rant on source wells and energy structure grids and existence
OKay so most of my knowledge on this shit predates my tumblr involvement. It was back in the days when I didn't even know what was happening to me was astral traveling and Lesho was taking me places and teaching me stuff for HOURS everyday bc I had a work opportunity to be in deep trance states for 7 hours a day. THATS AN UPG WARNING THERE
Okay so there was this one time Leo made me clean parasites. To be rid of them once and for all, she showed me how to descend layers and access a energy well/source and make it swallow the Thing. Back then the only energy work "official", learned in books and with ppl knowledge I had was to make shiny balls and see auras, like, basic New Age stuff from my early teens (yes i know... lol). So I didn't know anyone else experimented that. When I saw ppl talking about this shit on Tumblr my brain lit up like OMG!! I know this shit, I use this kind of shit everyday!! And OKAY. Source wells are a SHIT belonging to other layers of reality and energy than spirits and beings and things. It's the thing that exists behind the "reality grid", behind the energy structure of existence and shit (what I call the energy structural web). It's not something you can just waltz up to, talk to and then come back like "i just had a cup of tea, it was nice, hehehe". It's something that's so aloof of existence and reality as we perceive it, THIS SHIT CAN BE FUCKING SCARY you know. It's unaltered energy in its primal forms. Like, kinda sentient, but not in the way Reiki can be. it's more savage and so unhuman you can't relate to this energy form These source wells are the thing "powering up" existence. And I mean existence as everything that exist, and everything that has existed, and everything that will exist, and everything that has a potentiality to exist. We are linked to them via intermediaries. This is were things are created, and things "die".
sources are actually kinda a political issue in the astral. You know, everyone has their source, they want it to be and stay potent so they can thrive on it so they will try everything to help nourish these wells. Okay i'm getting complicated. Crash thing: Sources create and generate. But nothing is created from nothing, even in fucking creation. It needs the spark, and to create the spark something to create a agitational state in the first place.
TL;DR sources needs maintenance. They need to maintain their cycle, Aka create-destroy-create. If they stop getting fuel they will stop creating, eventually. OF COURSE THAT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE. But slowing down the cycle has direct grave consequences on the intermediaries and on the energy grid that relies on this source for sustenance. That said, sources can be manipulated. It's easier than it seems, providing you know how to read and navigate the energy structure web it's tied to. AKA you can steal parts of this energy. That doesn't mean you'll suddenly become more powerful or a super human, no no no, we aren't in a Hollywood Movie (do try to keep up!). But that means that the parts of existence relying on this source will notice the cycle has lost its intensity, and will try to undo what you did. AKA GODS sometimes.
In this paradigm (aka view on the world based on its underlying energy structure), everyone of us is connected in some way to a source bc thats where we "came" from, in an energetic way. We help maintain the cycle by just existing.
This has been a massive UPG. The fact that others experimented kinda the same doesn't necessarily means it's truth. AT ALL. Maybe I am too stupid to understand reality differently and I just interpreted what i saw in a warped way. Maybe I'm right. Who KNOWS? I don't care at this point tbh
hello i have a few questions about energy threading: 1) with the sigil, do you put it in yourself. what do you do when you are done with the sigil? 2) can you weave a ward with threads? 3)how many threads can you make and 4) what are you experiences with energy threading and do you have any updates to the post you want to add? thanks!!
THIS HAS SAT IN MY INBOX FOR SOME TIME SORRY ANON
Link to the original post discussed here
When I was discussing threads, I could have said “chords” but back then I hadn’t had the opportunity to discuss this with others and such was only speaking about my UPG. Since then, I have met others who use chords and their manipulation to do energy work, including cutting relationship chords, creating “sigils” and healing energy nets or doing surgery.
On the sigil front, I am more reserved now. I used “sigil” as a default term because I didn’t know what else I could call that for everyone to understand me, but now I’d rather employ “structure”, which gives this a wider context. The main idea of this application is being able to create a structure which “programs” and direct the energy. In my case, one of my daily exercises is checking the structure I build around my energy body; it works like a ward and is constructed by recreating a protection symbol I was given with energy chords.
The layer on which this work is possible is a layer that almost *doesn’t exists*. By that I mean it’s removed from the regular energy layer we usually work with and exist in. It’s the layer that programs reality, if you wish. I have since realized you can see the energy forming the outside part of the chord as not being the same as the energy circulating in it. It’s a kind of “reality” tissue that works like blood vessel or something. To me, the energy looks whitey and shimmery, like the kind of void energy I was involved with when doing creation/destruction work. Could be linked to what @mirron91 and @sordhent recently called “non reality” energy types.
You can certainly do the same with a sigil you created, it probably won’t function as the usual methods for sigil uses but it could help you in creating a working, efficient structure. IDK TEST IT. I don’t work with created sigils, only with symbols given to me who already harness power on their own.
I don’t think there’s a limitation on how many threads you can form. It’s more a matter of how much concentration and focus you can master. When the structure is stable you don’t need focus anymore, it exists on its own. Actually even if it’s not legit what i’m doing and simply managing chords it kinda works the same way, I believe.
On the ward creation part, of course you can use this method!
I have a big update on the post and it’s linked to the ward bit, because I have realized that when I see energy chords, I can sometimes see the symbols programming it. For example, on an old, biblical magic I saw Akkadian symbols. I also see the symbols that were given to me on occasions elsewhere, when I’m reading my friends’ wards for example. I don’t know if i’m really uncovering a big secret, it’s more like it’s my way of “reading” energy.
Seeing the underlying structure behind the chords is actually harder, but when I manage to do it I can do super cool things.
It’s a work in progress and I might add info and ramblings from time to time, but I won’t develop on the parts I’m not at least partly sure of.
greysorcery replied to your post “Energy threading - going beyond visualization”
I have incorporated void energy into all of my energy points. However, void energy makes up the entirety of all three eyes. It is just as useful as a part of our internal energy networks as it is with the external. Could you point me in the direction of even more advanced work? I mean like, the /really/ advances stuff. I’ve been doing the things in this post since I was a child. I’ve developed a few neat tricks of my own- but I’d like to study some techniques that are super difficult. ��
@greysorcery
I don’t know? What is more advanced stuff to you exactly? Is difficulty a reliable cursor of judging the complexity?
A lot of things I have worked on in the last months are advanced, not especially bc of their difficulty, but rather because of how specific they get. I won’t be able to talk about these for several reasons but yeah. Get more specific? Follow a thread wherever it goes (lol, energy work puns). That’s where you’ll find more advanced stuff.
Advice to someone who has fallen off their spiritual path?
I’d say it depends on the context.Have you fallen out of your craft because you just are too absorbed by the rest of your life (school, work, having children, mental health problems, a new centre of interested etc)? Or is it because you just fell out of love with your spirituality, out of touch with the spirits?
In the first case, I’d recommand really considering if you have the time and energy to fully commit again to your old path. Maybe what you need rn is a lighter, less time consuming version? Something like just doing energy work in the shower, or talking to the spirits when you are in the shower? Life is a twisting, uneven stream and yeah at times you have to admit you just have changed too much, or your conditions aren’t right and you need to be more patient.
If that’s a case of having lost the spark, I’d ask you to take a step back and consider the practice you had. Has anything happened around the time you stopped? Did you move to another place (and so, changed energy environment/local spirits)? What did you love about your practice? What would you need to change to pick things right up?
What were your reasons behind your practices and beliefs? SUPER IMPORTANT QUESTION
In any case, when you have truly spent time reflecting on these questions, ,maybe you could try sparkling things up by pretending you can pick up right where you were before.
PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT. PRACTICE IS WHAT MAKE OUR BRAIN CREATE NEW CHANNELS. PRACTICE ALSO SOMETIMES MAKE THINGS HAPPEN THAT CAN RIGHT AWAY MAKE YOU FALL IN LOVE WITH YOUR PATH AGAIN
If miracles don’t happen, don’t stress out it’s all okay. Life is a series of cycles, of beginnings and of endings, sometimes you need to go with the flow and ride out the hard parts before you can steer in another directions
You can look at this post too
In last resort, but it’s the least probable, 0,000000000001 chance it is your case Anon, believe me that’s super rare, but sometimes it can be a sign your spiritual self is experiencing bad things (astral body sick, cursed, binded by entities….)It’s probably not your case so be sure to rule out all other possibilities and if you decide you want to look that thing up, be sure to ask several good professionals to cross check.
Under the cut, a longish summary of a really recent adventure we had. It’s in “story form” (with almost accurate dialogues, lol), leaving some more personal bits behind.
I have met this enchanting God-tier creature in a particular context, which didn’t end as he had wished it’d do. There was a contract we were both parties of, and those who issued the contract promised him things they couldn’t give him. In retaliation, he clearly said he wanted to eat me but he chickened out and fled, chased by another God-tier entity.
I thought it was over and I’d never cross path with him again, that he would be either dead or otherwise occupied. I was wrong.
Five days ago on the physical world, for the first time in forever, I took down all my personal wards and shields and redid them the minute after. This dude caught my scent in the minute I took. He came from worlds away, and arrived in my vicinity Sunday night. I noticed because my energy was suddenly on high alert mode, adrenaline pumping in my veins, my etheric body not aligned with my physical, hell I was freaking out without knowing why. Lesho was very supportive and comforting, said it was nothing to be afraid of and motivated me like a cheerleader, because I was at work having a panic attack. It was a bad timing, I had nothing on me, I couldn’t go out of body to properly take care of whatever was sending me on edge. My core was very agitated, it was uncomfortable as hell (plus, as I’d realized later, that just kept sending random and blurry beacons at the fucker, lol).
As soon as I was out of work in the morning Lesho said it was Robert (let’s call him that), back for me, hunting down my vessel to eat me. I went home, (letting Lesho chose the music and she played "Carry on my Warward Son", lol, basic bitch), grabbed some tools and went to a nearby hill, hoping to catch the end of the night to be at my more powerful state. I sat down in the icy wind, lit a lantern, put a summary ward to cover my already warded body, and went flying.
He came instantly. His form was massive af, 600 feet high, standing on all fours, this big black shape with sharp teeth and spiral horns. In spirit form I was feeling none of the earlier agitation, and Lesho by my side was ready to jump and help me if I needed to (she lets me do things alone as much as possible, for my “education”, as she says). We exchanged niceties; he growled, making the wind around my vessel pick up and almost sending me back to it. Then he attacked, aiming for the general vicinity of my physical body he couldn’t see. I tried some tricks, even scaled up his body at one point using my sword as an handle, but I quickly realized I only managed to piss him off. As I was standing on his neck, half supporting my weight with my wings, Lesho entered communication.
"What do you plan on doing, if I'm not bothering you?"
"You are, I was having the time of my life being shaken right and left."
"So I noticed. It's getting late, you should hurry."
"I'm going to try and use void on him. He's from the void, no? That should have some effect on him."
She lifted an eyebrow telepathically. I smirked as I drew my void blade from thin air, and slashed, letting the pitch black energy take a larger form as it connected with his neck and decapitated him.
I joined Lesho, happy to be secure and eager to go to bed because I could feel the distant strain on my vessel, and the cold biting my face. She made a Face, I turned around and holy shit, I saw aggressive black tendrils rising from Robert's body. She joined me as I jugulated them, using my void blade to separate them from the corpse. She was silent so I know I was not doing the Right Thing, but I decided to keep going anyway and observe because I had no better idea.
The last tentacle morphed; it soon swallowed the whole corpse and became a big tower of oily black matter, with hundreds of eyes on its surface. I sliced it in half, using some other power. The tower collapsed on itself, becoming a thick liquid absorbing light in an (odder) way, then all that was left was a pile of the gooey matter that soon was absorbed by the earth. I flew to the place, turning on my "layer view" and realized Robert had, once more, escaped.
Lesho chuckled. "Can I make fun of-"
"Too soon."
We immediately set to work on giving my physical body the same wards we had devised against him in a faraway location, so he couldn't sniff me out again.
The day after, as I was driving my car in the vicinity of this hill, I suddenly sighted him walking over a forest. "Fuck he's still here!"
Lesho shrugged. "He'll tire of searching." I gave her a Look. "Okay, he won't. Do you want to deal with him?"
"What are our options? I don't want him to escape again."
"He's still hurt, he's probably weaker. I bet you could easily make sure he won't escape."
"It would be nice to know why my body reacts this way? It's… crippling, to say the least." She smirks. "Fair. Don't tell me. I'll figure it out." … "Could I…"
"Oh no… what stupid idea has gotten to your brain this time, again?"
"Maybe I could persuade him we could be allies? Maybe I don't have to kill him, you know, him being an old god from a foreign world and all…"
"My. Of course, you could *try*. It won't be easy, considering he's a simpleton only happy to eat things floating in the universe.” She's hard on him. He was not a simpleton at all, he was very capable of reasoning. He just wasn't used to his food conversing with him. Last time, we hanged around with him for a long period and he wasn't big on having debates, even before he thought of us as food.
After researching on the matter (and after I asked some ppl I trust), we devised a plan to trap him and destroy him in the fastest, more secure way. Something I'm already positive I can do, for once lol. That would leave us time to woo him.
I was taught how to heal my physical body with my astral one (weirdest, coolest way to heal oneself), and understood how dumb I was for not realizing sooner they both had very, very different energy signatures and attunements. My astral body was very capable of handling and conjuring void energies, and could take damage from corrupted void energy to a point, whereas my physical body and its energy couldn't be more adverse to void. I'm still pondering the implications of that. I hate not being able to remember important shit like this.
Tuesday evening, I had a field day sitting at my window, watching Robert roaming the countryside, extending a tendril of energy and feeling him search for it, only to realize there's nothing. Lesho laughed at my antics. I actually learned a bit about how he could feel me/how my core could be felt even through the best wards, if I let it reach out. We devised it would be dealt with the day after, leaving enough time for Lesho to complete with Q the cage she'd use.
When the following day rolled by, I could feel the corruption rising, and I know we had to do something, fast, or else nature and spirits would suffer.
As soon as I had the opportunity, I got out of body completely and flew to an empty field. I conjured him and there he was, trying to grasp me with his claws. I jumped to an air current, letting him follow me with his huge body. Etheric trees cracked. I heard screams but I went on, guiding him towards Lesho's trap.
We played mouse and cat for some time. I was adamant on making him believe he had the upper hand. Each time I stroke currents with my staff, I heard him roar in rage. I flew faster, higher; until we were so far up we were out of the atmosphere. He made a last motion towards me, only for the cage to fall conveniently on his front hand/claw/whatever that thing was called.
"Oooops" said Lesho. "My bad, I wasn't aiming for your hand at all."
He shrieked. We all jumped layers, making the cage follow smoothly. Below us, a powerful current was headed directly to the energy equivalent of Mount Doom. Robert's energy was kept within the cage, so his roars had no other effect on us and our surroundings, but the magic infused metal was getting hotter by the minute under the duress.
"Stupid humans! You have no idea what you are doing!"
Lesho smirked. The cage suddenly dropped a few feet. "Unfortunately for you, and as you should already be aware considering our... history, we are far from human. And we know exactly what we are doing here."
"Unleash me! Or I'll eat you!"
"Do you still want to carry on your plans, dear?" asked Lesho sarcastically towards me.
I took my best voice. "I have an offer to make. Should you change your mind and accompany us in peace, I'll give you things to eat as long as you follow us."
A powerful growl. "I'd rather die than be in the service of anyone!"
Lesho dropped the cage again. "Ooops, what were you saying again?"
"You. I should have eaten you before-"
The cage dangled dangerously, sending him careening to a side.
"He won't change his mind. You know that. He already demonstrated how stubborn he is several times. And if we don't do this, he'll eventually go back to eat *them*. We would endanger *children*."
"… I know. Let’s do it."
"Any last words?" she asked him.
His energy swirled in his eyes in sickly volutes. "Fuck you."
I let her release her hold on the cage, and I pushed it in the current with a bitter heart. I hate killing things, if things could have happened differently…
We directly went back to work on healing the countryside he wasted, and helping the spirits. I was very happy to see the corruption hadn't been too bad. We went back home to grab our friends, and set to work for several tedious hours.
My conception of what spirit work and astral travel means
(leaving outside any specific traditions specificities, I'm trying to extrapolate on my personal experience)
Via astral exploration and spirit encounters, you will reconnect with a "greater" Self
For example, you will unlock past lives memories via meeting spirits from these lives. You will stumble across the planes and specific places your Self go to between incarnations. For me, our "true" life, that's closest to what our Self has always experienced (vs changing incarnations/locations/psyche) is what happens between incarnations. Maybe that's not applying to you at all, but that's how it works for me. Incarnations are like "missions", or "vacations"… they are just moments in time, but I always have a home waiting for me elsewhere that I can reach via astral travel.
As you reconnect to this greater Self that may be drastically different from your current human self (and I'm not only talking otherkins… I'm also talking about differences in psyche and how you think and envision the world around you), you will unearth a lot of good and less-good things. You will remember enemies that may still be after your blood (and may be spirits but also may be incarnated human beings who are not "enemies" to you right now per se, but somehow make your life more difficult without even meaning to, without having any knowledge of being your enemy). You will also remember allies and friends and lovers and simple acquaintances. Some spirits and gods may come to you because they have long standing contracts with you that you made before and don't even remember.
Being often in the astral and reconnecting with memories will change you. You can't even begin to image how much it will change you if this process hasn't started for you. You will start to think like your astral self thinks. Maybe you won't be able to reconnect at all with the time you are currently living in, your human incarnation and the world that is around it, because you'll just have a mass of knowledge too big to fit a human being meant to function in society.
Pretend you are an amnesiac living somewhere no one knew them from before their loss of memories. You have acquaintances and friends, maybe even a lover; you have a job; not everything is perfect but hey that still works. Would you open a trunk containing all the info for the person you were before? Would you look at files citing people that were important to you and were they are now? Would you look at your former home pics? Would you read letters you have written in the past, books, and articles? Knowing that you won't be able to have all of this again, because it's in the past? Knowing your new friends/family/lovers/coworkers care for you and would be devastated to lose you to this past? Because if you do, your current life will not fit you anymore. You won't be able to carry on as if nothing ever happened. You'll be able to keep on with this life, but it will never be as easy and simple as it was before. Maybe leaving this trunk sealed shut is wisest, to be happy with what you currently have and what you are.
I'm being unfair. Lots of us didn't even had this choice.
Of course it will change things for the better. It puts your life on perspective.
I can't guaranty you'll have answers to all of your metaphysical or existential queries. In fact, it might be the opposite. For each questions you had before, you'll now have dozens.
Hi, this is the lesho spirit guide Anon! Is there anyway someone can meet their guide/a spirit teacher?
Hey again!There's a lot of ways to meet your spirit guides, as there can be an infinite number of types of guides. They can be anything ranging from the occasional animal, insect, plant, ROCK, angel, demon, god, alien, whatever to the dead human who specialised in whatever you do as a hobby and chose to stay to help you become better at the thing. The best course of action is to first learn to communicate with spirits so you can actually, you know, HEAR the dude when you'll try to contact them. There's also a lot of ways of going about that depending on your tradition and there's tons of info on that on tumblr and google and BOOKSAnyway yeah, spirits guides can be anything, but they really are only spirits and entities, they are just here to follow you for a bit, sometimes they don't stay long, other times they stay your whole life. They can be straight right assholes or a literal fluffy bunny that will cuddle you. YOU DONT HAVE TO TRUST THEM UNCONDITIONALLY. You are the only sovereign over your soul and existence. They will teach you something, unbeknown to them or not, but yes the fact they are guides don't make them the ultimate authority on your life and your worldview.
How do YOU, personally, astral travel? I’ve seen some guides but I was curious as to how you do it yourself if you don’t mind sharing?
At first it was through trance work. Now I am almost always bilocating so it's just a matter of balancing between the Astral and the physical :) I also use my own oils and plants when I purposely want to stay on the edge and not being able to focus 100% on the physical (mostly mugwort and wormwood, which both I love v much, and tobacco for the casual "lemme feel Lesho's energy as easily as I can feel the ground underneath my feet" but anyway these plants are dangerous).The first time I did Astral I had help, and the spirit pulling me just ripped off the "veil" (really, more like plucked out my third eye eyelid). I also had help from spirits to make a talisman in the earlier days, and learned techniques to synch things on the Astral and the physical. Really I just cheated a lot.And now I just need to ground my physical body and then reach out to Lesho and here I am. She's rarely totally away from my Astral body. Grounding is good because it helps when you come back. And also energy transmissions are smoother (Astral automatic memory transmission can be waaay too messy otherwise). If Lesho is away or if I have to take my Astral body out of my physical body because of whatever circonstances, I just, dunno focus on moving my Astral body? Because I know it and know what it feels like? I hate writing that because for someone who never felt their own Astral body it may set an impossible golden standard (™ Dusken lmao).Sometimes I don't chose being in the Astral but my consciousness just zaps there if something's dangerous or whatever, I guess that doesn't count.What you need to remember from all of this sleepy ramble is: my way to Astral travel is my gayness lmao. May not be a lot of use to anyone else
