Fool's Guide to the Occult

Hector, an expert in spiritual practices and cleansing rituals, shares insights on breaking negative energy ties with a 3-day deep cleansing bath ritual. He delves into the fascinating world of biblically accurate angels, contrasting their true forms with popular culture. As he wraps up, Hector announces his ongoing projects, including his soon-to-be-revised text "Primer" and updates for his digital grimoire on Patreon. His passion for melding art and magick continues through his Etsy shop, where he offers unique handmade items.

Hector, channeling Charon, takes you on a journey down the river sticks to discuss how we can all begin working with our ancestors. He will discuss types of ancestors you can work with, offerings, altar considerations, and a simple ceremony to welcome your ancestors into your life.  ---- If you are looking for some other fun stuff, check out my online shop at etsy.com/shop/magicknmetal where you can find troves of handmade leather and metal goods, radical patches, occult curios, and art.

Episode Description: In this long overdo episode of FG2TO, I cover a topic I had been teasing since the middle of season 1 - Invocation! We will discuss this in the context of a few different traditions while also covering the importance of protection, banishing, and similar work. Remember, this is not the type of thing to play around with, nor is it something that should be attempted by a novice practitioner. Please use the information you find here wisely.  ----- Thank you for listening to Fool's Guide to the Occult!
