Yule Goat gift

Her Cutsiefulness strikes again! A few days ago everyone's favorite woowoo and energy worker texted me something about having sent me a magical Saturnalia present via the Yule Goat. Being so adorable, she made it seem like it's no biggie although yours truly was awestruck by her ever so amazing gesture. She told me to go out and about and await for it to hit me, so I did.

The actual manifestation of the gift is a pure lesson on how magick works and I will go ahead and relate the entire story with every little detail so people would get an idea of how the universe is being bent at times like these. I've already given a detailed example in the article on Hecate, but Her Cutsiefulness deserves her own article because she's way up there with the divine. I'm saying this because unlike the majority of occultists who borrow from "the beyond", Her Cutsiefulness has her own innate superpowers (which makes one wonder why she'd be hanging out with the likes of me).

Ritual template

Over time people have asked me how I conduct my rituals, meaning what ritual steps I follow. While my work heavily draws on lodge magick techniques, I do not shy away from incorporating various Pagan elements whenever the situation calls for it, both ancient and neo-pagan. I also adapt stuff from medieval grimoires and even from what's being called "darke fluff" into my work depending on the entities I want to work with. 

In general though, my template is pretty simple despite the fact it can come across as rocket science to those who can't wrap their heads around Qabalah despite posing into experts and scholars. The latter can make use of the template I present in Cielos since there are no qabalistic elements detailed there in regards to the ritual itself, while at the same time they can learn some quabalistic stuff from there as well. They would have to know Spanish though, hehe.

Occult beggars

It's been more than a few years now since I started noticing yet another trend in the occult environment. As with all other trends, this too is being propelled by an underlying fast money grabbing theme. While I see nothing wrong with making money in this field, the methods used by some should be raising huge red flags and I've briefly addressed some of that in past articles. This article focuses on on a particular method, one that confers apparent legitimacy to the people using it by making it seem they are highly specialized scholars in the field.

More than once have I seen online posts and comments made by certain people asking for money to perform research. While this might not be as pathetic as a certain African person who wanted people to pay them for meditating on stopping the pandemic, it too is a scam people usually don't recognize. Some of them end up willingly paying money to someone who sits on their ass and collects for apparently doing something any serious occultist should do. The fact they're not actually serious occultists but actually posers is of lesser importance, as a quick overlook over their teachings will likely make people aware of that, yet asking for money to look into more or less older occult sources should be punished by law. I mean, calling a certain KoS Mercury pentacle some kind of fancy octa-thingy as a marketing gimmick should be clear proof of fraud.

Demonic experiment

Although the title of the article may come across as dark and frightening, the contents are anything but. In fact, they detail a simple experiment I've been doing every so often over the past few years. It involves the Goetia spirit Seere and my attempt to make use of his powers in various ways:

"His Office is to go and come; and to bring abundance of things to pass on a sudden, and to carry or recarry anything whither thou wouldest have it to go, or whence thou wouldest have it from. He can pass over the whole Earth in the twinkling of an Eye. He giveth a True relation of all sorts of Theft, and of Treasure hid, and of many other things. He is of an indifferent Good Nature, and is willing to do anything which the Exorcist desireth."

The underlined text in bold letters represents the spirit's powers I've been playing with. In short, the spirit can apparently move stuff around, make objects come to you and depart from you, etc. I think there's at least one spirit from that list that is said to be good for finding lost objects, but so far I have yet to work with it. Instead, Seere has helped me a bunch of times with respect to making lost objects show up (and rather quickly).

Talisman - fifth lunar mansion

The fifth lunar mansion is Almizen and spans between 21*26' Taurus and 4*17' Gemini. Talismans made with its powers are good for "receiving good from kings and high officials", as the Picatrix instructs. Generally, this is a good talisman for dealing with authorities, possibly for smashing through annoying bureaucratic issues.

The image of the talisman is "the head of a man without a body" and you needn't go artistic on it as in the above image. The name of the mansion spirit is to be inscribed above the image, said name being Cabil. You can also inscribe the name of the mansion below if you want, or a waxing crescent, or both.

The date I've selected for the election is 2 Jan 2023 and keep in mind the following chart is for NYC time. You will have to adjust the chart to your location and have the Moon rising.
