About Me

My name is Azebeni (he/him | gay) and I was born in 1995.

I'm from Rio de Janeiro - Brazil, living in São Paulo-Brazil.

When I was 14 years old I got initiated to the orisha Oshumare in an afro-brazilian religion called Candomblé. Around the same time I was already studing witchcraft as much as I could. But only with 24yo I could really, I mean, REALLY conect myself with the craft.

I started to go deep in the craft when I decided to start on the tradition I'm currently on, wich is completly based on tarot. There I start to make contact with spirits and all sort of demons and daemons. Spirts of the land, mighty dead from my people.

I mean, I aways got results, and good ones, but my craft was almost all based on European and US witchcraft literature. When my attention went straight to the spirts and magick from my onw land my craft was trully born. My craft.

A lot has opened ever since, and I'm now facing 14 years of practice and development. Nowadays I teach in my tradition, am a Tarot Master (3rd degree out of 5). I not only am studing to keep growing myself, but also am guiding other behind me. I work with lots of spirits, all kinds of them, but I do not work with the Gods as alies. I do have a worship for a few gods (Kemetic and Yoruba's), but it's only worshiping.

One thing I learned on my years of practice is that nothing holds more power than the pleasure to keep on a tradition that was spiritually passed to you by the ones who were there before. The link that is made in the process transcends everything I have experienced in 14 years.

Hope you find yourself at home here.

If anything you may ask me.

I think contemporary witchcraft sort of sterilized spirit work. There's this view that spirits are wish granters and it often kinda lacks reciprocity but also the general idea that spirits can say no. Spirits aren't obligated to reveal their true nature to you. Spirits aren't obligated to give you everything. Spirits can also reject offerings and tell you what they want and bargain with you on pacts. They're autonomous beings and beings with a great deal more power than we, that's why we go to them.

Btw it's okay to believe magic is real. You don't need to try to logic your way through or obscure science and "spicy psychology" the magic into "rational" things.

I'm 30 years old, I believe in magic and I believe it is **magical**

Apparently ICE now has agents posing as utility workers to get into people's homes. The electric and gas companies have posted information on how to tell if it's one of their workers, and numbers to call to confirm whether they've sent someone to do utility work on your house.

Stay safe, friends.

O Poder

Uma corrente ancestral

Para nós, o entendimento de que o adepto não só possui, como manipula e manifesta o poder, se dá não por ser inerente à mente humana. Acreditamos que a mente possui sim poder, e trabalhamos para despertar e dominar essas habilidades psíquicas. No entanto, O Poder ao qual me refiro se trata de um conceito mistérico.

Assim, o poder assume uma característica iniciática. Não confunda, não estou me referindo apenas às iniciações formais, ditas horizontais. Me refiro a sabedoria que as pessoas de conhecimento acessam. Mistério é um tipo de sabedoria que reside na vivência, e se espalha com ela. Voltando ao poder, pense num rio. Esse rio é o Poder, e ele flui. Muitas pessoas vão até esse rio, ou se beneficiam dele indiretamente. Algumas pessoas se banham, outras coletam água, outras apenas contemplam, com medo, sua força. Acreditamos que as pessoas de conhecimento mergulham nesse rio até tornarem-se um só corpo, um só coração. Isso é uma metáfora para dizer que o adepto às nossas práticas deverá mergulhar no poder afim de domar sua força e tornar-se um com ele. Entendemos também que esse é um ato arriscado, e a falha pode resultar em afogamento.

Entender essa premissa, nos levanta uma possibilidade: um mundo inteiro de rios, de fontes distintas de poder, que se atravessam em muitos pontos. Uma forma geral que usamos pra entender e distinguir esses rios, é dividindo da maneira mais ampla e interessante pra nós.

Dessa forma, chegamos em 3 principais que irão se subdividir em outros. Poder Ancestral, Poder Divino, Poder do Mundo.

Poder Ancestral

Compreende as nossas linhagens ancestrais, iniciáticas, sanguínea, adotiva, e etc.. Dividimos aqui em dois, o rio do sangue e o da alma. O primeiro compreende literalmente a nossa ancestralidade sanguínea, enquanto o segundo engloba tanto as iniciáticas quanto a adotiva.

Esse tipo de poder é despertado através de ressonância ritualística, alcançada através da prática disciplinada.

Poder Divino

Algumas pessoas podem não compreender num primeiro momento, mas por Poder Divino nos referimos ao poder proveniente de 3 fontes: o Poder Divino por si só, dos Deuses, o Poder Angelical ou Celestial, proveniente de seres celestiais, e o Poder Diabólico, proveniente do próprio Diabo.

Esse tipo de poder é proveniente de acordos e iniciações.

Poder do Mundo

Aqui esta a maior, mais fácil (e por isso mais perigosa) fonte de poder, o poder que reside na vida. Na casa, resumimos tudo como Poder Demoníaco, proveniente de vidas não-humanas porém atreladas a esta Terra. Sejam árvores, florestas, rios ou lagos. Pedras, locais, cemitérios ou casas. Igrejas, templos, ruas, cidades. A chuva, os ventos, o pôr e o nascer do sol, uma encruzilhada. Tudo, absolutamente tudo é atravessado pelo poder.

O desafio é domar o poder. E isso acontece através de ressonância e pacto com os diversos seres existentes. A natureza espiritual de uma pessoa de conhecimento é reconhecida pela sua capacidade de caminhar no fio da lâmina, entre mundos e realidades distintas.

O Poder Pessoal

Poder Pessoal, como podemos presumir, não se refere a uma fé inabalável. Entendemos que a soma das correntes de poder que uma bruxa domina é que chamamos de poder pessoal. Esse é o poder manifesto, o que dá vida aos encantos da bruxa, o que a torna distinta aos olhos despertos de outros adeptos.

Compreendemos que o poder se manifesta inicialmente como uma chama solta na altura do peito, onde fica comumente representado o chakra cardíaco. Com o tempo e a prática, essa chama é domada, moldada e transmutada, numa analogia para a alquimia da alma. Isto é, domar o poder é moldar a própria alma.

Considerações Finais

Quando falamos de um caminho espiritual, tratamos de coisas da alma ancestral e do espírito imortal, e por isso o poder não se resume a uma característica ou habilidade psíquica. Poder não é ler mentes, adivinhar coisas, ouvir espíritos, ver o invisível. Isso são habilidades, o poder é uma corrente espiritual, um rio vivo e pulsante.

Poder é o que dá sentido à tudo isso

Por isso, na estrutura iniciática da Casa XV, nós temos práticas e treinamentos que visam acessar de forma segura cada um desses estágios do poder.

Que esse texto possa trazer o Fogo do Diabo, que ilumina e transforma, para sua mente e sua prática. E que sua busca pelo poder seja tomada por sua alma.

Flight Day

Yesterday night I had a strange dream. It was like the time couldn't pass and I was doing the same things over and over again.

"aways above, never bellow..."

After a while, i felt a presence. The Lord was near by. I could feel his breath over my shoulder. I could listen him whispering enchantments on my ears.

Then suddenly the world froze. Everything felt cold. I could just hear the laughter and the steps on the ground of what should be a party. People were dancing, kissing, having sex. They were building a bunch of energy. We were. My Tarot Master gave me a masterclass. Reveled to me part of my tarot path.

So, out of nowhere, I started to fear something. I was terrified, i felt like i was getting lost in the woods. Then our lord appeared to me. That was it. I was being marked again. Another ritual passage was being held that night.

🌸 From One Mother’s Heart – Please Read 🌸

My name is Saja. I’m a wife, a mother, and a woman who once believed her story would be simple. I thought my days would be filled with watching my daughter grow — from her first smile to her first steps — surrounded by the small joys of everyday life.

But life had other plans.

War has returned to our home. Again. And once again, we find ourselves living under skies that never seem to rest.

There was a moment — a fragile, breathless moment — when the bombs paused and the world seemed to remember us. It gave us hope. We thought maybe, just maybe, we could start to rebuild. But now, we are back in the dark — hiding, holding on, praying.

I’m writing this not as someone seeking pity, but as a mother who has no other choice but to speak.

Imagine holding your baby in the middle of the night, not because she cried, but because the world outside roared too loud for either of you to sleep. Imagine whispering bedtime stories not to lull her into dreams, but to keep the fear from settling into her tiny bones.

This is my life.

This is my daughter’s life.

And even now — especially now — I believe in softness. I believe in kindness. Because when everything else is taken from you, hope becomes the most valuable thing you have.

Why I’m Reaching Out Our home has been damaged. Our lives changed. But through it all, my daughter wakes up every morning with a smile. She reaches for me with trust, with love, with faith that I will keep her safe.

That’s why I keep going.

I’ve launched a campaign to ask for help — not because it’s easy, but because silence is no longer an option. I am asking for support not just for me, but for my baby, and for the quiet strength of so many mothers like me who are fighting, every single day, to hold their families together.

How You Can Help: 🤍 Help us restore parts of our home so we can live with dignity 🤍 Support women and mothers in Gaza with access to care and resources 🤍 Keep the light of hope alive for a generation born in the shadows of war

💛 If you can, please support our journey here:

Help Saja Rebuild a Life After Everything Fell Apart

My name is Saja. I am a mother, a wife, and just one of many women in Gaza trying to hold on — to hope, to my family, and to a life that no

If you can’t give, please consider sharing. Your voice might be the reason someone else hears ours.

From My Heart to Yours Maybe our lives are worlds apart. Maybe you’ve never lived through war. But if you’ve ever held a child and wished the world could be better for them — then you understand more than you know.

I don’t want my daughter to grow up thinking the world turned away.

Please, if you’ve read this far — thank you. Thank you for seeing us. Thank you for caring. We are still here. Still hoping. Still holding on to every kind act like it’s a lifeline.

With love and endless gratitude
