Reality Aspects' Preconditions.
Introduction.
For as long as preconditions of a Reality Aspect(s) hold, that Aspect(s) of Reality exist.
When these preconditions cease to hold, that Aspect(s) of Reality cease to exist, unless there are other Reality Aspect's preconditions that act as 'replacements'.
Certain Aspects of Reality might also be preconditions of other Reality's Aspects, or might be preconditions of other Reality's Aspects' demise.
Yesod.
'Many Yesod correspondences reinforce this notion of a foundation, of something which lies behind, supports and gives shape to phenomenal reality'.
(...)
The idea of a foundation suggests that there is a substance which lies behind physical matter and 'in-forms it' or 'holds it together', something less structured, more plastic, more refined and rarified, and this 'fifth element' is often called aethyr, a form of spirit-energy.
Mage: The Ascension.
... there can be noticed, Hermetic influences, in this game.
A certain Magickal philosophy is a part of the design.
Reality Shaping in Mage: the Ascension.
Reality Shaping.
1. Spiritual Energy called here (& not only here) - Quintessence - is 'sourced' using the 'Prime Sphere', associated with 'Religious Faith',
2. Quintessence fills 'Patterns' (Forces, Life, Matter),
3. Quintessence in it's new form is focused in & affects the 'World of Spirit',
4. ... then Physical World's changes follow, Earth's Physical Reality is defined by 'World of Spirit'.
'Conception'.
... is the first step, when an idea is 'born' in Mind & when an 'act of will' is made to make it a part of Reality.
'Perception'.
... refers to a moment when it's done & noticeable in a 'Real World'.
... perhaps more.
Spiritual World.
There are many Spiritual Worlds.
By 'worlds', i understand something alike the 'world of ideas', associated with a certain mind-sets, perhaps more.
Spiritual Worlds are associated with Religions or other.
Spiritual Energies use many names, depending on what mind-set is associated with them.
Quintessence or AEther is Spiritual Energy of Classical World, having it's roots in Ancient Greece.
Akasa (or Akasha) is Spiritual Energy of the East, related with Buddhism, perhaps more.

A spell-cast form explained & done.
Spellcasting is a form of speech ... with Cosmos, with Mother Earth, with Living Beings as well.
... such speech can be Symbolic, can use tools to convey a message as well.
... this time i've used Athamé tool to direct energies of Wisdom, Compassion & Protection, symbolized by Buddhist books - to an Earth's Symbol, a wooden Pentacle-styled incense-burner for now.
Athamé is a tool of Air, associated with Emanation of Yesod, a 'Foundation' of Reality, keeping preconditions of it's Aspects.
Pentacle is a tool of Earth, associated with Emanation of Malkuth, a 'Kingdom', the Reality itself.
Spiritual energies of the upper parts of the 10 Sephiroth are channelled through Yesod to Malkuth, affecting the Reality as a result.
... it's Magick, it's speech, it's an 'Act of Will', it's something i will continue in future, if i can.
Yesod.
Foundation.
In the Qabalah, Yesod is the ninth of the ten Sephiroth on the 'Tree of Life'.
In Hebrew, Yesod means 'Foundation', and that is what Yesod is: it is the hidden infrastructure whereby the emanations from the remainder of the Tree are transmitted to the sephira Malkuth.
Many Yesod correspondences reinforce this notion of a foundation, of something which lies behind, supports and gives shape to phenomenal reality.
The magical image of Yesod is of 'a beautiful naked man, very strong'. The image which springs to mind is that of a man with the world resting on his shoulders, like one of the misrepresentations of the Titan Atlas (who actually held up the heavens, not the world).
Emanations Purified.
In the words of the Yetziratic Text, which says of the Ninth Path that it:
'Purifies the Emanations. It proves and corrects the designing of their representations, and disposes of the unity with which they are designed without diminution or division'.
This concept is further illuminated by the nature of the Spiritual Experience assigned to Yesod, which is described as 'the Vision of the Machinery of the Universe'.
Yesod & the Spiritual Substance.
'Yesod is the sphere of that peculiar substance, partaking of the nature of both mind and matter, which is called the Ether of the Wise, the Akasha, or the Astral Light, according to the terminology that is being used.
It is not the same as the ether of the physicists, which is the fire element of the Sphere of Malkuth; but is to that ether what that ether is to dense matter;
It is, in fact, the basis of the phenomena which the physicist attributes to his empirical ether.
The Ether of the Wise might, in fact, be called the root of the ether of physics'.
Precondition for Reality's Aspects.
The idea of a foundation suggests that there is a substance which lies behind physical matter and 'in-forms it' or 'holds it together', something less structured, more plastic, more refined and rarified, and this 'fifth element' is often called aethyr, a form of spirit-energy.
Many magicians, who, when asked how magic works, tend to think in terms of a medium which is directly receptive to the will, something which is plastic and can be shaped through concentration and imagination, and which transmits their artificially created forms into reality.
Eliphas Levi called this medium the 'Astral Light'.

A first Athamé Consecration attempt.
A Rite is complete, with a few of smaller of errors.
... it's not a fail, it's just imperfect.
had issues with focus:
- to be sure that parts of a Rite are done exactly three times,
- to be sure that a certain wording is exact.
a few of other minor issues as well:
- a way of placing & reaching for Athamé at beginning of a Rite ... so it's not behind me as i turn east first,
- a way of sprinkling water on a tool should be better.
... will this a Rite be repeated next new moon?
we shall see, perhaps it will.
... is my Athamé a Consecrated tool already, then?
yes, even if not perfectly.

Elements, Spirit, Akasha & Ether.
Elements.
in magic there are four basic elements (fire, water, air, and earth) which are regarded as realms, kingdoms, or divisions of nature.
they are the basic modes of existence and action, and the building blocks of everything in the universe.
Spirit.
a fifth element, spirit, is said to bind together and govern the lesser four.
Ether.
a western term for akasa or spirit.
Akasa (or Akasha).
it's derived from a Sanskrit word meaning 'to Shine'.
... among Buddhists at least, Light is associated with Spirituality.
... there's also Shine meditation, related with Mind's Calming & Mind's Observation activities mostly ... on that way, it's written, supernatural powers are discovered.
Subtle Differencies.
... let's notice that different words might have almost the same meanings, but they are useful mostly within their contexts, within groups of people associated with certain thinking patterns. there are many subtle differencies to observe & related philosophies that might vary very much.
Sources: The Golden Dawn Glossary, my own experiences.

Last of a Moon Lights', Preparing for Athamé Consecration.
... current moon is waning, under 20% full.
... new moon is time for new starts, then nurturing, full moon's completion, reaping & sharing, then a veneration of Old Crone's Wisdom occurs.
... it's when i should focus on learning Wisdom, both Magickal & Buddhism's, as well as a mundane wisdoms.
last parts of the moonlight is also a time for reading, studying, pondering, thinking & deciding which aspects of the Way are not so beneficial anymore to continue, to neglect in preparation for new ways.
first Athamé Consecration attempt will happen on a new moon, probably during night in a 1-2 days after tonight.
... if neccessary, more attempts will follow, purifying energies of imperfect consecration as well.
1-3 attempts per new new moon, in a lunar month's cycles.
