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).

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!

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:

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:

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Demon duo

"Pop quiz, hotshot. Venus is in exile and going retro, but you want to make your hot neighbor fall for you. What do you do? What do you do?"

With the Venus post-retro article out of the way tis a good time to document the following.

I've seen desperate people buying Venus talismans made by wannabes when the planet was in exile only for things to blow up in their face. I've talked about it more than once. Same goes for paying someone to cast a Venus ritual for them when the planet is very weak and I've tested it for myself several times - the results can be tremendously overwhelming, the wrong way.

I've had success for beneficial purposes with Venus in Scorpio, but that ritual was specifically tailored for someone working in the sex industry. Even so, I had to select a very precise timing otherwise things might have gone tits up.

What do you do?

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.

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.

Fizzling out

More than a few times I've addressed the issue of spells eventually fizzling out, compared to talismans that are ongoing (or at least until they're decommissioned or destroyed). I also spoke of magical results not being permanent.

The two phenomena work hand in hand in my opinion, especially when the desired result has manifested. When that happens it means the energy set into motion by the ritual has grounded itself, bringing the desired outcome into the mundane. It has done so by navigating through obstacles, even smashing though some, the effects of which weakening it. I elaborate on the nature of he obstacles in Words.

Even weaker, it was still able to make things happen, something that drained it even further.  Then, after materializing, whatever punch in may still have will disperse either suddenly or gradually. Goal manifested, success achieved, moving on.

Too dumb to woowoo

"The fool is not fool enough until he's also priggish" is an old Romanian saying.

Idk why dafuq I'm even bothering writing articles now that one of the pillars holding up the WMT has transcended beyond. But since my struggle in this lifetime is to make sense of mundane experiences from a certain point of view and master them, I'll move on (even reluctantly, and do my best to be my usual self).

Now that the whole US election thing is behind us, it seems like a good idea to bring to the forefront the most stupidest magical feat I've ever come across during my ten years of occult practice. I've seen a lot of dumb shit over time, but this must be the stupidest since it was the the sensational feat of one who expects to be considered an expert in more than one occult field. The individual in question has been involved in the occult for many more years than myself, which makes this even more laughable.

The day following the election a screenshot of a certain fb post was brought to my attention. Said post contained an individual's hopes for the upcoming election results. Since Nov 5 was on a Tuesday, and probably keeping in line with his own age old tradition of making offerings under Christmas lights to the appropriate planetary force of the day, the man also implied he'd rub a candle out to Mars for victory for his favorite candidate. I also think this falls in line with his usual virtue signaling and attention begging.
