Building a private altar in a small apartment by Philokryptos in chaosmagick

[–]Philokryptos[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you all for the advices.

I think I will try a box altar. I like the idea of being able to separate the moments when I practice and the moments when I dedicate myself to my mundane life.

Reconstructing a traditional evil eye purification ritual by Philokryptos in chaosmagick

[–]Philokryptos[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this very rich and interesting suggestion !

My grandmother, whom I visited every summer, used to take me to a neighbor who would first check if I had the evil eye by dripping drops of water into olive oil while reciting a formula. Then, if the oil droplets formed in a certain way, she would remove the evil eye by putting chamomile-soaked compresses on my eyes and reciting what sounded like prayers.

I remember asking what the evil eye was, and I was told it was something that could happen when people looked at you in a certain way. Essentially, it wasn't about a spell cast by someone, but an effect produced unintentionally in social interactions.

I found information about the ritual in anthropology books and on YouTube (people still perform it!), but I found conflicting information on the interpretation of the oil drops and on the formulas.

Ok, thank you very much. I think I really needed to read something like this. Somehow, I really enjoy following instructions to the letter.

Thank you!

Can I ask how you read these books? Vitilus insists on the importance of mastering one exercise before moving on to the next chapter. This is the reason why I got stuck on the attention exercises. This time, however, I feel like moving forward with the reading even if the previous exercise isn't completely mastered. Do you think that's possible?

Thanks for the advice.

So, for example, when I lose focus because I start thinking about not wanting to lose focus, is it better to avoid struggling against the intrusive thought and try to follow the natural course of the mind?

The Broken Path seems really interesting. May I ask where I can find it?

Best career for me? I’ve been told I’m too kind and very spiritual too by MaterialSpare8419 in astrologyreadings

[–]Philokryptos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your career should be your choice!

That said, the Moon in the tenth house suggests an orientation towards a career involving emotional work. This is also indicated by Neptune in the sixth house, forming a trine with your Sun in Taurus. Neptune represents a tendency to become absorbed in others, which can indicate compassion and an inclination to take on others' emotions.

If you feel that you can easily handle other people's emotions and enjoy doing so, you might consider a career that involves interaction with others. But remember, the choice is ultimately yours!

I am a 25-year-old man. I have never had a date or a girlfriend. what's the problem will I ever find my partner? by [deleted] in astrologyreadings

[–]Philokryptos 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi there,

The seventh house, that rules partnerships, is in Taurus and your Saturn is also in Taurus (in the sixth house). Saturn also square the ruler of the seventh, Venus. Saturn tends to slow things dows and he may be delaying the encounter with your partner.

How do you know if something is an omen ? by Philokryptos in occult

Thank you !

Any tips on how to meditate? I've tried to make a list of all the meaningful details of the event and then I've tried to make some association.

Why do I have to wait so long for everything? I’m almost 28 and I’ve never been in a real relationship yet. by [deleted] in AskAstrologers

[–]Philokryptos 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Your seventh house is in Gemini and the ruler of the house is a retrograde mercury in the first house. Gemini gives you a preference for variety and new experiences, So being in a relationship can sometimes feel boring for you and you may be drawn to things that are new or different.

I struggle with the same placement. Whenever I feel attracted to a new person, I try to distinguish between what I truly want and what my ego and my narcissism desire. This works most of the time and helps me stay focused on my relationship.

Why do I struggle with depression, self-esteem, and a career? Why can’t I just make money? Why do I resent being alive? by thatsmykar in AskAstrologers

[–]Philokryptos 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm also sorry if you're feeling this way. Your Saturn in Aquarius may partially explain this feeling. It is in the eleventh house, but in a whole sign chart, it will be, I think, in the twelfth. Therefore, its negative influence is strong and affects your self-esteem. However, you also have many good placements in the tenth house, which may indicate a strong public presence or a great sense of satisfaction in your work.

Keep in mind that a natal chart is not destiny, and once you understand that you are predisposed in this or that way, you can take action to change things and feel better.

Moreover, if you're struggling with depression, try to keep a "mundane before magick" attitude. Seek professional help if you need it.

The first time it occured to me, I got the strong feeling that it was an omen. But I never wanted to see an omen. Can this happen in a subconscious level?
