𝐭𝐡𝐞 “𝐲𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐝𝐚𝐲” 𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐝

this is a quick yet effective method to help y’all live in the end and manifest EXTREMELY fast.

basically you affirm in the past tense. more specifically for this method, you affirm as if you already received your desire yesterday!!

✧ example

“i got my dream job yesterday!” 

“my sp confessed to me yesterday”

“i woke up with my desired face yesterday”

“i received a million dollars yesterday” 

“i got all of my desires yesterday” 

when you affirm, really get into the state that you already have your desire and that your manifestation already showed up. how would you feel if you received your desire yesterday? get into that state and really embody the feeling of wish fulfilled. it’s done. there’s nothing more you need to do because you literally got your desires yesterday! 

✧ 𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧

if you ever start to waver or doubt because you don’t see any “evidence” or “movement” remind yourself that it’s DONE! why would you stress or worry about receiving something you already have?

let's say you ordered something online and received the package yesterday. would you be saying “oh where is it? is it really coming, i don’t see it. i rlly hope it arrives :(('' NO you would be enjoying whatever you ordered, like duh of course you have it!! you got it yesterday.

that’s the mindset you need to have with your desire. be in the absolute END of your desires and know for a fact that the 3d will conform to your desires! by affirming that your desires manifested yesterday, so are putting yourself in the state of wish fulfilled and taking the stress of waiting off of you. (here’s an excellent video by my fav loa youtuber on living in the 4d)

when neville wanted to go to barbados, what did his mentor abdullah tell him? "you ARE in barbados!" he consistently reminded neville that he was already where he wanted to be. abdullah told neville to go to sleep every night as if he was literally in barbados. at first, neville kept wavering and looking at the 3d and every time he complained, abdullah slammed the door in his face and reminded him that he was already in barbados. eventually, neville manifested first-class tickets to barbados!

in the same way, you need to completely live in the state of already having your desires. by affirming in the past tense, you are giving youself the absolute assurance that you already recieved your manifestations. it's DONE! you arrived in barbados yesterday! there's nothing more that you have to do now.

✧ 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐢 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞!

everyday for at least a week (or however many days you want) affirm that you already received your desires yesterday! ask yourself “how would i be thinking/feeling if i got my desire yesterday” then think and feel those thoughts. mentally go throughout your day as if you literally just got your desire. as a bonus, you can use SATS and affirm/visualize yourself having your desire just like neville did!

Naturalist Writers for Witches

Naturalist Writers for Witches

In the balance of things there is an incredible lacking in the occult world in knowledge of the realm of the natural world. While the country witch may have a firm grasp on the land and its inhabitants seldom does the urban or suburban witch have a thorough understanding of the shape of the lifeforms in the landscape that surrounds them.

In particular the lack of any serious education in terms of hands on biology is practically an epidemic in the Untied States. When I relocated to Britain a decade or so ago I was surprised at the much higher knowledge level that many young people have about nature. In the urban areas the age of parks (most from the Victorian era, some centuries older) and the greenness of the landscape, coupled with a higher standard of education, lends itself to a hands-on experience for young people. Yet even here the things one sees as a witch should be more comprehensive and are often found in the lacking in even the older magicians.

I find myself on the fringe of the expanding urban sprawl of London, clinging to a scrap of woodland and a bit of marsh for my patch of soil. When I came here it was Roma travelers and urban homeless that haunted my wood. These days it is increasingly overrun with joggers and paid foraging expeditions.

The natural world is slipping away from us, and we must grasp it firmly, hold onto it for dear life for it is that by which we see the world anew. Birds, insects, flowers, all lost or only found in isolated regions when once they spread like carpet across the meadows and forests. The forests themselves slowly picked away, like an apartheid state eaten by a colonial cancer.

We must educate ourselves in knowing that world that we walk through, that we may find an accord with it on our path. As witches we can look to the naturalists who have so acutely inspected the green verdant world. Their poetry and prose lends itself to our cause, drawing similarities with the vibrancy of the world on the other side of the landscape.

The Victorian naturalists in particular lived at a time when many times more species existed in the landscape than do now, and whose numbers were much greater than we could imagine possible. They were the last to truly know nature untouched by mankind’s modern chemical ecocide.

The following is a short list of authors whose words reflect the shimmering effervescence that is the flora and fauna of the world. Explorers, ramblers, authors of chapbook and newspaper columns, mad mystics and journeyers who have traveled in much the same direction as we do and can show us the way.

Richard Jefferies - The Story of my Heart Nature Near London

W.H. Hudson - The Book of the Naturalist Nature in Downland

Denham Jordan (“A Son of the Marshes”) - Forest Tithes Woodland Moor and Stream

John Burroughs - Ways of Nature

Fiona Macleod (William Sharp) - Where the Forest Murmurs

Modern writers whose prose is exceptional include:

John Lewis Stempel - The Wildlife Meadowland The Running Hare

Mark Cocker - Crow Country

Giles Watson - A Witch’s Natural History

Banishing pt. 1

In almost any book on Magic(k) one of the first things you’re likely to encounter is a Banishing Ritual or at the very least some form of instruction on Magic(k)al or Psychic protection. I whole-heartedly agree that Banishing Rituals and Magickal/Psychic Protection techniques are some of the first practical exercises that one should learn, and learn well, in their study and practice of magic(k). There are several reasons for learning these techniques. Simply stated, Banishing means to send something away. The various techniques that belong to this category of practice can be and are used to clear the mind of distraction, and the general area of unwanted influences, not only before and after ritual work, but also in everyday life . Any ritual or technique used to ground, dissipate, neutralize or otherwise get rid of, or protect the magician from, general or specific unwanted energy, spirits, thought-forms, memories, emotions, etc. can be considered a form of Banishing.

In a lot of Magic(k)al practice, particularly ritual work, it is desirable to work in a “neutral” environment, free of any mundane or psychic influence, positive or negative. Many people are not able to have a great deal of privacy, such as a room which can be used solely for magical work. It’s common practice for the modern magician to use areas which are used for other day-to-day activities for ritual work, meditation, and various magic(k)al endeavors. For this reason, it’s a good idea to begin and end any formal Magic(k)al work with some form of Banishing that seems appropriate to the work. These are techniques that center the magician within himself and his ritual space, and remove all unwanted energies that may interfere with the ritual. Banishing after magic(k)al work clears the area and helps ground the magician and return him or her to normal consciousness. This can sometimes be in the form of a preliminary Exorcism before or a License to Depart at the end of a working. These same techniques, in my experience, work just as well at removing unwanted energies from physical objects, your own mind, or even other people, such as in the case of an obsession or possession of some sort.

What about using Banishing in the “real” world, though? Have you ever been in an empty room and simply felt “uncomfortable”? Maybe you know someone who seems to have a certain “negativity” about them, or they seem to drain you physically, mentally, emotionally, or spiritually in some way whenever you’re near them. We’ve all experienced this. It can be extremely helpful to Banish when you’re in places where a large amount of negativity may be lingering, such as at work. Remember that Banishings function to remove unwanted energy, positive or negative, from the area that the magician is in. Also try Banishing such things as bad habits, negative situations, and unproductive emotional responses. Anything that the magician may need to “send away” can be Banished in some way.

I’m a firm believer in the idea that a banishing should fit the situation. Whenever you plan to use a particular Banishing, ask yourself why it is being used and if it’s really the proper method. Some are and some aren’t depending on what you’re intention is. When it comes to Banishing, there are no hard and fast rules. Remember, there’s no one right way to do it, just the way that works for you. To illustrate the importance of having good knowledge and ability when it comes to Banishing, here’s a story:

I was involved, for a short time several years ago, with a small group of magicians who were without a doubt….hardcore. I was invited to the home of one of the magicians for a day of marathon magick. I was told ahead of time to work on a quick, effective banishing technique.

We went into the basement. This was my first official meeting with the particular group I was working with. I was told, in a joking manner, “This is your first time at Fight Club, so you have to fight.” It was explained that I was going to be involved in alot of ritual work, and that I had to be able to banish quickly, and well.

I’d always thought of banishing as a way to balance and center, get in the right mind, create a working space, etc. I was not really prepared for what was about to happen. I was told that a demon was going to be evoked into a triangle on the floor in front of me, and my job was to make it go away in a timely manner.

I stood against the wall, breathing deeply and mentally preparing myself, while two guys performed a goetic-like evocation ritual about 3 feet in front of me. When they were done they told me “ok, it’s here.” I saw nothing. I focused on the triangle and shouted a short incantation. A large banner flew off the wall on the other side of the room. Everybody kind of laughed, and said “It’s still here”. I repeated my performance, and began hearing A LOT of noise coming from outside….people yelling and stuff. “That’s to distract you. Focus. Ignore it.” I repeated my Banishing again, and again. After some time I thought to myself “I cant do this”. One of the other guys said “Yes you can”, as if he’d heard my thoughts. I gave it one more go, from the heart, and they said it was gone.

The point……when your backs up against a wall, you better be able to banish quick and effectively.

I believe a banishing technique is a very personal thing. In my opinion, it is your belief in the banishing technique that empowers it and brings about the desired effect. By saying I think such things are personal I don’t mean to say that I think learning other peoples techniques are a bad idea. In fact, I believe one should learn as many techniques of this sort that they can find. People are different, and therefore should experiment and find what works best for them. The point I am trying to make is that each person has their own view as to how and why things are and this should be utilized when creating your own Banishing methods. There is no limit on how many you can use or when to use them.

Essentially, a Banishing will be used for one, or several, of the following purposes: • Grounding and Centering, • Creating a neutral environment, • as a License to Depart or an Exorcism, • or as form of Magic(k)al/Psychic Self-Defense.

Banishing techniques and methods will generally be in the form of:

• Artifacts (such as Talismans and fetishes), • simple or complex Ritualized Banishings, • visualizations and/or energy manipulation such as Psionic-style Shielding, • Words of Power in the style of the “Apo Pantos Kakodaimonos” in Crowley’s Star Ruby • or a combination of these different forms.

Grounding

Grounding techniques help bring the Magician back to a “normal” state of consciousness. This is often necessary after an intense ritual when one has spent a significant amount of time in an altered state of consciousness. Depending on the intent and nature of the ritual and the emotional/psychological state of the magician there may be some residule energy associated with the ritual. This is normal, but when the ritual is over it is necessary to return to a normal state of mind. If you have just performed, for example, a ritual to get revenge on an enemy, fueled by rage, you want to let that go when you’re done. On a lighter note, sometimes after a ritual you may just feel a bit unbalanced, or maybe somewhat euphoric, which also warrants a good grounding.

In everyday life, there are a multitude of “mundane” ways one can ground. People who are especially sensitive to the problems, emotional baggage, personal dramas or even physical pain of others can benefit greatly by grounding regularly, possibly several times daily. People like this are a form of Psychic Vampire, and grounding is a good way to Banish the draining effect they sometimes have. Grounding is also a good way to overcome stress and anxiety. Nearly everyone experiences these things from time to time for one reason or another, and finding ways to ground ourselves is a great solution to overcoming these feelings. One of the fastest ways to ground is to shock your body slightly. Splashing your face with cold water is probably the most common way to do it.

Focusing on breathing slowly and deeply as opposed to shallowly and rapidly is good, too. Ever heard the phrase “Take a deep breath and count to 10”? To do this, simply become aware of your breathing and slow it down. Breath in counting slowly and evenly to 4. Now hold your breath in for 4, Breath out 4, hold your breath for 4. Make sure you don’t close your throat when holding your breath either in or out. Just use your lungs to stop your breath. Focus your attention on the sensation of your breath going in and out. Continue this exercise until you feel calm and grounded.

Paying close attention to things around you can help you reorient yourself.

Stretching and general body movement, such as waving your arms around or going for a walk, seem to be helpful as well.

Most anything that normally calms you down will help you to ground, such as watching TV, playing video games, reading, a relaxing bath or shower (which are easily ritualized through visualization), and even eating. In many religious and magic(k)al traditions a feast will follow ritual work, though the participants may not be aware of this reason, for the grounding effect a meal has. Sometimes you may not really feel like eating, but you should, if possible, have something sweet followed by a small amount of protein. High protein food is harder to digest and therefore redirects the person’s energy into their body. Moreover, high protein food will help adjust brain chemistry in the direction of normal beta wave consciousness.

Laughter might well be the best method, though, as many a seasoned Chaos Magician will attest.

Centering

Centering techniques generally focus upon one’s center of gravity. They’re used for the purpose of helping the Magician summon energy and find stability for whatever work they’re doing. Centering techniques focus the mind and get it ready to work. This type of technique should effectively “Banish” thoughts that aren’t in accordance with your current work, whether that work is an Enochian Ritual, a math exam, or a job interview.

I personally use only one method of Centering. I’ve been using it since I was a kid and it’s always served me well. When I was about ten years old my father put me in Martial Arts classes because I was being picked on by neighborhood bullies. This not only led to the bullies not picking on me anymore, but also gave me a lifelong passion for such things as energy work and meditation. My martial arts instructor taught me about keeping one point of consciousness at the Dantian. The Dantian is used as a focal point for internal meditative techniques and refers specifically to the physical center of gravity located in the abdomen three finger widths below and two finger widths behind the navel. He demonstrated how maintaining “one point” was useful, not only in fighting, but in daily life. When he put his consciousness at his Dantian he became immovable. He could lay on beds of nails while grown men broke concrete blocks on his stomach with sledgehammers. Things like this tend to get the attention of a ten year old boy. During our meditations, people would sway and bounce from the energy they were cultivating. The instructor, from time to time, might even walk up and hit or kick them. They didn’t lose their focus. I found that by putting my focus on my Dantian I was more balanced, stronger, more energetic, and more graceful.

So here’s my personal Centering practice. It’s incredibly simple, but will allow you to bring focus and find balance. This technique can be performed standing, sitting, or lying down. If sitting in a chair you’ll want to sit so that with your feet flat on the floor your torso, thighs and shins roughly form the shape of a stair step. In other words, the angle between your spine and thighs is about 90 degrees and the angle between your thighs and lower legs is about 90 degrees in the other direction. It is better that these angles be a little more than 90 degrees rather than less. Your head should rest comfortably on your neck. Your spine should be erect so that your head balances there without much muscle tension keeping it in place. Sit up straight and find that balance point. You may look slightly downward, or simply close your eyes. You may simply rest your hands on your thighs. Your nose and your navel should be in line. Your ears and shoulders should be in line. You may rock a little front to back and to each side to find the balance point.

Now release any remaining muscle tension and concentrate on your breathing. At first, simply let your breathing become very natural. It will find its own pace and you may notice that it slows and deepens. Inhale gently through the nose, hold, and exhale through the mouth, each period lasting for about five seconds. Allow the breath to sink into your abdomen. Imagine that the breath is moving like a wave between your lungs and the point in the center of your abdomen a couple of inches below and behind your navel. Bring your attention fully to that energy center. Allow all of you attention to focus at that point. It may be helpful to imagine a point of white light in your abdomen. Visualize with each breath that the  abdomen fills with energy; feel it warm and tingling. Continue to return your awareness to your Center whenever it drifts away. Focus all of your attention there. Note any sensations you have there and let them go. Releasing your mental constrictions there will allow the energy to move up your spine and throughout your body. You may feel energized, but at the same time you may have a feeling of being in balance. Focus your attention without desire for any particular result. Check your posture and bring it back to balance when you feel it slip.

Creating a Neutral Environment

As was mentioned earlier, a magician will usually have to create a neutral environment prior to ritual work, get rid of residue left lingering after magic(k)al work, and neutralize negativity from people, places, and things in the everyday world. Negative energy in various forms can collect where we live, where we work, and basically anywhere people find themselves. For example, arguments with spouses, children, parents, or friends cause it. A stressful work environment causes it. I’ve even noticed large family functions that seem to be quite happy on the surface sometimes seem to cause it. These are all perfectly normal everyday situations that will happen from time to time, but all produce negative energy that must be Banished.

Before formal magic(k)al work it is a good idea to clean the area physically. Pick up any clutter, vacuum, mop, whatever seems necessary. Also, make sure you will not be interrupted. Disconnect your telephone, close any open curtains and lock the doors if necessary. If you are working at home and have family, tell them you are not to be disturbed for a while. Now you are ready to begin banishing any negativity that might be present. There are several ways of doing this. Here’s a simple one:

Standing in the area to be Banished, face any preferred direction. Ground and Center. Hold out your projective hand (right if right handed) palm down at waist height and point your fingers at the edge of the area. Visualize energy flowing out from your fingertips as a bright light (colored if you wish) and slowly walk clockwise around the area. Now form it with your visualization into the form of a dome, it should encompass the whole area. Now extend the energy down into the floor, see it forming into a complete sphere of brilliant light as you stand at its center. Feel it dissipating all of the negativity in the area. When the area seems ’clean’, finish the technique by turning the palm and clenching your fist pulling it back to your body.

Smudging, the burning of certain herbs to create a cleansing smoke bath, is another common method which is used to purify people, ritual space, and ceremonial tools and objects. This technique is traditionally used to Banish negative energies by cleansing, purifying and protecting the magician and the working area, and also bringing physical, spiritual and emotional balance. It is easily performed by burning traditionally purifying incense or herbs such as frankincense, myrrh, sage, thyme or rosemary. The physical act of smudging can be as simple as fumigating the area by walking clockwise around the area and visualizing the smoke dispelling any negative energy.

For formal ritual work, I like to smudge before and after. The first smudging is for the purpose of cleansing the space, myself and any participants and for banishing any unwanted energies. Cleansing the ritual space before and after the event is essential. The final smudge is to Banish any negative vibrations and energies attracted or created during the ritual. Smudging is also an easy way to banish yourself and your living space on a regular basis. Many people with desk jobs can even get away with this method of Banishing at work.

Ritual Banishing

The Golden Dawn’s Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram, Aleister Crowley’s Star Ruby, Peter Carroll’s Gnostic Pentagram Ritual, and countless other Banishings fall into the area of Ritual Banishings. All of the one’s just mentioned are good, as well as many others out there. Most use various combinations of visualization, gesture, movement, words of power, invocation, sometimes evocation, breath control, and a wide array of symbol systems in a psycho-dramatic fashion to Banish. Many of these rituals ground, center, create a neutral environment for, and protect the magician all with one short, usually no more than ten minute ritual, making ritual Banishings excellent for beginning and ending longer sessions of magic(k)al work.

Many magicians also perform Banishing Rituals as a daily routine, such as in the morning just after they wake up and at night before bed, in addition to using them to open and close their ritual work.

Planes Of Existence

This is a reconstruction on one of my earlier post, because I feel like I may have new information on this subject. This is a post that will be going over the different planes of existences, along with setting up a universal map that will show the planes of existence is in relation to each other. There are many different planes of existences, and these planes of existences are different milestones in vibrational frequencies as it increases upwards, starting here in the physical, and rising to the divine monad. By understanding this you’ll be able to comprehend the various different parts of the universe, and how they connect together.

Physical plane, earthly plane, or material plane:

The physical plane of existence is the existence that we have come to know. It is the densest plane of existence which vibrates at the slowest frequency. The physical plane is home to all of the physically incarnated entities which reside there. The physical plane may be very mundane to us, but it is a very beautiful plane that can allow an entity to learn, grow, and experience individual experiences. This is the plane of matter, material, and physicality. This is the place where the 4 classic elements manifest themselves into a physical form, and all the energy from above finds rest. This is connected to malkuth on the qabalistic tree of life. This plane of existence also does exist within a 3rd dimensional space.

The veil, or the lower veil:

The veil is the first spiritual separator that leads to the higher planes of existences. This barrier can be passed through in order to reach, and communicate with these planes. This veil can get thinner in places where there is liminality. By passing through this Veil you enter the other planes of existences, and will become connected, and aware of these other parts of you, that are more than your physical body.

Etheric plane, or the inbetween:

The etheric plane is the first spiritual plane of existence. This is the place where ghost, and nature spirits that are greatly connected to the physical plane exist. This is also the plane of existence you connect to when you meditate, or enter an altered state of consciousness. This is also the plane of existence where dreams take place, and the energy centers of the physical body are located. The etheric plane has the most dense non physical energy, and is very deeply connected to the physical. This Plane of existence also extends on to the other side of the veil, and does meet, and mixed with the higher parts of the physical plane. The etheric plane is the foundation of the physical world, and flows through it, and is greatly connected to it. This is connected to yesod on the qabalistic tree of life. This plane of existence does exist within a 3rd dimensional space, though time has also been known to become warped here.

Astral plane, or emotional plane:

The astral plane of existence is the next spiritual plane of existence after the etheric plane. The astral plane in general is where our consciousness resides between lifetimes, and it said to be the place where we go when we die, after we cross over the veil, and our etheric body dissipates. All of the astral plane is highly connected to emotional energy, and can even be shaped by it. it is also the place in which practitioners astral project, and astral travel to. The astral plane is connected to hod on the qabalistic tree of life, and does exist within a 4th dimensional space. This plane of existence is also usually separated into three sub planes known as the low, middle, and high astral. The low astral has the densest of spiritual energies for the astral planes, and is said to be home to more negative, or dark entities. The middle astral plane is the neutral ground between the higher, and lower astral planes. This place is where most of the astral entities can be found, and is a good combination between both of the higher, and lower astral planes. The high astral is said to be home to more positive entities, or beings of light. This part of the astral plane is said to be extremely beautiful, and awe inspiring, and has even been compared to heaven, or summerland. This place is the very last part of the astral before ascending into the mental plane.

Mental plane, lower mental plane, lower manas, or manasic plane:

The mental plane is a plane of consciousness, and thought. In this plane you are connected to the universal consciousness. On this plane things are created, and manifested through consciousness. communication is also instantaneous on this plane of existence, and communication between all things is clear, and open through the power of one’s thought, and consciousness. This is the first plane where you can consciously reconnect to the overall collective consciousness of all beings. The mental plane is connected to netzach on the qabalistic tree of life, and does exist in a 5th dimensional space.

The second veil, middle veil, veil of nephthys, or the veil of paroketh:

This is the second spiritual Veil that separates the mental plane from the higher spiritual planes of existence. In order to pass through this veil you must ascend and retake control of your higher self.

Causal plane, higher mental plane, or higher manas:

This is the place where your higher self resides. In this plane of existence you become your higher self, and are connected to all your incarnations. From here you are connected to all things that are you, and all of the furthest parts of your soul. This is the place where you come together with all your memories, understandings, and information that makes you, you. This is a place of connection between you, and everything else in existence. From here you are aware of yourself, and are a separate entity, while also being here you are aware of your divineness, and your overall connection to existence, and source. This is also the first plane of existence where form gives way to formlessness, and you become ascended into a new state of being. This plane of existence is connected to tiferet on the qabalistic tree of life, and does exist within a 5th dimensional space.

Akashic plane, or the neutral plane:

The Akashic plane is a plane of information that can be accessed by your higher self. From here you can unlock or perceive information from throughout the Universe. It is a place of knowledge, learning, and wisdom, and also acts as an archive for the entire universe. What is saved here is everything from the known universe. All the knowledge one could ever want. Recorded, and documented by the energies that were present at the time. Giving all possible views, standpoints, and outlooks on all subjects. It is a place where you can look, and understand your own karmic destiny, so that you will be able to walk your path more clearly, and be able to interact, and learn from experiences. This Plane of existence is connected to gevurah on the kabbalistic tree of life, and This Plane of existence does exist within a 6 dimensional space.

Buddhic plane, intuitional plane, or unity Plane:

In the buddhic plane your ego is stripped away and you become combined with the all of existence. You combine, and connect with all beings, all places, and all energies. You begin to come less of an individual. This is also the place where ones spiritual will resides. This will be the last plane of existence were you will be an individual, and will have perception of the self. This is the first place where new souls take form, and actually properly exist in some shape, or form. For them it is the beginning of their individuality, and their first complete separation from source. This plane of existence is connected to chesed on the qabalistic tree of life, and this plane does exist within the 7th dimension.

The third veil, the higher veil, veil of isis, or the abyss:

This is the veil that separates you from connecting to the higher planes of existences. In order to pass through this veil of existence you must separate from your individual self to become one with existence. Being very close to this veil allows you to gain much knowledge of existence, while also being able to keep your individual being. This is connected to da'at on the qabalistic tree of life.

Atmic plane, nirvanic plane, or spiritual plane:

This is a place where the confines of the soul no longer exist, and there is no more you. This is the plane of the pure spirit, and is said to be the place of self-realization. This is the place where you as yourself is annihilated, but transmuted into the true spiritual self. This is also where the monad gets life breathed into it, and also begins to build up energy, and the concept of form is given to the new souls. This plane of existence is very connected to feminine, and yin energy. This Plane of existence is connected to binah on the qabalistic tree of life, and is present in an 8th dimensional space.

Anupādaka plane, or monadic plane:

This is the plane where the monad, holy spirit, or oversoul does exist. This is the plane where the spark of source is used to create souls, and the rest of the facets of the existence. This is the plane of existence where the pure energy from the adi plane becomes directed, and focused.

These monads will project themselves downwards into the lower planes of existences creating, and beginning new souls. The soul will be everything that extends from the monad. The soul is the individual subsection of the monad, and will go forth to lower planes of existence to exist and experience. This Plane of existence is very connected to masculine, and yang energy. This is connected to chokmah on the qabalistic tree of life, and does exist in a 9th dimensional space.

Adi Plane, logoic plane, divine plane, or the unknown:

This is the crown of the universe, and is the highest point of source. It is a point of unity, and divinity. It also encapsulates everything that exists, and is the place where the divine monad for everything is present. This is the plane of being, where everything that is anything is, and there exists an unlimited unmanifested potential of energy, and consciousness. It is said what is on this plane is undescribable, and is something that stretches through all space-time, and reality itself. This plane of existence is said to be the place of the divine monad, and the logos. This plane encloses, and interpenetrates all of existence, and is the beginning point of creation, and the divine essence of existence. This is connected to keter on the qabalistic tree of life, and does exist in a 10th dimensional space.

“Let someone love you the way you are - as flawed as you might be, as unattractive as you sometimes feel, and as unaccomplished as you think you are. To believe that you must hide all the parts of you that are broken, out of fear that someone else is incapable of loving what is less than perfect, is to believe that sunlight is incapable of entering a broken window and illuminating a dark room.”

Do you have any recommendations for any astral witch blogs? I'm really interested in astral travel and I'd love so resources (ie technique, if there are specific constant astral locations, information about the denizens of the plane, astral powers, etc)

I guess maybe @insaneastraldragon​ would wanna be mentioned here - my personal friend. I remember teaching him how to set up his shields, and then he went and made a fucking dragon. The student always surpasses the teacher, sigh…

I know of people who have written astral travel posts. You can always ask them these questions. 

@spiritvexer​ ; @theawakenedstate​ ; @duskenpath​ ; @visardistofelphame​ ; @sopherielspeaks​ ; @thiscrookedcrown​ ; @chaosjelly​ ; @thetwistedrope​ ; @hecaatia​ ; @astral-club​

I do have a [tag for “astral”] on my blog that has a lot of posts. Maybe not some of the more specific ones regarding planes and denizens, but, you know. Stuff.

[callmeprincesatonight-deactivat]

“—People are inherently perverse. An easy conquest has a lower value than a difficult one; we are only really excited by what is denied us, by what we cannot possess in full. Your greatest power in seduction is your ability to turn away, to make others come after you, delaying their satisfaction.”

— The Art of Seduction, By Robert Greene.

Original tips to avoid binging

Sooo, I thought I could share some of my personal tips to avoid binging.

1) paint your nails. You cannot eat until the nail polish dries. If it’s just a craving in 10 minutes you’ll forget about it.

2) take a shower. Relax. Moisture your body. Then look at the mirror. Don’t you see how far you have come? Do you want to ruin it all?

3) allow yourself a binge day once every other week. It won’t hurt you I promise, plus it will help boosting your metabolism.

4) drink 2 glasses of water.

5) create a study plan and then study. Try to concentrate as much as you can. This has so many benefits such as: improving your grades, your memory and avoid binging.

6) call a friend/a relative. You won’t regret it. You will improve your relationships or friendships plus you can’t eat while talking, right?

7) look at thinspo. Binging won’t help you reach your gw.

8) if you don’t want to work out then search for some yoga/pilates videos on YouTube. You can relax and exercise at the same time.

9) plan an outfit for the next day. This can take some time plus it will remind you to not ruin all of your hard work for a SILLY CRAVING.

10) if you end up binging don’t worry. Calm down. Don’t purge. Don’t take any pill/medication. It’s fine. You have learned an important lesson, write down how you feel so you can read it the next time you want to binge.

Feel free to add any suggestions. Please don’t remove credits since this was made entirely by me. If you find this helpful please Reblog and follow me, I’d appreciate the support.

In your 20s, you’re a snack.

In your 30s, you’re a bombshell.

In your 40s, you’re a vixen.

In your 50s+, you’re THAT bitch.

Don’t let gross men and the media make you believe beauty ends in your early twenties.

I fucking love herrrrrrrrrrr 😭

[silkdiary]

i love wearing négligées out, white lace for the day and black satin at night. i always feel beautiful, sexy, and glamorous when donning a babydoll négligée in my own boudoir and out in public. i’ll wear one with a soft cotton t-shirt under when i’m strolling through greenwich village on my way to work, and at night i’ll have nothing but a thong under when i’m at the bar with a whiskey sour in hand. so darlings, let’s keep on dressing ourselves in lingerie like the angels we are xx
