When curses are required

Anyone who's been practicing the occult for long enough would have noticed how hard it is to change certain personal habits, character traits, aspects of personality, even temperament. The person experiences difficulties even though occult techniques and exercises are used. In some cases, even direct intervention from certain spiritual forces encounters hindrance and blockages.

This happens because some aspects of a person's individuality are deeply rooted into their being. It may also happen they are intertwined with some other aspects in such a convoluted manner, it becomes very difficult to set them apart, let alone change them, or risk causing more harm. Whichever the case, dealing with such aspects can become a lengthy uphill struggle even for the most diligent occultist.

Now let's imagine someone who is not an occult practitioner and who, like everyone out there, has their own traits, habits, etc. Some of them can annoy others but that is because of the others' personal likes and dislikes. However, some people happen to have certain traits that make them cause harm to others on a constant basis. I will not go into the reasons why those others would have to be subjected to such harm, since it has to do with whatever life lessons each individual has to learn, but will instead focus on individuals who bare certain "qualities" that make them cause harm repeatedly.

Black Moon transiting houses

The Astrology of the Black Moon by Laura Walker does a great job explaining the energies of this non-physical object from different perspectives. I found it lacking in certain respects and this article seeks to explain in more detail one such perspective. More exactly, I will address Black Moon (BML) transits through natal houses.

Besides aspects to natal planets and points, transits should also be observed in their relation to natal houses. Given the houses cover areas of life, it makes it easier to discern which sectors might be affected by transits, how, and to what degree. This applies to BML transits, especially since it usually goes about unnoticed, whether because some solely consider traditional astrology, or because those who dabble in modern astrology are more concerned with other forces.

To begin with, we must consider all transits as being macrocosmic influences. That is to say, they represent the totality of forces that act upon us in various ways. Their influences have acted upon people long before we were born and will continue to do so long after we pass into the beyond. This takes place irrespective of whether some pretentious dork, in his apparent infinite wisdom, doesn't think the energies of the heavens affect life down here.

Proposing a theory

I want to thank the two esteemed owners of the trendiest occult magazine for having allowed me to write articles for their establishment. This article was my last one. I was initially writing it for my blog, but then I thought more people may be interested of what it proposes. It was admitted.

The theory I'm proposing refers to spells failure in relation to a certain kind of individuals. Details supporting the theory are discussed within, alongside case study examples. Nevertheless, what I had to say will only remain a good, meh, or bad read if not subjected to further testing.

Magical farming

Anyone involved in the farming and gardening industry might be interested in methods to improve their operation through occult means. In that regard I highly recommend following The Cunning Farmer, who also started a youtube channel.

We came into contact a few years ago when he reported a successful working. Our interaction immediately revealed his extensive knowledge in regards to occult practices and occult related literature spanning into ancient times. Not only is he versed in astrology, he is also skilled in folk practices and employs old pagan elements in his work. He doesn'teven sshy away from incorporating anthroposophical elements either. 

He puts all this to use for the well-being of his farm, besides the usual daily work required. On top of that, he finds the time to perform occult research and write lengthy informative articles. For these reasons he has my deepest respect and appreciation. 

I wish him all the best in his endeavors!

Jupiter talismans for money

Financial related magical workings wouldn't be complete without Jupiter. With these five talismans for money I'm just one planet short of completing the seven classical (since in the case of Saturn it's best to wait for a few more years for decent auspicious times). Based on 777 I used amethyst crystals. They were inscribed with the astrological glyph of the planet and the divine name ABA (Aleph-Beth-Aleph), according to Agrippa.

Traditional Astrological Geomancy Readings

A personalised written geomancy reading from Nick Farrell, author of The Complete Book of Geomancy, using the traditional methods of astrological geomancy instead of the vague modern fortune-telling mush that has somehow survived by wearing beads.

This reading draws on the older geomantic tradition preserved in medieval, Renaissance and early modern sources. It is shaped by the work of Christopher Cattan, one of the most important Renaissance writers on geomancy, and John Heydon, who carried astrological and geomantic material into the English esoteric tradition. It also returns to the older Arabic meanings of the sixteen figures, in which many are more precise, more practical, and far less sentimental than their later popular interpretations.

Geomancy begins with a clear question. From that question, a chart is generated and the sixteen figures are placed into the astrological houses. The chart then shows how the matter stands, where the real pressure lies, what is strengthening or weakening the situation, and where the outcome is likely to move. Unlike a purely intuitive reading, traditional geomancy works through a structured symbolic grammar, which means the judgement comes from the pattern of the chart rather than from vague inspiration or whatever the reader had for breakfast.

Each reading is entirely personalised. You provide your question and the necessary background, and Nick casts the chart specifically for your situation. The answer is based on the figures, the houses, the witnesses, the judge, the repetitions in the chart, and the relationships among the figures. The aim is to give a clear traditional judgement, not a generic spiritual pep talk with incense smoke around the edges.

Geomancy is useful when a situation needs judgement rather than atmosphere. It can clarify whether a relationship is opening or closing, whether a project has real momentum, whether a conflict is likely to deepen, or whether a magical operation is being supported or resisted by the pattern of events. It is especially strong where the visible facts do not quite explain the situation, because the chart can show whether the matter is moving, blocked, weakening, concealed, supported, or likely to resolve in your favour.

You will receive a written interpretation explaining the chart and its judgement in plain English. The reading will show the central figure of the matter, the forces acting upon it, the likely direction of events, and any practical considerations suggested by the chart. Where timing, delay, loss, gain or hidden influence is shown, this will be included in the interpretation.

For best results, ask one clear question. Geomancy is at its strongest when the matter is sharply defined, because no divinatory system should be forced to untangle the entire human condition before lunch.

Archetype Deck Readings

Archetype Deck Readings with Paola Farrell offers a different kind of reading. It is not a fortune-telling deck in the usual sense, and its main purpose is not to predict external events. Instead, it identifies the deep symbolic forces active within a person, relationship, situation or life phase.

Kim Krans’ Archetypes Deck grew out of her encounter with depth psychology, myth, image, creativity, shadow work and inner transformation. In the guidebook, she explains that the deck emerged after she began studying within a Jungian approach to creativity, where archetype, dream, image, theatre, alchemy and myth became central ideas. She places the deck within a lineage shaped by C. G. Jung’s concept of archetypes as primordial images within the psyche, alongside the influence of writers and teachers such as Robert Bly, James Hillman and Michael Meade, whose work brought myth, soul, image and depth psychology into modern spiritual and creative practice.

The deck defines an archetype as the “original of its kind,” “the first image,” an “inherited emerging pattern,” and an “initial and eternal energy.” The 78 cards explore the roles, instincts, wounds, strengths and unconscious scripts that shape human behaviour. These patterns appear in dreams, stories, relationships, spiritual crises, and recurring life situations, revealing the symbolic forces behind love, fear, creativity, secrecy, conflict, healing, and transformation.

An Archetypes reading helps uncover which of these forces is active and what deeper story may be shaping the situation. It can reveal the role someone is unconsciously playing, the role another person occupies in their life, the pattern that keeps repeating, the shadow material asking for attention, the inner resource that needs to awaken, the stage of transformation currently unfolding, and the emerging symbolic lesson.

This makes the reading especially valuable for personal growth, spiritual questions, creative blocks, identity issues, recurring relationship patterns and major transitions. It is useful when a situation feels intense or strangely familiar, as if life has changed the costumes but kept the same script. The Archetype Deck looks beneath events and emotions to reveal the mythic pattern shaping the experience.
