An anointing to emit your own inner essence in the form of sound...

Your energy, your intention, your personal “aura code”... 

Hold the maraca by the round part, with the stick either besteen your fingers, or sticking down from your hand... use your arm, with elbow and / or wrist movements to gently shake. Let yourself flow with a rhythm... any pattern, any tempo, that comes from you, 

Doing this after casting spells will add personal energy unto your cast intent..,

Using this near spirits will offer your own energy as an expression and extension of yourself, to bond with, connect and and draw spirits closer, 

I have used this many times with spirits, with great success.
