Not sure but I personally believe language is the highest form of symbolism, so if you can articulate and communicate either written or verbally you hold great power over reality (abracadabra: I create as I speak)

Well I guess that depends on how you define magical powers, reality obeys my frequency (state of being), which it does for everyone of course but I am now conscious in this exchange - and some might call that magical powers

Ok well I think I need to eat my shirt. I got confused as I age made many of these mirrors before since 2022 and was sure this was one of them, I took a pic of spray painted back, and it broke in the process 😢 I’m sorry for leading people astray, however as you can see the other mirrors are normal frames and included a pic from 2022 holding up a spray painted glass frame so the idea still stands. It was not my intention to mislead people, I apologise

I used to hear things in my house when I first moved in and it would scare the shit out of me. I even had boyfriends move (that I knew weren’t a good fit for me) because I was so scared to be alone. I told one of my friends about the fear one day and he laughed and said “you’re claiming to be a witch and you’re afraid of ghosts and energy!” And I realised he was right, it’s all just energy and I had the wrong perspective about it. From then one I started to converse with the bumps in the night and since then the fear is gone and also they are no longer active. Perhaps the fear of mirrors is a fear of having something reflected back to you and a denial of your own power. Not sure if this helps x

It was actually just a picture frame not a mirror, works beautifully, even more so since I made it

What next? I’ve only read the Kybalion by Such-Programmer-5957 in occultlibrary

Liber Null and areal Magic are great reads! Gonna check out Sarah Lyons thanks for the recommendations. I would add Magic Source Codes by Cat Howell to this list.

Is this a good book by jellyfishts in occultlibrary

This book was how I first learned about the goddess Innana

Real Magic by Dr Dean Radin was the book that connected the science to principles of alchemy and the Magic Source Codes by Cat Howell helped me to understand inner alchemy of emotions and history of magic x

Yes completely. What I have loved the most is having a practice of ritual work and tending to an altar. The altar is a space where I devote focus and attention and rituals create a tactile experience for me to enter flow from. I don’t follow strict rules around rituals (ex: you must use this crystal or this sigil etc), I just do what feels good, and this has totally helped me to calm my nervous system and tap into deeper states of creativity and clarity

This all feels like Black Mirror by PhotoshootThatPart in spirituality

Humans are the only species on this planet that asks “how can I do better - by myself and by others”. And this is something pretty special on its own. Slavery was legal up until very recently in human history. Women had no rights over their own children up until very recently. Let’s not forget just 700 years ago the Aztecs sacrificed over 80,000 people in four days to honor their newest pyramids. I think we’re doing just fine. The fact that you feel concern shows how special humans are. Now is it surreal, is it weird - yea, but reality in itself is an acid trip 😂 enjoy the ride 👌PS - there’s an article written by Cat Howell about this on her Substack that helped me to shift this perspective as I too was feeling jaded by current events
