There are three concepts in Egyptian magick
I won't go too deeply into the fundamentals of it, this is a VERY rough outline of it.

The first of these is the Ka, the Ka is similar to the etheric double, infact its really another name for the etheric double, it is seen in many pictures as watching over the human self and guarding it, when you die the Ka is supposed to leave the body although may return to the mummified corpse or tomb and use it as a home. It also acts as a protector, similiar to the guardian angel. Just like the word spirit has many meanings today, so has the word Ka have many meanings. It would be hard to explain this correctly as I have little understanding of the Ka myself. It would be best to view it in the same way we would view the Etheric body as that is most like what it is.

The second is the Ba, or the soul. The concept of Ka and Ba is fairly close and the Ba can be seen as the Higher self in many aspects. As such this again are fairly similar to modern interpratations of the soul.

Sekham, The Power in a literal translation, or the energy and as many people call it, Prana. This is almost exact to the modern form of energy as it is the same, and so Sekham work is the same as energy work etc. Another interesting area of Sekham is the seven knots of Isis, they can often be viewed in a way like the seven Chakras although the names of them and correspondance is unknown, I plan on discovering this at a later date.


--------------
Now that we have understanding of the basic concepts of life, The Ka, Ba and Sekham we will take a look at Egyptian Ritual work and magick, or "Heka".

To use egyptian ritual one must understand Heka and its overall idea and purpose.
Heka means the Spoken word, and is in a sense the ancient kemetic depiction of moderns magick. Words have power, and Heka is a way of using those words.
Many aids are used for Heka, from pictures and candles to focus the energy and use it to wands and the vibration of holy names that can increase the flow of energy within them.
Utterances have power, but without something to focus them, they are not amazingly strong. That is why the use of tools, Heiroglyphs and pictures are always an important part of Performing the Rite as they allow you to strengthen your words with purpose and intent.
-----------------------

Heka is an important part, but more importantly is the godform. Assumption of the godform is an important part of egyptian magick, while with Heka you can make small changes and its similar to spell work, actual ritual was done in a Zep Tepi, or First time.

The Zep tepi is the back bone of kemetic ritual, the methods of doing so can be difficult and occasionally dangerous. The person should be properly grounded before performing this, the area and body should be purified and clean with all traces of negativity removed and banished. You should have a good knowledge of at LEAST the deity your assuming the form of and the actions you want performed.

You'll be recreating something that happened in the First time (Zep tepi) when the Neteru (Gods) roamed the land, etc while assuming the godform. So knowledge of ancient egypt myths are vital

Now then, lets place an example, You've been in a big fight lately, You lost it because of an unjust advantage your opponent had. Now you go home and prepare to do your ritual, you will be assuming the form of Lady Sekhmet, lady of the red sand who destroyed the rebel enemys of Ra. You'll be meditating on the lady sekhmet for awhile and preparing yourself for the action ahead. You should have a relationship of the god you call on and a good reason for doing the ritual. Purify the area around you, Mold the area around you to something that would be to the lady sekhmets liking.
And ground yourself intensely.


Now it is time to invoke her and assume the god form (Or in this case goddess form)

Imagine you becoming the goddess sekhmet, stand in the same way as most statues of her depict her, Say something along the lines of

"Oh lady Sekhmet, glorious lady of the red sands who did destroy those rebels who Ra detesteth, Oh you who would fight the evil serpent and banish him I praise thee and most sincerely I do invoke thee"
Of course it should be a little longer than that.
You should feel her presence, it will be powerful, Imagine you are her, that her body is yours and that it is over taking your body. You will still have control of it, but she will have power over it too.
Now it may be hard to move, with practice you can move a little easier until its almost easy (Limbs will still be heavy)

Move your hand slowly forwards and touch a candle, say aloud identifying yourself with her.
"The hand of Sekhmet touches this candle, for I am Sekhmet, I am she who did destroy the rebels who Ra detesteth"
Again, make it a little longer and more heartfelt.

Now you will re-enact a scene from the primordial times or Zep tepi, where Sehkmet destroyed the humans who rebelled against Ra

"O [Name of enemy] You have rebelled against Ra and he detesteth you, As I sehkmet did destroy those enemies of Ra I shall destroy you, for my wrath is great and Just, you shall suffer and be punished for thy mistake in harming follower of mine [your name] and punishment shall come to you in what you deserveth"

This again is fairly short and should be longer.
If I was doing a ritual I would make it Far longer to this, I would prepare offerings etc as will be shown here.

A step by step guide

1. Wash yourself (purity in Egyptian magick is essential, if you follow traditions) and put robes or clean clothes used for magickal workings on

2. Banishment ritual and grounding, prepare space of working

3. If you do it, Cast a circle if not then shield yourself.

4. A quick prayer to Sekhmet [or the deity you plan on invoking]

5. Give offerings

6.Wait a few seconds, then assume god form

7. Perform Zep Tepi

8. Closing prayer to Sehkmet and thank her

9. Close the circle if you cast it

10. Thank any gods for coming



------------------------------------------------------

I mentioned earlier about Utterances and heiroglyphs etc
While Zep Tepi is an important part of ritual, so is images, words and tools of working. I would put things that symbolise the goddess sekhmet into the ritual for example, and her name in heiroglyphs etc this would strengthen her manifestation and therefore the power of the Rite.

There are three concepts in Egyptian magick
I won't go too deeply into the fundamentals of it, this is a VERY rough outline of it.

Ritual Key:

Description: By affirming conciliation with the highest we gain the ability to call the descending entities below that power which are subservient to it. This is the general premise of Enochian Watchtower magick. Though Dee & Kelly never drew a pentagram, this is a functional premise put forth by me and one which pliably bends into the Golden Dawn format easily enough.

-Recite 1st + 2nd Enochian Keys hopefully from memory if possible.

-Enochian Middle Pillar Ritual using the 4 lettered tablet of union names to flood our chakras.

-Enochian Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram drawing down & balancing IAD BALT's light within, who is thee highest Enochian God and ruler to whom the sun and moon both are but weapons.

-After the Calvary Cross, this will be followed up with the conjuring of all divine names of God in each element down to evoking the presence of the Elemental Kings of each quarter. This is easier than it sounds. It isn't a full-blown evocation of them.

---Having evoked the presence of the Kings in each quarter one may then petition the kings for acts of mercy or judgment at this time if they are "pure" requests. Or....
---Recite now the key of the specific tablet and subangle the entity dwells in (ex. a cherub of fire subangle of earth tablet; ie, a fire of earth elemental).

-Conjuration of the specific entity begins, chanting, "Come, <Spirit N.>!" and trace in light the name on the appropriate Enochian Tablet. Or if no tablet, merely chant to the blob of energy you've formed and refined until it conforms to the energy of the name you are chanting.
--or--
-make a sigil using the Rose Cross's hebrew letter arrangement and tracing a design with paper over it through each letter, starting with a loop and ending with a flat line and use this to evoke the entity al la Chapter 5 of Evoking Eternity by Koetting or your own preferred system. Obviously you can skip the warm-up part and jump straight to activating the sigil and drawing down the entity. You shouldn't need to however as the energy is refined step by step and has to obey by virtue of the higher power being called before it.

I will post the rituals themselves soon or tomorrow.

Hello all, this my first post here :)

I was wondering if anybody had any ideas about how/which angels to ask the Enochians for financial help. By that I mean something holistic like help in getting a new/secondary job to take control of my life rather than nagging the angels for spare change (and yes, I have at least doing the job hunting work on the physical plane) .

My first instinct was to petition Iczihihal, the Earth King which I've already done, but the ritual I performed lacked the 'umph' that I get when I do a satisfying ritual, mainly because my psychic abilities are rather dull when it comes to scyring.

How would you go about doing this?

As requested here is my Ritual work that I've been undertaking for 22 days in a row, tonight will be my 23rd.

I'm following roughly Donald Kreigs introductory lessons in High Magick.

I use a make-shift altar that will do for now but ultimatly is far from finished and not in the correct place etc. I do my rituals sitting up in bed with the altar beside the bed. I'm working on converting my attic into a ritual space with a more detailed altar, but followed Kreigs advice to begin with what I could already.

My current altar is a wooden washing basket with a black T-shirt draped over :P

I represent the four directions with a white feather for air, a piece of a very old yew tree quite local to me as the fire wand. For water and earth I literally have 2 old eggcups I found (which is very funny to me as they are kids ones and have the ninja turtles on them lol 2 of the names being the same as the 4 archangels I also call in for the 4 directions). In one eggcup water, the other some potting soil. I'm working with whats available until better suited items turn up.

I have on the altar a masculine obelisk and feminine large rough rose quartz. I also have Merlinite, known to some as the stone of Magick.

A candle in the centre, some incense burning if I have any

Finally a more recent addition is a paper drawing of what will later be my pantheon represented in statues.

This is as follows:
Thoth
Osiris /Amun Ra
Isis/Hathor

The Relaxation Ritual


Tarot Contemplation Ritual

As I posted before, I am going to be working more with the Planetary Energies. I was wondering about imbalances then I realized somethng.
The order of the planets balances them out. The neighbors of the planets keep the energies, well, healthy.

• Saturn – Limits, seriousness, rigidness, heavy thoughts. It is kept in balance by the good fellowship and leadership of Jupiter.
• Jupiter – Growth, expansion, proserperity, leadership, good fortune and merrymaking. It is kept in balance by Saturn which applies limits and Mars which prevents it from being taken advantage of.
• Mars - combat, strength, assertion, power and aggesiveness. It is kept in balance by the benign leadership of Jupiter and the nurturing power of the Sun.
• The Sun – The Self, growth, nurturing, health, vitality, well being. It is kept in balance by Mars so no one takes advantage of it and Venus reminding us it is love so arrogance is avoided.
• Venus – love, sensuality, harmony, beauty, balance, lust and feelings. The Sun reminds us to see all these healthy and Mercury makes sure we do not go overboard with the feelings.
• Mercury – Intelligence, rational thought, planning, trickery, sneakiness. Venus makes sure it is not just intelligence while the Moon shows us that things are not always clear cut.
• The Moon – Visions, dreams and dreaminess, madness, psychic work. Mercury keeps us from getting lost in our visions.

Just a thought that occurred to me this morning.

I just ordered this book written by one of Fords inner-circle people. Looks good, it is a remake of a Franz Bardon book.

Excerpted from www.frateramadeus.com-- for the complete ritual and a full commentary visit there


-----------------------------------------------------------------------
2.1 What is the purpose of the rite?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The Supreme Ritual of the Aeon is a rite that will focus and clarify one's link with his or her higher self. This is achieved through the ceremonial and symbolic enactment of the death of the "ego" -- letting go of "who you think you are" so that your "true self" might manifest.

Through this purification and alignment of self one will also purify, as a matter of consequence, his or her environment. In this sense, the rite acts as a traditional "banishment".

Use of this ritual also brings about changes on a Macrocosmic level. Just as traditional societies are formed by bonds of common values, interests, or morals -- as we each align as individuals to the higher within us, we so become linked by our own spiritual nature.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
2.2 What can one expect from performing the rite?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Non-adept followers of "magickal" paths, including non-initiates and neophytes, will achieve varied results ranging from nothing at all; to dreams of unusual clarity and lucidity; to dreams of profound significance; to remembering "long forgotten" memories; to an increase in "intuition"; to having a greater clarity and understanding of one's "purpose"; to an increase in "empathy"; to clarity of thought; to what can only be described as "a cohesive solar-venusian energy that accompanies a sense of well-being".

Adept followers of "magickal" paths, defined here as those with either empathic abilities, or exposure to magickal rites and currents such that they are able to detect subtle changes in themselves, will receive results that range from all the effects described above; to the use of the astral / dream world as an evolutionary "training ground" by the higher self; through to outright journey in the spirit vision.

In general the effects of the rite can be both profound and subtle. The greatest acknowledgement of success is observed through a linear analysis of one's growth and evolution, over time -- either through review of diary entries or self-reflection.

In all cases, continued use of the ritual will likely result in both increased and enhanced results.

[...]

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
3.1 How did the work come about?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The Supreme Ritual of the Aeon began as an effort by ***** ****** to design a personal version of the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram; a common banishing ritual used in the practice of ceremonial magick.

The experience is described as follows:

[...] the rite itself came to me outside of my conscious understanding -- not so much as any kind of single mystical experience -- but rather as what I would describe as "clarity of thought" with a "definite focus" that continued on as an unfolding process. Looking back, I would suggest that I was acting as a scribe for either my own higher self, or to what is known in traditional ceremonial magick writings as an external "intelligence".

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
3.2 What is the history / timeline behind the work?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The rite was developed from late 1991 through mid-to-late 1992. The rite subsequently evolved through various stages, as the circumstances of time and life permitted, during the period of 1992 - 1995. The ritual and commentary as they appear today, save editing, were complete by April of 1996.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
3.3 This looks a lot like [insert traditional ritual name here] -- what makes it different?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

There is no question that this work follows the same framework that is present in the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram (LBRP), Star Ruby, and a myriad of other works -- it is unmistakably based upon this tradition of "ceremonial magick".

One might argue what makes any of these works different.

In this work, we find the following unique attributes:

a) The ritual begins with a "recognition of initiation" whereupon we take responsibility to accept the changes we bring upon ourselves. In doing this, we also metaphorically begin our journey as Ankh-f-n-Khonsu from life, to death, to rebirth. Ankh-f-n-Khonsu is a manifestation of the universal Birth-Life-Death-Rebirth formula to become a "cosmic journey of the soul" as it is known to the tradition of Thelema. Ankh-f-n-Khonsu represents the promise of "death of self" without loss of the physical body -- that is, the "death of ego". It is noteworthy to mention that we follow the journey of Ankh-f-n-Khonsu throughout the ceremony.

b) Traditional banishing ceremonies use the names of "higher powers" to "ward" or "banish" so-perceived "negative influences". This ceremony does not make any such distinction but instead seeks to change our perspective of "negative influences" so that they no longer maintain power over us. This is achieved by acknowledging the perfection of our will at any given moment in time -- that is to say, we gently remind ourselves that we are in control of our path and where we are right now comes as the direct result of the choices we have made thus far -- so ultimately, we are exactly where we have chosen to be and surrounded by exactly what we have chosen to surround ourselves with.

c) The introduction and use of a new key "word of power", namely; "AMADEUS". "Amadeus", when analyzed by the Qabbalah, metaphorically represents the soul as a unique, perfect, spiritual entity, greater than the sum of its parts, resulting from the union of Male and Female; Love and Will. It is a combined Qabbalistic / Thelemic representation of the universal "higher self". The following is an excerpt, albeit with footnotes removed, from "The Supreme Ritual of the Aeon: Commentary"--

Amadeus is the son, itself a new being but formed from the supernal barren mother (Ama) fertilized by the God (Deus). Amadeus, the "Beloved of God" is then Ra-Hoor-Khuit, the mystical union of will and love, the unity of the son bound with a crown, here a mystery of Venus, for it reflects the wonderment of life, the pure joy which all motion through the universe is-- it represents the spiritual purpose each creation has, that which makes it special-- which is why it exists in the first place.

And this is too expressed by the latin-english mix "Am a deus", that is, "Am a God".

But Amadeus is not merely descriptive of the son; it contains within itself a formula of initiation.

For Amadeus is not a noun, but a verb, and as a verb it is an injunction to LOVE GOD, that is, to both accept and emulate the masculine (phallic, will-ful) side of one's self, and to respect and admire with wonder all that which will has placed in one's path (for one never knows when a certain chance symbol may be of supreme importance-- "the stone that the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner.")

It shows us that unity is to be found through AMA (love) and DEUS (will) and thus represents the Thelemic code "Love is the Law, Love under Will" in it's highest and most esoteric form.

Amadeus numerates to 111, and to 671 with the Mem taken as a Mem Sofit. 111 is the number of Aleph (PLA, 111), and implies the highest unity. It is the same "God of Justice" written of in the Enochian calls, and the AUM (MOA, 111) of the Buddhists. We also find the Hebrew "He is one God" (MYHLA AUH DChA, 111) which, by virtue of Elohim (the masculine plural of a feminine singular), again asserts the god-nature within all things. In An Essay on Number, Crowley writes, "This is the most clear and definite help we have yet had, showing Samadhi and the Destruction of the Ego as gates of our final victory."
We find 671 as the number of Adonai, the Holy Guardian Angel, spelt in full (DUY NUN TLD PLA, 671) and also of the Law (AROT, Tora, 671) the Gate (ORAT, Taro, 671) the Wheel (ATOR, Rota, 671) and the Lady of the path of Daleth (ROTA, Athor, 671). Of this Crowley writes, "This important number marks the identity of the Augoeides with the Way itself ("I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life") and shows the Taro as a key; and that the Law itself is nothing else than this."

d) There is a significant "qabbalistic" relationship between the various "words of power" that the author believes is not present in similar, traditional works.

e) The use of "virtues" instead of "Archangels" of "Energies" to promote "real world" values that will aid the adept in his evolution. Thus, "who the adept might be" is not challenged, fixed, or "bogged down" by specific energy-forms, but rather given wings through virtues of his choosing that promote his self and identity.

does anyone know which Goetia spirit is most useful in facing and overcoming fear. Can you also give me any advice in working with the spirit

Blessings

I have personally seen a number of people on this forum have in the past expressed an interest in learning the art and technique of clairaudience. Perhaps this is to attempt to read and decipher the thoughts of others that in most leak through the aura (much like how physical light is converted into electrochemical signals to be viewed, auras can be converted into visions, etc.).... yes, this truly can be done! And how surprised a person is when you tell them exactly what they're thinking, verbatim typically, and in the proper tone of voice heard and described, etc. "But... but... I must have said it out loud!", they'll stammer in amusement and partial denial at the supernatural horror witnessed before them (lol).

The only problem with this process is that it requires the ability to acquire rapport with the person and establish a silenced state of deep focus before activating your psychic auditory senses. It's not for the complete beginner, nor is it something you can expect to necessarily bang out on command perhaps ever.

Perhaps, more pragmatically for the typical magickian, you instead wish for this form of communication with the spirits; hearing booming spiritual voices of the chosen entity all around and within you or manifested otherwise in suiting characteristics.

Still, much like a person who learns to operate a microscope then gains a new deeper understanding of their reality thereby, you too will begin to see yourself just taking on this new form of profound sensitivity toward a different... subtle type of vibration, now, one much different than that coarse vibration which forms sound in our physical plane, but only if you can approach this that I share below with both belief that it is possible and sincerity in your practice. Lukewarm efforts give lukewarm results.

I should say to the dabblers that one ought to not be surprised when they hear that this is a talent that spontaneously awakens at some point after a period of practice for most as well... most likely after the belief that it's impossible has eroded allowing the magickian to break through into the possibility of actually focusing in and hearing something without a wall of doubt and uncertainty obscuring and diffusing the path of psychic sound. Consider that with a few moments of contemplation before proceeding.

Ideas:
Perform Iza's "Receptive as a Cup Ritual": .

A pre-NLP technique Crowley suggested was to endeavor to find center of voice in the mind, being the place where the sensation of your internal voice arises from, and to learn to silence it. This will require self-observation skills. I suggest homework for the serious hopeful student consisting in part as vipassana meditation. The objective of that is maintaining mindfulness with the building of equanimity toward what is being minded; the technique to do so being a constant sweeping of sensation and experience. This kind of desired rapid "self"-awareness-building is just what you likely may need.

You must learn to activate your astral ears and to silence your mind while maintaining one pointed focus on the desired entity or person. Toward that end here is another one I call "the cups on ears trick", which is pretty famous and stands prexisting. To do this merely imagine one large cup over both of your ears. Experience how this changes the air pressure felt by the ear, and the sound inside the cup, etc. Don't let your physical senses distract you. Make it real and you will feel some sort of a psychic pressure building just like how staring at a spot on the hand makes it throb and pulse... which also can be stimulated by visualization and applied intent. ie. Imagination and active belief.

Another way to learn to activate the auditory senses would be the "ice or snow in ears trick" or additionally substituting the sensation of dry heat. One can deduce this from the above and aforementioned.

Also worthwhile is the practice of jaw relaxation. You'd be surprised at the tension you may keep in your jaw and how relaxing this and releasing this can effect you. Tension is typically distracting or at least discomforting. One step beyond simple relaxation is the concept proposed by Robert Monroe of jaw tuning. See how trying these things or speaking even with different placement of the jaw in an attempt to center it effects the voice and also posture and other things like the energy bodies.

You may not immediately believe it but another method to tuning the senses is actually the physical voice. This is because to sing the scales (eg. Do-Re-Me-Fa al la Sol Fetch), takes focus on the pitch and qualities of the voice. This will naturally impart a certain sensitivity to your internal measurements as well.

Read body language interpretation books by competent folks who are also authors. Such an analysis of the how and why of human behavior will be insightful into communications and the cultural assumptions and other flavorings of personality. In your research try to figure out which authors are clearly incompetent and this is not so simple as to see who has a degree in psychology or by some other status symbol. You may look on scribd.com, or google books (books.google.com) right now, after this post.

Another great meditation is hidden in the copying of songs in detail into your memory. This is done one part at a time, such as small segments of one instrument. Advanced work is to then play back multiple instruments at once; trying to mentally recreate and play this entire song back later. But you don't want to merely recreate it ... no ... you'll want to imagine HEARING it passively; to make it as real as possible and as much like the original as possible rather than something generalized and flawed by memory.

Produce and begin to hear in your astral ears a ringing sound. This can be imagined to sound just like the common way that ears may "ring" after a loud concert. When momentum is achieved and the sound is there then modulate the volume and frequency and pitch of it as wildly and as high and low as you can. At the end on command stop the sound at once and return to normal consciousness as quickly as possible. Ground and center yourself.

A build up or advanced tweak on the former astral-hearing activation exercises are to stimulate the ears and then link them together. Focus on your astral ears again and on stimulating them to pulsing or pressure. When you have them or one solidly in your awareness then work on connecting bands of white glowing light from inside one ear, across the face and over mouth, and back up to your other ear. Do this again but instead now go behind the head in this same way interconnecting way. Each time you connect, send some pulses of light shooting back and forth on the cords from ear to ear, in such a way that they thereby are made to be synced up. One can imagine the benefits of being able to have both hemispheres of hearing in the brain able to communicate in a balanced way as is cross-migrationally proposed in Regardie's theories on importance of the same between the levels of the soul given through the middle pillar and tree of life building rituals he proposed.

This is the start, not the end, and is composed of stuff off the top of my head. In research and with imagination you'll explore the principles in time and form your own techiques or be gifted them instead from "above." To that very end may your genius always be whispering you encouragement taking you onwards toward which you may become.

Self-Immolation Rite - Moon Sphere
(first sphere encountered: Tree of Wyrd)

Essential oil of bergamot, sweet flag/calamus and licorice are the three strongest controlling magick elements.

I was told one's Will has to be stronger than one's target as it's a battle of minds, so to speak.

Also, a problem mamy encounter... The spell they cast or that was cast on their behalf *did* reach the target but they simply resisted it instead of giving in, which is a bummer...

And yeah... Sometimes, the target even gets hostile, so to speak, and resents the caster or client of the caster...


Therefore... One shall be very skilled and slick when working such magick so it does not backfires but only brings positive results.

It's a seduction trick. No matter what the goal is -romance, favor, employment etc.-, the caster and the spirit(s) involved shall succeed in taming the target and bringing them to a state of docility where they feel those brand new thoughts are their own...

Only then, they will give in and reciprocate in a manner that will satisfy the caster or client.

Basically, on the way home from somewhere I'd seen some cute girl, and I was bored and had been previously vampirizing some of the other passengers to pass the time. That in mind, then I'm fairly adept by now at gaining psychic rapport with most people at a distance, even from miles away, but here it was happening only from across the room ... distance doesn't really play a factor in this particular art.

I say to myself with enthusiasm reminiscent of my dabbling days, more or less, "Why don't I just reach into someone else's life right now, and see if I can't do what I did to my wife at work ... except right now in real time before me." There's a cute girl who hasn't noticed me and I figure I'll start there to see if I can make her to do so using only magick.

Now ... basically you need to understand that there is a form of terrestrial magick involving techniques which cause one to enmesh their aura with that of another to thereby cause them to receive impressions or suggestions after that (eg. then telepathing shit into their subconscious in your own voice while doing what actions I'll describe on the train next after this), or it can cause some change in belief or behavior through energy manipulation (just like how a tv commercial can make you hungry sometimes). This is a more direct mind-to-mind level of communication and seduction which most guys or gals never gain access to anyway save the feeling of someone you consider your, "your soulmate" ... which to me is a role someone is programmed to fill from a young and impressionable age anyway. Sorry for being so cold in your eyes there! haha But here you go anyway -- and now you can do this too.

So to reiterate my former allusion, I did this certain thing on my wife while she was at work. I chose her thinking like could never have any trouble feeling and connecting to her energy -- I'm a psychic vampire and energy patterns remain in mind like a catalog most times. Energy sensitivity is what makes for powerful magick here -- which is why I think you ought to explore energy development like tai chi, chi gung or whatever that one is, or psychic vampirism or everything. Opening up and receiving daily relaxing reiki helps too.

So my wife, she came home from work and said to me, "Did you do something to me while I was at work today?"
Me, I heard this and lit up instantly, but trying to contain excitement while trying not to lead her to an answer, "Hmm? Do WHAT exactly?"
And she explained that, not in a usual way, she started becoming bombarded with sexual thoughts only about me and was becoming aroused at work. This persisted even though she kept trying to force said thoughts out and focus on her job. I knew I was onto something here. This stuff works!

The second time I did this randomly, she asked me if I'd done it again, and she was right much to my chagrin. IT WORKS! In all fairness there was third time she came home and guessed but she was wrong. Two out of three random blind guesses? And without even knowing that I'd be doing it beforehand? No coincidences here ... now I was definitely onto something.

So let's get back to the "present tense" of this recounting, which is about 1-2 weeks ago on the muni-train. With me there are three kinda plain, average, and AFC looking guys there. One of them the farthest away from me was decent looking for a dude but really cookie-cutter bland; the other two were nerdy-ish. So I'm sitting next to them one seat over on this long bench. There is the girl standing there about 7'-9' away at a roughly 45 degree angle to our right. Time to play....


Gaining Rapport
I start by feeling her energy; what it feels like to be her. I then visualize loosely that I'm making a golden warm bubble around her and I ... something which excludes all other passengers from our personal environment of warmth and comfort. As I do that, suddenly and instantly I can feel then that I'm aware of her even when I'm not looking directly at her (it's impolite to stare). It's just like that feeling you can get when someone is staring at you, but it's more friendly as in when two people connect from across a room before approaching each other. You get what I mean. She can likely feel my focus on her and why I am doing so more or less, but I'm not drooling over her like most other guys--I have self-control and confidence that makes me different and valuable than guys who think they need to try to overtly dump sleaze on a girl aka "charming her".


Establishing Comfort
After this, as is so often the case for many women, comfort must be established for a seduction to begin. Thus I begin my best seductive acting job in my mind while sitting basically motionless there, and cruel as I knew it was to toy with someone, really -- girls do this sort of thing to guys physically at bars and such all the time -- turning guys on and then letting them go fuck themselves for all they care. haha So then I began thinking pleasant warm thoughts, focusing on them, letting them become strong. I took these feelings of my thoughts, I pictured sending them forth in streams like one does with lots of psi-balls. I started saying "into" her, connected to her by the bubble, "I just want to do so well for you sweetie", "I want to make you feel so happy with me", "You're so beautiful to me and precious", blah blah, really convincing myself I feel this way for her, and I'm going on for a few minutes just turning thoughts like these into pink bubbles as I'm beaming them from out of my body into where her heart chakra is, imagining and believing her to receiving them. Knowing it's happening is enough. Only the greenest beginners get caught up in chasing after perfect visualizations.


Increasing the Seduction Aspect
Already I'm getting looks from her, my target; these side glances we are sharing. I catch as she, from her 45 degree angle peers at then above me to the right and out the window. This blonde; scoop-nose, probably about 20-22 as I recall the details for you. At this point now, I took this as a sign it was high time to switch over to ramping up the sexual response via turning my fingertip into her clit, or two fingers forming her pussy (for girls, imagine your finger is a dick, I read), and I imagine rushes of flames seering down my arm filling the fingertip spot and the surrounding area of my fingertip throbs with heat and tingling, but it doesn't feel like my finger anymore as much as it feels like a part of her through belief.

Remember that this is all instantly happening due to your psychic proximity. While you're warming up her clit, I began simultaneously picturing and project outward her thrashing around on the bed in deep lust for more of my touch, BUT YOU CANNOT GET TURNED ON during what you imagine, because it creates lust for result and then you're just some person thinking dirty thoughts about passengers on the subway. (hahaha) So in my case you have to be turned on for her more or less simply than that. You need to be detached from the outcome and only focused on imagining what she looks like while turned on, projecting this too towards her.


Switch It Up
More bombardment with pink psi-bubbles, and then more psychic link seduction, more bubbles, more linking, back and forth quickly and slowly... then I performed another technique called "the etheric tug", on her. And this one is POWERFUL.


The Etheric Tug
I pictured myself sending out and putting a cord into her sacral chakra. I stopped the visualization once I felt connected to said sacral. This is the chakra of creativity, defining sexuality, one's sense of security, and so on. I began pulling on this chakra with my invisible hands, pulling the chakra and the cord toward and into myself with invisible etheric arms. While I'm doing this I telepath more things into her mind with pink and red bubbles, and visualize myself standing in front of her with wind blowing around me, looking like a God, picturing her walking towards me like I saw a girl walking lost in love and lust toward the demon Sitri. By now I was getting solid looks from her and a few times we looked at each other at the same time and looked away quickly. That is like the ultimate bingo moment when that happens. You have solidly established some form of silent rapport. At this point, I could have approached her even with something mundane and started a conversation. The topic wouldn't even matter that much compared to my vibe, like that time on the NYC subway when I "smoothly" asked some girl for needless directions and then to walk with me to show me where that thing was, and we wound up at a diner near to her apartment. (lol) At some point the words don't even matter. She knew what I really wanted--and so did I with her. Though that time had nothing magickal like this one and I was actually interested in said girl.


Aftermath
The next stop eventually came which was hers, she got out, walking close toward me and turning, taking a trajectory that gave me a pretty amazing view of her ass assumedly on purpose judging from the sauntering walk she did while going away and from the odd angle she didn't have to take on the platform which only prolonged the view.

Then I heard it, and it made my fucking day. The older more handsome of the trio of dudes says, "DUDE!", to his friends, "Did you see that hot chick BLUSHING?", "Yeah, I know, she was totally checking us out, man."
And meanwhile I'm thinking to myself silently that if she blushed then I had just definitely pierced her mind. This was my grand confirmation just like with my wife. I smiled for their illusion which was a hollow victory ... I mean that if I were single and a pretty damn cute and sexy girl was blushing as I thought her to be checking me out, looking in my direction ... and I didn't say "hi", or ask for the time at the very least, then I'd have to slam the tip of my dick in a car door to test that it still feels anything. (Pardon me.)

Not only was I getting looks, but guys who were probably drooling over her could clearly see how she was showing obvious physical signs of excitement; signs my new friends could see from over 6' away. On hearing this success story, my wife thought the guys reaction was funny, because she also understood what the girl must have been feeling it seemed.

In the end even as inconsequential as these acts are, I pictured my future potential and felt like I could reach into peoples lives from any distance and spread seeds of plague or pleasure within them at my will and discretion. I felt like the God locked away within me was becoming more and more uncaged each time something like this happened. I know you will too.


I'm including an additional more neutral example of energy work to illustrate the above principles:
To top that off, this happened on the way walking out of the station. I approached the exit-turnstyles but ahead of me my path was suddenly blocked by a fellow passenger. I'd have to change turnstyles. I felt like playing some more. I then willed that woman who moved into the path of the turnstyle I was headed towards to leave. I started by believing I was pushing an extremely heavy lead cart up close behind her, visualizing it in my mind (I was 9' away easily, but I'd have to switch turnstyles by the time she stopped and went through. I also began pushing her energy over and telepathing to "move now", and similar things you can imagine. So she wobbles back and forth in front of me, mostly standing in my lane. She hesitates on her final decision, and then at the last second takes a few steps for some reason back to the left, back to the turnstyle she originally chose. I overrode her will which to me was almost as shocking as the occurence of stopping a previously very busy NYC street suddenly at my silent command, on a challenge from skeptical friends, and for over 30 pin-drop silent seconds at least.

USE YOUR WILL. EXERCISE IT. AWAKEN. ;)

This is basically something I've adapted to be used with the system I've posted in Black Magick called The Descending Hierarchies of John Dee, which a link to can be found

here

here

. This rite will keep in theme and also support the evocation of so-called evil elementals or and will work with whatever quarter guardians you decide to use -- but please for your own benefit DO NOT USE the Archangels for this rite. It won't work in this context. I would use the classic elemental-Gods of demonolatry.


The Rite of Averse Star


The Averse Cruciform
(A Variant on the Kaballistic Cross)


Stand or be seated facing South-West. Light pranayama until settled. Become aware of this violet light GLOWING in a noticeable way up above your head; know that this is the essence of the Dark Gods, that it is everywhere and through everything: omnipresent, and solidifying for you now; reacting to your will and thickening or thinning the atmosphere accordingly. Take a moment until the reality sets in to begin to more profoundly recognize this energy despite your physical senses and what they tell you before moving along.

You may, for additional rapport with the system, watch this violet-black glowing ball of LIGHT, shining down on you, with it in the third eye glowing brighter and brighter only as fast as you can chant with meaning from memory: "DOH-SEE-GAH, KAN-EE-LAH, AH-DOH-HEE, LOO-KEY-FAY". These are the four secret names of Satan as manifested in the elements (spelled phonetically), and are the Names of the Four Palaces of Tartartus; being, The Palaces of the Night, of the Blood, of the Kingdom, and of the Bright One.

Reach up above your crown. You can pull down a streamer of this glowing violet-black LIGHT, and you can really see this happening, it coming down with the magnetic pull of your right hand and right above and onto your crown chaka as always. Feel it there beaming down coded light--the certain associated pressures, or warmth, or tingling, or heat, or coldness--whatever is easiest to allow to come to mind as you think about this, just feeling these subtle feelings you can sense and knowing it is really happening in the form of a purple-black glowing ball of light as you intone with heavy concentration:
"GA-HEY" [ie. "Thou art"]

Pull the light down by will and direction to the groin/root center, and feel the violet-black energy vivifying and stirring this chakra too, making a purple-black basketball sized orb here as well, feeling your connection between above and below, spirit and matter, as the light continues downward and becomes grounded into the Earth beneath you as well, while you are saying:
[i]"EE-AL-PUH-REG-GIE" ]ie. burning flames]

Pull the light back up to the groin and over to the right hip. There form a ball of violet superimposed over the right hip like as with the shoulder typically in GD's LBRP, saying aloud:
"FAH-BOH-AHN" [ie. poison]


Pull a line of light from this ball across to the left hip and make and feel a swirling violet ball there as well, vibrating:
"OH-DA VON-PHA-OH" [ie. and wrath,]

Extend your arms in the sign of Osiris Slain, vibrating, "Go-Hey-Dah!" [ie. "eternal!"]

Reflect upon the cross and the linked balances struck between heaven and hell, also between personal malice and the unimpinged forces of destruction before going on. You have now drawn down and balanced the black light in a structure relevant to the system at hand.

This is basically something I've adapted to be used with the system I've posted in Black Magick called The Descending Hierarchies of John Dee, which can be found here. It will bring forth the fiery and darker aspects of whatever quarter guardians you use -- but please for your own benefit DO NOT USE the Archangels for this rite.

[b]
The Rite of Rending the Demonic Veil
(A Variant on the Kaballistic Cross)


Become aware of violet light above your head; this is the essence of the Dark Gods, omnipresent, solidifying for you; reacting to your will.

Pull a streamer of this glowing violet LIGHT, down with your right hand onto your crown. Feel it beaming down on your crown chakra--the pressure, or warmth, or tingling, or heat, or coldness--whatever is easiest to imagine feeling, just feel this as you intone:
"Ga-Hey" ["Thou art"]

Pull the light down by will and direction to the groin/root center, and feel the violet energy vivifying and rotating this chakra as well, feeling your connection between above and below, saying:
[i]"Lo-New-Dah" ["The Kingdom"]

Pull the light back up to the groin and over to the right hip. There form a ball of violet superimposed over the right hip like as with the shoulder typically in GD's LBRP, saying aloud:
""

Pull a line of light from this ball across to the left hip and make and feel a swirling violet ball there as well, vibrating:
