From a quick trip to Costa Rica. Winter travel never felt so good! Also...there was a cave nearby perfect for evocation. #JustSaying

[glitchbottle]

Perfect example of what goes on during evocation: the operator punches through the multi-dimensional layers of reality, opening a temporary connection with a spirit operating in the day/hour of the ritual. They are around us always. Evocation pulls them in, mostly unwillingly.

Scrying session tonight. #Cassiel

From the Clavis Inferni (Key of Hell) grimoire. One of the few European grimoires to retain many of the Graeco-Egyptian elements of a magical circle (1. Oroborus, 2. cardinal directions marked out, 3. also note the thwarting angels set against the four Demon King sigils)

Chicago, Illinois. Excellent pre-magical research brew.

Sleepy Hollow, NY. Unfiltered rays glitter their beams through the trees. There is a call from the spirits in every corner we roam. Take their hand....

Studying Tarotic correspondences....
