I want to preface this by saying I never really for into the traditional magick of working spells in grimiores and using spirit sigils, etc. When I first started getting into my own practice, I just went straight into radionics , got a machine and started using various geometric shapes & crystals on my input plate to boost the energy.

Curious if there's any radionic practitioners here? For those of you that have/currently do incorporate radionics - do you incorporate traditional spells that you would normally use outside of radionics? Or do you take a more 'chaos magick' approach and just use what you feel is fitting?

From what I am understanding, dowsing is such a big part of this process, and it is rather difficult for me to feel confident in my dowsing abilities, so I am trying to increase my ability to use a pendulum efficiently.

I purposely astral projected at the beginning of this year. My guides told me if I keep talking them and doing rituals I would win the lottery. The deal was I do what my ancestors ask with the money and they give it to me. I felt the energy. I have been playing ever since with no luck. I have done so many different rituals over the past 3 months. In february I got my sigil tatted on me after my guides told me to in a dream. I thought it would immediately charge because of the pain I indured while getting it (size of two palms) The place I got the sigil is hidden under ny arm so when I do sex magick I cannot look directly at it and focus (Huge mistake) I can only think of my desires and hope my guides will catch on. My sex magick has half results. I get little money opportunities and find money in places i know I did not put it in my room, but I need to win the lottery. I dont know what im doing wrong

Hello! so i’ve been enchanting jewelry for a little while now and i was wondering, when your jewelry is charging whenever it’s not being worn do you repeat the intentions/affirmations before wearing it?

I’ve done sigil work for a short time now and manifested several desires. Recently, I performed a simple work with a sigil and the full moon. The manifestation occurred within hours but now—days later—I feel very tired and low on energy.

I’ve had this experience before. It’s as if the work drains my energy, especially when I am able to manifest a desire successfully with it.

Any recommendations on guarding against this kind of “hangover” in the future? I’m open to all thoughts and suggestions. Thanks in advance. 🙏

So I've been reading how people cast illusion magic on others altering their perception of things, and somebody talked about its Technique that : basically you have to amplify your belief about an object's appearance moulding it in your mind as you see it and then cast this belief on the perception of the people or person you want to confound, idk how do you do this.

Do you people have mechanisms to do this which is less intuitive and more explicit? Also do you have theory how these spells might work, cuz to me the starting process is the same as normal intent convergence magic ( you start by altering your belief about something) then why does it remain an illusion rather than becoming real?

I’ve been using the same magickal routine for the past 3 months now, and whilst it’s been very effective I’ve also occasionally had trouble managing the invoked energy and it’s leading to extreme bursts of awareness and power followed by a period of tiredness and fatigue which I have to recover from and rebuild.

Everyday: LIRP + LIRH (Invoking field) + Middle Pillar

Working through the elements / planets as given in the golden dawn.

Every 3rd evening: LBRP + LBRH

I do this at the end of every 3rd day to maintain balance and banish any potential negative energy.

Whilst the invocations are being effective, I’m worried that I’m having trouble managing the energy and I find they often overspill into negative manifestations which immediately cause fatigue and burnout. Since I have devised this routine myself I’m wondering whether I’m doing anything wrong / missing something?

Hello, I was looking to see if this exist and if so if anyone knows some good references. My parents are adopted so as such I don't have a large connection with a certain culture, thing is I WAS raised into the South. I've always loved southern Gothic aesthetics since it highlights the more unknown and naturey parts of the South over the to be desired parts... I thought I'd be only natural to tap into that and see if there's such thing as southern based magick. I've tried to find some books but all I've managed to pick up are folk magic books which to my understanding is a closed practice from the Appalachians, not the whole South in general. If anyone has sources for what I'm looking for please let me know!

I am reading this book called The Tibetan Yogas of Dream & Sleep by Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche and I found this paragraph to be both very accessible, accurate and inspiring about how to approach Magick that I had to share it with you guys. While he is actually talking about Dream Yoga, I think the message is very relevant to Magick nonetheless.

Proposed adjustments by me in bold:

The question arises: "If ultimate reality is empty of distinctions, and if liberation is to be found in the realization of this empty nature, then why should I do practices aimed at relative results?" The answer is simple. Because we live in a dualistic, relative world, we do practices effective in this world. In samsaric existence, dichotomies and polarities have meaning; there is right and wrong and better and worse ways to act and think based on the values of different religions, spiritual schools, philosophical systems, science, and culture. Respect the circumstances in which you are bound. When living in samsara, conventional practices apply, and dream interpretation magick can be very helpful.

In our conventional lives, we make choices and can change things; that is why we study the teachings, why we practice. As we understand more and become more skilled in our lives, we become more flexible. We begin to really understand the things we are taught: what lucidity is, what is illusory about our experiences, how suffering comes about, what our true nature is. Once we start to see how what we do is a cause of suffering, we can choose to do something different. We grow weary of constricted identities and the repetitive inclinations that lead to so much unnecessary suffering. We let go of negative emotional states, train ourselves to overcome distraction, and abide in pure presence.
It is the same with dreaming magick. There is a progression in the practice. As the practice is developed, we discover there is another way to dream approach life/the magickal process. Then we move toward the unconventional dream practices in which the story and its interpretations are not important. We work more on the causes of dreams wanted goals/circumstances than the dreams wanted goals/circumstances themselves. There is no reason not to use dream yoga magick to attain worldly goals. Some of the practices address relative concerns and lead to the use of dreaming magick for purposes such as health, divination, guidance, cleansing unhealthy karmic and psychological tendencies, healing, and so on. The path is practical and suited for all. But while the use of dream yoga magick to benefit us in the relative world is good, it is a provisional use of the practice.

What do you think?

I am looking into this operation and I want to try it but from some of the videos and articles I read they mention having to be alone… I live with family. I would be able to isolate myself and focus on the operation but idk if I have to be COMPLETELY alone. Also can someone’s send me some good resources to look deeper into this operation

The only reason I'm asking is because I'm a guy and the only people I have ever meet who practice magic are girls to be fair it's only one person my best friend but she only ever uses it to curse people.

I have been reading on kabbalah and I've come to the conclusion that the original idea of kabbalah was something which used letters to manipulate reality, a system of letter magic but exactly how? The book sefer yetzirah talks about it but it's too symbolic and allegorical in nature, too much to unwrap. Is there any work or person who has dabbled with this ?

Would be best if it has nothing to do with spirits or any invoking, I prefer not to engage with that.

In my experience, as a magician you'll have to fight the ego more than just once...

I usually stay on the lighter side of magic and triple check if I'm doing something only for my own personal gain or the collective.

I've started to realize that energy harvesting is a thing and that it happens all around me at concerts and parties, etc. and probably on an even larger scale by people and forces I can't even know.

My question is, could I as an individual use this in a beneficial way myself? Are there moments where taking energy is safe? Can you even siphon energy off someone, if you believe in their right to develop as a person and in their sovereignty?

Then on the other hand there is so much misguided energy...

I would really appreciate your perspectives and experiences on this

Are you going to harness the coming eclipse energy for your workings? If so what are your plans? It makes a trine with my sen in 9th and a sextile with my aries mars chart ruler in 5th. Plan to do some ritual cleaning, banishing and invoke some fire energy for a new start. I was thinking to consecrate an hypersigil but got late with the preparations and prefer to wait instead of rushing it as its a bit complex multi ritual work.

What about you people?

For any reason. Joy when it comes up in a reading, the art, it embodies you, anything.

I feel very "connected" to the fool and the magician. Maybe one of the knights.

Fool because it's an attitude towards life.

Magician because what I've been trying to become my whole life

Knights because it's what I try to be in the present?

Haha just thought I'd make a fun post, how 'bout you?

I was wondering if magic can somehow, alter reality working through its own laws of meaning, would it not be able to induce bodily changes in people? If I talk about amputees, biologically it's possible to regenerate but we are far from any knowledge of how to kick off that mechanism of regeneration, but can magic do that? And if some of you are actual practitioners of this field, do you have any experience or knowledge remotely linked to the possibility?

Im just curious, plz don't bash me.

So, I have a place where I do all my magick. I don't always cast a circle for minor things. Is it possible to just set up a permanent or quasi-permanment circle? Something that I just charge every once in awhile?

I started practicing magic a while ago and everybody seems like they have a deity they're devoted to. And I'm not sure which deity should I work with, can working with a deity make your magic more powerful?

I've heard numerous mentions of using hand gestures to cast spells or perform other magickal acts. I think my first exposure was a short story I read when I was a kid about a man who claimed he'd learned how to use special hand gestures to travel, and after he did the gestures, he dropped dead.

Since then, I've heard other references, including a friend who uses small hand gestures while he's performing stand-up comedy to help his performance. He couched it in terms of believing in them gives him confidence.

I feel like I've come across numerous other mentions, but I can't remember them now, other than the most obvious one to me, Dr Strange. But that's also a very cartoonishly literal interpretation (not to knock Dr Strange).

What should I look into if I want to learn more about this?

This has been something I’ve been trying to grasp, because a sigil can be used in both ways.. so is the process the same essentially? But for the other you use it multiple time and don’t burn it ect? And can be drawn multiple times?

Thx!

A while back, I asked about how to construct longer magickal operations. link to post

Now that I've completed 1 round of Wealth Magick and had some time to reflect on it, I wanted to share these thoughts more publicly after someone asked me in DMs.

The first ritual uses elemental spirits to bring in raw creative energy.

The second ritual stirs up change using the Angels of Omnipotence: Elubatel, Ebuhuel, and Atuesuel.

The third ritual starts plotting change into concrete goal manifestations with Calvarnia.

The fourth ritual secures the foundation of the changes with Raziel.

The fifth and sixth rituals accelerates positive change in alignment with the changes introduced, with another round of elemental spirits and then Aniquel.

The seventh ritual further plots longer term goal manifestations wrt to the changes already outlined with Clauneck.

That's conceptually the construction of the rituals and my experience with them. Additionally, each ritual produced meaningful changes in line with its intention when I did them. The actual number of days and particular choice of spirits for each ritual I'm less clear as to why. Aniquel and Calvarnia are specifically Spirits of the Air, but there are many such ones so I have no idea why them specifically.

So what I think is important here is when building a longer term operation is to have an iterative set of stages of experiences to progress through and utilize an appropriate class of spirit for each intention. Perhaps astrological timings could be incorporated if you're into that sort of thing.

Nonetheless, I presume you could adapt the WM system as an outline to other goals if you are clever and creative.

Also, once again, WM works and you should try it if you are at all still on the fence 😂💸

I post this with an open mind and a beginners mind. So please correct me if I'm wrong.

From what I can tell from online websites (and for what that's worth), abrahmic religions warn again divination and magick?

AI:

Many Christians view magic as satanic and believe it can lead to demonic possession. Deuteronomy 18:10-11 in the Hebrew Bible states, "Let no one be found among you who consigns a son or daughter to the fire, or who is an augur, a soothsayer, a diviner, a sorcerer, one who casts spells, or one who consults ghosts or familiar spirits, or one who inquires of the dead.

Also Saul, the first king of Israel who's a big disappointment, sees a medium and pays the price: God takes away his kingdom.

I mean, from my perspective there's the part that magicians are spiritual competitions to the abrahmic clergy. But it appears in divine scripture magick is forbidden?

Also this is old testament? Stuff like nonkoshure food is impure, God commanding Israelites to commit genocide, many examples of polygamy is in old testament as well?

How do abrahmic spell casters respond to this?

Thanks

This is from Harry Potter. I know it's a fiction book - but art often imitates reality. Are some people just naturally have zero magickal ability? What do you think? What portion of society is like this?

Yeah. I'm not picky but hear me out.

So I started taking a class and the teacher said to consider a robe for your ritual that will contain the class as a whole all year. Well thing is I am looking online and all of the colors seem... I don't know... Dead? Depressing? Lifeless?

I'm not flashy. I like to see myself as humble. But I would like to know why do the colors seem so drab and unapproachable? I'm more of an apricot or an indigo. Something with that spark but is still subtle.

Am I wrong for having this train of thought perhaps?

If your robe is supposed to speak your inner personality to help you be put in the mindset that you would be happy with, then why is the only options Google giving me look like it has zero care or character? Just something a bit cheerful is all I'm asking for...

Also is a cloak classified as a robe in this case? I might have better luck if it's a cloak and not a robe-robe

Sorry about my questions.

Does anyone else notice that certain times of the year are harder for people as they move towards one of the Pagan holidays?

Is there some way of knowing when life is going to get hard for you based on the wheel of the year or based on astrology or other things?

Looking for a general guide, but I’ve noticed that there are specifically two months where things always go bad, and I even feel like in one of those months, in the future, I will die.

Is there a way to combat this? The only thing I can think of is balancing the planetary energies with the lesser hexagram ritual, but I’m not even sure if that r Would apply here.

basically what the title says. do you feel like you were always meant to walk down the path of magic? is it your calling or just a hobby? did it choose you, or did you choose it? do you feel special or set apart from normal people? maybe you had experiences that no one else had or have naturally strong psychic gifts.

follow-up: if you do feel this way, did you ignore the signs or the calling? did you respond right away? how did that go for you?

Hello all. I’m going to make this shirt and sweet. I’ve been practicing various occult and magick practices for a few years now and I’ve also been playing guitar for years. I like to think I am a great player but I’ll take any edge I can get so what are some spells, enchantments, rituals, etc. I can do to help increase my skill.

Idk if it's just me but I feel like I can control cause and effect like make anything be the cause of manifesting something like creating cigarettes on the streets since I've recently ended my drug addiction and always done that idk.

I told my brother and a high school friend. Very negative response from both, which is weird as they seem to be open minded people. What’s it been like for you?

I am new to magick and was wondering if there is any power difference behind where each God comes from. If not in power is there any differences at all?

i haven't been practicing magick for a long time, so don't judge me if this question sounds silly.

so i made a small mistake while doing the LBRP today, which went something like this:

“before me, MICHA- oops, nope” pause “before me, RAPHAEL”

i sometimes make errors like that during a ritual, and have felt like it's best to just go on with the ritual and forget about it. but i'm wondering if i should just start the whole ritual over again in those kinds of situations. what do you guys think?
