The Sunday Prayer:

The sun of my heart

reaches out to the sun of the skies.

Mirrors of light. Twin flames. Lovers.

Explode and burn.

Destroy and disintegrate.

Turn them into ashes,

the things I offer you.

As you explode and burn, give life.

As you destroy and disintegrate, revitalize.

From the ashes I offer,

from the glowing embers

sprout chrysanthemums of glory

gilded with victorious light

with petals of grace and richness.

Scent of joy, strength, and abundance.

I bow down in the white temple.

Your golden helmet gleams

and it burns my eyes deliciously,

and straight to my center.

Oh yes I hear it now,

your wisdom in tongues of flame that do not burn

but nourish.

I am undying and from this undeath may your eternal light warm the sadness of this earth,

and most importantly,

the sun of my heart.

An uttered prayer at 10:31pm:

I pray to the one both hidden and unseen,

both found and unfound.

I reach out beyond and within myself,

and conjure your presence.

My will is your will.

Your will is my will.

mine.

yours.

mine.

yours.

From your white hovering sphere above,

I reach out to to pluck out a vague mystical thought,

and draw a lighting stroke swift and transcendent.

I command

you

to fall through the branches of the tree.

The formless fire beyone your heaven I bring down through the ninth lavender gate

into the ebony

of the sphere below.

Crystallize.

I am transformed and I remain solidified,

formed from beyond, that is nothing.

From above

to below.

From below

to above.

I am a vessel, now upturned.

I smell the earth.

I feel the crumbling of the mountains,

and the rocks shuddering in awe.

Hear me.

Note To Self:

When deepely immersed in your occult studies... and when you come across something (a method/technique/piece of wisdom/advice) that immediately connects and resonates with you. REMEMBER IT, WRITE IT DOWN, MEDITATE ON IT.

It’s these simple moments that water and nourish the fertile soil of our spiritual and magical growth.

Tarot Cards: Interactions

When performing tarot readings, you should always take a look at how the cards are interacting with each other in order to give you a more in depth analysis of your answer. 

Figures that face to the left are passive, and relate to the past.

Figures that face you directly are present, and are asking for your immediate attention.

Figures that face to the right are moving forwards, and relate to the future.

If two tarot cards are facing each other (Card I looking towards the right, with Card II looking towards the left) then they are directly connected. 

Tarot cards that have multiple figures facing in different directions often represent an active situation.

random note to my lower self: spiritual/esoteric knowledge is so easily accessible nowadays to the point of inducing an overwhelming 7 of cups rider waite moment. Pick what you need, weed out the useless, and let yourself grow.

“Man is the microcosm or little world, and according to the doctrine of analogies, whatsoever is in the great world is reproduced in the small. Hence we have three centres of fluidic attraction and projection- the brain, the heart or epigastric region and the genital organ. Each of this instruments is one and twofold- in other words, we find the suggestion of the triad therein. Each attracts on one side and repels on the other. It is by means of such apparatus that we place ourselves in communication with the universal fluid supplied to us by the nervous system”

— Èliphas Lèvi

The Blue Sphere Exercise. (Paulo Coelho)

Seat yourself comfortably, and relax. Try not to think about anything.

1. Feel how good it is to be alive. Let your heart feel free and affectionate; let it rise above and beyond the details of the problems that may be bothering you. Begin to sing softly a song from your childhood. Imagine that your heart is growing, filling the room and later your home with an intense, shining blue light.

2. When you reach this point, begin to sense the presence of the saints (or other beings) in which you placed your faith when you were a child. Notice that they are present, arriving from everywhere, smiling and giving you faith and confidence.

3. Picture the saints approaching you, placing their hands on your head and wishing you love, peace, and communion with the world the communion of the saints.

4. When this sensation becomes strong, feel that the blue light is a current that enters you and leaves you like a shining, flowing river. This blue light begins to spread through your house, then through your neighborhood, your city, and your country; it eventually envelops the world in an immense blue sphere. This is the manifestation of the great love that goes beyond the day-to- day struggle; it reinforces and invigorates, as it provides energy and peace.

5. Keep the light spread around the world for as long as possible. Your heart is open, spreading love. This phase of the exercise should last for a minimum of five minutes.

6. Come out of your trance, bit by bit, and return to reality. The saints will remain near. The blue light will continue to spread around the world.

random thoughts and note to self:

We struggle so much to overintellectualize, and stress on searching for the magic and esoteric through outside things (books, complicated rituals, belief shifts, and timetables— I must admit at times, are all a guilty pleasure) when sometimes (if not most of the time) the answers we seek have always been inside and all around us.

All we need is to listen, to look inward and open up.

Ask, and you shall receive. Call, and they will always answer.

Become a vessel, and you will be filled up by the universe.

Listen. Listen. Listen.

The hearts knows.

a Babylonian exorcism formula

ašḫuṭ ašḫuṭ aštaḫaṭ aštaḫaṭ imṭīya tāniḫīya u tādirātīya u'a ayya mimma lemnu ša ina zumrīya šer'ānīya bašû ina muḫḫīkunu ašḫuṭ ašḫuṭ ša zumrīya ina muḫḫīkunu ašḫuṭ ša šīrīya ina muḫḫīkunu ašḫuṭ ša šer'ānīya ina muḫḫīkunu ašḫuṭ ša mešrētīya ina muḫḫīkunu

I have stripped off, I have stripped off, I have stripped off for good, I have stripped off for good, Upon you my depletion, my sighs and sorrows, woe, alas, all evil that is in my body and in my veins What’s in my body I have stripped upon you What’s in my flesh I have stripped upon you What’s in my veins I have stripped upon you What’s in my limbs I have stripped upon you

—

One of the incantations that’s part of a larger ritual for getting rid of evil spirits in ancient Babylon. Pronounce the š like the English sh, ḫ is the guttural h (like Hebrew chet), ṭ is an emphatic t. vowels with a macron over them indicate long vowels.

This is a very nice formula and once you get used to reciting it it rolls right off the tongue.

Self-reblogging just to say I just love this formula.

I’ve often combined this with the Bornless/Headless Rite and “anašši dipāru” to rid people of some seriously nasty things.

I usually begin with some invocations of deities (to which I’ve now added the Bīt Mēseri), Bornless and this, having the patient focus all their nastiness on a candle while I repeat, going progressively louder, the “ašḫuṭ ašḫuṭ aštaḫaṭ aštaḫaṭ” bit. Then I burn that candle with another candle reciting “anašši dipāru”, extinguish it in a bowl with water and break it. Some anointing and incense burning later and it’s all set.
