Magic as a Means of Developing the Intellect

10/4/2018

0 Comments

 
Hail and welcome, folks. Lovely to have you here. As a tertiary result of the multitude of evocations I've been performing of late, I have been moved to communicate an idea through this page, and I hope it catches on. In short, I'm here to talk about the mark of a magician as it applies to one's intellect. 

In the Lemegeton/Ars Goetia, there are a number of spirits who are known to "make men wise" or "teach astronomy and liberal philosophy" or otherwise educate us fleshy persons on matters of higher thought. Despite their prevalence, this concept is largely glossed over, often to the point where no mention is made of just how incredibly beneficial this can be.

My own observations have generally indicated that folks want to obtain the result they desire but don't really want to educate themselves around the object of their affections. As a result, spirits like Jazar (educated in matters of love), Marax (teaches astronomy, liberal sciences, the virtues of plants and minerals), Marbas (educates us on hidden things, makes men wise in medicine, and assists in "changing the shape of man") and so forth are largely ignored, their virtues cast aside as being paltry and pointless. 

This is a viewpoint that I stand in opposition to, as I rather believe that the mark of a mage is, in part, their intellect and understanding. I've been conjuring, working alongside, and conversing with spirits for essentially as long as I can remember, and for that they've made me wise. I won't profess to be the foremost scientific authority on interstellar phenomenon or a theoretical maths genius, but these interactions have caused me to see and understand the world differently. 

How could they not? Your average human being isn't all that inclined to talk to noncorporeal beings of massive force and intellect beyond  the scope of humanity despite their lack of manifest form. The thought is, to most, rather terrifying, but for those of us who dare to do so, I would posit that we should well seek out these alternative educations. 

Sure, these learnings won't miraculously end with a doctorate in medicine, but you could well go on to such achievements with the appropriate help. Even if you're simply content to learn as much as possible without the associated degrees, it's entirely possible to apply that knowledge in satisfying ways that also benefit your career immensely. 

Case in point, when I was working in Information Technology, I started out as a lowly peon. I had plenty of opportunities to assist folks in a hands-on fashion, remedying everything from forgotten passwords to applications and systems troubleshooting. It was satisfying to be so helpful, but it wasn't challenging, so when an opportunity arose for career advancement, I took it and landed myself in a specialized field wherein I was a complete novice. 

As with all promotions, you sink or you swim, so I leveraged my past experience with the application class I was expected to manage and my skill at conjuring spirits to learn how to do my newfound job more effectively (in addition, of course, to studying textbooks and guides on the subject matter). In so doing, I received the respect of of my peers and, more than that, I'd impressed my boss' higher-ups and was offered a 30% raise roughly six months in, and then yet another at a year. 

I should stress, too, that during that time I did not spend much time enchanting for a raise. Instead, I focused on performing my function as effectively as I could & worked to earn the respect of those I worked with. Raises and accolades came as a result, but I was far more concerned with ensuring that I could learn how to perform such an incredibly complicated job with success. I did so with a good deal of aplomb, too, and even had moments where spirits would walk me to the answer I sought when puzzling over a difficult problem at work. 

As a result, I was often able to find solutions to troubles that others were unable to solve. And when I couldn't do that on my own, I would enchant to work more effectively with my team so that we could solve the trouble & receive praise as a group. 

You see, this doesn't seem like a hugely Important thing at first glance, but if you're willing to apply some cleverness, you can do great things with your life and reshape it. You might not be able to return to school to do something different with your life, but if you work with a spirit like Sitri to learn what designs and room flows are aesthetically and emotionally pleasing, you could well become an interior designer as a result.

This is only one such example of how best these spiritual assistants might be applied. While it might not seem quite as powerful or poignant an application at first, the transformative impact can be impressive. I urge you to apply this in your day-to-day life and see how things evolve. ;)

Blessings,

Goetic Mojo Hands

Evening folks.

I've worked with spirits out of the Lemegeton on and off for many, many years. I've not spoke much on the subject herein, as it stands, but as a result of some very heavy work I've been doing, I felt it appropriate to test the waters with some new wares to be provided on a first come, first served basis.

It's come to my attention that folks are looking for ways to involve these spirits in their lives in a low-maintenance sort of way to attract love, lust, better business opportunities, divinatory prowess, and so on and so forth into their lives through the agencies of spirits who might not be overly concerned with the how and why of a goal.  In essence, people are looking for spirits that achieve a goal quickly and unceremoniously. These wrathful (which is to say "aggressive") hands fit the bill perfectly.

As a result, I have decided to offer, in short supply, Goetic mojo hands to those select few who would be interested in such an opportunity.  I have, at the present, the materials necessary to create six of these charms.

The goals associated with them will be as follows, and only one of each will be made at this time:
  1. Money - Bune - Sold
  2. Lust - Asmodeus - Sold
  3. Divinatory Prowess - Marbas
  4. Protection - Andromalius
  5. Luck - Vassago - Sold
  6. Obstacle Removal - Samigin - SPF

Each customer will be limited to one mojo bag, and I would request that you update me with your successes along the way.

These will be available at the price of 75$ each, plus shipping.  I am more than willing to ship these to folks outside of the Continental United States, but know that once the bag leaves my hands, I cannot be held responsible for its safe arrival given customs in other countries.  Be sure that these are legal for you to own in your area and that you are of legal age.

If you're interested, Contact Me so I can calculate shipping charges for you and then we'll go from there.

Warm regards,

SE

Pacts & Their Importance

Greetings, ladies and gentlemen.

The topic of this post is pacts & their importance, as I've been receiving a great number of communications on the subject recently. Its a greatly misunderstood practice, so I hope that by discussing it here, people will begin to understand some of the mechanics inherent in the process.

What are pacts?

Pacts are a "spiritual technology" which bind one to a spirit, in a matter of speaking.  The spirit gives the human something, and the human gives the spirit something in return.  Its an exchange of energy which should be equal on both ends.

They come in the forms of promises, oaths, bargains, deals, ultimatums, and so forth.  Even an act as simple as "God, save me from this crisis and I'll do [X]" is a pact, albeit a hasty one done without a great deal of thought.

What purpose does a pact serve?

Pacts serve as communal building blocks, in a number of ways, and can be used to deepen your connection with a spirit via physical means and actions.  They, in a very literal way, are meant to improve your life AND the spirit's life, as they are unique and have needs and wants just like we do.

What can I get from a pact?

You can get most things from a pact, provided they're realistic.  You can ask for assistance getting a job, getting a raise at a job you already have, being given part of inheritance, getting a girl, getting a boy, getting a dog, getting a cat, and so on and so forth.


The trick is that the thing you are bargaining for must be in the realm of possibility and within the power of the spirit. If either of those requirements are not met, you will either have a one-sided pact on your hands or nothing (good) will happen.  Ineloquently wrought pacts are, very literally, dangerous, but I'll discuss that in a few minutes.

What do I have to give when making a pact?

Anything that is of use to a spirit can be given in a pact, so long as it is something you have the right to give.  If you are to give it, you must own it.  Giving up another person's life, for example, is generally an issue.

<<<If the spirit is willing to take that as part of the bargain, BEWARE!>>>
Spirits that are willing to take such a bargain know more than you do about a situation and will use it against you at a later date (don't ask me how I know this...).

Generally, a spirit's not going to be all that interested in your soul, however.  Instead, offerings of incense, sexual energy, light, darkness (a bit trickier), food, drink, or other tangible forms of energy that are important to you are enough to win their interest.  Blood is something that can be given, though to do so as an offering can be more than a little hinky, so do so cautiously.

Even actions, such as donating money to a charity named after the spirit or one that has a purpose similar to the spirit's function can be powerful motivators.

How do I make a pact?

In a word, carefully.

Before you start looking into making a pact with someone or something, divine, divine, divine.  You need to first find out if the spirit'll be willing to work with you, if the thing you're going to ask for is within their power, what it'll cost you to get it, and whether or not the spirit is going to play games with you and try to screw you with the pact.

So firstly, do recon and figure out the specifics.

Secondly, you have to formulate the language and verbiage of the pact. A language that is not your own is great for starting and sealing a pact, but a terrible thing to use when actually creating and executing one.  Its a pretty sure bet that the spirit'll understand a foreign language better than you do.  The words you use in creating the pact must be specific, direct, and limiting.  Do not leave anything you should have control of up to the spirit, and do not, under any circumstances, leave what you're to do for the spirit out of the pact.

The more specific you are, the better, for reasons I'll get to in a moment.

Are pacts dangerous?

Finally, we come to one of the biggest curiosities folks have about pacting: are pacts dangerous?

In reality, they can be. If poorly executed on your part, the spirit gains power over you that can be used to make your life a living hell or worse.  Obviously, not all spirits are inclined to do that to you, but many will just for the sake of gaining the upper hand.

Elves, fae, and dwarves, for example, will generally try to pull the wool over your eyes and get the better end of the deal because its a cultural tradition for them.  Its only a good deal to them if they are getting more from you than you're getting from them.  Demons, on the other hand (as in the infernal, not land spirits/daemons) are the same way, but they like to get the upper hand so that they can wreak havoc in your life if they don't like you or want/need something you have.

Its also worth noting that pacting with a spirit you don't know well is generally a bad idea.  You give that spirit more of a foothold in your realm, so its possible that some ill-natured entities will use that foothold to coerce you into making more pacts with them by making your life more difficult.

Its something to bear in mind.

Final thoughts

Pacting is an exceedingly useful exercise, but its something that should only be done by folks who know what they're doing.  If you don't fit that bill, hire a sorcerer, witch, etc. to do the work for you, but only do so if they know the spirit you wish to pact with well.  Well-known spirits aren't always the best choice, so again, do your research and work with the spirit to find out what they'd be open to.

You're always welcome to seek out my advice on the matter, and I hope this has been illuminating for you.

Best of luck & warm regards.
