Saying it out loud in your head?

[RiverofThoughts]

Hey guys, I was wondering if its possible to do the rituals/invocations in my head instead of saying out loud during the days there are people present in my house. I prefer them not to hear my ritual process. Is this possible and as effective still?

i don't think it matters as much as people think it does.
i do my rituals without saying a word at times, just all in my head, and there is no visible
lack of success.

i think only when i do the attracting/banishing ritual that i prefer to vocalize out loud.

sweet this makes it so much better for me. Im excited to perform NAP twice a day. once right after I wake up and once right before I go to bed at night.

i don't this it matters as much as people think it does.

The power of the spoken words it is well known.It carries more power that the one said in the mind.

Agreed with Nox. I would say that it might not be important for each and every ritual one might be doing, but some (Enochian comes to mind) place a lot of importance on the notion of speaking as vibration. There are methods to sub-vocalize with vibration out there if you need to be less audible. I'll post up what I can find.

vocalization is a tool that helps link magick to the physical realm much like wands, chalices, etc etc.
but like i said, i don't think it matters as much as people think it does.

and while it may be true that some systems does put emphasis on vocalization, i don't particularly
think it's that necessary for NAP.

Scientists are able to stimulate portions of the physical brain

and the test subject has an experience of God or

something similar. Is God and magick in the brain?
