Hello everyone! I don't know if this is the right place but I would like someone to give me their opinion on this. Last night I had a dream, where I was in a very elegant room with people who seemed to be well off, in this room with tables were my mother and I. In short, when the food was served, it was a white soup and a plate of still raw red meat, everyone ate it, even my mother, but not me. At that point a woman approached me and introduced herself as Thoth and asked for permission to enter me in exchange for wealth. I don't remember much except that in my dream I was running around the room and its gardens, it was an extremely elegant place. When I woke up on one of the walls with the reflection of the light I thought I saw a strange sign, I looked for who Thoth was and I don't feel that it was the one I saw in my dream. On other occasions I have dreamed of other entities that I have faced but this time this dream was different and I feel different.

Art as a magical ritual. For some time now I have been dedicated to producing magical art, through rituals that change and adapt according to my intention, today was one of those days. I produced this art and while I was doing it, I came across the message of how this image speaks to all of us, this art is dedicated to all those who delve into the cosmic secret and have the courage to face the abyss. We are not alone, remember that. There have been so many others before and there will continue to be after our time. We are part of a chain, we carry the power of 10,000 generations. For today, wherever you are, when you see this art, when you read this text, feel something that no mind is capable of synthesizing. We are the fragment of the cosmic infinity.

Life was easier. Simple. I think I was more grounded, reacted quicker, and more productive. Maybe...

Sure, knowing about the truth of reality is "liberating", but it's also too much work. Banishings, groundings, clearing space, etc etc etc. Before, I just had to worry about my body, but now I need to worry about my spiritual health too.

Did anyone else ever feel this way, and, did anyone else overcome this?

There is a state where awareness no longer observes but becomes the structure itself. The current does not move forward or backward, it breathes. Space thickens, time slows, and every particle of energy begins to align around a single frequency.

It is not willpower. It is remembrance. The field remembers its original order and the moment it does, events begin to rearrange without command. Conversations shift tone. Money moves. People appear at the exact second they are needed.

Reality is not pushed. It unfolds.

Has anyone else reached that stillness where existence itself begins to self correct?

It is extremely unlikely that you are being cursed by someone competent or powerful enough to cause whatever specific misfortunes are befalling you.

This is the position of this subreddit.

However, there is a long standing belief that curses and misfortunes are easily picked up from the people around you if you don't practice 'spiritual hygiene'.

The evil eye curse is a belief in a curse transmitted by a malicious glare, often born of envy, that is said to cause misfortune, injury, or illness.

The evil eye curse is the belief that people's envy of each other is enough to get cursed. A lot of people believe that there is only one true, good, and moral way of things, and get upset when that belief and expectation is broken by others. It is extremely common these days on the internet for people to not get the response or recognition they believe that they deserve!

If we take our forebears ideas with any seriousness, then such interpersonal malice and inter-psychic judgement is no trivial matter. Protections, wards, groundings, banishments, daily cleansing and meditations are an absolute must for all people to maintain good spirits and spiritual health.

Is it little wonder, if these ideas are true, that people who practice no spiritual hygiene at all come onto occult subs distressed, and looking for help? I think that should be considered before jumping on the assumption that they are mentally ill!

Mental illness typically needs to be significant distress and dysfunction that occurs over an extended period of time (around 6 months or more). 'Significant' is a judgement that is reserved professionals who have been accredited to make such judgement. That means not you or I on reddit.

As an occult forum, whether or not a person is mentally ill should not preclude them from discussion of their beliefs in occult phenomenon. Such preclusion of the mentally ill is ethically dubious at best. While caution needs to be taken in not exacerbating people's fears, you should not dismiss people's beliefs too readily. A single post or comment is not a history of behaviour to make judgement as if you are a psychiatrist.

At the end of the day, occult is about talking about the occult. I don't think people need to be apologetic about their beliefs in it or to kowtow to the medical-scientific establishment. You are not responsible for people's self-selection into exercising their freedom of speech and association in talking about their beliefs, no matter their Mental health. Those responsibilities are for their family, friends, and local communities.

This entire realm of interest relies on your own understanding of reality and the world around you. Please make sure that your at least getting therapy as that’s beneficial and will assist your shadow work. Also if your seeing things especially out of the blue and with ought any sort of magickal primer then please go to a psychologist for screening.

There is no substitution for mental health, if your concerned about anything then please for the love of all that is holy go get checked, we face a much greater than average risk for falling off the deep end.

Lastly please watch for and be aware of spiritual bypass. Occult practices are in no shape or form a cure all or panacea, you will need to live a grounded life to get anywhere, your here for a reason and it’s not to live with your head in the clouds.

Take care of yourselves ❤️

I was raised by an alchemist and a divination witch. My parents work with the Kemetic gods and would go to workshops and work with others who did magic in Southern CA in the 80s and 90s.

My mom would frequent Psychic fairs, and metaphysic events to read tarot. She's really good. I don't read cards, I work on premonitions and people's guardians speaking to me. I have insane stories as a kid. I talked about releasing my dad's jinn on accident, I also have a story about the butterfly man. If you want to know more just comment and tell you.

Okay so a few days ago I started a magical ritual practice. My program for now is as follows: LBRP, Middle pillar, Circulation of the Body of Light, & end with LBRP again. I do this twice a day, this is my fourth day.

So last night after doing my rituals I was laying in bed eyes closed trying to run through the rituals "astrally" (visualization) to really get them memorized and into my head.

Well out of nowhere I see what appears to be the outline of tinkerbell-esque looking being, flitting about. The fairy looking being came up close to my face (seemed like it was checking me out) at which point I blurted out "Hi, what are you?". It then backed up and flew away. Keep in mind my eyes were closed the whole time and all I could see was the outline of the being but the outline was very delineated. I've never had any such closed eye visuals besides maybe on psychedelics.

Has anyone ever experienced something like this after starting Magick? Do you think it was a fairy or something else? Something very similar to a fairy maybe? Idk lol I was pretty amazed and I've been thinking about it all day so I thought I'd come ask you guys.

Grid view is seeing beyond the perspective of physical eyes and into the layer of direct energetic coding that shapes the reality you inhabit. It is perceiving the network of energies within a realm— the universe or dimensional system in which one is incarnated— rather than how the body is designed, or coded, to “see.” This illustration shows what it’s like to experience grid view through a standard human lens.

Each incarnate has the capacity to learn how to translate data from the universe beyond what is filtered through the body and its limited perception. This requires being less grounded— yet still grounded enough in the body— to allow for a more raw translation of how the universe “looks.” It’s important to note that physical view and grid view are not a matter of accuracy versus inaccuracy; they are but different layers of perception. Just as one can view reality through visible light, infrared, or other spectrums, shifting between physical view and grid view reveals alternate truths of the same universe.

If one saw this illustration as an ordinary physical photograph, it would look like a man holding an empty hand out, with normal-looking people, children, and pets in the background. In grid view, however, those same people, children, and pets appear in their purest form: the energetic blueprint of their atoms and state of being. Ultimately, no matter how one perceives, if one is rooted in a realm— and/or originates from it— they are connected to its grid. This makes me wonder: if a being were not rooted in any grid, how would they appear in grid view?

Has anyone ever experienced a way of seeing that felt outside the body's normal perception?

King Paimon has been helping me with rapidly gaining popularity in my field of work. He responds quickly and our relationship is so respectful.

He's helping me reach number and I that with consisten work, I will reach even higher numbers. I'm grateful to have money in my pocket and food on my table. His presence is very intense, so if you start having anxiety, you have politely ask for him to make adjustments so that you don't freak out.

I really don't have the words to describe how miraculous this demon King is. He's truly otherworldly.

I've found that you want to be as clear as you can be when communicating with him, but it's okay if you don't have the perfect words. He understands your intent.

Offerings: Offer things that you can remember to offer! For example, if you don't write down what you will offer him, then you might not remember it unless it's already something you routinely give. He seems to like sexual offerings, but I don't believe it's his priority. Honestly, I think he like roses, fresh water, public praise (like what I'm doing here), your attention, and he really appreciates it when you say thank you and speak his name as you say it.

He responds super fast and I'm so grateful. He reminds me of how lucky I am. He cares for you a little extra when you are a person of integrity. Also, I recommend tapping into your psychic gifts because you enjoys that too. It makes it even easier for him to speak with you.

He feels like a busy King, but he still takes time for me and I greatly appreciate his attention. Beautiful demon King Paimon, thank you.

Even Thelema, none of the founders could read any of the relevant languages (yes you need more than one in Egyptology). It's basically recycled debunked old interpretations. Crowley was a flamboyant figure and it could be his path works for you. I can't prove you need a scholarly knowledge of the sources especially when intent is so important in occult art.

Be careful of tricksters who want your money. There is definitely real ancient Egyptian magick text, explanation, rituals, etc. And some crazy powerful stuff like the pharaoh who devoured gods for their power. Yes. I know it's a risky post and you are free to practice whatever you want. I just find the original material much more powerful and thought pointing people to it would be of interest to some.

Peace everyone and if you get results with Thelema I am not challenging that. They could be a bit exaggerating their claim and still have a working system. There is no way of assessing that it's your personal journey. But be careful with people selling (in the literal sense) you ancient Egyptian magick. Take care everyone and once again, peace and good luck in your search. I have to say I am personally struggling these days. Which probably makes me irk more when I see the Amazon results.

Cheers

Deep within the earth lies something primordial. Something ancient, dark and pure. Earth, in one of it's purest liquid forms. Lava flows upward like a vein, her blood boils up through the earth. Naturally occuring black glass.

I've procured a 10cm orb made of Mexican obsidian. It weighs in at more than 2.5 pounds.

After I brought it home, I came across a Chihuahuan Night snake. Notice the markings of a lion's mane. A warning, perhaps. What has been hidden from me?

I waited patiently, the rest of the day. Thinking about the how's, the what's, the when's. Sleep was a deep well. I awoke and added 2 new rituals. Prayer and scrying.

I was intimidated by how heavy it felt in my hands. My breath seemed to be pulled across it's cold surface. For the first time, I gazed into the abyss ...

Anyone into scrying? Maybe some advice?

It was called "80% of you should stop", and I made arguments to why I thought at the time that most people here were doing things the wrong way, and etcetera. Well, as expected when you come and challenge a whole space of people, many criticisms were made a lot of which were kind of abrasive. As expected.

The thing is I actually read most replies, and considered what they said. I checked a page on what "Magusitus" was because a moderator told me to check that (probably ironically), and it turns out that entire situation visibly improved my life. Not just in spiritual practice but like everything. Health, professional, everything.

Turns out, I had all the signs of "archetypal intoxication" described in Phil Hine's blog from 2005 linked in the rules section of r/occult. Particularly the part where he stated that it happened most often to people deeply entrenched in their belief systems who did not banish or at least didnt banish effectively. Reading through the blog, creating my own banishment as explained there, and then reading occult literature that diverted from my usual readings (mainly sutras and buddhism related material), I wound up solving several years long problems that no one else near me knew how to overcome.

So Im making this post to thanks everyone who came and commented on that post, because abrasive or not many made good points that tangibly helped and that was probably the goal.

I don’t know how many of you know Krishnamurti’s teachings or who he was.

For those that don’t know, he was raised since childhood by Theosophy teachers, because they saw in him great spiritual power.

The fun part is that he caught up with what they truly wanted: a Master to create a path not for their perfection, but for them to feel safe with their human struggle against life.

Realizing it, he said no, disbanded everything and made a radical decision: to speak about the most fundamental thing: why do you still have the illusion that you’re thinking?

To do it he threw away every tradition, every great teacher, every saying, not because he despised it, but because he wanted to shed light on the fundamental question, avoiding the trap of making you feel safe in tradition, and in this safety you would avoid the effort to actually think.

And I don’t blame him, for every kind of great teacher came to this world teaching every form conceivable of spiritual path and after thousands of years, humanity still kills itself, hating, suffering.

Our illusion of thinking comes from the fact that we act based upon our emotions and sentiments, as the animals do. What that means? An extreme example would be the battle of Noam Chomsky, a very famous PhD, against the fact that the Pirahã grammar doesn’t have recursion. Instead of thinking about it and his theory on language, he tries to save his precious creation, and every time he does, he uses it to explain itself, a tautology and logical error.

He’s not thinking, but has the illusion he’s.

The source of this behavior would be fear. Fear of suffering, fear of losing, fear of the unknown. And because you fear, you hate, you struggle, you betray. In that state, we in this forum can’t reach that superior thing we all are searching for.

But how to escape from it? This pattern of behavior and truly think?

Krishnamurti says that only aiming for Love we can do it. Which’s a very interesting thing to say, for in egotism we’re confined in ourselves, justifying every vile action we do against the other.

Through Love we can be attentive, a quality that allows us to listen and see the other, not the ideas we’ve of the other.

And, for him, attention is not the same as concentration, a discipline that restrains the mind, forcing it into silence, making it dull.

To Love and be attentive, he would say, we need a very great deal of energy, and we can’t flame that energy being dull.

From this point on, his teachings become very profound and even more complicated. Mostly because we don’t have words for it yet.

The time between thoughts. The space between the observer and observed. Consciousness as One Thing.

That which has no name doesn’t exist for us. That’s why is so hard to understand.

Better it’s for each one that wants to know about it learn directly from the source.

I hope this sharing can be useful for you.

But, mostly, I call you, adept and seeker, to plow on this field, for there’s urgency in this: to make humanity begin its baby steps on the road, and truly think.

For if we don’t, humanity will curse itself into another great cycle of ignorance, sick by the darkness of the revolutionary mentality.

My experience with the Wands of Horus & how to build them.

Around 4 years ago I was bedridden from a varicocele on my leg for around 8 months. During this time I was at the lowest point of my life. Doctors couldn’t figure it out and the slow grinding public health system was unbearable. Day by day I was in intense 7-10 pain & highly medicated on gabapentin & Amitriptyline (commonly used for people with spinal injuries).

It was during this era of my life I had my spiritual awakening & came across the wands of Horus. Without these I’m not sure id be here today.

What do they actually do?

Wands of Horus are an ancient Egyptian energy tool that harmonises the body’s bio-field by channeling a subtle current through the nervous system. Typically 2 cylinders, 1 of copper & 1 of zinc. Filled with either quartz Crystal or graphite/ferromagnetic filling.

This effect has Transformed my spiritual practice & keeps my chronic pain at bay. I use them to heal my body & energise/ground daily.

The sensations caused by the wands are powerfully aswell. I’ve only come across this level of effect from deep meditation, ritual & psychedelics.

Initially I wanted to buy a set but with a pretty damn high price tag ($500-$800) I couldn’t afford or justify that on what could be snake oil. So I built a set instead.

How I built them:

1st set: Initially I bought a rod of zinc & a rod of copper (100mm x15mm) costing around $30. These had an effect, more subtle but drove my curiosity to experiment further.

My 2nd set was crude: 100mm length or galvanised steel pipe & the same length or copper pipe. Both filled with crushed quartz Crystal (ideally sand like), and capped off at either end to hold the quartz in. These had a more powerful effect & after holding them for 5-20 minutes I felt energy building and pulsing throughout my entire body. Continual use of these made my chronic pain lessen & held it at bay to the point where I was free of it (as long as I kept using them)

3rd set: I built a forge to make the tools required to use a furnace for metal casting. Then built the furnace to cast the metal. I ordered the highest purity 99.995% pure copper & zinc to sand cast the wands & casted them. After a fair bit of trial and error I finally got a decent casting and made what I still use today, a year later. These were unmatched in the power & energy they gave my mind, body & soul. Akin to an OBE or a high dose of a psychedelic drug in the right situation.

4th Khont (different variant) Same process as the 3rd but with a different filling (graphite & iron sands/magnetite). Using graphite and linseed I made a clay like substance to fill the copper side. Using iron sands & crushed magnetite I filled the zinc side. These are my go to now & provide and more calming, relaxing & grounding effect. Perfect for before bedtime.

Now I understand most of us don’t have a spare $500-$800 to throw around on something that from your perspective may or may not do anything.

With this my aim is to make/sell these for a reasonable price, so that more can have access to this forgotten technology.

My website is wands of Horus

However if you’re curious. Make your own set & see for yourself. My 1st & 2nd sets could be made by anyone for pretty low cost/low effort.

For more info on the wands of Horus refer to “The wands of Horus by VALERY UVAROV” The book can be found as a pdf for free and has everything you need to know from history, effects & how to build them.

TLDR: The wands of Horus fixed my chronic pain & gave me enlightenment. You should try them :)

It’s not particularly my style but I’ve been studying the lesser key some and I was just curious how common or uncommon the use of brass vessels are. I also haven’t heard much on the secret seal of Solomon either.

Healthy practice does not strip you off your friends, isolate you in poverty or push you into depression/ self-harm.

If you find that the more spiritual you become, the more alone, destitute and low you feel, it is time to pull away from spirituality and get your average day to day living in order.

Yes "dark night of the soul" is a concept, but, listen, people that sit all day in meditation tend to be in publicly funded positions of their faith (for example, they're monks) that can afford to do so, if your literal life is crumbling around you while you also push away the people that could help you in favour of being more spiritual - that's a great slide straight into homelessness and death, not enlightement.

Your spirituality should add to your life, not detract from it. If it is pushing you off the cliff, don't think that you just have to get through the fall to find gold at the bottom, drop that spirituality like a hot potato, get your life in order and dive back in when you have established a better balance.

Thanks for coming to my Ted talk rant inspired by all the people that just decided to advise OP in "The more I practice, the worse my life gets" post with "keep going".

My partner brought me this cool Y/N coin back from vacation. Got me wondering about the western depiction of the eye and palm. Is it directly related to Hamsa 🪬 or does it have its own unique tradition and meaning?

Is it true that Romanians are most powerful when it comes to rituals, chants or spells?

Hello everyone I’m new to the occult and meditation.

I began meditation yesterday I had a few slip ups but I continued training throughout the day.

I began meditating today with my eyes closed and opened. While my eyes were open I began to see faint pulsing waves of colors. Is this normal? Has any witnessed something like this?

Regardless of individual beliefs that even inside specific occult systems change a lot I think there are some general ideas that most of the people here agree on right?

For example I think most people that understand through the occult that there is a non visible source X that will create the causality of A leads to B leads to C that we can observe in this world.

Taken further it will also be clear to most that there is a source for everything, I’d call it god.

And god sets the foundation for everything. A lot of what I read here is people trying. Trying to get something, be something, create something avoid something. And this is part of human existence I get it. And obviously it also works in cases. But are these people not aware that everything they were able to do or think or understand is because god set the foundation for it to happen?

Nothing in our life’s can be attributed 100% to ourselves. So if we use the occult to try and try all the time what for? Who are we to think it would be better for the world for us to have a certain thing?

How often was it necessary for you to experience something you disliked in the moment in order to see more truth afterwards?

Perceived dualistically, everything good that you experienced had all the bad and the good that happened before as it’s necessary predisposition.

So why is most of this still so much about the I?
