Enough!

Copy and paste cults strike again. For some years it's become a trend in the occult community to publish the same thing as others before, with added embelishments to give it a personal touch to make it stand apart from the same thing that's been published before. Occult hipsters scribble over the classics and call it revelation. Not only that, but they also have the nerve to chop material from the original sourse.

There’s a long-running con in the occult scene and it goes something like this: dig up an old text everyone already knows, scribble in a few extra adjectives, change some sentence order, and slap your name on the front as if you just descended Mount Sinai with divine wisdom. It’s not just lazy, it’s almost an art form. You’ve got your rehashed Orphic Hymns, dolled up with enough theatrical flair to make a goth kid blush, and your Picatrix knock-offs, where people have the gall to butcher the original material like it’s a Wikipedia article with no moderators.

I just noticed this blog has 1 follower! It must've happened very recently too! You may be wondering why I'm making such a big deal out of it, but for me it really is a big deal. It means I must be doing something right in order for someone to decide to actually follow my articles instead of simply popping in every now and then.

Thank you! Hopefully you've found at least something of use here and reading my stuff is not a complete waste of your time.

Why curses fail

This comes as a recurring afterthought, something I kept thinking to tell people in general and potential clients in particular. It should make a good addition to Why Magic Fails, but it solely focuses on cases where the force you've set into motion is powerful, the ritual was done using a good election, etc. It applies to beneficial spells too, but by shifting perspectives, although I've spoken of spells in general in Words.

In order for a curse to work completely as intended, it must utterly obliterate a certain structure or structures. That is to say, it must destroy a construction that is more or less material in nature, but is the product of our material existence nonetheless. It can be someone's body, relationship, status and so on. Cracking that structure is not enough, for it will simply cause more or less damage one can overcome more or less easily. 

That's why a lot of curses have only temporary, often short lived outcomes, especially if the curses themselves aren't permanent. In "A living hell: The eerie twelfth house" from Asteria 2 I briefly mentioned permanent curses saying they're not a topic for that book. Perhaps I'll write a class on the matter at some point. We shall see although there's no actual need since I already have a class on that's covering one particular powerful kind of such curses.

More on Guardian Angel

I talk about the Guardian Angel in this report, as well as in this article. 

I'm sharing what Rudolf Steiner had to say about how this being works both directly and indirectly. He goes off on a tangent only to come full circle with the ending conclusion, but what he addresses during that extrapolation should represent a bitch slap to those imposing the need to "see" and "hear" spirits. His explanation made me realize why it is that I can "hear" spirits better whenever I feel my energetic body is less tensed.

And now I'm going off on a tangent too since there are also those who impose certain non-European practices have to do with classic European grimoires and have a fetish of being mounted. Therefore, here's this article by una ragazza molto speciale, addressing being mounted by spirits, also on a tangent. The reason for sharing it should be obvious in the fact the Guardian Angel isn't mounting you and would not allow any spirit to do so either (unlike what some allegedly authorized claims have bragged about in the past).
