Kicking a dead up the stairs

Now that we're nearing Halloween I think it's time I share my only major magical working involving a dead person. By major I mean a direct ritual instead of basic offerings of candles, flowers, liquid and/or solid libations, etc. By working I mean I've done a ritual on behalf of a dead person involving another force, instead of calling on the spirit of the dead itself and asking it to do something. I have to mention this because what I've done is different to what's presented in the necromancy class.

I know a man who has more than average psychic powers we were able to test to a degree. He is not involved in the occult, is not religious although he believes in divinity in his own way. He prefers to see to his own mundane living instead of taking on magical practice. He hasn't trained his powers and doesn't feel like it. He cannot use them at will, at any moment or on any person.

Void of Course article

Mr Farrell recently started a magical training blog to offer people practical information regarding Golden Dawn and Greco-Egyptian systems, as well as other important occult related topics. One of these topics is astrology, something he and una ragazza molto speciale have covered in this article.

I was asked to contribute with an article of my own, covering Void of Course. I've done so and it got published last week. It was beautifully edited by una ragazza molto speciale who deserves my full gratitude, and then some, for having allowed my trademark writing style to shine. It covers what the event is, its duration and implications in magical work, with added examples from horary astrology showing how it affects developments. The explanations contain certain details I've yet to discuss on the subject, either in my books, on blog posts or elsewhere. I think that by reading them one may consider the notion of broken dreams more in depth, especially since the Moon covers daydreaming as much as it covers nightly dreams.

All in all, it should be an insightful reading for beginners and more experienced alike, especially since I could come up with at least one example of a knowledgeable person selling astrological talismans made during VoC.

Complexity does not guarantee success

I've heard of people doing hour-long rituals full of all sorts of complicated stuff like Opening by Watchtower, multiple lengthy invocations, using a substantial arsenal of paraphernalia in dramatic fashion, even running around the altar like a madman screaming gibberish. While I have nothing against that if these things make sense in the working itself and are used properly, that doesn't guarantee such a ritual will have the desired effect. By desired effect I mean the forces set into motion manifesting the magician's intent to its fullest, whether for practical or mystical purposes.

I recently received a short and simple ritual from una ragazza molto speciale, specifically crafted by her for working towards what in Jungian terms are referred to as the Anima and Animus. The operant is to encounter an avatar of their Anima/Animus and ask for whatever it has to offer them, ending by recognizing him or herself as being one with their Anima/Animus.

Horary reading

This is going to be a lengthy article and I hate writing them as much as I hate reading them, especially now that I have to deal with a lot in my personal life, but I consider it necessary.

Some time ago someone asked me why I don't do horary as a service if I do elections. I told the person I've not the experience to interpret a horary chart since I'm unfamiliar with all its many quirks and how they worth together. Truth be told I haven't found it necessary to go into it. But things may change at some point with recent events and a backstory is needed. 

A little over a month ago a man contacted me asking me to expose his ex wife's secrets to him, mostly those regarding their marital relationship. He and the woman divorced earlier this year and he had most of his reasons straightened, but his gut feeling told him there may be more to it than the accusations he held against her.

Begone ye profane ones

A brief reminder to the dumbasses who said they don't believe the energies of the heavens affect life on Earth, of how obtuse and ignorant they are, despite posing as scholars and erudites. On top of that, these people also brag about working with spirits, something which in time ought to broaden their perspectives and grant them a more complex view of the world, but unfortunately this doesn't seem to be the case. 

It goes to prove that lighting candles and praying to spirits while preaching it to be some ancient tradition makes you as fake news as some wannabe voodoo group full of sad pathetic fucktards with no childhood friends from northern Italy, who have become the laughingstock of genuine ATR practitioners.

In discussing the image of the Mithras cult (tagged video), Rudolf Steiner tells of how the soul passes through the planetary spheres on its journey into incarnation. These spheres bestow upon it certain qualities required to experience existence in the flesh. It is thus self-evident that earthly man has a direct connection to the heavens and, by extension, any changes occurring in the heavens reverberate into man's earthly existence in some form or another.

This is yet another reason people ought to test their occultist before paying them to perform whatever services.

Planetary cycles

In Asteria 1 we addressed planetary cycles even briefly, as well as presented a table for it. These cycles reflectas transits over someones natal chart, thus influencing people's lives to greater or lesser degree. We also mentioned in the book slower planets usually have a greater and lengthier impact on people than faster transiting ones. Let us consider two such examples, Jupiter and Saturn, the slowest of the seven classical planets.

Jupiter takes about twelve years to return to its position in someone's chart. That usually marks the beginning of puberty, a period of sudden grown and development. I'm referring to how things used to be, for in the past several decades things like gmo have made their impact on the human body. Nowadays it's not unusual for me to come across teens who are above my height, often far beyond my volume. I'm just over 6'1" and almost 155 pounds.

At any rate, Jupiter, the planet of growth and expansion, is the catalyst for this sudden growth of the body. Not only that, but it also causes changes in the mind, for children usually start pondering philosophical and religious concepts at around that age, even in a shallow manner.

Spirits don't give a damn about your earthly achievements

Some dumbass used to teach that spiritual authority is gained by enumerating your earthly achievements to spirits when conjuring them. More exactly, one ought to list such achievements in the occult field.

This, of course, is utter bs! Telling the spirits you authored such and such books and seemingly scholastic papers, working such and such system for whatever amount of time, even bragging you're in the R.R. et A.C. don't amount to crap from the spirits' perspective. At best you'd bore them with your long grocery list. It is the initiation one undergoes for entering the Inner Order that will allow them to increase their spiritual authority. That is why Golden Dawners are introduced to working with spirits at Adeptus Minor and not prior (unless it's some fake order run by some Impotentor).

Tarot much?

Last month I got myself a Rider-Waite deck. It's my first tarot deck ever and I bought it while I'm halfway through my eleventh year of practice. I chose it because I'm most familiar with its cards and symbolism, having made use of them more than once in my work.

Some fanatics demand people get a tarot deck as soon as they begin their magical practice, making it seem indispensable to the work. It's not. It won't help you LBRP-ing yourself into exhaustion or in maintaining a constant regular practice. Quite the opposite, it can become addictive and distract you from magical work. So if you want to really practice the occult it's best to do the actual thing instead of wasting time playing with cards for trivialities.

It will help you in contemplating the symbolism behind the cards in order to better understand each of the forces they represent to a greater degree. It will help if using the cards as gateways to astral realms. Naturally, it will help if you want to learn, or become better at tarot divination.

Breakup curse

In a somewhat recent article I addressed reasons curses fail. Here's an example of a successful curse that worked as intended, being part of a large scale magical endeavor.

Some years back I embarked on a magical crusade with Mr. Farrell. The campaign started off with a bang, only to peter out because someone later forgot to play Christopher Columbus thus not leaving room for someone else to play Caesar. But at least the first stage was glorious. Its strategic aim was to permanently separate a couple.

Yours truly fulfilled the task with flying colors, but received no medal or promotion afterwards. At any rate, a powerful descending Saturn in domicile and triplicity did the job in no time. Iartă-mă, Dovlecel, but I was ever only thinking of your long-term well-being!

Asking for it

Some inbred with blonde pubes glued to his upper lip and marker drawings on his chin threatened una ragazza molto speciale for having written this article. I guess he felt he was being called out despite the fact the article mentions no names. 

Irrespective of his feelings, I want to remind him of what my forefather did to his forefathers. While it would be a bit impractical for me to go about hunting people with a sharp wooden pole, I'm quite able to impale people from afar in another fashion.

Geomantic figures colors

The following details come from John Heydon's Theomagica: A Temple of Wisdom, Mr Farrell recently edited and published. I find them interesting to experiment with in magical workings involving geomantic figures, especially talismans, as well as in mystical ones, i.e. pathworking into their realm.

Puer: white mixed with red; Amissio and Caput Draconis: white mixed with citrine; Albus: lovely white mixed with red; Populus and Via: green, or russet black; Fortuna Major: green, yellow or gold; Conjunctio: purple or grayish white, sometimes black speckled with blue, green, white, or a dark crimson or whitish tawny; Rubeus: red mixed with brown; Aquisitio: red, yellow, or green and sanguine; Carcer: white, russet, or dun color; Tristitia: tawny, sky-colored with blue; Laetitia: a green, whitish, glistening color.

Puella, Fortuna Minor and Cauda Draconis remain unaddressed by the original author for some reaon. Even so, many of the color correspondences seem completely odd, such as in the case of Carcer or Tristitia, given their nature and planetary attribution. I have no idea where Heydon got them or even if he paid any attention to them. Mr Nixter adds his own remarks to this:

Off the dome

A few years back some dork and his now ex bff have been spamming social media with their "rap battles" to draw attention. They later ended up dissin each other for real, but that's not why I'm writing this article. Besides both of them using lame rhymes, the dork in question started bragging he's R.R. et A.C., aka the Inner Order of the Golden Dawn.

Now, I've been told by people in the know and who have followed the original Golden Dawn tradition for a considerable time, you never ever speak publically about these things!  Otherwise you're no better than some Impotentor AO who does onlyfans imitations with his mummified wife on their site, not to mention his pathetic flock of griffinoids. 

Mr Farrell has addressed this in his latest interview.

Speaking of the now venerable gentleman who's recently reached the wise age of infinity, I told him I bet he could easily pull some spectacular meaningful rhymes if he wanted to. And whaddya know, he has!

Romanian charm for snake bite

I already talked about hags who used to be called on in various cases to provide paranormal aid. The following article by At. M. Marienescu is from an old Romanian newspaper, Family, dated 1870. 

"The hag lights frankincense and fumigates the wound. Then, holding a brass knife backwards in her right hand, she mimics stabbing something behind her while speaking the charm.

Many charms are used in conjunction with various 'medicines,' that are hardly shared with others, otherwise the hag risks losing her profession, thus her income. Elena Andreiu from Roman Oravița, who dictated the following to me, cures in this manner:

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.

1 follower!

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).

Patience required

Things ahead look ok in terms of planetary elections, depending on the planets you want to work with. While in the case of one planet people should rush to make the best of it, most others require patience before we would be able to benefit from their increased strength.

The Sun is traveling through Cancer where it has no dignity. Best wait a few more weeks for it to enter Leo and benefit from domicile and triplicity.

The Moon is waxing and about to enter Virgo where it is dignified by triplicity. Unfortunately this waxing phase takes it through falling falling Scorpio, culminating with its fullness in exile in. Capricorn.

Life ruining curse effects example

What follows is the case of someone who was struck with one of my life ruining curses. Like all curses this course covers, it has hit the target and will continue to do so until he passes away. There may be times the will appear to have moved past the effects of the curse, but further hits at various time intervals will continue to pile up on the initial damage.

The curse hit the target some seventeen months ago just as the person hooked up with someone. The curse quickly escalated their relationship to the point they they conceived a child. They also moved in together somewhere with an expensive rent and he burned the bridges with his family, who had been supporting him financially and allowing him to stay in with them well past his teens.

Coincidence?

It recently came to me it often happened that whenever I had something pressing to address magically, I was contacted by people who sought my magical help for similar issues.

For instance, when I was casting for money, someone buzzed me for financial matters. When I was busy cursing someone, a client wanted me to curse someone else on their behalf. The same with amorous stuff, etc.

Is it a coincidence? I think not, despite magical acts often manifesting as apparent coincidences. But this is not a magical act. Instead, it's more of a like attracts like kind of thing, where it seems I'm attracting clientele with issues similar to my own.

Fatality

As a final conclusion to the Mars talisman for protection, the man who threatened the woman for whom the talisman was made died a few months ago. The woman was notified by another who recently got in touch with the man's relatives.

So that's that...

Eucharist powers

Easter here has the longest preparatory fasting period in the entire religious calendar. It is also the most severe. The reasons behind this should be obvious, those who stick to the practice cleanse themselves more thoroughly, becoming more susceptible of sensing and experiencing the miracle of Easter. I talk about this kind of cleansing in the Angels of the Birth Chart report.

At any rate, the eucharistic is (usually) part of the experience of the the miracle of Easter. It should be the final step leading towards the ideal occurrence of taking part in the cosmic spiritual resurrection. There's a lot to talk about in regards to the mysteries of Easter, but that's not the subject of this article. Instead, I will talk about the eucharist and my experience with encountering its great power. For this a story is needed.

I'm not the kind to shy away from cursing whenever the situation calls for it. While I don't throw curses left and right just because I can and am generally better at it than your average occultist, I usually go out of my way to punish those who've wronged me and the few I care about, especially when the people doing the wronging feel entitled to do so (and I've come across more than a few of these so far).

Algorab election

Algorab is curently at 13°47' Libra. According to Agrippa, for this star "…they made the image of a Raven, or Snake, or of a Black Man cloathed in black; this maketh a man cholerick, bold, courageous, full of thoughts, a backbiter, and causeth naughty dreams; also it giveth the power of driving away evil spirits, and of gathering them together; it is profitable against the malice of Men, Devils and Winds."

I happened to come by this amazing election by chance while searching for other auspicious times for my long term planning. Algorab is rising, with the waxing Moon "right on top of it" while separating from a square with a beautifully placed Jupiter.

If you're from my neck of the woods and want to give it a shot, knock yourself out!

Selling book

SOLD

I'm selling The Sun of Knowledge for $45 USD (plus shipping). For people in Romania the price is 200 RON since the price online here can go as high as $100.

The book is in pristine condition, having spent most of its time in my possession on an enclosed bookshelf. I'll share more photos if asked.

Payment through PayPal, Revolut, bank transfer (or cash in case of meeting locally at a predetermined place and time).

Contact me at alex.scaraoschi@gmail.com if you're interested.

Procyon election

Procyon is currently at 26°08' Cancer. This fixed star "gives grace before God and man, renders a man pleasing to the spirits of the Air, gives great power against magic and preserves health."

Thusly, fashioning a Procyon talisman at an auspicious time would benefit one for the long run, provided the timing is good. Also, it would be best to make the talisman for just one purpose, instead of charging it for everything its good for (as some do, which makes me wonder how they apparently work so well provided the its energies have to split into multiple ways to achieve multiple goals). 

At any rate, we see Procyon rising with the waxing Moon applying to a partile conjunction to it. The Moon is separating from a square with Venus and applying to a sextile with Uranus. 

For working with fixed stars you can check out my class that will also help you come up with good elections. Otherwise, contact me for an election in case you're willing to work with the stars, but like me you hate to have to learn from classes, hehe.

Words in bookstore

Magic Words is now in Treadwell's, London. Mr Farrell was approached by the people there recently and now you can find a number of my book's copies in their store.

Make Arcania Gramaye Again

Jesus kicking arse

I'm deliberately posting this article on a Tuesday in the hour of Mars, just so those in question know I mean business (and because they only know how to pray to planets by rubbing candles only in the appropriate day and hour as magical service to clients).

Ever since I began practicing the occult ten year ago I noticed many preeminent figures in this field are more preoccupied with their virtue signaling agendas than teaching those willing to embrace and make use of their accumulated knowledge and expertise. While it's understandable such figures want to increase their income by accessing an extra source of cash in this field, many have degraded to the level of the temple moneychangers Jesus so diligently drove out of the temple. In short, the occult is full of pansies who make use of their status built upon some age old material they've authored for a quick cash grab.

Sun purging election

Solar forces are highly capable of successfully performing more than a few tasks, one of them being purging. A place full of bad vibes or all sorts of spiritual nastiness could benefit from a good solar purging, as well as a person who is jinxed or goes through a lengthy unpleasant period, usually experiencing low energies such as feeling jaded.

The following election considers a waning lunar phase to assist in getting rid of whatever needs to be discarded. The timing was a bit tricky to come across due to Mars' slow movement towards the next sign, following its recent retrograde. Had I chose the election at sunrise, the Sun would've been directly square Mars. When culminating, the square is merely out-of-sign.

The Sun is exalted and in triplicity, the Moon applying to a trine to it while separating from square.

Pisces rules feet

In this article on melothesia I'll present a successful experiment I performed at the start of the current year. This time, instead of making an elixir and giving it to the one in need, I sent the spirit directly to the person to do the job.

The subject is a male who's been experiencing swollen feet for the last several years. The causes were not some some form of illness but things like diet and lack of physical exercise. Nevertheless, the man continued having swollen feet even after he made a drastic change in diet and routine to the point he found it cumbersome to walk.

Double trouble

Good ol' book writing obsessed Mr Farrell recently published his billionth book, Why Magic Fails. I wrote an example on that to accompany his book's arrival on the occult scene. 

I realized early on, ever since I heard of the future book title it would fit very well as a companion to my Words. The two complement each other nicely. My book debunks nonsense spread by self-important whatnots who project an image of knowledgeable gatekeepers onto others, while at the same time explains how magix works (including a breakdown on offerings and their role). His book addresses dimwitted nonsense loudmouth wannabes spread around, often through their dim minded followers, among other things. It does seo from a variety of angles, pointing out many possible causes for magical failure.

Both are published through Lord Manticore at accessible prices.

Lucky and unlucky days and hours

Ancient Egyptian division of a month into days and of days into three periods. The periods were then labeled either good or bad, with the symbol resembling an arrow pointing upwards making good periods and that resembling a flaming torch making the bad ones.

Amulets and Superstitious by Sir E. A. Wallis Budge is an interesting theoretical source detailing ancient talismans from different cultures. Unfortunately, no magical application for this data is shared with respect to ancient magical trinkets, it being solely detailed for academic purposes. 

Even so, the following information may be used in tandem with that on days and hours from Asteria, even for experimental purposes. It consists of days and hours considered lucky or unlucky in the past. They can be taken into account when planning a ritual, based on the intent.

Pain removal technique

I recently met a most dazzling lady. While our subjects of discussion centered around other matters, we also had a lengthy conversation surrounding the occult. Even though she's a globetrotter and a constant attendee at red carpet events she is also involved in the more fantastic side of life, so to speak. All armchair occultists out there should take note that if someone who's constantly on the go and with a schedule as busy as the world's biggest airports' can take their time for occult practice, anyone can.

Anyway, this charming lady is also a teacher. Besides the usual school curriculum she has her students perform certain exercises involving visualization, the kind of stuff magicians often do. For example, she told me of a simple cleansing exercise where the kids would visualize brilliant light flowing down onto them from above, going through their bodies and clearing out all nastiness that would flow through imagined roots all the way to a crystal at the center of the Earth. Then beneficial energies would rise from that crystal through the roots and filling their bodies.

Being taught magical techniques at school is cool af and I think this should become the norm!
