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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Eclipse effects

You can find out more about this phenomenon in our article on eclipses as well as in Asteria 1, as well as in an article in Asteria 2.

On April 8 this year there was a total solar eclipse over North America. I remember telling Señor Shaman and Mr. Farrell at the time I foresee a tremendous change for the US for the long run. That change seems to have manifested with last month's elections, but I'm sure it had been brewing ever since the ominous event.

A solar eclipse is said to cause the death of kings, or at least their fall from power. In our day and age this would translate to people in power, such as presidents or prime ministers depending on the constitution. Suddenly, some time after the eclipse the president in office announced he would not run for the upcoming elections and instead his VP would run instead.

Hermetic Tablet 2024

After a lengthy hiatus Hermetic Tablet is back with more than a few authors having answered Mr. Farrell's call. This year's edition is filled with articles covering both practical and theoretical topics many interested and serious occultists will find helpful.

You can see from the table of contents many subjects have been addressed, from tantra to gamatria and from psychology to gamatria, these articles' applications can be manifold.

Hermetic Tablet once more

After some six years Mr. Farrell decided to release his Hermetic Tablet once more. This particular edition stands out because it also pays homage to the late Mike Magee and Jake Stratton-Kent, two people involved in specific occult fields well known for their knowledge of those particular areas.

Besides the articles written by the two occultists who now explore the vastness of the beyond, Mr. Farrell has gathered a plethora of authors to contribute to this year's edition. And then there's Señor Shaman and myself. Each author covers a different subject, from ancient magix to Kabbalah and from astrology to conjuring a demon, but the articles can be loosely grouped together in bunches by the occult areas whose different aspects each covers. Additionally, each author has an unique approach to the topic they're covering, unlike certain larger than life wannabes who regurgitated the same material as others in the past with the help of another's translation to come up with a book the length of one of these articles (or smaller) over the span of a few years (!!!).

The book will be published through Lord Manticore probably next week and I will post a detailed article to cover it when the time comes.

Checklist for Therapies and Styles of Magic

What follows is a translation of Señor Shaman's article I considered important to share.

"Checklist for Therapies and Styles of Magic

One of the significant challenges faced by someone learning Magic is assessing whether the system (or style, tradition, or technique) is good or not. This is equally true for any spiritual technique. The lack of experience or reference points in many schools makes it difficult to understand if something is truly of quality.
Additionally, for whatever reason, those who instruct or are defined as experts in these techniques often do not share critical information or directly evade questions on critical issues.

Multiple paths can be taken to evaluate the quality of a magical technique or school. For now, I will only consider three elements of consistency, namely:

•  Self-consistency or consistency with itself.

•  Consistency with natural laws.

•  Theory-practice consistency or alignment with promised results.

Be truthful to your woowoo person!

This past weekend I met a local woowooist for the second time in person. I had met Frater Iustin for the first time the previous weekend. Both times we've alcoholized ourselves a bit and talked a lot about woowoo, something I enjoyed a great deal since it's practically the first time I've been able to talk face to face with another practitioner. He's a great guy and I think you'll find his Resurse Hermetice blog very insightful when it comes to various occult themes, but you'd have to run a translation. You'll also find the link to the right of the page.

Among the many occult related topics we discussed, we found a lot to chat about in regards to magical services and anything related to them. We whole-heartedly agreed upon a mandatory condition customers must accept and comply to, namely telling the truth.

Workings of Boticario

My associates over at Boticario Mágico have their own magical products which can be found by accessing THIS LINK. It will be permanently available to the left of the page.

Inside you'll find an interesting and useful series of spiritual exercises, magical workings including a Mercury talisman ritual, as well as a free mini class.

Upon request from potential customers or those who have already bought one or more products, the material will be translated into English.

Basic necromancy class

Someone I know for a long time has launched a class on necromancy, The way to Hades: Basic pagan necromancy. For reasons having to do with their privacy, they've decided to publish it on my account. This class covers the basics in necromancy and hopefully the author will produce one containing more advanced techniques, since I'm sure the many years of experience under their belt easily allow it.

Nevertheless, this class should not be overlooked, especially by people unfamiliar to or new in this field. Moreover, there are very few sources covering this ground, let alone ones that go beyond generalities. While the class does present general notions, it does not linger over them and instead rapidly gets into the nitty-gritty of practical work.

Practice contains very important steps someone must go through in order to end up working with spirits of the dead. One must know that by following these steps they will not only end up benefitting from underworldly help, but they will do so in a safe manner. Besides gods and their minions, he or she will get to improve their life by working directly with both ancestors and spirits of other deceased people.

Helios rite

The following rite is aimed for bringing out the truth in a situation, but it can also be for clarity or enlightenment. Dispelling darkness or ignorance can also be the intents behind it and by darkness one can understand impurity and foul spirits as well.

Ritual requirements should be easily attained. Besides the altar lamp, a golden (or yellow) candle should be enough. The ever so pagan Mr. Farrell would tell you to write "Helios", your name (or that of the target) and intent on the candle and if I were to go witchy, I'd tell you to etch them vertically from top to bottom, then anoint the candle from top to bottom with sunflower oil. Anyway, some frankincense would also be nice. A photo of the god would make a good addition (in case a statue is unavailable). A golden or yellow altar cloth would be the icing on the cake for this simple arrangement.

If you're casting on another, have their link next to or underneath the colored candle.

Book review: Things my Hierophant should have told me

Pagan magician and occult book writer extraordinaire, Mr. Farrell, has dropped another title, this one being a much thicker version of a book he's written and published ages ago.

Things my Hierophant should have told me is a series of aphorism-like statements surrounding different topics beginners and even advanced occultists should be aware whenever encountering certain issues. The good thing is the author covers a wide variety of issues occultists may face, ranging from simpler to more complex.

One such important subject is occult groups and orders. Having a broad experience in working with various established groups over the eons covering his practice, Mr. Farrell details on how to recognize serious ones that focus on helping the individual, as well as the many red flags one must recognize in order to avoid toxic ones who's leaders merely seek wealth (and sex). Moreover, the book also covers the unofficial groups, cliques of people who outright scam others using outrageous claims.

Janus New Year ritual

The following is an adapted and simplified version of that owr very own magicked up pegan woowoo person, Mr. Farrell's Janus rite for the purpose of shedding past nastiness and invoking a bright future (although you can be specific on what you want in regards to the future you invoke). You'll need a black candle and a white one, a glass of wine, some bread, holy water and incense (the script calls for bay laurel).

One of the reason I've watered it down is the script calls for two participants. Another reason is it involves some specific Golden Dawn temple stuff. Anyway, here we go.

JANUS RITE

Put the black candle in the West. Then put the altar more towards the East, instead of right in the center of the circle, with the statue (or picture) of Janus with the offerings, incense, holy water and the white candle.

Perform your usual ritual opening.

Take the candles and write your name and the name Janus on both. 

Project all the thoughts and incidents you want left in the past into the black candle. You can do this by holding it and saying:

Spirit Pentagrams

In light of Mr. Farrell's recent article on Pentagrams a thought occurred to me. What if I employ the Spirit Pentagrams in my procedure of charging magical products?

What I mean is it occurred to me I could trace the Active Spirit Pentagram over the talisman or elixir during the process. I still consider whether it'd be better to trace it prior to or just after conjuring the spirit(s). This Pentagram would add a layer of raw spiritual force to the working.

Anuncio en linea

The guys over at Boticario Magico have produced an ad containing Asteria, Cielos, Chiron, Señor Shaman's book, their translation of Aradia into Español, along with their own zodiacal calendar.

Since I suck at html and the page coloring and formatting gets fucked up whenever I want to switch to adding html codes, I cannot actually put the video in this article. But you can watch it here.

Zodiacal calendar

The guys over at Boticario Magico have released a zodiacal calendar for 2023 (and will obviously release one for each year to come).

The calendar contains several important pieces of information, including lunar phases and Mercury retro periods. Moreover, it contains the sigils of the twelve zodiacal angels. Note the angel names are taken from the Magical Calendar, a renaissance source, as well as good ol' Cornelius Agrippa.
