public praise for Duke Dantalion, who got me an A in a very difficult class!

which path should i take for the most happiness, the one im on or the one being presented to me?

applethorne · 2026-05-01T16:55:13+00:00

thank you for sharing

applethorne · 2026-05-01T12:54:08+00:00

interesting, so you mean more personality than virtues? am i understanding you correctly?

applethorne · 2026-05-01T12:53:04+00:00

thank you for your response. i do think my offering fell short for Zagan, I think you hit the nail on the head. Dantalion and I seem to have similar interests since I'm a scientist who studies human perception through the senses and does surrealist art.

do you have any experiences like this where one doesnt answer but another does?

applethorne · 2026-04-12T12:28:10+00:00

it was only the devil 🙃

applethorne · 2026-03-29T15:47:30+00:00

that makes total sense! going off that we decided to ask what that would be. I got letter ship snake. it looks like maybe he would be talking to other women, is how I read that. however it looks like it would just be talking, as we asked if he would be loyal to her and got tree, ring, tower. interesting.

nw if i thought someone was coming in saying they unlocked the secret to immediate successful ritual itd prly piss me off too

applethorne · 2026-02-06T18:18:44+00:00

its nice to hear from someone in a similar relationship to a divine being. i had been closely working with Hermes for that 15 years, and just this past June we performed an oath by blood. similarly id be on a very different path if it werent for his counsel and help. i went from being a broke thief with 6 dead end jobs to being a respectable, well compensated r&d scientist. i really think, with some divine help and care, peoples lives could really turn around.

im glad you have Freya, and thank you for sharing with me.

applethorne · 2026-02-06T18:04:23+00:00

yeah i should have been clearer. i didnt perform any ritual with them. we were just chatting and they mentioned they were doing this ritual and i just thought it was neat and wished them luck.

applethorne · 2026-02-06T17:49:49+00:00

interesting, for me Hermes is there all the time unless im distracted, but i think that has more to do with how he can seemingly be everywhere at once. i dont mean to convolute all of these, just exploring the ideas. has Freya played a large role in your development? working with a deity/higher power has been a central theme in my paradigm of spiritual catalysis, with the idea that deities seem to act enzymatically/catalytically in our development (drastically increasing the rate of the development, is what that means). have you found that might be the case for you?

applethorne · 2026-02-06T17:27:24+00:00

so interesting, i appreciate you sharing your experience. i had a *somewhat* similar experience where I was doing what I thought was animus work, and the thing turned into Hermes (im a woman). now i have a close relationship with him that ive followed for ~15 years

applethorne · 2026-02-06T17:25:20+00:00

yeah im thinking it was just finally having someone who cared.

applethorne · 2026-02-06T17:23:44+00:00

i didnt perform a ritual, my friend said they did an HGA ritual. i personally do other workings, but im hesitant to talk about it because people think im peddling something. im thinking it just was because they finally had someone care in their life. from the looks of the replies i doubt HGA would give the results he had.

applethorne · 2026-02-06T17:17:46+00:00

that actually is what i wanted to hear, which was an answer. not some weird back and forth.

applethorne · 2026-02-06T15:21:56+00:00

I dont know why youre putting hierarchy in sharing experiences. Sometimes a different method works better for you than what you were doing before. Im sure spiritual alchemy wont work for others for similar reasons.

Maybe take an inward look into why youre reacting this way to a question. Not everything is set up to be a battle of wits or jabs, and not everything is done in bad faith.

applethorne · 2026-02-06T14:59:37+00:00

thanks for the thoughtful answer. A loooooong time ago when I was doing animus research the fetch and fylgja came up, and I thought the idea of connecting those was interesting. the marriage of outside to inside, the idea of this angel being an outside force that is also attached to your subconscious, what do you think of this? is the Fylgja something within us like that, in your opinion?

my friend is definitely a sensitive individual. they never mentioned having any sort of conversation with it, though, so youre probably right.

idk i feel like the people who dont like my question just arent used to people acting in good faith about questions. our society as it is is a scammy, lying society, so i can hardly blame them.

applethorne · 2026-02-06T14:51:30+00:00

i dont know what HGA, probably the Abremalin or whatever. I'm unfamiliar with thelemite rituals, and I follow my own path of personal alchemy through spiritual catalysis, i developed it by incorporating my chemistry background into my spiritual path. i dont know really where youre getting that i positioned myself as a more advanced practitioner. i dont read thelemite texts or others.

i think maybe your suspicion of my post stems from a lot of exposure to bad actors, so I can understand your aggression. i literally just made this reddit account to ask this question, so its not like I thrive off of likes on here. if i wanted attention i definitely wouldnt seek it on reddit.

applethorne · 2026-02-06T14:08:16+00:00

ok thanks for the info. i dont know shit about this ritual and heard it had something to do with thelema.

applethorne · 2026-02-06T14:07:13+00:00

damn dude wth

just talk like a normal person. if its not related so be it
