I’m currently interested in focusing my study and practice of magick into ecstatic states.

If any of you know a an exercise, practice, book or magickal system I could get into in order to get closer to the experience of a ecstatic state, I would be very thankful.

I woke up with these marks othe side of my finger. They appeared overnight. They don't hurt. They aren't burns or sores... More like beauty marks. Could this have a spiritual meaning?

Some time ago I had a dream where I saw a sigil of some entity. In the dream I felt that it could be potentially evil and/or dangerous. In order not to forget what this sigil looks like, I drew an image of it in my phone (I don’t know how spirits get along with saved pictures in Telegram, hope they are okay with this). I keep a personal diary and want to transfer this sigil there, but I don’t know how to protect the contents from influence, and not summon someone by a stupid mistake.

What would you do in this situation? Can you advise me on how to do this? The initial ideas were as follows:

1. Express the sigil using mathematical formulas. Sine, cosine, all that stuff... The problem is that trigonometry is still on the list of magical disciplines that I haven’t mastered. I wanted to find a workaround by looking for a website that generates a formula from a drawing, but it turns out there aren't any.
2. Draw parts of the sigil on different pieces of paper, not connected together so the lines don't form a drawing, and then paste them on one page in the wrong order. Not sure about this method.

3.1 Draw a protective circle in the journal and draw the sigil in it. Problem is that I'm not sure what it is: a sigil/sign or something else. People discussed here some methods of "deactivating" sigil, but are there any ways to safely contain sigil? Maybe apply a salt and ink solution in a circle on a journal page and place the sigil there? 3.2 Same method as above + LBRP before. 4. Draw "disassembled" sigil and write the order for making a proper image of it. 5. Draw 1/4 of sigil, encrypt 1/4 in riddle, encrypt 1/4 in origami, encrypt 1/4 in Caesars cipher or something. 6. Just write down how to draw it.

So, the questions are: How to express an magickal image without drawing it? How many layers of paranoia would you use if you were me?

Just wondering if anyone knows what it might mean?

Can I use sigils as a way to channel energy, similar to how connected wires transmit power? By doing so, will it help the spell manifest more quickly than the typical waiting period associated with spellcasting? Is it possible for this method to be effective?

So basically since I was a little kid, I always saw things, figures, shadows i was maybe 7-9 years when i dreamed with the devil i srill rememberhe was tall and was in front of me but didn't do anything he just stared at me all night after that i never had these dreams anymore my first sleep paralysis, I remember my mother being called to school because I didn't play with the other children and used to talk to the plants and animals, then when adolescence began I started to have other types of "powers" like divination and healing? I remembered when I woke up after dreaming about the death of my aunt and then when I woke up, she actually died in that day after a few minutes when I woke up, something that happened recently was also, my friend and her bf had broken up and over the weekend I had a dream that they would get back together on the weekend on a Saturday and they would be together, on Monday I asked her if they had gotten back together and that I had dreamed about it and she said shocked that yes they had gotten back together on the day I had the dream when i told her that she said that she actually got scared and shocked that i dreamed about that in that precise day. I always had the urgency to heal things and people and since adolescence started that urgency has become more idk, intense ,i remembered that day when i had an intense pain cuz of my tonsillitis and i in the middle of the night I put my hands on my neck and I closed my eyes and started saying phrases about healing and for this pain to stop and started talking with god etc and then after a few min maybe 10 it actually stopped and I was idk, so shocked. But i dont know am i being insane?crazy? Dramatic? Do i really have some kind of "powers"? Im so lost and confused , idk I feel like I have them but they are dormant and idk what to do Honestly, i feel lost and confused I've asked god and universe sometimes to just give me a sign, what do i do to wake them? Seems like they appear as I age or something like that, sometimes I wonder if I lost them or if I really had them and was all in my mind :( i told this to my two other spirtual aunts and they said that i really have something within me that needs to ne awakened or worked Can someone help me pls?

PS: more other things like events and occurrences related to these powers occurred but i dont remember right now

I was getting some Christmas decorations down from the loft/attic of our rented home, when I noticed this below one of the boxes. I'd not seen this in the previous two years I've been up there to move the boxes down, but that's not to say it wasn't there then.

The words "she will rise" are clear enough, but I do not recognise what tradition the characters below come from, if any. Look like an odd blend of runes and some kind of eastern script, perhaps Arabic or something more obscure like Tamil. Could also be some kind of idiomatic script or sigils, like chaos magick?

Sorry it's not the clearest photo, I turned it B&W to up the contrast and visibility.

Any thoughts welcome.

1 power and abilities creation:can the host give Tulpas whatever powers and abilities that host wants?

2 Control and Influence: To what extent can a host control their tulpa, and vice versa?

3 Limitations:

• What limitations do tulpas have in terms of abilities?

4 physical form :dose a Tulpas have a physical form or take a physical form?

5 possession : can Tulpas possessed host ,other people or objects?

Hello everyone, I’d like to understand more about a phenomenon I witnessed. I met someone who seemed to have energy manipulation abilities, but it wasn’t Reiki or any known practice. He made a gesture with his hands, forming a Triskelion, and I felt a pressure that momentarily stopped me from breathing. He also demonstrated the ability to perform astral projections. On another occasion, he held my hand and rotated a piece of iron in the ground, causing my arm to become extremely cold. He could control the intensity of this sensation. All of this was done without using words, symbols, or amulets.

Has anyone encountered something similar or know of any traditions or literature that could explain this? I’d appreciate any insights.

Are there any good spellworks and skillful means to regrowing your intuition? It feels as though I’ve broken my good sense i.e. “lost my nose” and I think it had been gone a while looking back and reflecting on how attached to my ego as informed by contact with the internet I was. Any advice is helpful, thank you! 😽

Hello all,

I was pondering, as I haven’t specifically read somewhere about candles and their applications, what are some best practices you have (rituals, chants, words, etc.) you use while working on your candles and what would be a good read for me to start working with candles on a regular basis. I feel strongly pulled into the way the wax is working and is a small ritual for myself to make and burn the ones I imbue with my thoughts while making them.

Any suggestions are welcomed!

Can using a sigil actually help guide different types of energy, or even influence a person's own energy?

Greetings

I am working with the text of MacGregor Mathersñ, And when I got to the fourth pentacle of Venus I saw that not all the spirits of the pentacle were there, he mentioned Schii and El Ayib, but nothing more,This could be a case where the answer is literally right in front of me, but since I don't know Hebrew I'm not understanding the talisman.

If anyone has the answer, I'd appreciate the guide.

I don't have a bath tub so I've been wondering how to do bath spells. Can these be done by showering as my home has one shower room in the second floor? Or do I really have to find a place with a baht tub to properly perform the spell like say rent a room at the nearest hotel or visit a friend's house to use his tub?

I've been meditating for years, so I thought I was quite good at blocking external distractions. However, the first time I ever tried to do the LBRP I couldn't even begin to trace the Qabalistic Cross over my body. Neighbours yelling, dogs barking, cars going up and down the street, power tools... None of those bother me when I meditate, but when I'm trying to visualise a ritual and feel the effects of my visualisations, the suburban morning racket just rips me right off my mental space. Which, in turn, frustrates and irritates me beyond words.

When I'm meditating, I only have to focus on one thing—my breath, isocrhonic tones, whatever I'm using as homebase. But with the LBRP, I need to focus on so much more! How my town looks from above as I grow larger, how light beams extend into an unfathomable infinite, the energies of each archangel all felt at the same time... External distractions will shatter the whole scenario and crash-land me right back on my bedroom.

I'll try again tonight when it's quiet, but it would really help me to read about your experiences to process my own anger and frustration. Thank you <3

Even before venturing into the occult, I’ve always had a huge build up of excess psychic energy.

For me, this causes restlessness and anxiety, and feeling scattered. I’ve noticed that when working in anything occult or spiritual related, this energy‘s negative side effects increase quite a bit.

Any guidance on ways to channel it or balance it out? I perform the Lesser Ritual of the Pentagram, and pray regularly.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone know how thought-forms/spirits/energy beings fight each other?

I was shopping at an Ecothrift in Sacramento, CA and found this in the store for 99 cents. Does anyone know what it is or the meaning behind the symbols?

There is a often found scenario that happens with many Tamil people. Often times, spirits of kaniyaponnu (girls in the family died as virgins/fetuses/childhood), forms of the goddess/shakti, family deity often possess people's bodies for lack of a better word to a certain extent to have a full on verbal communication which is two way. This lasts for a few minutes. Kaniyaponnu are the family guardian spirits, and family deity is a village guardian deity. During funerals, the spirit of the deceased comes into the body of the sister/brother and consoles family and guides them ahead.

Can someone explain this phenomenon? Can this state be achieved intentionally to serve as an oracle?

(This is called சாமீ வறுவது in Tamil.)

I would love to get some sort of top 5 occult forums list.

Also I would like to ask you, what are the prerequisites for doing magick? I have heard that one should have a high level of concentration and energy.

Please list all the traditions starting from beginner's to advanced, i just want to have an idea from where to begin and where I will reach.

Im looking for instructions in detail of many types of spells/rituals/and other such things. For reasons i wont get into its extremely hard yo find media i can physically read. The type of stuff im looking for is to obtain Secret/unknown knowledges. Through the practice. Please DM or Comment!

Hiya, I'm relatively new to the occult world and I'm looking for some friends in the community as there aren't very many around where I live. All types of interests welcome as well as all levels of experience, I love to learn and share new knowledge as I find it. I'm also part of a small group chat here on reddit that talks about occult things, but of course we're always looking for more friends. Lately I've been really curious about lycanthropy but I don't really know where to start there so if anyone has a clue there please let me know. 😊

I used this stencil and the more I look at it, it looks very cult like. Anyone know what it is or if I’m making shit up

First question: I'm interested in the occult and know some basics, mostly names of things and people (Aleister Crowley, Thelema, John Dee, Enochian magicks, Christiani Rosenkreuz, Rosicrucianism, Freemasonry) & the bulk of my foreknowledge will be fromJoseph Smith (as some sources say he'd adapted freemason-ist beliefs to Mormonism) à la the pearl of great price (and his other works). What should I start with expanding from here?

Second question: I'm interested in grimoires and other such magicks like John Dee's Enochian revelations but am not too sure where to start. I hear the key of Solomon is influential, yet I'm not sure if this is a good starting point in reading. Any book recommendations would be much obliged!
