Deep dives
A Broadened Perspective on Ancestry
Ancestry is not limited to personal family lines but extends to all living creatures and even beyond humans.
The Significance of Movement
Movement is intrinsic to life and connects us to our ancestors. Exploring primal movement patterns helps us tap into our ancestral inheritance.
The Relationship Between Human Condition and Food
Examining the human condition through the lens of food helps us understand the complex and often controversial field of nutrition. Taking cues from ancestral principles and indigenous cultures, we can develop a more holistic approach to our modern eating habits.
Spirituality and Ancestral Wisdom
Discovering the spiritual and magical aspects of our ancestry provides a deeper understanding of our place in the world and offers opportunities for healing and growth.
Working with Demon Bowls
Demon bowls are clay bowls that are used to trap and protect against wandering spirits in ancient Mesopotamian cultures. They were typically placed at thresholds of homes and temples. Modern magicians can utilize demon bowls to protect their own spaces by enchanting the bowl and placing it strategically. The bowls serve as a physical and symbolic barrier against negative energies or spirits. By using demon bowls, magicians can actively engage in their own protection and maintain sovereignty over their space.
Creating Thought Forms and Servitors
Thought forms and servitors are mental constructs or entities that can be created and used in magical practices. These constructs can be summoned or evoked by the magician and treated as real and powerful spirits. By addressing them as ancient allies and giving them authority, they can carry out specific tasks or requests. The effectiveness of thought forms and servitors depends on the intention and communication with them. By working with these constructs confidently and consistently, magicians can achieve desired results and accomplish their magical goals.
Understanding Gen Magic
Gen magic refers to the practice of working with the Gen, supernatural entities in Middle Eastern folklore. While the understanding and practice of Gen magic can vary, there are some common themes. The Gen are often seen as powerful and palpable beings with distinct personalities and human-like characteristics. Working with the Gen can evoke fear due to their close resemblance to humans and their potential unpredictable behavior. However, they can also offer fast and effective results when petitioned correctly. Modern magicians are advised to thoroughly research and approach Gen magic with caution and respect to ensure informed and responsible practices.
Using Social Media for Magic
Social media can be utilized as a tool for magic, incorporating aspects of technomancy and engagement with algorithms. When magicians post about their magical practices online, the act of posting itself can be considered part of the magical operation. By sharing magical content, such as sigils, with a wide audience, the energy of the content can be amplified and interact with the algorithms and collective energy of social media platforms. This engagement with the online space can enhance the intended magical effects and resonate with others who view and interact with the content.
The Pitfalls of Love Magic
Love magic can be tricky and comes with pitfalls. Casting a love spell may lead to doubts about the authenticity of the person's feelings or concern about becoming dependent on continued magical intervention. It is important to be clear about what you truly desire and not just focus on manipulating someone's emotions. Additionally, targeting a specific individual with magic for love can have unpredictable results and bring unwanted consequences.
Strategic Framework for Magic
When practicing magic, it can be helpful to view reality as a machine with interconnected components. To achieve desired outcomes, it is essential to align intentions with the system and avoid conflicting force vectors. Rather than exerting direct opposition, create conditions for manifestation and introduce intentions in a way that harmonizes with other forces at play. Conservation of energy is key, and it is important to consider the big picture and long-term goals when formulating intentions. Ultimately, trust your own understanding of the system and listen to the machine of reality to guide your magical practice.
