Magari, I think frackture just thinks that your definition of money is basically: money = the symbol of wealth. And he says that it's not the symbol you want - you want the thing that money represents. But frackture, magari might be right. Many magical rituals (if not all of them) needs a focus / fo...

Thanks for the feedback, everyone!

You wrote a LOT, and I don't really have anything to add, at the moment.
I need to meditate on your answers.

Thank you, gentlemen, for all these interesting answers!

Side note: If you live in Colorado and need a job send me a pm. First of all: Thank you, but unfortunately I live on the other side of the planet! :D I'm experiencing a lot of success, but before I threaten my own potential I want to pose a few questions to the thread. Good. One of my teachers said...

And here we go, the Big Question: How to gain wealth with magic? I've heard that many occultists experienced this - getting riches is very difficult (or even impossible) to achieve. There are many theories about this (like attracts like, money is energy, etc), so I decided to start this topic: How t...

How do I contact and invite Eris? Which method is the most successful and does not require more than one person? I'm pretty much a novice so when invited how will this deity communicate? How long would Eris stay around when invited to be spoken to? Are you sure you want to do something like that? I...

"Magic is the art and science of causing change to occur in conformity with will." - everybody knows this famous quote. But what is Your opinion? Is magic art? Is magic science? Or both of them, as the quote says? Maybe there's a third option - magic is neither an art, nor a science. It's...

The truth has spoken.

In fact, if your only (?) hope is magic, you must be really desperate.

A bit off-topic, but I suggest to check the five elements of Taoism. Many Western traditions work with the Greek version of the four elements, then they put there a fifth one, probably from some Eastern source (I'd say Hinduism). Now Greeks also had a fifth element, of course, but that was added in ...

Then there's the basic Eastern mystical texts - the basics like the Bhagavad Gita, the Dao De Jing, etc. and then branch out from there. Western writers tend to highly intellectualize magic and mysticism, and some Eastern influence can be a good balance for that. I'm not alooone! :D You are absolut...

I'm sure you can also repair yourself and will run again, Rose.

And yeah, grounding can be the key.
It's a big mistake that I've never practiced something like that.

Working with a lot of energy has its own downside.

Well, I don't know how the will of the universe works or even all of what is capable in magick (I'm a newbie), but if you're so sure about surgery working and where it may be undertaken, then why don't you focus on some type of financial windfall which will allow you to undertake this procedure you...

Have you ever had an mri of your cervical spine? You need to rule out disk or bone problems before you can say that it's definitely occult related and not physical. I have had a spinal damage, as I said before. So yeah, I had an mri, and my spine was in a very bad condition at the time. But I've cl...

Yeah, they can learn and become independent, but that's not a rule, only an exception. I, for example, got a lot of reliable and loyal servitors throughout the years, and only one of them became... well... nasty, a bit. But I could easily shut that one down, without a problem. If you think about the...

Gentlemen, how about we just stop these fights, start to respect the others and their opinions? We are all here to learn, to grow and to share are experiences. Let's do this as peacefully as we can! There are many traditions, many views on / of magic, so we should get used to the fact that there are...

Good job.

How about a sigil?
Or something "physical", an anchor for the spirit - like a little statue, chrystal or a drawing?

And a good advice: be patient.
Especially if you don't have much experiences with servitors.

But I think it's going to be all right.

I don't think I'm being rude or hostile, I'm just being blunt. I apologize if that has bothered you. But alright. Have a good day. On the contrary: honesty is a great virtue! In fact, this world surely needs more honest people. Anyway - I hope this discussion won't ruin our "fellowship" o...

I would suggest seeing a good, professional acupuncturist who is familiar with the Qi Gong aspects of the art and other bits of TCM. It sounds like an issue with Baihui being too open while the rest of the GV isn't, causing energy to get stuck there instead of circulating properly. This is often en...

Dear Shinichi, Please, listen: You got your point of view, I got mine. I think I wasn't rude to you, while you constantly are. I honestly think that it's pointless argue about this topic anymore (as I said philosophy is actually my profession, so I know where's the point where an argument should sto...

What I'm looking is some guidance on how to reach the kind of intensity necessary for such a work to have a chance of success. I've done a number of things and currently, I'm working on a sort of servitor. I'll post what I'm up to in the chaos magick forum. Ok. If you got any questions, just shoot!...

Thanks corvidus! I had this problem before, to the point that my third eye was going haywire along with the headaches. Didn't get much sleep for a few nights while I waited for it to subside. Actually, I've found my third eye being very active recently. So maybe we have / had the same problem. The p...

Just off the top of my head (heh), I think the best way to balance yourself out and ground out the excess energy (or spread it out more evenly) would be to take up a basic form of standing/moving meditation (qi gong if you want, but perhaps better something less overtly energetic like Tai Chi or ev...

Well, insomni4c, gods and goddesses can be very whimsical (that's why I usually don't work with them). I remember once I evoked Maat, and she just didn't like me. She told me that I'm a tricky mage, thus she doesn't wish to work with me. XD I wasn't even upset - the whole experience was fascinating ...

Hi everyone, So I have this little problem with my head - my energy system is probably damaged since my childhood, cause I've had a lot of migraine when I was young. When I was a teenager one of my teachers (a Reiki master, actually) told me that my crown chakra is too active / opened, thus I have a...

Let me get right to the point. I would like to increase my height by 7 inches, in a way that is healthy and balanced (wingspan, torso length, legs, etc). Help? I suggest you to study chaos magic. Specific (and many would say: "impossible") goals can be really hard to accomplish, thus you'...
