okay woah

hi

I am brainstorming ideas for fae x creepypasta but I'm also gonna mix in other lore (ghosts, seers, occult magic, etc.)

Selfishly I will be plugging my own characters or else why would we be here, but I'm thinking of starting off in a narrative format and incorporating lore dumps as needed.

Now I am crazy so I will be "researching". Aka finding every og creepypasta story, every rewrite, and every lore based fanfic I can so that I can pick out which elements mix in well with faefolk. If you have any recommendations, lemme know!

I already know a fair bit about faefolk, but if there are any good articles, books, or websites with some yummy extra lore and history do share. I eat that shit up. See you soon!

Blessed imbolc everyone!

I'm running a small community for Intermediate to Advanced witches, spiritual practitioners, druids, norse pagans who fight nazis, wiccans, pagans, occultists, whatever honestly. Its still small adult community and we really need some people who could increase our engagement on there ❤️ just to post pictures of what their doing, ask more specific Qs that couldn't be answered by Google, and spread useful information. Its 18 plus just because I do want it to be a safe space for sex magic, blood magic, and just generally more adult forms of magic I personally would only wanna discuss with other adults.

Request to join if you're interested 🥺💗

Problems and Some Solutions for the Beginning Sorcerer

I've been busy with banishing rituals, the Neither-Neither, and sigil magick for some weeks now. Picking up from my previous post on a chapter of Stephen Mace's Stealing the Fire from Heaven:

To Know Self

Mace recommends three books.

Journey to Ixtlan by Carlos Castaneda

Tales of Power by Carlos Castaneda

The Dream Game by Ann Faraday

To Control Mind

Mace recommends yoga although we aren't to pursue it as actual yogis, but as sorcerers. He also discusses yoga through the filter of Crowley's Book 4 and what I assume is Patanjali's formulation of the 8 limbs of yoga. Mace prescribes a practice of an hour a day for two years.

To Develop Will

To this end Mace again taps into Crowley's ideas, namely Magick in Theory and Practice. The practice itself can be briefly described as such: taking an oath to not do an arbitrary action that has no moral or emotional significance. The idea is to strengthen our will with "innocuous" denials and not corrupt it with desire. Later once our wills are stronger we can attempt to work this on our actual "dark nasties" and bind them.

To Enforce Prudence

Mace dedicated an entire to chapter to this, and once again takes his cue from Crowley. Several points from Liber AL val Legis or the Book of the Law are quoted in relevance to the stated aim.

My Own Intuition

Prior reading that I've done on writers like Castaneda and Crowley have probably poisoned the well a little, so to speak. But I'm open to trying new things and giving them half a chance. Having said that, I can't ignore my intuition when it's pulling me in certain other directions. I have a list of substitutions for the recommended practices. I'll discuss them in a later post.

ʚ♡⃛ɞ Simple Way to work with the angels! ʚ♡⃛ɞ

ʚ♡⃛ɞ If you are a beginner, angel work can seem overwhelming especially with all of the different practices and viewpoints to dive into

ʚ♡⃛ɞ One of the simplest ways to work with the angels is to write to them! This specifically deals with journaling!

ʚ♡⃛ɞ When you journal, you tend to write down your inner monologue and how you may be feeling on a particular day, when you write your feelings out, you are able to find a sense of release and catharsis that may have been stuck inside you, not just in your mind, but in your body as well!

ʚ♡⃛ɞ You can release it all to the angels or a specific angel you desire to write to! I tend to write to them on their specific assigned days, but there is not harm at all in writing to them at anytime, especially if it’s a specific angel you want to work with more closely

ʚ♡⃛ɞ As an example, Samael is my Sun Angel and Raphael is my moon angel, I tend to communicate with them the most (I also talk to Chamuel a lot as well!), I learn about who my enemies are through Samael as he helps expose them for me, and I learn about different ways to generally heal through Raphael

ʚ♡⃛ɞ If there is something that you want from them, you can ask for their help too! Just simply write about your situation, (and be fully honest as this helps with releasing everything to them so they can take care of it!) and ask for them to help, and remember to say thank you!

ʚ♡⃛ɞ I usually also write their sigils in my journal before writing and it doesn’t hurt to light a candle or incense while writing either!

ʚ♡⃛ɞ I repeat, the more you are honest and the more you share with them, the more they are able to help out with the situation! You can ask for “abundance”, but they also need to know what abundance you have in mind and why you TRULY want it, doing this will allow them to help you find what you are looking for more efficiently! (the saying “play silly games, win silly prizes” comes to mind)

ʚ♡⃛ɞ You can write something like “Dear Archangel Michael, I am having trouble with feeling vulnerable and my boundaries being crossed, can you please help me with cutting off any negative ties and put a field of protection around me? Thank you!”

Savior

I honestly truly believe that witchcraft saved me. Throughout my childhood, I was taken advantage of. I was shy and I let people do whatever they wanted to me. But one day I looked out at the forest and I felt it calling me. So I ran to the forest and when I arrived I felt all this power run into me. Months passed and I realized that nature gave me power and once I learned how to use it, I wasn’t shy anymore. I didn’t let anyone take advantage of me.

I am powerful and I’m going to use this power to get the things I want.

I will use it to protect myself.

Sigil Magic: Observation of Results

These past several days I've been experimenting with sigil magic as taught by Stephen Mace in Stealing the Fire from Heaven. Here are my findings so far.

Firstly, the method taught is not very difficult. Sigil creation is easy enough. Memorizing and repressing the sigil in my subconscious is also not hard. The charging method itself while not technically challenging takes a bit of time. Creating vacuity by performing the banishing ritual Mace taught is easy enough, but the practice of generating free belief from the Neither-Neither principle has me searching and reaching for juxtapositions of beliefs with strong enough emotional contents. That aside, imagining the sigil burning white hot in my field of vision as it charges is both a simple and stunning exercise in mental visualization.

Secondly, the results of this method of sigil magic is simultaneously impressive and disappointing. There are some things it's immediately good for: effecting change directly within myself, e.g. behaviors and thought patterns. There are some other things that it clearly has little to no sway over, generally things and people external to my mental environment. At least that's how it seems for now. The metaphysics of Mace's sigil magic method involve planting the sigil deep enough in my mind until it reaches the Mind of God. Maybe I just haven't learned how to go deep enough yet.

Back to the lab I go.
