Venus talisman experiment

Ok people, here's something from good ol' Cornelius Agrippa's Three Books of Occult Philosophy. In Book II, Chapter XXII the illustrious renaissance guy mentioned the use of planetary squares as talismans. This article will address this topic and expand a bit on it since our venerable predecessor mentioned astrological necessities when it comes to such talismans.

All seven classical planets are mentioned in that chapter alongside each of their respective square, how it should be done, what for and moreover, when. But for this experiment I will solely focus on the square of Venus. It should be noted I have yet to experiment with these talismans, but more than often I have found Agrippa's notes with respect to astrological needs regarding the powers of the talismans also apply in other kinds of planetary magical workings. 

Agrippa mentioned the following for Venus:

"The fifth table is of Venus, consisting of a square of seven drawn into it self, viz. of fourty nine numbers, whereof seven on each side and Diameter make 175. and the sum of all is 1225. And there are over it divine names with an Intelligency to good, and spirit to evil; And there is drawn out of it the Character of Venus, and the spirits thereof. This being engraven on a Silver plate, Venus being fortunate, procureth concord, endeth strife, procureth the love of women, conduceth to conception, is good against barreness, causeth ability for generation, dissolves enchantments, and causeth peace between man, and woman, and maketh all kind of Animals and Cattle fruitful; and being put into a Dove-house, causeth an increase of Pigeons. It conduceth to the cure of all melancholy distempers, and causeth joyfulness; and being carryed about travellers make them fortunate. But if it be formed upon Brass with an unfortunate Venus, it causeth contrary things to all that hath bin above said."

Venting outta boredom

This is a long overdue post and I apologize for not having done it back in the day. I see no reason why I wouldn't do it now so here we go.

There are people in the occult universe who, wanting to come across as whatever, stress upon certain things when it comes to preaching their alleged vast amount of knowledge to the masses. It's their business and I stopped caring about that. There are others still that take those preachings to heart and pass them on. While I see nothing wrong with this either, it kinda rubs me the wrong way to see people chewing the same things over and over again, things someone's spat into their mouth, and then spitting them into someone else's mouth. One such thing is about protocol and how it is by far the most important component of woowoo.

Protective hard transits?!

We wrote in Asteria about situations where certain hard transits over a natal chart can protect the native from curses. This happens despite such transits having the potential to increase the chances for the person to be cursed and even the damage done by the curse. 

I recently got an email from someone asking me more about that particular subject, the individual specifically asking me for an example. I knew I should've mentioned at least one in the book and it's my fault again for not having done so, just as it is for pretty much any errors inside. The truth we were in the final stages when we wrote that and by then our focus shifted towards making sure everything fitted well together and eliminate as many loose ends as possible. Nevertheless, I should've been more careful and prevent errors from occurring, as well as adding the necessary examples where required.

I alone have collected more than a few examples over time, prolly since I kept cursing people right and left so often, but I will resume to sharing only one. This example confirmed to me without any doubt that such occurrences are likely to take place and shredded all trace of doubt I had been having based on previous observations. The experience in question took place back when Saturn was transiting direct and at normal cruise speed though Capricorn, thus being very strong.  

Helping hand

Dear Show-offs, 

Having been blunt towards you and your ways with respect to talking out your asses and selling crap pentacles, I hereby take it upon myself to help you with them pesky astrological elections you're both ignorant of and all-out dismissing in the most shameless, pathetic way, even when faced with the reality of receiving awful feedback from people. This is not to be understood I think all your work is wack and produces no results or worse! I think you're simply conducting some of your work with extreme irresponsibility with respect to timing because the more the merrier. Because show me the money, right? So pay attention now.

I'm sure this is not the best election possible, but I've done it on the go on my phone by using a simple free astro site and a planetary hours one. So all you'd need to know is the essential dignities and make use of them as best as possible. Otherwise, buy an advanced software that'll calculate the best goddamn elections evah. But again, you'd have to wait for longer so b-bye money... 

Clash of the Show-offs

It has come to me there's somewhat of a verbal war going on in some occult regions of social media. These developments are of no surprise to me considering the fact I've been observing how things were playing out in the background, even as a simple bystander. At any rate, this could be seen as a follow-up to this article in which I talked about wannabes in the occult and their hypocrisy. I wasn't going to do a follow-up initially, but people prove to be as obvious as they are hypocrite so here we go. 

The dictionary defines hypocrisy as "the practice of claiming to have higher standards or more noble beliefs than is the case" and this can be extended into the realm of occult knowledge too. It seems that, because of the obvious reason almost no one is noticing, which is money, people start saying and claiming all sorts of stupid stuff. This ultimately applies to their occult services, because money. So people who have just began walking their occult path recently have found themselves in the midst of a Beavis and Butt-Head episode where people thrash one another with more or less help from others over something none of them knows anything about, or at least they know too little to start making pompous comments, let alone try to come out on top as being superior to the other. And this is where the hypocrisy lies. 

You see, in modern astrology there's a fictional point in the chart called Black Moon Lilith (BML). People usually call it the Black Moon or Lilith for short. It is not something classical or medieval astrologers would've studied because it was only "invented" some 103 years ago. But this is the mistake of people that stick to old dogmas make very often, that is to deny newer discoveries or at least to study any possible uses of such discoveries and see if they get to at least one conclusion that has a practical application. This happens in the occult as well and in many other areas of life, showing many people are still stuck in Saturn's limitations despite their alleged expertise in areas where they can understand Saturn much better and work with it.   

Space woowoo

Unlike many occult enthusiasts who're busy debating Key of Solomon pentacles inside out or making up theories based on their wild albeit admirable imagination, yours truly is focusing on something else. Besides seeking to come up with more and more new stuff that will ensure progress in this field and educating people to start doing magix in a simple yet efficient manner while overlooking the pompous but mostly useless teachings one often comes across, or at least trying to do that, I'm also thinking about what the future will bring in terms of opportunities. But with those opportunities come questions.

Do you know that NASA announced there's a possibility a human colony will be established on one of the moons of Saturn? Or was it Jupiter? I don't have the link and I can't remember the title of the article because it was shown to me by someone on the go this morning. Regardless of that, it seems space agencies are really thinking about colonizing our solar system. While that's no news since this thought was probably on people's minds since the first man traveled outside our atmosphere, it's kinda news because more options present themselves for possible colonization.

This means there's a probability a practicing occultist will end up on another celestial body by the end of this millennium. Many things can prevent this from ever happening, but I don't want to start going into those scenarios because it's beyond the point of this article. So for the sake of things let's imagine at least one occultist will get to travel to another planet or moon. Imagine what kind of spirits they can find there. Besides the few we know attributed to each planet surely there must be others we're not aware of. Wouldn't bit be cool to encounter at least some of them and work with them "more closely" so to speak?

Downward spiral

I don't put anything up for sale if I don't thoroughly test it on both myself and on others in addition to having at least another person trying out the method. In this post imma speak about another unfortunate victim of my life ruining curses. It's pointless to write down everything the did that's caused this upon themselves. It suffices to say they did many things to many people, things that would be considered awful in the eyes of many.

I started doing my thing on them this past spring. For some reason I could not hold myself back from doing more than I initially wanted so I kept doing it for the sport at some point. Or whenever I had no idea what to do for a ritual that day I did another something on then - my daily practice consists of practical rituals since summer 2017. The effects of the rituals were relatively instant in this case compared to the other one I've talked about before.
