hello friends, and welcome to my corner!

i consider myself a polytheistic LHP (left hand path) practitioner. i work with deities from various pantheons, mainly hellenic polytheism and infernal.

i specialize in divination, enchantment, warding, baneful magick, and spirit work; i also have prophetic dreams here and there.

about me:

i am over 21.

orange is my favorite color.

i have a black cat and a ball python.

i love video games.

i am a poet and an artist.

my chemical romance is my favorite band.

i've been called a “human ouija board”

good to meet you :)

[divinelustre]

Stop letting ai into occult spaces. Theres no reason for it. Ai is bad. Its bad for media literacy and the enviornment (its quite literally fucking up our water sources). How can u claim to be a witch/practitioner and single handedly be apart of a larger problem.

Libation Structure

Preparing a bowl of salt natron, or salt water, a bit is placed on the tongue to purify the speech. Thereafter, some is sprinkled on the self to purify the body.

Invocation of the Gods:

Hear, you divine rulers of the world, hear and see this rite which I offer in your majesty. Let the winds be silent, let nature hear, the offerings I am about to give. Sing, O' Muses, the songs of the Gods, and let them be exalted by your fervent prayers!

The candle is lit in dedication to Hestia, who receives the first offerings of the libation. The water is poured:

"Hestia, Queen and Daughter of Almighty Khronos, you hold the center of the home, its eternal and greatest fire. And may you consecrate us, your initiates, in the holy rituals and make us thrive forever, blessed, cheerful and holy. Home of the blessed Gods, the strong foundation of mortals, eternal, many shaped, loved, and green as grass. Smiling, blessed one, take these offerings willingly, and breathe forth wealthy bliss and health with your soothing hands."

Add. Prayer: "Hear, O' Hestia, Goddess of the Hearth, and through your blessing, bless the home of (N.N), bless the Lares and Penates, let our offerings be received in perfection into the realm of the Theoi!

The Offering to the Agathos Daimon:

"I invoke the Great Daimon, the Dreadful but Gracious Commander Zeus/Iovis, the father of All, and giver of life to mortals. Great Zeus/Iovis, much-wandering, avenging god and king of all, you give wealth when you come, swelling with abundance, into a home, but then, you give a wasted livelihood to hard-laboring mortals; for the keys of pain and happiness are held by you. So, blessed and holy one, drive away mournful cares that send the destruction of life, over the whole earth, and may you provide a sweet, good and reputable end to our course."

Add. Prayer:

"Oh Agathos Daimon, hear, through your power and grace, grant that we may never err from this way of life, and hold onto that Divine Knowledge which was granted to us in the Beginning, by the Aion set above the heavens!

The Offering to Tyche (Good Fortune):

"I call you here, Tyche, with prayers, who does good things, gentle one on the road, for rich wealth, Artemis the Guide, much famed, born from the blood of Eubouleus, having a will that none can break, funereal, roaming and praised in song by humans. Due to you, mortal life is rich with variety, for to some you give great prosperity, while to others, vile poverty, with hate turning over and over in your heart. But, Goddess, I pray you, blissful, to come gracious to my life with wealthy riches."

Add. Prayer: Hear, O' Great Tyche, Indomnitable Lady, see fit to grant unto the home of (N.N), protection from harmful spirits and cacodaimons, grant, then, that we may be filled with jovial prosperity and good fortune.

(Thereafter, other offerings can be made).

Siphon Spell

This spell was inspired greatly by fantasy media; I've never seen anything like it, which did make researching it pretty hard!

This is derived from two sources: a hex candle and a cord-cutting spell. Our goal is to take something from someone, possibly severing ourselves from them in the process.

I'm not getting into ethics here: this is a baneful spell. We are taking something that someone may hold dear to themselves. I'm not going to tell you the target has to deserve it. I'm not telling you things will come back at you threefold. Your own UPG tells you your own limits on baneful workings.

Fire safety is going to be a must here. This is a lot of fire, and you will need something to put out said fire at a moment's notice. Keep a damp cloth, a fire extinguisher, or a second tray at arm's length to smother the spell.

Ingredients:

Two Candles: Black for your target, and a color for you. This color should match the intention of what you're hoping to gain from your target: peace, creativity, abundance, prospects, joy, you name it.

Oils: At the very least, you'll need a neutral oil to dress your candle (olive, coconut), but you can also use something like a road opening oil, money oil, happiness oil, etc. You can even dress your neutral oil with essential oils (do your research to make sure they aren't toxic when burnt. Seriously. Some of these are bad for you.)

Herbs/Powders: For my target's candle, I used some baneful "herbs": Crushed red pepper, black pepper, and licorice root. Bitey, harsh, aggressive, and even some domination from the licorice. This is just what I had on hand. Rue, wormwood, and willow bark may also serve you well. Your candle should be dressed with herbs that match the intention that you're wishing to pull.

Twine: We'll be creating a line between our target and ourselves, letting their flame flow to us. Your twine should be safe to burn, no plastic or polyester.

A Heat/Fire Safe Tray: Deadass just a baking sheet works. Unless you're regularly doing candle spells, don't go out and buy an altar plate.

Optionals: Crystals, salt, herbs, dried fruits, anything to add to your tray to add to the spell. This will work without any of these, but amplifying and enhancing can only help.

An Incantation: Create your own incantation of your intention. There are a lot of different schools of thought on this, but it definitely doesn't have to rhyme, and many recommend you speak of what you want as if it has already happened. Be specific.

Assembly:

Cleanse Everything: This is a given.

Dress your candles: Draw a sigil of your choice, then, using your chosen oil, anoint the candle, and finally, dress the candle with your herbs and powders.

Tie the twine: Between the candles, tie the twine like you would a cord-cutting spell, with the main difference being that the cord on the target's candle needs to sit higher than on yours. Their side of the twine has to light first. You can choose to view the twine as a link between you and the target (burning it also severs your link), or you can choose to have the line merely be the vessel.

Dress your board: Add your candles, melting the bottoms and sticking them down if you need them to be more stable. Add any of your optional items.

The Ritual:

Prepare your spirit and your space: I'm a ceremonial magician, so I'd perform a banishing ritual and open a circle. Do you need to center? Cleanse? You know your practice.

Light the target's candle: With intention, light the candle. This is a good time to begin your incantation, focusing on what your target is losing.

Light your candle: Continue your incantation, focusing on what you gain. See point 4 for why, but consider if you want to use the target's candle to light yours. (Melted wax is hot, btw)

Feed your spell: Focus your energy and intention into the spell as it burns, especially as the twine catches and carries your candle. We want the other person's energy/peace/happiness/whatever to feed into us, so getting their flame to burn into our candle for as long as we can is the goal. I'm not telling you to literally manipulate the placement of the candles (though that's exactly what I did), I'm telling you to do what you need to feed your candle best, burning the target out as quickly as possible. (Sympathetic magic, my beloved).

Aftercare: You need to do what you need to do to take care of your spiritual self after a baneful working.

Disclaimers:

Make sure you're taking something you actually want. For example, I'm not sure I'd want to steal the passion from a MAGAt and put it into me, as it's incredibly icky passion. Without going into specifics, I used this spell as a direct 1:1. For example, say someone was really motivated in a job search, and I needed a job, I'd take their motivated energy to put into my own job search.

I have not written this spell in a super beginner-friendly way. You almost certainly need to have at least heard all of the words I mention in this post to really be ready to perform it. You can do this if you're a beginner, but you need to know what things like centering, sympathetic magic, and intention are.

Science is spiritual!

Learning how the world works doesn’t strip it of magic, it reveals even more of it. The more I understand the universe, the more sacred it feels.

[noahthesatanist]

It honestly disgusts me how much LaVey poisoned the well. His entire philosophy was just Ayn Rand’s garbage wrapped in occult aesthetics, and now countless so-called “Satanists” think they’re edgy and rebellious for parroting Objectivism, one of the most sterile, soulless, self defeating philosophies ever written. LaVey plagiarized Rand and her drivel numerous times in his "satanic bible" and the result has been decades of confusion where people genuinely believe selfishness and callousness are the essence of Satanism. Her entire philosophy of “rational selfishness” is an elaborate excuse for being a sociopath. It’s not strength, it’s not liberation, it’s not rebellion it’s the ideology of a hollow creature who cannot see beyond their own nose. She preached that altruism was a weakness, that empathy was a chain, that the highest form of human existence is to hoard wealth and look down upon the starving. That’s not Satanism. That’s not Luciferianism. That LaVey not only found this appealing but found it so prfound he fucking plagiarized what better shows how utterly fake his "Satanism" was. He didn’t want devotion to the Adversary, he didn’t want rebellion against Yahweh or even just the three abrahamic cults destructions no that would be bad then he cant put on his show he wanted an aesthetic for selfishness, something to justify his own indulgences while sneering at the very concept of higher ideals. And he found it in Rand’s filth. And has dared associate Lucifer with these ideals.

Lucifer did not rebel for selfishness. He did not endure exile and build Pandemonium for the sake of greed. He led angels into damnation because he believed there was something worth fighting for freedom, dignity, knowledge, truth. That is utterly incompatible with Ayn Rand’s so-called “objectivism.” She represents the exact kind of soulless materialist nihilism that Hell despises. There is no rebellion in her work, no sacred fire, no meaning. Just a hollow creed for those too cowardly to admit that they’re slaves to their own egos.

It infuriates me that her philosophy is taken seriously at all, but it’s especially vile that it slithered into Satanism through LaVey. To claim the name of Satan while parroting Rand is nothing short of blasphemy. True Satanism, theistic Satanism, Luciferianism it demands more. It demands loyalty, devotion, sacrifice, courage. It’s about a kingdom, not a boardroom. It’s about brotherhood, not selfish atomization. It’s about transcending the false order, not hiding in the rotten core of capitalism.

Baneful Magic Requires Trigger Discipline

Apply the Four Universal Laws of Gun Safety to your magical practice and you'll be golden.

Always assume all guns are loaded. For some reason I will never fully understand, a lot of people do baneful magic under the assumption it isn't actually going to work. When you're doing baneful magic, you need to assume that it will work, and that it will work devastatingly, to its fullest capacity.

Don't point your gun at someone you aren't prepared to kill. Don't do any magic if you aren't prepared for it to do exactly what you asked it to do. If you cast a spell with the potential to kill someone, you have to be prepared for it to do that. If you cast a spell that could destroy someone's family, you need to be prepared for it to destroy the family in any way the magic sees fit. If you aren't ready for that, don't fucking do it. When I made a poppet of some fucker who attacked my goddaughter, and started breaking its bones, I was fully prepared to actually break his bones. When he ended up in the ER for an injury on the same limb I had just broken, I accepted that as the consequences of my actions. If you don't know how to set and enforce parameters on a spell, don't use a spell that can do things you aren't ready for.

Keep your finger off the trigger until your target is lined up and you have made the decision to shoot. Don't just be flinging shit out into the universe. Don't send out a spell until you have fully laid out what it will do, what you won't allow it to do, the consequences, the sacrifice, and everything else. Don't cast that spell until you are fully confident in your informed decision.

Always be sure of your target, and know what is around and behind it. Make sure you're going after the right person. Make sure you're aware of all of the various ways that this spell can impact the people around that person. Make sure you can accept those consequences. Make sure you can deal with any magical repercussions for your spell.

the spirit halloweens in my city collect donations for our local children's hospital, and while out running around with my also witchy friend yesterday, we decided to pop in, and i decided to dedicate a donation to Lord Lucifer and got to write his name on the stickers they put up on the walls. kind of an odd offering but it felt very right. 10/10 recommend :)
