Death symbolism is common in rites and visions of initiation. The baptism of Christian tradition, for example, according to the book of Romans, signifies the burial of Christ. Symbols of death are of great use in rites of initiation-- plastic Halloween skulls objectively empower initiation rites via symmetry magick-- via symbolism. Visions of being physically torn apart by spirits symbolize initiation-- the death or destruction of what you are as a precursor to magickal rebirth. Unrelated: Do not neglect chakra work in magick-- we all do it from time to time. There is no such thing as a fully open chakra-- there is always progress to make. If you do not work with the chakras, apply this lesson in a more general sense: do not neglect the fundamental exercises of your practice. Spiritual development is not a straight upwards line-- we all backtrack from time to time. Don't be ashamed of that and do what you can to not let it happen. On the bright side, you'll find that the road b...

He was once a living king of Egypt, and he was so renowned for his kindness and fairness that when his brother killed him, the god of the netherworld, Anubis, unrequestedly gave the chthonian throne to Osiris out of respect. Osiris rules the moon and the stars and he presides over magick, immortality, rebirth, agriculture, visualization, destiny, and prophecy/divination. He engenders transition...

More than one witch has expressed the idea that they find it distinctly empowering to work magick during thunderstorms. According to Christos Beest, whenever he would use his art to channel the demons of the Goetia, storms would accompany his channelings. The deliberate causation of storms (at the hands of the archfiends) implies a magickal efficacy which is inherent in storms. The rain serves an obvious purpose, as running water is a magickally powerful thing. Fire is known to be a magickally powerful thing as well, so perhaps lightning serves a similar function. Here follow two excerpts from one of the allegories in the Deofel Quintet, the first of which is only one sentence long. "The storm pleased Melanie and she danced naked in her garden while the rain washed her body as she sucked the storm's health in. ...The twilight of closing cloud and strong wind coloured the sky near the descending sun, and Melanie stood in the circle’s centre calling on the storms to break. Thund...

So you've pissed off a spirit, either by being directly disrespectful to it, or maybe even by trying to force it to do your will. Stuff like this happens a lot, and the procedure laid out here is almost always effective in bringing an end to the vengeance which the spirit seeks to bring upon you. Start with a heartfelt apology. Address the spirit and let it know that you're speaking to it. - Tell it that you were misinformed, inexperienced, and unaware of what you were doing. -Humble yourself. Acknowledge, out loud, that this spirit is older than you, wiser than you, and more powerful than you. Admit that you had not right to mistreat, boss around, or disrespect the spirit the way that you did. -Say that you are sorry. -Tell the spirit that you have learned your lesson and will refrain from that sort of behavior in the future-- or that you will TRY to avoid such behavior in the future. What it comes down to is conveying that you INTEND TO CHANGE the way you interact with the sp...

The Chakras are akin to the vital organs of the soul and each of them is associated with various spiritual powers as well as desirable personality traits. Once the chakras are opened, they serve as powerful gateways to self-transformation. While some of you should only open one chakra every week, some of you can manage one every three days. Some people can open more than one a day, and I know a female who opened all seven on day one. If you are able to meditate in nature or willing to smoke marijuana prior to meditation, you will experience much more rapid success. The aforementioned girl was stoned out of her fucking mind, and she was meditating alongside my covenmate and I. The first chakra, called Muladhara or the Base Chakra, is crimson and resides at the base of the spine. This chakra is associated with survival instincts, ambition, physical identity, autonomy, general physical well-being, level-headedness, and our connexion to telluric energies. The mantra I would recommend for o...
