Meditation for the new year ( testing out webinar software), but this is still a powerful #meditation to cleanse, heal, and clear the pain of the last year and absorb the lessons.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We talk a little about clearing and lessons and dive into the meditation around 18:00. This includes a fair amount of chakra work, and the meditation is very powerful. It should work even now in March to bring the good to the rest of 2016. In reality, I will probably move this blog over to primarily video blog ( with links) outside of the tales of magic.</div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">"It wasn't THAT long of trip."</span></span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> No. A short jaunt and I was trying to go small on the spellwork. Not that my intention that makes a difference at times. I brought my coffee and candles to the ancestors and Pierogi. Some of the ancestors love Pierogi, love it.<br /><br /> I walked up to the altar purposefully. I can always feel their presence, just outside of where my mind can reach even in the waking day. Maybe, it was the frankincense pouring into the air from the resin filling the sea of the empty space. Maybe, it was the candles flickering wildly in the still air despite the lights being on. Maybe it was the right alignment of the planets. I walked up to that altar purposefully, and I asked for help to deal with an annoyance. I can pay my rent, everyone is fine, school is ok... the family is doing well. Just sometimes, the annoyances get under your skin.<br /><br /> There is a guttural vibe that washes over you when spirits wish to communicate. It is hard to describe, maybe it starts with a rumbling in the stomach or a whisper in the ears. Oh they knew what I was asking, but you could almost feel them smirk for a long delayed second. Looking in the mirror, and feeling the love, there was no malevolence towards me. Everyone thinks the ancestors are oh so serious, but I know how many of mine would secretly put together charms in the 1950’s when they first got here. In the old country, Ukraine, people would come to them. Monsters and Saints. Nobles and Kings, walking the stretches in the deep Carpathian mountains.<br /><br /> In that flash, I reached out to the stick I offered to one of the older ancestors. I have not had time to wood burn it yet, nor get the natural wool cloth to decorate it, but I got the stick. He watches me day in and day out in my perm haze of sleep deprivation, studying, magic and work. This time when I picked up that stick, my body shook. <br /><br /> For a second, things went black. The energy surged and singed around me. Mists forming out of the darkness. Ancestor after ancestor joining in. Like riding on sea of cracking gold, a chaotic symphony of colors destroying, creating as the threads of life itself start to sound and change their notes for my benefit. We kept going. We were doing, we were one. At the end, my ancestor reached up and patted my on the shoulder. He was still smirking. This smirk was I just taught you something smirk. The precursor to those aha moments that come on the path. The scene faded, and I was back at the altar. I did not know how much time had passed.<br /><br /> Shaken, as if I touched a live wire, I knew something was done. I did not have hours to sit at a wall, processing. Now a days, that is how the magic works, get it down, ground fast and get back to what needs doing. I called a friend. I gave them no information just asked for a reading to do some confirmation work on what the impact was. I didn’t even tell the friend I had done work.<br /><br /> He stopped halfway in and said “Wait, the spirits said you walked up and asked, you already know the impact.” Just like that. He was right, I most certainly did.</span><br />

So its been no secret that I have not been blogging like I should. Between grad school and the shapeshifting course, all my time has been eaten up.<br />
<br />
Plus that, I like interacting with my readers but I dislike the he-said-she-said-he-said blog wars about some minutia point or about various culture wars or even just trying to steal the thunder for publicity. It just isn't me. I know this is a way to get "noticed", but really they get personal and I am wholly uninterested in conflict with any other authors. It's not worth my time and I do not really see it as "discussion". I will get over that and "discuss things" next year.<br />
<br />
But I have found a few areas, that I really want to explore and will move that way.<br />
<br />
<b>First, weird shit always happens in ritual to me.</b> Its so common place that I honestly have to take a step back. So much so, that I have had to step back and write fiction about it. The first attempt at that was with the <a href="http://magicblog.andriehvitimus.com/2016/01/the-good-luck-bath.html" target="_blank">Good Luck Bath</a>. Normally, I won't be selling anything with the fiction. Most people do not realize, I was a writer first, and then fell into being a magician. Getting acceptable at magic well ate so much of my time.<br />
<br />
Now I need those tools to get out of the normalization of the weird shit. I know "weird shit is happening" is never a problem, but it is a problem when it causes the mystery of of it all to get well.. dull. I have been really busy, and the weirdness makes things dull. Fictionalizing it, is a way to see it from a voice of wonder. A place of wildness, and weirdness. <br />
<br />
The words matter and the magic in the words I am returning to. I saw I lost 3 subscribers, so I hope the rest of you will like those stories. I will be doing a lot more of those stories. Even if I am selling something, I guarantee there are real lessons embedded in the "fiction". Real lessons for those who know to look.<br />
<br />
<b>Secondly</b>, I will be doing more combining magic and cooking, cooking being a hobby of mine. I plan to post various recipes and ritual pictures ( that means FOOD PORN), as well as the intensions I used with the ritual embedding. Mostly, that will be just cooking with real focus and intention. BUT I am going to go get a "ritual Apron to take on a magical persona", while I am cooking. Mostly for everyone's amusement, especially my own.<br />
<br />
<b>Third</b>, I will continue to post technique based posts, but if I see a topic goes beyond 5000 words over a coupe posts, I will bind this up in an ebook, so those posts my disappear.<br />
<br />
<b>Fourth</b>, While I have a proof of concept with the Sleepy Time Meditations and Physical Exercise based magic, I am going to go back to these for fun.<br />
<br />
Fifth, maybe a few general posts.<br />
<br />
I do not know if I can keep up with a weekly schedule, but I will try to get one out every two weeks. Know that I appreciate you my fans, and look forward to connecting in the new year!!!testhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02749535141054762854noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2833771070949587762.post-87973564663287599112016-01-25T00:28:00.002-05:002016-01-28T16:49:22.299-05:00The Good Luck Bath<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Only the silvery moonlight bouncing off the chilling droplets of mist guide your footprints. I need to get the water from the stream. </span></div>

Over the last week, the deluge of rain, soaked the area. The stream was high. Normally, you could see the areas to skip across it. So many prayers uttered at the stream. Today, the river carved into the landscape 4 feet cliffs created me in the moonlight. I can’t see where the stream ends and there are some deep pockets.</span></span></div>

The familiar whispers the leap from the stream whisper ecstasy and sorrow. My body always shakes and the cold cuts to the bone. Sometimes the mist envelops you. These spirits are my friends, but they have tricked me before. Today, the snow falls gently. Today I do not know how deep the stream is and the moon’s silver rays bounce hither to and from tricking my eyes. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The spirits know. My knees hurt from the cold.

TheY grasp me whispering. Draw the water right here. The ground is solid, my knees still not. I lay on the ground holding my heavy wrought iron pot to collect the water. I pay the spirits for the blessed water, I can feel their smile through me, with me almost. They miss me, and graduate school takes so much of my time.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.6667px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;">I walk back to our basecamp. It is getting colder now. I need to make a fire. I have a student with me. We try to cheat and dose the logs with rubbing alcohol. Of course, even with tinder, they don’t light. We can both feel the laughter around us. The tangible unmistakable presence all around us watching and meddling for their amusement. Their shadowy fingers move in and between us. At least we won't have to call them forward.</span></div>

You can’t just order it or really demand. You have to entice it and it is very much alive. These are things of spirits. A temporary imbuing of life and spirit from the essence of fire. We are making magic here, the bath needs to grow in the living fire. We coax, we connect, we pray. Piece by piece the fire builds and its spirit grows. We build it to be a great fire.

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I know this forest and on one of the many hills, way in the distance, a tree hums. This tree is larger than the rest. It hums gleefully and willingly, shining almost as if the moonlight itself dusted the tree with stardust for the great beyond. We know this is the tree. This is tree needed to change luck. 6 of the baths are accounted for, but not the 7th. This bath, well maybe it is yours. I have to go alone. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

I have been in this place before even though I have never talked to this tree. The essence of welcome drags me deeper. Talking to spirits for me is never straightforward, it is never linear. The spirit of this tree is older than I am. Always the pools of memory, reflect and tear. Flashes, insights, deeper outside the waking world. I am in the dreamland and this spirit is here.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

It is the tree today that will change the bad luck to good luck. I fall to a knee. The tree has to work on me too. Weaving in and out of me like strands outside of time echoing when two spirits communicate. Weaving the gold, and taking the lead. For a moment, we are entwined. I and the tree are one. We are. We give the needles for the bath, we break the bad luck, we bring the good.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The mists keep rising. I shake off the moment. I have what I need and there's still so much to do. The spirit of the fire still strongly beams. It too is gathering strength. More shadows dance and move. The slow rhythm of the moonlight and the shadows speeds up. We are in the rhythm. We cannot back stop. We are in the dance. I put my blessed cast iron pot right into the living fire. I pull out our rattles. The chanting has started, we fast become lost in the sea of infinite. The dreaming is here. </span></span><br />

So I know I have been profoundly negligent on blogging. Literally all my resources are going to the shapeshifting course, graduate school and work... really averaging about 4 hours of sleep...
Yep thats how its rolling... but I did this interview on last Friday. I was a little tired, for those in Toastmasters a little to high on Um and Ah counting... but surprisingly this really poignant on so many topics that I have been really thinking about lately.

Once again, someone has paid it forward so I can offer a contest to you, so someone of need can get in for free. Would you like this gifted spot, here is how to get a shot at it.<br />
<ol>
<li>Write a little blurb about how you used the techniques of Hands on Chaos Magic and generally love the book.</li>
<li>If you don't have Hands On Chaos Magic, write a blurb on how with specifics one of my courses, rituals, or meditations changed your life for the better. </li>

<br />
So I restarted the magical 30 effort. You should check it out here, <a href="http://www.magical30.com/">http://www.magical30.com</a><br />
<br />
With the last magical30, I decided to write a book with Stephanie Raiser, and submitted a article for the Anthology of Sorcery II, with an article of Sorath.<br />
<br />
It makes a real difference when you do the daily work. Because of school, work, and other real big changes in my life, getting to do the daily work became hard. Sure I use alot of NLP tricks to dive into trance states quickly, and get the job done, but I miss the one leg out and one leg in. I think lots of people will agree and understand what I mean. Plus, I want to play with the magic, which I do not always get to do on such tight deadlines. So where to begin?<br />
<br />
Meditation and Breathwork of course.... WE all can get better at this even if we are great at it. Its one of those, kick yourself in the ass and work toward mastery :)<br />
<br />
So come join me at the <a href="http://magical30.com/">http://magical30.com</a> and if you are so inclined, I am working out some meditative walking techniques based on Taoist principles. If you think occultists are stuck up, talk to some "Tai Chi" experts. Actually if you want to see all my magical30 posts, <a href="http://www.magical30.com/author/andriehvitimus/" target="_blank">here they are</a>. So yes one blog a week and I am working on more substantive blogs soon.testhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02749535141054762854noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2833771070949587762.post-85399373424021125642015-05-18T10:00:00.000-04:002015-05-18T12:07:05.495-04:00Innvocation of Chao-Kundalini<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This is a technique was originally published on my old web site. I had been developing to raise Kundalini energy, and give it a real boost more then just working with the Root Chrakra, and condensing down the time to raise kundalini fully. Warning this is quite effective, and goes back to the time I was working with Peter Carroll's Invocation of Chaos a lot more of the time. I should do that more often now.<br />
<br />
2 warnings. Drink lots of water, second, remember kundalini can cause issues if you have to much of it. Water helps.<br />
<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I usually start with some body warm up exercises, aka Tai chi And Gigong then perform a some sort of banishing. As this is a ritual of self-alchemy and self power, I do not usually state my intent ( this is more of a gigong like exercise).<br />
<br />
I will mentally start repeating the Invocation of Chaos as follows from Peter Carroll. </div>
<div>
<br />
<h2>
Invocation of Chaos </h2>
OL SONUF VAROSAGAI GOHU<br />
I Reign Over You Saith <br />
<br />
VOUINA VABZIR DE TEHOM QUADMONAH</div>
<div>
The Dragon Eagle of the Primal Chaos </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
ZIR ILE IAIDA DAYES PRAF ELILA</div>
<div>
I Am the First the Highest That Live In the First Aether </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
ZIRDO KIAFI CAOSAGO MESPOLEH TELOCH</div>
<div>
I am the Terror of the Earth the Horns of Death </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
PANPIRA MALPIRGAY CAOSAGI</div>
<div>
Pouring Down the Fires of Life On the Earth </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
ZAZAS ZAZAS NASATANATA ZAZAS</div>
<div>
This last line cannot be translated.<br />
<br />
English just provided for amusement sake. Enochian is the way to go.<br />
<br />
I keep internally repeating this, while Visualizing a Chaos Star over my root charka, actually more right where my Vestigial tail would be correct ( harking back to reptilian mind).<br />
<br />
Focus all attention and all feelings, visualizations and sound sensations on that point while externally or internally ( if you need to) intoning the Invocation of chaos. Do not just chant the words, it should be as if each word rings through your whole body with like a deep Tibetan bell. This does awaken the flame snake of kundalini very quickly for me.</div>
<div>
As I am directly my focus ( and as the energy people would say the energy of the Invocation of Chaos) directly into the root chrakra the snake will start to unravel. This feels great. <br />
<br />
So you keep going with the focusing on that spot, redrawing chaos stars and doing the invocations of chaos... at this point, imagine, feel, and see the flame snake rising up through the spine. Kundalini rises somewhat slowly, allow this to pass through and up each chrakra. <br />
<br />
I always perceive this is sound as a type of roaring or rushing. When the serpent reaches the top of your head, perform one more invocation of chaos to really feel your body filled with that energy. <br />
<br />
Two key points. From my experience of doing this exercise, this is clearly not kundalini energy, in my humble opinion it has some very unique properties. First, the Enochian will activate Kundalini thats for sure, but this mixes with that Chaos vibe so common in the combining/dissolving the opposites. It makes the Kundalini energy far more potentiated and more dissolving in how it rips the blocks through your system. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you call the Kundalini with the goddess Shakti, there usually is a certain level of softness, lovingness and mercy. This is the opposite and this is harsher, more rough, generally less forgiving. It however works fast to build up magical power, with a pull toward non-duality states ( something I have not found with straight Kundalini work). That means, you might need aftercare and self-care.<br />
<br />
Now, from Gigong and yoga, its actually considered a real bad idea to keep the snake flowing up and just let that energy in your head. The next part of the exercises uses some fairly kewl Gigong techniques, modified by Andrieh Vitimus, yours truly.<br />
<br />
Once you have the snake fully rising. Pull in and raise your sphincter muscle. As you breath in deeply, imagine condensing all the kundalini energy you have built up into your bones. Use as many of your senses as possible to imagine taking all the built up Kundi-Chaos energy and condensing them down into your bones. This helps if you practice some body awareness ( btw one thing people usually visualize wrongly, is the spin is closer to the back of your body then the middle :). <br />
<br />
On Breathing out, release your splinter muscle, but hold on to the energy while condensing energy in the bones. The easiest way to imagine this is to feel, see, hear, and know your bones being different as the meditation takes you. Do the breaths until you have absorbed all the Chao Kundalini Energy, and condensed them into your bones ( this is a relatively safe place to condense energy and this energy is more volatile). Leave it in your head, and you might well wake up with a headache or worse.<br />

<span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Every once and a while I get an urge to write a blog that is
highly academic. Really, I have always wanted to be a Professor (apart from the
poor treatment of non-tenured faculty in modern academia). <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">First, understand this will be a post about self-compassion.
The co-opting of the Buddhist religion by just about everyone is probably a
fair critique (<a href="http://www.spectator.co.uk/features/9355692/whats-wrong-with-mindfulness-more-than-you-might-think/"><span style="color: blue;">McDonagh, 2015</span></a>). In fact, it probably is the most
understated form of cultural appropriation. Even in academic settings, self-compassion
is often framed as a type of mindfulness. You can separate out the
technique from the religion, of course, as we will do here. However, we need to
realize that these techniques tend to lead to certain changes. Of course, while
I like Taoism a hell of a lot more than Buddhism (even though they are
sometimes related), the perspective I am writing from here is one of a Chaos
Magician with heavy Taoist leanings (for the purposes this blog).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">So much of what is comprised within modern occult materials
leads to the "Love Thyself" refrain that it is very difficult to know
what exactly that even means in practice. This sentiment is often coupled with
the idea that “Self-Esteem” is key. Certainly the Left Hand Path frames the sharpening
of your ego as a primary goal, as well as achievement. It turns out that
academically researched, “Self-Esteem” in the best of cases is rather a
difficult idea. Self-esteem always has a component of comparison. There is good
self-esteem and a bad self-esteem. It’s a self-valuation. If you are on the “bad”
or “poor” self-esteem side of things, you are told to go improve your
self-esteem, which usually means some sort of achievement. That is not the
easiest goal, if you are in a bad place (</span><span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.0pt;">Breines, J. G., & Chen,
S., 2012).</span><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Magicians are doubly hexed by this whole “self-esteem” notion. Some
magics, especially sigils, incorporate a substantive level of belief and
confidence-effects into the formula of efficacy. (Really, it’s a part of all
magic, it’s just that spirit-based magicians tend to want to downplay it.) Another
important point which is often given lip service is the notion of detachment. Peter
Carroll pretty clearly tried to appropriate Buddhist techniques, but that’s ok
since Aleister Crowley clearly tried to appropriate Hindu techniques via Yoga. Both
philosophies involve detachment, but why and how does this relate to the idea
of “Self-Love?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: gainsboro;">
<span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">People are generally
far more compassionate toward their friends than they are toward themselves.
So, we are going to “clone” ourselves and literally become our own best friend.
Through the magic of perceptual shifting, we can do this whenever we need to. Imagine
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">in all five of your senses</b> that you
are talking to a friend about their problems, limitations and failures. You
might notice that you take a certain tone, body language etc. Now, imagine a
friend talking to you about your problems and limitations, trying to work
on <i>solution orientated discourse</i>, not just complaining about the
problems and issues. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: gainsboro;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: gainsboro;">
<span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">You are working with
a friend who does not judge you and who truly wants to help you, on <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">actionable steps</b> that you can take.
Have a real discussion in your communication with your internal representation
of your friend. Notice in your meditation where you place them in space. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: gainsboro;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: gainsboro;">
<span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Now have a discussion
with <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">yourself. </b><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: gainsboro;">
<span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Does that situation
go as well as the constructive session with the compassionate friend? How does
your tone of voice change toward yourself?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: gainsboro;">
<span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Now, as a trick, try
to imagine a version of yourself AS the compassionate friend. Have a
conversation with yourself as that friend. Become that friend to yourself. Remember,
you have already imagined yourself as the compassionate friend, so why do you
think it is more difficult using your five senses to experience that version of
yourself? What other insights do you get from doing this?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: gainsboro;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: gainsboro;">
<span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">As a final part of
the exercise, try to have yourself talk to yourself from this position of compassion
and the perspective that everything is just an experience. How does reducing
that experience down to information input and not associating with that
experience help you detach, improve and grow?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "inherit","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Did you feel more motivated after
talking to your compassionate friend with a solution-oriented view, or would
you feel more motivated by talking to yourself in a harsh manner? Most people,
as it turns out, respond much better to the compassionate solution-orientated
approach (B<span style="background: white; color: #222222;">reines, J. G., &
Chen, S., 2012). This fact is not at all intuitive and goes against our
"go-to" approach in the west, aka Work Harder/Do Harder”. Breines
points out the fact that this harsh self-talk <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">increases</b> stress which actually <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">decreases </b>performance. In the worst cases, it becomes
crippling. </span></span><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Surely, when you do not have self-esteem, the language of
the Self changes. These might sound familiar, "It’s just how I
am", or worse, the "I can't". Some "experts" suggest
changing the “can't” to “won't”, but in reality, there are real limits to the pain-based
self-change ideals. Really, it all goes back to the cultural lie of “work
harder= success”. It is an American lie that infects our self-being.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "inherit","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br />
Psychology (and often, occultists) would often say you need high <u>self-esteem</u>
for magic. The rise of self-compassion (directly appropriated from eastern
religions) is, in fact, a reaction to the holes in the self-esteem theories. The
research says that self-esteem always involves comparison to other (internal or
external) reference points. There is always a measure of "how good you
feel about yourself" in relation to other states. The comparison eventually
leads to "not-as-good" ideas and voices. Essentially, the </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Times; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">comparisons effectively act to</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "inherit","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> tear down self-esteem if a person's situation changes.
Eventually this reduces self-confidence as well.</span><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "inherit","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Goldstein points out that "Because
one’s awareness is totally consumed by subjective reactions, one cannot step
back from the situation and adopt a more objective perspective. In contrast,
self-compassion requires that individuals do not over- identify with their
emotions, so that there is ‘‘mental space’’ in which to extend oneself kindness
and recognize the broader human context of one’s
experience" (Goldstein & Michaels, 1985; Scheff, 1981). </span><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "inherit","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br />
Neff goes on and says "Self-compassion, therefore, involves being touched
by and open to one’s own suffering, not avoiding or disconnecting from it,
generating the desire to alleviate one’s suffering and to heal oneself with
kindness. Self-compassion also involves offering nonjudgmental understanding to
one’s pain, inadequacies and failures, so that one’s experience is seen as part
of the larger human experience" (Neff, 2003).</span><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "inherit","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br />
Self-Pity then becomes the state in which we DO overly identify with a
subjective reaction (usually, at the basis of a comparison.) Let's leave
out the kindness explanations and describe this in a more Taoist way. Is
the experience which we are attached to any more intrinsically real then
the opposite experience? Are any of the experiences more valid in
themselves? No, they are all just experiences. Or, from the NLP
perspective, they are just information. Is experiencing the pain and suffering
any more valid than the joy? Not really, although the joy <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">feels better</i>, it is not more valid, as all experience is valid.</span><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "inherit","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br />
Self-pity is not adaptive to the situation and does not allow for a person to
make objective judgements about the situation, only subjective judgments about
themselves. The judgement does not mean it’s more valid in the pull-yourself-up-by-the-bootstraps
version of negative </span><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">reinforcement</span><span style="font-family: "inherit","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">, self-harshness, and self-pity.

and get off your ass!” but this harsh self-aggression only serves to disempower
the individual even further. On the flip side, one can easily see how a person
might "Get off their ass and DO" and it would only serve as a
temporary aid in their self-esteem. In fact, it might be just enough of a
boost that the person would stop taking in new information and thus, sooner or
later, crash.</span><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

pain to remind yourself to avoid similar situations) and the “move toward
positivity in self-analysis” methods. The bootstrap- “beat yourself up” method
might work in the short term, but in the long term it pretty consistently associates
the "ego" or self-voices with pain. The subconscious mind's
goal is the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">avoidance of pain</b> (aka <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">survival instinct</i>) so the real lesson it
learns is to ignore you eventually. Any changes you want to make = pain,

the inner critic is by far hugely destructive and it is something we struggle
with for a long time even as magicians. There are, of course, people who

within”, and many Silicon Valley companies have people meditate. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

is one of the hardest things to do. It is also (mostly) not possible. However,
taking a page from</span> <a href="http://amzn.to/1EunUEK"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Times; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Hands On Chaos Magic</span></a><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">, a few NLP

<span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">First, the Inner Critic
is more like a collective than a singular voice. You will have more than one of
them. If you have ever talked yourself out of an idea, or harshly
criticized yourself, you are well familiar with the Inner Critic.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: gainsboro;">
<span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Remember a time that
you were really harsh on yourself. Or, imagine what it is like when you are
overly harsh on yourself. Pay attention to your own body language, including posture,
eye movement, and other cues. Notice how you talk to yourself. Hear the
language you use, the tone, the pitch, the speed. Notice what pronouns you use
when you talk to yourself. Pay attention to how you structure statements and
the cadence of speech. You may notice that this originates within a certain
spatial area around you or from some specific position within your body. The
voice(s) will probably make you feel uncomfortable. KEEP GOING. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: gainsboro;">
<span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Move the voice to
your throat area. Notice any changes. Force the voice to use the “we” or “I”
pronoun. Notice how the voice changes. Despite the discomfort, ask the
voice <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">what positive purpose it serves.</i>

<span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Every internal voice,
even negative voices from the subconscious, will have a positive intention. Usually
the negative voices are trying to keep you away from some sort of pain.

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: gainsboro;">
<span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The hard part is that
you have to express compassion (just like you did above) with the voice and
even express non-judgmental love (regardless of what the voice says). Just
keep going and asking what is its’ positive intention, what is its positive
purpose? Eventually, while speaking as the “we/I”, it will give you an
answer. Often times, you will just <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">know</b>
the answer is true (the epiphany, or “ah-HA” moment).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: gainsboro;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: gainsboro;">
<span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Keep expressing that
compassion and love (it is self-love, hard love at this point). After the voice
softens, tell the voice you are willing to listen and work with it. That you
might not do what it is advising, but you will always listen and consider its
point of view. Notice how that changes the voice. Ask the voice, in compassion,
acceptance and non-judgmental love how you can best work with it. Make
suggestions, assure it that you will listen, ask it if there is a positive way
it can be heard while meeting its core purpose. As it is speaking about you via
the “I/We Voice”, remember, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">this is you
talking to you</b>. Compassion directed at the Voice is compassion
directed at Yourself.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: gainsboro;">
<span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> Keep expressing
that love and compassion towards the voice. Eventually it will reflect that same
love and compassion back to you.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: gainsboro;">
<span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Keep going and do not
stop until you get a change (and you will). It might take several
sessions to get to a point where you can really work with the voice, but you
will find out that it can bring tremendous changes to your day to day
existence.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

self-compassion work change you? Self-compassion towards your harshest
internal critics softens all of the voices. Your internal obstacles start
falling away. You gain room for growth and internalize positive motivational
stimuli. This is significant movement towards greater and greater
self-compassion and expression of self-love.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="vertical-align: baseline;">First, this is a draft article so I meet my self promise of getting a blog out every Monday( will correct it over the week). Next week, I have a final, so no posting. Second, I know this will generate extreme opinions, but do keep the comments civil.<br /><br /><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 16.560001373291px; white-space: pre-wrap;">I will probably say things that will offend some people in this posts, in fact, probably lots of people. I need to specify that this is just my opinion and that this is the opinion of a rather practical magician looking in.
I believe the continuous drive to remove magic from Wicca and Paganism in general is one of the worst tendencies I have encountered. This is even more confusing when witchcraft is presented as devoid of magic. I have said something similar for 15 years, and will take it a step further and say something even more controversial here.
Rituals for community building (as is “popular” right now), is mostly a bunch of bullshit. No punches pulled. If you have a guttural reaction to what I just said, realize that you are reacting to something that you identify with. I get it. Hear me out though. Read through the whole article.
The tendency to divorce magic from Wicca and Paganism in general stems from a greater cultural process of the demystification and mass production of, well, everything. If we look to business-thought leaders such as Weber and Benjamin, we can see a disturbing pattern.
Art’s connection to ritual, Benjamin asserts, gave it what he calls an “aura,” or a certain authenticity given by its particular creation in history and space. But new technologies such as film and photography lend to mass reproduction of art and thereby a demystification of the process of art’s creation. Benjamin writes: “that which withers in the age of mechanical reproduction is the aura of the work of art.”
Even now, the technologies have advanced so we can now have instant replication, and thus instant demystification of art. How does this apply to ritual? Weber noted that as art itself removed itself from ritual, that art became commoditized. It should be no secret that ritual itself should be commoditized. Defanging Witchcraft is the clear result of that commoditization. The ART of ritual becomes simply another mechanical reproduction.
Using the addictive energy of “Ritual Lite” to create community bonds is a sign of that commoditization. First, ritual lacking in any real substantial energetic power and presence is simply shared hypnosis based on well-known and well-conceived psychological processes involving shared belief states. Really, this is just the natural synching of emotion and intention that happens as a result of our mirror neurons. No, I do not believe all magic is “just” this at all, but 95% of public rituals, and 99.9999999% of all rituals used to “create community bonds” certainly are. Why? Why has this commoditization happened?
Before anyone thinks I am pointing to the pagan community and saying, “look how bad this sucks”, it is not a pagan or occult issue. It is a cultural issue of the west, in its full scope. Do Mega Stadium churches really allow for an experience of the divine in a personal way? Of course not, nor is that the purpose. The purpose is control and conformity.
Rituals which use cookie cutter forms with experts who are filling the role of priest or priestess but who have no belief in the supernatural whatsoever. Many of these individuals even openly display contempt for the concept of spiritual transformation. Those that use standardized ritual forms to make people “feel good” in a psychological sense, but do not allow the participants to reach psychological states where real transformation is possible, are just another mechanized control structure. They are simulations of real experience, just as the internet fills our lives with the ability to live vicariously in simulation. The infecting virus is the same.
Of course, one objection to what I am saying is that, well, you can be “spiritual” without magic. This is true in a way, if you define magic as primarily selfish. The techniques of genuine spiritual transformation and results-oriented magic are unbelievably similar. In fact, no real spiritual transformation can occur without changes in your life, so the separation becomes even thinner. Real spiritual work as real magical work has real consequences. If you have a profound spiritual experience, you will find you must change your life. It is that simple. What the simulacra allows, is the belief you had a real experience, with none of the profound after effects. The feel good, without the transformation.
Transformation means risk. Pain. Suffering. Growth. Real spiritual encounters, whether internal or external, causes these. Often those community rituals do, in fact, fit all the criteria of a drug without substance that is used to control and prevent any deeper level transformation. Justifying this under the flag of community building is even more onerous and self-serving. A community does not get built by a “community building” ritual or pandering to say what people want to hear about it. Community gets built by people GIVING A SHIT about each other. Authentically. Not via some self-serving causes a leader is pushing for. However, saying what people want to hear with the “feel good party” is enough for most people to buy in. Shit, I know my rituals beat the llama’s ass, but they aren’t feel good drugs, they are effective and they get results.
Experts peddling these superficial “feel good” rituals and lines of thinking should be ashamed, but I know they won’t be. Historically, we have to look both back at Jung and then at Joseph Campbell for part of the reduction of the mysterious to explainable forms. Ideally, the people using these forms might most honestly refer to themselves as secular humanists but that removes a whole sense of the romantic. It takes the luster away, and thus decreases some profit margins. I, who have studied psychology, NLP, and hypnosis in depth know that those tools ARE insanely useful and wonderful. I just wouldn’t try to package it as a religion. As L. Ron Hubbard said, “science fiction gets cents per world, religions make hundreds of dollars per word”.
This is the natural tendency of our culture and those “educators” to fill that role and by doing so, to fit within the greater cultural tendency so as to reap the profit. Wicca and Paganism without Magic is very profitable, as is sanitized Christianity. It is what people want to hear. No-effort community building and spiritual thrill-rides. Have all the fun you want, don’t worry, you do not have to risk anything.
It is also very far from what any of our ancestors believed.
That profit-motivation, is the white elephant in the room. Don’t get me wrong- I love money and money loves me, but I make sure my rituals are transformative, and that the techniques presented work. I also am quite honest about the fact I believe authors and presenters should be paid. The masking of this motivation under the guise of “communit”, while people are making money, well- it’s what B.T Barnum said- sell an idealized view of things, mask the real intention, and give people the “idea” of what they want. That is what is being offered. Simulation. Real spirituality and real people are messy, better to have a nice commoditized brand of a person.
Why do I care? I want to see a more magical world. I want to see and experience a world where I get to go to Wiccan and Pagan rituals and have the divine, as people understand them, connect through the people. I want to see communities where people do the hard work of giving a shit. Let’s not cheapen magic or community, and instead rebel against the flawed virus that passes as cheap control mechanisms. Let’s stop and think. Let’s make a fucking mess.
When I hear the tendency and drive of people to divorce magic from Paganism to a greater degree, it saddens me. Even some people trying to divorce the occult from witchcraft and Wicca. Sorry, Wicca is a derivative of the Golden Dawn via the OTO. It is steeped in occult history and lore. The original pioneers of Wicca that I have had the pleasure to have met have been deeply spiritual people. I could understand some of the logic around a lot of the rules and structure. Not everyone was meant to be the priest or priestess (nor should they be).
The problem with this commoditization is context. More correctly, the contextual meanings of a ritual/art/creation become removed and interchangeable, like parts on the assembly line, and are treated as similar things. Real community becomes a thing that develops via community building rituals where the individuals in that community are really interchangeable consumers of the festival culture. Is this “real” or simulation? Like Weber would say, we become the imprisoned in the machine of the bureaucracy we create, where everything seems devoid of actual life.
Fuck that, let's make things MESSY. Messy rituals where people have a real contact. Messy communities where we are fucking individuals who fight and piss and have personal issues and flaws and we fight to overcome them- sometimes failing, sometimes crying, but always owning our shit- not just grandstanding social issues divorced from our own problems.
Most of all let’s GIVE A SHIT, not a cursory “I support you” lip service nod to “community”. I dare you to ENGAGE. I dare you to GIVE A SHIT.
The funny thing about a drug is that the people on the drug are fast to protect their dealers. Certainly, I have heard some specific critiques mentioned about some presenters for the reasons that really get down to the lack of “spiritual” impact. Immediately, the loud voices drown the person out. It is not surprising really. I am sure I have people who will defend me too, although I am far more complicated and nuanced to really defend in that fashion. I am just a difficult snowflake and I am ok with that.
For the record, I have been saying shit like this for 15 years. If anyone thinks I haven’t, ask anyone who knows me. I have been basically promoting people DOING MAGIC, as opposed to service to the “community” for a long while. The reason is simple. Real magic forces you to further engage with reality.
Almost always, the service to the “community” when divorced from the magic, engages an idea and a type of thought form that, in itself, often leads nowhere. The simulation breaks down and ultimately reveals itself as hollow, usually at the point people who have been supporting the idea of “community” in pagan or occult circles have trouble paying rent or need to stay in the hospital for a while. Then it gets messy and inconvenient for people, and people move to the next voice that will “support” the idea of community because it is a pleasant fantasy to stay in.
At some point people have to get their hands dirty BUILDING shit. Protecting each other, reaching out to extend some practical help and support, not just pretty words with no useful action behind them. Things like sharing meals, offering to watch each other’s kids, going to visit each other in the hospital, helping out those in need who may be short on rent or going through hard times. Those people who tend to engage in magical pursuits and spiritual transformation, they might not have all of the answers, but they do tend to get their hands dirty as they tend to at least try to break free of this type of social control. Not saying every time, but more often than not, that is what I have seen. Diving into the magic starts to rebel against the prison of the simulation, and thus relationships become more authentic, choices become more authentic, life becomes messy and thus so much richer.

great marketing, which I should use ( and the truth is 300 I thought, I don't
really want someone else activating my herbs for me).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I probably will buy it, cause I am a

So I still haven't had time to write what I want on mirror magic, which it is what it is. <br />
<br />
So every spring, I get a million requests to do love spells. I love doing love spells to bring new love into everyones life. It adds to the upward spiral. Unfortunately, usually what people want is to get a specific person back. Sure, sure, sure the magic can work, but often there should be a whole bunch of questions about why. I am still time crunched.<br />
<br />
Before we start, I know many pagans and occultists would classify such magic as strictly black magic. I don't really believe in white or black magic, but it is certainly coercive and it is usually an uphill battle. Why?<br />
<br />
Well why did the relationship end? People sometimes know this answer, but often, it is the belief that "DARK MAGIC" casters will get you instant success. That's bullshit. These types of spells are difficult, and for the most part fleeting. The question MUST be asked....<br />
<br />
Seriously, why did it end? Relationships rarely just end, do they. Rarely do people just decide, oh man, fuck it with no reason. It comes down to what needs were unmet, what was unsaid, how did they feel or not feel? <br />
<br />
It comes down to the experience of you and the story of the relationship. Realize, that does not mean one person is right or wrong, or that there is any correctness to the perception, but Stories and the story a person holds of a relationship, is VERY Powerful.<br />
<br />
The stronger the story, and the more emotive it is, the more the resistance.<br />
<br />
Here's the full disclosure. Have I done ritual magic and succeeded at getting people back together. Yes for a while, and it always requires maintenance work (AKA boosting). Constant bleeding in of energy. Now, have I done this type of magic for myself. NO. Simply put, if someone does not want to be with me: FUCK THEM (I am happily with a person who I do love). But seriously, as you do more and more self-esteem work, really, shouldn't this be the answer even if it is an amicable split? Now that isn't to say there aren't relationships where I was in the wrong, but even the concept of right and wrong does not matter. It's how well you can stay connected. Once severed, what comes back often looks like a frankenstein echo of the past.<br />
<br />
When people come to me and say, I don't know why it ended or why the other person left, do I believe them? Let's all start with honesty, a relationship probably ended for a good reason(s). Those reasons were there before any "bring them back" spell. The anger or frustration or unmet needs will still be there, regardless of whether or not a "bring back" spell is cast.<br />
<br />
So you hire someone to get the person back, but does that release all the negative emotions acquired along the way? And a spell like that might last only until there is a reminder of why the breakup occurred. Most of the time the reminder occurs well before the person actually gets back together with a person, it's in that phase when they start thinking, you know, I had a lot of good times with this person and then boom, a person says something or does something that really reminds the other person of the whole spiral of why it ended..... <br />
<br />
Why does this happen? Well, the person requesting the service hasn't changed. What is a better way to start? <br />
<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Healing work on yourself. No seriously, on both you and the other person (if that is even possible).</li>
<li>Detachment and Perspective: Detachment.... WHAT really Andrieh? But ..."love" this person. Love is a funny thing, isn't it. Feelings can be quite intense. Detachment allows you to ask the serious questions needed to go forward with this type of work</li>
</ol>
<br />
<br />
Do I love the person, or do I love the feeling... More so, does this person represent something I love (security, care-giving, material support) or that I would really, really like to avoid (loneliness, isolation, etc). The feelings are powerful and tremendously moving, but detachment, that really lets you distill down what is the need that is getting expressed by the desire to get back with the person. I believe it is absolutely critical to understand that need. If it is a self-esteem issue, then let's work on the self-esteem issue, because a relationship based on those kinds of needs usually does have problems. <br />
<br />
<br />
Some fast Detachment techniques: <br />
Look at the situation with you and the other person from 500 ft up (literally imagine that). Visualize the timeline of how things happened through the relationship from the 3rd person 500 ft perspective and write down the details. Try to do this without emotion, just to see what insights you might get.<br />
<br />
Also try to Meditate, allowing the intense feelings to wash over you and fade so you can see what is underneath... That is easier said then done, but often when you meditate, letting the intense emotions drip out into the ground, more intense emotions that get to the root of the need pop up. (I could write on this on and on and on ... and will). Just see, feel, and hear the intense emotions draining down into the earth. Use a divination to get further, and often uncomfortable insights about the situation. Meditate on those insights.<br />
<br />
If you're into the macabre, try this Buddhist one from a friend: <br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="background-color: #f6f7f8; color: #373e4d; font-family: helvetica, arial, 'lucida grande', sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.28; white-space: pre-wrap;">imagine your flesh falling off..ur a skeleton- imagine it white/glowing then imagine it turn to dust... </span></blockquote>
<span style="background-color: #f6f7f8;"><span style="color: #373e4d; font-family: helvetica, arial, lucida grande, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 1.28; white-space: pre-wrap;">Well yeah that </span><span style="line-height: 16.3839988708496px; white-space: pre-wrap;">definitely</span><span style="line-height: 1.28; white-space: pre-wrap;"> promotes detachment.</span></span></span><br />
<div>
<span style="background-color: #f6f7f8; color: #373e4d; font-family: helvetica, arial, 'lucida grande', sans-serif; line-height: 1.28; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
Now if it is truly, there is a connection, before any magic we must ask: <br />
<br />
What went terribly wrong, if it is not a need based reaction, what happened?<br />
<br />
Sometimes the answer from that detached point of view is in fact external events. Things like death in the family, job loss or other life altering situations, can really fuck with the psychology of the person. Things spiral and the relationship ends, or it just so shakes them up that it ends.<br />
<br />
Sometimes the realization is that the person was never the person you imagined them to be, sometimes well they were just not so attached... There are lots of variations, but the greater detachment allows for clarity and healing. Again, I mostly believe that is a first step. Sure, sure sure, I can do magic and many people will claim it is permanent when they do a "get back together" spell (those spell casters are totally fucking lying, the permanence depends on you), but the truth is that magic is just a push. It gets in the subconscious mind of the people and mixes up the energies and potentially memory weighting of the person to favor the connection. That does not mean the original problems go away either. Oh sure, you can get with the person.<br />
<br />
If you keep doing love spells on the person, it becomes like a binding. In reality, it's more like an artificially created emotional response. They become something like a shell.<br />
<br />
That's right a shell. <br />
<br />
You get what you want, they react appropriately, and all is good right? Kinda like a robot or android. Sounds kinda empty, and that again points to why the self-work and healing is needed before the decision to do a "get back together" spell. 9.99/10 I would bet most people would do the self-healing and say, F@#@ getting back together and instead, as I recommend, opt for drawing new love to their life.<br />
<br />
After all that, perhaps spellwork of this type is the right answer, but usually not.<br />
<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Let’s start with an assumption.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Let’s assume that the Subconscious Mind and
the Conscious Mind dichotomy is mostly a story.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>That story, from a radically different point of view, is the Aura.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Of course, all of those terms are horribly
conflicted even within themselves, but they do offer a starting point.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
These terms are metaphors, which
are simply information patterns which describe certain qualities of interaction
in the creation of ‘Self’ to ‘Other’, and the creation of ‘Self’ to ‘Universe’.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Even the ending point of where the Aura or
individual Subconscious ends may in fact be arbitrary.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In a way, the Far Eastern and highest forms
of Kaballah mostly seem to lead towards that unified approach.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
I am not, for the purposes of this
course, interested in diving into philosophy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>That would go on forever, but I do have to make that assumption that
they are both just information streams describing similar processes. If that is
true, there are a lot of testable and interesting hypothesis that become
available.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
First,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>a change to the Subconscious Mind must
result in a change to the Aura.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This
idea, I have personally tested numerous times.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I get a sensitive medium to assist me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I have them scan the person beforehand and take notes regarding their
initial perceptions. I then hypnotize someone and use NLP to change things
around in their mind.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have the
sensitive come back and write down any changes in their perceptions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>More often then not, depending on the
metaphors the sensitive is using, they mostly “get the gist”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The language can be very different.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Instead of “hypnotic triggers”, they might
tell me how I “removed soul debt” or “got rid of energy blocks”.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Likewise, a change to the energy
system must result in a change to the cognitive structures of the mind.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When I do energy work on a person, I define success
in terms that there must be observable behavioral changes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When I have done energy healings on a person
and could follow up, this consistently occurs, although there seems to be a
time delay depending on the style of ritual work (I will cover that in a
minute).<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Keep in mind, the subconscious mind
has A LOT to do with the body.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In fact, most
of the body’s biological processes are regulated by the Subconscious Mind.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A change to the body, means the Subconscious
Mind will interpret and react (and may keep some or most of that hidden form
the Conscious Mind).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Likewise, a change
to the body will result in a change the Aura as well. If you have ever done
serious health work, and then have backslidden, people can tell that’s the
case.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
In a way these are all just
information metaphors for systems.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
One of the problems with Magic and also
with Life, is that the Subconscious Mind has a tendency to distort, manipulate,
destroy or create information when transmitting to match the current tendencies
and patterns already established.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
goal of the Subconscious Mind metaphor is to keep us alive and safe.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Think about that.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
When we set our mind to do
something, if it is not in alignment with past things, the Subconscious Mind
tends to sabotage us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So we go out to be
confident, but we have experienced past rejections and pain, so our intentions
send out mixed physical signals. The information sent out is not a clear signal
with even the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">physical </i>senses. If the
Subconscious Mind is acting in observable ways to act like a filter with direct
connections, we must assume it is acting this way with the multitude of psychic
information sources as well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

Likewise, when we talk about
receiving, that information is distorted, manipulated and controlled to maintain
a status quo. The information coming in from physical and psychic sources is
distorted, manipulated, created or destroyed to fit the current patterns of
information in the Subconscious Mind. This is why most rituals seem to “have no
effect.” Simply put, the signal IN has to be stronger than the information
pattern (or energy) of what is currently inside.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Signal clarity and strength <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">matter</b>.<o:p></o:p></div>

I had a client that I knew needed

see which things I have that seem to resonate with the work. I came up with the
Arch Angel Gabriel- somewhat because I <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">know</i>
Gabriel and somewhat because I know the person has responded well to angelic

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Chaos magic, in general, de-emphasizes
divination as a skill.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In some cases
rightfully so, but from an information/energy sorcery POV it is absolutely
critical to have receptive skills, and more to the point, to recognize that you
already have receptive skills or at least your subconscious mind does.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>If you
think about language and information transmission, it is an interpreted
construct.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now, without the physical
cues, information that travels into the psyche from outside sources has to have
to have an internal model. That internal model is, of course, comprised from
internal metaphors and organization.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Think about that for a minute.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
This is why no two diviners ever

well be a message, but <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">it is impossible
to separate the message from the messenger</i>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

as easily adapted to the person the message is for.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>If we have
an internal structure for something, our Subconscious Mind does comparisons
against the vast information it has available about one topic and then presents
it to the Conscious Mind in a sort of “IT is <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">This</i>” label.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That label may
or may not be correct in terms of psychic phenomenon, but more often then not,

I ask them, do you work with Papa Legba?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Why? Because <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">my</b> Subconscious Mind

<div class="column">
I am still working on the mirror essay and life is moving a million miles a minute..., but I previously had this in my files. Given how much I have done with my Great Grandfather (if you have been reading on Facebook you know), it's appropriate for me to post this. This is how I was taught to do it as a starting point. Haters, your comments just won't be approved so don't bother.</div>
<div class="column">
<br /></div>
<div class="column">
<br /></div>
<div class="column">
A lot of times, in my work as a Houngan and a Magician, I can honestly say that ancestor work can produce miracles. I am less of a Vodou liturgist, and more of a Magician, and I have seen real miraculous things happen when you really get it right with the ancestors. This is from getting a job, to better social contacts, healings; lots of tangible and fast results. I am amazed at how many things the ancestors can really help with, when the altar and frame which you work with them is zinging with energy. Of course, this is merely my opinion. <br />
<br />
For me personally, some of my ancestors really have a lot of magical knowledge. Personally I have found that techniques such as self- hypnosis, meditation skills, and other forms of quieting the head allow for a better communication stream. This is a lot of what my book, <a href="https://www.blogger.com/href=%22http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0738715085/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=0738715085&linkCode=as2&tag=andrivitim-20&linkId=MOQZHR6L4UZG6GSS" target="_blank">Hands-On Chaos Magic</a>, is about: the basics to intermediate level magic, and what I teach in public (and I do ancestor classes fairly often). Often, when I am sitting down at the ancestor altar, when things are right, I will get results right away, or streams of information; including ideas for practical magical techniques, and more.<span style="font-family: 'Courier'; font-size: 10.000000pt;"><br /></span>
<br />
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/href=%22http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0738715085/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=0738715085&linkCode=as2&tag=andrivitim-20&linkId=MOQZHR6L4UZG6GSS" target="_blank">Hands-On Chaos Magic</a> will cover the techniques, but not the framework for Vodou service and working within the system. Now personally, I have found that talking to the ancestors is much less about talking, but "vibing". If you are in that quiet center place, it's much easier to communicate. In my experience, the words have always been less important in than that the vibration is right. The most helpful vibe, to me, has been one of gratitude and love. <br />
<br />
I will give you a couple examples of getting to that most helpful vibe. How can one get to that centered place more easily where communication is possible? First, realize that each action should be done with intention. What this means, in my humble opinion, is that it's not just putting the food down on the altar; it’s putting the food down with conscious, intentional love, and gratitude for all that came before you. A simple set of techniques helps me with this process. First, I will use various techniques to center and ground. IF I am going to do more a magical operation with the ancestors, a white bath is often a good idea. My ancestors personally like doing magic with me, so this does happen. </div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="page" title="Page 2">
<div class="layoutArea">
<div class="column">
<br />
<br />
While I am serving them, I will breath as deeply as I can, remembering times that I had with some ancestors that really connect to the love of family. I recall memories from childhood, conversations, whatever I can possibly remember. The goal is to let those feelings of love and gratitude for those memories really fill up your body with that good feeling. After feeding them, they will often ask me to sit down and listen, where they will give me good advice. My ancestors are a varied lot, some have great business advice, and some are great magicians. I maintain that vibe of love and gratitude through the conversation and connection (and this always seems to work a lot better). Really, holding a vibe like this is as simple as concentrating on the memories, and bringing all the information up through your imagination. As long as you are really getting into it, and it feels good, your aura will vibrate correctly. If you know songs for the ancestors, and can keep that love and gratitude vibe, it tends to go doubly well. Really, I extensively cover how to create, hold, and maintain a vibe and an auric vibration in '<a href="https://www.blogger.com/href=%22http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0738715085/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=0738715085&linkCode=as2&tag=andrivitim-20&linkId=MOQZHR6L4UZG6GSS" target="_blank">Hands On Chaos Magic</a>' through multiple chapters of information. Since the purpose is more to get the basic techniques of magical operations in the public eye, I did not specifically give examples relating the techniques to ancestral work, but it's all there. <br />
<br />
It is possible, to contact one ancestor at a time but that would be another post. This does use some of the techniques I learned while in Haiti and using the Kardec systems of mediumship (for more information check out <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allan_Kardec">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allan_Kardec</a>) as well as the Kardecian Africanized practices that make up a Spiritual Mass. Often, if you have an Ancestral staff, merely tapping the staff 3 times, and calling the person's name in love is enough (if you have a connection, and stay in that centered loved based place) to feel their presence. <br />
<br />
In a lot of ways, it's easy to misinterpret the communications, so do double check things with divination. I often will combine the Tarot with the Ancestral work to give you a set of techniques to help work with the ancestral currents and fine tune your communicative abilities. When you are starting out and even later, it is very difficult to separate the message from the messenger. I know some mediums who will claim to this, but that is really a misunderstanding on their part (or worse). It still must be filtered through the subconscious mind even for the medium.<br />
<br />
With good connections to the ancestors, miracles are possible. That does not mean that you don't have to put the work in. Asking the ancestors for millions of dollars and then sitting on your butt probably will not fly. However, I have seen them, and people who have worked with me to get their ancestral frame working right, get results very quickly, and nothing beats the real sense of peace and love that comes from getting it right with them. I do classes in the mid-west (Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, and Chicago) on this topic on a semi-regular basis. <br />

<span style="font-family: 'Cambria'; font-size: 12.000000pt; font-weight: 700;">Setting Up your Altar
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Cambria'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">The way I leaned how to do ancestor work in Haiti and the way I teach
ancestor work is through a white table method of work.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Cambria'; font-size: 12.000000pt; font-style: italic;">What you will need:

<span style="font-family: 'Cambria'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">Vegetable oil (Easier to obtain and acceptable, though Van Van oil would be
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Cambria'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">an even better choice)
</span><br />
</li>
<li style="font-family: 'Symbol'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Cambria'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">Small table, shelf, dresser, cabinet top (Obviously the more you want to
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Cambria'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">display on your alter as far as pictures and heirlooms will dictate how large

</li>
<li style="font-family: 'Cambria'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Cambria'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">Optional, but preferred: Mix Florida Water, Water, and some of your
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Cambria'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">Urine. Mix this in a bucket and rinse the white tablecloth with it (this does
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Cambria'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">not smell). Allow the tablecloth to dry in the sun.
</span><br />
</li>
<li style="font-family: 'Cambria'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Cambria'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">Place the white tablecloth over the area to be used.

</li>
<li style="font-family: 'Cambria'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Cambria'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">Get four small stones from around your house. Clean them by scouring
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Cambria'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">them with salt. Rinse them off well (Salt is not good to use for the spirits of
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Cambria'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">the dearly departed). Then place one at each corner of your alter.
</span><br />
</li>
<li style="font-family: 'Cambria'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Cambria'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">It is common in Voudou practice to baptize ritual objects. This is a ritual
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Cambria'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">method of giving them names. You can take a sprig of basil and splash a
baptism onto your water glass, giving it a unique name as you do.
Sigilized names work well, or even something like “Mama Aqua Brings
Spirits”. The name should be unique; by naming it the glass becomes a
unique thing. It is now a powerful portal between you and your ancestors.
Place this glass with water onto the center of the alter and add a sprinkle
of Florida Water, white wine, white rum, or a little anise.
</span><br />
</li>
<li style="font-family: 'Cambria'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Cambria'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">Into a glass candleholder, place some earth or small rocks from around
your home and a few grains of salt (Just a few grains of salt to remove
negativity). Take a white candle, and with pure vegetable oil or Van Van
oil, rub the candle from the middle to the top then from the middle to the
bottom. As you rub the candle direct your energy through your hands and
pray for spiritual awareness. Put the candle firmly into the candle holder
and place it in front of the glass of water.

<li style="font-family: 'Cambria'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Cambria'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">Optional: Place pictures of your ancestors or articles from your ancestor’s
onto the altar. Place any skull or dead imagery onto the alter as well.</span></li>
<li style="font-family: 'Cambria'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Light the candle and call out to your ancestors to come and commune
with you. If you are familiar with chakra work, you can also open all
chakras before you communicate with your ancestors. Other blog posts here go over some
ways to do this.</span></li>
<li style="font-family: 'Cambria'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Give the ancestors some bread. A cup of coffee with sugar and black.
Other good offerings include: Rice, rice and beans, sweets, chicken
roasted corn, grilled peanuts, fresh coconut. Ask your ancestors; they
will happily let you know. Avoid salt in the food as it can take energy </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">from spirits and you are using the food to provide them with a source </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">of energy (this is a point of contention within some houses and sites). </span></li>
<li style="font-family: 'Cambria'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Take a little time to sit at your altar, quite your mind and listen for </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">messages that they may want to give you. We'll cover some
mediumship techniques in the show. </span></li>
</ol>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Cambria;">Of course, this is just a start. We covered this with a hypnotic meditation on Deeper Down the Rabbit hole, so if you want a little more info <a href="http://deeper-down-the-rabbit-hole.com/2012/10/episode-79-revisiting-ancestors/" target="_blank">Click here</a> and kick back and listen. Deeper Down will come back, I think sooner then later (and yes, with me).</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Cambria;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Cambria;">For food for though, I would say don't go to the ancestor altar asking for things right away. Go to develop and learn about them, and yourself. Go for a real relationship, then it is easier to ask for things.</span></div>

They did it to all the people who were disposable “fix the problem”. It is bullshit, but oh well.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;">They really didn’t show the full rituals. The first was a New Orleans Style ritual to the Baron and his Wife to help remove the dead and more so really give the dead compassionate release. The Dead Files Did not show the possession Apparently at one point, I was crying for a while. The camera men and woman had NEVER seen that from anyone in any of the cleansing, and most said they could feel the emotions. We had laid out a METRIC shit ton of food for the dead too, and candles.</span><br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The second part is a planetary archangel ritual, where all 7 planetary archangels were called into the house and then called to give blessings into a 7 planetary archangel incense. They only showed 2 angles, I went across 7 planets using Michael as Sun ( sorry thats where I put him). I do have the whole ritual written out, and I have worked it before… Its a fantastic ritual that brings all planets into balance and their highest aspirations. It also happens to work real well for home excorcisms, banishing the stuck feeling, or as a jumping off point towards really powerful Bornless ones or HGA work. Its not quite as “stiff” as most ceremonial magic operations and involves alot of training pre-steps and progressive training to work the ritual. Pretty much I worked on that ritual for years and theres certain ways to make it work through proper training. I have done this with Jason Colwell, and we had so many weird occurrences happen when we did it. EVENTUALLY I will get that ritual out there, but you can see part of it above.</span></div>

Of course, they didn’t bother to mention that, but I did go the extra mile for them. So if you have a house situation, like that one, want shit gone? I can take care of and get your house back to normal. I am happy to fly out to various places ( and we can work out the cost).</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

I know alot of what you see on TV is fake, but I made sure it was real for these people. I might have disagreed with Amy on some of her impressions and what was there ( there was stuff there, just not really everything was as bad as it was made to seem), but the angel work I did there did do the intended effect which was to heal the living and the negative vibes in the house. </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 16.560001373291px; white-space: pre-wrap;">They had real pain, and that helped to clear and heal it. Hell the dead slave problem was enough to cause that. I was just happy I could get their home back to a home. That's how I roll.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a fun time, Amy at least said "For this you need a chaos magician, they are truly powerful, and I only call them out in the worst of cases".. Haha... see with all the hate blogs we get, at least somebody respects our "Power".</div>

<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Because these are skills people do not have in the modern age. This is to the point that Fortune 500 companies are teaching people mindful meditation to actually try to help people’s focus. Any magical system requires intense focus, pointed training of will, and fierce imagination in the senses. People do not, in the modern world, come prepackaged with this. Skipping all the training and building of that, the magic probably will not work. Sorry that is not what you want to hear. That is the problem, so often in the magical community, the business of the occult is telling people mainly what they want to hear. I am convinced of that.</span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

In fact, everything attacks focus. So that “obtuse not getting to it” is your mind training to even have any life success. Think I am kidding on this point, read any book on business success. Focus and attentiveness, in a culture of information overload, is one key to success.</span></div>

These are life skills, not just magical skills. These are skills which, not surprisingly, separate the successful from the non-successful. It really should not be a surprise that they are needed for magic since practical magic really is </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">creating life better</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">.

Magic has never worked that way and you get “Nothing Sir”. Most likely these are the same people who blame their co-workers for their lack of promotion, blame external circumstances for everything in their life, and blame anyone they can to avoid self-reflection.</span></div>

Getting the different trance states down, and really getting focus, probably ⅕ as per Peter Carroll... maybe ½ once you're in the magical zone. Of course, sigils aren’t the only thing you use. People who claim 90-100% success, eh they are engaged in sucking their own cock… and are building a myth to sell shit. With the training, the problem with sigils and magic in general is that it does work - just the wording or way it comes about disguises the result. Sure it comes, in a way you don’t expect, or you make the attribution to your personal life skills not the magic because they are so intertwined. </span></div>

Shit do financial magic, and confront the fact you have been conditioned with shit beliefs about money. It happens. The sacrifice of transformation is present, and there is an exchange (just not the traditional views of what sacrifices are). Of course there are authors that say no, the sacrifice aspects are non-existent, but I have made a New Year’s resolution to no longer argue with idiots, so I won’t be naming them.</span></div>

If I fully want to embrace INFLUENCE magic, this is a needed and important pre-requisite. These soft skills directly improve all the magic on those lines in a synergy that acts as a multiplier of the magical success, and is not independent of the magic.

<br />
<br />
It’s in adopting that philosophy applied to our self-transformation and magic, that the magic we plant has the greatest chance to grow. Even the basic skills of focus and imagination directly tie into those life skills.<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="margin-bottom: 6pt; margin-top: 6pt;">
<br />
<br />
Of course, this is why so many authors keep talking about life-skills. Life Skills are an easy topic to boost magical results. It’s a feel good fix that is an easy, let’s get a boost and make people feel good. Whether or not some occult experts are also experts on training those life-skills aspect should be a matter of debate per author. Given the over-the-top emotionally stunted screaming to defend oneself that already occurs, it may not be one that the community can realistically have at this time. The secret truth of magic is probably something like this:</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="margin-bottom: 6pt; margin-top: 6pt;">
<span style="vertical-align: super;">“ You could have only one little enchantment or technique and probably get to where you want to in life, if you have real dedication to the process” - Andrieh Vitimus … go ahead you can quote me on that. <br /><br />Magicians studying magic for its own sake, in general, have multiple goals. Yes life enhancement, but also.. this game. The game of life… the WHY, the How of magic. It’s like a pet obsession, more than a quick fix. Know what happens when real magicians who </span><br />
<span style="vertical-align: super;">....are not trying to sell you something and </span><br />
<span style="vertical-align: super;">. . . unlike those who make it sound easier than it is do when they start to make a real big life change,</span><br />
<br />
Those magicians probably sit down with a project planner and map out the steps they need to take, just like you would. The difference is that the magician will use their techniques to build fortitude and a little luck in the process, using their own skillset as the canvas to work the results. Again, LIFE transformation, not magic pills. See the magic pills for what they are, bullshit marketing crap peddled to unwary or entitled people done with questionable ethical ideals. </div>
<div dir="ltr" style="margin-bottom: 6pt; margin-top: 6pt;">
<span style="vertical-align: super;"> Make the paints of your life, with the knowledge you learn, and use the magic as part of process that paints your life adventure.</span></div>

<span style="line-height: 137%;">What does intelligence look like
from within a totally different perspective from our space and time existence?
First, causality and story seem to be tied to time. We tell stories, and those
stories that make sense generally fall into place in linear time within the
rules of time and space as we know it. We relate to the beings within stories, and understand them through that metaphor. This does not mean that they
perceive or interact with us in that sort of way, or that the interaction looks
like human intelligence. I do not know what this intelligence looks like, but I
can say with a different set of Time-Space perspective, it cannot look like ours.</span><br />

exchange, and the Space-Time quandary in part II, but now we get to some more
interesting facts about offerings. If the magician forms a Space-Time bridge
through active imagination, and links it to a physical altar, it does seem like
the spirit world can do wonders and miracles. Sure, the offerings add to this
resonance, but how?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 137%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 137%;">
In <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #1155cc;">Hands On Chaos Magic,</span></i></b> on
page 334, I covered many techniques using Seed Crystals, and gave a rather
intense explanation of how spirits could interact. Like most of the secrets
revealed in plain sight in <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #1155cc;">Hands On Chaos Magic</span></i></b>, if you skim
it, you miss it, and it only makes sense if you DO it. (Which also means those
charming few who skimmed through on their way to trashing an Amazon review
missed quite a bit.) The idea is simple. It’s how you make chocolate, steel,
and sour dough bread. In Cat’s Cradle (<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Vonnegut</i>),
this is used to create water that freezes at 109 degrees F, because a different
crystalline structure of water was introduced to the water.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 137%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 137%;">
The idea is that adding a few
crystals, of a previous batch of crystals, to a mixture of melted solid as it is
cooling forces the melted solid to form in the same way as the crystals. I
postulated in <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #1155cc;">Hands On Chaos Magic</span></i></b> that many of the ATR talismans work in
this way. It’s also the way the Goetia seems to work with the different metal
talismans. Feed the talismans the right offerings and it’s like adding melted
liquid that solidifies, as part of what the entity can use at the Time-Space
juncture of the altar. Of course, that means it has to be the right mixture of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Chi </i>to solidify the essence with the
spirit.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 137%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 137%;">
A few interesting things happen
with this process though. It’s not that you get the “pure entity”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No. You get something like a <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">third thing</i>. You and the crystals form a
3rd structure, one that you interact with. In the ATR, we always refer to <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">our</i> spirits, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">our</i> Legba, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">our</i> Ogun etc.
In Haitian Vodou, each spirit has various aspects associated with them, much
like different crystal elements. So we know “Ogun is Ogun”, but there are slight
variations between one person’s Ogun and another person’s, much like the general
crystal “type” and the crystals we make. The ATR do not talk about “<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">the</i> spirit”, they talk about <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">your own personal spirits</i>. The language
is important and it encapsulates a few things. Your Ogun is not my Ogun, even
though they are Ogun. Likewise, your Paimon is not my Paimon. This is true for
many spirits. That is important.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Outside
of some politics, everyone has their own set spirits they have built up.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 137%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 137%;">
Now the thing about that is that <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">what that entity is</i> is no longer “pure”,
having “mixed” or “bonded” with the practitioner. Once a Space-Time bridge is
formed, and the spirit has significant Chi, they <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">can</b> act independently of the magician, however that spirit is actually
interdependent on “their” magician. We talk to a spirit, we communicate with
them. Isn't it possible they develop personality as they grow in the Space-Time
juncture? Where do you think that personality comes from? Certainly some of the
personality <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">direction</i> may have been
part of the seed crystal, but I bet a bunch more comes from the magician.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 137%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 137%;">
The entity that interacts with us
and others is the part which exists outside the Time-Space constraints we live
in, and has anthropomorphized and personalized attributes that are built via
the ongoing relationship and interactions with the magician. Perhaps the spirit
world gets something out of this, but who knows. This seed crystal metaphor
seems to be a type of symbiotic intelligence that develops. In a way, it also
explains why “good” spirits can do bad things in the hands of an ambivalent
person who does feed the spirit correctly (adding the right “liquid Chi” to
harden and give form). The morals, (a great deal of the personality), and more
is built with the relationship with the magician and sustained by the physical
bridge that magician maintains (the altar, talismans etc.)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In fact, the more Chi/quintessence/vitae the
spirit has at the juncture point, the more personified it may seem (as there is
more of the magician infused into its’ essence). In a group context, an entity
will take on properties of the group and primary care taker.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 137%;">
So are the offerings enough?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yes and No, actually. There is a lot to be
said about the offerings, but a good deal of the strength in this process
depends on the magician to go out and get a <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">clear
crystal.</i> No, I don’t mean going down to your local shop and picking up a
chunk of clear quartz, I mean getting a clear/clean vibrational <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">base </i></b>for
“your” spirit. (Although you can certainly use a physical piece of clear quartz
to be a touch point for the Space-Time juncture that you are building).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is why so many books have detailed the
exact ritual for a summoning.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Generally, the magician does not get this right and it takes several
different attempts. In all actuality, there is a second <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Space-Time juncture</i> that is formed outside of any altar, and that <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Space-Time juncture</i> is in the physical
brain of the magician (neuron changes), that solidify and harden around the
memories associated with interactions with an entity. Yes, to change those
neurons takes about 30 days. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And, guess
what? People will start getting greater results if they have basic techniques
down (like those you will find in <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #1155cc;">Hands On Chaos Magic</span></i></b>). That is
probably the most effective way to create <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">real
relationships</i> with your spirits.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 137%;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 137%;">
If you have really read Bardon, you
can probably tell he has a very different method, and I have been accused of
using this method more often than not. Bardon clearly sends his consciousness
to where the spirit is, and directly pulls the “crystal flakes” to the physical
world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Of course, to “<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">go where the spirits go</i>” means to be
able to exist without time or space, and also to be able to get back again. This
is undoubtedly what shamans have done for thousands of years and then still,
they would build up their spirit allies using similar methods.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 137%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 137%;">
If the physical talisman is strongly
imbued with a clear information pattern, the process of growing happens <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">fast</b>. This depends almost entirely on
the skill of the magician. Otherwise, the magician is interacting with the
pattern (<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">spirit</i>) with a higher
noise-to-signal ratio which slows down the process of the seed crystal growth,
personification, and power. Clear crystal and signal plus lots of Chi =
miracles happen. Remember, intimately and literally, the entity is part of the
magician’s energy, brain, and probably even (in many cases) soul.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 137%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 137%;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Why don’t magicians get rolled?</b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 137%;">
If it was only about the amount of
attention given to a spirit, your average Christian should be able to easily
roll any magician in a conflict of wills. The Christian god gets tons of
attention.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The truth is usually the
opposite, that the magician is doing the rolling. Why?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 137%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 137%;">
Because the magician is better able
to form a Space-Time juncture point, and then build it up with the right
vibrational vitae (offerings or directed energy work) to create a superior
juncture point.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This symbiotic
intelligence is why I think you can have two different spirits of the same type
working against each other in a contest of wills. Some magicians are just
better at infusing the juncture point with clear information, and form.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 137%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 137%;">
There may be effects that depend on
how much thought energy an entity has taken, and it may be possible for an
entity to have a spiritual reservoir. Hell, it may be possible for it to move <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Chi </i>around from one juncture point to
another (although I think this would depend on the stories around that entity).<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 137%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 137%;">
But still, the personification and
empowerment of the entity happens better if the magician has clear thought and
energy while doing the work. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">EVERYTHING

If you have really read the last 3
blogs and really have read <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #1155cc;">Hands On Chaos Magic</span></i></b>, there is a
tremendous amount of tangible magic hidden here. While I am not going to go
into how to actually feed your particular talisman or entity, there is more
than enough to think about as far as how you might go about doing just that. If
you add a few points, such as the fact that servitors that are backed up and fed
in a similar way <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">show similar patterns of
growth and physical manifestation.</i> Just think on it. Then go out and TRY
it! Remember, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">BE THE MAGIC! </i><o:p></o:p><br />

While my assumption is that they exist, they cannot exist in any way comparable to our existence, meaning calling them “real” falsely implies anthropological traits that we ourselves apply.</span></div>

<li dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; list-style-type: disc; margin-left: 31px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.8719999313354452; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

Usually this is a human magician, but certain classes of spirits may work independent of people by being tied to certain places, plants, etc. The religious will take open offense to this assumption, but in test after test after test, this is how in practice I have seen it work 99.9999999999999% of the time. That’s a hell of a lot of 9’s and when you take the romanticism out of the equation, I have kinda found this to be the case with everyone I have ever trained. BTW, that does not mean, we might not start aka at birth with some ties to certain spirits at birth. So maybe there is room for spirituality after all! :)</span></div>

If you’re going to say we created deity in platitudes, you should back it up by saying we don’t have a soul at the same time and ANY metaphor for anything spiritual is just that, just a metaphor working on your brain. That’s what the Church of Satan does, and I can respect that. So let’s go back to these assumptions. One can, right off the bat, argue the Jungian perspective and claim we create them so they do not exist. </span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

The mere fact that so many people can claim that physical offerings enhance results is the major problem to this idea. Either we are all corrupting our Meta-belief system with an insidious mind virus (that offerings are required) or the Jungian principle of “all in your head” simply fails to model the phenomenon correctly. Likewise, if the biological exchange model was sufficient, service to a spirit should qualify as enough to get suitable results (btw service does enhance results too, just not as greatly as physical offerings). This quandary suggests something more is afoot then the models allow.</span></div>

The reason, if you assume they exist in a state outside of our Time-Space continuum, how can they influence, with any meaningful results, our Space-Time continuum? They would, in their natural state, probably have very little understanding of Time-Space aka Cause and Effect. This would be a big claim, but consider the following:</span></div>

How can the spirits just watch and let it happen, consistently, it’s like they show no moral values?</span></div>

You can claim it’s Divine Will, and I will say bullshit, that it’s Divine Will that someone gets molested or shit like that. Norse, anything… its easier to explain this by saying they have NO knowledge of the events because of the Space-Time divide, and are limited by the perceptual basis of the people who allow them access to this world via MIND (we will get back to the physical offerings in a second).</span></div>

This, of course, means the magician acts as the Space-Time conjuncture point in part. If you follow the logic of the Space-Time dissonance, it also follows why two spirits of the same time of spirit can exist in different spaces at exactly the same time. Because the spirit does not have any sort of time constraints on it; because it’s existence does not involve the same kind of time structure’s ours do. You could correctly say all spirit-based magic is a type of Time/Space magic. In fact, if a person was so inclined to read Bardon, they might even agree with that.</span></div>

They should not be ignored or trivialized. The idea that spirits existing outside of our Space-Time coordinates, and needing a bridge, still fits. So that is the first stage of talking about altars and offerings, spirits need a Space-Time bridge.</span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

I mean, we go from point to point, concentrating and balancing different priorities, rarely is our intention focused in one direction. This means that at best, a well trained magician is a very short focused bridge and if you work possession work like we do in Vodou, that is exactly what happens with a short Space-Time bridge that is complete. </span></div>

It is the physical body of the magician that ACTS as the Space-Time bridge as called in through the use of mind connection and active imagination. Intention dictates energy direction and characteristics in the body. Rarely will the magician be able to stay so in SYNC with an information pattern for a really long time, that it is a reliable talisman (but we will get to some examples maybe in part 4 or 5 at this point).</span></div>

<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">First, LOTS of people get lots of results with talismans and they seem to have an outside of mind effect. Again, we cannot fairly dismiss that datapoint. </span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">From tons and tons of experimental data, from tons and tons of magicians, let me state that most of the magicians will agree that talismans can hold an information pattern or intention which has a strength of signal. Both the clarity and strength of the talismans depends on a lot of different factors beyond the scope of these blog posts but that said, it means that physical options can be imbued with energy patterns. These physical things, while not as powerful as direct magician involvement, certainly must be more stable as they do not self-generate opposing intention vectors. AKA they FIX and hold the same intention, and within the scope of the argument, act as a Space/Time bridge with greater stability. Clearly this, in a nutshell, explains physical altars and talismans, but does not yet get to the offering parts. Although that last part of physical offerings because ambivalent, depending on how good the magician is at pushing energy/intention and binding it to physical objects. So for example, my ancestors really do like the vibration of Coffee, but they will always accept me performing Reiki work on and at the altar, to give them energy to work with. It gets bound into their reservoir (the altar) to pull from. Physical offerings work in a similar way, in that if you are using those offerings on their Space-Time bridge, they can drain the energy or the capacity for amplitude to themselves.</span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">You can try this with a friendly spirit you have a relationship with. Create a physical space. Give them a food offering. Tell them you want to understand. Save some of the food offering (and do not place it down on the altar). Place some of the food on the altar. Notice the difference. Unless the spirit is trying to be nice to you, the food might taste bland, or just something about it off. Respectfully, you have to ask the entity to do this. Sometimes, with the dead, you might get sick from the food.. so be prepared to banish. Make clear your intention is that you want to understand what happens with the food. IF a spirit won’t work with you in this capacity (aka get permission), ask a different one. If you try this, you’ll understand exactly what I mean. The only problem being that the spirit might give you some of their energy in exchange, ask them not to.. (if they like you that’s how it should be, but that won’t help you learn in this case).</span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>

Simply put, spirits are informational patterns in a way, and as such, only certain patterns of physical material increase the resonance of the spirit itself. That is why certain spirits will request certain foods and offerings once a bridge is made. They are telling you what will add to their spiritual amperage to influence the physical world because not all resonances will. That is probably a simplification, but with some thought it will take you a VERY long way.</span></div>

Before I can talk about the offerings and spirits in an intelligent way, I have to rant a little. Just gloss over the Rant, I promise it will get better.<br />
<br />
Jonathan Z. Smith writes in Imagining Religion:<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“...while there is a staggering amount of data, phenomena, of human experiences and expressions that might be characterized in one culture or another, by one criterion or another, as religion — there is no data for religion. Religion is solely the creation of the scholar’s study. It is created for the scholar’s analytic purposes by his imaginative acts of comparison and generalization. Religion has no existence apart from the academy.”</blockquote>
<br />
I am not a fan of religion. Of course, when the offerings topic made the blogosphere, I promised to eventually write something on it. Most of the people commenting on offerings with spirits raised spiritual, and mostly religious, points supporting their position followed by antecedent personal evidence. Let me be perfectly honest and blunt from my opinion: If you are combining hoodoo techniques with ceremonial magic, you are a chaos magician (or at least proving the point that chaos magicians are trying to make). It is the reason, that I say, there's no point in calling myself a chaos magician… and don’t. The arguments were already made and seemingly won.<br />
<br />
The reliance of religion is a call to authority, again in my opinion. It is the moral equivalent of do this because I said so; and unfortunately that appeals to many a reader and consumer. No I am not picking on any one person, or don’t think I am. Really, the reliance on that is intellectually weak and at best historical romanticism, since history and source materials are at best the propaganda of the winners of wars cultural and physical. I know people are producing more books on tying magic to religion; and to that I say, bullshit. They are still good people, and I enjoy their company, but that is the product of a cultural age before ours, it is not inherent to the age we are spawning from. That DOES not mean that respect, and respect while working with the spiritual forces, is not critical.<br />
<br />
For me religions, even in the pagan circles, are systems of social control with political beliefs embedded into the underlying current of the religion itself. I do not see this as the same thing as spirituality. For those who think that that this definition is not true, look at your average Wiccan coven, druid meeting, or even pagan gathering. It is group dynamics around ethical codes and enforced social dynamics. While this is part of interacting with “spirit”, religion is only part of the culture which creates it. Statistically, LOTS of people are separating religion and magic, as magic has a tendency to function differently as an emergent properties of the age magic is operating in. Guess what, there is whole lot of people getting a lot of results working in a non-religious fashion. The continual, and often historical, romanticism backed up by intellectual rigidity, is pretty annoying, and why I just don’t get into these debates too often - but I am feeling feisty and I have thought about offerings a great deal.<br />
<br />
I am in the offering camp, but why, given that diatribe. No we don’t have to rely on two notions that fall under the religious, it just works better with no mechanism suggested, and the "I said so", or "because the spirits want this". These are all religious claims, and that is perfectly ok, but the claims limit some expressions of magic, as I will get into.<br />
<br />
<h3>
I have to state some huge assumptions for the rest of this blog post. I am stating the assumptions up front, if you disagree with the assumptions, well the end conclusions and ideas also will not follow.</h3>
<ul>
<li>The Spiritual Forces exist in some capacity outside of the individual mind. The religious magicians cry out, praise Jesus, but I am not finished yet.</li>
<li>The Spiritual Forces are not real, in the sense that they do not share the spatial, temporal, nor physical characteristics which define physical reality. While my assumption is that they exist, they cannot exist in any way comparable to our existence, meaning calling them “real” falsely implies anthropological traits that we ourselves apply.</li>
<li>Spiritual forces require some tie-in to the material plane to function and work in the material world. Usually this is a human magician, but certain classes of spirits may work independent of people by being tied to certain places, plants, etc. The religious will take open offense to this assumption, but in test after test after test, this is how in practice I have seen it work 99.9999999999999% of the time. That’s a hell of a lot of 9’s and when you take the romanticism out of the equation, I have kinda found this to be the case with everyone I have ever trained. BTW, that does not mean, we might not start aka at birth with some ties to certain spirits at birth. So maybe there is room for spirituality after all! :)</li>
<li>Spirits probably do not have an intelligence that looks or functions in a way similar to a human intelligence (although the dead might, but even then Time is an issue).</li>
</ul>
It's in these last two assumptions, that we can start a base of a reasonable model of why offerings work, and why some magical systems do not (contrary to opinion-use offerings). A model is not fact, nor TRUTH, it is a working model. AKA it's my reasonable opinion based on objective criteria, my reading, and my experience of the spiritual forces. If a model is helpful, keep it, use it, cradle it. If not, don’t use it. <br />
<br />
AKA I am not saying this is The Way, I am saying this is one model for understanding that does not involve historical romanticism and calls to authority claims.<br />
<h2>
Part of the Model 1: The Biology of Exchange</h2>
The first real hurdle is unless you show very sociopathic tendencies, which most people up until the modern age did not (and those people would be weeded out), we have an innate sense of exchange. Of course, in the modern age the sociopath can work the people, to play off this notion. It is so critical to how our human cultures work, and now our understanding of how primate culture works. Functionally, this is a biological imperative and most mammals show some sort of exchange logic (even rats). <br />
<br />
Exchange is really the connection point of mammalian consciousness. A dearly departed friend, Dave, used to say it was the Eros initiative (love for other sentient things). Mammals actually tend to bond in this way, and these connection points form the basis of, well, everything. Guess what does not do this: insects and reptiles. So we are talking about an evolutionary bonding process, not very early. This manifests itself in the concept of exchange, or if you like, in the Runic studies department Gebo. Simply put, if there is a biological imperative to connect, there also must be a mechanism to make it worthwhile. So we trade favors for what we need, and share what we have a surplus of with people less fortunate. Culturally, the notion of trading probably goes back to chimps - where they will trade sex for meat. It's what we do.<br />
<br />
We cannot, in the slightest, expect something that runs so deep in us not be reflected in our dealings with the spiritual world. In fact, most cultures DO have offerings (higher level magicians aside, which I might get to in part 2 or 3). The religious would say, yep that proves the point, but what it really demonstrates is how culture (of which religion is part) is dictated by our own biological leanings. Of course we trade with the spiritual world, it's what we do. <br />
<br />
A counter to this is, of course, physical offerings and not just service offerings. Service offerings, or real devotion, would in fact meet this biological criteria. In this, I am just getting warmed up.<br />
<br />

This marks about 1400 words, so tune in NEXT week for Part 2:<br />

A few things about this: this is clearly not “traditional Vodou” so leave it alone if you are going to go there and be like that. It is however a technique that is derived directly from something I have seen done 1000 times in a couple Ifa houses, by a few conjure folk in Chicago, and have done it a 1000 times myself - although the entities prayed to were slightly different. The Conjure people would bust out psalms asking God to take care of it. The Ifa house I saw do this would pray in front of their warriors ( Eshu); I will pray to Legba or Kalfu depending on the situation.</span></div>

Don’t be stingy, you should clearly see the the cross. Place the red starlight mint in the center of the cross (the lines of this cross should be perpendicular, and parallel to the edges of the square). It should look something like this.</span></div>

Try to tie it away from you if at all possible. You have to make sure you can’t see the mint. The palm oil, eh, it just gets everywhere no matter what you do. It will seep into the brown bag too. Just run with it.</span></div>

Really, the magical intention is to really make sure whatever you bind up in the packet stays the hell away from you.</span></div>

First, I just pray and pray and pray that all negativity will be removed and put into the packet.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Two things: I am praying to Lwa yes, but I have seen this done with a Christian, and have seen people doing this before their warriors in Ifa. As you are praying, scrape the packet down and over your whole body as if you are scraping off the dirt, negative energy, and cursework into the packet. Its beyond the scope of this blog post, but you really have to know how to pray and connect to the spirit if you are using this method. Prayers without real connection, well they won’t do much.</span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

I usually show this way to my students. So in this, if you have any sensitivity to types of energy, you just mediate and scrape the packet down and away, pushing (and having the packet) pull the negative energy, cursework, evil and just icky into the packet. If you use all five of your senses and keep your focus, this usually works pretty well. </span></div>

Obviously we live in an over-policed and litigious society, so it isn't always possible to walk out where you are and chuck them into the crossroads, so I bring Ziploc bags with me. I try really hard to not touch them after I “power” them up, instead dropping them in the bag. Then I drive to a remote crossroads.</span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>

What I do is park the car on the far side of the crossroads. Stop: offer the crossroads some Rum, the chocolate and some coins at the first corner; walk away from your car in a cross walk. Ask the spirits of the crossroads to take your troubles away. Offer a shot of rum, chocolate and coins at the second corner and ask again. Now do the same thing at the 3rd crossroads: offer a shot of rum, chocolate, and coins, but this time, walk right out into the middle of the crossroads (so diagonally through the middle towards your car). Throw down the “Evil packets” with some coins, and walk over them but do not step on them. Keep walking, get in your car, do not look back (cover your mirror if you have to). Keep Driving. Put on happy music and take a different way home that includes, loop backs and some driving over the same block randomly to create loops in the route (all that throws any negative spirits out). Do not go back to this crossroads for at least a day, longer is better. Ideally, your route home will have lots of going in circles and loopbacks. If a negative spirit tries to follow your "scent back", often they will get caught in a loopback. Sometimes, the old superstition of crossing running water is also helpful, I have found. The running water essentially makes a sort of flow of energy/vibration that erases your "scent". That's the explanation from a energy model pov. Essentially, it just makes it a little harder to track you down. </span></div>

It has worked well for me on the point of Legba, and Kalfu (for the hard hitting ones). It can be augmented in ways that are probably outside the scope of the blog post. While this works great for almost all negative enchantments, if you have a negative spiritual attack, it seems to in practice depending on how committed or smart the spirit is. Sure, they might get tricked for a while, but if they are truly dedicated, well they will keep going. Works for most, just not all (Caveat given).</span></div>

<span style="line-height: 14.7199993133545px;">Have Andrieh perform a 7 day Michael Uncrossing ritual. I will work to cleanse negativity and give the person protection from negative spiritual forces as well as strength. While Andrieh cannot guarantee that all problems will go away, this ritual has gotten his clients back on the path, out of their crossed condition, and on the road to an upward spiral of prosperity, health and happiness. This ritual involves over 10+ hours of ritual work including daily 60 minutes of ritual work on your behalf. Andrieh goes to town for you. <a href="http://andriehvitimus.com/wpstore/#!/Archangel-Michael-Uncrossing-Ritual/p/34399318/category=8790076" target="_blank">Book this ritual now</a>.</span><br />

<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4lhj0Pd8Ree4Z8ksLRrXNP8FmbPJ4sypmes26Nx_yuALs61M4diBwAYSwRxvv8WGg9t0PxEbd2pyhtGNinSbGaSoAy3PQVBF9eVlGYpwpanYHxC6KFf9XKB_uU3_a8sS4I6KlrzjKvFxm/s1600/sleep.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4lhj0Pd8Ree4Z8ksLRrXNP8FmbPJ4sypmes26Nx_yuALs61M4diBwAYSwRxvv8WGg9t0PxEbd2pyhtGNinSbGaSoAy3PQVBF9eVlGYpwpanYHxC6KFf9XKB_uU3_a8sS4I6KlrzjKvFxm/s1600/sleep.jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;">Generally, sleep is one of the most underrated experiences and it is becoming clear that it is evolutionary critical. We are getting a closer closer understanding of sleep. In a <a href="http://www.sciencemag.org/content/342/6156/373.full" target="_blank">recent study</a> they note: </span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 13.8000001907349px; white-space: pre-wrap;">“found that metabolic waste products of neural activity were cleared out of the sleeping brain at a faster rate than during the awake state. This finding suggests a mechanistic explanation for how sleep serves as a restorative function, in addition to its well-described effects on memory consolidation. "</span></span> </blockquote>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">More or less the later parts of the study deal with this idea of memory cleanup. In computer terms, we might call this defragging. So why would I post on sleep as a magician. First, I want to, and thats that. Second, it is a great place where magic, the occult and the psychological overlap. You can be a hard core atheist and this will help you.</span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Of course, most people do not get great sleep. You know what the number one reason for that, is that people are stuck thinking about things too much ( <a href="http://www.prevention.com/health/sleep-energy/10-reasons-you-cant-sleep/1-you-think-too-much" target="_blank">yep they do</a>).</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> In general, our society creates lots of reasons for worry, and not a lot of reasons toward health. If you can get 7-8 hours of sleep, that will help mood and cognitive function. If you can not get that amount, let’s cheat a little. Let’s cheat even if you can get that amount of sleep. We can help the brain’s memory cleanup by doing a meditation right before sleeping. Sure, I have often posted about banishing before sleeping, and giving a few interrupt techniques. </span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The truth is, that even if you have a really well developed banishing, progressive relaxation might work more efficiently. By “efficiently”, I do not mean faster, I mean much greater bank for the buck. Generally, this will take 20-30 minutes but I guarantee it’s worth it.</span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">First things first, lie down. Obvious I know, try to lay flat on your back. Place your pillow behind your head and the corners of the pillow on each shoulder. This cradles your pillow around your head and neck and is far more ergonomically correct. One of the differences, between progressive relaxation and fast mental reactions, is actually your body.</span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Start to breathe deeply. At least 5-8 seconds in and out, with no pause between breaths. On inhale, just inhale focus on one muscle of your body relaxing. On exhale, focus on one muscle of your body relaxing and breathing out the stress. Imagine what that stress looks like, feels like, sounds like, and expel it with your breath using all of your psychic imagination. It does not matter exactly what it looks, feels, sounds, tastes, etc like, just that you know it for the tension, negativity or stress in that muscle. </span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Try this with a finger muscle to practice. You might have all sorts of body, sensory, and other reactions. Stay with one muscle. Now you will get to the point, that muscle and area feels pretty good. There may be a visual and auditory component, just keep going. </span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Most of the time, you are releasing negative energy as well as physical stress. Try this again to practice on a more troublesome area (lots of people have problems with the neck and shoulder, so try some of those muscles). The one key I learned, is just to keep focusing on the muscle till it relaxes. Inhale relax, exhale imagine breathing the tension out. Each breath should make it feel like the muscle actually melts. If you add that visual idea of melting with the exhale, this will usually go great. It could take 20-30 breaths and focus for one muscle. Read that again, 20-30 breathes for one muscle.</span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I like to start with the parts of the body in the most contact with the mattress. So this for me is the lower shoulders, and gluteus maximus. I will do the exact meditation until it feels like those muscles are liquefying in the bed. Then I will continue to focus on additional muscles around those muscles. The key is one muscle at a time. Really work one muscle at a time with your mind. Once you get the practice to down, you can do deep relaxation starting from your toes on up or from your head on down. This makes it easier to keep track of where your muscles are.</span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Usually by the time I have the neck and shoulders done, I am asleep. I tend to carry my stress there. What you will notice, is that as you are doing more and more muscles, other muscles will melt and relax too. Just try to get through as many as you can. Of course, if you start thinking about things beside the muscle, just breathe them out with the tension and stress. Yes imagine them getting expelled. Often, I find it great to put on an oil diffuser in the room I sleep too, so that negative energy getting expelled just gets transformed by the essential oil (that I usually bless). Of course, I will use blessed crystals, do banishing work in the room I sleep, put down camphor in some water, so any negative energy I release does not stick around. </span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">You could couple this with things like a happiness meditation once you get this down. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Imagine on inhale that you breath in what you understand as condensed happiness, and use all of your 5 senses. Pull that right into the muscle. On exhale, push out any negativity and tension. Keep going with one muscle until it melts. Use your five senses to see and feel it melt. This is a simplified exercise from the </span><a href="http://andriehvitimus.com/wpstore/#!/1-Year-Shapeshifting-Course/p/44065265/category=10722364" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #1155cc; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Shapeshifting Course</span></a><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> (I go into more detail in the course), and some of it is suggested by </span><a href="http://llewellyn.com/product.php?ean=9780738715087" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #1155cc; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Hands On Chaos Magic</span></a><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">.

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">So last Friday, I gave a webinar on planning and magic for SOMA. So many magical books on wealth, health, divinations, mediumship, spirit work, etc, can be reasonably summed up with incremental goal setting, planning and assessment. Sexy topic, I know. </span></div>
<b id="docs-internal-guid-dd3f59fe-0a34-8d0e-6433-fe2e282d5d1e" style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The idea of planning and magic might seem counter to a lot of written materials. Some books will tell you to use magic as a last resort before you get every other option done. I could not disagree more. Let’s start at the forming stage of idea.</span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Very few people come to the table with no ideas. The ideas of something I would like to work on are just vague. Everyone has those ideas. Most of the time, when a person claims they do not have those types of goals, what they really are doing is self-censorship, based around what they can achieve.</span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Perhaps they are correct, but in most cases, I do not believe they are correct. What I believe is that they just lack confidence. The walls of the prison are close. This early and tenuous stage of an idea, is a perfect place for magic. </span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Should we ask the various spirits for the finished product at this stage? Should we enchant for success while everything is still vague? Should we compel the universe to our will? </span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">No. </span></div>

We could do this with psychological skills, even creative visualization and meditation. I prefer to do the following things:</span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>

It is important that our divination is not treated as the final authority. The divination is only part of the process (and sometimes tells you different information then what we're asking).</span></div>

Sure we get distracted by daily living, by pain, by just the sheer beat down of life… but there are a couple that each of us come back to. From myself and my clients, I can tell you that’s true. </span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

These issues, such as I am not good enough, or everyone will hate it…Even if you meditate about the vague idea, and write down what you say to yourself, there’s tons to work with. Well the issues give you the starting point of the plan. They are your soil (or fertilizer for the idea). Now, we have some real meat to work with. Now we are working on what holds us back from actually making a plan we can stick to regarding developing the idea.</span></div>

<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

Most of these hesitations come from patterns of internalized painful experience.</span></div>

Qigong to move the energy around, NLP or self-hypnosis to reframe the issues, <a href="http://deeper-down-the-rabbit-hole.com/2012/10/episode-79-revisiting-ancestors/" target="_blank">Ancestral work</a>, Angel work, or other healing work. I might work out a </span><a href="http://magicblog.andriehvitimus.com/2012/03/legba-white-bath-to-clear-roads.html" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #1155cc; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">white bath</span></a><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">, or start pounding away at it through </span><a href="http://magicblog.andriehvitimus.com/2013/02/practical-chakra-balancing-progress.html" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #1155cc; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Chakra work </span></a><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">(releasing it day by day). Deep seated issues will not just “go away”, but ritual work or the healing work sets out a holy spiritual plan to grow.</span></div>

<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

I might refer to this as the Lie of Occultists and New Age Philosophies, but that would be such an aggressive phrase. If you are in that boat, you are like 99.99999999% of the people and if you ignore most occultists bravado and branding they are in the same boat. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">But what we do have is an issue which I call fertilizer, because we all would like to call our issues shit all the time! :) So how do we work this in a way that is most helpful? Now, we get to the other big point of the webinar, accounting. </span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">By accounting, I do mean Accounting which is hard and math-like, but I do mean meticulous journaling. Sure some magicians are anal on this, journal your magical experiences, but what does that tell you? Not much in practice. </span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">What you really need is your magical rituals and work, and metrics of self-change. If you are doing Reiki for self-doubt, you should be able to track (and I know this is hard), improvement in how much time you are working on your idea versus making excuses for why the idea is not being worked on. The amount of times you sit down to work on an idea and actually sit down to do it (a certain time is best). What you eat, and your emotional state are all clues. The amount you sleep. Your social sphere, all of it. Because when you confront a painful pattern, chances are, a whole bunch of it is connected. If you go down this road, and think that your allies can’t help you out with what you discover by journaling it out, either they really aren't spiritual allies, or those impeding voices are clouding what you are willing to ask for. FREAKING ASK!!!</span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The "pick yourself up by your bootstraps" message is bullshit, condescending, and often counterproductive, but the idea that you can make consistent progress by journaling, and keeping with your spiritual practice is not. You can. Each day another step or two. </span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

You will start off probably swearing at yourself a lot. I do. Usually I get slapped by the ancestors a whole bunch of times to get my head straight on (that's how we all roll in my family). I will turn away help, then break down and know the accounting has the truth of it, and I should use those relationships correctly. Because even our pride works against us, but eventually the accounting breaks it down. You start to flesh out the idea. You get strength in the beginning and tenuous idea phase. You find that creative, or other, voice you need.</span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Then the whole process starts again when you try to implement the idea. </span><br />
