Ave, ladies and gents.

Now that I've had the time, the Commodities & Oddities portion of my site has been revamped, plenty of new charms have been added, and it, in my humble opinion, looks SEXY.  There are "Buy Now" buttons for each of the charms and talismans posted, and they are each available for sale immediately.

I've posted 8 talismans to be used for various functions, and 1 of each is available for sale at this time.  Here are some pictures to serve as a "sneak peek"....

This is a peek of what's to come if these talismans are well-received.  Each of the prices include shipping inside the USA.  If you're from outside of the US, contact me and we'll figure out how much it'll run me to ship to you.

Thanks for looking!

Greetings, ladies and gents.

Its been a bit since I last posted, as I've been plenty busy with client work and the like, so I thought I'd post an interesting bit that doesn't get spoken on much.  The topic at hand is that of barrier magic: what it entails, how to use it, and the whys and wherefores.

Barrier magic is, in a phrase, preemptive banishing.  That means its put in place to keep things that mean you harm from showing up to begin with.  Its something that shows up in every magical culture that I know of at the time of writing this, and really can't be overvalued (though its frequently dismissed and undervalued).

Barrier magic is useful because of the fact that it prevents most of the things one would be forced to deal with from showing up in [X] area.  While we tend to carry the related charms on us in the forms of protective amulets and talismans, this form of protection generally is specifically-related to one's abode, place of work, and so on.  The closest thing one can really get to mobile barriers, in this sense, is in one's car, so bear this in mind when coming up with ideas on how to enact the methodologies herein.

In ancient times, one such related practice was the erection and use of something called an omphalos, or barrier stone.  Traditionally, the word translates to "navel", but I tend to look at this through different eyes: the word breaks down into "Om" and "Phalos", the latter of which is remarkably similar to the term "Phallus", interestingly.  In various Eastern religions, the term "Om" has a great deal to do with the creation of something, and the phallus serves as a masculine boundary in many ways.  Lingams, as a phenomenal example, are used in protection and healing rites.  Keeping this in mind, one can reasonably assert that creating a phallus, in this context, speaks to the creation of a boundary.

Incidentally, the omphalos also demarcated points of spiritual interest, so the use as both a boundary stone and journeying stone is quite established and useful, though a topic for another post.

This is, however, only one example of a magical or spiritual boundary; we see the same ideas amongst the Pennsylvania Dutch (Hex Signs), the Finns (similar to the PD Hex Signs), the Norse (Aegishjalmur, rune staves), the Japanese (Torii), and so on.

We can, as one might imagine, use similar signs in today's world, so I thought I would share some of my own methods. The symbols, ways of showing/hiding the symbols, the methods of erection, and so on and so forth are really endless. You can inscribe these sigils on the astral with incense or another magical tool, woodburn them into a charm (feel free to contact me if you'd like this done), carve them directly into the wall, bury an object with the sigil on it in a planter, nail it to the door frame, and so on and so forth.  Its a very flexible method of magic, and that's a good thing, as you may or may not want to advertise that an area is off-limits to one thing or another.

Above, you've seen four different sigils that can be used to create protective barriers over a place.  There are literally hundreds of different symbols and methods one can use, so I hope this motivates you to work with these and create your own.

Enjoy!

Greetings, ladies and gents.

To those of you who celebrate Thanksgiving, I'd like to wish you a warm and enjoyable holiday spent with family and friends.  To those of you who do not celebrate it, have a blessed day nonetheless.

That said, since I do, in my own way, celebrate Thanksgiving, I'd like to present an offer to you folks: blessings at a severely discounted rate.  Typically, I ask for 50$ per person for a blessing rite to be done, but for today (11/22/2012) only, I will be offering them for 15$ apiece.

If you'd like to have this done for you, simply click the "Buy Now" PayPal link below, enter your information, and then send payment my way.  I will do the work and respond to you to indicate that the deed is done.

My hope, in doing this, is to make the lives of those participants better, as it would seem that we're in for a rocky set of holidays.

Blessings and warm regards,

SE

EDITED 11/22: Removed the "Buy Now" link, as this discount has run its course.

Greetings, ladies and gents.

To all of you who contributed and involved yourselves in the Group Work I've been yammering on about over the past several days, the Work has been completed and I am currently riding a crazy energy high.  Each of you should begin experiencing some changes in your lives over the next couple of weeks, so please do contact me with updates on things happening around you.

For those who are curious, I took some pictures of the setup I used as well.

The first two pictures, above, show the eggshell powder crossroads I created, and then depicts the seal being placed on top of the crossroads.  Its a magical axiom and tool I've come to respect greatly, as I find that one can create a crossroads wherever they reside, and then pull things through it.  As a result, I use it for conjuring when I am not able or willing to leave my home.

This third picture, however, is so much more interesting.  If you look closely, its pretty clear to see that there are orbs forming all over the cutting board.  There's one to the right, clearly displayed (below the wooden polyhedron container), and several other flashes and whatnot that are showing up on the board itself.

I didn't notice this until after the Work was done, as what you see above was purely the prep work. :)

In any case, this should be interesting.

Regards,

Chris

Ave friends.

We're fast approaching Wednesday the 21st, so I thought I'd provide you folks with another update on where we stand.

At this moment, we've got 39 people signed up for the Work to be started on the aforementioned date.  Tomorrow will be the last day upon which sign ups will be allowed, so if you've got any last requests or entries, sign them up now.

As you can see from the picture above, I've already gotten some good stuff going for everyone involved here. This is only part of what's left to come if all goes well.

Regards,

Greetings folks.

I hope this post finds you well.

In an effort to greater-assist old and new clients around the globe, I am now offering Skype consultations to individuals in and outside of the USA.  The cost has been lowered to 15$/30 minutes.

During that time, we can discuss your case, you can get to know me, I can get to know you, and we can come up with a plan.  If magical advice or divination is in order over the phone, we can do so, though additional costs will be discussed and rendered as appropriate.

Provided I have open time slots, I will be accepting calls between 7am and 3pm PST Monday through Friday, arranged ahead of time.  If you must speak to me during an alternate time slot, we may be able to arrange a time to speak.

That's all I've got for you right now, so enjoy, and have a great day!

Regards,

Greetings, ladies and gents.

I've got some exciting (to me) news to convey: I am, as of this date, going to be doing magical work full-time for a while. If this works out, it'll probably be permanent, as I rather enjoy the Work.

That being the case, if you're in need of dedicated assistance, please let me know.  During the holiday, when possible, I will avail myself to attend your needs and wants.

With that said, thank you for reading this blog, for your continued trust, and your continued support.

Blessings!

Greetings, ladies and gents.

With the first week of the preparation for the Work coming to an end, I thought I'd post an update on where we stand, the number of people involved, any actions needed on your part, etc. for the sake of clarity and communication.

As it stands, we've got 33 folks signed up, and sign-ups have been coming to a stand still.  This isn't quite the turn out I was hoping for, so with that being the case, the work will be potent, just not as much as intended.  That being the case, I will make some slight adjustments to ensure that this gets plugged in at a "higher level" of spiritual activity; doing so will certainly help to make this Work manifest at a faster rate.  With that said, sign more folks up!  Keep them coming, even if you're just signing up family members. I know that this blog receives hundreds of unique visitors in a given day, so to you folks who are on the fence, there is no way you'd not benefit, on some level, from this.  So sign up! :D

With that, I'm getting pumped up, and I've woodburned the seal to be used during the Work.

The above wodburning is the completed Seal to be used during the working on Wednesday, and its already abuzz with energy, as I'm sure you an feel from the picture.

I've been getting emails asking what the "rules and requirements" are of this Work, so I thought I'd talk briefly about it.  Really, you don't need to do a damned thing if you don't want to...aside from signing up, anyway.  If you aren't signed up, you won't be included...that part of things is pretty simple. However, with that conveyed, you can do some stuff to allow the Work to take hold.

The easiest way for you to do this, if you are magically-inclined, would be to invoke the essence of the Work using the picture above.  If that is not something you're able to do, just meditate upon the picture.

Otherwise, any questions, ask them here or on one of the other threads about this, and I'll respond.

Greetings, ladies and gents.

As many of you are aware, I am currently gearing up for a massive undertaking: a group working to bless all who sign up.  That being the case, I thought I'd provide an update: we are currently 32 folks strong, and the number seems to be ever-increasing.  

Ave dear readers.

We've come full circle, 'round to the final day of the list of Planetary Keys. Now that each of these have landed and been posted, those of you who've been following along have been provided with the means necessary to really shake things up in your life and turn things around where necessary.  All it takes is the will to do so and the desire to experiment, so with that in mind, I've taken this a step further for your benefit.

After repeated urges from some of those I consider to be close friends, I have decided to write and self-publish an eBook on the topic of Planetary Magic; its title is "Planetary Magic: Utilizing the Keys".  It weaves together information on the utilization of the powers of each of the spheres, as well as provides greater information on how to utilize the Keys offered here over the past week.  Furthermore, it provides three new Keys that are not detailed publicly, drawing this meta-system and framework together so that it can be used effectively, regardless of faith or lack thereof. It is simple, but powerful, and contains some of the knowledge I've gathered over the years.

It will only be available here on my website, and if this particular project is successful and demand for more detailed information is high, I may undertake a project of writing more detailed books on the subject of each of the individual planets, delving further into their uses.

If you should feel inclined to purchase this, you can do so here, by clicking on the "Buy Now" button below, or under the eBooks by SE section here on Sorcerous Endeavors.  The cost for this eBook is 15$ even. :)

Thank you for reading, and thank you for your continued support.
