Re: I.O.B What element is anxiety?
But you don't need a grenade launcher when a simple fly swatter will do. You don't need it, but it does sound satisfactory. I wouldn't really equate it to an all-out-war method. Its simply an answer to uncertainty. Suppose you banish it using the air dagger but the source is rooted in your lower em...

Re: I.O.B What element is anxiety?
As an alternative you could consider attacking it from all four elemental directions by breaking down the aspects of your anxiety into 'sub elements'. Example: Use the Aid Dagger to banish disharmonious thoughts (conscious or otherwise) connected to your anxiety, use the Fire Wand to banish the lowe...

Re: Solving your problems with magic. Right or Wrong?
If you can get something you want with magic, go for it. Why the hell not. I was thinking on this the other day; the notion that we perhaps incarnate to experience certain negative situations, and thus a certain flavour of suffering - but ultimately, we can't know that. If you followed that mindset...

Re: danger of occult
Stealing from a magician/occultist is always a bad idea. Even if he doesn't know who stole it he can still unleash a magical shitstorm on the thief if he is so inclined. I am in agreement with the other posters here that it is far better (and safer) to seek out a digital rip on the web. Assuming you...

@Mysticwizard452 The reason why is that, occultism is the only practice/ belief that feels like its fits me, that and to better myself and learn more about the way the universe is and why its is the way it is :) I believe that a study of Kabbala would be a good starting point for you.

Re: Accidental psychic attack?
One thing you may try, If you know the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram you can try projecting your anger to the south (into a mental/astral image of him) before drawing the pentagram between you. When you see the etheric cord between you and your anger has been cut or burned up by the penta...

Welcome Hekahava,
I noticed your display of the 0=0, the grade badge of Neophyte. Are you a student of a Golden Dawn, Thelemic, or similar magical system?

Solving your problems with magic. Right or Wrong?
I recently had a rather heated debate with a so-called 'adept' over this subject. He asserted that we have problems and suffer for a reason and that we must strive to understand that reason and that we shouldn't use magic to solve those problems. His thinking was that by using magic as a problem sol...

Re: Finding like-minded individuals

While they did give me a good starting point for my studies, I later learned that I could just as easily have found that starting point on my own. I was simply too hung up ...

Re: Israel Regardie - recommendations?

For a Comprehensive framework of self taught occultism I would recommend Modern Magic by Donald Michael Kraig and Self Initiation Into the Golden D...

Re: Looking for good books on Talismans
Thank you both very much. I have already read Isreal Regardie's book on Talismans but I want to know as much as I can before proceeding. One thing I learned the hard way: KNOW what you are doing before you do it.
Again, thank you both.

Here's a simple statement of a what I am dealing with; A demonic entity that is beyond my ability to control and is capable of smashing through my defenses. That fact that I am virtually defenseless is enough to scare the crap out of me, as it should any sensible magician.

This demon is definately not some projection of my unconscious.

In spite of any resistance, this demon is continuing to s...
