Venus post-retro

Venus will be retrograde between March 2 and April 13, between 10°50' Aries and 24°37' Pisces. It will thus do an about face in its sign of exile and return into that of its exaltation.

Naturally, beneficial magical operations involving the planet's forces should be avoided during this time. Unless you're a money hungry wannabe who sells stuff made irrespective of astro times. Anyway, Venus' return into Pisces shouldn't raise our hopes too much either.

Working with Guardian Angel

"Go on, dum-dum."

Now that I’ve announced the Angels of the Birth Chart thing and I already went into details regarding how one can benefit from interacting with their Guardian Angel, I will detail on my latest experiences. The first one began late last year while the second one about a couple of weeks go. Given I’ve had more of the former, I will address it and may speak of the latter at some future time after I’ve tested things in more detail.

Back in November last year I did my daily practice as a communion with my Crowley-HGA and my “good” and “bad” angels. I usually use this as daily practice, instead of regular practical rituals, during extended Voids of Course or at times the Moon is not reflecting light. The reasons for this should be obvious upon reading Asteria.

Upon asking them for help and guidance I was told to close my eyes and relax, as usual. Then I was instructed to focus on my heart.

Energies of a place

Several years before I began occult practice I used to watch certain TV shows that addressed esoteric topics,  featuring various guests. 

One such guest spoke of a magician being able to change the energies of a place. In his example, a magician moved into a condo where junkies used to hang every evening inside the ground floor hallway and basically do their shit, creating all sorts of unpleasantness for the people living there. Some time after the magician moved in, the junkies were gone. The newer energies of the place, having been set into motion by the magician, manifested in ways that kicked the junkies out for good. Those ways can consist of police raids, tenants uniting to throw out the trash, etc.

These things can be done for good, such as presented in the script for my ritual for a home. They can also be done on a regular basis, through periodic rituals targeting a certain building or area. The latter will wear off after some time unless the rituals are anchored into talismans that have to be placed inside the targeted zone, but even so,  the talismans are susceptible to being found and destroyed or discarded. The former will be longlasting, even without being anchored into a talisman, at least until such time the magician decides to change the energies again.

Angels of the Birth Chart & Holy Guardian Angel

I'm happy to announce a new service, Angels of the Birth Chart & Holy Guardian Angel based on methods described by H.C. Agrippa.

This service is in the form of a 33 page report revolving around one's natal chart. Note that one page towards the end is blank due to a bug in the program used to render the document, so no need to worry about any missing information. The bug does not affect the calculations, solely the paging, so don't worry about that!

The report contains the native's personal divine names and the name of their guardian angel, as derived from their chart. One of good ol' Cornelius' methods is used for the calculations.

Pluto pathworking

In Cielos I spoke about working with the outer planets and presented means of doing so, including a couple of spirit names. I also said that unlike Uranus and Neptune, I had yet to work with Pluto by the time I was writing the book. But that has changed as of last month.

Shortly before the New Year I did a ritual to call on the planet's angel. For the past year I had been receiving signs in the form of news of the planet showing up in non-related online seaarches and memories of me thinking of working with Pluto years back suddenly popping into my awareness. I dismissed them at the time when instead instead I should've recognized them as such.

It arrived and I greeted it and presented it with a tea light as a welcoming gift. I got a name and even though it checks out as being that of an actual angel according to A Dictionary of Angels, I will refrain from making it public for a while until I experiment more.

Example of why magix fails

In accordance with Mr. Farrell's new book Why Magic Fails I wanted to bring up the following example. It's not the dumbass I referred to quite recently although I'd happily share more about his laughable candle rubbing sessions if I get notified of them.

This particular case is an occurrence involving magical work to bring about an outcome of an amorous nature. The man in question worked with Venus to determine a particular woman he'd met a couple of weeks prior reciprocate his feelig attracted towards her and then some so theyd get closer. The spell was done at a time Venus was strong, the election itself being quite potent.

Mars strikes again

The woman I've made a Mars protection talisman for earlier last year contacted me last October telling me she's receiving threats from a 63 year old weirdo. The man went as far as to issue death threats towards her. He didn't assault her or anything, but more than often he would scare her with all sorts of verbal cruelty.

I told her not to worry since the talisman had worked superbly thus far. I recommended she light a tea light above the talisman every so often if she becomes too worried about any possible threat and ask for protection since that would add and extra kick to its forces. I mention this in my talisman class as well since I found it a good way of getting something extra out of these things, even for a short while.
