Learning Magick's Basics - Magick, Teamwork & Telepathy.

... i've heard (or read, i don't remember exactly) that Magick has to be performed precisely & correctly, for errors have terrible consequences.

... how to start then?

Every beginner makes mistakes and errors, after all.


Answer is Teamwork.

... in a Team, beginner can experiment, can cast & learn more safely - as the Team corrects his/her errors and teaches.

... for a more, click: Magick: What It Is and How It Works.


Telepathy gift helps in Magick learning process a lot, as well.

With Telepathy, Magickal lessons & corrections can be applied at a distance, at convenient time for everyone.


What is Telepathy?

It's Mind's ability to share thoughts, to send and receive messages in Mind, at a Distance.

There are Telepathic Attacks too, and very many of other related abilities as well.


... how to learn Telepathy?

One can pray for it, cast, make a wish and/or meditate ...

Telepathy is not so easy gift however, a 'spam' of distracting thoughts can be annoying, can hurt.

Teamwork can go beyond the learning times, can still be useful even after one has learned basics.

Today i've received message in my mind from a friend (Karolina B.) - she asked me to burn a Protection Incense Stick for her.

... i didn't refuse her this time.


Mind Magick is called: 'Mentalism'.

Wooden Bowl for Offerings.

Today my wooden bowl (with pentagram) arrived.

It will be convenient tool for offerings - for celebrating Wicca/Witchcraft holidays, for Sabats & Esbats.

Idea is (borrowed from Buddhism) to offer Lights, Drinks, Food & Scent (incense and/or essential oils).

To those of Buddhism & Wicca/Witchcraft, Blessed Be!

Does God roll the Dice?

About.

... i think i've read that Random is Holy.

... i think that includes Random Shrines in some of computer games. For example: Diablo series, ADOM, probably many other games as well.


In a polish language, word 'los' means: Random, Destiny, Fate.

... i believe that Destiny & Fate are forms of Strong Karma.

Rolling dice is a form of generating pseudorandom numbers.

In a polish language, rolling dice is translated as 'losowanie', 'rzut kośćmi'.


Skillful Means.

Since dice are related with Randomness, Karma and all forms of Fate and Destiny, dice can be used as a symbol for changing someone's Strong Karma, someone's Destiny, someone's Fate - in any/all form(s) of these.

Don't get me wrong - changing Fate is not easy, requires Wisdom, Power and Effort. Skillful means as dice or other forms of random thing generation can make whole ordeal a lot easier and quicker.

Changing Destiny is somewhat easier than changing Fate, changing Karma is either easy or difficult - depending on how strong said Karma is.

... i think that changing someone's Fate should be done in small steps, to not anger Gods and believers.

... i think that - when changing someone's Fate - one should first destabilize Karma/Destiny/Fate/related then make a small change.

How to do this?

One can make a wish, pray or cast, and do other mental/spiritual practices, perhaps rolling dice in process as well.


Other Forms.

Not only dice can generate pseudorandom things.

TAROT Cards & Computer Programs can also be used to generate pseudorandom things, not neccessarily only numbers.

Same with flipping coins or drawing straws, these can be pseudorandom as well.

Probably many other forms as well.


Creative uses of Cards.

One can also use cards to generate a pseudorandom number, for example numbers from 1 to 6 or 1 to 10. Just use Ace and cards numbered 2 to 6 or 2 to 10, all of the same color. Other forms of generating random results are also possible with cards - either 'standard' playing cards or TAROT Cards.


Random and Pseudorandom.

Computers generate pseudorandom numbers, but if coded correctly it's almost impossible to guess results.

One can learn how to roll dice, and i think it's possible to learn how to guess or learn how to choose cards to be drawn.

So these are pseudorandom as well.

... etc.


Does God roll the Dice?

Is Karma a result of Gods' will?

Is Destiny/Fate/etc a form of Strong Karma?

When a human rolls the dice, is it God who actually 'rolls', only using human's hands?


Does God play with Dice?

Is rolling dice the same as playing with dice?

My dice.

Dice on image above:

- 10 of ten-sided dice (d10).
- 10 of six-sided dice (d6),
- 2x 7 of varied side dice:
  - d20,
  - d12,
  - two d10 dice of two types, for a case when one wants to roll a hundred-sided dice (d100).
  - d8,
  - d6,
  - d4.

Mysticism, Freedom, Karma, Destiny & Fate.

What is Mysticism?

It's listening to one's inner voice, and following it as one's morality dictates.

One can say that it's 'Way of the Doll' that dances as the Spiritual Authority(-ies) pull the strings.

Spiritual Practices can lead one to become a Mystic.


What is Freedom?

... i think it's the ability to choose one's Goal(s) and Way that leads there, accepting all of strings attached, even painful ones ... including limitations, hindrances and other things - good & bad - associated with the Way.


Karma, Destiny & Fate.

Karma is the Law of Cause & Effect. There's belief that certain practices can transform karma, that there's the Way to Freedom.

Destiny / pl: Przeznaczenie / is - or i think so at least - the strong Karma that dictates how one is (re)born, where one's lives are directed. By changing Karma one can challenge the destiny. It's possible but quite difficult to challenge the Destiny. One can also make karma stronger, harder to change by seeding the seeds of Destiny to protect the progress from changing direction in this and future lives.

Fate / pl: Fatum / is - or so i think at least - stronger form of Destiny. It's extremely difficult to challenge one's Fate. Fate can be used - and is used - in practices to protect one from detracting from one's Way, in this and future lives.

I think i read somewhere - in wise book(s) - that once a Buddhist reaches certain stage of development
/ thinking: Mahamudra /, the Buddhist Way for him or her becomes his/her Karma and Fate at the same time.

Weight Loss Spell - Witchcraft, Low Magic.

Source: [ 'The Big Book of Practical Spells' by Judika Illes, page 198 ].




-=- The Milky Way Weight Loss Spell. -=-
Ingredients:
- Carton Milk.

Spellcasting:

Weight loss programs are best scheduled to coincide with the waning moon. A magical weight loss program is initiated on the night of the full moon.

Stand in your tub or shower and pour the milk over your head. Before you rinse off, envision yourself getting thinner in harmony with the moon.
/ May I suggest that you allow the milk to achieve room temperature first. A very cold splash of milk may drive even the best intentions right out of your mind! /.

In order for this to be effective, this spell must be accompanied by a sincere effort to lose weight, whether through exercise, diet modification or both / blog author's note: one also might want to go to a medical doctor and ask for metabolism-quickening cure /. If you find yourself side-tracked or need reinforcement, don't be angry with yourself. Schedule another milk bath starting date for the next full moon, which will arrive shortly.


*******
The flower world can assist you in your attempts at self-transformation. The aroma of essential oil of patchoili / pl: olejek eteryczny paczula / has been used to control an excessive appetite. Likewise, other oils will stimulate your appetite, whether for cosmetic purposes, to counteract an eating disorder, depression or following an illness. These include essential oils of anise, bergamot, black pepper, fennel and ginger.

Seven Hermetic Principles, Kybalion.

A central concept in the book / Kybalion / is that there are 'Seven Hermetic Principles, upon which the entire Hermetic philosophy is based'.


These are:

1. The principle of mentalism.

'The All is Mind; the Universe is Mental.'


2. The principle of correspondence.

'As above, so below; as below, so above'.

This principle embodies the truth that there is always a correspondence between the laws and phenomena of the various planes of being and life.


3. The principle of vibration.

'Nothing rests; everything moves; everything vibrates'


4. The principle of polarity.

'Everything is dual; everything has poles; everything has its pair of opposites; like and unlike are the same; opposites are identical in nature, but different in degree; extremes meet; all truths are but half-truths; all paradoxes may be reconciled'.


5. The principle of rhythm.

'Everything flows, out and in; everything has its tides; all things rise and fall; the pendulum-swing manifests in everything; the measure of the swing to the right is the measure of the swing to the left; rhythm compensates'.


6. The principle of cause and effect.

'Every cause has its effect; every effect has its cause; everything happens according to law; chance is but a name for law not recognized; there are many planes of causation, but nothing escapes the law".


7. The principle of gender.

'Gender is in everything; everything has its masculine and feminine principles; gender manifests on all planes'.

Heilung - Anoana.

So much meaning in this.

Makes me think of martial artists that observed animals to find inspiration for martial arts they were creating
/ such as Shaolin Monks /.

Many do not know this, but Shaolin is more than a Legend - it's Real - it's Buddhist Temple in Henan Province, China.

I think it's Spiritual Music Band, such as Inkubus Sukkubus for example

David Guetta ft. Nicki Minaj - Turn Me On (ENRG Remix).

There's newer version of this song, but i like this one for the 'dystopian electronic feel'.

UEFI, Computer's Security & Speed.

For the Security & Speed of Your Computer (Not only Windows PC), i suggest enabling the UEFI Functionality.

It works well with Antivirus Software, makes it harder for viruses & other malware to bypass Antivirus Software.
(thanks to UEFI, Antivirus is executed before malicious software has a chance to start ... and in Computer Sciences, program that starts earlier controls the situation).

(i am a computer nerd - i've worked in Computer Sciences professionally for about 5 years, studied a bit of Computer Sciences in Warsaw University too).

... yes, there are many ideas for tweaking computers, but i think UEFI is one of the most important functionalities to enable.


How to do it?

... well, it depends on computer, motherboard (and BIOS) and operating system You are using.
... i suggest searching the internet using Google or other search tool (as Microsoft Bing for example), considering your motherboard/bios and operating system in the search query.

Demon of Chernobyl.

... i've got hinted by a friend.

... i don't know how much truth it is.

... esoterics lore is full of misleading information and lies, so it's important to be cautious, aware, conscious - and check as much as possible; this article is no exception to that rule as well.

... how to check? by developing wisdom in mind, with intent that this wisdom is for this purpose.

... how to develop wisdom? just invoke wisdom to Your mind, by saing word 'Wisdom' in mind or aloud. With this intent, of course; This wisdom often appears after that some time passess - not immediately. But will happen sooner or later, in mind.

What word 'Chernobyl' means?

It has at least two meanings:

1. Chernobyl means: 'wormwood', it's a herb used in Witchcraft among other things.
2. Second meaning is made of two parts:
- 'Cher' means: 'Queen of Snakes', a demon's name. Snakes are related with poison and nuclear radiation is a form of poisoning. Snakes are similar to worms.
- 'Nobyl' is a spell, incantation of invoking demon. In this case it was invoked to a circle, to trap it there.

There's a story:
- When Russia was more esoteric, Demon Queen was invoked to a place that it jailed her.
- Later that place was called: 'Chernobyl',
- Then Nuclear Plant was created there.
- Cher used technique called: 'Elephant Foot', it's said that 'Elephant Foot' is most destructive thing in the world.
- In Chernobyl Nuclear Plant there was 'accident' caused by Cher - Concrete block fell down on reactor, like Elephan Foot's stomp, and caused explosion.
- Cher was freed.

... i've had insight(s) that a future samurai was born in Japan, samurai who will defeat Cher.

... Demoness flees from him - if he kills her she's done - if she kills him, she will be defeated even more by others - at greater cost however.

... i've had insight(s) that Cher is related with shadow of now-dead important buddhist spiritual leader; his shadow was created by abuses and mistakes of using his efficient lessons. by defeating Cher he will be partly defeated as well.

... i've had insights that other samurais are/will be born to defeat other forms of shadows of this venerable teacher; his main form will be defeated as well.

Age of Aquarius.

Age of Aquarius / pl: Era Wodnika / is the time when occult and supernatural things thrive.

... when i hear 'age of aquarius is coming' ... i think: '... still is coming?', 'when it will arrive?'.

... perhaps its a promise ... words used to open someone's thinking to the word of occult.

... i was thinking that if someone is initiated enough he/she will hear: 'age of aquarius arrived'.

After saying that, a fact:

Pluto moves into Aquarius 2023.
'interresting times' as chinese would say.

There's chinese curse: 'May you live in interesting times'.

While seemingly a blessing, the expression is normally used ironically; life is better in 'uninteresting times' of peace and tranquility than in 'interesting' ones, which are usually times of trouble.

Times of troubles are also times of opportunity, let's not forget that.

MtG Low Magick: Healing Salve.

Introduction.

It's said that every tool in Magician's hands can be used for Real Magick - even games, computer games or other.

Cards - Tarot Cards or other Cards symbolically represent something, say something, have meaning.

It's said that Magick is a way of speaking with Universe, speaking abstractly, using symbols.

Every symbol used represents karmic connections with beings and/or phenomena related with it. Beings differ from phenomena by having mind. Beings have Mind, phenomena do not have mind.

We can use wand or athame to direct energies from one symbol to another symbol.

... or we can do something else. / but let's not forget that using symbols should say more or less precisely what we want to happen. /

It's said that Universe loves us and tries to fulfill our wishes, prayers, spell.

The more precisely we define spellwork and target, the more accurate our magick will be.


The Spell.

... i've used a Magic: the Gathering card named: 'Healing Salve'.

Touched the card with my wand, then touched my Crown Chakra (on top of head), then touched my Heart Chakra.

Thus - my wand, my healing wand - directed healing energies from beings & phenomena related with healing - directed to my crown chakra and heart chakra.
