This might sound like a no brainer to some, however it’s a question that piques my curiosity and I’m wondering if people had similar experiences. Now I don’t do the LBRH as much as I’d like to, however I had once done it in the past during a retrograde and, in my experience, it helps with casting specific spells during the time of said retrograde (but only if the spell involves the same planetary day or hour).

I’m wondering if anyone has had similar experiences or if that isn’t the case, any input would be appreciated.

Hi, I'm having some trouble finding good relevant sources and I was hoping someone here might have some ideas.

For context, I remember reading a book when I was younger, titled The Warded Man by Peter V. Brett. The book takes place in a high magic fantasy setting, and in the book the titular character covers himself in various runes and sigils, empowered by demons blood, which granted him superhuman abilities.

While I recognize this as being a fictional source, what I'm really interested in is real world examples of the ritual, spiritual and magickal practice surrounding the inscription of tattoos on the body. I'm also interested in any theory there might be on the relationship between the use of symbols, and their placement on the body, given the extent of correspondence that the body has with various symbolic and magickal concepts.

Let me know if you know of anything! Thanks!

I've been trying for the last couple of years to get my apartment repaired. It's meant to be repaired by the builder that built the building. I have a big leak in my bathroom that has led to a huge growth of black mould and I had to leave as it made me quite sick after a few years. The strata that manages the building and the builder have been extremely dishonest, underhanded and morally bankrupt. Every couple of weeks they try and do something to cheat me out of getting the repairs done. I could get it repaired myself but it will cost about 35k and I can't get approval for that until the next annual meeting which is 8 months away. I have exhausted the limit of what I can pursue to get this addressed. What spirit would be good to ask for help in this matter? I can make an agreement with them for some offerings in exchange. It's driving me crazy. I'm still working through my spiritual progression and I don't think I'm ready yet to get a reliable result through working the magick solely myself.

Hi everyone,

Im planning to craft the wand according to trithemius DSIC system, and the other day i was thinking of perhaps engraving my sigil (taken from my own name)

Is that a good idea? Anyone have done similarly? Thanks

So my cousin has been my teacher for a while now and has studied many different magicks in his life time. DDuring one of our studies I asked him is there any websites online that have list of spells and rituals, but also said to be careful because many on the internet can be fake. (For example, he doesn't like anything made by lovercraft) anyways, does anyone know some trusted websites that i could research and read up on any spells or rituals me and my cousin could look at.

Thx you in advance.

What’s up yall. I’ve recently started my journey into practical magick. I’ve done some things off and on, but I’m really going for it this time. I don’t have a teacher and was using that as an excuse to put my practice on hold. So this time, I’ve purchased, “Modern Magick” by Danold Micheal Kraig and am planning on completing the lessons cover to cover. But I have questions. In the first lesson on Tarot it suggests that you pick a card from the Major Arcana, then contemplating that card for a period of time. Am I contemplating the meaning of the card? Do I just stare at the card? Am I thinking about how that card applies to my life for just that day? Is the card supposed to be a divination into the next day? Week? Because if I’m doing this everyday, I’m eventually going to pick all the cards in all directions. Is this just an exercise in getting familiar with the cards and their meanings? Like I said, I’m new and am most likely overthinking it, as I usually do. Any help would be appreciated and if anybody knows any good books on tarot, I’m taking suggestions.

Crowley stated, " Magick is the art and science of change in conformity with Will".

One year ago I was homeless on and off, in poor health, addicted to drugs and alcohol. My mind especially fear was torturing me. Truth told still does at times I got a lot to learn. I still have an ego the size of China.

I knew what I wanted though. I wanted to be healthy, I wanted a shot at love. I didn't want to die. I needed tools, I went to rehab again. I got myself into a transitional living facility. I go to AA daily. I try to meditate some days. I keep going no matter what, with all my doubts and fears. Turns out my Will is to live.

And that's been supernatural. I've lost 60+ lbs. Made friends, got a job, paying child support again, trying each and every day. Having my Will broken actually made my Will stronger overall.

I posted this because I want people to know that sometimes the most mystical operations take courage and faith. If someone or the universe just handed me sobriety, I wouldn't know it's value. With all the intention and Will in mind the universe may just hand you a blow you don't understand. You could do the LBRP daily l, and still be getting negative energy. It's the idea that ultimately you're getting what you need.

I see so many want things over night. Magick is just as much about practical techniques to achieve goals too. Be well, if you're suffering know there is a way out. The answers are within

Hello everyone! I have neighbours that practice some sort of magic or witch craft. Our relationship is difficult to say the least as they are very unhinged with a history of drug abuse/mental illness. Today when I let my dog outside I noticed several chunks of black wax placed on our back step. He would not have access to our back yard so I’m guess he threw them. They smell good, a bit like sage. Anyone know what the intention or meaning would be behind this? I know it’s not good in their part whatever it is. Thank you!!

So recently I’ve been practicing with manipulation of electrical fields, but I’m getting a bit stumped on plant growth. I’ve had great results with longer spikes of currents running straight through the ground, resulting in ~3.5in of growth overnight from dry ground. I’m wondering if anyone knows of any rituals for plant growth that are a bit flexible and somewhat easy to recite or have prepared. Other than any observations anyone has in regard to electromagnetic manipulation would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and consideration

some weeks ago someone sent me a sigil, supposedly to see if it could make a "bad" energy or entity go to him, that being said I waited before using it, because I didn't want to break havoc with this energy.. but then I bit , and printed it.. the thing is it worked for a while but now I don't know.. it seems things have gone worse, and I want to discard it, but the person told me:

"Throw it in water if you choose to discard it."

is this right? I thought water activated them, I'm not expert so that's why I'm asking

I am curious as to how you would view the hierarchy of the angels and how one would apply them in practical life? Like if one has x issue, would you go to your hga/higher self first? would you go to use them

I heard the hexagram ritual in it's banishing form completely cleanses you and your area of All energy... Even good ones you put in place yourself, that being said, I use the rose cross as a ward. So, would performing the hexagram ritual in it's banishing form undo it?

I first noticed this while falling asleep last night. I’m hearing it again now. It’s like an angel chorus is singing. At first I thought my hubs left his phone on or our kids toy was playing. But I searched everywhere and it gets louder when I close my eyes and focus on it. What’s going on

Side note I feel like I’m in a really good place in my life and on my fated path

I decided to ask this question here instead of r/castaneda because some of the frequent members there can be disrespectful to enquirers.

I was first introduced to Castaneda by some on magick related subs who claimed that via his practices, one is able to do miraculous forms of magic that defy the laws of physics. But of course any fantastical claims require evidence which I sought to enquirer from that sub’s practitioners.

I was met with hostility by some of the frequent members in that sub who claimed that I was an attention seeker ; I was also confused by how that sub’s most frequent OP constant mentioning about a witch whom he is battling. Some of the nicer members told me that the nature of Castaneda’s practices are unprovable to others because of the shifting of one’s assemblage point. I didn’t comprehend that latter statement until I came across a pic attached in one of the Castaneda sub’s posts (which I can’t attach for this sub’s threads) that enlightened my understanding.

It seems that because our shared reality is something constructed by our senses, Castaneda’s practices seek to shift our mental perception to a magical reality where everything is possible, in contrast to our shared reality where magic is not as fantastical. In this sense, any magical feats is fundamentally a subjective experience since they do not happen in our shared reality but instead in the practitioner’s perceived magical reality. This explains why members claim that their miraculous feats are unprovable to others and that one of the members claim to frequently battle a witch.

Is my understanding correct for those familiar with Castaneda’s practices?

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?

I mostly gave up on magick because of this issue. But I do still do the occasional bit of tarot and part of my process involves drawing in energy and setting the intent to align the cards with fate and such. Anyways tonight when I did that I had a intruaive thought about getting sick badly and now I'm scared I hexed myself

Having a hard time finding a more focused group. Anyone take this seriously on every single level including daily practice and actual research, experimentation mixed with caution and is not enslaved to an energy entity?

I don't know why but every time I do anything spiritual or that includes my energy. I immediately get an urge to pee, feel a pressure on my head, sweat A LOT and sometimes shake. And recently I did a simple banishing on an entity and got an ache where my 3rd eye chakra is. I don't know why did it happen or what my 3rd eye chakra has to do with it.

Spherical Labradorite for serendipity

Pointed Adventurine for opportunity

Sigil of the 2 runes gebo and fehu for luck

4 leaf clover for luck

Bay leaves for attraction

Cinnamon for luck

Mint for moving

Irish moss for a steady flow of energy

Bottle in silver

With intent in mind, vibrate and charge sigil with gold, white, and green energy from the Sun.

Ask various gods for a blessing of luck. I went with Ganesha.

Visualize the energy in the bottle attaching to situations or objects that make you feel lucky. Rotate your heart chakra towards those visualizations of luck, and make plans to do what needs to be done to be at that place; which might just be being at the right place at the right time.

Afterthoughts: I think I can add to the basic luck sigil with a mix of ING, Jera, and Bjarkan to add "luck of the harvest". Also aside from this being similar to a money spell, a luck spell is about the parts of your life where you feel lucky but not necessarily rich.

Guys we in Arab countries have certain magic books. According to many of them or certain magicians, if someone wants to use a spells, write amulets and talismans or even summon a spirit or a demon, they must have something called "Al-Ithn Al-Rohani" means "Permission to practice any type of magic from a mentor." There are many other conditions, such as: 1/ You have to dismiss the souls of that place, Al-Oummar. And you must protect yourself from certain evil spirits. 2/ Avoid eating anything that has soul or came out of a soul (all meats and milk/eggs...etc). Eating only fruits and vegetables..etc 3/ Work in an isolated place far from humans, and if it's a "Sufli Magic/Satan's magic" you do it in bathroom or very dirty plac+ eat garlic and onion and must had sex with a woman/man. 4/ Every day has a certain Angel and Certain King (there are 7) and each day has certain incenses, like franckincese and Mastic. And the magician must do it. 5/ If someone wants to peactice something called "Sufli Magick" they must have sex with man or a woman, and wear the clothes in reverse or naked and burn evil incenses like gumtree and garlic 6/ From 1-15 during the moon phase you must practice good things and from 15-30 you must practice evil things, and there are 7 bad days we must avoid. 7/ One's must be very knowledgable about astrology and all 12 Zodiacs and the the 7 planets, and how they connect with each others. 8/ Working must be in darkness only the light of a candle, and the ink must special (Safran+ Roses water+ musk). If sufli you add something to the ink like semen or piss.

• Does any of you practice magick without a mentor?
• Did anyone of you successfully practice spells without a mentor or without having a permission like ours obligate?
• Do you have this type of BS, like trying to use talismans from books but they don't work because your mentor didn't gave you prrmission?
• Do you have to follow these strict rules to be successful?

Sorry for the long essay but nothing works with me because of this permission of a mentor, even simple spells won't work.

Greetings.

I am working with the pentacles of macgregor mathers, And as expected he did not put everything in his text, I would like to know if someone who knows Hebrew or is definitely smarter than me can help me decipher the names of the spirits or sacred names.

The text specifies Schii, El ayib, Like two of them but I think there are more, has anyone reconstructed this?

It is important for me to practice because I like to call upon the spirits while consecrating the pentacle.

Thank you.

Since there are people here from all over the world, I'm curious to know what forms of folk magick you've experienced, or heard about, where you live.

What rituals or beliefs are or have been specific to the tradition of your city, community or just your family?

Do they still exist or have they been lost?

Which figures traditionally practice it? Are they institutionalized or not?

And what value do you personally place on these forms of magick?

What are your thoughts on this and do you prefer 72 angels of magick or 72 demons of magick? And break down how this union of power work in your opinion? What did you see, feel, hear in your experience working with this book compared to other available methods?

Have you ever cast a spell and noticed that it's taking time to affect the target or the target is being able to resist the spell? Besides that person maybe having their protections or a spirit team protecting them, is there a reason why a normal person would be able to resist the effects of the spell? If you know why can you share how you were able to solve this issue?

Hello all. I will start by explaining my situation.

Over the past few months I have gotten up to the point where I am performing the LBRP,LBRH,MP,RC,LIRP daily. Last week during the last part of my ritual (LIRP) I was hit with sudden panic and anxiety. I closed out the ritual and seemed to be coming to baseline. However about an hour later I was hit with a serious panic attack and have had constant anxiety and random attacks throughout the last week. I haven’t performed the rituals since the incident a week ago as well.

I am trying to get out of my head and rule out anything magick related. I have cut out caffeine, nicotine, alcohol etc.. anything else that may cause it.

I am also going to get my blood work done and see a doctor.

I am trying to take a non-magick related approach to ensure it isn’t just an issue with me psychologically.

I consider myself an anxious person and have had minor panic attacks in the past but nothing near this magnitude and duration.

That being said I have a few questions for my magick community. Has anyone experienced something similar due to ritual work? Anyone know what this may be or what caused it? Is there anything I could do from a magick perspective to try to combat this?

Any help is appreciated. As mentioned I am seeking medical help, but was curious if there is anything magick related I could do to help.

EDIT: Just wanted to say thanks for everyone’s input. I feel a lot calmer today after reading everyone’s comments. Thanks a lot!

I agree with a lot of you and I think assuming it is magick related is probably worsening the symptoms as it is most likely psychological and something that can be worked out by being mindful and not creating additional panic.

I will be sure to come back and update for any future readers who may be experience something similar.

So this is actually a big topic in jungian psychology too.

But I see here that magick works through synchronicities. Could you please give examples of some that happened to you?

I recognize them sometimes when they happen to me but often they're hard to interpret or ill just chalk it up to chance

I've had magic words. that have stuck with me for years. I've tried variations of searches, but they e never turned up anything I hate to compare it, but it almost feels like " speaking tongues" Does anyone else have anything similar? Any advice on finding any truth behind them?

Yasushee ja na. Do karahan ga ba na....

They go on for a few more lines,.but sharing them feels a bit wrong

Thanks in advance for any advice

I've heard angels are way more difficult and temperamental to work with and can wreck havoc while demons are a bit more manageable, of course I'd have thought the other way around but it's something I've been hearing quite a bit. What's your experience with them?

Which Angel do you think would be best for undoing SELF imposed "curses"? What I mean by that is, things that you may have accidently imposed on yourself via negative self-talk, beliefs, etc. that you are carrying around in your deep subconscious mind. Shem, arch-angels, or other angels.

I’m planning on doing it according to the ritual in Seven Spheres but can’t fit the hour of the planet in as well. Is working on the planet’s day ok enough??
