Thank you for your revelation! I think I will study of the Kybalion and puts the principles to use the best I can.

I have heard excellent things about the book The Kybalion and was thinking about using the seven hermetic principles described within it for myself. What can I expect if I honestly do so?

Also, how can I integrate it into my occult practices?

I recently undertook several shamanic journey but I fear I might be making them all up. I have met with three power animals, the first being a woolly mammoth, the second being a bear and the third a raccoon. The strange thing is, on my first journey, when I entered into my trance state and visualize...

As I have mentioned before in my posts, I am new to Hoodoo. It seems to be the first magickal tradition for me to yield a level of results. I have been practicing trance-work at my altar, and I've had a few visions. These include in order of reception: 1. A dark clothed entity in a black suit throwi...

Getting in touch with my intuition has been hard for me. However, upon reading some good books on the topic, I was a able to get simple yes or no responses. A yes for me feels like my head is open, my energy feels expanded and I feel lighter. A no feels like my head is closed and my energy feels con...

I should state that though the Kabbalah {religious texts} itself is ancient, the means by which many magickal practitioners use it {the Hermetic Qabalah} is relatively modern, such as I am doing now. The use of the Tarot cards and vibratory formulae are relatively recent innovations. That is why I a...

I followed some good advice I got, and found a specific system of magick that I am now studying; Hermetic Qabalah. I bought two books by Oliver St.John, titled "Hermetic Qabalah: A Foundation in the Art of Magick" and "The Hermetic Qabalah Initiation Workbook". Together, these tw...

Thank you for the recommendations. I will look into them.

That is VERY good advice. I've been struggling to find a specific system/grimoire to work with that works for me. That being said, I have been picking parts of systems that do work and applying them to my practice sessions.

I see. Thank you. I have studied invocation and evocation in the past but never really attempted contact until recently.

I've been recently making trance meditation a daily practice for me. Specifically, I use the trance induction described in "Doktor Snakes' Voodoo Spellbook". Anyways, I just got done with a trance session which lasted 39 minutes. This is the longest yet I've been in trance. This session wa...

May I ask you a question ? What Native American ancestry do you have ? Have you studied the old customs / traditions ? The European ancestry ? And the same following question... Then , one other... Are you familiar with the terms Primordial Tradition , Green Language , Language Of Birds , Spider Wo...

Thank you once more. This is very informative.

Thank you! This seems very helpful.

I am considering taking up rootworking/Hoodoo. I have been for weeks practicing the trance induction method described in the book "Doktor Snake's Voodoo Spellbook" and I've got to say, it works for me. I've been using for meditation but I haven't had success, until possibly now, in contact...

Why do you want to practice magic?

Mostly for knowledge and spiritual growth. Nothing really in terms of material gain.

Thanks for clarifying the terminology. The ritual was just one of the Enochian calls. I can't remember which one but I'll look to my journal and get it. I sat in a dark room {my bedroom} with a white candle, recited the call and meditated. This was explained and guided in the book I was using. As fo...

Any recommendations of systems of magick for beginners then?

Fascinating talk. Thank you though I'm still not sure if what I saw was truly supernatural.

Let me begin by just say that I'm a novice magickal practitioner. I'm just a 24-year old college student with an interest in the occult. I mostly practice divination. I practiced the Enochian meditation as described by Dr. John DeSalvo's book "The Lost Art of Enochian Magic" a few months a...

This is interesting. What's fascinating is that my results about the readings about past are consistent, the results remain the same and even when I use the Yijing they also seem to be consistent with my geomancy. I like to cross-reference them and found this trend.

I recently learned how to perform geomancy {the western mantic art, not Feng Shui} and I have to say, compared to other divination techniques I have experimented with, I like it. It seems natural to me and it seems at least on the surface, accurate in my eyes. I have always had an interest in the Oc...

I've been training myself to prepare for an evocation. I've been practicing concentration, meditation {for a while now}, visualization and such. I plan to evoke Purson so I've been doing the proper research. However, some of the materials are costly and not easily acquired. Is there a simpler method...

Of course, and I agree. I would only use it as a aid, but not as a substitute, for spiritual contact in this way.

Would Hawaiian baby woodrose seeds still be a good candidate for this type of usage?
