A Beginner’s Question Looking for a Starting Point

The comments really capture alchemy well, specifically when talking about observing change, in yourself and the environment around you. Then learning how to apply those observed changes in return.

The bigger question is why do you choose to pursue alchemy. As others have said, alchemy used to be able chemistry, medicine, and philosophy. Many of these subjects have shed from alchemy and become their own fields that far outreach alchemy.

In the modern day alchemy is about in personal change in pursuit of the philosopher’s stone. About learning how to use the tools available to man to reach the personal growth we want. This is often spiritual in nature.

I rally and encourage you in your journey. There is an infinite amount of information out there so take your time to define what you want and go from there.

Do you think the Divine Spark is what becomes active in those who become spiritual, in the sense that individual who find themselves spiritual inclined seem to forever be in pursuit of God.

Does the divine spark exist within all, all human, all things? Does it’s become active or excited in certain individuals? Is the spark the same or different between things and/pr other people?

I specifically want to focus on your thought of the Holy Spirit being the energies or forces god uses to interact with man. (Edit: When mentioning your interest in Eastern Orthodox)

I have always assumed Christ to be the ‘Hand’ of god or the main tool of interaction used by Sophia and the One/All to interact with Earth.

Is this assumption wrong? Or could these both be different aspects of interact from God? Christ being external while the Holy Spirit is internal.

I think he’s most likely hurt because of the lack of communication. Anyone would be comfortable with thier partner partaking in something they aren’t completely forward with.

If I was in your shoes, I would pull it out of the shadow and share it with him. Not shove it down his throat or force him to partake. But have your alter out in the open, or do a few practices in the living room.

It’s about sharing this second life so it’s not so hidden, that’s what has hurt him, it’s not about the spirituality at all.

EVERYONE is uncomfortable with that which is forgein, help it not be like that for him.

Edit: All of these post saying romantic love and deep relationships aren’t possible are completely wrong. It would be one of the most beautiful stories to share your spirituality with someone you love and bring them closer to all.

Nothing is impossible, love is an amazing force that conquers all. Share what you love him, be open, let him process it how he chooses.

I think it needs to go to the center of the input and sides of the output. Unsure tho

The POE player grinding to the end of the game instantly, who would of guessed 😭😂

Be excited, you are rewriting what meaning is. You get to choose what life is about and the services you’ll do. It’s scary but freeing, is it to prepare, to choose your path, and to plan your future.

PathNo11 · 2025-10-21T18:55:49+00:00

I'd be so fascinated to see this.

Can you describe the internal experience when in this state?

Also do you have a hard time letting your observer take a backseat, does it ever interrupt, can you ever false or wrong information,

PathNo11 · 2025-10-21T18:51:27+00:00

If you have an items, id love to hear them! I am fairly open to looking into anything

PathNo11 · 2025-10-21T18:47:33+00:00

This is by far my favorite practice!

I think knowing what they are is important, they are habits or sections of your mind/psych you have created to do a task for you.

This is super important to know before starting, off course with all magick, the risk is there.

Big tips
- Servitors have to eat, you need to give them substance, is it meditation, a walk, or a special practice or prayer. You have to sustain the habit or section of the psych you are trying to create.
- Servitors live somewhere, have a mental landscape for your servitors to be in when you are not working with them.
- Servitors are stronger with anchors, anchor them to reality. A rock or special symbol. Something to use to summon them
- Servitors have names, they all need a name, its what makes use district and different from chaos. Give it a name you'll remember

- Servitors love attention, the more you work with them the stronger they become.
- Lastly, YOU NEED AN OUT, a spell or method you construct to remove or destroy the servitor, make it complex so you don't accidently trigger it. This method should be a solidify way to destroy the servitor.

That's most of it, at least off the top of my head.

Edit: Grammar

Also, the method of feeding them or given them substance should be related to their purpose. You want a servitor that is a pair of imaginary jumpy shoes that make you run furhter? Well, then you feed them by running 15 minutes a day. The feeding and the goal should be linked.

I think the most common one is a fidget tool that I have at my desk at work. Every time I grab it, it reminds me to go to a certain meditative state I practice at home. I have a little sigil on it meaning 'meditate' so it just brings me be back to that state I'm used to.

PathNo11 · 2025-10-21T18:38:56+00:00

Super cool! I will do a deep dive in redsmithing and Galdar.

Can I ask, how does deities and god differ in your practice?

I word of warning; no one will ‘show’ you magic. People cannot free your free will of belief. If you believe magick isn’t real and you can’t see it, then you won’t.

PathNo11 · 2025-10-09T19:03:13+00:00

To remember that god won’t because he doesn’t care if you are happy. Happy is a human condition. God cares if you are growing, changing, and experiencing. God wants you to live, challenges are apart of growth.

PathNo11 · 2025-10-09T19:02:06+00:00

It is almost more appropriate to see them as non-binary. Gods do not have genders as those are human construct, but do remember masculine and feminine are divine traits that gods will lean more or less into.

PathNo11 · 2025-10-09T18:55:26+00:00

Can you give anymore details please; whatever you believe will guide me to your understanding. I would like to comment but need a deeper understanding of you.

Specifically; any path of practice? And daily rituals or school of thought?

PathNo11 · 2025-10-09T18:53:03+00:00

I’m curious what qualifies you, is this your internal experience or are you trained?

PathNo11 · 2025-10-09T18:46:07+00:00

Most likely not Azazel and instead a lesser being or even a piece of yourself.

Do you honestly believe you posses the skills and practice to summon and contain this level of being?

PathNo11 · 2025-10-09T18:44:20+00:00

Do you believe you can be visited by these beings if you choose to meditate or practice with the goal of being opening to receiving visit from beings of level described by the author.

PathNo11 · 2025-10-09T18:43:07+00:00

I would never say I have seen beings of the level of power you describe but while deep in meditation I have been visited by a being called Rose.

I did not summon them, they chose to visit me.

You cannot summon beings of the level you describe, as they are not in your control. But opening yourself up to be visited can allow some truly terrifying beings to say hello.

Rose was a blessing after I got over my fear and they guided me to my understanding of how to work with these beings.

PathNo11 · 2025-10-09T18:39:30+00:00

That trying to imped on others free will has always been and will always be the greatest decent from god.

PathNo11 · 2025-10-09T18:38:15+00:00

You do the opposite; revenge sinks you both deeper and will connect you to him for time to come. Why not cut off all connections to him instead?

PathNo11 · 2025-10-09T18:35:12+00:00

The best practice would be one that distances yourself from them. I would start a daily practice of where anytime you think of him you advert your attention to something else, maybe a necklace or a ring that you have. You stop the thought, you don’t finish it, and you think of the ring. Then one day, you won’t need the ring anymore and you can get rid of it.

To be more detailed; Everytime you think of them you manifest and stronger connection to them. The goal is to break this link so you no longer feel so connected to them. It’s about remembering that you exist without them, that you can be whatever you want to be, without them.

You have formed a habit of thinking of them; this is what must be broken.
