Mi Cielos

My copy of Cielos just arrived this afternoon, which makes Lulu shipping services much faster than stupid ass amazon. This happened despite the package being shipped from the US, so FU amazon!!! (I hate you as much as I hate disney!)

But anyway, besides the obvious delight in receiving this kind of shipping a week after ordering it, the layout of the book looks fantastic with respect to images and figures. While there's some minor, let's say glitches, when it comes to a few rows going out of margin, I blame it on the complexity of the software's codes. Otherwise they rendered the document superbly. More importantly, Señor Shaman's diagrams, seals and so on look marvelous (because he's an overleaf nerdy genius).

Another happy reader

I've received an email from one of my readers from in Rosario, Argentina. It seems Cielos is really picking up speed, something I've been somewhat expecting considering the hunger for practical occult material among native Spanish speaking occultists. The email had the following photo attached:

Dumb people can woowoo too, ya know

I! (me) am the perfect example anyone can do magix. Even more so, I'm the perfect example any idiot can write a magick book that works, which is why I ceased to be impressed by all them occult whatnots who wrote XYZ the moment I published The Magick of Astrorelationships. 

The point I'm making is if someone as dumb as myself could learn these things and put them to work successfully then I'm sure others can too, since I imagine they're not as stupid. And believe it or not, I used to be highly stupid when it came to understanding new concepts and applying them in practice. Still am on occasion. To quote Anakin Skywalker, "I'm a slow learner" and this applies both in terms of his humor, as well as in him resisting to learn things he didn't want to.

Trends and groupies

For a few years now I've been observing a trend emerging in certain occult social media environments. I quickly managed to trace it to certain "experts" who wanted to come across as powerful wizards, but who used this gimmick of starting trends to sell their books. 

 

The trend itself quickly spread among the intelligently blind, people who receive every such piece of information coming from alleged authority figures with great awe. They not only stuff their empty heads with it, but they also promote it to others as if it were gospel.

It consists of overusing the term "supercelestial" in conjunction with either "angel" or "archangel" to imply beings that must be beyond godhood or something, which no one can work with. Except for the "expert" who wrote the book, of course, who detailed all about the methods he used and his experience in there.

Let it rain!

Apparently the layout of this article looks like crap and idk why, irrespective of how much I keep changing settings. I mean I know why, but for some reason the stupid html won't allow me to change too many codes or delete any stupid codes that make this shitty thing happen - sorry!!!

I will start this article with part of local children's poem by George Coșbuc. Unfortunately, I'm not able to translate it properly into English because I'm not inclined to poetry and my vocabulary in both languages is poor, so bare with me:

"The rain is coming, I'm so glad!

I have a flower in my garden,

The rain will make it grow big

The rain is coming, I'm so glad!"

Make the best of it!

Couldn't find a more suggestive picture in a rush...

I'm writing this article as a recommendation for anyone who's working with planetary energies, irrespective whether they're self-proclaimed whatnots or scholars or whatever, or whether those people say such things don't matter. It is thought of as a stupid-friendly article every dumbass can understand. Its actual target is people with little to no astrological knowledge, so I'll be repeating some stuff I've been saying in other articles.

Since it's always better to be proactive instead of reactive in any area of life, I'm applying this concept in regards to magical work.

Educating people

For some time now I've devoted my time more towards educating people find their way through the twisted labyrinth that is the occult, a labyrinth full of traps and things that are too good to be true. This was in detriment to actually spreading free practical knowledge, but I consider it as beneficent as the former. Besides, I get a kick out of making fun of lame bitches, men and women included. 

Therefore, besides providing people with a straightforward method of conjuring spirits, Los cielos se abren seeks to help beginners recognize the malignant elements I've mentioned at the end of Asteria 2. Moreover, I recommend one is to avoid such cesspools and move along on their path. However, if you're like me, at least a bit, then you'll probably want to make fun of those people too, in which case I recommend you get Magic Words and see how magick works and what it's really about from a Western perspective. Once you become aware of these simple but important notions and concepts, it'll be easy for you to see through people's fake facades and easily figure out whether they're full of shit or not whenever they're making outrageous statements.
