Pine Tree Prosperity Spell

Xmas tree
or so much more?

I like trees.  I like them a whole lot.  This is a simple spell.  It is similar to a container spell you would see with apples and love in Hoodoo.  This is a prosperity spell.

Pine is usually used in magical operations for prosperity, fertility and makes for an excellent spiritual cleanser/healing.  I know many people will carry about pine needles for that in a mojo bag.  Used as an incense, it can be used to clear out and reverse negative energies ( See Hands on Chaos Magic for primers on how to generally work with embuing herbs with energy).

Usually I would tell people to start the pine tree with from seed if at all possible.

http://www.ehow.com/how_4482519_grow-pine-tree-seed.html has some instructions.

Picking a Pine Tree in a Store ( How Andrieh Does it)

1. Take your time,  don't let anyone push you into going faster then you want.
2. Breathe Deeply, continuously, and for a few moments.  
3. Ask the trees, who would like to come home with you
4. Run your hand over the trees, or in them.  Keep breathing deeply.
5. Notice subtle differences in how things feel.  What is different between the trees..  Don't over analyze.  Keep breathing deeply, just paying attention to how the trees feel.
6. Usually. one or two will stand out as more right to you.  Those are the ones to take home.  Remember, you WILL be in a relationship with the tree.  It will be with you, near your home.

If you need more help, Hands On Chaos Magic, has more exercises to detail energy sensitivity and energy dosing exercises like the above.

Planting the Spell

1. Dig the hole.
2. Knee before the hole.  Grab some of your money, coins and paper dollars and pray.
3. Spend 30 minutes praying in your own way that as the tree grows so does your money.  Trees get big, although they steadily grow.
4. Place the money in the hole.  As an optional, and practical helper, I will put mycolonization fungi in with the paper money.  I learned about this from http://www.fungi.com/shop/the-life-box.html  so the money will have a lateral increase in foundation.  This prepares the soil or foundation to be good.
5. Plant the Tree over the money and the fungi.  
6. Spend a few minutes meditating with the tree.  Give the tree some of your energy.  Thank the tree for coming to stay with you and ask the tree to heal your money problems.  Really, just relax and chat with the tree.
7. Pray again over the tree.    Watch your money grow as you take care of the tree.

The Extra Step I took

Since I had visited the forest over the weekend, I sat and prayed to Gran Bwa, of course, after asking Legba to open the door ( and doing so in a New Orleans Style of Vodou).  I then asked Gran Bwa to lend some of the Ashe of the forest to help the tree ( and my new prosperity get started).  I gave the tree some of the Stream Water I had collected form the forest.  My significant other Becky came home and said the tree was absolutely glowing.

The next day, a Spider had made a web on one side.  I took this as an unbelievably good omen as I have weird relationship with spiders anyway, they always bring me good luck when they are around.

Spirit Relationships, Ashe, Herbs and the Forest

Gran Bwa is the House in this case!

As part of the results of my spiritual discipline,  I have decided to write more about Vodou.  Regardless of what is said, there is very little agreement on most anything in Vodou between groups.  I am going to to write about it only from my perspective.   The perspective of what works for me.  Rest assured, I will probably get slammed, thats what the delete button is for.  Alot of what this blog will talk about is how to maintain relationships with the genus loci of a forest.

So I went to the forest to collect some leaves with the munkins.  They are learning well.  

1. We paid to go into the forest, entering in the crossroads paying Legba to open the door from the crossroads..
2. Then I paid Gran Bwa to go in the forest
3. Although its not traditional, I have such a relationship with the faery kinda, that I will usually pay them ( with prayer) to help me find what I was looking for.  

Usually,   I will pray or sing til I feel I can enter.  This is a forest I have been going to a lot.  I have a great relationship with the forest.  Sometimes I will go just to go and walk, take it in.   I love bringing the kids to this forest.  Singing or praying this time was only a couple seconds, then "come on in".  So we go in.   We did extra service by actually cleaning up the garbage in the trails.

This is a wonderful way to make progress with the local spirits and form relationships with the forests.  Unfortunately, this is where many modern books seem to stop as far as methods to build more powerful meaningful relationships.

For each plant, I pray to the plant and pay the plant with coins and water, or rum if I feel appropriate.  Then I take only what I need, and only what I feel and hear the plant allows me to take.  This is usually not much.  Taking the whole plant is not needed ( and I will give a reason from my perspective in a few paragraphs).

Second,   I thank the plant.

While crossing any crossroads within the forest, I pay the crosswords to carry the magic through the crossroads.  It's not possible to pay each crossroads in the suburbs or in some cities, but I make sure to sit and pray at the crossroads to pull the magic of the leaves through the crossroads.  In a way, all crossroads are linked, they are all part of a matrix it was.  A trick my spirits taught me was to pray at one, to pull through all.... I wont exactly go through how they taught me to pray to make that happen.

When done the Ashe of the plant comes into the magic you are working.  Ashe is the spiritual energy in this case of the plants themselves.  Of course, spiritual energy is a horribly ambiguous and complicated term.  What is spiritual energy is greatly up to debate, however for the purposes of this blog post, it is the ability of the plant energy to work successful magic.  This is a gross simplification, the plants themselves can work miracles.  Now usually, I will use live plants I collect in this way, and prepackaged plants from stores for the bath work.  It is my opinion, that to be most effective, the prepackaged plants require a whole different procedure to turn on the Ashe of the plants.

Now, when you are using a live plant, I usually want to make sure at least one of the plants I take from is well cared for and stays alive.  Simply put, this anchors the bathwork to a growing or continually growing plant.  It keeps the work going as the plant is going.  

Collecting the Ashe of the plants in this manner gives an amazingly awesome platform for herbal tea work,  bath work, or even incense that the prospective magician, Houngan, or Mambo can then layer the spiritual energy of a Lwa on top of ( God or Goddess willing).   Taking a non-paradigmal view, this works great whether you are serving Gran Bwa or the Greenman.

What really is important, is maintaining the relationship with the forest, and the plant.  Respect is the key.  Specifics can be argued about, but Respect and deference is the key.  In a similar way, you can pay the forest for rock, water, or whatever really you need.  The relationships with the spirits, your intuition and respect will carry you quite far. 

Peruvian Fire ceremony, Shaman Jim specialty
Very Bitter Beer on Mountains.

Learning Peruvian Shamanism

So I am learning some Peruvian shamanism from Shaman Jim.  There has been a grown sympathy between me and some of these shaman allies.  There is a long story behind this, but increasingly his shaman's line have gotten interested in me.  That's a very different blog.

But Jim instructed me to find 3 rocks for different purposes.  Again,  the forest provided and in each case I would pay the forest for what I took and needed and thanked the forest.  In two cases, cleaned up alot of debris, and thanked the streams and the trees that gave me gifts.  The gifts are exactly what I needed to start learning and developing more and more with the Peruvian shaman.  Of course, I will be learning more and more Vodou as well, as time goes on.

What is important here?

In each case,  there is a strengthening of the relationship  from me to the forest I am working with.   In each case there is a series of mutual benefits for the forest and me.  The relationship allows for much greater flows of Ashe.  Even from a psychological model of magic, the more powerful relationship is with the force, the more convincing the magic will be to the subconscious mind.  If you are taking the approach that spirits are real, these kinda of relationship strengtheners will be a book to any shamanic path that assumes in the existence of spirits.  In fact, for me, starting with the Ashe of the forest and having earned the rocks for the Peruvian training can only help my progress working with what the stones represent.  

All in all, that more powerful starting point... and acknowledging the web of relationships and working to maintain and build those are a great recipe for more powerful natural/shamanic magic, in my humble opinion.

Reiki's Outer Energy Channels and Gigong

Usui Sensai, He can be a slave driver
when Invoked or directly worked with.
Great Honor To Him

As many people know, I am an initiated Reiki Master Teacher.  Reiki unfortunately gets a real bad rap in occult circles because of the "new age" popularity.  The truth is the research on Reiki from Japan sites several problems with Reiki we have here in the US.  Most notably was the use of the Indian Chraka system as opposed to a probable link to the meridian systems of Chinese medicine.  It works with the chakra system however.

This will be a slightly more technical yet insanely practical view of Reiki that I may or may not expound in a full book.  Who knows.

Reiki is usually translated as the Universal Life Energy.  It has Shinto, Buddhist, Taoist, and Hindu influences ( at least in America).

Much of this is my personal experience.  Before continuing let me explain that I have extensive Gigong Experience and Extensive Reiki experience.

The contented and often
duplicated Human
Aura...

Reiki Practical Theory One:  Reiki Flows through the OUTER Channel, or Aura.

I have tremendous experience to back this up with very talented energy workers.  Their are practical benefits to conceiving Reiki in this way.


Why I think this?
Besides being able to know, see and understand the energy flows..

First, Reiki is primarily a celestial to earth experience.  From the Chraka system, it flows from "Universal" through the crown down into the the other person.

Second,  in practice, often the healing Chi is greater flow from Reiki then what most people bodies can transmit.  I have actually tested this with people.

Third, the healing process of healing another does give you some healing benefit, however, if you know Gigong, to generate and process the amount of energy to do respectable healing work should have a greater healing effect on the person doing the healing work.  Thus to transmit energy through only Gigong, or energy work, you must have enough energy through your body to project it.  Often that means you'd have to be in pretty good health, and get the healthy boost of energy transmission from your body getting cleaned out plus the process of building that much energy.  Reiki is slower then that when healing yourself,

Gassho, Just for prayer in Reiki, Right, Sure.

Fourth, the Gassho Meditation is a completely foundational Reiki Meditation.  Of course, the party line is that its prayer meditation.  This is true, however when you do this meditation,  both hands get very warm and then its my experience that the whole body get very warm.  As people are taught, you turn the reiki on as you are putting your hands together.  Then you breath, concentrate on the reiki flows.  This is extraordinarily relaxing.  

Reiki however blasts out from the hands.  It is a healing modality that goes out from the hands, meaning the Gassho meditation, creates a energy circle that when combined with reiki forces the reiki energy INTO the body.... why would that be needed if reiki was channeled through the internal energy channels.

It can't be.

Andrieh's Previous Experiments
For months, I did work pretty extensively with multiple Gigong and incorporated.  Usually, I worked with Chilel Gigong and Clyman's system as well as a smattering of Medical Gigong.

Chilel Gigong openly assumes you should set up a energetically clean environment before doing Gigong and does this with a type of visualized banishing.  While Clyman would claim this was not needed, I found that the Chilel would have a greater body alchemy.  While Clymans would tend to bring greater levels of magical strength.

I started with the Gigong for a couple months combined with Tai Chi.  I got pretty good results.

When I started doing the Chilel with concentrating on Reiki flows, I always went into deep trance that required a fair amount of concentration to continue the motions and focus.

I noticed a few things,

1. The gigong increased and the flow greatly increased.
2. The Reiki Flows greatly increased
3. The Body Alchemy, Weight Loss and health benefits increased

After communing and meditating with Usui Sensai, I believe in large extend this mastery set was intended more as the norm then not.  A great increase in heat in the body while doing reiki after the internal channels were opened up.

Reiki's Default Flow in Andrieh's Experience
Reiki by default continuously flushes the auric channels.  This naturally heals.  The auric channels do in some theories form assembly points at the palms (where reiki flows out of).  In practice, Reiki generally flows down the outer shell of the body, and then outward from the hands.  This is the beautiful part of reiki and why most reiki practicineers can go for a long time channeling reiki.  It simply doesn't stress the body.

The healing process happens like a form of Osmosis.  The reiki continually flushing the aura in most cases means that negative emotions or energy do not get stuck there to cause problems with the body.  Devoid of new negativity, and getting energy through a type of saturation of outer towards inner, reiki can heal the practineer slowly. Faster with Gassho and self reiki.  It is generally all gentle.

Chigong genrealy works the opposite way going from Inner to outer.  So the internal Merdian Channels are activated and then that moves toward what would be considered increasing esoteric results.  So its very hard in Gigong to "heal other" but very easy to work yourself healing.

Gigong however, uses your energy general and moves it around.  If you are suffering from emotional or physical trauma, this is very hard.

Putting it together was an interesting synergy.  Now you have the Universal Life energy which is limitless flowing through the internal and external channels.  Essentially the entire body becomes a  magnifier for the flow of reiki which makes faster and more powerful healings possible.

Intial Proceedure
Now, I will be picking this research up where I left off.  Heres how you can start.
Learn a system of Gigong, preferably medical based as opposed to Chi-packing or physical based.
Practice this for 3 weeks

Get Usui Reiki Attuned at level 1, if your in Cleveland, I do do Reiki I attunements so contact me at andriehvitimus@gmail.com

Start practicing it together.  Do the Gigong Form with the activated reiki, and without, notice the differences.

I will be conducting extended research and work with this, and will be consulting through mediumship Usui Sensai for tips and pointers.  It should be a kickstart to health, this time I know more and last time it very much worked.

Mantric Sigil Magic for Beginners

The One and Only

I will refer to Hands on Chaos Magic a few times. We talked about Sigil Magic on Deeper Down the Rabbit Hole and you can get a copy of that broadcast, here. 

This is a simple, but very effective take on sigil magic.  Most of the time, I have found that most people simply do not do enough mantra's to make the spell work, well work.  This has been done many times, however, it is the amount that seems to be what people do not get.

Optional Materials
Mala, or a Chaos Rosary, Paper, Pen,  Just make sure you know how many iterations to do.

Prerequisite Skills
Sitting Still,  Mantra focusing,   Games and exercises to help with this are in Hands On Chaos Magic

Mantra Spell
1. Create a Mantra sigil
( from Hands On Chaos Magic)

The process is simple. Write out your statement of intent. 
  For Example:

It is my will to see a blue bird within two weeks
  Drop all the duplicate letters. The example intent becomes

ITSMYWLOEABURDHNK

Rearrange the letters so it is not in the same order as the original intent (This is optional, I just like to do this.  Figure out how it works best for you).

RDWHEABUYLOITSMNK

Copy this new combination of letters to a new sheet.

Use these remaining letters to verbalize a mantra to create the mantra spell.  Those who care about musical tonality may wish to ensure that the verbal mantra flows according to various rules of music or poetry.  Try to add letters or take them based on whether or not you like or dislike mantra.  Make sure to start with strong positive language in the intent.  If you need help with the phrasing of intention, well Hands On Chaos Magic.

2.  Sit and relax
 Simply breathing in and Out as deeply as you can for a few minutes will help. For the duration of this work, you should try to stay as perfectly still as possible.  Try to minimize all movement.  When using the Mala to Count, try to use the minimal motion to increase the count.

3.  Banish and Center by preferred method,
If you need a more intensive banishing that will definitely get you at the right level of trance, check out the Ceremony of Transformation.  Go right into the work.

4.  Slowly start repeating the mantra, but quickly pick up the pace of the mantra to go as fast as possible.

5.  Use the Mala or rosary to count.  Again keep your hand still and use minimal motion to count.

6.  Speed the mantra up to the point its so fast, you can almost not pronounce the words fully.
The idea is to get up to a speed where the syllables just blend fast.  Fast enough that your conscious mind shuts down.

7.  Go through the Mantra 10 full rosaries full which if using a Hindu Mala, = 1080 times.  
Honestly thats probably a good minimum number, and the chances are VERY good at 1080 repetitions you will be drooling and in a VERY altered state.

8. Destroy any physical copies of Mantra.

9.  Stand and Stretch, do something else.

1080 mantras should take 45 minutes+.

Variation 2:  Your that good at mantra work that this won't screw with your head, eh? While doing the mantra work, use all five of your senses to imagine your life with the successful enchantment in it.

Spiritual Discipline 41: thus ends the Discipline

Shiva and Ganesh

Today ends the discipline 40 + 1 day.

What I did
A Full Homa instructions that I use were in Day 4

Fire Homa in action

• 1 mala set of Aum
• 1 mala Aum Gam Ganepathi Svaahaa
• 10 Mala set of Hreem Shreem Kleem Pah-rahm Esh-wah-ree Swah-hah 
• 1 mala set of Aum Shiva Svaahaa

Outcome of the Discipline

This discipline has really been useful.  I started to talk about the benefits, and I definitely had weird dreams last night.  A lot of times I do say smart ass commentaries with the captions, today, I got to be honest.  It was a very worthwhile but difficult process.

Lets look at what I set out to do:

 First, I was just looking to boost my energy level to start a real program of health, and to get enough internal strength to deal with the issues of envy/anger at basically the hacks in metaphysics.... a lack of respect.

Mostly I had, covered some of the benefits in Day 32,  I am pretty sure those are verified... and the whole nature of my relationship to Chicago changed.  Core issues, released.  Powerful changes overall.  My mindset is much better, I can see the problems more clearly.  In general,   GOOD positive change.

It was worth doing.

Out of the project spawned 2 book ideas, 1 idea which my friends and supporters are pushing hard for me to write.  This idea will not be be an easy book to write at all, but I will.

Some of the issues, that I think I still need to work on:

• Solar work to overcome some of the lack of confidence in some particular areas.
• Health wise need to really dive in and walk as much as possible, started to do that now.
• Working on detailing and deconstructing the anger that comes from being envious, although right now I can honestly say I care alot less.
• Using the Blog as a textual alchemy, which I will do more and more.

Moving forward, I am going to segway into more blog posts that deal with internal/external transformation and magic.

I plan to get back into Chigung heavy and Gigong is one of the best  building Ashe traditions I can think of, but then I think cross paradigm-ally....

Spiritual Discipline 32: Homa with the Daughter, Son and the Becky

Dried Coconut and Ghee, transforms to
Vast Life changes

Did a fire Homa on this fine Saturday.  This time did it with the step children.

My procedure for doing this was detailed Homa Proceedure Detailed Back in day 4
I added a few things, which help my head settle down faster, or helps me reintegrate faster.




So  What I did

• 1 mala of Aum
• 1 mala of Aum Gam Ganapathi Svaahaa
• 6 Mala of Mala of Mala Hreem Shreem Kleem Pah-rahm Esh-wah-ree Swah-hah
• 1 mala of Aum Shiva SvaaHaa..  ( this really seems to integrate the lessons more throughoughly and faster, and hes been "around more often"

This was all inside the Homa Structure and done with a fire ceremony.

Lord Shiva hanging with his Son Lord Ganesha

I think my Step Daughter got a little freaked out by Shiva's presence at the end.  Becky confirmed Shiva's presence, as well as Ganesh.  Lord Shiva came very strongly.  Doing the feminine mantra, tents to mess up my head a little.  I am often very tired after words.  Often, although not directly tied to Kali, a variant of Kali pops into my Mind while doing the mantra.

Lord Shiva seems to help the integration process happen.

Results
There is definitely some clear results of the process so far.  Enough to put in a bullet list.

• Mental Stability after the white bath for others.  The White baths and the corresponding work for other people, left me severly mentally drained, and somewhat angry.
• Physical people in Chicago and Michigan reaching out to reconnect to me, and tell me in no uncertain terms how much I mean to them and how I changed their lives.  Even the dynamics in places between people were radically different.. as if the past was transformed.
• Chicago usually leaves me a little twitchy, lots of negative energies. and bad memories.. but it was more ambivalent... more like un-attached mellowness.  An Un-attached motion though what otherwise is stressful.  It just doesn't matter and the things there just cant affect me anymore.
• Growing unattachment to outcome.  This is a good thing, I need some time to just be and meditate.  I have lots of options, I just need to think about what I am doing where I am going.

The Chicago thing was clearly a huge change. That absolutely is progress and people reacting and acting differently says its not just in your head "internal change".  All spiritual gain, must be met with physical change.


Vodou Double Feature

I saw a medium during the week who did give me a message to give some things to the Baron Samedi.  I did service to the Baron.  Who was present and verified.  I got pocessed for a little bit ( then snapped out it).  I could not derive exactly why he wanted the things he did, other then it was for a blessing for me for some services I have been doing.

When I did service for the Baron, My best friend Mellisa showed up ( she is dead).  She told me ( through Becky) in no uncertain terms to put her to work.  I am not sure what I can ask her to do for me.  I have to think about it.  Although Vodka + Chocolate was the requested food offerings.   Melisa has a heart of gold.... I just have to sit and meditate and see what she would be willing to do, and what she can do.  I know what magical skills she had in life, but in Death she seems to have gained a few tricks :)

Spiritual Discipline 18: Communication

Good to hear from you again, Lord Ganeh

Increasingly, and maybe falsely, I sit in front of the alter I do the meditation at and relax.  Before I start on the meditation, I am having a chat, a chat with Ganesha.

I don't know if I am having a conversation other in my head with myself and this does not matter.  They are helpful, usually he will strongly urge to have the conversation before doing the Mala work.

Often we are talking about life, Vodou ( ironically enough ), magic, and moment.  He does not offer solutions usually, only questions and compassion.

As many people know I am a Vodou priest, and as Erzulie Freda in possession pointed out, I often know things ( regarding spirits) that others do not.  This is not arrogance or bragging.  I sometimes have trouble hearing the spirits, but I always know when they are around and usually its verifiable with other people.   This ability has been demonstrated over and over.  In a recent Vodou ceremony, Erzulie correctly outed me on this.

But the conversation always goes weird.  Crystal clear now, and never demanding ( other then to keep doing the training).  I do not know how much is external or not, and I am not sure in Hindu thought this is a question that should even be asked.  The last time, He pointed at every single spirit in the room and told me, you know they all love you and walk with you.  Of course, that was good to hear.  It was more specific as well.  Naming times, I served them.  Not times, when I had "given them" formal service, but times that their children( those are people in Vodou) came to me and asked for help, and they asked me to help... and I did.   Sometimes with people who had very little, sometimes the help was at great risk and I would do it. So he was right, in my conversation with myself the universe and all.  Sometimes I will act and let the spirits do nice things for me.

Then there is alot more people, who expect me to do more then I promised, for free.  That gets to me, they are the majority.  I know I can work miracles more often then not ( although sometimes they take longer or come out differently then I expect),  but there comes a point when the chorus of do it for free people, and people expecting you to fix everything with one spell, as well as people asking for readings only to go "reader" hoping till they hear what they want to hear.

Its a type of spiritual vampirism stemming from the post-charmed nihilism of willfully ignorant masses that prefer to believe magic is just a fast fix pill, just like every other condition.  It got to me, it added to the resentfulness I am letting go of.  Frauds in metaphysics are making alot more money selling the snake oil or vigorously attacking people.  Yes the miraculous is possible, and yes miracles are possible and yes great healings, luck and more is possible.  It all takes work though... the magic combined with the life work opens the door to greatness.... usually a person doing the work, or having someone else do the magical work combined with doing the needed physical steps will just start rolling in synchronicity.

Many of the people who would sell that snake oil of them as the messiah, well they do get more money.. but its just that.  All magical changes to physical reality takes work.  Ganesh is just trying to get me to know that there is much synergy between person, spirit, and those who support me, and to let the others roll along the road. I am very grateful to the LWA, and my ancestors.  I am very grateful to the people who have helped me.  I am grateful to the opportunities I have had.

Sometimes, I just forget that... and focus on the vampirism instead of the good work that occurs.

Spiritual Discipline 12: Day Dreams R Me

This meditation

• 1 Mala of Aum
• 1 Mala of Aum Gam Ganapatye Namah
•  6 mala of Hreem Shreem Kleem Pah-rahm Esh-wah-ree Swah-hah,   

I still have a bit of a cough.  Normally I wouldn't post that I am doing what I should be doing with the discipline but this one again had weird components.


First, I would start rolling on the last mantra and blank out.  No Mantra, Just mentally gone.  I have pretty good focus as I have said, and have meditated a while.


Really flash to a scene, time stops, and actually loose track of where I am.   Now, the scenes were actual events, again like a Day Dream memory, alot I had forgotten.


Again this happens with meditation, you just keep going which I did.  And then it happens again, with a different scene.  Each Dream dip, I totally lost track of where I was physically, when into a scene of my past, lost track of the mantra, had complete time dilution, and came back.


This was alot like the dream work with the initial phases.  Go to the scene, have the pain removed and keep going as if the mantra work was singling that thing out and forcing it intention via the Mantra to flow towards it.


By the end, my head was so swimming, I had to go sit down and ground.


Progress Update


Well I will say there is definitely results, not needfully what I expected but positive.  Certainly, while the first bit of resentment is there, its much more of annoyance.  I just don't care about some things that were acting as a trigger, and more then that I do have a conception of why they were such an issue.   These are positive steps.

Spiritual Discipline 10: Energy Blocks and Pain

As you start doing this, I noticed that after 5 mantras I start to get pressure and a headache.
What I did this time--->

• 1 JapaMal of Aum with the energy motion associated with that  ( I will post how I do this later tonight )
• 1 JapaMal of Aum gam ganapataye namah  ( which should be changed now to Aum gam ganapataye Swahah)
• As many as I could do or up to 5 japamal of Hreem Shreem Kleem Pah-rahm Esh-wah-ree Swah-hah

Usually, this just dissipates and is pretty common based on my research on kundallini and Shakti.  Using multiple paradigmal energy work, we can easily resolve the headache and pressure.

The normal path of Kundalini ( through the Shakti Process)

Gurus will take LOTS of your money to make sure
it goes this way, once in a great while they actually do that


What  more often then not seems to happen

Spiritual Discipline 9: Chugging along, this time with Daughter

Hell yeah meditating with your daughter
kicks ass.today 

Today I did the meditation with my daughter.  With her we did

1 Mala of Aum
1 Mala of Aum Gam Ganapatye Namah

I think she likes the Vodou work alot more, and has good relationship with Legba and a few other spirits.    However, calming and controlling your mind is a big part of magic.  She did the meditation and was much much calmer.

I then sent her upstairs.   I proceeded to do 6 mala of Hreem Shreem Kleem Pah-rahm Esh-wah-ree Swah-hah,    I am feeling a little under the weather, and this was the most I could do ( I have a cough ).


Now I know I have skipped a few days for blogging about the discipline, but I am doing it.  It just gets a little tedious if nothing is happening except more of the same.


Why Meditate with the Daughter


My step-daughter clearly has some psychic ability, no doubt from her Mom, the lovely Becky.    I don't know that I can get the kid to sit down and do energy work yet, but she will do some meditation and does occasionally see spirits.  What I am trying to do is help her fine tune those abilities with a healthy dose of skepticism.  Thats probably going to take some time, but getting past the daydream stage to real spiritual contact is in fact where meditation comes into play.


First, I don't want her to get to the point I had, where people just assume I am insane.  This as people know was extremely counterproductive to my life and general well being.  Instead I want to teach discernment and using the images and conversations that pop in ( or getting past them).  Most of the "communications" are not.  You have to really train yourself to just rule out garbage or more important what you think you want to hear.   I am happy to start the process with the step-daughter.  She'll have better training then most people ever get.


Effects of this Meditation


So far its getting easier and easier to do this mantra.  I am getting more insights, and feel like ( outside of the cough) that I DO have more energy.  I need to do a second Homan This week, and will do that as soon as it gets warm enough to do so.

Spiritual Discipline Day 6: Shared Mantra Session

thats how we roll, sometimes.

Jason Colwell joined me in my session.  We did about an hour of meditation together.
Ganesh instructed me through psychic means that anything more then 3 repititions of the Shakti mantra would be too much for Jason.

So what we did
1  mala  set of AUM as described back in the  AUM Technique
1 Mala of Aum Gam Ganapatye Svahaa
3 Mala  of  Hreem Shreem Kleem Pah-rahm Esh-wah-ree Swah-hah

Effects
Jason had immediate body effects, beyond what normal zen style meditation occurs.  What happened to him the next day was almost identical to what I described in
http://magicblog.andriehvitimus.com/2012/04/spiritual-discipline-day-1-writing-and.html#more
I did not tell him what to expect, nor gave him any inclination of the effects.  He more or less told me then next day these details which just happen to match up with the above.
One person getting the effects like that, weird, two people is starting to suggest a process is going on that is VERY similar when working with this mantra.  Two people having similar style dreams , body effects, and reducing for the possibility of "expectation effects", we are left with more interesting questions then not.

Clearly, this mantra does similar things to people at the starting points, and the effects change over time.   More and More Interesting this process is becoming.

Fire Homen Mala Hreem Shreem Kleem Pah-rahm Esh-wah-ree Mantra

Cause when Ganesh is banging on your head
you do what he says :)

So today, Do a reading.. and was running late,
Yesterday I got told, do a homa in my meditation.  That the meditations would go better.

So today I did.

Oh btw I 4 days into the spiritual discipline.

Readings and mediumship said, nothing fancy, just do it.

Andrieh's Modified homa Procedure for this discipline

Originally from the Vedicastrologer.org, Modified by Andrieh Vitimus, Joan Ross, and the Quantum Life  Science Institute.

Materials needed: Homa kundam, wooden/copper/ silver spoon/ladle, melted ghee and pieces of dried  coconut (or wood or dried cowdung cakes).

1. Sit facing east and place homa kundam in front of you.
2. Place some dried coconut pieces or wood or dried cowdung cake pieces in homa kundam (fire pit).
3. Light a camphor and place it in the homa kundam while saying "om bhuurbhuvassuvarom" and make sure  that the pieces placed in homa kundam catch fire.
4. Pour ghee drops with a wooden/copper/ silver spoon/ladle in the fire while saying the following:

• om prajaapataye svaahaa
• om indraaya svaahaa
• om agnaye svaahaa
• om somaaya svaahaa
• om bhuurbhuvassuvaH svaahaa

5. Pour ghee drops on fire while saying 108 ( although I didnt have a mala and lost count ) of Aum Gam Ganapataye Svahaa

6.  Pour ghee drops on fire while saying ALOT Mala Hreem Shreem Kleem Pah-rahm Esh-wah-ree Swah-hah, I didnt have the Mala to count but I was well over 500 on this.

Simply put I can concentrate on the fire, And the counting.

Andrieh Must be feeling Generous, because he
GIFTED Wrapped how to do this for you.

7. Pour ghee drops with a wooden/copper/ silver spoon/ladle in the fire while saying the following:


• om prajaapataye svaahaa
• om indraaya svaahaa
• om agnaye svaahaa
• om somaaya svaahaa
• om bhuurbhuvassuvaH svaahaa

This concludes the fire ceremony.


I also got the technique down, to repeat it using a minimum amount of Ghee, and very little Coconut... Go me.. So I could do this again,   wanna bet the "homa" is at least a once a week thing?

Impact
This had a radically different vibe then the mantra work alone, as it usually does.  While doing the mantric work usually I get drawn into the memories, this drew me into the fire.  Often times, I would just stop be sitting there, and then restart the mantra... Total mind blanked.

There was kundalini effects, and afterwards feel different... better... much better


Results
This time there was clear results, although not what I thought.  I had been having kinda of a grudge with someone over not getting paid for services.  30 minutes after the homa we worked it all out.  Thats Pretty good results

Body wise, lots of energy, although I am getting tired now... well see how I feel tomorrow.

Restarting the Spiritual Discipline

No Beef for this restart.  Sigh 40 days no beef.

1 hour Total Meditation Time
1 set of AUM as described back in the  AUM Technique
1 Aum Gam Ganapatye Svahaa
3 Mala of Mala Hreem Shreem Kleem Pah-rahm Esh-wah-ree Swah-hah

Effects:  This has been hard.  I wish someone could comment about this mantra, or I had a Guru to turn to on this one.  I mean its really hard.  If you read lots of books on spirituality healing, or development of psychic/spiritual skills, makes it seem like spirituality or a mantra discipline should be easy.  This one is very hard.  I am sure I do not have the pronunciation exactly correct but am getting noticeable effects.   First, the mantra is tough to get through, I have excellent mind-concentration yet while doing this mantra (the Hreem Shreem one), I lose it.  I am deep into the rhythm and I am somewhere else, usually a memory, a stray full sensory immersion into something else, other oddities like this.  Granted I am doing this under the auspicious aspects of Ganesh, so that gives me some confidence that I am on the right path, but I could really use someone to talk to for a bit who knows more then I about some of this work.  I might very well enchant for someone like that to come into my life, of course with the whole honest, and helpful specifications as well.

Also my sleep is radically deep, and it goes to dreamscapes that definitely indeed do go to what I consider full movie representations of some of the issues playing out, from memories in dreams, to full but related imaginations.  The dreams themselves deal with topics that mostly suck, I mean suck… however, the emotional negativity of the effects or situations are removed in the Dream.  Its much more like annoying then emotionally traumatizing.

Effects are Results, But are they what you were going for.

I cannot stress this phrase enough.  Many things can create effects,   I can shoot myself in the foot, this is probably not what I wanted to happen if this happens when I am trying to load the gun.  Some former “chaos magicians” who are claiming that results are not important, are either deliberately misleading people or have drunk their own cool-aid.   Although lots of Ceremonial magicians drank that cool-aid. Equally, batshit, is the people who claim there really isn’t any internal results or that does not matter or that magic can not make you a more adapted person.. again TOTAL.  BATSHIT ….

However, this problem of measurable progress is a difficult one for this.  The spiritual person will keep going in getting effects trusting that the universe will make the progress happen regardless of what is going on.  The Magician probably should have some idea where they are headed and take responsibility for the creation of their personal and external realities.  Inabilities to judge progress becomes very difficult for us more scientifically minded magicians.

Remember, I set out to infuse my body with more energy so I could work towards health.   In the eastern systems, negative emotions do hide out in the body, and serve as a block to health.  Revisiting those negative emotions as a result, may infact release them, but this is very hard to measure.  I know that many of you reading will say, measure smeasure….. just go with the flow ….  See foot shooting example again, its possible to have drastic negative magical effects even if you are doing something like this, and getting results.  Mixed or unclear results, and effects is probably more dangerous then nothing at all.

Intuitively, I think I am making progress…… but rationally, I can’t grasp it measurably.  My general magical and spiritual life combines on a low level the intuitive and the measurable.  It is why I believe I am that good of a freaking magician.  With Ganesh looking over this, I think so… However, I can’t really judge.  Again, getting effects is a good start…. but then more importantly is the effects what is wanted….. are the internal and external realities coming in sync with a personal vision.  Much harder to answer.

Cemetary Work Work and Goetia

Its the start of a science fiction,
double feature

Ah skipping long the graveyard to get some dirt.  There is an endless amount of ways to do this and probably most work.  So spend a good 4 hours gathering specific types of dirt for a Pwen I am working on.

There are a couple ways I do this.

Astral Showdown on the Fringe

So I made an appointment with my cousin.  Cousin is a bad word since she really is kinda of the Magical Matriarch of the Family.
I have been OBSESSED with this one magical project, and no I won’t talk about it…. its solid magic though, and I am stuck.
I personally have gotten GOOD results from astral magic, and often skim those non-linear lines like a shamans of old… and then of course, applying the repeatability aspects, verification aspects and stay freaking sane aspects to astral work.
So first let me emphatically say when me and my cousin get together we do fucked up magic.  All astral, Co-located ( so we can verify images and what we are seeing. feeling and make sure we are on the same page), and generally we have our own little astral methods.  Astral stuff is a head trip on most cases, although I get it in my body much more then an abstraction, sometimes even getting scratches.…. So there is a story I will tell but first….

Books that tell you the astral plan has no dangers are lying to you and outright are dangerous.  I don’t advocate burning those books, but do slam them on Amazon.   What the mind can possibly conceive of and more is somewhere out on the astral.

At one level, the NLP guys are right when they say astral stuff is just self hypnosis.  Sure… till its not.
Verified Result Andrieh has achieved when practicing more astral magic

1. Bruises on other people
2. Exorcisms with witnesses from afar
3. Portal shutdown and closing from afar with external verification
4. Partial Manifestation ( aka like a Ghost, not like a Boss… )
5. Some decent remote viewing stuff,
6. Remove Evocation ( with verified presences felt and EMI increases)
7. Had People Remotely Invoke me with testable conveyances of information
8. Live changing magic ( verifiable)

That probably sounds like I am a magical badass and bragging… however I did say I had achieved.  I can honestly say I couldn’t do some of that now ( however I wont say which ones would give me trouble).  There are many problems with this type of work.

• Results are not sustainable without about 90 minutes daily practice, somewhere along the way I got a family, kids, you know responsibilities that make the 90+ real hard.
• As you tweek out the submodalities, its gets really hard to know where information came from and what is delusion, reality, astral, useful, or not… and in some cases, that does not matter …. if you really are working toward something it gets weird.
• The metaphor becomes reality, and not always in a good way.  AKA the story overwhelms the goal, or replaces it and people go in just for the story.  That’s a fast track for obsession.
• The further you are out of practice the harder and more difficult it is to get useful non-monkey brain information

Hi, I like disco, hi end astral technology
oh and rapping your mind you
weak pathetic human

So with that caveat, My cousin and I go for a little walkies on the Astral to get more information on my project.  What the hell do we see….

That’s right…. Freaking Mind Flayers….

Of course, everything on the astral is mostly interpretive aka other people very may will get alternate visions…. and we were deep.



So after several hours of work, I am pretty sure I have gotten the direct Astral Information dump I needed… but of course that has to be tested.

Astral Information Dumps

It has taken me a long time to quantify these ideas.  First, an astral experience, or invocation can have different consequences then merely the result.  Once you start getting into the Information model of magic, particularly, the less modern, Hindu/Shamanic information transfer goes directly into your mind.  I will post more blogs on this, but certainly my co-host , significant other, and others have had this kind of driect transfer of information.  Reiki does this as well…..  There is a precedent.

The problem is that the information for better or worse can be directly downloaded into the subconscious mind, and out in deep enough trance state for the data to get in.  Invocation can have a similar effect, and do so with unintended consequences.  Often times, this direct information download will produce a surge of creative problem solving, or the magician suddenly has new techniques. On the flip side, they might develop new additions, problems, or even psychosis. 

Again the problem is, you snooze you loose it.  Although the mechanism is often skipped over in most new age books and occult books,  these type of information dumps require the magician work with the data through analysis lest the information dump contains more then a few gotchas.  In the least, it would and can bias choices ( this is sometimes a good thing).

I will write much more about this topic.

For the purposes of my blog though, I got an information dump regarding the project I was working on.  Now I have to work on processes of information control to make sure the information itself isn’t like a neurotoxic bomb…. ( like negative thought loops, that cause energy loops).  So in a practice sense, I have to go back and meditate on the symbol set contained in the astral vision to unlock and analysis contained information ( which was implied in the astral experience).

Now, as I said, remember the flaw of the story overwhelming the goal, Now again, I might actually have the needed information, but I might also just be delusional, and I am not at a stage in the magical creation process to “test results”, as this is more like the theoretical stage.  The stage which Obsession, addition, and the story taking control are all real risks.

Operator, can I download some
Fasutian like information...
with a side of great cosmic power.

Spiritual Discipline day 6: botch got to start over.

I hate it when this happens.  I was struggling with the mantra work from the night I had the 3am night.  Simply put, I don’t recover from that like I used to.
Two things happened, I went to Chicago, and there was no place I could do the meditation at my Father’s house.  I mean trying to do it at 3am each night while in Chicago, and really struggling with it.  Location matters, and generally I do keep the magical operations I work with a secret from my dad.  That turned out to be a real problem, and I couldn’t recover from the 3 am night.   Now, since I failed on Sunday Night, I took a couple days of the discipline. I will restart the discipline on this Sunday with a bit more planning.  I did get a few things out of it.

1. Did get to some of the roots of the problem
2. Mood elevation
3. Some Degree of Insight
4. Boosts in Energy

Flip sides:

1. The Time syncs are a real problem  and the lack of time very detrimental.
2. I have to find break down the time issue and start cutting stuff out to make time for things.

Aum and using the Aum

Its the sound of the Universe,
99% of new age believers agree
So, what does that mean?

AUM Technique by Unnamed, maybe I just hallucinated it

The one technique I learned, and then could not find it again anywhere on the internet, was very specific.  I have used this often, and it does wonders.

This combines a fair amount of energy and intention work.

Aum is a complex concept concept do google it.

AUM can be broken down to A U M and a silence.



From http://kirtimukha.com/surfings/OM.htm 

The syllable OM symbolizes both the spheres:(1) the phenomenal, visible sphere of the 'jagat', wherein the manifestations of time and space appear and perish, and (2) the transcendent, timeless sphere of the Imperishable Being, which is beyond and yet one with it. Thus, A the 'waking state', U, the 'dream', and M, the 'deep sleep', and the silence, 'turiya', all the four together comprise the totality of this manifestation of Atman-Brahman as a syllable. Just as the sound M manifests itself, grows, becomes transformed in its vocal quality, and finally subsides into the silence that follows****, so too the four 'states' or components of being ultimately merge into the homogeneous silence of the 'fourth' (turiya). The other three states are transformations of the one experience, which taken together constitute the totality of its modes, whether regarded from the microcosmic or from the macrocosmic point of view. 

So that explanation aside,  Lets Break the AUM into its three parts.

Start with the A,  focus your attention in the back, center of the of the spine inside your body.  It is not enough to simply visualize, its much more important to feel it while doing the A.

Second, focus the vibration of the U in at the base of the neck.

Third Focus the vibration of the M on the 3rd Eye, and the vibration of the silence in the Crown.  In a real way, use your intention to move the energy up from the heart to the third eye along the spine ( kundalini channel).

At first, do this very slowly starting in each area.  So the Aum might take a while at fist, even up to 7 seconds.  Just focus on the different areas and train yourself to go faster.  As you,  move faster and faster, connect the AUM so the intention will flow up from the heart through to the crown in the silence, in one small motion.   So it would be a continual sweep, up.

Once you can do the Aum quickly and continuously with the energy component, you might notice that the energy moves upward throughout the  body in the spine.  Once that happens automatically whenever chanting Aum, progressively extend the sweep lower and lower throughout the body within the time  of the AUM chant.

Eventually, extend the intention/energy sweep from the root chakra to the crown on the silence.    It takes a little practice  to get the Aum to sweep from the root to the crown, but it is well worth the practice.

If there is more to the mantra then a starting Aum, once you can coax the energy to repeatedly from the root to the crown in one motion through intention, just hold your intention at the crown while chanting the rest of the mantra.  I have found this greatly strengthens any mantra's effects and results.

Spiritual Discipline Day 1: Writing and Mantra Attunement

Ganesh, Awesome and HARD CORE Task
Master

Yesterday, I did the first day of the spiritual attuement for the mantra I am working with Phonetically:

Hreem Shreem Kleem Pah-rahm Esh-wah-ree Swah-hah

Ooch.  This really cut to the bone.  You might say, mantra work, cut to the bone?  Really Andrieh, come on.

Yes.  Yes it did.  

Through meditation I was instructed to do the following things.

• 1 JapaMal of Aum with the energy motion associated with that  ( I will post how I do this later tonight )
• 1 JapaMal of Aum gam ganapataye namah  ( which should be changed now to Aum gam ganapataye Swahah)
• As many as I could do or up to 10 japamal of Hreem Shreem Kleem Pah-rahm Esh-wah-ree Swah-hah

Legba White Bath to Clear Roads

Mambo Pat's Herb Mixtures ( I swiped the photo cause, I just dont
always think to take a photo.

I don't talk about the Vodou I do much for alot of reasons but I serve various Lwa.  Mostly I don't talk about it for reasons with the people.  I am trying to break out of that mode.  I am an Asowge Houngan. The truth is that the Lwa come when I call and even though I am so pressed for time, I love it very much and love the spirits that walk with me very much.

The culture in the African Traditional Religion is quite contentious although I am very good at some things.  People come to me a fair amount even though I refuse to really talk about it.  I just do not want to get into stupid bullshit internet wars about whether or not I can do something.  When I act, I get results, change lives and move.  I was made correctly as a Houngan, although I was not fully trained correctly and this was not my fault . I am working on that.

Papa Legba, Have you seen him?

Although I was sworn to secrecy about the exact formula, I have seen multiple formula's online, in books, basically everywhere... that will work.

One is from Denise Alvarado

3 cans of Evap milk

Hand full... Star Anise

Hand full... Anise seed

1 Pound Salt

1 white candle

originally from http://www.squidoo.com/papalegba

This is not exactly what my bath for the client actually has in and no I won't say.  While many people may disagree with me, the exact bath contents will often change from bath to bath depending on which Lwa is involved which person and the situation.  I will use a combination of dried and fresh herbs.  Its how I saw it done in Haiti, how I was doing bath work before I went to Haiti, and it does work.

First, I LOVE doing herb and leaf work.  Its very grounding and charges me up.  To me the real challenge and secret to me is not the exact formula, although thats what people really seem to get off on.  The real secret is getting the plants to contribute their ASHE to the bath.  There are various ways to do this.  When you are using live plants, you pay each plant, and pay each crossroads to carry the magic back.  This is insanely difficult in the modern western world.

Ashe is alot like spirit energy.  This is generally what makes the bath's have such life changing properties.  First, it is possible to get the Ashe of the plant from the dried leaves you get in the store.  Its alot tougher and takes some extra steps.  The fresh leaves work easier.  To compensate, I will often use fluid and herbal condensors as outlined by Franz Bardon.

Personally, I have developed some techniques for this problem.  These are experimental and basic taught to me by the spirits themselves.  First, it is possible to return and amplify the Ashe of the Plants through Gran Bwa.  I do this through extensive prayer, fire, and other means.

Second, it is possible to directly call the spirit of the plant and ask it to re-establish the Ashe.  This is very very useful, but it means forming relationships with the plant spirits themselves.  The rewards of that journey are great. but it is tedious.

If you dont know how to form relationships with spirits, I give some good advice on the process. I had written about this in 

Engaging the Spirit World: Shamanism, Totemism, and Other Animistic Practices  although I have know idea when that book will be published.

If your interested in doing a bath ceremony with me, http://andriehvitimus.com/content/ancestral-vodou-transformation-jackson-mi   although if you live the cleveland area, I am sure we can work something out.  

---

So Today, Papa Legba White Bath, and the start of my spiritual discipline for the Chraka/Body rebuilding process.

I did the 1080 Repetitions, Ganesh basically in direct communication wanted me to START with 108 of the mantra I used today, and he would guide the attainments and benefits of the mantra ( Mentioned on Thursday).
