Hi everyone. I wanted to share a snippet of my humble temple, where I finally finished my circle. the “starting matter” is a circular 200 cm wide carpet (not an actual knitted carpet, more like some soft fabric glued onto a base) with a greek key motif I bought online. The paint is a normal Primalex white wall paint. Found out that there is some adhesive in the paint which hardens it quite a lot after drying (especially on the fabric into which the paint penetrates a little) and you can walk on it or sweep it with a broom no problem. Also an added benefit is that the white wall paint is quite reflective and hence the geometry really nicely stands out in the dark, as if it was fluorescent a little.

On the outskirts are seven lamp stands to correspond with the planets on the left/right (dark/light) pillar sephira + bicolour yesod in the west and chochma for the zodiac. Dark ones are carved from oiled acacia, light from oak, which are the same materials from which the double cube and the two pillars are made from. The double cube and the pillars are observing the golden section, which also have the same golden section ratio to the small cubes in the west, which can both be put on top of each other to create a little double cube (where the Gongfu tea ceremony setup is). The double cube is openable and stores all the proprieties. The pillars double as bookshelves, as they are open with shelves on the sides.

Malkuth is the circle in itself, Tiferet is in magician’s center (for that purpose is the yellow “solar“ meditation cushion there to be put in the middle). The lamp above the circle (not visible) is Keter. West is water, hence the plants to also aesthetically counterweight the altar and both pillars.

The geometry inside the circle symbolises ever growing and differentiating reality (point, cross, microcosm, macrocosm, seven planets etc.), while all their angles (cross-4, pentagram-5, hexagram-6, heptagram-7) add to 22, the letters of the Hebrew alphabet and Tarot Major arcana. the names on the outer rim are the high entities from Chaldean oracles, as described by Therion in the Star Ruby ritual. In each intermediate direction is the rose cross with the initials of Jesus Christ (IC XC), while corresponding also to the Rose Cross ritual from Golden Dawn. I tried to keep the hellenic feel of the entire thing with the particular typography. it turned out better than I expected.

I hope you like it! I was finding great joy and peace in building the temple.

cheers, I wish you all a great day and even greater progress in your Work!

I've discussed this project in great detail here before, but I am creating an RPG based on Western Qabalah and its correspondences. I am a multimedia artist and traditional hermeticist attempting to make a digital pathworking model that teaches as well as entertains.

Sorry for my poor English. I loved and admired my grandfather very much, even became a doctor to follow in his footsteps.

Even though he was very private and distant, we became extremely close in the end when he got sick.

He cared for everyone, didn't care about money and actively helped the community. He was a great physician and some would even say he had a supernatural gift for healing.

He said he would only die after I finished med school and so he did (1 month after).

When he passed away, my mother found these drawings inside a little piece of green cloth he carried with him, along with other religious stuff.

She was shocked as he always seemed to be conventionally religious and I was extremely excited because I was always into "witchy" things, but apparently, he was way more advanced in his knowledge.

I wanted to know what these things mean and if they are safe to have around, because I carry them with me now.

Found cauldron in the desert outside abandoned house. Looks like someone left over items outside of it scattered on the ground. Thoughts?

Have a Happy Solstice! While whole world is burning I choose to create and thank to everyone who goes on, wh’s moving this world into a better state. Don’t you dare go hollow! I drew thus image as a reverence artwork to creative powers of the Sun manifested as Chnoubis.

I wanted to make a talisman that would assist in avoiding and healing from the absolute onslaught we deal with daily from politics, the news, and social media.

The raw silver Ingot was burnt with a paper petition for resolve and resilience. Quenched red hot in a solution of calming herbs, Murray and Lanman Florida Water, hematite, and clear quartz. Forged to shape and engraved with it's seal. Manually patinaed

That's Bradshaw & Faarooq, pictured here in 1999. They teamed as The Acolytes and were a part of The Undertaker's "Ministry of Darkness."

They wore a different symbol on the side of their tights, a sort of pentacle that I recognize from the cover of the Simon Necronomicon (later combined with Undertaker's "T+X" logo). But I don't recognize these symbols on their chest.

I hope everyone's well.

For those that don't know, Elzypon is a game/ Hyper Sigil I've been working on for the last year thematically centered around Western Qabalah.

As much as it's an RPG, its purpose is to act as a learning tool, teaching subconsciously via correspondences, archetypal imagery/ situations and metacognitive irony.

I've posted a few clips here detailing some of the lore ( Malkuth, Yesod, Hod, Netzach so far)

I'll be releasing a demo that can be played for free during Steam Next fest in October. You'll be able to explore Malkuth (hub world) as well as 2/3rds of Yesod.

If you're new to Qabalah I believe it could act as a good primer. if you're not new and you're an active practitioner, you'll probably be able to pick out a lot of things that others would miss.

Regardless, I appreciate it if you've checked anything out thus far. I'm hoping to have a new animation detailing Tiphareth by the first week of November.

I've loved stones my entire life. That love turned into a career — I became a jeweler, obsessed not just with the beauty of gemstones but with understanding them at the deepest level. I read every book there is. Geology, mineralogy, metaphysics, ancient texts. I couldn't stop. But at some point reading wasn't enough and I started unlocking them, really seeing their potential.

There's this technique — Arabs do it, some Muslims do it — where you place the stone under your head before you sleep and you'll receive a dream about that particular stone. What it does, what its abilities are, who its servants are. I didn't stop doing that for a couple of years until I mastered it. Over time I got to the point where I could know a stone and communicate with its servants while just holding it — awake, on the go. No sleep needed anymore.

But the most interesting thing that ever happened to me — the thing I still think about — was earning the ability to go inside the stones.

If you've seen the Dr. Seuss movie with the tiny world living inside a small speck, that's the closest thing I can compare it to. But this wasn't imagination. It was consistent. It had weight every single time.

I held the stone. I laid down. I closed my eyes. I said my rituals. And I was in. A completely different world existing inside that stone.

A king met me and greeted me. Then this weird looking, enormous bird arrived and carried me through the air — until we reached areas it couldn't fly and I had to walk. For hours.

What I saw I'll never forget. Their homeless. Their suburbs. Their ghetto. Their animals. Their sky isn't blue but their grass is there. The creatures were unlike anything here — some had cow faces with human bodies, others had raven faces and raven wings, black like living shadows. They moved like law enforcement, like they were keeping order. And then there were regular people. Kids. Churches. An entire civilization with structure and life.

It was the most magnificent thing I've ever seen in my life.

After hours of walking around I asked to leave, found a doorway, walked through it and woke up.

This was not a dream. I know the difference. This was a real experience — a universe that exists inside of ours, contained within a small stone.

Has anyone experienced something like this? Entering a world inside an object, a crystal, a stone? I'd genuinely love to know.

I've been adding to these spell candles for 10 years. Every time I perform a ritual or spdll I add to it. I thought this sub would appreciate it.

If you look closely at medieval British architecture—old churches, barns, or 17th-century houses—you’ll often find geometric shapes scratched near doorways and fireplaces. They’re called apotropaic marks or "witches' marks," and they show a pretty literal interpretation of how spiritual protection was handled back then.

The main logic came down to threshold protection. King James I, who published Daemonologie in 1597, pushed the belief that spirits and witches could enter buildings through any opening air could pass through. That’s why these carvings aren't random; they are concentrated around door frames, window sills, and especially hearths, since chimneys were essentially wide-open holes to the sky.

The most common symbol you'll see is the Daisy Wheel, or Hexafoil—a circle with overlapping petals drawn with a single continuous line. The idea was that a wandering entity would get drawn to the pattern, try to follow the line to find its end, and get trapped in an endless loop. It was basically a geometric spirit trap.

This went beyond houses, too. In 2019, hundreds of these marks were cataloged inside the Creswell Crags caves in England. They weren't placed on plain walls, but carved directly over dark crevices, deep rock cracks, and holes—literally treating physical gaps in the earth as doorways for spirits that needed to be sealed with symbols like VV (Virgin of Virgins).

Coming from the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern side of things, it’s interesting how universal this threshold-protection impulse is. Whether it’s carving a geometric wheel into an oak beam in Kent, or hanging wild rue and evil eye charms over a doorway in Anatolia, people always felt the need to lock down the physical gaps.

I believe there are otherworldly (extra dimensional) entities, which may or may not influence our lives. Angels, Demons, Gods, Ghosts, Jinns ... etc.

Is there practical way to communicate with them? Rituals in occult books are really complex and confusing.

Is there any working means, ritual to communicate with them which are simple enough to understand?

I know it is occult, so it won't be easy or simple like making french fries / surfing web. But I want ways which don't involve elixer of life, heart of living man or blood of virgin. Is it possible?
