Blessings, For those who might suggest I take this to the Rune’s thread under the Methods forum, I would do that but I’m not planning on talking about the divinational side of the Runes but the Pathworking side. With no better place to post, this is the best place I can find to weave my thoughts an...

Blessings, A friend of mine mentioned connecting with his HGA through permutating three different angels associated with his birth: Month, Day, and Hour. Through Gematria he discovered his HGA equals 72, the level of Divine consciousness he finds himself working with. Does anyone in the community h...

Blessings Desecrated, Smell them, feel them, taste and listen to them, look at all their unique qualities, and sometimes, inhaling them as well: either on the coal or in my pipe. Having said that, I would never intentionally consume anything that was detrimental or poisonous to my health. And if th...

Blessings DarkSchneider, As RoseRed pointed out, stones and gems that have holes in them have been used for a long time as jewelry and amulets, and under those conditions their effect are just as powerful, if not more powerful in some situations. I agree with Spida, in that, even a smaller "pi...

The "Chaldean Cabala designates the number values [of a letter] by sound vibrations" (Kindle Location 363). Building off of M.B. Jackson's statement, this same system applied to the English letters would be: A, J, K, E, B, C, D, G, P, T, V, Z F Ch (from H) I, Y L M N O U, Q, W R S, X Whil...

Blessings AlephAyin, In the Classical Yoga Traditions Patanjali teaches us a good meditation process that can be applied to any style of meditation – body relaxation techniques included. The following is a very simplistic break down of his Eight Limb Yoga: Free yourself of mental clutter, worry, an...

Blessing Coltron, As to you last question, "aren't angels supposed to be the safest thing to deal with?" I would have to disagree. Sometimes angelic energies can get us in as much trouble as goetic ones. While I personally do not know which spirits are the safest to work with, I can say t...

Blessings Shinichi, Sorry for triggering you. That was not my intention. I started to read the Hermetica again when i came across that quote. And rather than being Confirmation Biased, as you plainly accused me of doing, it was just relevant to our conversation and so i thought you might appreciate...

Some correspondences I do not resonant with, but for completions sake, I have recorded what many others have said – it is up to you to find out what works. Jupiter Metal: Tin Signs: Sagittarius and Pisces Day: Thursday Sephirot: Chesed (Kindness, Mercy) Golden Dawn Grades: Adeptus Exemptus Element:...

Blessings Shinichi, I happen across a more pertinent quote from the Hermetic writings that supports my belief of air being the most rarefied of elements. This comes from the Twelfth Hermetic tract from the Corpus Hermeticum verse 14: "The finest of matter is air, the finest air is soul [...]&q...

Blessings Shinichi, Thank you for your knowledge and experiences. I agree with no hierarchy or superiority between elements. The Eastern way of working with the elements is more in line with my own beliefs than the standard Western one. Just for the record, I never considered you an armchair adept....

Blessings Shinichi, Seems like we have a disagreement here, though, all I wanted to know was if anyone else had experience working with different elemental configurations, and if so, what was their experience? As to your belief that Plato was the first to use that word (which wikipedia falsely clai...

Blessings Shinichi, Thanks for your reply. I believe you misunderstood my question. I understand invoking and banishing the elemental energies is accomplished through the direction we trace the pentagram, as in, we are invoking the energy when we are moving towards its point on the star and banishi...

Blessings Everyone, I have two questions. Firstly, I was wondering if anyone has worked/experimented with the Pentagram ritual, be it banishing or invoking, while ascribing different elemental correspondences to each of the points? In other words, having fire in one point to see what happens and th...

Blessings Tris3021, The fact that you intend towards positive things in your ceremonial practices and that you are actually seeking to understand and find a system that is in alignment with your aims is awesome. As Magari suggested, working with some meditative tradition is very important towards g...
