I know labels aren't wise or particularly telling anything about a whole person and their practice as we're all unique and evolving (I myself identify with maaany of these labels, it's impossible to reduce a whole person to just one lol); but I always see very specific posts talking about Sea Witchcraft, Forest Witchcraft, ... yeah, witchcraft tips for natural locations. And despite the number of books I've read and witchcraft accounts I'm following, I've never seen ANYTHING about Mountain Witches, just like they merged it with Forest Witches.

One of my biggest dreams is to live by the mountains. I feel highly energetic, happy, connected to myself in mountain environments, my psychic abilities are also boosted, meanwhile in the countryside or other "flat" environments, I feel like something is lacking. And don't get me started about big cities: I feel terrible in cities. I know there is still magickal energy in cities but I'm just shut down and overwhelmed there. I prefer any natural environment to cities.

I didn't figure out why I resonate so much with mountains yet and I hope someone similar to me would tell me about their experience and maybe give me some clues.

How would you describe "Mountain Witchcraft" practices and habits?

Anyone could point me some italian source about the kc with the HGA? I have seen some videos on YT.echols,duquette,foolish fish...now i want to perform the actual ritual work to attain It. Original abranelin ritual seems overkill. There are samekh and liber VIII or a 'zoroastrian' route i've Been told of. I have taken a look to liber 8 but It seems you have to construct a special Temple with color correspondences and It Is not feasible to me. So, Is there any italian magician or anyone Who could point me to some good source that Will teach me a good, as simple as possibile way to attain the K&C with the HGA? Thanks 🙏🏽

Are rituals and manifestation perhaps more powerful when you're in love with someone or in the stage of falling in love? I don’t want to go into details, but it seems to be what I’ve noticed. I’m not an expert, nor have I been into this for very long, but that’s the feeling I get. I’m referring to manifestations not directly related to love.

So...need a bit of advice. Last night I performed a consecration ceremony on some ink I am going to use. I added to the "benediction" a close reference to Zeus. I concluded the ritual and moved on to other matters. Shortly after, I received the distinct impression Zeus objected to my referring to him without his approval. In thinking about it, I did commit a faux pas in not asking his permission first. I am going to recite one of his Orphic hymns and offer incense tonight by way of apology, but my question is, should I consider my previous consecration ritual null and void and perform it again after correcting my error? Or should I simply offer my apology and consider it done?

What do you think of psalms to manifest things on the material level and imprecatory psalms to curse people? do they work? have you had any experience?

How do Crowley's followers respond to this? Seems to me that the most feasible application of Magick is first and foremost in the psyche rather than influencing the material world. If Magick couldn't even cure his addiction, what would Thelemites claim it can actually do?

What are the best books on practical British folk magic? I'm looking for any sources for specifically British folk magic, but I'm quite happy to look slightly further afield as I'm sure certain traditions overlap. I have books on folk witchcraft, Green witchcraft The crooked path etc. But now I'm looking more towards cunning man grimoires etc Cheers

My questions are as follows:

1. In a previous post, I asked about the limits of magic and was repeatedly told that real magic is not like Harry Potter and that it adheres to physical laws. To me, this means either magic is self-hypnosis, or there are additional physical laws that science has not yet acknowledged. I would appreciate sources on this topic; so far, Real Magic by Isaac Bonewits and Éliphas Lévi's Transcendental Magic: Its Doctrine and Ritual are the only works I've found that formulate such laws, aside from the well-known Hermetic principles.
2. To my question, "Can a magician be strong enough to destroy entire armies?" the response was that the magician's will cannot overpower the will to live of an entire army. My current question is: to what extent can concentrated will be stronger than unconcentrated will, in your opinion?
3. To what extent can the angels and demons summoned through rituals strengthen the magician's will? And what prevents them from strengthening it to an absolute level, giving the magician power over anything they desire regardless of consequences? Let us think outside the confines of mundane reality; I want to absolutize the example to trace how the principle works.
4. There are numerous accounts of Tibetan monks moving massive stones with the help of sounds from drums and horns. This suggests that occult laws can be practically applied and yield tangible results. I would be grateful for any sources that outline such laws.

Hi guys! I've been looking at contact spells but they all seem a bit heavy on the love/attraction part. I was looking for something more specific and a bit open. Long story short I met a guy and we really hit it off as an one night stand but I also felt a lot of chemistry with him. I just got out of a long relationship and I'm not available for anything other than casual. He told me upfront he was in an open relationship and I liked the honesty. We had a lovely goodbye but I didn't ask anything about the relationship rules and we didn't switch numbers. I feel like it's crossing boundaries for me to try and contact him say via Instagram, if you know what I mean. But the thing is we live close by go to the same bar and we both knew there was a chance we would see each other again. We might bump into each other but I would like to accelerate the process.

Is there a spell to make contact and speak with a person but not necessarily make them attracted to you? I would like another chance with the guy but only if his relationship rules allow and he is willing!

we've seen multiple works of fictions like idiocracy and black mirror have accurate predictions of what's happening rn, i think this happened because people put so much emotions and feelings into these works that they manifested into reality. idk why writers are more inclined to make dystopian fiction instead of utopian, it feels more ground breaking to see stories where humans learn to do better like godzilla minus one for example which surprised me cuz it goes against japanese culture.

Not actually NSFW, I just wanna express how insane this is to me. I just realized some days ago the feeling that grabbed me, swished me around and spat me out so many times (in a good way) since the bitter age of 17 was just that the whole time, planetary intelligence. She Inspired so many artistic masterpieces of mine and gave me a reason to live and more, sooooo much more. That's all I wanna say here.

For those of you who are ritual/ceremonial magicians and make anointing oils for use in your magick, what kind of rite do you use to consecrate those oils after making them?

After everything I’ve studied about the occult, I feel a bit confused as to the nature of magick. Some grimoires claim to grant abilities the stuff of fairy tales and fantasy books, but then on the flip side, magick seems to be more about aligning with the laws of nature for an effect.

Has anyone ever recorded footage of a ritual where spirits are communing with the practitioner? Or where extremely magickal things are happening on camera?

Or is magick much more subtle and nuanced than that?

I don’t mean to be facetious, I’m genuinely asking because I feel somewhat confused as to what magick truly is and how it works.

Hi, I'm not heavily into this, but I'm kinda at my wits end, the last 3 years have been a living hell for me, diagnosed with a digestive disorder called gastroparesis that admitted me into hospital over 20 times in the span of a year, my wife left and divorced me, and I have kidney disease and can't hold down a job, all of my friends have abandoned me and I'm likely to lose my dogs, the last two things that drive me to wake up in the mornings... I'm always in horrible pain and nausea...Am I being hexed or cursed or something? Is there a way to find out?

So hey guys, let's me tell you my experience from the last two months first, so I started to abstarin from any sexual activity and was successful in doing so for 21 days from October to November, but after the new moon in November I was hit with a lot of sexual energy after a couple of days and ended up jerking off, it lasted for about a few days but I was back in controll by the full moon, then I began to again refrain from any sexual activity from the full moon but after the new moon in December I started to feel a lot of sexual energy again, and finally today I jerked off, at first I thought it was a coincidence but then I started to calculate the interval of the energy influx and it always begins when there is only 9 days left for the full moon and stops once the full moon ends.

If anyone in this place know how I can control more of my sexual energy in this time period or why this happens only in this time period then please let me know, how can I deal with it?

With a solstice coming up somewhat soon, I've been going through old notes and found i had written down my initial template for solitary evocation. It feels a little personal to post, but it might be something someone is interested in, or may draw inspiration from

...

These are my steps, at their simplest. This is where I seek audience with something more than me. … … ... I must remember that what comes ahead is difficult. I have succeeded before, but I am knocking on a great door that simply doesn't always open. ... I have studied the nature of my intent and set a date between the moon and stars to match my energy. ... Two days before I meditate, throughout my mundane life, I fill my thoughts with the deity I will call upon and the elemental energies of the time I have chosen. One day before I meditate, I abstain from food and isolate myself from the mundane world. I account for the ritual trappings of the day to follow. … When I rise upon the chosen date, I meet it physically empty, clear-headed, and clean and well rested. ... I arrive at the appointed place, and when I'm ready, I center myself … I draw a circle with my fingers. I start in the east, in the direction of creation, and draw the circle clockwise. Inside the barrier I have mentally constructed, I turn again to the east lighting my incense, and offer a blessing to the voices of the winds. I turn to the south and light my candle, offering a blessing to the fire and its will. I turn to the west and offer a blessing to the emotional currents of the water I pour out. I turn to the north and offer a blessing to the sensation and secrets of earth. … I ground myself ... I read an evocation to the deity I seek, striving to truly contemplate the words as I pass over them. I hold the paper upon which it was written over the candle, offering it as a sacrifice, along with any other I prepare. … I speak deliberately, in unrehearsed words, the nature of my need. I make my plea three times, citing the name upon which I call each time. … With my desire close In both my head and heart, I sit and breathe deep and deliberately, filling my lungs until they are ready to burst. I hold in the air for almost too long to truly be a breath before I exhale slowly through my nose until there is nothing left in me. I take three breaths and hold my exhale almost too long to truly be a breath. Then I take three more. And then three more … Breathing deep, but normally, I close my eyes and begin to construct a mantra. My nature leads me to a simple and poetic rhythm, and clearing all other thoughts from my mind, I listen to my voice speak my words again and again. I keep the mantra resonating in time with my breath until the world around me slips away. … … … Upon my return, I say a brief word of thanks and dismiss the quarters, clockwise from the east. I pour out a drink in honor of my company and then take a few myself to begin coming down from my time away. When I feel satisfied I have fully returned, I offer a final thanks, break the circle, and leave the appointed place. … … ...

I'm trying to make a bottle that is more robust than just glass. I'm into jewelry making, and want to make a charm that contains a few gems and some herbs, but won't break easily if it bumps into other charms. I tried to find a sapphire tube I could theoretically cut to length, but sapphire tubes of anything larger than 5mm are not stock and need to be made. So I saw most modern watches have sapphire domed glass, and replacement pieces can be purchased. So what would you do with a sapphire bottle? I'm making a luck charm, which is different from a money attraction spell imo.

Hello! Ive decided for christmas this year id like to do things a bit different. I'm going to be making protection jars and self love jars for my loved ones, but I won't be able to personalize them for anyone since im just going to be making 20 of each and some people probably won't want one, im just going to set them out and if it calls to anyone to take them they can. I guess I wanted to ask if anyone had advice on what to put in them, and or if you think they'll even work without personalization to specific people

Each jar will contain a bay leaf w a rune I drew specific to the jar

I was going to put black tourmaline, egg powder, hyssop, st johns wort, a bit of shed from my snake, and rosemary in the protection jars, sealed w a black candle, black ribbon, and an evil eye or a pentacle charm

In the self love jars I was going to put rose quartz, lavender, rose petals, jasmine, and pink salt, sealed w a pink candle, pink ribbon, and a heart charm

I know everythings about intention, how ever these will be my first spell jars ever, and id just appreciate some guidance, ive been reading about witchcraft for a couple years now and have really tried implementing it into my life in small ways, but i know there's alot I need to learn too 💚

I will probably cross post this on a couple threads just to get as much knowledge as possible 💚

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
