I'm actually setting this project aside. I think I have found a better way of accomplishing this, but we shall see what happens.

So, that idea I mentioned in my HGA thread, to make a mask involving a sigil that I scried, did not really work out. My girlfriend and I both did tarot readings on the subject, and they both strongly suggested that I should not use the mask, and that there was a fundamental misunderstanding involved...

I've done a ton of preparatory work. I've also invoked her before, and it's always been a bit of a wild ride haha. This time was just the most powerfully she's ever manifested. This time around with the invocations, I'm working on balancing the masculine and feminine forces within myself. I've notic...

I can't really say exactly what you would want to do in your situation, but I can give an example of how I generally go about charging or consecrating my tools and amulets. I set up my altar with a few candles, the object in question, a bowl of water, and a bowl of salt. If I am charging it with or ...

Thanks for the replies you guys. Definitely some good bits of advice in there, and I'm glad it sounds like I'm handling this right haha. And this is actually something that comes up quite a bit. You went into the Ritual with certain expectations. When those were met - you thought you were done. When...

Alright, so, having had a desire to do more experiments with using entheogens as a magical tool, last night I took some magic mushrooms and invoked Selene. For awhile it worked out really well, that was the first time she has mainfested so strongly. Then I made a dumb mistake and I'm pretty sure tha...

Welcome to the forum [yay] *Presses play on a small radio. The music from the Twilight Zone begins playing* I'm not an expert on Mormonism or anything, but a very interesting thing about it are the similarities between its founding and that of Enochian magic. Like from the way I understand it, Josep...

Welcome aboard [thumbup]

When it comes to the advice about practising banishing for a good period of time before doing anything big, I would extend that same advice. It's a good idea to at least have practised that kind of ritual for long enough to know that you'll be able to banish the hell out of anything that you may nee...

Just to add a little bit more on the idea of constructing your own ritual. I actually used to perform my own version of the LBRP. Lol the construction of it wasn't thaaat good honestly, but it worked just as well as the real thing. These rituals need not be slavishly imitated; on the contrary the st...

I personally prefer the Star Ruby when it comes to banishing. It's also my go to ritual when things get out of hand haha. If I'm in need of some heavy duty banishing, I like to follow the LBRP with the LBRH, and just cover all of my bases. But other times, if I find myself faced with a pesky spirit ...

I generally lean to the side of "selling your soul seems like a really bad idea". It's probably impossible to trade your soul for a life free of restriction. Even if it worked though, what if you decide it was a bad idea? Like amping up the entropy in the system that is your life is probab...

That's interesting, I like the idea of using divining as a form of prayer. It sounds like a really sound approach to divination. That image that appears in your head is also really interesting, I'm not totally sure what to make of it either though haha. I haven't been reading Tarot for very long, bu...

Thank you, Insomni4c! This is interesting, though I still feel that while the branches do differ in meaning, the use of K, Q and C in the word are more than a bit arbitrary :) Still, it is good to know there are differences in the teachings! No problem haha. The differences between the different br...

Welcome to the forum! Kind of stealing this thread a little here lol, but I have to point something out. The spelling doesn't matter.. They are cultural language nuances, not specific denominations of branches. There is only One Kabbalah (this is just my preferred spelling, and means nothing when sa...

I never said I thought it was all in my head, I actually tried to emphasize that that wasn't what I meant haha. I must not have done a very good job of that. I just mean that in my opinion, beings that are percieved as external aren't necessarily separate from ourselves, without trying to imply that...

I dropped out a semester before graduating after having a bit of a nervous breakdown + existential crises. I have ADHD, and at the time was dealing with recurrent major depression, social anxiety, drug addiction, etc haha. In the years following dropping out, I got over the depression, learned to de...

The HGA also isn't your Higher Self, it is its own being separate from you, and assigned to you by the powers that be to watch over your fates. It's precisely because the HGA is not the Higher Self that you can learn so much from it that isn't your own knowledge. I've heard arguments for both sides...

PoisonPen has a good point; if you're going out of your way for a spooky experience, you're going to have a spooky experience. Even if nothing objectively happens, your mind will come up with something. The EVP recorder is just asking for spooky ghost noises. By all means, do it, lol just realize wh...

Has anyone here used any non traditional methods of initiating contact or uniting with your HGA? Non traditional as in methods other than the Abramelin operation or the Bornless rite. Also what do you guys feel are the essentials when it comes to this sort of operation? I'm also hoping to see what y...

With the LBRP and LIRP, I've heard of a lot of people using the LIRP to invoke in the morning, and the LBRP to banish at night. I've never used the greater or supreme pentagram rituals, but I have gotten the impression that they are often considered to be more advanced versions of the lesser pentagr...

I'm not really new, just been gone a long while. I thought I should take a step back and do my work on my lonesome and learn a lot more before trying to paste my ideas onto some forum haha. I also took a hiatus from magic for awhile following a few difficult experiences. It proved to be good for me,...

1) The True Will is not your ordinary desire of the ego-personality. It is the Will of the Higher Self, that part of the Human that is named Spirit. The Spirit has its own Will, which is the True Will since the Spirit is the only part of the human being that is fully immortal from the start. This t...

There is no way to fight against the current of Will, Sure there is. It's called Discipline. Not if everything is the Will of the universe haha, which is what I was kind of getting at. In which case, that discipline would be just as much that Will as any other action, so it wouldn't really be fight...

I've been taking a break from all of the ritualism for a period of contemplation, and thought I might share some recent thoughts that I've had. Some of you here may know, I'm a hard determinist (pretty sure I've mentioned it anyways), if not, I'll share the reasoning behind the belief before I get t...
