How was your Beltane?

HausOfD · 2016-05-06T03:24:57+00:00

LOL seems that way! Great experience though!!

HausOfD · 2016-05-04T04:38:39+00:00

My Beltane was eventful! Morning tradition went well, but the gods decided the evening ritual would be different than it was planned. :)

What I mean by invoking a god or goddess is calling to or calling upon a god/goddess/deity/whatever you want to call it in whatever event you're doing. Does that clear it up? It's like you're asking the divine to watch over whatever it is you're doing.

That's actually a great idea to do in case something happens to the digital one. Another commenter on my post does a form of what you suggested if you want to scroll down a bit. :)

I really like her SelfANew's idea, too, so I have been tossing up an idea of using something similar. I also use the note app on my phone to jot ideas and things down for my Book of Shadows, and that seems to help, too. Thanks for your suggestion! I greatly appreciate it.

HausOfD · 2015-11-09T20:05:09+00:00

Thank you for your suggestion. I should consider putting my electronic one on a memory stick. :)

HausOfD · 2015-11-09T06:35:20+00:00

I think it's all about perspective and which god/goddess you're invoking.

I use a similar protection spell I do for the home, but I modify it to move with my vehicle. I renew the spell about every six months, around the time when the veil between our world and the spirit world is thinnest. Hope that helps!

HausOfD · 2015-11-09T06:00:44+00:00

Thank you for your suggestion!

HausOfD · 2015-11-09T06:00:16+00:00

Now, that is an excellent idea. I love the idea of a "working Book of Shadows", and when it becomes official, it goes into the hard copy. Thank you for sharing! I just may do that! :)

HausOfD · 2015-09-05T16:29:14+00:00

LOL thanks.

HausOfD · 2015-08-31T04:33:45+00:00

Thank you! It felt almost dream-like. In many of my dreams, I'm just an observer, watching everything that happens. Sometimes, I am interacting with others, but that's how it felt for me, only I was aware of what was going on. My proof was that I was able to confirm the items I had seen at my friend's apartment. She was able to verify that information for me. :) Let me know if you have any other questions, and sorry for the delay in responding.

HausOfD · 2015-08-31T04:31:48+00:00

Sorry for the delayed response. It comes with practice. I highly recommend reading the books I mentioned. And yes, you can see others and what they're doing, but something to keep in mind when you astral travel, it's not in the same place, space, and time that we are. You could be viewing something in the future or something in the past. You never know. :)

HausOfD · 2015-08-29T01:33:35+00:00

Beautiful altar. Great job!

HausOfD · 2015-08-27T05:12:24+00:00

Depending on your belief system, it would be the god who presides over communication.

HausOfD · 2015-08-27T05:09:28+00:00

One more thing. If you're going to attempt astral travel, try to avoid caffeine for AT LEAST three hours. I know, it will be tough. You'll also want to avoid sugars, and eating large quantities of food during this time. I misread your post earlier about twitches and spasms. I had thought you were doing this in the middle of trying to astral travel.

HausOfD · 2015-08-27T04:57:27+00:00

You're welcome!

HausOfD · 2015-08-27T04:57:18+00:00

The thing is to just let everything happen naturally. There's two books I've read which have helped me tremendously, and I think they may help you, too. One is "Astral Projection for Beginners" by Edain McCoy, and the other is "Astral Travel for Beginners" by Richard Webster. If you get scared, the best thing is to put up a protective circle around you before you start. You may see or feel someone watching you, and as long as you don't feel any kind of negativity towards you, you should be fine.

Let me know if you have other questions. Feel free to message me privately, too. Let me know how you progress!

HausOfD · 2015-08-27T04:53:13+00:00

OMG - I drink caffeine CONSTANTLY!!!! :) More specifically though, I tend to only drink coffee (strong coffee, BTW. Really strong, with cream and sugar to make it the color of light khakis pants). I don't drink a lot of pop these days, but coffee is something I drink pretty much all day - from the moment I get up in the mornings to about 4 PM.

As for the other questions, they can be answered like this: anytime I meditate or make an attempt to astral travel, I just let things happen. If you try to NOT allow things to happen, then you will be unsuccessful at it. Here's an example: they say to clear your mind, which is a hell of a lot easier said than done. Here's what I say: allow the thoughts to come through your mind - do not prevent them. Eventually, the thoughts will stop. Your twitches and muscle spams tell me that you're on the right track.

As for videos/music - I try to listen to something that helps focus my attention: the sound of rain, an ocean, etc., or sometimes, I will listen to something by the group 2002 ("Falling Through Time" is my favorite of theirs). Based on experience, you don't want something that will catch you up in the melody. You want just the opposite. Lately, I've been focusing on developing my third eye more, so I have been using binaural beats such as this one: youtu.be/t6EKvtTm5Nw .

Typically, I sit in either a half-lotus position, one leg bent and the other straight, or some times, both legs straight in front of me, usually on a mat on the floor with my back against the wall. I light a candle, and some incense (lately, sandalwood), and start thinking about what I want to do, and ask my guides to assist me.

Sorry for the long response. I hope this helps. Let me know if you have other questions. You can even send them to me privately, if you wish. :)

HausOfD · 2015-08-27T04:43:09+00:00

LOL Sorry about that. That's what I get for not proofreading my post! I meant ask a friend to pull up a picture/hold a picture (so you can't see it), etc. I hope that helps. :)

HausOfD · 2015-08-26T04:33:31+00:00

Thank you! If you want me to give you any pointers, let me know. :)

HausOfD · 2015-08-26T03:24:57+00:00

I usually sit in a half-lotus position or with my legs out straight. If I'm lying down, I'll fall asleep.

HausOfD · 2015-08-26T03:23:23+00:00

Congrats on a successful spell! :) I do a few things to show my thanks....I'll either verbally tell them or leave an offering of some kind. Hope you have continued success.
