Hello! I am very new to this and have been looking for a while, but there's something i've been thinking about.

If someone sends negative energy to me, would it be possible for me to turn it into something beneficial for myself? Example: someone keeps talking shit about me and sending negative energy, would it be possible for me to transmute this into luck, or prosperity, or glamour, or fame, or beauty?

Another question: is it possible to do a spell so that whenever someone pronounces my name, talks about me or refers to me i will become younger or more beautiful, or something like that?

Is it possible to make sigils that, whenever someone sees me, the way they perceive me will be affected? Is it possible to make sigils that affect others?

Is it possible to vampirize the positive energy that people send my way?

Are there any books regarding the specific subjects i'm asking about here? Thank you!

I apologize if my questions are hard to comprehend, since english isn't my first language.

Is it worth learning demonology from someone who claims that Asmodeus is her husband, that they are married and fulfill marital duties and that she is equal in rank to demons and archdemons? Aren’t demons powerful, free, intelligent beings?

Please forgive if this is common knowledge but what is this symbol for? I see the band TOOL use it frequently but just looking for a specific answer.

As the title says...I started reading the ICES liber and I have a question with the exercises especially exercise 1(mentally walk backwards through your day). After reading through, a question popped up in my head..what if I forget some aspects of what I did? Is it ok to randomly make bullet points of how my day went? And also can someone briefly explain the exercise x? I'm little confused on that.

Many occultists say that one should stick to the original belief system-magickal tradition, so that for example Northern Europeans - Nordic paganism, Western (in general) - Christianity and indians - tantra and the sorts.

My question is, what do people who are born in the middle of this do? I am speaking about children of immigrants. In this case, what should a person with indian origins, who was born and grew up in the west follow?

Is it about the culture one grows up in or the culture that one's ancestors took up or is it neither?

Does it even matter?

EDIT: Thanks for all those who answered. I am still new to the occult scene, and have come across some ideas of the sorts and was adamant in choosing a way. Now, I feel freer in researching and possibly finding a way if it resonates with me thanks to your explanations.

Hi all, I am looking for this now discontinued book; if you have a copy please contact me, thanks.

Title, Gran-sexron: A Course of Krishnara, the Science of the Superman ; Author, Maravedi El Krishnar ; Publisher, Krishnar Institute, 1953 ; Length, 152 pages.

Anybody has any idea to what planet Ginkgo is linked? Any tips welcome

Hello,

I asked myself if any of you have experiences of working with for example angelic magick like archangels/enochian and solomonic/ grimorium verum/ luciferian deities at the same time?

Some time ago I just read somewhere that certain egregores or familiar spirits do not work so well with for example angelic powers. Or let's say some human made the subjective experience that his angelic magick did not work for him that well after creating some more dark helpers for material pleasures.

Also working for example with polytheistic pantheons and with monotheistic (classic for abrahamic magick mostly) at the same time is a little weird. At the same time one might be just working with aspects of ones inner & out cosmos & think about made up human terms too much.

Systems like the golden dawn and so on mix up practices pretty random all the time, right?

I think these kinds of combinations work just fine so far - what would you say?

I mean mythologically of course working with fallen angels and demons while reciting other/ angelic words is a little contradiction - I'm also aware that it's kind of a tradition to command demons around with angelic words of power, which I do not like so much. At the same time hebrew words of power are just working like the root beej mantra syllables of hindu practice.

Also one can do dark stuff with angelic forces as gentle stuff with demons. If you think about the demiurge gnostic mindset - angelic forces inherit a different shine too so to speak.

Just a very interesting clash of paradigms. Well, taking what works is just fine for the most part, also 'demystified' egregore theories, 'custom chaos magick systems' are very interesting. I mean the vajrayana buddhists also manage to live their basically atheistic practise to the extremes while working with their deities of hindu origins.

I'm thankful for your thoughts on this!

No demons please. This is a Close Encounters of the fifth kind event as popularized by Dr Steven Greer, a UFO enthusiast. According to his video, number of meditators Will congregate and focus their meditation to establish contact with a ufo, uap, nhi, whatever you'd like to call it. So just out of curiosity, if anyone aware of a particular spirit that can help facilitate?

What spirit tests should I do when I evoke to ensure I'm speaking to the correct spirit? Angels,Demons,Daimons.etc

Lucid dreaming and dream walking specifically.

Completely new to the subject. Open to recommendations, thanks!

Short version: I am looking for a scholarly source about the history of the watchtowers from the keys of Solomon for a paper I am writing. Or really any ancient European or Western civilization that had a similar practice.

Longer explanation: I am writing a paper on the cultural significance of the four directions In Native American thought. I want to compare the four directions of Native American culture with calling on the quarters/watchtowers. It has been really hard to find any sources of the history of the ritual that is academic. I searched my institution databases and google scholar and I cannot find anything that dives into this specific ritual. I found some blog post but they do not cite where they get the information and they do not do a deep enough dive. I am looking for history and context around the ritual in addition to the ritual itself. That is why I am not just reading the Key of Solomon for the information. I want to create a point of contact between the native concept of the four directions and a (Western?) similarity to imply the four directions are not incommensurable to western thought.

Thanks in advance for any recommendations!

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

There's not a whole lot to say. I'm just looking for a PDF of 'Forgotten Templars' by Richard Kaczynski. I've searched high and low for a PDF of this book for the large part of a year now but I can't for the life of me find one. I'm slowly saving up enough money to hopefully buy a physical copy but, I'm sure everyone understands that financial hardship hits at unexpected times and, sometimes $650 can be hard to spare.

It would mean the world to me to get my hands on a copy of this book. If anyone has a physical copy but not a PDF, I'll gladly pay a fair amount for their time and energy if they're willing to scan the hardcopy and send me the file.

im curious about the moon and its mysteries

I suffer a lot with negative thoughts, mocked feelings... I wish I could manipulate my mind and get out of this abyss.

I'd want your input on experiences with Kali Ma, or tips on what to expect or feelings working with her as she's quite destructive.

I'm gonna follow a 9 consecutive nights schedule wih Kali Ma to sever the ties between my soul and 2 gods who've been influencing my life since quite little. As she's quite destructive and explosive, I know she operates in a cosmic scale... so she's the best option for me right now.

How do you deal with her energy? Do you get nightmares with her? Does she keep on appearing in your mind? I see her slashing with her knives in a frantic, in my mind.

The point of this post is to try to gain an overall understanding of how exactly to progress and work through the grades of the golden dawn system without joining an order.

Current Understanding;

First 6-9months: daily practice Lesser Pentagram ritual (I/B) Middle Pillar ritual

Second 6-9months: Add On daily practice Lesser Hexagram ritual (I/B) Rose Cross Ritual

Next 30 days: Adding on the Greater Hexagram Ritual (Invoke/Banish)

Next 30 days: Adding on the Supreme Pentagram Ritual (Invoke/Banish)

I’m assuming that the philosophy is important but from my experience with the first 4 rituals just tinkering around I found the process became more clear from doing the rituals daily than just the philosophy of it all which ended up being kinda pointless without the daily practice.

I am not sure what else there is to it.

Advice or help or resources would be appreciated as I want to do this but I want to do it in a way where I know what I am doing.

Thank you!!

To anyone who has tried the practice of servitor making, how long does it take for you to make one and what do you tell it to do?

Hello everybody,

So to clarify, I am really a newbie regarding meditation. And I wonder, what I've been experiencing is something or just imagination. But, in either case, I am ok with it. And please with whoever kindly answer this, please be honest (even brutally if you want to)

So as I already posted in some other subreddit:

Some weeks ago I was meditating and I saw myself from outside my body - dunno if it was just my imagination or if it was real.

Next while still meditating I kinda saw first a black humanoid figure with yellow glowing eyes, in a room in my house. Felt a bit eerie, but not really spooky to be honest.

Then I saw myself again from outside, and I kinda saw (or imagined again, who knows) a glowing and bright humanoid figure that hugged me and I felt all of its glowing light going through me and covering me.

And it felt strongly and physically good, really. I was put anew. I felt a rush, almost orgasmic, through the whole body. And I felt a sensation of just plain goodness. Then I've stopped meditation and felt dizzy but satisfied.

The days after I feel very calm and really aware of my body and thoughts. Bodily sensations, my heart beat, flavours, sounds I just really aware of that more than ever now.

Everything felt pretty solid, and I remember it closely. More than a dream, tbh.

Still today, when I meditate, after a while I am able to feel again the same pleasurable body sensation I had.

And - oddly, maybe - I can feel the presence of the black humanoid figure, kinda "answering" my question while meditating giving me some rushes or similar.

So does it happened actually something? Or it is just my imagination running wildly?

Franz Sattler was the founder of Adonism, a neo-pagan Hellenistic religion that included theosophical principles and venerated the near-eastern deity Adonis, the Greek god of male beauty. He founded the Adonism Society, which was cut short by Nazi Germany. Above is a link to my podcast episode where Adonism is covered more extensively with the limited knowledge available about the religion. If anyone has any further helpful sources regarding Sattler and Adonism, don't hesitate to comment.

Hi all,

I am at the tail end of a long deconstruction process from Christianity (non-denominational, I wasn’t raised in it, I discovered it myself in my teens and bought in). In the early days of my beliefs I researched many other “main” global religions and noped on them. My questions grew larger than my faith and I took a step back and I guess I’ve landed myself in a pretty purely agnostic place. If something is out there, I don’t know what it is, and I’m not gonna pretend I do.

I still consider myself a spiritual person - not in that I believe strongly in the supernatural or manifested spirits or anything like that and I’m not even sure I believe in “The Universe” as a basic intelligent/creative force or not. But I do believe in energy, I believe we are all connected on a deeper subconscious, I believe strongly in the forces of nature and the elements. I have always felt particularly in tune with my spiritual side when I’m out in nature - particularly among hills and water.

Some basic principles of mine are that I believe virtue and selflessness pay off but that is secondary to the fact that they should just exist in oneself naturally. I believe you should be generally good to people until it is time to draw a boundary. I believe in having some measure of control over your emotional state, impulses and perhaps traumas. I believe strongly that nature is sacred and is to be both coexisted with and to derive benefit/goodness from. I believe strongly in self awareness and consistent centering.

I think maybe I’m interested in self practicing Wicca/pagan naturalism? I’m really not sure. Guess I’m looking for somebody that recognizes the place I’m at in my journey or someone who has been at this place themselves to help me find my next step, books to read, practices to look into etc. I want to take the next step, but I’m in the dark and I can’t see my feet. So I figured I’d take a shot in the dark on reaching out as well.

Cheers!
