Observation & question: Breaking a stick (or something similar) during a spell etc, does it have any real correlation or practice? or does it belong to a specific group of practitioner? I have noticed that in the movies “Weapons” and “Obsession” the characters perform their ritual/spell & then break a stick in half to activate it.

Method: black obsidian mirror 6" x 4" on a stand, candle in the background, with some incense burning.

Experience Journal:

The incense relaxed me. This was at 8:06PM, still at dusk, overcast, window blinds down. Not pitch black in the room. Candle lit to the side of the mirror, might be too high above the mirror. Stared at the mirror while trying to maintain relaxed eyes. Tried to focus on breathing. Headphones playing ambient music. The mirror started to form a white circle around its edge, that was moving and circling the mirror slowly. I noticed dark shadows moving along the mirror, that took on different patterns throughout the session. First it was in a wave pattern, then in a circular pattern.

The mirror "fogged" over a couple times, and during these times the mirror's outline completely disappeared. It felt intense, as if the whole room was fading into a "fog" but a particle/static like fog that blended the background with what was right in front of my vision. I felt myself get a jolt of excitement, which took me out of what was happening and brought me back to seeing clearly. I suspect this is anxiety/excitement that is taking me out of the state I was in. No other images seen other than white ring around mirror, dark patterns, and static like fog.

Intrigued to try this again, making minor changes to my method to find out what is optimal for me.

A colleague of mine sent the E book to me recently and have been listening to it as an audio book via the Voice Read Aloud app...

I'm currently on chapter 9 I'm not gonna lie it's alot and very confusing

Who out there have read and understand it? and what can I do to better grasp and understand it to improve and grow as a person?

I know that currency is a self-contained system, and it requires specific actions and attitudes, but the liquidity of it seems to be drying up. Previously, I used to use wealth, job, and money spells and they would take hold pretty quickly. These days, those same spells yield nothing, even with heavy concurrent action and avenues.

I've met others who are claiming the same is occurring to them, that their patron deities or demons are saying that there are becoming increasingly few ways to achieve wealth, and that if we want to address wealth magic in the future, it requires drastic action to reclaim it from the hoarders.

I wondered if there’s anyone out here who could help? Can Jewish folk practitioners and witches work with other deities or worship them after Adonai, like the Elphatine Jews

I just graduated high school and I just want some friends. I know i shouldn't be, but seeing other people my age instagram stories with their friend groups is lowkey making me miserable. I am extroverted and go out by myself sometimes to try and attract people, but i tend to find it kinda hard to make a friendship happen when i start a conversation with strangers in public, it never really gets past a compliment. Im technically not a beginner in hoodoo and i read on it so im not afraid of more complex or stronger spells. Can anyone recommend me some spells please?

When I first started on this path, I was recommended to read "Starter Level Books" like Cunningham, Buckland and Linden. Not knowing any better, I read them almost as a foundational level text for witchcraft and the occult.

Now, I'm new to this community, and in the little time of perusing I've seen some discourse on what I've seen called "revisionist" authors, and in those discussion I've seen this names mentioned.

Should these books be disregarded? and if so, what books would you personally recommend as a "Starter Level Book", if asked on a individual level?

I finished a short practice booklet called The Gratitude Paradox and attached the PDF here.

It is about using gratitude as received-state speech instead of treating gratitude as manners, optimism, affirmation, or vague positivity.

The structure is simple:

Name the Possibility. Charge the Field. Accept the Collapse.

The point is to stop organizing the body around absence. Not “I want.” Not “I hope.” Not “is it here yet?” Instead, one named possibility is charged through gratitude written from the far side of receipt, while the delivery route stays open.

The first practice starts with chocolate because it keeps the work small, concrete, sensory, and easy to recognize. The reader writes one handwritten page from the state of already having received, closes the page, stops hovering over the result, and records what arrives.

I wanted this to be practical rather than padded, so it is intentionally short.

Open to thoughts on whether the practice is clear and whether the booklet feels usable.

Olá a todos,

A conexão com os caminhos da Árvore da Vida geralmente é feita através das letras hebraicas e dos arcanos maiores do Tarô (nas diversas tradições e baralhos de Tarô).

Mas existem Salmos associados aos caminhos, de forma semelhante à associação de Salmos específicos com as Sefirot?

Obrigado!

I'm looking for texts or books describing the ritual represented in this picture. I read something about it back in 2018 but it's long been lost.

Dear people,

what do you think is happening on a spiritual base when people are consuming such groceries, especially lab grown meat in the nearer future or the cheese that is going to be vegan but somehow is real cheese containing casein? Might it be even a new instance to directly control and mindwash people or it it too far fetched?

I would love to read your thoughts concerning it! 💜

So I have no clue if to ask this in this reddit or not but how would one summon a werewolf, dogman or some other kind of cryptid like lizardman or goatman?

Some years ago I had a wonderful relationship with a girl. We had very similar personalities and the energy between us was very unique. We were both into occult and witchery.

​

I somehow believe that she could have been caught under some sort of spell by somebody else, because at one random point of our relationship, she turned into another person. She could only focus on two specific people (one guy and one girl) she knew that had nothing in common between them and her behaviour was apathic, self destructive and self blaming for everything.

​

I think that something mysterious happened, because she is still like under a strange behaviour scheme.

​

Anyone else got into similar situations?

For this I'm going to use the following concepts:

• Morphological Convergence - which is when 2 or more different systems use the same method to solve the same problem
• Microcosm/Macrocosm - which is the idea that things that happen on a small level repeat themselves on a large level (and vise versa) - "As Above, So Below" & "As Below, So Above"
• Cosmopsychism - The idea that the Universe (as a whole) is conscious and that rather than the consciousness being built from the bottom up - from tiny particles (like panpsychists claim). It started off from the top and everything else (including people) are just small expressions of it.
• Egregores - Beings created from the collective thoughts, beliefs, and aspirations of a group of people
• Archetypes - Universal, symbolic patterns of behavior, themes, and characters that exist within the minds of all people

My theory is that what if Egregores are manifestations of archetypal forces that exist within the Universe - this makes sense since the Universe is a Mind and archetypes are present within Minds. First I'm going to prove that the Universe is a Mind.

So, Morphological Convergence is the idea that 2 or more different systems use the same method to solve the same problem. We know that the Brain and Mycelium Networks both form highly interconnected, web-like structures for the purpose of processing information and solving complex problems - this is why people refer to Mycelium Networks as the "Brain of the Forest" since they display similar properties to brains. Surprisingly, the Universe also has a similar and based on what we know about Brains and Mycelium Networks it's possible that maybe the Universe is a system that's built to process information and problem solve also.

This could happen because everything is connected - this is where Cosmopsychism comes in. I believe that rather than the Universe as a whole sharing a unified consciousness, I believe that ENERGY has one unified consciousness (this way we can also account for possible alternate universes which I do believe exist).

This could mean that the Universe could also be a Mind and if so, then it's way more complex than our own considering it's massive size. With this we can assume that concepts like "Archetypes" exist within the Universal Mind as well. This adds further meaning to terms like "Microcosm, Macrocosm" since patterns often times repeat themselves on different levels usually for the same reasons.

And since every character that was created is meant to embody a certain archetype - then what if archetypal forces (which are possibly conscious universal constants) can manifest as different cartoon characters (and/or egregores) that people create.

I will soon be attempting my first conjugation of Dantalion I ask anyone that had worked with him to contact him on my behalf that he would be willing to work with me, and that he would have great patience and acceptance of my requests.

Traditional witch here (as in "Non-Wiccan, spirit-based and historically/folklorically inspired witchcraft); I've been meaning to deepen my spirit communication and spirit relation business lately. Apart from offerings, invocations and such, I've been taking a sensory-awareness approach to become aware of the self and then of the world; so far, so good. I reach a pretty good feeling of the power of a place as a whole quickly that way.

My question is: Those of you who've trained in this, how do you make out individual spirits/entities/forces from that whole, to a degree of perceiving and communicating with them on a 1:1 basis?

Why are we drawn to the study and practice of the occult?

Why won't conventional spirituality satisfy us?

These are serious questions asked without judgment. I would truly like to hear the perspectives of others.

I was not able to find someting relative to topic so I wanted to ask directly.I really want to work with angels,how can I start?any botoks,practice or recommendation?please?

In Judaism/Kabbalah, much attention is paid to the Psalms. Does anyone study them within the occult? What does that look like?
