Working the Arbatel

9/11/2014

2 Comments

 
The recent Q&A session got me thinking about sharing my own experiences with the Arbatel, as well as on detailing the methods I employ in working with those spirits.

For some backstory, I've worked with the Arbatel spirits on and off for the past 7 years or so.  I first stumbled on them when reading through AE Waite's "Book of Black Magic", if memory serves, and was immediately intrigued by the nature of the spirits therein. Working with them over the years is actually what inspired me to create planetary keys, etc., as the spirits themselves are what turned me onto the idea.

These are powerful entities, I find. Not ones to be trifled with, and provided you get on with them, they are plenty able to rearrange minor and major things within the known universe.  Case in point, working with Ophiel to find a new home, some time ago, resulted in my being led to an apartment complex with a room for rent on the third floor, in the third building, near third street, within 3 days (if memory serves - bit hazy on if it was three days or three weeks).  The locale was well within my price range and, little did I know until I moved in, I wouldn't be charged for electricity for nearly three years.  I believe it was 2 years and 7 months before the management company audited their records and I was informed that there had been a mistake on their end that allowed me to get by without being tagged for an electric bill.  I found that rather interesting, as while actually saving money was not the intention of the rite, staying within my price point was - and living in Arizona is quite costly on that front.  In fact, during the summer months, one's electric bill can easily be between five and six hundred dollars...and I was keeping my home at 76 degrees Fahrenheit at all times.  This calculates out to me having saved ~15,000$ at roughly 4500$ a year, give or take. All in all, pretty damned impressive for a spirit that some have relegated to a stance of less importance on account of his not being a deity.

Ophiel has come to my aid, repeatedly, since that time. I've worked with him at least six times for housing-related concerns since then, at least thirty times for clients, and probably more than fifty times for other Mercury-related concerns.  As a general rule, working with him has proven to be incredibly helpful in both the short and the long term.  As such, I am of the mind that serious practice in Planetary Magic requires some familiarity with him.

So too is this the case with his brethren Och, Phaleg, Phul, Aratron, Bethor, and Hagith.  Each has their effects and potency, and as such they are quite worthwhile.

My methods, in working with them, are simple.  The best results I've gotten have required the least level of preparation on my part after having been initiated by them.  Prior to my simpler approaches, the thing that really kicked my experiences with them into higher gear (after moving into the apartment mentioned above) was evoking the lot whilst intoxicated; while I wouldn't recommend it, the process led to some potent internal changes that afforded me the ability to work with them more easily. Prior to this change, I found that using three candles of an appropriate color, the appropriate planetary oil, a mix of frankincense and myrrh on a coal, and the spirit's sigil worked quite well.

After the initiatory experience, writing a short petition and lighting a candle for the spirit in question became more than enough to readily conjure them.  The process became, for me, something of an offering and a prayer. That in mind, I mention this because working with spirits like this in a simple, unimpeded way seems to be of value.

With that in mind, I have endeavored to pen, for you, Attunement Sigils to unlock the Arbatel's potency for you prior to work with the lot. I would recommend proceeding slowly, doing one a week on the appropriate day, during the appropriate hour if you're not familiar with Ophiel et alia.

Each of these sigils is correlated with a Planetary energy, and thus with a specific day, Planetary Hour, and thus a spirit. You can use Lunarium to calculate planetary hours - be sure to change the location to where you live, as that is crucial.

Evocation of Moloch

12/2/2013

I, in keeping with some of the gnosis received through the creation, execution, and practice of the information and keys in my book "Planetary Magic: Utilizing the Keys", decided to to take another step forward and evoke Moloch.

He had appeared, numerous times, through my work with the Keys, to the point where there was a connection of some sort to be found, but I was unable to understand what the connection was without further research.  In researching him, I found several associations between him and the Stars and, thusly, the Heavenly Wanderers found within planetary magical practices.  He was often considered to be a heavenly bull, a king of the things outside of man's control, and in some cases he's been called a Lord of Saturn.  Saturn functions as a sort of planetary gateway to deeper practices, so it made sense that the connection with the stars would exist.

My utilizing the Gayatri mantra further inspired me, as its a Vedic mantra used to inspire awareness as to humanity's place in the Universe's equation.  When using it, the name Moloch would come to my brain in accordance with starry roads and so forth, so it both interested and perplexed me for a long time.  Gunter's discoveries and results, as posted previously, were further verification of gnosis I'd been sitting on for quite some time.

That being the case, I decided to proceed and evoke Moloch and see what I could find out.

In keeping with my way of evoking spirits, I decided to keep it relatively simple. Doing so was not disappointing, though I have to admit that he proved to be a very interesting source to speak to.

After doodling the sigil that had been burned in my mind for some time, I found that he appeared quickly, without malice or any apparent desire to stir up fear.  Instead, the air in the room started buzzing with a strange current of energy and it was as if my tile floor became alive.  The shift in presence was immediately noticeable, and it felt like an extremely parental energy presented itself; I use the term "parental" rather than "maternal" or "paternal" because it was neither masculine nor feminine.  It was strong in that it was something that I could feel vibrating through my very being, but there was no aggression, anger, caretaking, or even swooning; instead, it was very present, but very ambiguous outside of this feeling of having a parent in the room.  It was like talking to something that's been around for longer than humans have been, and its a feeling I'd felt before in dealing with my Patron. The phrase "indescribable", ironically, is pretty damned descriptive here.

Along with this energy shift came a voice that resounded clearly in my mind, to the point where I could swear that he was talking at me in the room physically. The voice commanded respect, but was neither aggressive nor passive, offensive nor gruff...it was very factual and to the point without seeming overbearing or yielding.  Very strange.

Immediately after Moloch's appearance, I had the desire to grab my mortar and pestle and start compiling a blend of incense; in doing so, he dictated that I mash together various resins for a recel....Frankincense, Copal, Myrrh (as a base), and Benzoin (aka Styrax).  There was enough in the mortar that breaking it down wasn't really very easy, but on instinct I set myself to the task of doing so.  As I did, he spoke to and through me, saying that his function was to grind people down so that they were forced to confront the reality of their situation.  It wasn't a malicious intent even, but more like a refined version of what Satan does in the Abrahamic worldview.  He just challenges you and forces you to see the truth rather than the veil of illusion we're more comfortable with sorting out.

It felt like the evocation lasted hours, but in reality I was "out" for about twenty minutes. I half came out of the mindset when my partner texted me and let me know that she was coming home - she was 5 miles away and felt the result of my conjuration.

After setting my phone down and recovering from the distraction, Moloch didn't seem the least bit phased.  There was a clear sense of timelessness as far as his being was concerned, reinforcing the idea that humanity was a blink of an eye for him....weird as hell, really.

So I continued macerating the resins and then, out of the corner of my eye, this blue/green/gray vortex appeared; at first I thought something else was coming into the room, but then I noticed that the energy looked sickly and was actually being dragged out kicking and screaming.  There was this noticeable "wumph" sound, and then a distinct void in the room, though Moloch hadn't left.  Immediately after, my property was filled with this odd, comforting energy that I had seen and experienced several times when I was much younger.  I saw a stang over the altar that felt as if it had been driven into place, and then as soon as it had appeared the energy had settled into place and things felt as right as they could be. Some things that were in need of cleansing were obviously out of place and noticeable, so it was as if the evocation had led to the clearing of my mind and space that then showed me all that was left to be done.

Right before my lass returned home, I thanked Moloch for coming, as my recel had been crafted, and he left without any weirdness or unpleasantness.  I then set to work on the various things that needed doing and things went off without a hitch.  Now, my whole house has been invigorated and the life on my property has been given some oomph; leaves are greener and healthier, and there's less of the weird hangers-on that have been coming out of the woodwork since Sowen.  The same thing can be noticed down the entire street - even the neighborhood dogs have been, for want of a better term, blessed.

All in all, it was a very rewarding experience, and it gave some proof that I've been on the right track. Definitely worth investigating further, as I had a great deal of fun with it and the effects are still very present after 24 hours.

Happy Monday, folks.

Communicating With One's "Higher Self"

6/1/2013

5 Comments

 
Picture
In response to a request from a long-term client of mine, I have decided to share a means by which one might reach and commune with their "higher self".

Without going into the specifics of just what that is, as its been rehashed all over the interwebs, this post is to serve as a brief how-to....that is all.  You, as with all magical work, assume all risk, liability, etc., as connecting with one's Self isn't exactly an easy path.  It will shake things up - if it doesn't, you've done something wrong.

The sigil you see below is a key of sorts.  Its purpose is simply to rend the veil such that you have the ability to connect with and perceive your Self as a separate entity so that you can work with it.  You will need to have a basic understanding of sigil magic, astral projection, creating sacred space, etc. to use it effectively and safely.

Picture
You will need to claim the space around you, make it sacred, banish all of the larvae and the like that typically hang around, invoke whatever Gods make you feel safe, and then utilize the sigil as a key to the astral.  Project into and through it to connect and commune.

I would recommend drawing it on a piece of cloth using your own blood, or perhaps a scrying mirror.  The former method will allow you to reuse it as you see fit.

This will likely stir strong emotions and desires in you, so be prepared and don't undertake this if you're troubled, unwilling to do the work, given to bouts of megalomania, or any other such sociopsychological malady. Be aware that this working will attract attenton from spirits, so you may have spirity nasties show up and try to siphon your energies after the fact, so diligence is required. This isn't something that you do out of curiosity and then give up on, so bear that in mind.

Happy Hunting.

A Jupiterian Key

Greetings dear friends.

I'd ask that you pay careful attention and bend a knee in respect of the kingly sphere, for we've reached the last of the Planetary Keys.  Where we of the "Seven Spheres in Seven Days" crew started is where the Keys, in their current renditions, end.

Finally, we've reached Jupiter, the sphere of Kings, rulership, management, and prowess.  It is the regal Lion of our Universe and reigns supreme amongst the firmament.  With that, I give you its key:

Picture
With this key, you are both empowered and armed with the ability to manage your sphere as you see fit, but know now that this has its perils.  Should you lose control, your kingdom will rise up against you.  Proceed carefully and with sincerity, take up these keys I've given you, learn them well, and then use them.

Warm regards,

A Mercurial Key

Greetings and blessings ladies and gents.

Here we are again, on a quickening Wednesday,  hump day.  In accordance with and as a result of my work with the "Seven Spheres in Seven Days" crew, I've got another planetary key to share with you lot.

This one, in honor of the day, is a Mercurial Key, and represents the vested interests held by the planet, the home of Science, Communication, non-romantic interpersonal relations, and balance.  It is, in so many ways, an ambivalent planet just as its  emotionally-driven, in my experience.  To be frank, its the planet I enjoy working with the most.

That being the case, here's the key:

Picture
Think carefully when you do this work, and pay careful attention to your results and insights; this is the planet of subtleties.  Beyond that, you are on your own to sort out its uses. :)

Cordially,

A Martial Key

Ave.

Here we are again, and it is Tuesday.  As with the previous entries, this is a follow-up of sorts spawned by my work with the "Seven Planets in Seven Days" crew.

Today's entry, as its astrologically-fitting, is for Mars, the planet closely associated with Dominance and War.  Below you'll find a key to use in tapping these energies.

Picture
As with the previous keys provided, when you stick this on your spiritual keyring, you'll need to learn how to use it, and use it well.  Consider this to be akin to a weapon of war, such as a knife or a pistol.  Poor aim and poor handling can cause you harm, so bear it in mind.

Good luck.

A Lunar Key

Ave friends, confidants, and tresspassers (Kidding!).  I greet you again with Lunar tidings, this time 'round.

As a result of my work with the group "Seven Spheres in Seven Days" and La Luna, I've graced the silvery slip of the heavens and come away with an interesting tidbit that I thought I'd share.

As with the past three days, my gift to you, this Monday, during Hekate's sliver, is the following key. It is, as one'd guess, a lunar key.

Picture
The key, pictured above, is particularly intricate and temperamental, energy-wise, as a result of it being tied to the Moon.  The energies will wax and wane with time, so don't be surprised if you have totally different effects from using this at different times.  Of all the keys I will be presenting, this one is one of the trickiest.

Have fun!

A Solar Key

Greetings once again, friends.

I hope this post finds you well.  As I'm certain you are aware, as a result of my work with "Seven Spheres for Seven Days" I've received some phenomenal gnostic insights that are worth sharing.  As a result. each of these keys are being propagated through this blog over the course of seven days.  Now that we are on Day 3, Sunday, it is time that I share the next keys: the Solar Key.

As with the previous examples, it is hand drawn through my use of Paint, so please forgive me if it seems sloppy.

Picture
Be aware that this sphere, not unlike Saturn, can be unpleasant to deal with at times, as it is, in many ways, a manifestation akin to the Seraphim.  If you attempt to fly too closely with manmade wings without respect, you will crash and burn.  I leave it to you to discern the finer points as usual.

Enjoy!

A Saturnine Key

Greetings once again, dear readers.

This dose of your SE fix is administered as a result of my ongoing work with Rufus Opus' "Seven Spheres in Seven Days" rites, which I've been fortunate to be a part of.

Today the topic is, simply, a Saturnine Key which was passed onto me by the denizens of that particular sphere.  I should caution you, before going forward, that this particular key is going to be a lot less gentle than the one I posted yesterday (A Venusian Key) as a result of the very nature of Saturn, and the simple fact that we've got a lot of planets rolling around in conjunction with Scorpio. That being the case, this is prime time for working with the lovely sei'irim-esque entities which reside therein.

As one might say, bondage is the name of the game, so, without further adieu, I give you the key in question...

Picture
As with the previous key, this is hand-drawn through Paint, and it is up to you to learn how to use it effectively.  If you are astute enough to be able to grasp the meanings and uses at first glance, bravo! If not, keep working at it; I'm sure you'll figure it out.

Enjoy!

A Venusian Key

Greetings folks, and happy Friday to you! (and me, for that matter...)

In the honor of this blessed day, I thought I might share a tidbit that came to me this morning.  It is in the form of a Venusian key, which, in this rendition, is essentially hand-drawn by me through Paint.

I received the associated gnosis as a gift, of sorts, that resulted from the ongoing magical work I've been doing with the group "Seven Spheres in Seven Days" as hosted by Rufus Opus.  As a result, I thought that it would be appropriate for me to spread the good word, so to speak, and share this particular blessing with you lot.

With that said, here's the sigil:

Picture
The key sigil, shown above, is intent upon providing its bearer with a greater ability to access the sphere of Venus and learn more about all things ensconced therein.  As usual, I leave it to you to discern the whys, wherefores, appropriate uses, and subtleties. 

Enjoy! (and use protection!) ;)
