Notes on my development

I have been having what feels like resounding success at talking to Lucifer using my moldavite pendulum. 

It seems to be really easy for me to slip into a trance state when using the pendulum. Combined with lighting incense and offering of fruit, this little ritual has given me a more intense sense of contact than I ever expected to know.

He has been very present for me lately, probably due to a confluence of things (using the eclipse energy wisely, my birthday/holiest part of my year, the death of my friend leaving me vulnerable and Lucifer seemingly in a bit more of a nurturing mood than usual). Honestly he’s been available to talk with me day and night, and when I have asked if I am taking too much of his attention or contacting him too much, he has said no. I’m fucking blown away by the kindness being shown me right now.

(Cut for length)

Lucifer has indicated to me that he wants me to learn astral travel. I have legitimately no idea where to begin with this, and am very intimidated by the task, but he’s holding out a reward I want more than anything else– to be able to see him and interact with him more viscerally. 

The other day he got a little short with me for the first time– apparently I was saying “thank you” to him too much and he got sick of it. Told me to thank myself. 

OK, Lucifer, I see your point, and I get that you don’t want worship or anything that feels like it. But gratitude is a huge part of my spiritual practice and what keeps me clean and sober. Still, I get it. It’s gonna be a struggle, which, presumably, you are completely OK with. So far my efforts at adjusting to the “less thank yous” bit have often ending with me sometimes mentally snapping “I LIKE AND APPRECIATE YOU, IS THAT OK YOU GRUMPY FUCKER?!” in the direction of my altar. Which, perhaps surprisingly, seems to upset him less. 

Regarding Lucifer and tarot– when I invite Lucifer into a reading, I get a hell of a lot more inversions than in a normal reading. Inversions and how to interpret them are tricky and the subject of a lot of debate, of course. In the context of a Lucifer reading I am tempted to interpret them less in the typical way that I might interpret an inversion, and tend to see them more as representing the “fallen” nature of that card, its Luciferian nature. 

I have also become much more intensely embodied since working with Lucifer more actively. Which for some reason is not what I expected– I am used to spiritual work making me feel less connected to my body. But it’s more like I am feeling an additional layer to my own being– at the moment I am assuming it’s my astral body. I have had a lot of spontaneous sensations of being touched or caressed while talking to Lucifer lately, and those sensations feel very physical even though they are not exactly physical in origin. I am feeling things in my physical body that are coming through my astral body, maybe? I don’t know, I don’t know very much about astral!

I am also seeing auras a little bit– mainly around my moldavite pendant when I use it for pendulum divination. 

It’s an interesting and intense time for sure. I am very excited to see what comes next. 

A Simple Bind To Shut Someone Up

solitary-green-witch:

writeswithafist:

For when you want someone to quit talking shit.

Procedure:

Take a piece of paper and draw a tongue (a horseshoe shape with a line going down the middle) then draw a large X through it.

Write beneath the drawing “You will hold your tongue.”

Fold the piece of paper over and glue it shut, or take a safety pin and pin it closed.

Slip this into a jar with a layer of black salt (or mud) at the bottom of it. Seal the jar and store in a place that light will not reach it.

* I did this simple binding when a manager would not lay off my ass and it worked fairly well for me. Happy binding!

Doing this at work for all the rude people that have something rude to say about the pentacle I wear.

The 3 steps to get rid of a curse.

wolfofantimonyoccultism:

Once you believe that you have been cursed you can then start the process in order to get rid of the curse that was placed on you. You can do this by following these three steps in order to isolate yourself, fight back, and then cleanse, and heal yourself back to normal health.

Here is the post on symptoms of being cursed, and diagnostics methods:

http://wolfofantimonyoccultism.tumblr.com/post/163601502625/symptoms-of-being-cursed-and-diagnostics-methods

The first step you are going to want to do is shield yourself. This will give you time to identify what the curse is, and where it might be coming from. Along with allowing you to think about how you would like to proceed in the next step. The shielding does not have to be anything elaborate it just has to work well enough to isolate you from the negative energy of the curse, and will give you some time to think, while not being impacted by the curse.

Shielding methods that you could try, would be things such as:

  • Casting a circle.
  • Charging, and activating a Sigil for protection.
  • Using the psychic bubble of white light.
  • Wearing all black.
  • Wearing iron.
  • Remaining in some form of sacred space or holy ground.
  • Using protective crystals such as obsidian, onyx, black tourmaline, or smoky quartz, among many others.
  • Burn incense, or herbs for protection such as dragon’s blood, rosemary, basil, or clove, among many others.
  • Creating crystal grids of protection.
  • Asking a deity, spirit guide, thought-form, ancestor, or ascended master to protect you.
  • Asking another more experienced practitioner to shield you.
  • Among many other shielding methods….

The second step would be to banish, or send back the curse. In order to banish the curse you will first need to look for everything that connects you to the curse, and cleanse it, or destroy it. Once you do that you will be able to send out a spell to counter, and banish the curse, or reflects the curse back to whatever sent it. In the step it would also be helpful to identify who, or what sent the curse at you in the first place, so that you can bind it and prevent it from happening again.

Curse breaking methods, and curse sending back methods you could try, would be things such as:

  • Charging, and activating a sigil for curse breaking, or for sending back the curse.
  • Asking a deity, spirit guide, thought-form, ancestor, or ascended master to break, or to send back the curse.
  • Construct a decoy witches bottle in order to absorb the curse for you.
  • Create, and cast a personal spell to nullify the curse, or to send it back to its user.
  • Using crystals such as of Labradorite, obsidian, or shungite, along with many others.
  • Burn incense, or herbs for curse breaking.
  • Taking a bath with specific herbs can also remove the curse by nullifying its negative energy.
  • Cleanse, and destroy the source of where the curse is coming from, so that it can no longer target you.
  • Reading from a holy book out loud.
  • Strongly intending, and demanding that the curse be broken, and dissipate.
  • Stay in your protection until the curse runs its course, and runs out of energy.
  • Asking another more experienced practitioner to break the curse.
  • Among many other methods….

The third step would be to cleanse you and your space of negative energy that is left over from the curse, so that you can go on with your life without being disturbed by past energies. This can be done through any cleansing method of your choice, and is a very important step in order to keep you safe, and spiritually healthy. You can also in this step run diagnostics on yourself to make sure that you are healthy and all mind, body, and spirit, so that you can enter back into a normalized state.

Cleansing methods that you could try could be things such as:

  • Burn incense, and cleansing herbs such as Sage, Cedar, Palo Santo stick, among many other things.
  • Going to a Reiki professional to balance out your energetic body.
  • Charging, and activating a sigil for cleansing.
  • Noise cleansing through such methods as clap cleansing, singing bowl cleansing, or bell cleansing.
  • Asking a deity, spirit guide, thought-form, ancestor, or ascended master to cleanse you of negative energies.
  • Spray the area with salt water, holy water, or any other magically charged water.
  • Using the power of the violet flame.
  • Using your own spiritual energy to nullify the negative energy.
  • Sprinkling salt in the environment.
  • Physically cleaning the area.
  • Casting banishing pentagram of the Earth
  • Casting the Lesser banishing ritual of the pentagram
  • Casting the Lesser banishing ritual the hexagram
  • Casting the Gnostic Pentagram Ritual
  • Asking another more experienced practitioner to cleanse you and your environment.
  • Among many other methods….
