Re: The Hoodoo Truth by Doc Conjure

Wrote a huge response and it disappeared :( tldlr: i agree with both of you, and was just emphasizing balance. If you are unwilling to accept/learn the system from the context of its origins then you have no business learning it (opinion). there is almost two "hoodoos" (when we talk about ...

Re: The Hoodoo Truth by Doc Conjure

Great post with many great points. I particularly like the end where you mention that it isn't very "practical" work to read. I agree, and Hyatt makes similar mistakes of all the other "anthrophologists" of the time, even if they meant well. It is a good source of a sort of lore ...

Re: I feel so angry about the story of Medusa

You are right. There are countless mythological stories that paints the strong, (sexually) independent, warrior woman (for example) in a negative light. It gives you some great insight into the thought patterns of mankind during those times. Medusa is a great character and there is no reason why you...

Re: Need help brainstorming

I would just do three separate rituals. By mixing them you have the possibility of canceling each other out or something. You would also want to find a good time where all three planets are in good positions and positively aspected with each other (a lot of effort). If you really wanted to use multi...

Re: Kali & Flying

Flying for me has been a useful baseline for dreams. The control of flight directly relates to my lucidity level. You should use your habits to your advantage. During your waking day, try to fly and you will fail. Reinforce with the thought I guess I'm awake! If you do this enough your flying habit ...

Everything you said. I don't think this passage has anything to do with ketoacidosis, hallucinating, or summoning the devil.

Re: Ritual of my own formulation

No. I think you understand what banishing is. Some systems are very adamant about a "formal" banishing before ANY magical ceremony. others regard this as an offense (usually more "spirit" driven systems). Some classify banishing/invoking as relative to the actual spell being perf...

Now you are mixing hermeticism with gnosticism. They are very much related, overlap, and influenced one another.
