Hear ye, hear ye!

To all ye self-important whatnots who said you don't think the energies of the planets affect life on Earth:

That is from a free access copy of Liber Astronomiae. And here's my addition to the above:

Whenever you come across any alleged occult expert who's advertising his books and classes that deal with working with celestial spirits (even if they don't actually teach people how to conjure spirits, but instead talk about offerings and shit), but most importantly they're always trying to come across as authority figures in the field yet they're saying they don't believe the energies of the planets (heavens, in general) affect life on Earth, please bitch slap them with the link to this article. Thank you. That is all.

More frauds

I should be making a special label for this kind if article, but these people don't deserve to have one. Instead, I will be veering the article towards the goal behind this blog. But for starters let's see what it's all about.

Someone I know has been experiencing certain health issues for a while. He underwent several medical exams and yet the doctors couldn't find anything that would explain his symptoms. They gave him certain medicine to fight off the effects of the symptoms and that helps to a degree. However, the person is still feeling less well than he used to before his symptoms started to manifest.

Spica election

Next Thursday is a good time to make a Spica talisman. Spica is currently located at 24*08' Libra and is said to be good for acquiring riches and overcoming scarcity, contentions and mischief. 

I've discussed the subject of the fixed starts in detail in "Twinkle twinkle: Make your stars shine" in Asteria 2 and you can find more details on astrological requirements for such operations in there. As for the magical requirements, you can simply cast your circle at the appropriate time, make the image (draw or inscribe it on paper or metal or stone), ask Spica to consecrate it for your goal while passing it through incense smoke, then place it inside a satchel alongside appropriate herbs. Then you'd wear the satchel on you as much as possible. But then again you can simply carry the talisman on you and offer the herbs to Spica during the ritual.

Going supercelestial (ooooooooo)

Because us stupids can do magix too I went ahead and did a ritual with Sandalphon, one of those "supercelestial archangel beings" bitch groupies usually fap in awe to whenever they're being brought up in discussion. I used the same methods I shared in the tagged article. Nothing fancy, nothing out of this worldly. 

And as I expected, he came down from his beyond the firmament, supercelestial home to my call. Plain and simple. No ghostly apparitions, no smoke and mirrors, no "expert magicianist" bs. 

That is all.

Shem election?!

I've been thinking about elections for Shem angels for a few years now. Although I have no idea whether such a thing exists, especially since these angels are attributed differently depending on sources, I decided to use what grimoirists usually recommend people. Or at least what I imagine they recommend, since I've come across this recommendation only a few times so far.

As such, the following example is for Yeyayel who is attributed to 15*-20* Cancer as per Agrippa. His powers are: protects against storms and shipwrecks, dominates fortune in business, influences business trips. If you were to use the Golden Dawn system then I'm sure you'd find him elsewhere in the zodiac - see The Shem Grimoire.

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:
