Mars talismans for protection

I made only two Mars talismans for protection. The reason for this is that I have not found other crystals in the shop suitable to be used as talisman basis. Yes, I personally go to the crystal shop and carefully study crystals before purchasing, instead of ordering online. The reason for this is I want to make sure they are of a size suitable for inscribing, they are as smooth as possible and that they have little to no internal cracks that may cause break when inscribed or carried about. 

Following 777, I used ruby crystals. Each crystal was inscribed with the astrological glyph of Mars alongside the divine name Adonai (Aleph-Daleth-Nun-Yod), as per good ol' Cornelius' as well as Uncle Al's works.

Prices: 

$180 + shipping / talisman

$350 + shipping / 2 talismans 

Each talisman will be accompanied by a presentation and instructions of use. The prices are higher in this case because ruby crystals are more expensive, even in their rough form.

Better luck next time

Venus has just been cazimi in Capricorn last Tuesday while Mars is currently cazimi in the same sign. Funny, this year each of the two experiences cazimi in the other's day and very close together. It would have been an amazing opportunity for performing rituals involving the two planets, not to mention making Venusian and Martian talismans. Unfortunately, several factors made that opportunity turn sour, at least for me.

Firstly, Venus, Sun and Mars are all in Capricorn, the sign of Mars' exaltation, meaning both Venus and the Sun are being received by Mars. This would be welcomed since Mars is feeling great here, but it is combust during Venus cazimi and Venus-Sun conjunction also applies to conjunct Mars very closely. This gives a heightened note of volatility to an otherwise very pleasant event.

Saturn&Mars Patreon course

I have published my first Patreon course.

It addresses Saturn and Mars transits through natal astrological houses. More precisely, it focuses on guiding people to perform magical rituals for empowering protection talismans that would aid them against probable unpleasantness these transits can produce. While the course deals with transits through houses alone, not with interactions between transiting Saturn and Mars and natal planets, keep in mind simple transits through houses can prove problematic.

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.

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.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

Ominous Christmas astro forecast

The chart is set for my location at noon sharp, but take heed of this aspect even if you're living further to the west or east. Moon in Scorpio is not such a pleasant time for a holiday. I imagine families getting together in larger or smaller numbers and instead of enjoying themselves, they may end up remembering old grudges and settling old scores.

Additionally, this Christmas will bless us with a not so beautiful Moon square Mars retro. Mars in Leo can be tyrant or at least extremely bossy and the fact it's retro will probably cause people to boil with rage. They will probably release that rage in the form of venomous stings toward others so you can imagine this isn't the best setting for a holiday gathering. I wouldn't exclude termpers to flair as well, but I suspect the former scenario is more likely to play out. Nevertheless, do be careful and try drinking yourself to sleep instead of into a fight (like someone I know).

To complicate matters even more, the Moon's transit through Scorpio begins with a harsh square with Pluto. This should cast an underlying uneasy feeling of compulsiveness over people, somethig totally not good to begin the festivities with.

The aspect will be exact around late afternoon, early evening my time, just when people are usually in the midst of thir Christmas dinner, hence why I've chosen this timezone for the chart. But be aware of it regardless of timezone, especially if you start partying early on or party well into the night.

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.

Open for elections

Jupiter exalted and culminating, waxing Moon applying to trine

I've been thinking about this for a while now and so far I avoided coming forth with it because I felt my often busy schedule will distract me from the task. But I've made up my mind and decided to go through with it.

I'm open to calculate astrological elections for magical use for the following forces:

1. Zodiac signs

2. Zodiac decans 

3. Fixed stars 

4. Planets

5. Elements

6. Lunar mansions

7. Shem angels - will need to provide me with the half-decan to which the angel corresponds based on the attribution you're using.

Mars the protector

Some time ago I took advantage of a good Martian election and made a few Mars talismans. The purpose was that each of the talismans would protect its wearer against, aggression, violence, assault, etc. I then gave a talisman to each of the few muggle acquaintances I know who know what I'm into and agreed to wear those talismans on their person.

I know certain people would say Mars is solely good for attacking, but that's just narrow-mindedness. Being a god of war and fighting, among other things, Mars is good for both offence and defense since they're both aspects of fighting regardless of whether the fighting takes place between two people or very large groups of individuals. So take note, all ye self-proclaimed expects!

Anyhow, for some time nothing happened, which is good. I mean, if you're wearing a protection talisman and nothing bad happens to you in regards to being assaulted and such, you can consider it a coincidence. But I'm sure there are cases where you could've been lead down a path of circumstances that would've lead to you being physically attacked, yet wearing the talisman prevented you from going down that path to begin with.

Mars conjunct Saturn in Pisces

Recently I've been getting inquiries from people regarding Mars conjunct Saturn in Pisces. The exact conjunction will occur within a few days, on April 10 or 11 more exactly, depending on timezone. 

As we discussed in Asteria, the energy buildup will begin just as the two planets are in orb, meaning some days prior to their exact conjunction. They will reach their peak during the exact conjunction and the separating aspect will see the development of events that had been shapen by the energy buildup.

Casting in the past?

More than once have I come across people discussing the possibility of spells affecting past events. So far I don't think it's probable although at the same time I'm being open minded about it.

But at he same time I've come across scenarios where a certain situation required a certain spell and things started moving in the direction the person wanted even before they've done the spell. Then, once the spell was performed things started working even smoother for the person in regards to that scenario and its circumstances.

Quite recently I've been contacted by someone dear telling me their home had been under the influence of nefarious energies for a while. Things were off and odd and a particular object seemed to be the center of those energies. Since Mars was strong at the time, I quickly cooked up a simple but effective Martian working for the person and provided them with the exact ritual time that would increase its efficiency.

Mars the healer

Yes, I know! Mercury is well known for healing and the Sun is good for health! But why Mars?

Yes, I also know there's a Martian pentacle in the KoS that's said to be good for healing and I've used it quite successfully at times. Note that I've made it during an auspicious Martian election, not "in the planetary day and hour during a waxing lunar phase" (regardless of other, more important considerations).

But I'm not referring to that pentacle!

What I'm referring to is based on my lengthy experiments over a considerable time, some that had found their way into my late Mundane Body Magick, a book that will never see the light of day again because reasons. This is one of those experiments that have proven their success time and again, especially when performed during proper times. Now, I do realize emergencies can occur at times Mars is afflicted, but I've got a substitute force in those cases although I'm not going to address that now.

Meh astro forecast

The New Year begins with mixed planetary strengths. In fact, all but one of the seven classical planets is meh atm in terms of strength, to say the least.

A new lunation began today in Capricorn, the sign of the Moon's exile. It also squared the nodes so we should be in for a rather interesting fortnight. The Moon will increase until becoming Full in Leo (where it will square Jupiter).

Mercury has recently turned direct although it's still in exile in Sagittarius and slower than usual. Not a good idea to work with its forces until the planet at least passes its previous retrograde station point in Capricorn.

Venus election next month

As I stated in a previous article, Venus will be in Libra soon. As such, I've chosen the following election for the although I'm not saying it's the best one. I'm sure others will find better ones if they looked harder, but in my case in more than good enough.

At the selected time we see Venus in domicile, on the Ascendant, in sect, free from hard aspects. The waxing Moon in Aquarius, although in a loose separating square with Jupiter, is applying to a very tight trine with Venus. The trine aspect is partile and close to being exact.

Caution

Mars is currently in exile in Libra and thus it's very weak, but it's getting closer to becoming super strong in Scorpio. The downside is that it'll be combust for much of the time it'll spend in Scorpio. Therefore, despite the fact it'll greatly overpower the Sun, it's combustion will make its energies erratic. Just wanted to remind people of this in case anyone's thinking of contacting their personal pentacle maker (who in many cases has no clue of astrology) and asking for a Martian pentacle.

The good thing is Mars will be cazimi towards the end of Scorpio, which is a very good thing. One should take advantage of this (if their geographical location allows for Mars cazimi to be rising or culminating at the time).

Venus, however will be very strong in Libra at the time, this year unimpeded by combustion.
