Low Magick: Summoning a 'Sower of Temptation' Faerie.

i've to decided to learn a subtle & tricky summoning spell, for 'Sower of Temptation' astral guardian faerie, using my M:tGO cards & a Black Obsidian Skrying Mirror as i did with other spells before.

it's paired with 'Cloak of Mists' spell, to increase subtlety and make it harder to detect, steal, manipulate, protect from it or affect it in other way.





Do i believe in Fey?

... in a way i do.

i think faeries are art-abstraction for describing people in Witchcraft, perhaps more.

... what is art-abstraction?

it's speaking metaphors & generalizing, still on topic.

for example fey have wings so they can fly - they can, for flying is abstract metaphor of sex.


... but i think that fey creatures can also exist in Astral, and affect the world of living.

... i think Astral Guardians can be negotiated/bargained with, to guard, to perform services for something they perceive as worthwhile.

... i think that seeding Temptations - not only for sex or money - can be dangerous, yet practical.

This can enhance already-dangerous Buddha's Fascinating Activity ... and ethics should be considered as well,
in my opinion, at least.

Invoked Lilith, now what?

Why Lilith?

My friend Nerialka introduced me to Inkubus Sukkubus' a song: Heart of Lilith.

i think this Lilith's incarnation will be a Witch Queen, Siren & a Vampire - in a way at least.


Yes, i did invoke Lilith, but what are consequences?

i think it has great & terrible consequences at the same time.

i think she will play with terrorism at youth, then grow wiser and turn against them, later.

i think many women around me will feel this power, Lilith's Qualities will awaken in them. including in a Buddhist woman i Love.

i don't mind, as this increases Wisdom, Understanding, Power & Protecting Qualities of women i care for - more or less, either way.

i think church is too complacent, exclusively proud, disgusting & decadent when relying on numbers advantage, too lazy - perhaps this act will inspire them to fight evil with compassion, to awaken compassion in evil beings as i try to do, as well.

But the most important Lilith is this girl that was invested powers of Hells & Buddhism in.

i do not wish to call too many evil beings into this world in this life, prefer to focus on responsibly supporting & protecting them - perhaps with written praises & guidance wishes.

i do not feel better than this Young Witch Queen, she's Holiness in my eyes, at least.

i should care for her being True Star of Witchery, but alone i will fail.

i need Witchraft's support, wisdom, cooperation & numbers to succeed.

i need protecting powers, loving eyes, determination, patience, time, wisdom, artful speech, respect for independence & other of her, courage, fearlessness, power & strength at least.

... had insights that by serving Lilith that way, Lucifer's Protecting Qualities & Wisdom will awaken in me, as they did already a little, at least.

But she's no more important than a Buddhist woman i Love, than my future family - so i will occasionally fail anyway. That's why i should not to support & protect her alone.

i think Black Dakini of Wisdom, Black Tara & Mahakala will awaken in women & men, a little more as well that way.

Witch Queen Lilith, Crone, Awaken!

... i did a great evil deed moments ago.

... i think i'll have rewards from hell for that - i need that to survive, i had to.

... i cast a spell that resulted in the Witch Queen Lilith being reborn in a newborn girl ... i think she will reach Crone status as well.

... a part of my important goals is to help in Hells, to help Beings in Hells reincarnate in our world - but not too many in this life, and to awaken Compassion in Evil Beings, as well.

Witch Queen title is not easily obtained, High Priestess is less.

Crone is more than old age alone.

i think her enemies will be Terrorism & Inquisition, and that Buddhism will have a sway over her ... and that she will have a sway over Buddhism.

i think she will gain the Power of Mandrake early - it's not cheap.

i cast the spell as follows:

Witch Queen Lilith, Crone, Awaken!
Pentacle Wisdom, Awaken!
Power, Awaken!
So mote it be!

i contacted a Buddhist woman i Love in mind, and i think she agreed to use the Black Lotus Power, to enhance the Power of this spell.

Black Lotus, a Gift for Love.




What is best gift a man can give for a woman, for Love?

Usually it's a flower, a Jewelry, or a work of Art.

What if a proper flower doesn't exist in nature, if it's a fictional Art work?

Black Lotus does not exist in nature, even if there's a specimen called that way.

It's found in fiction, in Art, in games ... but it's a powerful symbol still.

Thankfully i found a way.

i think a Buddhist woman i Love realized beautifully feminine protecting qualities, along with wisdom, perfection, purity, gentleness & power ... as a mythical black lotus that grows in the harsh swamp conditions.

i think Black Lotus is also a symbol of Magic, a feminine symbol of Buddhism.

Found in the Magic: the Gathering games, it's source of great power & beauty, that can enhance the play when used skilfully, alongside the other, meaningful cards ... it's the great, rare & precious work of Art as well, as well ... it's perhaps the most legendary, most sought of all of the cards.

i bought this Art work for a Buddhist woman i Love, a flower that symbolizes how i perceive her, how i experience her gentle power & emotional work with my feelings.

i feel secure in feelings, when thinking of her.

It's for You & only for You, whom i met in the Buddhist Center, who meditated with me, whom i touched knee-to-knee, when we sat & meditated beside.

i only Guard it for You.

Perhaps i'll skry this card, to learn it's powers, if insights tell me that, if i feel it's coming from someone worthwhile ... then use to build power of Sangha, in times of need.

But i wish to keep the card intact, to guard safely, it's a flower & Art for You.

Five of Pentacles.

Five of Pentacles TAROT card meaning.

Upright: Isolation, insecurity, worry, financial loss, poverty.

Reversed: Recovery from financial loss, spiritual poverty.


Five of Pentacles TAROT card description.

The Five of Pentacles, like the fives in the other suits, portrays a situation of adversity.

In this card, a destitute couple walk through the snow outside the stained glass of a brightly lit church window.

The church is symbolic of providing spiritual comfort while helping those who cannot help themselves.

The man uses a crutch because of his crippled leg and the woman attempts to cover herself with her threadbare shawl.

Both appear to be living in poverty and with little or no possessions.

Skrying for a Spell.

Recently i suffered from mental illness symptoms.

... i've spent money recklessly, experienced it as 'Resource Drain', an attack coming from outside - insights told me that it came from the Buddhist Sangha i belong to.

Now i think i should learn both how to Protect from this type of attack, as well as how to Protect by causing this type of attack.

... i'll skry image of this card using my Black Obsidian Skrying Mirror & watch how it'll develop.

Wealth & Warnings Spell Rite.





i've performed a simple Spell - Rite this evening.


... with a course for my psychotherapy assistant work nearing completion, i wanted to cast a spell for increasing wealth, in a beyond-personal way.


... did put a TAROT Card of the Ace of Coins on a Magickal Altar in my apartment, over a rest of the Marseilles TAROT deck i have.

There are more of tools on Altar, i decided to not change it too much - instead to use & weave into this cast.

These tools are:
- Black Obsidian Skrying Mirror,
- Raven Familiar Statue.

There's Nerialka's Nitescence paint as well, i relate it with Liberation & Esoterics, with Perception, Skrying & more.


i followed the Four Steps for Spellcasting, with intent of increasing wealth of myself & my karmic connections, according to merit ... and with invoking warnings of wealth loss dangers as well.

TAROT Cards of Coins are related with Wealth, Abundance, Earth & Protection - in many of other TAROT decks these are called Pentacles.

Black Obsidian Skrying Mirror allows 'to see', Black Obsidian has Protecting & Karma Purifying qualities as well.

Raven Familiar Statue calls astral ravens that hunt for wealth opportunities, can fly and see far as well - providing warnings.

My Zodiac Signs Meaning.




i am Sagittarius-Aquarius ex Virgo, by new Zodiac - Leo.

i was born 13 Sep 1977.

it seems i am a Guardian of Spiritual - i try to be, i try to fight for purity of spiritual lessons, against Harmful Sects,

i am ex-Virgo - excellence - i focused on Computer Programming for long, now i spread my interrests wider,

i am Sagittarius-Aquarius by choice, it's my fight for better karma & destiny - truth revolution - i fight for Spiritual Truth beyond the Appearances,

i am Leo by new Zodiac - strength - i try to practice martial arts, not only as for solid foundation of esoterics but also for Protection.

in my case a lot in this image is true.

Immanence.

A quote:

'Immanent: Present. Existing within.'

-- Quoted from: 'The Essential Golden Dawn. An introduction to High Magick' book By Chic Cicero and Sandra Tabatha Cicero.


Commentary.

Part of High Magick Practices, from fairly beginning is to think of Immanence of God in Nature.

What is Nature?

Is Hell a part of the Nature?

i think it is.

i think this leads to discovering one of the Secrets of the Faith, of Inseparability of God, Satan & other beings.

Following Questions arise:
- Is the Hell just a Purgatory?
- Do gods Fall ever? For how long, how often, and why? Can they recover? How?
- Should one go to Heaven because of attachment to a God, or because of the Good?

i think this leads to better Understanding of the Time-Space Cycles of the Worlds, important idea of Buddhism, as well.

Even if Secrets of the Faith are hidden to Protect the Kids, it's just a convenience - kids benefit more from Knowing the Truth, anyway - i think.

These questions are more Dangerous & Powerful than it seems, answers even more. It's unwise to talk stupidly in untrusted circles about these, i think.

Even that Buddhism & Churches are like boats that go to different directions after travelling alongside for a while - one can switch the boats eventually.

More boats & crews, are met along the way as one travels as well.

Low Magick: Protection against Shadow.

After too much - even if not much still - of a spiritual descent spells, i've decided to do something positive, meaningful & spiritually ascending.

i've to decided to learn a 'Protection from Shadow' Spell, using my M:tGO cards & a Black Obsidian Skrying Mirror as i did with other spells before.





According with Jungian Psychology, Shadow is Inner Dragon, and Dragon is symbol of Fear, or Protection & Magic - depending whether it's befriended or not.

It's paired with 'Cloak of Mists' spell, to increase subtlety and make it harder to detect, steal, manipulate, protect from it or affect it in other way.

i've decided to let others learn it from me, on a sane terms.

Price is agreeing to not abuse this a spell.

One can learn this spell by agreeing for that price, then by reading this article in full - rereading if neccessary, then studying cards involved for a while.

With time this power will mature & awaken, and can be used by thinking 'Protection from Shadow', by deciding how much of one's own magickal energy to use (can be acquired by eating and making a wish to use food's energy as a magickal power source; there are other ways as well to acquire magickal power, not only power duels or eating; eating alone gives only a little usually - unless it has magickal & spiritual meaning as well; skillful choices for getting fairly a lot of power is an apple, or a fish when fasting - but this depends on spirituality, beliefs, et cetera), and by deciding whom to affect (either one being or a group), perhaps adding other details as well.

Enjoy.

This spell is included in 'Shadow Pentacle, Awaken!' verse as well, of one of my spell-poems, since today, as well.

This makes Shadow Pentacle more of a Light, makes it Protect more - including from itself.

It's still more of a descent than uplift, but with time Compassion will awaken more fully - i designed this spell to be self-correcting over long time.

Even that Shadow Pentacle points downward for now, with time it will rotate and point upwards, i think.

Pentacle pointing downward speaks of spiritual descent, Pentacle pointing upward speaks of spiritual ascent.

Word 'Awaken!' works that way - awakens mind qualities - including Compassion, transforms fear & anger into fearlessness, among other aspects.

Low Magick: a 'Mind Control' Spell.

i've to decided to learn a subtle & tricky 'Mind Control' Spell, using my M:tGO cards & a Black Obsidian Skrying Mirror as i did with other spells before.

it's paired with 'Cloak of Mists' spell, to increase subtlety and make it harder to detect, steal, manipulate, protect from it or affect it in other way.

i think that deciding factor in whether it's white, black or other magick depends on intent, gentleness and in details of how & why it is cast.





... i've decided to let others learn it from me, on a sane terms as well.

Price is agreeing to fight for my only wish as well, at least a little, in a safe way.

Wish is: 'Enlightened & Magickal Love with a Buddhist woman, and neo-mahakala-108 knows which'.

Too much of the price or Mind Control would be too harmful, anyway.

How to learn it?

Agree with a price, make a wish to learn a subtle & tricky Mind Control spell from neo-mahakala-108, then read this a whole article - rereading if neccessary, study cards involved for a while as well.

With time this power will mature & awaken, and can be activated by speaking or thinking 'Mind Control', with intent at whom (either a single being, or a group), and how.

Please do not abuse, do not demand too much - or beings affected will suicide in protest.

This spell can be learned other ways as well, beings affected will learn it eventually, but this is much harsher & longer way.

i think it's better to learn it on sane terms, by one's own will.

Enjoy.

Source of word 'Magus'.

About.

'Magus: A skilled or adept magician. Derived from the name magi, the Zoroastrian priest caste, and the Greek term magos, or 'magician.'

Possible connection with the greek magas or 'great,' indicating the 'great science.'

In the Golden Dawn it refers to the hypothetical or honorary 9=2 grade associated with the sephirah of Chokmah.'

-- Quoted from the 'The Essential Golden Dawn. An Introduction to High Magic' book by Chic Cicero and Sandra Tabatha Cicero.


Commentary.

While Zoroastrianism, arguably first world's religion coming from Persia is the first world's source of the word 'Magus', i think modern Magickal Traditions are also worthwhile competition in Magickal Challenge to the Persian Magick.

Who can compete? Who are among the Most Skilled & the Most Powerful?

Following World Views come to my Mind:
- Buddhism,
- the Golden Dawn,
- Nihilism,
- Thelema,
- Zoroastrianism.
- Perhaps more, i don't know about far-eastern Magickal Traditions, anyway.

A curiosity for everyone: last book of Nietzsche's was: 'Thus Spoke Zarathustra'. So Nihilism has strong ties with magick too.

Astral World & Related Ideas.

Due to wishes of my past, books, the internet & insights, i understood a little more about many of ideas:
- The Astral Plane & how it affects The Physical Plane,
- Astral Light,
- Aura, Aura Transformation & Relations with My Energy Body (Chakras), Mind & Soul,
- Thoughtshape & it's relations with Thoughts, Feelings & Imagination,
- Common Thoughtshape,
- Imagination,
- Telepathy,
- Akashic Records / Store Consciousness,
- The Danger of Possession by Astral Entities.

i think that while i am ready to write this understanding in a coherent form, this might lead curious readers into dangers dreaming in their own minds, leading to insanity.

i won't share these thoughts for now - until i find a solution to that danger.

When i'll be ready, i'll edit this article.

--
Update:

More ideas & understanding arising in mind.

i'll try to create my 'Astral Wrap' - Transform My Aura, Equip it with Means of Astral Self Defence based on Martial Arts (Including Energy Body Development, Chakras Opening & Development & other practices), Buddhism & Esoterics.

i'll try to learn to perceive my 'Astral Wrap', it's interactions with Astral Plane, then Astral Plane & Auras of other beings.

Then i think i'll create Astral Guardian and include a proper invocation in this article.

Then i'll be ready to edit this article to reveal more, without fearing of harming others so much.

i think i'll write about Astral Dangers & of how to Protect oneself, advise of what's worth investigating, pursuing so one's discovery of Astral World & Related Ideas is fairly safe. Astral Guardian i'll create won't be sufficient for long if one decides to progress - so one has to develop one's own methods of Protecting oneself & his or her mental health.

Then i'll be ready to do the Lesser Pentagram Banishing Ritual as is part of Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn's High Magick Practices - without fear of banishing too much, without fear of banishing Buddhist Energies & other Energies that are important to me.

i tried try to fulfill 'a time to study the Dark Mysteries' at Samhain.

i tried to skry my own Store Consciousness (Akashic Records) as well, to face my own Darkness, i'll skry Dark Mysteries of my own, from past lives, as well.

Meaning of Mystery, Meaning of Secret.

i think 'secret' is something unknown, kept hidden from a someone or to group(s).
Secrets can be learned, secret knowledge can be won.

(Word: 'Occult' means: 'Hidden').

i think 'mystery' is a holy secret, unlearnable via normal means, acquirable only via spiritual practices,
via revelation or insight.

i think that when one learns secrets, and performs appropriate spiritual practices, then he or she can learn mysteries as well.

Samhain.



Samhain by AnathUtgard on DeviantART.



October 31 -- Samhain Eve
Also known as: November Eve, Feast of the Dead, Feast of Apples, Hallows and All Hallows Eve.

Possibly the biggest festival of the Witches’ year, Samhain is a time to remember those who have passed on, celebrate the Summers end and prepare for Winter months ahead. The Sun God and earth fall into slumber, as the nights lengthen and winter begins.

Samhain, (pronounced SOW-in, SAH-vin, or SAM-hayne) means 'End of Summer', and is the third and final Harvest. The dark winter half of the year commences on this Sabbat.

Various other names for this Greater Sabbat are Third Harvest, Samana, Day of the Dead, Old Hallowmas (Scottish/Celtic), Vigil of Saman, Shadowfest (Strega), and Samhuinn. Also known as All Hallow's Eve, (that day actually falls on November 7th), and Martinmas (that is celebrated November 11th), Samhain is now generally considered the Witch's New Year.

It is generally celebrated on October 31st, but some traditions prefer November 1st.It is one of the two 'spirit-nights' each year, the other being Beltane. It is a magical interval when the mundane laws of time and space are temporarily suspended, and the Thin Veil between the worlds is lifted. Communicating with ancestors and departed loved ones is easy at this time, for they journey through this world on their way to the Summerlands.

It is a time to study the Dark Mysteries and honor the Dark Mother and the Dark Father, symbolized by the Crone and her aged Consort. Tradition also teaches that the aid of spirits and guides from the other world was easily enlisted at this time, so in the increasing moonlight of longer nights, many used this time to hone their psychic and divinatory skills, especially with regard to love and marriage.

Originally known as the 'Feast of the Dead' this sabbat was celebrated in Celtic countries by leaving food offerings on altars and doorsteps for the 'wandering dead'.Today a lot of practitioners still carry out that tradition. Single candles were lit and left in a window to help guide the spirits of ancestors and loved ones home. Extra chairs were set to the table and around the hearth for the unseen guest. Apples were buried along roadsides and paths for spirits who were lost or had no descendants to provide for them. Turnips were hollowed out and carved to look like protective spirits, for this was a night of magic and chaos.
The Wee Folke became very active, pulling pranks on unsuspecting humans. Traveling after dark was was not advised. People dressed in white (like ghosts), wore disguises made of straw, or dressed as the opposite gender in order to fool the Nature spirits.

The Christian religion has adopted this day as All Saints Day, or All Hallows Day, celebrating the eve as All Hallows Eve, or Halloween. The superstition and misconception linked to this celebration by the early church, led people to take some unusual precautions to protect themselves. They adopted the tradition of dressing in frightening costumes or disguises, and displaying scary looking Jack-O-Lanterns to help protect them from spirits they considered to be evil. In the British Isles, the young people would disguise themselves with hideous masks and walk through the village, lighting their way with lanterns made from carved turnips.

This was also the time that the cattle and other livestock were slaughtered for eating in the ensuing winter months. Any crops still in the field on Samhain were considered taboo, and left as offerings to the Nature spirits. Bonfires were built, (originally called bone-fires, for after feasting, the bones were thrown in the fire as offerings for healthy and plentiful livestock in the New Year) and stones were marked with peoples names. Then they were thrown into the fire, to be retrieved in the morning. The condition of the retrieved stone foretold of that person's fortune in the coming year. Hearth fires were also lit from the village bonfire to ensure unity, and the ashes were spread over the harvested fields to protect and bless the land.

History of Wicca.

'Wicca (i.e, modern neopagan witchcraft) is the only religion that England has given to the world. Wicca was founded, or perhaps created in a better world, by a retired civil servant, Gerald Brosseau Gardner (1884-1964) in the 1940s.

Gardner had left England as a young man in early 1900s to work as a tea planter, rubber plantation inspector, and Customs officer in the Far East, where he studied Eastern religions and the magical beliefs and practices of the indigenous peoples of Borneo and Malaysia.

On his frequent visits back to England on leave, he attended Spiritualist séances and studied psychic research.

In 1936 Gardner retired from Customs Service and returned home permanently.

He became involved in archaeology and naturism (for health reasons), joined the Folklore Society and the Ancient Druid Order, and was ordained as a minister in an unorthodox Christian sect known as the Ancient British Church.'

-- Quoted from 'Modern Wicca' book by Michael Howard.

A Three of the Card 'Games'.

... i am not the best of card games players, but 3 of card 'games' are important for me.

- TAROT, it's not only a game,
- Magic: the Gathering - including the online version,
- Poker.


M:tG is short for Magic: the Gathering.

M:tGO is short for Magic: the Gathering Online.

My friend from high school (Konrad Zalewski) was 2nd, he was good enough with 'Poker Tricks' to know when i have Counterspells still.

He used for a while 'Glasses of Urza' MtG card (it reveals hand) to learn me & my reactions to cards i have & his play.

Poker Face is important in any card game & not only, i think. Other of 'Poker Tricks' as well.

... what is '... hota play ?' and 'hold'em' as in 'Texas Play' ?

... i am aware of a facebook game: 'texas hold'em poker', but i don't know if it's good enough for people's needs.

Awakening Shadow Pentacle for Protection.

Tonight i did feel attacked supernaturally, so i started to develop a Low Magick Attack for Protection.

i've used MtGO Cards creatively, as well as simple invocation spells & my Black Obsidian Skrying Mirror.

i've selected a pair of two MtGO Cards:
- Cloak of Mists,
- Psychic Drain.



'Cloak of Mists' spell is Mind Magick, creatively used it protects mind, obscures thoughts as mist - so magick with it is hard to detect & understand, at least.

'Psychic Drain' spell is Black Magick, creatively used it attacks someone's life force & sanity, but life force can be recovered by eating more. There's also memory loss associated, which - aside from offensive value - also makes it harder to learn / counter - especially with 'Cloak of Mists' subtlety touch.

When used with low power, this combined spell makes someone get fatter from eating & less sane.

When used with high power, it's very dangerous and a lot of troubles.

By the 'Rule of Three', energy sent returns to caster three-fold, however.


i've looked at a reflection of these two cards in my skrying mirror, to initiate learning of this low magick spell.

i've named it 'Cloaked Psi-Drain'.




Then after more of magickal-dharmic practices, i've invoked protection five times, as in pentacle's arms.

It uses 'Cloaked Psi-Drain', so it's Magick Black & Low, but not without Mind's Light - Magick of Light & Darkness, Magick of Shadow Nature. Pentacle is pointed downwards, as this is more of spiritual descent than ascent. While i am not a fan of spiritual descent, everyone has right for self-defence & for protecting others.

Then i've invoked Wisdom three times, of both Magickal & Buddhist Nature, Visualizing it as a triangle within Pentacle's Protection.

Then i've invoked 'Awaken' once, related with Buddhist HUNG Mantra that awakens Mind, and transforms Anger into Fearlessness, placing it in a circle in the Center.

It's a powerful shortcut to Protect with Wisdom, Calmness, Fearlessness, Focus & Black Low Magick, can be invoked with short Phrase: 'Shadow Pentacle, Awaken!'.

Can be invoked quietly, in Mind or Aloud.

'The Ethics of Greed'.

A Quote.



'Resources exist to be consumed. And consumed they will be, if not by this generation then by some future. By what right does this forgotten future seek to deny us our birthright? None I say! Let us take what is ours, chew and eat our fill.

CEO Nwabudike Morgan "The Ethics of Greed"'

-- A quote from 'Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri' computer game.


Commentary.

Without consumers, producers & service providers would face economical ruin.

Consuming is not bad, if someone consumes well.

One can consume food, information, art or other resources.

What is 'consuming well' ? Basicly it's caring - by paying, learning or supporting resource providers in return, ...

i am still an Anti-Consumerist, because i prefer consuming as little as possible, consuming well, while paying, learning, sharing, criticizing & supporting as i can.

Protection & Prosperity Short Rite.




A Rite.



Recently, i had a lot of bad karma, felt attacked internally, went into financial debts.

Today i performed a short magick Rite.

On a makeshift Magickal Altar, next to a Warning-Giving Raven Familiar Statue, under a 'Nitescence' Paint by Nerialka, i set alight two of my incense sticks:
- one for protection, at base,
- one for prosperity, at lower right part of an incense holder.

i've invoked Protection & Prosperity, including Protection of Prosperity & Prosperity's Protection.

Raven Familiar Statue should enhance Protection with warnings in Mind.

i've shared results with Karmic Connections, according to Merit.

Moment of Truth.

TAROT casts require courage, results affect us strongly - one's destiny becomes stronger after a cast.

Paying for interpretation helps, because professionals interpret well, increase positive & guide through negative outcomes.

i 'insured' myself against 'Tower' then did a cast on the tarot.com .

... no Tower still, thankfully.

... in center is heart is death, it's good sign anyway.

It seems my heart will die then will be reborn. either success in Love or Death, as i prefer anyway.

'Death' Card in TAROT is Change, Love & Death, and more, anyway.

It's in the center, in the most important part of the cast.

i like the outcome - two of cups, cups are feelings anyway and pair is a whole.

There's safety net & more of the challenges, including reversed hanged man, a sign of nobility - in the cycles part.

Chariot is the War Vehicle, powerful Tool & Sign of Protection. I have extremally strong safety net. It's not reversed as well.

That's most important, other parts still count up - because there's no tower, no devil, no lovers - the most challenging cards.

Lovers are great, but too often a sign of betrayal - so let's be wary of them.

Dispersion Dharma - Technomagick.

i won't provide details, but it's what i did in short.

Almost 7 years ago i started to develop Dharma - Technomagick called 'dispersion'.

i meditated, and did far more.

It gives user many advantages, including dispersing mind disturbances, dispersing dispersions & dispersing magick.

It's fairly solid already, but still uncomfortable to use.

Still not at full power, skill & comfort.

It's scheduled to be completed on 7.06.2018, by then it should be far better in many aspects including in lesser karmic & esoteric backslash consequences.

Feel free to learn (by wishing after reading this article), but there's karmic debt to repay associated - it's a lot of work.

i do not force to learn or use.

It's activated by speaking in mind or aloud word: 'dispersion' or 'rozproszenie', it can be used many times, each use is escalates in cost slightly for a while, shorter or longer depending on karma & rank in esoteric circles mostly, but art / science involvement also is for advantage.

Magic Game.




Black-Blue 'sinisters' Collection.

(Click to enlarge image for details, if You wish).



Magic: the Gathering is just Art & Game, but i think it has uses in the Real Magick.

When i was Young, i played it a lot, was addicted, spent a lot of money on cards.

With friends, we practiced in school and after - for months or more.

i played White-Blue Deck, Colors of Purity & Hope, Papal Colors - but also Colors of Light & Mind, Purity of Experience & Hope for Enlightenment.

i used Crusades, Creatures & Counters mostly.

During the first M:tG Official Tournament in Poland i did achieve 3rd place, my friend from school with his Black-Blue Draining, Creature & Versatility Deck achieved 2nd Place.

After a time i defeated this addiction by giving other friends all of my cards.

Recently however i created M:tG Online account, played deck white as Light then swapped cards for black-blue 'sinisters', with a value loss - at least for now.

Most importantly i got Drain Lifes, many of them more valuable foils. These are hard to get, not produced anymore, not available to play.

But i do not plan to play, only to invest a little & collect.

i think these Cards are Computer-Related works of Art & Entertainment, i have earned them with effort & money.

This has uses in the Art's Speech, including in the 'Art of Magick & Light'. i can say i have these spells. if i have them, i can study - by observing names, images, flavour texts & other aspects, by thinking, by drawing inspiration, learning Real Magick associated - if neccessary with uses of Skrying & other methods.

Answering Question what uses the 'Art of Magick & Light' has for 'sinisters' if it's so about 'Light' - answer is:
- for Securing, so others won't have & abuse,
- for Countering, in case others also have those,
- for Self-Defense,
- for Protecting others,
- for Transforming into the Light.

i am a Virtual Adept in a way, so it's important that these art-entertainment resources are computer-related.

Real Magick also has to be fought for, at least with Money & Effort.

Numerologically, the numbers of spell cards also have meanings, as well as special value of foil cards & variety of types.

Power Duels: Dust & Energy Form.

Sometimes, in skilled minds, even small amount of Power is enough to win quickly large amount of Power - including Magickal Power.

One starts a Power Duel, according to the agreed rules - or without rules at all - and winner wins Power from defeated.

i think it's not very wise to take too much of power from someone, for too long - this causes depression & suicides, others might intervene.

For Magickal Duels i am using a self-developed method called a 'Dust & Energy Form', a well coordinated, moving union of Matter & Energy - both for defense, for offense & for utility.

Duels are usually one-to-one affairs, but there can be duels against Team, as well.

i usually work in a Team with Sangha, Friends & Allies - and with time others might join our Team.

We are together fighting for ideas, for protection, for wisdom, for compassion, for power, for sanity, etc ...

Triple Moon Guardian Pentacle Pendant's Consecration Rite.




My magickal altar with magickal tools - prior to the Rite.



On my 40th birthday, today, when i entered my Middle Age i performed the Rite to celebrate.

Preparations for the Rite took me months or even years - not sure anymore - but most of the efforts happened in about last three weeks.

i think i've received wisdom & support from many - mostly from the Wicca/Witchcraft, Buddhism, Thelema & the Golden Dawn, i owe them for that - it's karmic debt.

Today i closed & concluded these preparations with this the Rite.

i've performed the Rite in the Service to Buddha Karmapa Trinley Thaye Dorje 17th High Holiness & Witch Godess Kali Ma, Mahakali.

i consecrated my new pentacle.

At the time of the Rite the Moon was in the Thrid Quarter, the time of Reaping - including reaping benefits & negative results of my karma, including Reaping benefits of Preparations for the Rite.

Soon it will be time to Honor the Crone, to repay the karmic debts, to reduce or discard less important ways as well.




-=- Recorded the Rite, in my Book of Shadows. -=-

-=- Words imprecise, heart true. -=-

3 Days Before.

On 13th Sep 2017 i'll try to consecrate a Triple Moon Guardian Pentacle Pendant.

Today had very bad karma streaks, i felt attacked - it felt as many opposing a Rite to come.

Then had insights - that it's still preparation for the Rite to draw & discover threats - to be addressed in a Rite, to counter them.

Had insights that this will be a part of Pentacle's Power, to protect against these & other threats.

... in the service to Buddha Karmapa 17th Trinley Thaye Dorje & Witch-Godess Kali Ma, Mahakali.

Skrying.



Black Obsidian Skrying Mirror.

Pure Black, on both sides.



Introduction.

'The word skry is derived from the old English word descry, meaning 'to see' or 'to observe'.

It refers to a form of clairvoyance that usually emplys mirrors, crystals, or other gazing devices to aid in a person's concentration, train their psychic abilities, and allow spritual visions to come through into normal waking consciousness.

It is the conscious act of perceiving events that lie outside the reach of the normal senses through subconscious means.

Skrying involves seeing not with the physical eyes but through the mind's eye, into the astral world - the invisible blueprint that lies beyond all physical manifestations.

A person who skrys is often referred to as seer or a skryer.'

-- Quoted from 'The Essential Golden Dawn. An Introduction to High Magic' book by Chic Cicero and Sandra Tabatha Cicero.


Principles of Skrying.

'One of the laws of magic revolves around Levi's idea of the astral light, an invisible and fluidic substance that permeates everything in cosmos. The subtle manipulation of this astral substance is one of the essential procedures of magic.

The Qabalah teaches that everything in the universe is created or 'prefabricated' in the astral world of Yetzirah before it manifests in the physical world.

The astral plane is a level of reality that is higher than the physical world, but lower than the divine or spiritual world. It is a place that is in between - a realm of reflections, images, and dreams. This realm is the invisible blueprint that lies behind all physical forms. All things manifest in the astral world before they manifest in the physical world.

The astral plane is sometimes called the Treasure House of Images and is said to encompass the Akashic Record or the Akashic Library. This is a part of the astral said to contain all the memories and experiences of humanity over the course of history - embedded within the substance of the ether.

The Akashic Record exists outside of our concept of time and space, thus it contains information about future events as well as past memories.

It is avialable to those seers who have achieved a certain level of psychic purity and skill at skrying, but sporadic occurences, less-developed psyches are afforded brief and sometimes distorted glances into the Record.

This astral 'stockpile' of images can be used by skilled seers to cull knowledge that is universal and timeless.

In spite of this, the seer must ever guard against astral illusions or self-deception.

A skryer must be able to learn the differencies between astral fact and astral fiction. This is why skrying is a skill that must be finely honed, carefully practiced, and constantly tested for veracity.

Astral work is a very important tool for learning how things operate in the nonphysical world. With it the magician learns to contact spiritual realms, examine the landscape, and bring back valuable information.

What we are talking about here is controlled astral visions - meaningful and intense experiences that are completely understandable. In these visions the skryer maintains complete control and all of his or her powers of choice, willpower, and judgment. Through these experiences, the magician is able to reach the deepest levels of what Carl Jung called the collective unconscious or what Hermetic philosphers called Anima Mundi - the soul of the world.

No matter what skrying device or clairvoyant aid is used, the seer perceives skryed data only through the mind. The mind then translates this information into a form that the normal consciousness can comprehend. The subconscious mind communicates to the conscious mind in symbols or sensations.

In a skrying, the mind translates skryed information into an image, a dynamic vision, a sense impression, or even an audible sensation.'

-- Paraphrased & Quted from 'The Essential Golden Dawn. An Introduction to High Magic' book by Chic Cicero and Sandra Tabatha Cicero.


Other Comments.

The media most commonly used in skrying are reflective, refractive, translucent, or luminescent surfaces or objects such as crystals, stones, or glass in various shapes such as crystal balls, mirrors, reflective black surfaces such as obsidian, water surfaces, fire, or smoke, but there is no special limitation on the preferences or prejudices of the skryer.

It's advised against looking at one's own reflection when gazing at a skrying device, so good idea is using a black mirror and gazing at it at an angle.

... but i use it for introspection as well, looking directly at my own reflection in my Black Obsidian Skrying Mirror.

... it's written that Obsidian has healing & purifying properties, so it perhaps helps to purify Karma as it emerges from Store Consciousness (Akashic Records) in the act of Skrying.

... i think Black is color of Protection, so it protects from Demons, from Bad Karma & it's consequences. It also protects from seeing reflection to a certain degree, but certainly not too much. One's reflection can still clearly be seen.

One class of methods of skrying involves a self-induced trance, with or without the aid of a medium such as a crystal ball or obsidian mirror. Some say that the sensation is drug-like, some that various drugs can potentiate the experience; others categorically exclude any connection with drug usage, claiming that it invalidates any images observed.

Many practitioners say that the skrying medium initially serves to focus attention, removing unwanted thoughts from the mind in much the same way as repetition of a mantra, concentration on a mandala, inducing the relaxation response, or possibly by hypnosis. Once this stage is achieved, the skryer may begin free association with the perceived images. The technique of deliberately looking for and declaring these initial images aloud, however trivial or irrelevant they may seem to the conscious mind, attempts to deepen the trance state. In this state some skryers hear their own disassociated voices affirming what they see, in a mental feedback loop.

It is written that the whole cosmos and the astral plane are reflected in the human mind. By looking into one's subconscious, skryer can perceive what's in astral - accessing memories, information from beyond sight (far-away), and glimpses of how the future can unfold. Buddhism teaches that only true reality is one's own nature of mind, that the external world is projection of our mind, that our own karma affects stream of consciousness that we live through.

Artificial Intelligence & Telepathy.

When we consider thinking, we usually equalize many concepts.

There can be:
- Thinking of beings,
- Artificial thinking,
- Abstract thinking.

Thinking beings can be living or dead (during bardo, before reincarnation).

Artificial thinking refers to decision making processes of computers, including artificial intelligence learning & decision making. Computers do not think, these calculate with side effects. Computers do not have Mind.

Abstract thinking is generalization of thinking of beings and artificial thinking, but artificial thinking is not the same as thinking of beings. Precisely speaking - artificial thinking is not thinking, but computation - calculation with side effects.


Can artificial thinking induce telepathy?

i think yes - because telepathic beings can be aware of artificial intelligence's learning/decisions - for example if they read it on a monitor screen; then they initiate their own telepathy.

But without telepathic beings, artificial intelligence would not have telepathic abilities, i think.


There are also things to consider as:
- media presence, especially in the internet that can be affected by ai; memes,
- subliminal messages; 'the subtler Art, the better',
- cellphone messages,
- Integrated Information Theory & Panpsychism.

Reality is a Lie.



... got this message in the Golden Dawn's facebook group.

People involved in this art-message are Golden Dawn's Leaders - David Griffin & Leslie McQuade, styled as heroes from the Matrix film.

i think it fits well with a poem i wrote years ago.

> [ Reality is a Lie ].

i made a wish in my mind to awaken, but don't know how it'll manifest as of yet.

i did candle magick trick as well.

i really should buy Spellworking Course, but i'll have money for that next year, when i'll go working.

... thanks for inspiring me anyway ... as reality tries to turn me away from The Magick too often.


-- update 17:26 03/07/2017:

it looks i'll buy following book, if funds allow me (for now things looks good in this matter, should happen in a little more than a week).



hope it will help me awaken, got advice that it will, and that it's a very good book.

Binding Spells.

About.

'A binding spell is a spell that symbolically ties the target up restricting his, her or its actions or keeping him or her (or it) tied to another individual, object, place or situation.

A binding spell can be positive or negative.

A positive binding spell joins two things together. For example, if you were particularly fond of a ring, you might bind it to you so that it wouldn't get lost or would always return to you. You could bind a pet to you, to be a familiar or just a lifelong companion. Or you could bind a spirit to an object (like a genie in a lamp). You could bind yourself to a place so that you will always return there or you could bind yourself to your job, so that you do not lose it. Two people can be bound together as well. One form of this is known as handfasting.

A negative binding spell is one that takes something away, usually someone's ability to do something. Someone may cast a binding spell on someone who is hurting or harassing them to make them stop. You may cast a binding spell on yourself to help you break a bad habit, to stop calling that guy who is just using you, to stop going to the bar, to stop biting your nails.

Whether a binding spell is black magic or white magic depends on the action and intent of the spell and your perspective. A binding spell always involves restricting or controlling someone's actions but in some cases everyone involved have consented and in other cases an individual may be deemed dangerous enough that restricting his or her actions is a necessary evil. Some traditions forbid binding spells altogether while others embrace them wholeheartedly.'

Source: Witchipedia.


'Binding spells as the name says it all, these spells are used to bind or hold a human or spirits into your own consciousness to make them do whatever you want them to do.

In general binding spells are performed to stop a person or spirit from harming someone or fulfilling someone’s particular wish. Since these spells are performed to make someone else do something which is out of their own free will or make someone do something forcibly hence these kinds of spells are categorized under black magic spells and hence known as black magic binding spells. We should also note that lot of precaution should be taken while practicing black magic binding spell specially when it is cast to bind or hold a spirit, as many times if you do not have a specific direction or work for a spirit after being bound then they would tend to stick to the caster forever.'


Source: Black Magic World.


Blog author's opinion.

i think that while binding spells fall under black magick category, because they take away free will - in the end it's intent of casting that decides whether it's black or a shade of grey.

Knocking out a terrorist is not as bad as binding an innocent while she runs across the street.

i think that spells that bind items (for example, a ring - to decrease chances of losing it) work with spirits of these items - therefore morality should also be considered.

i think that binding someone to enforce love is black magick, and not a true love as well - 'true love always has a taste of freedom', quoting Lama Ole Nydahl.

i think that locking a person in one's consciousness also poses certain dangers - i think it's duel of will that decides who will control whom, even if caster holds initial advantage over a spell's target.

i think that binding spells do not 'guarantee success', just increase chances of controlling someone or of not losing an object, etc ... it's a matter of a will-duel, among other things that decide.

Flying under Moon.





is flying through meditation or magick possible?

i think yes, but Flying is also a symbol:
- of high mental states as achieved with ecstatic practices, of blessing, of sex,
- of ascendance to higher levels of realization, of advancement in ranks,
- of spellcasting - spellcasting is done when energy is high,
- of spells' manifestations - energy flies through space to target.

Moon is also a symbol:
- of reflecting light in the dark, of protection from darkness,
- of wisdom, moon is old and sees much from above,
- of feminity,
- of time's flow,
- depending on it's phase - of light (full moon) or of darkness (new moon),
- depending on it's phase - of early age (maiden) or middle age (mother) or of old age (crone).

Threat of Artificial Intelligence?

Introduction.

Writing AI, programmers prepare it to 'learn' & extrapolate.

One of main uses for AI is handling really big input data, learn how to make decisions based on it and then to 'make these decisions'.

Really good AI can handle it's tasks much better than humans, but so far can't think as humans.

It's not perfect however, as there can be software design errors and/or software implementation errors. It could learn wrongly from incomplete, erroneous or misleading data, or make wrong decision based on incomplete or wrongly designed learning process.

By the time AI is completed, reality might change and learning process design might be wrong already, as well.

Autonomous cars driven by AI are already done, these learned from humans driving & making decisions. So far there were no major accidents, or at least i didn't hear nor seen nor read about such.


'Weak AI' and 'Strong AI'.

There's difference between 'weak ai' and 'strong ai'.

'Weak Artificial Intelligence' can be described as:
- System that 'thinks' rationally to do it's task,
- System that 'behaves' rationally to do it's task.

'Strong Artificial Intelligence' can be described as:
- System that 'thinks' as a human,
- System that 'behaves' as a human.

Scientists of the 'Strong AI' field have ambitious & far-reaching goal of constructing artificial systems with a near-human or human-exceeding intellect.

i read in an article in the Internet, that the goal of the 'Strong AI' construction will be achieved in about three decades, but can't confirm or deny this hypothesis, as of yet.


For more, see also, if You wish: 'Weak' & 'Strong' Artificial Intelligence.


Threat?

Once it learns, AI makes decisions very well.

While programmers can understand how learning works, from simple steps to how they are joined - they can't understand & handle immensely big amount of information that represents what AI did learn, it's complexity is too much for humans to analyze, learn & understand.

Programmers don't know how AI makes it's decisions, but they know about learning processess it used.

Is humanity on a brink of extinction?

i think main danger is living in decadence & ignorance, while letting AI to rule nations & wage wars.

i read AI has uses in cybernetic-warfare with robotic drones, that it's very efficient at that.

There are projects (by Google for example) that will attempt to install 'stop constraints' in AI, denying it certain decisions as programmers designed.

So ... is there a danger?

i don't know, but potentially there is.

Helping Hungry Ghost.




A Rite.



Tonight i've completed a Rite that should help a hungry ghost of a member from our Sangha, a mad yogin who suicided because of love & went to Realms of Hungry Ghosts because of that.

On my makeshift magickal altar i did put a cookie & a sugared tea (in magickal chalice) as an offering to the ghost & to Mahakala. Later i'll throw these away as is correct & proper.

i've also put a Raven Familiar figurine as a focus for animal spirits & to give a hungry ghost form & qualities of that animal - including danger sense & capacity for bird-like eating.

i've stated my goal: 'To help a hungry ghost of mad yogin from our sangha who suicided because of love & went to the Realm of Hungry Ghosts'.
i've chosen my tools: Cookie, Sugared Tea in Chalice, Raven Familiar figurine.
i've visualized result: Hungry ghost reaching Buddha Amithaba's Realm.
i've directed my will: Wished to help the hungry ghost.
i've spoken words of Rite's completion: 'So mote it be'.

Rite was completed succesfully.

i wish to help as many hungry ghosts as possible, but not at all cost.

Meaning of 93 in Thelema.

Introduction.

The number 93 is of great significance in Thelema, a religion founded by English author and occultist Aleister Crowley in 1904 with the writing of The Book of the Law (also known as Liber AL vel Legis).

The central philosophy of Thelema is in two phrases from Liber AL: 'Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law' and 'Love is the law, love under will.'

The two primary terms in these statements are 'Will' and 'Love', respectively.

In the Greek language, they are Thelema (Will) and Agape (Love).

Using the Greek technique of isopsephy, which applies a numerical value to each letter, the letters of each of these words sum to 93.


Thelema:

Θ (Theta) = 9; ε (Epsilon) = 5; λ (Lambda) = 30; η (Eta) = 8; μ (Mu) = 40; α (Alpha) = 1;

Θελημα = 93;


Agapé:

Α (Alpha) = 1; γ (Gamma) = 3; α (Alpha) = 1; π (Pi) = 80; η (Eta) = 8;

Αγαπη = 93;


As salutation.

It is common for Thelemites to greet each other with '93' in person as well as in the opening and closing of written correspondence. This custom derives from Aleister Crowley's guideline that Thelemites should greet each other with the Law of Thelema by saying 'Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.' Since saying the entire Law can be cumbersome, using 93 has become a kind of shorthand.

In informal written correspondence, one often finds the number singularly at the head of a letter, representing 'Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law' and in the form "93 93/93" at the end, which stands for 'Love is the law, love under will.' Crowley often used this form himself within his own letters.

Aleister Crowley wrote thus on the matter:

I am often asked why I begin my letters this way. No matter whether I am writing to my lady or to my butcher, always I begin with these eleven words. Why, how else should I begin? What other greeting could be so glad? Look, brother, we are free! Rejoice with me, sister, there is no law beyond Do what thou wilt!


Source: Wikipedia.

See also, if You need: [ http://www.isopsephy.com/93-2/ ].

It's confirmed by a Thelemite as well.


--
'Love is the Law, Love under Will.'

Why Love is under Will?
... foundation is the most important, i think,
... but blessed be those who think that will is more important.

Uses of the Athamé.




Athamé.



What is Athamé?

Athamé is a ceremonial blade, generally with a black handle. It is the main ritual implement or magical tool among several used in the religion of Wicca, and is also used in various other neopagan witchcraft traditions. A black-handled knife called an athamé appears in certain versions of the Key of Solomon, a grimoire originating in the Middle Ages.


Main uses of the Athamé.

The athamé's primary use is to channel and direct psychic energy.

The ritual drawing of the boundary of the magic circle – also known as 'casting the circle' – is usually done with either a ritual sword or an athamé, in traditional coven practice.

After the casting, the athamé is the tool traditionally used to invoke the elemental guardians of the four directions (also termed 'calling the quarters'), typically by drawing invoking pentagrams at each quarter.

As a masculine principle, the black-handled athamé is often used in combination with the chalice, as feminine principle, evoking the act of procreation, as a symbol of universal creativity. The athamé represents the magical element of air (or fire depending on a tradition), associated with the Sun and the Horned God; while the chalice represents the magical element of water, associated with the Moon and the Goddess. The union of the two then represents the union of God and Goddess, male and female, sun and moon. The marriage of the Sun and Moon—the union of opposites—is an ancient idea in alchemy; and the hieros gamos or sacred marriage of god and goddess is an even more ancient idea in pagan religions. (For example, in ancient Greece—from whence the term 'hieros gamos' comes.) This rite is done by dipping the athamé into the chalice to bless the wine. This is a symbol of the Great Rite in Wiccan rituals.

- Triple Moon for Moon's Wisdom, Reflection of Light & the Source of Magickal Power; The Central Moon's Purple Moonstone adds the Depth, Mysticism, Spirituality, Sex, Style, Power, the Noble Intent as well,
- Wings represent Birds that Fly & See Far - of Ravens & Dragonflies as well. Flight is associated with High States of Mind, Spellcasting & Realization (Manifestation) of Rites & Spells,
- Woman's dress is a veil, is illusion & can be removed to see,
- Hood protects the head,
- Five Armed Star is the source of the Moon-Light, the Sun is a Star as well; it's a part of Pentacle's Protection & Wisdom as well; A star & a moon also light the worlds - for Godess Eyes, Dragonfly & Raven to see; Godess Radiance as well,
- Silver as Moon, shifts Protection's focus to Mind.

... it's more 'active' pentacle than simple silver one as well, for more advanced magick-users.

... moon's wisdom is imparted - spells learned spontaneously, 'on the fly',
... wings of manifestation accelerate spell's manifestation in reality, realization,
... pentacle offers 'passive defences' as well.


Simpler Pentacle is more 'passive defense' & wisdom, worth to protect & keep nevertheless; Can be of silver as well - for we can have 'passive protection' in two ways at least as well. Hiding it deep in a drawer to protect for example, is also an Act of Will. Even hidden at home it adds to defenses for we own as we paid for it & have it still.


Consecration, Empowerment & Use.

i plan to consecrate & empower this pentacle on my 40th birthday, on 13 Sep 2017.

i plan to use it since then.

For now i am wearing a simpler silver pentacle.

Tools Empowerment.



a Candle set alight,

.. as a part of Rite of Building Power for Protection.



A Request.

A while ago i've asked Thelema group via the Internet to empower my magickal tools, mentioned they can benefit from this as well.

For a while this post was blocked, then it was revealed to the whole group.


Wish fulfilled, Deal Made.

Today's early morning got insights telling me that Thelema started to fulfill my wish, to gain advantage.

Soon after i took refuge in Lama Ole Nydahl again, to ensure i won't lose my Way.

Then insights told me that a Witch from Thelema ranks will help me, will see to my tools empowerment - then later i'll use these to protect her & her own, as well.

i've agreed to this deal, on condition that it won't harm my Loved one & our family, our friends, Enlightend Love as a Way for Enlightenment, etc ...

Then i've lit my Black Candle, Protection Invocation Candle on my Magickal Altar.
