Manifest your destiny (and then some)

A few years ago I was busy writing a book on destiny and how one could ease themselves towards it using occult means. I wrote more than half of it before I started postponing writing on it more and more. I ended up shelving it for good and now that I stopped writing for good that's all gone. I still have the text though.

But I added some key ideas from it in my article "When 'the above' says 'no': Reasons spells go bust" in Asteria Unveiled. The method is also greatly alluded to in the article "A Bacchic tale: Uncorking planetary spirits" in the same book, but anyone interested in going down that road would need more insight and research. Hints can also be found in the article on eclipses as well as in Asteria. A more in-depth study of the astrological houses inside one's natal chart would be a good idea, but one must also not overlook the zodiac signs too.

The method itself as a concept first appeared in The Magick of Astrorelationships as an additional use for the means to improve one's relationship presented inside that book. It is a short note at the end of the book that tells the reader they can use those methods on themselves. It does not mention anything about destiny because back then I was experimenting with additional material that eventually ended up in Magick Pills for Hard Transits and the ideas about writing a different book relating to destiny came to me at that time upon observing the results of my work.

But anyone willing to go down that road can still do it by making use of the abovementioned sources while undergoing study that can prove lengthy. The Magick of Chiron (now also en Espanol) can also be of help in particular cases even if it doesn't speak of destiny. But some people might need it along the way. 

It is important to keep in mind that the methods presented inside the book on transits do not apply. When used, they only help the person put their destiny on pause, so to speak. You can find out more about why that would happen in the article "Nothing light and fluffy: Astrology, magic and Karma" from Asteria 2. Instead, only the spirits found there would help if they're put to work as described in the book on relationships. However, the book on transits can be used another way, such as back when a bunch of misfits took on the world during times when iconic occult figures were using their alleged authority to chastise people into staying indoors just because they thought their god-like figure in this universe allows them to order people around as they please. And they kept posting pictures of their (prayer) work. I've addressed this to a degree in Magic Words. Both the feat itself and the dumbass posers.

After a diligent work that can last a considerable time and which can result in more than a few unpleasant events and states of being for the person, he or she will not only see their life with different eyes more or less, but they would also encounter somewhat different experiences than before. More correctly, they will encounter more experiences of a certain kind, whereas before those experiences would've been more or less a rarity and the person would've more or less view them as something alien and would've more or less avoided them. The person would also act and react differently than before, or at least certain behaviors of them would become more prominent than before. 

And then! Having done all that work and having experienced its results in the long run, one can work on changing their destiny. This would be done with the help of my method of overcoming natal retrogrades. The title itself doesn't cover the extent of its applications since it can be used for practically anything inside the natal chart that can be tackled using magical means. The aforementioned sources would become useful in this case as well, since they provide the person with additional forces than those presented in the document on retrogrades. This is not to say that document is incomplete, but it only covers the required information to deal with planets. 

And this, boys and girls of the "happy magicianist club" who've been skeptical of my work so far and who were making snarky comments whenever I said I'm cutting a pathway into uncharted occult territory, is basically it. Instead of posting pretty pictures of altars and tools online while praying to for others to acknowledge me based on those pictures, I've been working my ass off to come across new stuff and to bring improvement. 

I know it is still to early for this stuff to boom, for many occultists out there are likely continue being busy worshiping false prophets who preach of systems and traditions they've bastardized based on their own beliefs, but I've played my part in opening the path. Others would have to follow it and pave it by synthesizing the above sources into a single solid material and, naturally, many would have to try it out for themselves. But it's still the dawn of a new age and although this shit has been pretty much spoiled by sissy new-agers, one only has to see the signs. They'd only have to know where to look.

"And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in." Luke 22:10 - KJV

The above verse translates into the Age of Aquarius comes after that of Pisces, regardless of whether astronomers and astrologers can't agree of the exact date it will begin or if has yet to have begun. Irrespective of its beginning, this new age is set to cast aside the illusions (and delusions) of Pisces by bringing in higher knowledge. The pitcher of water symbolizes that knowledge and Aquarius is usually depicted as pouring the water unto the land, meaning the knowledge comes from "above" - the same "above" as that in the title of the article in Asteria 2. 

"God works through people" is a saying from around here. In its most basic sense it is used to highlight situations when someone is in great need and then out of the blue someone else comes and offers them a helping hand. That someone else is thought as being "sent by God" to help the person in need. On a more subtle, esoteric note, the saying basically says people are God and they can manifest God's will, with the important highlight that they do so only and if their ego allows them to attune themselves to their divine nature. This is done in many ways and I'm going to start talking mysticism here, but my point is that ever since I encountered my HGA (ahem! Crowley-HGA, for all ye posers) I began going down the path that so far has lead me to write this article. 

During this whole time I've struggled to allow myself to be guided by it even more and I'm saying this because the mundane side of the personality can be a bitch. Especially mine since I'm basically a stupid idiot. But if a stupid idiot like me could do something like this, then I'm sure others out there will do much more. So to all ye magicianists out there I say, y'all better start looking for the water bearers and stop riding posers' dicks. Better still, work your own way towards becoming a water bearer! 

Then again, I'm sure those posers have their role in all of this, for without them to hold people stuck in the stinky marshes of putrefied dogma there would likely be no one who gets fed up of all that stench and work their way out of it. So keep stinking, you!

Hate on, dum-dums!
