In the Mysteries system (The Metu Neter) The initiate to overcome a shorcoming in the area of good judgement studies Anpu (Anubis) then enters a tranclike meditative state envisioning themselves wearing the head of the deity. Over a period of time one will began to take on the attributes of fine judgement found in the deity. It is through the subconscious trance (self hypnosis) directly impacting the conscious being that we yield the greatest result. These visualizations, and affirmation techniques learned from the Metu Neter were later incorporated into Yoruba.
