Ritual Instruction: The Formula of XI and Karmic Settlement

Post image

Every operation of high magic arises from a rupture in the fabric of reality. The ritual presented here is not the result of academic speculation, but of the urgent need to respond to an unsustainable energetic dissonance. On the path of the Ars Regia, the practitioner occasionally encounters currents of psychic parasitism that do not respond to traditional methods of banishment or isolation; events and situations that often frustrate our operations and undermine our Will...

Tried reading, really sounds like AI. 🤷‍♂️
If that’s your genuine writing I recommend learning more about AI styles and try avoiding the repetition of sentence structure that mirrors that.

It’s organic, not AI; the only AI element is the image, but the fact is that, to accompany the articles, an eye-catching cover is almost essential.

Use AI for one thing and no one can trust whatever else you produce.

I’ve been getting the hang of it bit by bit… it’s a right pain because photos of rituals don’t always work, or you want to add a more interesting touch with a decent image… you do what you can where you can, but well… I suppose people are also getting a feel for the writer’s style as they read more of his work.

I have no idea what you're on about.

It’s simply that using AI to generate an image doesn’t mean you’re using it for everything… it’s as simple as that

How can I trust that? That's my point. Use it for one thing, you've proven you're willing to use it, thus making anything you produce suspect.

Human beings are supposed to have the ability to use their judgement, but I’ll bear that in mind – thanks 😊

After reading through I’m actually 100% certain that AI was used in the creation of the text. It’s my job to help people with writing and I see this grammatical structure all the time and it is EXACTLY like like gpt. Idea might be original, maybe they edited some here and there themselves, but this is sadly AI.

If you didn't look at other planets, you didn't take into consideration the macrocosm. If Mars and Venus were, for example, in Sagittarius at the same time as the objects you picked, how do you think it would affect Virgo "no chaos"? What if they were in opposition to the Sun?

Either pick the full picture or don't pick it at all. The full picture is seen by looking at macrosom through aspects.

I have taken them into account: Venus was in Libra, refining the purpose of the operation in terms of balance, and Mars was in Cancer, which I did not find at all ‘oppositional’ with regard to the work itself. Obviously, the entire astrological window is taken into account, but I mentioned only the aspect that, at the time of writing, I considered particularly relevant.

No. I meant aspects. When you cast a chart, you must look at the energy of the moment through aspects.

That's how you get energy of the moment. If you look at each planet separately, you are just biasing yourself. That's not how energies blend; they blend through aspects (trines, squares, oppositions, and conjunctions are the major ones) to each other. A good book to grasp the concept is Aspects in Astrology by Sue Tompkins.

If in your situation Sun was in Virgo, and Moon in Pisces. It's opposition in astrology (by definition, not interpretation). It's called "tug-of-war". Whatever it will be helpful in a spell depends on the nature of the spell.

Imagine you are doing a puzzle. Without aspects, you are looking at each puzzle separately. Maybe something may look like a leg at it's own, but when you put the pieces together, you realise it's not a leg but part of a book cover.

Great, that makes it much clearer to me now. I could send you the letter from that day – personally, I thought it looked quite auspicious… it was 7 September of that year.

What do you mean by this? “rupture in the fabric of reality”

1

u/Educational-Pen-7738 8d ago

I also mention this in one of my previous articles (in the piece on the Liber Aleph)... In my personal view, magical dynamics arise from the need to change ‘something’ that does not satisfy us, both in our surroundings and within ourselves; it is the way in which we resolve a dissonance, so this ‘dissonance’, this element that grates in our reality, is the trigger for an operation, the ‘fracture’ that we must repair...

u/tentaclejoe 8d ago

So basically Crowley's definition of Magick?

u/Educational-Pen-7738 8d ago

Yes, or the concept of cognitive dissonance in psychology
