I want to sew my own cotton tau robe for a magickal initiation coming up. Does anyone have a sewing pattern design that they could share with me? It needs to be hoodless and have draping sleeves. Thank you!

i was going to attempt to test out magickal cashbook, i had an impossibly strong want for money and the goal of it working, and had just finished making sure i had a orange and gray notebook, of course i knew the name of the spirit and was thinking about it before i would start because i wanting to look into it some more, without doing anything further is it possible to have it work. I'm not particularly well versed I'm magick and was unable to find anyone else who asked something like this sorry if its a stupid question

Mathematics like counting is the generating of magic. When counting you must stay with one as this is the beginning of a counting sequence! Reading and writing will also do something. Just do not start with zero when counting because this will do nothing as you will achieve a neutral result as zero is not a number and the counting sequence begins with one! Also: how "Wicca" works. You see: wicca is poetry with the rhymes separated by other words. The way the arithmetic of rhyme works: rhyming word after word. This is not "Wicca!" There is a difference between the arithmetic of rhyme and what is known as wicca as what is known as wicca is not actually a form of arithmetic as God is the higher power of America. The way reading "wicca spells" works is simply reading the poems again and again for higher imaginary Karma. I suggest to rhyme your own words for higher Karma: like this: oh so foe though; loco show though, bro! Reading and writing (as riting means to perform rituals (writing is the performance of writuals!))

I don't vote, and with the next US presidential approaching, I've been trying to articulate more precisely my objection to voting (and my sometimes advocacy for refusing to participate in governmental elections). Here's an attempt:

A vote is a magic object, a material carrier (or materialization) of magic energy
Money is a magic object, a material carrier (or materialization) of magic energy

No# votes proportionally makes an individual more powerful, endows them with more magic power (eg power of US presidents)
$ invested in stocks proportionally makes a corporation more powerful, endows them with more magic power (eg power of multibillion corporations- Google, Amazon, etc)

Casting a vote is a magic act
Buying is a magic act

Voting is magic investment in and endorsement of an individual's activities and power (material & magical)
Buying stocks is magic investment in and endorsement of a corporation's activities and power (material & magic)

Voting or buying stocks, you become karmically implicated in the politician's or corporation's acts

Even with sincere faith in the moral goodness of the politician or corporation, the risk of reaping the karmic traces of having been implicated in bad karmic action- the perpetration of some kind of harm, for example- is, given the scope of impact that such action would have in the case of politicians (especially presidents) or corporations (especially major ones), not worth the potential for reaping beneficial karmic "profit"

Hey all, what are some alternative ways to banish unwanted entities and energies out of your space? For some reason, I have an aversion to the LBRP.

I officially began my journey during the pandemic and I didn't know where to begin. I was even more naive back then, and learn from whatever I could naturally gather. And due to exposure via Midnight Gospel, I discovered Damien Echols (who seems like a genuine, down-to-earth guy), and Jason Louv...

While what I could learn from him that WASN'T behind a paywall was somewhat valuable, I'm glad I didn't pay for any of his courses; Especially when they're things online like Quareia by Josephine McCarthy, the Glitchbottle Podcast, and one of my favorite content creators, Denis Poisson. (Quareia has FREE PDFs online, by the way.) I feel like I've learned so much from them. Whereas with Louv, it feels like he's putting guests on and hosting uninteresting interviews intentionally to get some interest on his expensive courses online because you can hardly learn anything beyond introduction by him. His book on John Dee was good until Book III, where he discusses Crowley. Crowley is certainly relevant to the topic, but in this case, it feels like padding.

I can respect everyone's individual attempt to earn money and seek financial security, but Magick.Me seems like a greedy cash grab. I'm not even going to bring up his political stances and opinions.

Such a shame the DuQuette course is on there. What a waste.

Hi does anyone know Wicca's or Golden Dawn's explanation/reason of the arrangement of the elements used on the pentagram? Spirit>Fire>Air>Water>Earth.

I've looked at different sources and placements with nice and reasonable explanation, some uses patterns and stuff. I would have used Spirit>Fire>Water>Air>Earth (YHVH)

I just don't see the pattern used in Wicca or Golden Dawn.

Hi, i want to ask: what happens if I do the evocative ritual of the pentagram (LIRP) and draw fire direction instead of earth?

I can attract different energies for myself or unstable energy?

Last time i done it, in the same time: my grandmother, she fell and hurt herself, I don't know if it's dependent on the ritual or it was a coincidence...

Thanks, let me know!

Hey folks. New magickal practitioner here. I really enjoy sigil work and as a result, I’ve had some interesting successes crafting my own since I’ve started this journey.

I recently discovered Sigil Engine and I was curious how many people here utilize it. If you do use it, have you been successful with it?

I wanted to use it to generate a sigil which I would then draw on paper, charge, and burn. Does this sound like a decent strategy?

Any tips would be appreciated! Thanks!

If so, what do you play? I'm really interested, I don't listen to a lot of music that makes me think about protection. Do you have any playlists?

Has anyone worked with it? Do you have any advice about how to approach the prayers? Also, did you have any result? I wanted to start practicing it since a while ago, but I am on the LHP so I am not sure if I should just go for it or prepare more in advance the space and myself, as it is something relatively new to me.

If ever at all you’ve had the experiences where you’ve met loves from previous lives in this life time and they’ve cursed you, what do you do to remove them, keep them out from your life? Especially when what you’ve done already to remove them doesn’t work? Thank you in advance.

How is it possible that ancient magicians and teachers, who did not have the Internet or the barbaric amount of books that we have now, managed to make such complex magic systems that worked for them? As far as I know, magicians hundreds and hundreds of years ago only had a few books and a grimoire, how is it possible that without access to the information we have now they could have created such elaborate magic, it's because they only created doodles and believed strongly in those scrawl?

Title says it all. If belief is the ultimate tool, why do delusional people exist? shouldn't their delusions just turn true out of belief?
I'll appreciate all viewpoints, thanks.

I sadly don't know what kind of stones they are or what they would even be used for. But, uh, well there is a bit of a story behind how I came across them.

The short of it is that some random dude gave them to me at a bar the night of my birthday after I had tried to throw myself a very special birthday party that utterly bombed.

They are pretty soft stone, I managed to break one in half on an accident. Kinda glass like really, purplish , black, grey swirls in them.

How did you start your witchcraft journey? Was it a slow transition, a massive life changing event or you always been a witch? I am new into practice but I always knew that I have some witchy powers, but isually I just brushed it off. The gut feeling and accidentally manifesting/spells and the pull to Tarot and runes. And then, about 5 months ago my friend passed away unexpectedly. That changed something in me, that shook my world.. I realised that I had that gut feeling before she passed, I knew that something bad will happen, but I didn't recognise it at the time.. not that I could have done anything about it, but the fact that I knew.. Since then I have been head over to heels into witchcraft, learning, doing spells, practicing and being the authentic me. I am still grieving, but witchcraft helps me go get trough this and not fall apart. Sorry about the long post, I just felt I need to put it out there.

I need to identify what type of entity drains energy during sleep.

Both my husband and I have dreamed about this entity. It appears as a man or without any form, with a very bad presence. It makes your body tremble while it steals your energy.

I don't think it is a demon. At least not anyone from high hierarchies, I guess. Sometimes it appears like a man, but mostly is invisible. The frist time it happend we cleaned the house and performed the LRP. It worked but now (months later) this thing come back again.

Ps. It can appear like a sleep paralisys demon. One time my husband was awake when the thing started to draining him.
The contact with me was minor and only in my dreams once.

Does enyone have any tip about it?

(All advise, rituals, spells are welcome)

Disclaimer: I didn't write this to brag this was literally my life

I feel a bit odd putting myself out there but I could really use some help.

For as long as I can remember my energy has always been attractive to people, especially men. I could literally walk outside no makeup, hair not done, unmatched clothes & men would still walk up to me. Any time I walk into a place people swarm me, children & adults people just enjoyed being around me & I enjoyed being around people. I've had women come up to me & try to marry me off to their sons (as it is done in my culture). I never had trouble when it came to money, relationships etc it was like everything was easy for me. Then I met this guy, we dated for about 9 months (that's a whole pregnancy term) & he was struggling with a lot, both in finances & home life. I tried to be his safe space, whenever he needed to get away I was there, when he needed someone to speak to, I listened. The relationship was fine & dandy, but then something happened. We slept together & after that things spiraled out of control for me. He wasn't a bad person or anything but what he was struggling with, I started struggling with. I was invisible to everyone, my home life started to struggle, I couldn't hold down a single job, my mental health declined, I have been in isolation for a whole year, i dont go out anymore. It's even messing with my family relationships. I missed my mother's birthday party, I missed my sister's graduation party, I didn't go out for my dad's birthday dinner, I didn't even go out for the family trip.

I basically started living his life & I realize now that a soul tie/energy cord has been formed & that he somehow absorbed my energy & I took on his. Meanwhile, he was able to get a better paying job that allowed him to travel & find his own place, he had a baby & was just living it up.

I want my power back, I want my energy back. I'm tired of being stuck, I'm sick & tired of being sick & tired.

Please help

So it is said sigils are for intentions or desires. But that is completely different from LoA which says affirmations should be written in a way that it is already fulfilled. Can I make sigils like it has already been fulfilled?

My elderly goodhearted parents had unannonced guests that stayed with us and left a lot of evil feeling energy. They immediately felt dark, the woman would talk endlessly and I would start to feel like the lights were dimming around me. At one point I had a dizziness attack like I don't remember ever having. They drained us, and my dad is a cancer patient that's very feeble. On top of everything, they would go around the house and point out the flaws and damage, and honestly I think that hurt my parents a lot.

Out cat that sat in the womans lap looked ill this morning, and was avoiding her and acting strange. I really would appreciate your advice on how to clean and protect our space so we can forget they even exist. Thank you, a lot

Heyy, so i was wondering are you able to create a sigil that affects another person, i have tried in the past by drawing the sigil on the other person to no results, Is there maybe another way or did i do something wrong please lmkk

As much as I love old books and first editions, the first ed. of this tome is close to $200. The second edition is around $25 claims to be expanded and with commentary on a variety of subjects, philosophical discourse, and other doodads that seem to want to provide context. Prices aside, I would prefer the original text, unless there is a valid reason to buy the new one.

I am interested in hearing from anyone who has experience with both books, and their experiences or insight with the content.

Thank you!

Hey, everyone!

I'm from a traditionally Orthodox Christian country, and I'm looking to include a bit of that in my practice - the people here are really faithful, so tapping into that should be very effective, I think. Are there any written resources on the subject lying around anywhere? Failing that, the next best thing - integration of Catholic techs into one's practice? I do remember some texts by a brother something-or-other who was a Catholic monk, but, to my shame, I forgot his name.

I will end up experimenting and stumbling over stuff on my own regardless, but... there's no point in not researching, is there?

Thanks in advance!

Later edit: the brother's name is Brother ADA; ironically, I found out by looking at a book wishlist of mine.

A couple of months ago, I posted about how different are claims to the capabilities of magick are in ancient times vs modern times. While ancient magic commonly boasts miraculous feats that break the laws of physics which is not met with widespread skepticism back then, modern magic’s capabilities in contrast are usually limited to probability manipulation within the confines of scientific laws.

It’s not uncommon for ancient magic to depict spells that have effects akin to what you see in fiction. For eg. the Greek Magical Papyri has spells that aim to make you invisible (and not just make you unnoticed by others as the modern invisibility spells would do), summon a crocodile to cross the Nile river, cast illusions that cause one’s face to be seen as donkey snouts by other individuals. These feats are seen to be impossible by modern magicians and modern magic is restricted to the realms of scientific possibility like increasing your chances on getting a job etc.

The responses I got to my posts were inclined towards more naturalistic explanations, the ancient man was lying, they were having hallucinations, mistaking science for magic etc. While I usually give priority to mundane over magical explanations, I find the mundane explanations unconvincing for this case. The belief in miraculous magic is so widespread and seen as part and parcel of everyday life that its existence is unquestionable by people back then. The “science mistaken as magic” applies to a certain extent but as far as I know, no scientific invention we have now (what more in the past) could be used to summon crocodiles or turn invisible.

There was some magical explanations given as replies too. One which I felt was interesting was that there is a change in our realm’s magical potential such that miraculous forms of magic are no longer possible or that they are difficult to accomplish. What made me revisit the possibility to this theory is what I learnt recently of the philosophy behind the scientific method. While science is the best tool we have to learn about reality today, it is not perfect and is built upon philosophical assumptions such as the notion that scientific laws are constant and never change through time and space (this has been questioned by some physicists such as how the speed of light seemed to become slightly slower between 1928 to 1945).

What if it is possible that “the cosmic laws of magic” have changed that led to such a big difference in what magic can do back then and now? I posted the same question in history related subs to get more mundane explanations (since they tend to have naturalistic slants) but I wanted to get more possible magic related explanations in occult subs as well.

I made my first money bowl. I put a lot of thought, energy and creativity in making it and it turned out really nice. What is everyone's expirience with money bowls? How long did it take to see results? How long did you keep it?

I have been practicing the Quareia system, but have come across a threshold my Intuition is telling me not to cross. Early on after getting the absolute basics down pat, there is a version of the pentagram ritual in which you visualize the 4 directions representing the 4 elements. You visualize "a figure" coming through the gates, this is not named, just a being of some unknown type, apart from knowing it's coming through the particular directional gate. You then Engage in an exchange, which is also peculiar in that you are not told what you are exchanging, it uses language like, "you reach into your pocket and pull out something out" it may not be known ehat it is. If anyone wants to read this it's Module 2 Lesson 3 in Quareia, which is all free to download the pdf from their website.

My trepidation is doing this unkown exchange and also opening up to something completely unknown.

What's your thoughts on this type of practice with inner contacts/beings?

I already asked on the Quareia subreddit, but didn't get sufficient answers.

I've met several people on the street/in the bus that share the following qualities:

• ~50 years old
• men
• strange features, look slightly larger than normal people, larger head/face
• weird way of movement, almost inebriated but not quite, like they don't know how to use their body
• they start a conversation with me and in this conversation it becomes apparent they know information about me that is impossible

I've met these maybe 4 times in my life. It is very weird. They are not hallucinations - on two events, I had someone beside me that confirmed everything I saw. I am also fully mentally stable. I dabble in various varieties of magick, but i'm not sure if it is related.
One of them literally said "may the cosmos be with you", placed horns on his head (symbolically with his hand) and made a toot sound.

They are so weird it makes them seem almost inhuman. Or maybe they're just people with consciousnesses that are a bit off the rails, yet can see more? I don't know.

So the question is: What is this? Has anyone else experienced this?

Hello, I would like to know if there is a name/title for someone who sees and hears a moment (or energy?) from a place or thing. From a very young age, I knew I had many spiritual abilities, I have many prophetic dreams and thoughts, it is a family gift as well as claircognizance & clairsentient. Besides this, I also experienced seeing, hearing, and feeling the energy from locations or objects.

The most memorable of these moments was in Mexico. I was traveling in the south-coastal region of Mexico, in a larger city's downtown area. Exhausted from walking, my dad and I flagged a taxi, that taxi took us down and through a tunnel that I immediately noticed displayed a huge mural of what looked like confessions. As I started reading them and taking in what they were saying, I began to feel pressure in my head, I could hear screaming, and crying and feel the pain in my entire body. It was women, releasing their pent-up emotions, anger, and fear, I could hear thousands of voices telling their stories, naming their abusers. That's exactly what was on the mural, it was a recent movement that asked women all over the city to tell their stories; some only wrote their abuser's name, some wrote the story, others wrote who they were to them-- fathers, priests, co-workers, best friends, brothers, cousins, taxi drivers, politicians.

I asked the taxi driver about the mural and he said it had been done about 6 months prior, the whole street was blocked off and had been a huge deal, thousands of women showed up to participate and tell their stories. Stories, I could hear in my head, emotions that I could feel deeply, and voices blaring in my mind/ears. This was the most intense experience I had, I got a headache, I had a lump in my throat, tears streaming down, and full body pain. This doesn't happen too often but sometimes when I touch or look at something I get incredibly loud memories or "videos" of the energy left behind. I'm curious to know if it is part of the seer ability, maybe clairsentience or an entirely separate gift! Would love to know if others have experienced that same, and any info I can get!

Ive been meaning to pour all my luck into 2 rings so that i or another may wear it to gain its benefits, however theres very few sources i can find for imbuing your own luck and a lot for making an object lucky instead.

Anyone have any success in this area or know a good source to look into?

I've been giving an offering if water and cigarettes to my ancestors, Anpu(Anubis) and Isis(Auset). Nothing profound has happened yet. Not really looking for anything specific I do pray to them don't want to get into what I want to pray for tho. Few days ago I came across this video that talked about how someone can give another person ancestors an offering. And I want to try that. To be specific I want to offer my GF ancestors an offering. Was wondering if that'd be okay. The second thing is do I actually have to do rituals or can the same thing be achieved by giving offerings because I prefer to do it that way. I'm not opposed to doing rituals. But I'm more comfy with offerings, prayers and petitions. I was thinking about working with the elements and adding them to my altar and working with spirits in that manner.

I was wondering if I could ask for protection, charge sigils, and do spell work just by using offerings
