Neighborhood from Hell

  • Posted on October 24, 2011 at 7:07 am
Not sure if this has anything to do with the occult but "mayhem" certainly describes what my Mother and I are going through.

Has anyone heard of people being able to drain you of energy, especially your legs, and make you so fatigued that you cannot function mentally or physically? There would be a noise of CHAINS in your head (representing your past sins, or so I'm led to believe), which occasionally fades to a softer sound assuming I do what is expected of me (will elaborate later).

One is awakened at THEIR requested time, directed to do tasks at THEIR requested time, and then a "judger" comes to determine how well you followed THEIR demands, so to speak. It is, to me, a form of slavery and also an attempt to get us out of this "Stepford Neighborhood", though I realize the mind can interpret things irrationally depending on how stressed you are. I am trying to ignore but am being disabled every step of the way.

They also have apparently divided up into two groups (one makes you cold, one hot), and there is some type of ceremony every two months where the opposing group tries to reclaim you by encircling your body with these chains (or sounds, although I can FEEL and HEAR when one is attached to a "bad habit" or removed). This is done from afar, one place is next door where I had one date with this girl's husband before they got together.

There is so much more but I hope that with what little I've written so far, either you've heard of it or not. By the way, we cannot afford to move....my Mother is 87 and I take care of her best I can.....we also have no manpower to move us or nowhere to go, assuming we had the money to do so.

Please help or direct me to someone who might be able to. Thanks very much!

Some callings I can’t avoid

  • Posted on October 20, 2011 at 7:50 pm
Hello everyone, name is Skiz. I used to dwell on the old Occult Forums before they went down in 2007. I was drawn to occultism through a perplexing series of events that happened in my life starting in 2004. Visitations, shadow people, orbs, lucid dreaming. Knowing that there is more to the world, and being unable to deny it I began studying in earnest.

Things toned down a bit after 2008, I bought a house, my life came at me fast. And honestly, I'm perfectly fine with a 100% mundane world. But now, about 2 years of living in my house.. I'm being visited again. Orbs that are really making themselves known. I've put all the occultic practice on the back-burner at this point, relegated to armchair status. Whats an armchair theorist to do now, but study and practice a bit more?

I've never had much success on calling on spirits. But man, this one is REALLY trying to make itself known. My girlfriend, myself and cats all see them. We humans see it as white orbs, oscillating, not all too fleeting. You can focus on them peripherally and they stay put, floating around. The cats are.. confused to say the least. We know where the spirits are passing by the creaking trail they leave where the go. Through the TV, through the monitor, through the wall, and back outside.

Well, looking forward to hanging out.

A few things that have bothered me for some time.

  • Posted on October 6, 2011 at 3:29 am
I do apologise in advance if this is not the correct section. or even website. I unfortunatly found no other forum to ask these questions.

I'm going to come out and say this.
This is the first and last record i will ever account of all these events in one place.

A bit about me before i start.
I am 25 now. A wife a child, I don't look into anything supernatural anymore as i have had bad experences in the past from freinds.(they meddled where they shouldn't have).
When i was 17 my fiancee and i where in a car crash, she died.

But over and over i'm "haunted" by a chain of events in my life.

Now where to begin.

I guess the first time Anything that i can remember was when i was 9.
I was at a freinds house, his mother is a wiccan.
she has a uruz rune that a friend of hers made for her some time ago.

At one point me and my freind held the rune and our hands burned.
I still remember the feeling it was hot but not painfully hot.

At the time i thought nothing of it.

The next accuring event was when i was 13 i found i could replicate that burning at will, but even to this day it seems like somethings stoping something.

excuse my ignorance, but its seems like it wants to do something more. About once a year i sit down and replicate it.

To give some detail. i just hold both hands a bit apart, and it feels like energy is there, but its now all coming out. kind of like a cork on a bottle. over the years its never been less or more.

The next two are dreams. i have had since i was 14.
I know in these dreams that it is in fact me as at times i can see scars that i suffered when i was young.

The first.

In this dream It feels like i am not one person but two.
I am aware of both thought trains both actions.
The first is somone trying to defend a event.
The second wants the event to happen.
It is like they are fighting, but not physically.
To describe a bit more what i see, its a familiar place, but in ruins.
i "know" the place but i cannot recall i have been there.

The last thing i can remember is a blue pillar of light. and i wake up.

The second i can give alot more detail.

It is a sunny day, some clouds.
I wake up on a roof of a building i have never been to.
i am about 3 stories up, I have a sword i have had since i was 14.
It looks like it has had better days.
I can hear a argument coming from below.
I can't hear what they are saying but there is a group of 23 men surrounding one girl, she is young about 17-20.
I know they are going to hurt her, for something that she is.
something pushes me down the side of the building.
its not falling, this is controlled by a feeling i can't explain.
Just before i hit the ground, the same feeling pushes me forward.
i can feel extream pain in my back,i'm rolling in front of her.
in one quick movment my sword is drawn, there is blood everywhere.

I blank out, when i come to.its just that blue light again.

There is never more or less with these dreams Sometimes i can focus on one thing, whenever i try to look at faces or even try to move my head in these dreams. it does not work. I used to be very good at dream control. but it never worked on these dreams.


Now for the reason i am posting this.
Recently i have found myself turning around alot. feeling something. its not a mavolent feeling. but a empty feeling. like something is missing.


Now seeing as you have probably read this far. a bit of what i did when i was young.

I have always followed that whenever i tried anything in the occult to not aim for a destructive purpose. For years i did out of body control, and dream control.mostly to watch over those i cared about.

After dream control I did alot of energy focusing, namely on the sword i spoke of earlier, no one but me has ever touched it. as to this day i get the same burning feeling just by holding it as i did with that rune.


Now im sorry for the lact of order in this post, but really this is the first semi complete account of this.

your thoughts?

Modifying Rituals from other Grimoires

Beginner needs help on "researching" what this approach I’m doing is.

  • Posted on September 22, 2011 at 2:59 pm
Hi. I have primarily two different methods of causing altered states of consciousness/vision in me, and am interesting in researching/finding information about these methods/states/rituals whatever online, as I am a bit skeptical about how healthy these approaches are, as with how to discern "good" from "evil" under these states, and that I generally feel slightly more vulnerable, not strengthen (only in delightfulness and adventure), by these altered states, and am unfortunate (or not) to live a fairly isolated life, and as so do not have any "ally" to back me up if anything goes wrong.

"Rituals": looking at a mirror making a joker-face/grins etc, or simply sitting/laying during whatever posture focusing on causing an altered state of consciousness seem to work, at least to the very fair degree it must obviously be limited to as I don't even go through with it.

The mirror ritual, I guess, could be attributed to provoking my imagination into seeing the "shadows" I want to see. I do not go far with it, and so the results with this ritual only has a subjective "freaked-out"-value thus far.

The "focal meditation" ritual, which is simply focusing on causing an altered state of consciousness, mainly causes my vision to darken (brown'ish or black'ish feel and color-change to my vision). As I push this, and reach a level of decent "blackness" (only takes 10-40seconds or so), I am not able to hold onto the fair blackness as rigidly, and the blackness withdraws a little. I have only done these a few times in my life, but particularly one time recently (couple of weeks ago), I continued to "push" the altered state/blackening, and it felt like the state became slightly more "imprinted" or "permanent"/chronic as I went along. The degree of "fear" however slightly increased the longer I stuck to it (the feeling I have is that I'm becoming vulnerable to some evil/dark shit), and I quit when I was starting to feel a little afraid that I was reaching a state of borderline (as in 'on the edge of...') "portal-opening", as in inviting something, or causing permanent change to my consciousness, possibly to the worse.

Making my "fear" worse, an online friend I have, although I have not known this person for a long time and could really be anyone I guess (but was knowledgeable about subjects such as 'Robert Anton Wilson', which is a rare phenomenon in this country), said she's done/does the exact same thing -- she allegedly did it with a friend, went through with it entirely, and said that the end-result is that colors goes back to normal, but also that her friend looked like this:
Not very reassuring...

What are the phenomenons that I'm talking about here? How can I learn more?
Are they just minor tweaks, basically confirmation-bias + a minor usage of my imagination, conjured up for the quest I've decided to endure: finding the Puca? (what's making my grass green...)
Where does these kind of "rituals" eventually lead? Schizophrenia? :D
Chapel Perilous?

So many questions, such small amount of forums... ^.^

Questions, Musings, and Considerations

  • Posted on September 12, 2011 at 12:40 pm
Hello, all. For the time being, you can call me Furniture. I doubt more introduction than that is necessary, so I'll just jump into the nitty-gritty.

Unlike most newcomers to this forum, it seems, I have no prior experience with the occult. I have always been a skeptic - a scientist governed by reason and logic. It seems almost embarrassing for me to believe in the paranormal. However, despite my misgivings, I have always found myself drawn to and, to be honest, obsessed with the supernatural. I have never had a supernatural encounter, never so much as considered that perhaps there is something beyond, but I have consistently found myself pulled, again and again, to the study of the occult. This time, however, I've decided to actually allow myself to follow through.

I come here as a researcher. Conveniently, I am currently living on what is generally considered a very "haunted" campus, so I suppose if I chose to seek it out, encounters of a metaphysical kind would not be difficult to come across. I would like to begin to explore ways to observe, experience, and research the world that the members of this forum so comfortably inhabit. So, here I am, with an open and inquisitive mind and an eagerness for your experience and input.

EDIT: Well, I have had what I suppose you could call slight experience, as I have experimented with sigils before, but with vaguely disappointing results. I'm of the opinion, however, that sigils are not supernatural, but rather a weak attempt to utilize one's subconscious to promote productivity.

Evocation for Health of Another

Hi All:
I have lurked here a couple of weeks, and have decided to make my first post.
I'm moderately practiced in meditation (30-40 minutes daily for 2 years), and not thoroughly well-read, though not ignorant, on evocation. I stumbled upon this site while doing general evocation research, and this seems like a group of very friendly and knowledgeable folks.
I need help in knowing what I can do to improve the health of a loved one. My wife is stricken with a neurological disorder which is very painful. It stays in remission for, say, 2 months at a time, and then for a couple of weeks she suffers dire pain. If there are any angels/demons that I could consider evoking after proper research, I'd love to hear ideas and thoughts on the subject.

Two "new" questions

  • Posted on August 5, 2011 at 7:56 am
Hello,

Forgive me if these sound like rather elementary questions, but I haven't found a whole lot of information on the various websites I've been exploring.

First question: many of the rituals I've come across seem to require a lot of space, or at least a minimum of 6 feet. But I rent a bedroom from an old, kind landlady that gives me a maximum of maybe five feet that's unobstructed space. Everything else is taken up by furniture that's a) not mine and b) way too damn heavy to move. I have no other place to practice where I won't be seen/heard. Is setting up a circle even possible in these circumstances?

Second question: I've researched different books and grimoires and want to try contacting an entity that might be able to help me learn the magical path, offer protection from malicious entities as I go through the trial-and-error phase, and perhaps help with other, more mundane issues in the future. Does anyone have a suggestion as to an entity willing to do this? Maybe not like an all-out evocation, but I could really use some guidance in magical practice or at least a nudge in the right direction. I've heard establishing a rapport with the entity goes a long way to encourage it to help you, but how does one actually go about doing that? (...that's three questions, isn't it...)

Honestly, I kind of feel like I'm working blindly at the moment. There's no one I can ask or even discuss this with, and I'm pretty sure if anyone knew I'm practicing ritual magick they'd either try to exorcise me or pray for me to "come back to the light". My mother is a fundamentalist right-wing Christian, and that's the environment I grew up in. I already know that's not MY path, but in the process of trying to figure out what my path is I'm realizing I have no idea what the next steps are. I've ALWAYS been attracted to the darker aspects of life; many personal tarot/astrology readings over the years have revealed a lot of Pluto/Saturn/Lunar influences which may explain that, but it's only now that I'm acting on these urges.

Again, sorry if these questions are too simple. It's difficult to try practicing on my own when I don't even know what I SHOULD be doing.

Breathing energy for health

  • Posted on July 20, 2011 at 9:30 am
Over the last couple of days, I've had a problem with a swollen cheek. I dont know what caused it. Perhaps it was some kind of allergy, or a bug bite, or a sinus infection.

But I was able to greatly lessen the severity of it overnight, after a great nights sleep. Here is how I did it.

Pick a color correspondence system that you feel in tune with. There are slight variations between systems.

Look up the color corresponding to healing.

Lay down or sit comfortably where you wont be disturbed. Close your eyes and relax. You are in no hurry. When you believe that the time is right to begin, then concentrate on how your entire bodies skin feels. Feel every breeze, your temperature, etc.

While concentrating on your skin, visualize being surrounded with that colored energy. Draw that healing energy to you.

Then with each breath (thru the nose), breathe in that colored energy in through your pores. Breathe smoothly and deeply. Fill your lungs.

Then, smoothly exhale (thru the mouth) the pain/disease/whatever is causing the problem.

When you have done this a number of times, then visualize that energy traveling to the problem area and healing it.

Do this as many times as you feel like, throughout the day.

Just concentrate on the visualizations and don't worry about anything else. Stay focused.

It worked for me.

Brand-new Chaote

  • Posted on July 8, 2011 at 4:50 pm
Well hello there. I'm a twenty-something from the snowy wastes of western Canada (currently hot, muggy and snowless) who, in a search for ethereal meaning a couple years ago, found his way to the ideas of Discordia and fell right comfortably into Eris' lovin' arms. Since then my studies have led me to the works of Austin Osman Spare, Peter Caroll, and some others (including of course Uncle Al) and the school of thought known as Chaos magic.

Now magic has more or less been around me since I was young (my grandmother, before she passed, was an affirmed Wiccan) but only in the past couple months have I tried to actually put any of this influence into effect in my own life. I've dabbled in sigil magic and have attempted to reach a state of gnosis (to use the modern term) but have typically fallen short (barring sexual gnosis, which nobody wants me to detail). I practice my meditation frequently and have for the past 3 weeks or so but I never quite achieve "it," if you get what I mean. So I need some help. Not only in this area but also, really, I'm just a little lost on where else to start; how to, if you will, go from being a dabbler to being a real mage. If I'm to look down the path of Chaos magic then I am to incorporate magic techniques and ideals from as vast a variety of sources as I can manage, but where do I turn to for guidance first? How can I get in touch with that inner self that has been avoiding my gaze?

Thanks in advance, friends.

Hecate?

  • Posted on June 15, 2011 at 3:42 pm
I recently had a flashback of a Salvia trip I experienced some time ago during tarot contemplations just recently and felt the need to check in here. I've been working on some energy development (as recommended by nytek), as well as developing further my ritual as I'm working through Donald Kreigs work. My ability to feel the energy from the middle pillar and circulation of light is also increasing.

Anyways this Salvia trip showed me something that initially I forgot, at the time I remember being not as well read into these things, and less experienced (I'm talking roughly over two years ago, one of my initial Salvia attempts before I knew how far in it can send someone, so I took a fairly high dose and held it long) and I think the contact experience was too powerful for me to remember fully at the time, although I had a vague sense of it happening.

Anyway, I ended up for a moment in what seemed like a deep cave, although it was so dark it may not have been. There was an old crone figure huddled up before a deep pit, a cauldron was bubling and burning away over this pit. As I moved closer the crone looked at me, and I peered into the pit which seemed to decend into the darkness, seeming to stretch forever. I was overcome with dread and backed away, she began to cackle and laugh at me as if in amusement at my actions.

Anyway since this flashback and my further studies and reading an old witchcraft handbook, I got the impression during my contemplation that it may have been Hecate. I was just wondering if anyone here has any experience with Hecate? Indeed I'm thinking you may need more than that to go on, but its all I've got and it seems somehow relevant. It felt like I was before an actual being that was aware of me. I'm going to do a quick search online also, but would be interested to hear peoples thoughts on this.

If this were Hecate, what would be the usual motivation for this? Or are there any other beings which I could, as a neophyte, easily mistake for Hecate?

*Just noticed this may be more appropriate to the other sections with salvia posts, however its more related to my level of understanding/the being itself, than the salvia so much (Could be wrong here though)

Hecate?

  • Posted on June 15, 2011 at 3:42 pm
I recently had a flashback of a Salvia trip I experienced some time ago during tarot contemplations just recently and felt the need to check in here. I've been working on some energy development (as recommended by nytek), as well as developing further my ritual as I'm working through Donald Kreigs work. My ability to feel the energy from the middle pillar and circulation of light is also increasing.

Anyways this Salvia trip showed me something that initially I forgot, at the time I remember being not as well read into these things, and less experienced (I'm talking roughly over two years ago, one of my initial Salvia attempts before I knew how far in it can send someone, so I took a fairly high dose and held it long) and I think the contact experience was too powerful for me to remember fully at the time, although I had a vague sense of it happening.

Anyway, I ended up for a moment in what seemed like a deep cave, although it was so dark it may not have been. There was an old crone figure huddled up before a deep pit, a cauldron was bubling and burning away over this pit. As I moved closer the crone looked at me, and I peered into the pit which seemed to decend into the darkness, seeming to stretch forever. I was overcome with dread and backed away, she began to cackle and laugh at me as if in amusement at my actions.

New to Stite and Practically new to Magick

  • Posted on June 11, 2011 at 1:58 pm

Hello to all.

I am new to the site and somewhat new to Magick (I have been practicing Hoodoo for a short time and find that I want to move on to something more.) Basically my goal in magick, is to be able to protect me and mines and to spiritually grow. I have read through some of the Beginner's forum posts here and have begun to compile a list of the books I can get my hands on (So far five today.) And have printed off the forum post for the "ERP" and "NAP". I was wondering if there were any further suggestions for me, as a newbie, to set me on a steady path???

Simple Shemhamforash Sorcery

  • Posted on June 6, 2011 at 11:25 pm
I love that series of books. It's seriously underrated. Anyway, digressions aside, here is a rather simple example of how to do Shemhamforash angel sorcery.

Begin with a name. Look up the name that is best attributed to having rule over what you seek to influence.
Tip: Google the 72 of them!

If you can, spend a day with the name in your memory, chanting it now and again even for a few minutes that day. Anything to immerse yourself on deeper levels. When ready for the rite, then chant this angel name to felt presence which may come as a pressure related to it's energy signature via intuition felt in your mind rather than outside you. That's fine.

To help the manifestation process and hone your projecting intent to evoke you can create a cloud in your mind and speak out to this cloud of energy as the evoked being while expecting him to be able to hear you. That is the mimicry method of astral evocation which should make the process quicker for those it can. The cloud should conform to the energy you are calling down into it and likely will change appearance to suit it. But not necessarily.

At this point of contact mentally project to it the desire you have. Just project the thoughts into that angelic energy signature and not just AT IT, while intending it to "hear" them. Ex. say: "<Angel Name>, it is my intent to do XYZ in the name of YHVH and by the powers of magick." This is part 1; stating your desires. You can use any beneficent higher power in place of YHVH technically.

Part 2 of the transmission: Keeping your focus, restart your chanting of the angelic name again in your head now, but now also focus on the goal as if it's already happened.

Begin to develop a split focus or awareness on the name/angelic presence as well as the goal at hand, both. Project all this energy of the imagined completed event into the angel, not "at it." If you can see the angel for this, great. If you can only focus on the feel of it, fine. If you can only believe it's aware of you without knowing, that's okay. Just give it all up to the angel until your desire burns out.

Eventually this split focus between completed goal and spirit you have created will become easy to sustain. At this point or soon after your desire will start to burn out and focusing on the task will become difficult. Don't resist. This is how the process goes.

State once more in closing, "<Angel Name>, I call upon you for XYZ. Go now and begin to reshape my future from this moment onwards such that XYZ comes to me, and I will pay you <item or service> within <time period> thereafter."

Give the license to depart by thanking it and telling it to go about it's business manifesting your goal in it's own realm until called upon next. Now just forget about this rite as quickly as possible, getting on with your day silently expecting a result. Because even when you don't feel them the Shems seem to arrive whether we know it or not, don't worry if you failed to sense them. Assume it was a success until you know for sure otherwise.

Note: There is a way to gain power for this unless you can easily invoke spiritual authority on your own without ritual. If you are considering the 72 angels to be Mercury Zone angels al la Bardon then you can call on Tahuti beforehand as in the Dee-Hay Thooth ritual from New Avatar Power to be used right before the evocation takes place. This ritual is posted elsewhere in this same subfolder under the thread with "NAP" in the title. Otherwise, go with the authority of YHVH if you view them another way as parts of the 72 lettered name of God.
