Down The Left Hand Path

I’m Pixel, main fronter of the Black Flame plural system. This blog will likely be a combination of Occult/LHP resources and posts, though I doubt that will always be the case. I enjoy teaching, so feel free to ask me things! Be patient if you do, I may not check my inbox often.

I have a really complex relationship with religion, but here’s something positive

reminder that this blog, while not politically focused, supports BLM. bootlickers and racists aren’t welcome here, and never will be.

Lady said my aura was ‘all wrong.’

[traegorn]

The appropriate response is “It only appears that way if you aren’t aligned with a higher plane.”

[ei-len]

Weirdest comment I ever got from someone trying to push their brand of energy healing on me was that my aura had an “inverse spin” and was rotating in the “wrong” direction.  I just shrugged and was like “well I mean I feel fine?”  IDK if the lady was legit or making shit up, plenty of people’s metaphysical senses translate into words in ways that might not be what everyone would say, or pick up on details that aren’t what everyone would notice, but that’s the first time I’ve ever heard anything about auras having a “spin” that can be “the wrong direction”. She kept insisting something serious must be energetically wrong with me and I was like “ma’am I’m left-handed” and left, because she was uncomfortably pushy about the whole thing and I don’t care for that, legit or not.

[therainshallmakeadoor-deactivat]

One of the reasons why I despise energy work / healing is because I’ve always been told by random fuckers that my aura is « dark, very dark » (or indigo what a clownery) and aggressively dense. This is what you get for refusing free hugs in pagan events smh.

[jbirdoftheriverlands-deactivate]

Same here. I love it when someone is just absolutely wasted on the new age and I’ll pop off something hilarious, being a smart ass, as one does, and 9 times out of 10 the response is “I knew there was something up with your energy the moment I saw your aura.”

When “indigos” go bad, you get witches, apparently.

[helheth]

I’m personally just stunned my $5 tarot reading immediately tried for a $1,400 upsell cause she said a dark entity was attached to me. It’s fine ma'am it’s just the devil

[jbirdoftheriverlands-deactivate]

Probably just a coincidence. I bet she says that to all the customers.

[ofwordsandblood]

It’s fine ma'am It’s just the Devil

[numinousnova]

I do know someone who sees auras as spinning disks, and has told me some of mine aren’t spinning right. BUT it wasn’t someone trying to sell me something, just a friend who noticed something off. Which honestly lines up bc something about my energy system is FUCKED UP

Why do all online reviews of occult literature suck?

There are two types:

A - “You won’t even COMPREHEND how powerful this magickal tome is! I am an elite hidden master of the arte of the magickqkc temple and I have used this book to conjure the MOST powerful spirits with the dark necromantick spells of QAYIN.”

B - “This book had the word religion in it and I thought it would be about Jesus, but there are DEMONS in it? Wtf Middle Ages? I set it on fire in my yard to prevent the demons from climbing into my asshole.”

Both of these people need to go to Amazon review jail.

If I may disturb you a moment..

I’d like to talk about Eve. Within Theistic Satanism and Luciferianism Lilith gets all the love (deservedly so) but Eve is an often overlooked figure. 

It may seem odd to include her in the Satanic or Luciferian ranks but hear me out- she was a fucking badass. 

In my mind she is the second enlightened woman; she views herself as more than Adam’s literal other-half and sees through the thin veneer of her creator’s free will.

The image of her accepting the fruit of knowledge is made even more powerful if the serpent is taken to be Lilith. What could be read as women’s inherent weakness to temptation is completely inverted. Instead it becomes a symbol of initiation and empowerment

Lilith has taken on a tutelary role, she is the figure that fans the flames of Eve’s curiosity.

Eve was a rebel who betrayed the wishes of her creator in the pursuit of greater knowledge. That’s punk rock. 

To me she’s the queen of risk-takers, academics and freedom fighters.

Spite, Satanism, and Spirituality

Ok so we all have that part of us that likes doing shit that would piss off the conservative + fundamentalist Christians. Trust me, I live for that shit.

However, its important to not let spite be the driving force of your spiritual satanism. I let it get me to the point where I was admittedly an ass about some stuff and it just. Didnt feel right. .

Letting spite control me and my path actually caused my connection to Sathanas + Lucifer to fade. Satan does NOT want us to be dicks to Christians the way SOME are to us unless they are actively starting shit, because there are MANY wonderful Christian + Catholic folk out there. Case in point, my bf: he knows I'm a satanist and offered me a dictionary shaped metal safe to hide satanic shit in if I ever decided to get a copy of the satanic bible..

I have my gripes with christianity, I have many gripes with it. I do not like christianity in the slightest, BUT that does not give me the right to be a dick to the good ones who follow it. And it doesn't give me the right to base my entire spirituality on actions that spite a whole religion.

Look I'm all for blasphemy, but it CANNOT and SHOULD NOT be the entire basis of your spirituality. It'll only hinder your connection to Satan in the end

[numinousnova]

Most people: You must treat Goetic demons with absolute respect!! They are Very Serious. If you don’t treat them with respect They Will Kill You.

Me, blasting “Phoenix” by FOB while invoking Ipos: I know this absolutely annoys you but I also know you love me and you make fun of me all the time this is just payback ily

[dryadofephesus]

Most people: demons will fuck you up if your practice isnt 100% serious all the time 24/7

Me: literally drew Paimon as Anne Boelyn from Six as an offering because they specifically requested it and has a devotional playlist for them that's 99% musical theatre

I can't thank you enough for being so kind and answering my questions 💜 I also know that spells don't necessarily have to be words or long texts, but what are other forms of spells? I need forms of quick spells that can be done easily if I'm in hurry or something

I'm afraid that's something I wouldnt know, all the spells I do I take my time with.

Since I make most of the spells I do I'm under the assumption I will be spend about 10 minutes doing physical prep so protection and all that, then another 10 grounding raising intention then doing the spell itself can take time, then cleanup, I don't have any quick spells.

Now, the Irish have spoken magick that can be extremely powerful, like they say sentence and it's done but thats generally in the form of a hex or jinx, not normal magick, I don't also know if that's a specific Irish thing or if other people can learn to do it too. Plus you would have to be EXTREMELY powerful and experienced for your words to have that ability. I'd need to look more into it but that's the closest thing I can think of to what you're looking I'm afraid.

Sorry I'm not much help on this one!

Sigils are really simple ways of preforming quick magic. They aren’t technically “spells” but they can be literally any design you see fit- the importance is the intent you put behind them, which can be pretty much anything. There are a million ways you can craft and charge sigils.

Black Witchcraft

Practitioners perform acts which are spiteful and provide harm to others.

They utilize unnatural acts which inflict danger to a number of people. With this, their enemies can be washed away or banished in a certain place.

They conduct negative acts in order to punish spiteful enemies for their selfish gain.

Practitioners use black magic. Nonetheless, black magic is not solely used for negative sense. It can also provide best hopes to those people who are hurt and needs to regain strength through fighting back.

People do not take black magic lightly. They tend to fear the practitioners of black witchcraft.

The magic used in this kind of witchcraft is a common source of misconception.

Black magic is commonly practiced in most of the black witches’ covens.

Practitioners sometimes fear the negative consequences of black magic.

This is all well and good but the term “black magic” has racist roots, and was used to demonize the practices of black magic users- such as those that practice Hoodoo and Voodoo. Instead of saying black magic, use the term “baneful Magic”- it’s counterpart (“white magic”) being boon magic

[arcanicdreams]

So is anyone on the witchy/pagan side of tumblr knowledgeable about Hecate in particular? I’m more of a secular witch, and any traditions I’ve paid attention to have come out of my own Irish heritage, but Hecate has been popping up a lot lately and I’m not one to ignore things that feel like hints.

[numinousnova]

Yes hello I’ve worked with Hekate personally if you’d like to hear my experiences with her!
