Ok, question. I know that some of you use cerimonial magic, or circles. I found this at a website called United Nuclear (http://www.unitednuclear.com/aerogel.htm), and was spurned to tell all of you about it. I think this could be very useful and even off the charts exemplary when used for rituals or protection. It is also a very cheep chemical. What do you guys think?

Aerogel
chemical formula: N/A (proprietary)
( granular )
Developed by NASA, Aerogel is the lightest and lowest-density solid known to exist. It also holds the World records for being the best insulator and lowest density solid. Aerogel is composed of amorphous Silicon Dioxide, and 99.8% Air.
Aerogel negates just about any kind of energy transfer - thermal, electrical or acoustic. Aerogel's density is just 3 milligrams per cubic centimeter (it weighs only three times that of air). Its melting point is 2,200 degrees F (1,200 degrees C). Due to its light weight, it is sold by volume and not weight ( the quantity of Aerogel shown in the image above is 100cc ).

Genearlly speaking, in cerimonial magick some energy should come through the circle, even when working with malevolent entities. The circle as a representation, among other things, of the Magickian's Will can regulate what comes through and what doesnt. However, I assume if a person was going to work with something really wicked like leviathan or andras then perhaps this would come in handy.

Which is mostly why I posted it. I suppose its just an interesting theory aside from actual usability. What does every one else think? Win or lose idea?

A problem the magickian might run into with this material is trying to command the spirit while in the circle. We take it as a given that the magickian's will extended into the universe is a manifestation of energy. If this is the case then the aerogel would make it virtually impossible to order the entitiy to appear or even go away. With malevolent enitites the magickians ability to command is paramount. Hrm, this is a bit perplexing. I think the material could be used as a failsafe rather than a general circle with some sucess. If a persons circle began to fail and an entity began to attack them the magickian could toss some of the material on the mirror or in the spirit's general direction.

I see your point. I really want this to be a good thing however, I know there is a use in this I just don't know what yet.

i would have to run some tests but it does show some potentials, but i wouldnt use it in rituals unless youre trying to soludate yourself, it might put a rip in the energy flow...but ill see if i can get some and ill run some tests
