*Drum roll* PRESENTING:

☆ASTERIA☆

 

Almost six months ago I had the pleasure of receiving an email from the Southern Shaman, Andres Villavicencio. To me, he is a shaman with or without cultural appropriation and regardless of whether he likes it or not ;P so feel free to accuse me of cultural appropriation, even though chances are I know more about shamans that many occultists out there! Andres manages *El portal ocultista* and this *blog de la magia* (mostly in Spanish). After a few back and forth replies, Andres said to me he wanted to write a book on astrology and its magical applications, which to me seemed to be a fantastic topic so I encouraged him to do so. At first I though he wanted me to help out with a few tips, but no: he invited me to co-author it! It immediately sparked my interest since I quickly recognized the book's outstanding potential. Not only was it going to be one of a kind, but the level of details presented in it was going to be substantial from what I've ended up talking with Andres. 

The book consists of useful information that allows magicians to improve their magical workings. I felt honored by the invitation and we quickly started writing on the manuscript, hence *this* short article I posted some time afterwards and which does not reflect the intensity of my dedication to this project - I used to do research even while showering, for example. Thanks to Andres' ingenuity, we were able to make use of an online platform (Thank you, Sebastian!!!) I cannot talk about too much because of my ignorance when it comes to tech stuff. Nevertheless, this platform allowed both of us to make changes directly on the manuscript simultaneously, which in turn made our task easier. The platform's chat helped us keep track with each other's changes and allowed us to leave quick notes for the other as the work progressed. 

The best thing about this platform, to my mind, is the fact that it allowed quick and easy making of tables and graphics, which provide visual aid to the concepts presented within the book. Naturally, Andres was the one who created the graphics and tables, as I'm an imbecile by default when it comes to doing things that are new to me. All those codes gave me a constant headache\footnote{Much headache for me, them codes...}, as I constantly had to be careful not to delete any bit of them while I was going about doing my writing. I did my best to stay away from them in order not to fuck anything up. I did fuck up some codes a bunch of times and started to panic like a little girl, but Andres calmly fixed it, so I stuck to my writing for the most part. I eventually got the hang of it with Andres' help, this being more than enough proof even someone like me can do new things!

Pricing change

As of now the new price for my magical services is $75 USD per ritual. If you want Enochian, it's $100 USD per ritual. If you want an invoice for this service, it's an extra $15 USD. Payment through PayPal: alex.scaraoschi@gmail.com - divination is not my thing so make sure you do your due diligence in that area before or after you seek my ritual services, in case you want to.

Otherwise, go to the ritual links and classes to the left of the page and do it yourself.

Hate on, dum-dums!

The one and only

Pagan Saint!

Do overlook the cross in his hand, as my image editing skills are poor and I don't have time to add some pagan fetish instead. But the Roman armor makes up for it big time. 

Nick Farrell, ladies and gentlemen! He's a dear!

Hate on, dum-dums!

The stupidity is strong

For the love of Akephalos and his cousin, the Bornless One:

Don't do beneficial magix with a planet when it's peregrine AND combust at the same time! And don't waste your money paying some grand wizard (not even Grand Wizard Theodore!) to do it for you either!!! If they didn't deny your request explaining why they're doing so, but instead took your money... that says alot! Do what thou wilt though. Although...

Don't do what thou wilt if you can't handle it!

Hate on, dum-dums!

PS: happy new year, hopefully - probably brought to you by some obnoxious idiot who was tirelessly moving heaven and earth while so called authority figures were busy making use of their so called authority to order people what to do and what not to do...

Bummer

I recently got contacted by a person with whom I've collaborated in the past. I had to end the collaboration because the desired result of the person was getting more and more out of reach, so I had to admit failure. I was very confident things were going to succeed the way the person wanted until near the end when I began sensing there's something that alludes me that's preventing total success - there were some minor successes along the way, but what's the use of winning a few battles if you lose the war? I could not pinpoint the unknown factor in its entirety, so that's that.

This person contacted me for something else and besides doing whatever it is they asked of me, I also suggested they'd use a pentacle from the Key of Solomon they had acquired some time back from someone who is providing such magical services. The person told me they will not use the pentacle and the reasons why, to which I asked when it was made and consecrated.

The Great Conjunction - what about it?

I logged into fb a few days ago despite knowing very well it'll give me allergies. I only did so because I was at a small gathering and one of the gathering-ers insited they show me something, for which I had to log into fb... Sigh...

As soon as I logged in I almost drowned in the biblical-like flood of threads relating to the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction in Aquarius - the faster moving planet is always mentioned first, as it is the one applying to and separating from the aspect - on my wall. Amongst these threads there was one by a cute girl in an occult group which boasts on academic research into ye olde magical practices people nowadays know by a name alluding to the biblical king of the Israelites - no relation between the former and the latter.

Anyway, the cute girl in question asked if there's particular rituals that can be done based on the much talked about conjunction. Almost everyone there mentioned works of destruction. While I see no particular issue in this answer, the fact that it came from people who are considered to be the creme de la creme of the occult world, people who, on top of that, allegedly possess vast amounts of occult related knowledge, I find it hilarious. I also find it sad and pathetic at the same time. The reasons for which I find it as such are not important. What is important is the fact that a user (a cute girl, in this particular case) asked a very good question, to which she deserved much better answers than what a novice chaote could provide, especially from the likes of high level wizards.

Alas, tis true. Har!

 

One of my dearest readers has contacted me out of the blue last night telling me the above. I... remained speechless for some time after reading it, before I emailed him back thanking him. I also told him that people hate me, implying the reason why my book doesn't get attention. I mean, I don't expect people to like me and I don't care either way, but how can I not be hated when I write stuff like *this*? ;D

This goes to show my stuff is not just pretty words arranged in interesting ways. You hear that, Mr. Meanie person? You know who you are! (He's a Dear, but a meanie nonetheless!)

That, and I'm perfectly aware of the fact my stuff is meant for those who are meant to have it. The rest of them can keep on hating me and I will keep on not caring at all while feeding off of that hate. So,

Hate on, dum-dums!
