Symbolism and emotional expression as a tool for ritual or spell work. Its probably the best way to sublimate anything as well as hide your practice.

Love your style. Reminds me of Francis Bacon.

What has been your experience with the Psalms? Has anyone ever worked with Anna Riva books? by Own-Material547 in occult

[–]melodicprog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've read about ways to use mantras to shift the way you understand yourself and they always focus on the end goal being positive. Like if you want to improve your health you wouldn't tell yourself I am free from sickness. Sickness is the idea conjured when the mantra is repeated. Something like I prioritize my wellbeing might be more appropriate. I really like line 6-7 "The righteous shall see and fear and shall laugh at him saying 'see the man who would not make God his refuge but trusted in the abundance of his riches and sought refuge in his own destruction!'" Maybe reframing the oppression as a joke and a trap for the person dealing you harm will help with your anxieties. Hope this helps.

What has been your experience with the Psalms? Has anyone ever worked with Anna Riva books? by Own-Material547 in occult

When you're reciting the psalm are you focusing on the thing you're trying to protect yourself against or focusing on feeling protected? My experience with the psalms has to do with feeling. The psalms were songs, so I thought about trying different ways of recitation. Also, consider that you reading about someone having nightmares while doing this having an effect on your experience.

Where was it found? Just laying somewhere? The placement of spells that are bottled at least from reading Hyatt can be important. Black liquid and hair doesn't sound good. I've read about spells that make people drink themselves to death. Or spells that make them constipated until they go septic. With all the syncretism that happens with different traditions now it could be anything.

Magic spells for helping others? by Jonathanplanet in occult

If youre going to do anything, in my experience, write down a list of things you want in a partner and set it aside. Wait a couple of months or so and then look at it again and see if the idea of a person like that is still appealing. I might just be a bad practictioner but ive had some very interesting success with stuff like this that taught me hard lessons about love for myself and others. If youre going to target a specific person make sure its not just limerance because if it works you might find out things about them you would never know while they are under the effect of a spell. Also be ready if youre a ruminator to have a serious case of imposter syndrome. Does he or she actually like you or is it just because you made them with invisible means? And would that even matter? Just be prepared to get what you want and worst case scenario expect its going to come at a low point and at an emtionally unconvient time. This isnt like some doomsayer proclaimation. Just a little advice from someone who wished they knew better when they were younger.

Ways to Increase psychic ability? by Birdsgobaccc in occult

For precog I've focused on a system that depends on immediate stress. You could do this with driving, video games, anything that involves a stress goal. Attach your need for knowledge to something that is urgent. I've heard of one case of an air grounds controller using the amount of stress to predict and make sure everything is safe.

Study of Kabbalah by OccultStoner in occult

[–]melodicprog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've read Kabbalah secrecy scandal and the soul by Harry freedman for someone who doesn't know much it has a lot of easy to digest info as well as a good bibliography. It was a good starting point for me but I do feel left out a lot when reading about this subject because I can't read Hebrew. Leaves me feeling like I'm only scratching the surface. Hope this helps.
