Michael "Rocky" Geis.</p><p>First of all, Jean dismissed Fork from our beloved House sometime in June of 2022. I don’t recall the exact date although I believe Jean called me on either the 10th or 11th and told me in the late afternoon and said he decided Fork’s membership in our House was over and that Fork could no longer work Guinen (re: holy) but would be now be labeled a Boko. This means Fork can only access the LWA through the Left hand, which requires Makaya (re: blood). Thus why Fork was forced to seek power elsewhere, presumably with some blood oriented Palo house who agreed to take him in. Once our House Spirits cut him off, his Vodu Guinen days were over.</p><p><i>Dirty Laundry Time</i></p><p>Everyone asks me, “Why did Jean dismiss Fork from your House?” Well you have to understand it was over more than just ‘one’ thing and it was a long time coming. First and foremost Jean had issues with Fork’s honesty especially in personal. l dealings with him. That alone should say everything so if Jean had issues with Fork, and dismissed him from our House, then Fork is full of shit when he lays claim to our House’s leadership.</p><p>Fork’s dishonesty to Jean itself covers a LOT of ground. When you’re initiated by a House Master/Mambo, you are supposed to regularly tithe to the House which helps to support your teacher and it also helps them when they need to ship you something for your practice such as a powder or an oil, maybe a spirit juice, a special statue or whatever is needed for your work. Fork chose NOT to support Jean or our House, only himself.</p><p>Fork would also get himself into fights with Santeros & Paleros online then come running to Jean for help and protection which is not something Jean wanted any of his children doing - i.e. getting into fights with others over their Haitian spirituality. That’s because we do not have anything to justify to anyone else. And yet somehow Fork would end up pissing off some advanced practitioner who would be after him until Jean got involved.</p><p>What really upset Jean was that Fork would initiate students into his own personal House, then give them a rough way to go in learning Vodu <i>which was not how Jean did Fork nor any of us.</i> According to Fork’s former students, several reported their mistreatment by Fork Nan Pwen and his issuing spiritual threats to them if they went to either Jean, myself (or anyone else) in our House about him.</p><p><i>Invalid Initiations: Initiations At A Distance</i></p><p>Another major issue is our Vodu House <i>does NOT nor will not initiate someone either “at-a-distance” or “by mail”</i> because all valid initiations must be done by an living Initiate and a Kanzo <b>must</b> be performed in person! Yet this was something else I found out Fork was doing to people who lived overseas. Why? Presumably for the money because there was no transference of power. Power can only be transferred directly from a living Priest to an initiate seeking to be baptized with the spirit on them. PERIOD! The African religions are not any sort of self-initiatory system like many new age belief systems are.</p><p>And now I am dealing with the fallout of Fork’s former students (and numerous unhappy clients) coming to me.</p><p><i>False Claims: Emperor & Knives</i></p><p>Lately Fork has been dreaming aloud because he has been babbling online that he is a “Houngan Emperor” who now holds the knife in our House of LaFleur Luchene. The joke is Jean worked Guinen (NOT Makaya) and Jean trained all of his students to work Guinen as well. Yet see when you piss off the House's spirits, then you MUST work Makaya to get your results. Fork can no longer work Guinen. </p><p>Jean never needed to use Makaya to get results. Period. I saw this man work miracles without it just by using Hebrew passwords with only his own Head Spirit, a glass of water and a white household (or Hebrew Shabbat) candle. He needed no altar, no drumming, no Hounsis, nor Mambo present, just his own Head Spirit and the passwords he gave to the spirits along with the instructions for them to follow.</p><p>And yet last year Fork Nan Pwen went on record saying the following about his Vodu teacher, Jean Kent... </p><p>* he was a fake Houngan who had no actual power</p><p>* he was a witch (Haitian version not earth centered spirituality) who had no honor or power other than using evil</p><p>* that Jean learned his knowledge by hiding in the weeds watching other Houngans in their houmforts work</p><p>* Jean being a witch wanted to kill everyone in our House - yet we’re all still here and if Jean had wanted Fork dead, the boy would already be dead</p><p>* and numerous other fictions, lies and deceit</p><p><b>So this begs the real question: if Jean Kent had no real Vodu power, then Fork’s claims to Vodu power are obviously fake as well, correct?</b> Chew on that for a spell...</p><p>Now Fork claims Jean promised him to be a Houngan Emperor. The boy has no idea what that title even means let alone requires in order to become one and so forth. Yet here is a little man who comes crawling out of the ashes of his failed marriage, his failed Vodu practice, his failed career, and makes grandiose claims about using a knife in a knife-less practice. Oy vey what goofy claims will this boy make next?</p><p><i>Even Lied About Me!</i></p><p>As if the lies Fork has told about Jean weren’t bad enough, now I learn he has gone around telling people he was initiated <i>before</i> me. Well Fork has openly stated he was initiated Aug 3rd, 2011 yet I was initiated on March 9th, 2009 and I still have all my PayPal receipts to prove my assertion as well as the motel receipt I stayed in.</p><p><i>Kiss Fork's Knife?</i></p><p>If Fork Nan Pwen approaches you claiming he is running or still associated with the Vodu House of Jean Kent, he is out & out LYING to you so grab onto your wallet and run like hell the other direction from him! Jean never gave anyone in our House clear succession. At best he asked me to look after a couple of his students while he was in the hospital just a few days before he died. That is all. I KNOW for a fact he would ever relent and promise Fork something like that all due to the boy's gross immaturity, his ill treatment of his students and clients, and his refusal to financially support Jean or the House.</p><p>I know you’re thinking, “Gee Moloch, this sounds so dramatic!” and yes you’re right <i>it is</i> because just like when there’s a death in the family, there’s always those who want to step forward before the body is cold to the touch and GRAB the deceased’s belongings: money, land, power, status, assets and so on. If you have not seen this happen in your own family, consider yourself fortunate. Just ask folks at work or school if that ever happened in their family and you’ll soon hear some very sordid tales about inheritances, birthrights, legacies, bequeathments, and so on, all quickly latched onto by evil, greedy people, most of whom formerly appeared to be loving family members.</p><p>In closing, Fork is not someone who tells the truth abo9ut Jean, me, or even his own former students. Thus be aware when dealing with this boy. Watch your back. You have been forewarned.</p>Moloch's Sorceryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11261341252837940356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669242718827366477.post-53712770342954773492022-08-27T13:54:00.001-04:002022-08-27T13:54:32.193-04:00As You Please Powder<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJPZMNsYWUowzrzRsvrlKhmZbBnzuenvZOGb0LHf2pVdZUfH2mSnn-vAMEfh_Wvmt-NseB9Q-qU2yypx1OXbeO43SHP9YvIxF-rENSK-f44sqfpEaao35bIVWCNs8OLdNVLDx1sejqqNA9sx5eCwJGeNXcv-9o3Zcv3OrYSc7KeXs6Pp-MMuwl05OH/s400/asUpleasepowder.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="400" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJPZMNsYWUowzrzRsvrlKhmZbBnzuenvZOGb0LHf2pVdZUfH2mSnn-vAMEfh_Wvmt-NseB9Q-qU2yypx1OXbeO43SHP9YvIxF-rENSK-f44sqfpEaao35bIVWCNs8OLdNVLDx1sejqqNA9sx5eCwJGeNXcv-9o3Zcv3OrYSc7KeXs6Pp-MMuwl05OH/s320/asUpleasepowder.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p><b>As You Please Powder</b></p><p>Color: Orange</p><p>1/2 c Orange Blossoms</p><p>1/3 c Mint leaves</p><p>3 drops of Musk (essential) oil</p><p>OR ALTERNATE (made with essential oils only)</p><p>1 oz orange powder</p><p>6 drops Orange Blossom oil</p><p>4 drops Mint oil</p><p>2 drops Musk oil</p><p><u>Instructions:</u> If possible, place a pinch in the shoes (or belongings) of those you wish to do your bidding.

The Musk oil adds an exotic odor to create an overall intoxicating aroma.</p><p>This powder can be used to help gain our way in a quiet, almost clandestine way. You simply use small amounts of it in the manner the recipe as suggests. A little goes a long way.

I ask this because normally in the shipping & expediting world, FedEx was king and I say WAS. For some odd reason they have allowed their standards to fall to the point it feels as if they hired some of my retired USPS who didn’t care about accurately delivering mail, (not that all who delivers locally are that way but a number definitely were!)</p><p>For years I, and other local residents, have relied on FedEx to deliver the goods speedily as well as accurately. That’s why we or anyone for that matter, pays their higher than normal shipping fees. They once blew away the USPS, UPS among others who tried to topple them in the world of delivered packages but lately their service is horrid and downright terrible.</p><p>Within the last thirty days, I have received not one but two packages via FedEx and each time they held my package for “more information” per the driver. Say what? My address has not changed since I moved here. In fact no one’s street address has changed yet the driver for FedEx is telling their home office that addresses in our neighborhood are incorrect even though we have the exact same info on the package with name, correct address and phone number. And yet they can’t deliver the package due to incorrect info? Riddle me that, Batman!</p><p>I have had to call FedEx twice now to get my packages delivered even though they have delivered a guitar, an amplifier, cookware, and other assorted household stuff in the last decade to my door. Yet all of a sudden within the last month, FedEx is starting to fall apart? Is it true the driver’s own their trucks and their own routes? If so, then I no longer will use FedEx for either receiving packages nor shipping them out. If they cause me this much aggravation, then I can only guess what sort of ignorance they cause the lot of you reading this.</p><p>This is yet another case of “they’ve gotten too big for their breeches” or as my late friend Albert used to say, “They’re successful in spite of themselves” which is what he used to say about Walmart. I am simply going to try DHL to see how they act and since I cannot trust FedEx any longer, I need to find someone else whom I can trust. UPS is out and proved that when they destroyed and refused to reimburse me for several pieces of Radionic-Hybrid equipment shipped through them which arrived damaged to a very unhappy customer. He now refuses to use UPS as well after that little fiasco.</p><p>But FedEx used to be in a class all to themselves. You could count on them to do things the right way. Sad they’ve fallen that far. Big giant in the industry. USPS, albeit slow and steady, has still proven to the best method to ship in my experience. They are also the least expensive of the bunch. True a lot of the old ones retired out of there but such things are common and we will see how the new crew does their jobs. As for FedEx, meh. Screw off.</p>Moloch's Sorceryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11261341252837940356noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669242718827366477.post-17030635589439860982022-04-25T01:16:00.001-04:002022-04-25T01:16:59.466-04:00Occult Film to Watch<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGcl6E71C2oq331wcq9BKeHJvAoq2HlCFaRpVh2QHLxdvjgM5_LrHV9Xbb2_N9G--ktGv_K1KPXo2r3Mmdq1XEF0dzrwapbHK8071iRgMLM2EdqGYhVqlrFpQCYCuNhKW-gulFiQwurcKC63cmlJhvz7xmR1IOWTuP3K2lISxOuHZNrSVe6MKwrvjX/s1441/MV5BMTYwMjEwMjExM15BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwMzY4NTM0MzE@._V1_FMjpg_UX1000_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1441" data-original-width="1000" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGcl6E71C2oq331wcq9BKeHJvAoq2HlCFaRpVh2QHLxdvjgM5_LrHV9Xbb2_N9G--ktGv_K1KPXo2r3Mmdq1XEF0dzrwapbHK8071iRgMLM2EdqGYhVqlrFpQCYCuNhKW-gulFiQwurcKC63cmlJhvz7xmR1IOWTuP3K2lISxOuHZNrSVe6MKwrvjX/s320/MV5BMTYwMjEwMjExM15BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwMzY4NTM0MzE@._V1_FMjpg_UX1000_.jpg" width="222" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p>Are you like me, a fan of occult horror films? If so I discovered a new one on Netflix entitled “<b>Dabbe 5: Curse of the Djinn</b>”. It is subtitled in English because unless you speak Arabic, subtitles are required. However the story is allegedly based on real events in Istanbul and Bursa, Turkey.</p><p>The story begins with a ritual of a woman giving birth then having her baby is taken from her only to have it given to the djinns. Then we are shown a pair of late 20's modern Yuppie couple who begin to have strange things happen in their home.</p><p>Of course the same old horror tropes are involved, primarily the husband who is uber-rational refuses to believe his housewife is experiencing anything metaphysical yet he and she are devoted to “Allah” - which being religious one would presume he would take such things more seriously yet in almost every film on hauntings or possessions, it always seems someone in the film has to portray the skeptic to the bitter end regardless of what they encountered along the way. (Hollywood/Writers, this is getting stale/old!)</p><p>A witch-woman aka exorcist gets involved and you hear folklore, minor rites, a magic circle, djinn lore (which may or may not be accurate), a séance, astral travel to the realm of the djinns, and some other fun stuff. The cool thing about this film is you find out at the end, it is based on <i>real</i> events which happened and left the Police dumbfounded as to why some of the people involved were dead and why some were alive.</p><p>If you get a chance to view it and can deal with subtitles, I highly recommend it because it IS entertaining. I watched it on my laptop so that I could slow down the playback speed by 1/4 on Netflix and read the subtitles much easier otherwise at normal speed, I found the subtitles moving too quickly to catch everything. Plenty of scary elements in it and lots of interesting tidbits along the way for a fun scare-fest.</p>Moloch's Sorceryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11261341252837940356noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669242718827366477.post-64329856844269091352022-02-07T15:03:00.004-05:002022-02-07T15:03:51.652-05:00Book Burnings Should Be Punishable<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhB3ctyfQqk3MGYKchSTeXaqihqlueDZ_NBNSfz4ri0Kgj4WrEfSlaKXmhObbUI446uc4b-jaMTIxmQfbUIObD3kw7pLCp-BXl-OacaxwNOGRbjgyGO5tCsVZk5SZ2LKUPLIfYmhfCoOeWN3LtBk_rCOj8sPpFJF3vLGOG_RSBnqvILq3_tZIlYL42F/s960/e2nescqzwqf81.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="960" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhB3ctyfQqk3MGYKchSTeXaqihqlueDZ_NBNSfz4ri0Kgj4WrEfSlaKXmhObbUI446uc4b-jaMTIxmQfbUIObD3kw7pLCp-BXl-OacaxwNOGRbjgyGO5tCsVZk5SZ2LKUPLIfYmhfCoOeWN3LtBk_rCOj8sPpFJF3vLGOG_RSBnqvILq3_tZIlYL42F/s320/e2nescqzwqf81.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />This redneck is <i>Greg Locke</i>, yet another right-of-the-far-right ultraconservative "Independent Baptist" preacher whose Alma Maters are considered "<i>KJV-only, complementarian, dispensationalist, science-denying, and affirming of eternal conscious torment</i>" schools.

I’m not up on the modern authors so I made some suggestions for authors I am familiar with, as I typically do. One author I mentioned, Ray Buckland, sent shock waves through the group causing many to freak out over my suggestion. By the reaction to his book suggestion you would have thought I suggested one of Hitler’s personal memoirs or some other equally horrid notion.</p><p><i>Throwing Out Baby With Bath Water</i></p><p>Okay, yes I do get the Cancel Culture idea especially if the person was a “known racist” or someone equally loathsome, and yet today I am seeing far greater reach for this concept of canceling out someone’s body of work especially if they wrote a book or two for the money and not for the sake of the art. In the case of Ray Buckland, his Romany book was such a book which seems to be the stake in his heart for some odd reason.</p><p>Never mind that Buckland’s big blue book on Witchcraft is an ideal intro to the subject, which is the same book that got me started way back in 1987. Or the fact numerous Hoodoo folks I know and respect, use Ray’s “Chant-O-Matics” book on a regular basis in their spiritual work. Yes his chants actually work as I have used many of them myself.</p><p>So Ray wrote a book or two for money? Big deal. The rest of his work is substantial and worthwhile. I had one Crowleyite picking apart Ray’s works and I had to remind this guy he shouldn’t throw stones while visiting a glass home since his own hero hardly had any sort of a spotless reputation. Furthermore I told this guy Hoodoo folks don’t seem to be into Crowley because they look for magic that works here and now.</p><p><i>Ray Buckland Is Only A Symptom of the Bigger Issue</i></p><p>It seems the youth of today with their Tick-Tock videos are being led by people who have no cred other than they can show an altar set up and just find information for free on the Net. How that makes one an expert is beyond me.</p><p>The other side of the coin is many youth seem to be judging others based on hearsay, rumor and hyperbole without facts or proof. It seems they hunt for blogs where some self-righteous asshat has an issue with a practitioner or author and yet this blogger has nothing other than some shady evidence (or just more hearsay) and this is how the cycle of deceit begins.</p><p>It’s like as adults, we are all back in grade school and dealing with the whole “popularity” problem all over again. Silly yes, however it is real and the real detriment of social media. It becomes a “he said, she said” sort of thing which is no good. </p><p>Look, if all you are going to do is follow and adopt the practices of people who only share your views, your politics or your opinions, then you are not going to find many to follow. Why? Because as a former Skip Tracer, I can assure you, if you dig deep enough on ANYONE, you will find dirt on them and most likely something which will oppose some belief, moral or truth you hold dear.</p><p><i>So what then?</i></p><p>Do you stay solitary and not bother with commercial, mainstream or Internet info from occult authors who have dirt in their past? There are authors out there whom I know personally who have just done a reasonably good job of keeping their own dirt out of the mainstream and strictly private. They’re not nice people yet their fans are enamored with them. However this begs the question: if their fans discover some sort of dirt on them, will the fans abandon these authors?</p><p><i>Pedestals Are For Statues</i></p><p>We live in a culture where people today seem to worship celebrities and everyone apparently wants to be a celebrity in the spotlight. This is not a bad thing mind you however it seems fans want to place their heroes on pedestals instead of just admiring their body of work and leaving it at that. Pedestals are for statues not people because eventually people will say or do something to cause themselves to fall from their pedestal. Most average people say they understand this concept yet they continually engage in mounting those they admire onto pedestals just the same.</p><p>Today, even rumor and hearsay ruins a person’s reputation regardless of whether there are any truths to the allegations. Why? People are cynical and almost all of them believe everything they are told via hearsay, newsprint, or on video again regardless of whether what they’re told is fact based or an outright fabrication. You are guilty until proven innocent. </p><p><i>Because People WANT to Believe Bullshit</i></p><p>It ought to tell quite a lot about a person when they say they listen to someone like Fox News whose owner specifically stated in a Tampa district court that he was not obligated to tell the truth and yet millions still listen to what this network’s “news” function pretends to be. This has zero to do with political parties or sides because I am merely going on the auspices of what Fox Broadcasting’s owner stated under oath in Tampa’s court of law.</p><p>And because Fox News has kept its share of viewers even though everyone knows they fabricate a goodly portion of their so-called “news”, other news agencies began to follow suit and disseminate fiction as fact. And people eat that shit up too. This is why I am skeptical of any news source and its so-called news. </p><p>I have a friend of mine who is a ham radio operator who gets his news directly from people living in foreign lands who tell him what is really going on and not what some news agency first sanitizes before they disseminate to the public. No I’m not going to invest in a ham radio license and equipment just to get news because I have my own life, clients, students and so forth to deal with at the moment. If you desire un-sanitized news, then you will have to opt for something like becoming a ham radio operator.</p><p><i>Summary</i></p><p>So you will have to make a solid decision on occult authors at some point because the modern authors you love now are doing and saying things which later when they come to light, will repulse and abhor you. Why? They are people and people have a tendency to stumble and fall... a lot. If you are going to hold author A responsible for something said in a private discussion several decades ago, then you need to ask yourself about your own path, how you think, speak and act every moment of each day and if you say or do something which later you regret, are you not then as bad as those you finger point to?</p><p>When you are angry, arguing with another, and get to the point where you both begin to say evil things to one another, ask yourself if what you are saying, if immediately broadcast, would cause you to lose friends and supporters. Most likely, it would. Occult authors are like you, once something is said or done, it can never be taken back thus remember your own regrets when looking down on an occult author because she or he is just a person, like yourself, who can easily stumble and fall off the pedestal.</p>Moloch's Sorceryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11261341252837940356noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669242718827366477.post-54062763360824207282021-09-01T02:02:00.000-04:002021-09-01T02:02:07.040-04:00The Occult: Not Depraved But Mildly Erotic<p><span style="font-family: verdana;"> </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5NTcIkQZIOU/YS8XNbk8L6I/AAAAAAAABXA/Ne0-OqqPLk0Z4EE9iqs0lFQNhqzYQihIwCLcBGAsYHQ/s400/10b17a3f-5d26-4845-865d-c6748ca821f1_d.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="300" data-original-width="400" height="240" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5NTcIkQZIOU/YS8XNbk8L6I/AAAAAAAABXA/Ne0-OqqPLk0Z4EE9iqs0lFQNhqzYQihIwCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/10b17a3f-5d26-4845-865d-c6748ca821f1_d.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Is it still 1921 or 2021? I ask because it seems those who deem themselves authorities on the occult to the Police and the media are wont to paint the lot of us as depraved individuals. Excuse me to all of you "alleged experts" on the occult, but I am an occultist and I am not depraved. I may be mildly erotic at best but hardly depraved.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Really, just who are you so-called experts anyway? And where do you get off demeaning an entire sub-genre of people? And please, what makes you experts on the occult? And furthermore, who made you experts? Because I guarantee you this: myself and many other occultists have forgotten far more than you will ever know about the occult!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">And the fact that you label all Witchcraft & Wicca, OTO, Golden Dawn, Vodu/Voodoo or Hoodoo as "Satanism" just proves how much of an occult expert YOU ARE NOT! Because a real expert would know the differences between each and be able to explain them which most informed occultists can do and yet no alleged Police occult expert is able too.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">It is also telling of just how little you know when you automatically label finding a black candle stub, a crudely drawn pentagram and a Motley Crue CD at a cemetery as a "Satanic Ritual" when you have never seen nor studied what a real Satanic rite looks like. Such a finding may simply be a graveside ceremony for a deceased friend who liked Motley Crue and had a thing for black candles and pentagrams. Just because you might find a Star of David graffitied on a cement wall, does that indicate Jews are invading too??</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">The sad part is people like you are only interested in sensationalizing minor details to inflate and conflate them into whatever bullshit you want the public to believe them to be. You Police Occult experts remind me traveling evangelists because you have the same mentality, the same penchant for lying, omitting the truth, stretching details to fit your beliefs and conflating facts instead of attesting them for their veracity.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Can I say that all occult practitioners are like me? No. However I can say that out of the thousands of practitioners I've known in my near 34 years of involvement and practice in Witchcraft, Sorcery, Haitian Vodu and the Occult, I have yet to meet anyone who I would deem depraved. I have met a few who were a bit off in the head but lunatic fringe in groups is nothing new as the three Abrahamic religions all have their fair share of fruits, nuts and flakes among their ranks and they do nothing to rid themselves of these sickos!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Thus, before you go labeling our beliefs as depraved, look into your own family's religion's history and just see how sick, twisted and bloody your faith has been before you go pointing fingers. We are just tired of the Abrahamic cults and their intolerances towards others.</span></p>Moloch's Sorceryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11261341252837940356noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669242718827366477.post-70140474821519233452021-06-18T20:25:00.001-04:002021-06-18T20:25:31.810-04:00I'm Still Here<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fHvEag8Udms/YM05UwgcwwI/AAAAAAAABUE/WjZXB0-757Y1d3FpsewsWf8xPYhMjQ27QCLcBGAsYHQ/s540/dont-worry-im-alive.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="464" data-original-width="540" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fHvEag8Udms/YM05UwgcwwI/AAAAAAAABUE/WjZXB0-757Y1d3FpsewsWf8xPYhMjQ27QCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/dont-worry-im-alive.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div>Greetings. I am alive and well even though it has been well over a year since I last updated my blog. Well I never followed a regular posting schedule anyway, only as the mood struck me. This pandemic just takes the stuffing out of one, eh? I’ve more or less stayed cooped up home like most Americans and only lately have I been foraging out and about.</div><div><br /></div><div>So what have you been up to during this pandemic? I have been refining my practices, reading some new material, watching a few horror TV shows (sadly most of which suck!), occasionally playing my new Xbox One my daughter & son-in-law got for me last Yule, dealing with clients, dealing with a lot of family members going in and out of the hospital (non-Covid related) for one thing or another, and trying to keep my head under the radar is about all.</div><div><br /></div><div>By the way, if you run into any spiritual trouble or need a spiritual boost in any way, give me a shout. My rates are reasonable and while I am often booked in advance for work, many cases get resolved quickly.</div><div><br /></div><div>Yes, I have made progress on my new sorcery book. The book is going to be more of a primer so no big secrets to speak of however I think I may create further material later on for future books which will be more in-depth. I’ve thought about doing an omnibus type of book where I include an overview but since I already did that, I think this time it would serve the student better if I help them with digestive bites of information instead of trying to just dump a ton of info on their lap and let them sift through it to see if the student can make sense of it.</div><div><br /></div><div>While I have kicked the idea around about a Sorcerer’s course, I’m not certain what platform to use to launch it from. I have an inordinate amount of material I’ve accumulated over the decades and I’d like to pass all of this knowledge and wisdom on to someone who is interested in learning well as doing. My course would end with students getting initiated in person.</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>~o0o~</b></div><div><br /></div><div>Pro Tip: I was kvetching to an ethnic friend of mine who is also a sorcerer, about how old candles of mine which may not get used right away are a real pain to get the dust off of. She said to use a used woman’s knee high stocking and it will clean the dust off without harming the candle. So, I tried her tip and it worked. Made the wax look practically new again. Then it was quite easy apply oils - should I want to do so.</div>Moloch's Sorceryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11261341252837940356noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669242718827366477.post-30184566763320803192020-05-25T01:06:00.000-04:002020-05-25T01:06:21.763-04:00Sorcerous Thoughts: Relationships & Solitude<br />

<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Y8qMCPOyW0k/XstQZByt1XI/AAAAAAAABHU/8HjBqP1iEgwl-X3XPUYRlbH2vwEYoqhWACLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/alberteinstein1-2x.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="630" data-original-width="1200" height="168" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Y8qMCPOyW0k/XstQZByt1XI/AAAAAAAABHU/8HjBqP1iEgwl-X3XPUYRlbH2vwEYoqhWACLcBGAsYHQ/s320/alberteinstein1-2x.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
We are a communal species much like the insect world of the ant or bee where we dwell among others of a like mind. While we may not all have queens to serve, most of us reside in communities of close proximity to one another with a tiered governmental system to guide our conduct.<br />
<br />
Our modern mainstream religions evolved from ancient cults which were communal as well because people of a like mind who believed in the same deity, spirit or philosophy gathered to commune together using the same rites and observances. Some of these cults and religions grew out of a desperate need for identity while others grew from a base of the lust for power and dominance.<br />
<br />
Today even the non-mainstream belief systems seek members whom seek to assemble themselves together for numerous reasons from learning more about what it is they believe in to security and safety in numbers. It is safe to say that all of the African systems are community based belief organizations and many of the western European ones such as lodges and Witch covens are growing of their own accord as well.<br />
<br />
So with the notion that it is better to be part of a group than alone, why would anyone decide to go off on their own in the first place? There are reasons and they are not all occult nor metaphysically oriented. Sometimes the reasons are just plain as day.<br />
<br />
Many may think the idea of being alone is antithetical to being a human however it is not.. History shows numerous great minds and thinkers spent a great deal of their lives alone contemplating and working alone often so that they could get more of their work accomplished. Mathematicians, alchemists, astrologers, artists such as painters & sculptors, musicians, composers, engineers and inventors, scientists, poets and many others all left the hubbub of the world at large and sought refuge from the noise to be alone with their thoughts, ideas, beliefs and work.<br />
<br />
It seems to be only within the world of religion where you are expected to conform and become like everyone else: docile, respectful, accepting, obliging, giving, and of course, obedient. You’re not expected to question the status quo let alone the religion’s philosophy else you run the risk of expulsion from the community sometimes called ‘excommunication’ - which often meant death for an individual since no one else in the community was allowed to do business with them by religious decree.<br />
<br />
The few who chose to resign themselves to either lead a dual life of a self-centric spiritual believer who chose to question the community’s dominant paradigm or the rare individual who left the community all together and wandered off to find their own plot of home for themselves out in the wilds had a tough time of it to be certain. We do know there were Sorcerers in France operating as alchemists who often sold poisons to nobles and aristocracy while they plied their work seeking to both illuminate their souls and obtain the Philosopher’s Stone which was believed could turn base metals into gold.<br />
<br />
There are tales of Cunningmen and wise women who eschewed many towns preferring to live by themselves while they worked their Sorceries for clients and performed whatever magics they did for themselves. This may seem a stretch to some however is it really? We can look to the Old West in the US where Mountain Men got tired of so-called civilized life and went into the mountains to live many years alone with a few being outlaws but numerous ones being scarred by their time serving in the American Civil War. If these men would just up and leave civilization all together especially with numerous angry Native American tribes disliking any white settlers on their lands, it’s not a stretch to imagine how Cunningmen & Wise Women of old could easily do the same for various and sundry reasons of their own free choice.<br />
<br />
Here are some of my reasons as to why a serious practitioner would want to disconnect from the world today and venture off into parts unknown by themselves. You may judge for yourself yet understand these are simply my thoughts on the subject and are not definitive by any means.<br />
<br />
1. <b>Peace & Quiet</b>. Above all, removing oneself from being tapped into “The Grid” s many are wont to say is to forsake the typical noise of the idiot box (i.e. television) and the communication devices such as the modern telephone. After a while the peace and calm one’s mind obtains is wonderful and very stilling. It allows for your mind to have its own thoughts rather than to be bombarded with the miasma of trauma by so-called news reporters, pundits whose opinions mean nothing and slick advertising conditioning you to believe you are not cool/hip/pro/chic/etc IF you do not purchase their products. All of this can be lived without.<br />
<br />
2. <b>Difficult Family Members</b>. Nothing is more aggravating to me than a bunch of ungrateful family members whom you’ve done work for or helped previously and when you need them, they’re nowhere to be found. Family is supposed to stick together however this often is not the case. In most families, there’s one members who is the dominant one who tries to bully you into submitting to their whims & desires. This is not a good family setting rather it is a bully situation and regardless of the fact they are blood relations, when they have consistently demonstrated unable or the unwillingness to help you when you need it then why bother to worry about them any longer?<br />
<br />
3. <b>Friends, Acquaintances & Who are you again?</b> After Family come those who toss around that dreaded word willy-nilly “friend” especially when they desire for you to help them with the heavy lifting, the ride, or the money loan. I dislike the word “friend” because I tell folks I have 2 real friends and everyone else I know is an acquaintance of one degree or another - usually to the lesser degree. Once I had someone ask me, “So how do you define a ‘friend’?” and I stated “a friend is someone whom you can get a substantial amount of money from without ever fear of having to repay it as well as someone who will immediately get up in the wee hours of the morning during a blizzard to come and rescue you; that is a friend.” In reality a friend is someone you can impose upon if need be and they will have your back without question. Know anyone who loves or cares about you enough to take a bullet for you? THAT is a friend. Everyone else is just an acquaintance.<br />
<br />
Occasionally I run into this third type who I label, <i>“Who are you again?”</i> because these are people I seriously do NOT remember ever meeting let alone ever knowing and usually they are trying to wheedle something out of me whether it’s $$$, something free or just my time for them to tell me about their interests. You may even know the type yourself and they are severely aggravating.<br />
<br />
4. <b>Political Rhetoric</b>. Ugh. “Vote for so-&-so because they’re gonna fix everything!” Really? Then why didn’t they fix everything when they held a lower public office? Why are their state’s finances in a shambles now and how many unwed mothers have been kicked off any sort of financial assistance while they served as their state’s Governor? Yet this all knowing candidate is going to fix everything if s/he becomes Senator or (worse) POTUS? Really? Then my friend you’ve been drinking too much Kool Aid but if you add a little strychnine to it, you won’t have these silly beliefs any longer.<br />
<br />
People want to believe in politicians more then they want to believe in Jesus, Allah or UFO’s and it’s really scary. Oh certainly every politician starts out “honest” (cough, cough) which is utter nonsense because no one in their right mind leaves their multi-million dollar a year corporate job to take a political position that pays just over $100K/yr?!?! I call BULLSHIT! They are in it for the financial gains they can get from the power structure which will be at their beck and call. Yet simpletons believe in the errant stupidity of what some candidates spew their sewers with promises of reforms - all of which only ever help the top one percent of the wage earners. Trickle-Down Economics is idiotic, it does not work and Ronald Reagan sold us that No-Sale nonsense 40 years ago.<br />
<br />
5. <b>The Lunatic Fringe</b>. Here I dump the religious lunatics who run around trying to save us all from ourselves. The one who refuse to pay attention to their own kids, what they are doing, where they are, who they are with and so on yet these religious knights want everyone else to suffer by instigating harsh community rules of conduct and decorum for anything and everything which they believe flies against their faith. This did not work in the Cromwellian era of Britain and it is not working in the Muslim world today. When force is applied it eventually it encounters resistance and if the force is increased then the resistance will also increase and the result will become catastrophic. Such is inevitable.<br />
<br />
Not only must we deal with the lunatic religious maniacs in our society but also we have to deal with aggressive sales people fostered by corporations whose desires are to expand, increase and surpass previous records in their gluttonous rage to corner the market so they get all of the $$$. Sadly this leads to unethical sales tactics, outright cons and often lies about their competitor’s reputations.<br />
<br />
We are even seeing these old straw hat tactics being used today by door-to-door knockers representing so-called utility companies such as electric and/or gas utilities in the hopes of switching you over to their (surprise!) lower rates offered by the firm they represent. However once you show them your utility bills, they now have the info off of it so they can sign you up without your consent and you are in one helluva mess to get the issue resolved.<br />
<br />
Getting just as bad are the aggressive kids selling scout cookies or church youth groups preying on the adult for sympathy to buy their wares yet when you spend the $ on the items, no one ever shows up with your merchandise.<br />
<br />
And of course we have the local political parties who reach out by going door-to-door which in itself is not normally bad IF the door knocker is a rational individual and can keep their cool but many of them are hyper religious kooks and get offended easily if you refuse to pray with them or tell them you don’t like their candidate because he’s a born-again fundamentalist.<br />
<br />
6. <b>The Ever Growing Police State</b>. I have known more than a few who have left the comforts of civilization seeking solace out in the wilds after they purchased land and had a cabin or ranch steading built. Why? Because these folks were afraid of the ever growing Police State being weaponized, trained and fueled by the Military Industrial Complex.<br />
<br />
Today we have a Police State who take in trainees, give them a few weeks of training then send them out with loaded weapons on patrol. Yet a hairdresser must go through a full year’s worth of training before s/he is allowed to cut hair! I may overlook some of this IF these new Police recruits were former Military Police but often these men and women are just average high school grads who have had very little training when compared with our European brethren’s Police forces.<br />
<br />
Do not get me wrong, I respect our police because I come from a family with former police members, my late best friend was a 20 yr retired sheriff’s deputy and I got to know a number of officers, highway patrolmen and deputies when I was a firefighter. Even many of my old retired officer friends are astounded at how our modern society has shifted towards police because of all the hard work they did in their day to make things better between police nd citizens yet today young hot-shot officers pull their guns and kill the tiny yappy dogs of homeowners or baby kittens in front of young children who wre tending to them - and sadly this behavior is ALWAYS justified by their respective police departments.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
~ ~ ~</div>
<br />So is it really that difficult to want to pack up and leave town? Or just remove yourself from society’s grasp? Yet we hear religions claim you need “community”. Yet if you’re a practitioner who can raise a few livestock animals, tend to a small garden, know how to smelt metals in a forge, have your own solar &/or wind power to suit your needs, then you should be able to get along fine all by yourself.<br />
<br />
Sadly though people who are self-sufficient like this are often labeled by the establishment as kooks, odd, strange, weirdos, coots, or worse, “anti-establishment”. For what? Just because you want to be alone with your thoughts? Tell that to DaVinci, Emerson, Tesla and many others who enjoyed their time alone so they could think, create and invent.<br />
<br />
I also find it amusing how many so-called occultists today pay lip service to wanting to perform the Abramelin ritual yet none of them want to leave society to actually go and do it properly. Everyone wants to do this ritual while still living and working in our modern society. And still that’s NOT how Abramelin the Mage laid it down to his son. Imagine if you had a steading or cabin where you could be self-sufficient and be alone? Think how much and how far your magical abilities would go.<br />
<br />
Even if you didn’t want to perform the Abramelin rite, you could still do your Liber Samekh for an extended period of time thus allowing you the golden opportunity to see within and to meet your higher self. Or perhaps you cared to spend time simply working the Uncrossing Ritual for an extended period of time? Removing all of that crap you were embedded with from your past childhood upbringing with limiting beliefs, doubts, fears and worries which you could resurrect each one, examine it carefully then expel it and replace it with something better.<br />
<br />
THIS is why unplugging from The Grid is an ideal thing for the Sorcerer who does not wish to remain handcuffed to societal norms. With services like Amazon you can order virtually anything online at a local library and have any book sent to you for your studies. Your magical work would increase by leaps and bounds. I know this because years ago when I was still in college in Florida, I used to take sabbaticals from work and just read/study and practice Sorcery & Magic - when not in school and finished with my class studies. It was fantastic! I’ve been thinking about doing this again except I am considering investing in some private property out in the country somewhere and setting up shop.<br />

<br />
Recently someone asked if they needed a degree from a Gardnerian coven to become a Witch or rather what would be involved to become a First Degree in a Gardnerian coven? My reply is following...<br />
<br />
Do you feel you need degrees or do you want to be an <i>actual</i> Witch?? Because rather than focus on a ton of books to read, it would be far more prudent as a student for you to get outside and get into the woods where you can set up a shrine to the old Green Man and ask Him to help you begin to learn about His children: herbs, plants, trees, bushes and how to use their roots, stems, leaves, berries, bark, and so forth to first learn from then later in your spiritual work. Ask the Green Man to also introduce you to His forest children, the Nymphs, who can teach you all manner of woodland lore and plant magics. Pay attention to any dreams you have as He & His children will most likely come to you in your dreams to teach you things so have a pen & paper by your bedside ready to write when you immediately awaken from slumber.<br />
<br />
<i>What Then?</i><br />
<br />
* Learn the delicate arts of relaxation until you can fully relax your body from head to toes. Do not rush this! Take your time to progressively develop this skill. It will serve you well over the years as you practice it. Note: if you have trouble falling asleep after you begin, then go to bed an hour earlier than normal and wake up an hour earlier than you need to and practice your progressive relaxation then because you won't be as easily to fall asleep after you have had a full night's rest. If you still find yourself falling asleep, try sitting up with legs criss-crossed & with your back against a wall.<br />
<br />
* Learn to breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth using only your belly’s diaphragm. It is not as easy as it seems but it can be done. Begin to breathe in using a rhythm of 4-2-4-2 which is thus: breathe in for a count of 4... hold for a count of 2... exhale for a count of 4... hold for a count of 2... keep this rhythm going while you breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth and always exhale the exact amount of air you inhaled. This breathing exercise should be performed regularly, daily, while you relax then later prior to meditation.<br />
<br />
* Next learn to both passively & actively meditate until you can achieve a solid 20 minutes of inner mediation. Start off with setting a timer and trying to simply focus your mind on your breathing for 3 minutes then in a few days increase the time to 5 minutes then a week later make it 10 minutes then the following week increase another 5 minutes and by the end of the month, you should be at 20 minutes of quiet, relaxed meditation.<br />
<br />
* Get dirty and feel what the earth and its various dirt's are like in different locations which can tell you a lot of about an area itself. Get down and grab some dirt from the ground, roll it in your hands while you close your eyes. Feel the dirt in your hands. Is it top soil? Sandy? Loam? Clay? What? Notice the properties of each. Let the dirt speak to you. If nothing comes immediately give it time and practice. You will begin to unlock the secrets of dirts & soil of the earth and the plant kingdom.<br />
<br />
* Let the Gnomes of the earth speak to you telling you what the history of the area is and other secrets it contains. The Gnomes are the easiest of the Elementals to make contact with. They can also make you a green thumb if you so desire it. Make offerings to Them and you will be rewarded not only with a green thumb but also with spiritual knowledge and They can also help introduce you to the other Elementals such as Water who are the next ones you should make contact with after you have made contact with the Gnomes.<br />
<br />
* Get outside during a thunderstorm and sit on a porch watching the lightning display. If you're afraid of lightning storms, work to overcome that fear and realize it is only a force of nature, of the earth mother Herself and nothing to be afraid of. When the storm is over, feel the ozone in the air and notice how it energizes you! Deep breathe in the ozone into your lungs and feel the power the lightning left behind. Of course make notes in your journal.<br />
<br />
* Construct a Power Bag in which to store your excess power so that you can draw on it later so that when you are feeling low, you can draw on the power of your bag to uplift, heal or protect you. Realize it has many uses in your Craft and can be worn when you go out and wish to ward off any potential harm from others such as at a gathering or crowd.<br />
<br />
* Instead of worrying about a ritual dagger or athame, make a staff or walking stick instead which you can walk down the street with. You can draw a circle with your staff, draw pentagrams, ward off evil with it, and make it a living tool by regular use and the spirits will respect it far more than a mere sword because you use it more often than any sword. You can still use an athame if you choose but when I was practicing Wicca, I rarely used my athame because I chose instead to use my power staff. Decorate it however you wish as it is your representation of Sorcery.<br />
<br />
* Erect a shrine to make contact with your Ancestors and offer Them a single glass of water & a plain white unscented tea light candle every day for 30 days then you can switch once every Saturday. Salute them and thank Them for any help They can give. After the initial 30 days are up you can switch to saluting Them on Saturn's day, Saturday. You only need a glass of water and a plain white unscented tea light candle. Remember this is a shrine only, not a working altar. You interact with your Ancestors here not perform regular JuJu here.<br />
<br />
* Next, find a Patron spirit with whom you get along with and more importantly who wishes to work with you. This is often a god, goddess, a hero, a saint - in other words, a spirit of some type whose ideas, customs & concepts you really admire. Read up on that spirit's history, Their mythology, who worshiped them in the past, where were They worshiped and why, what cultures took part, what geographies Their influence reached, and so on. Learn as much as you can - just please do not be a McWiccan where you study so little unless it's only from some sheeple publisher (ll-ewe-llyn) books. Try to study the locale where the Patron was originally worshiped so you can get an idea of the flora & fauna that grew there and study up on the land's native plants which will be important to the Patron spirit and which you can include in your workings with the Patron spirit. A great resource to begin with at this stage is the Larousse Mythology books as they are fantastic and well researched. "If" you are leaning towards the Hellenic Gods, then you will want to get a copy of the Homeric Hymns to add to your repertoire to honor your Patron. If you're leaning towards a Norse deity, then the there are the Eddas & various Sagas to get material from. IF you're unsure of WHOM to work with as a Patron, light a white candle and call out to the Universe using the four cardinal directions and say that you want a Patron spirit who will be there for you, work hard for you and give you solid advice when needed. Then be patient until your call is heard.<br />
<br />
* Finally if you feel you still need books to read then avoid Pagan books as much as possible and opt for books written by scholars or professors who have no bias whatsoever. There are numerous universities from around the world whose scholars are well respected researchers in their fields on everything from the occult to trees & plants to earth sciences. Your Witchcraft library should include material on things like Earth Science, geology (rocks & crystals), plants (flowers/weeds), trees/shrubs, basic biology & Grey's Anatomy (because if you plan on doing any healing you need to know something about the human body), metallurgy, basic chemistry (you want to make your own potions later on? This is a good way to learn some simple fundamentals - you can learn quite a bit s from manuals out of kid's chemistry sets if you can locate them). If you feel you need actual "pagan" books, then try author's like Paul Huson, Tarostar, Lady Sara, Charmaigne Dey, and if I must, I will plug my own Free Basic Witchcraft Lessons here -> <b><i><a href="http://www.molochsorcery.com/witchlessons.html">http://www.molochsorcery.com/witchlessons.html</a></i></b> from my own site which still rock because they are bite sized, simple and non-confusing for the beginner.<br />
<br />
* It would also not hurt for you to study any sort of scholarly Native lore from wherever you live to simply learn about the folklore, stories and legends of that area as these may help you with any hauntings, ghosts and spirits should they make themselves known to you somehow. Why reinvent the wheel if it has already been documented before? You may discover the folks who documented the visitation found a way to get rid of any offending entites so study up like a real wizard.<br />
<br />
So in summary, you can see where I suggest a plan of action for the would-be Witch instead of just plopping their bum down reading they should get busy with learning how to be an actual Witch not someone who simply gets involved for political reasons these days. Not to say that some Gardnerians aren’t the read deal but these days so many are just fake.<br />
<br />
Besides with most Gardnerian covens are very insular and resistant to bringing in just anyone and unless you have someone on the inside vouching for you, it’s not likely you’re going to get initiated into their coven any time soon so you may as well begin studying on your own outside and learn all you can about nature, its denizens and how to be a real Witch!Moloch's Sorceryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11261341252837940356noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669242718827366477.post-27672442705712935012020-03-22T16:03:00.004-04:002020-03-22T16:03:55.523-04:00Just Checking In...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;">I was at the doctor’s office the other day and watched the custodian cleaning extra carefully - obviously due to this coronavirus outbreak here in Ohio - and had to thank him for his extra attention to detail more so during this time than others. When you think about it, your custodial staff are the unsung heroes of your office and you really should stop and thank them once in a while as they pick up all your dumb shit off the floor after you like your mother had to back when you were a child plus all that vacuuming, dusting and now all of the extra sanitizing everything. So stop and just give them a kind word of thanks which will be plenty enough I know because decades ago, I too used to do part-time custodial work back when I was in my late teens. It’s not all about cleaning commodes either as so often everyone thinks because it often involves making things shiny and new looking so when you come into the office it smells nice, the bathrooms smell clean, the break rooms look and smell nice too. So remember your cleaning staff and hell, after this coronavirus crap is over, buy them a pizza and a beer because they have earned it.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: xx-small;">How are you and yours dealing with this Covid-19 situation? Where I live we are doing our best by staying in, practicing good hygiene and venturing out only when necessary then using the safety suggestions provided by the CDC & WHO.

<span style="font-size: xx-small;">Everyone has been asking me how do you deal with this sort of thing spiritually? Talk to your Ancestors to protect you from the Covid-19 threat as much as possible. Be courteous, respectful and ask your ancestors to watch over you and yours to keep all of you healthy, happy and virus free. Offer Them a candle regularly - perhaps Saturdays, Mondays & Wednesdays to ensure you are on Their radar and remind your ancestors you and your family needs protection. </span>Moloch's Sorceryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11261341252837940356noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669242718827366477.post-28746538582333363412019-12-05T03:49:00.000-05:002019-12-05T03:49:35.900-05:00The Social Practitioner<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Can an over-abundance of opinion be detrimental to the future of a Genuine Practitioner[1]? Yes especially if the opinion is unsupported by fact(s) which is all too often the case in our digital world. We are social creatures by habit who thrive on social interaction thanks to the conditioning such institutions as school, work, church/synagogue/mosque, shopping malls, town halls as well as parades, sports games, eateries, recreational parks and other spots of social interaction have been created around for us to interact.<br />
<br />
In the past for the GP, the only way to interact with others of a like mind was to seek them at either regional gatherings or book stores who catered to our metaphysical whims. Today however we can simply log on to a plethora of social media websites and forums and discuss our concerns or ask questions pertaining to our particular interests regardless what those are.<br />
<br />
However when you put forth your valid question(s) to others out there on the web, especially social media sites and forums, are you really doing yourself any favors? Opinion is what you are going to get regardless of what you asked for. If you ask for information about a particular grimoire on virtually any site, almost always the question will arise will be, “Why? Why do you need this?”<br />
<br />
'Why' is a challenge question and you are being challenged by someone or a group of others to stand your ground to support your reason for wanting information on said grimoire (or subject) - even when those questioning you have zero information on the subject to offer in return! So for all of the headache you may be going through to validate your request for the information, you most likely will not end up with the information you seek from those who are challenging you.<br />
<br />
This is an all too common occurrence in social situations and it is one of the reasons many groups now ban what they deem ‘spell begging’ or ‘practical how-to’ information requests because of the ridiculous amount of noise these types of requests generate on a list and the moderators are correct in doing so.<br /><br /><i>Opinions Are Like Assholes & Everyone Has One...</i><br />
<br />
Everyone seems to have an opinion these days about something even if it is unsupported by fact and this alone does not stop them from sharing it with others. I still get people asking me my opinion about Enochian MagicK even though I have never practiced that discipline let alone studied it & have to continually explain to people what I know about Enochian can be engraved on the head of a pin in Sanskrit. That is because I know next to nothing about the subject thus I am the last person who should be asked about it. However I DO know others who have never read a single book on the subject who feel qualified to talk on the subject for hours. Go figure eh?<br />
<br />
More power to them.<br />
<br />
<i>Social Proof Is NOT Valid Proof</i><br />
<br />
An example of social proof, i.e. proof that is presented by Joe & Mary Sixpack online who claim to know about X yet admit they have never practiced nor performed X is simply an “opinion” and it is NOT even an informed opinion which itself is sometimes helpful, especially if they offer no solid evidence to back up their claim(s).<br />
<br />
You will run into this quite often on forums and social media sites and it can be very detrimental to your practices IF you take these opinions as fact rather than as opinion. I am not saying Rod the Bod the long time practicing CM cannot have something worthwhile to give as valid opinion mind you however if Rod the Bod only has opinion then take what he offers with an enormous lump of salt. Especially IF Rod the Bod has never practiced what you asked about say Necromancy or Ancestor Work. Even if his comments are constructive, take it with a grain of salt if it comes out Rod the Bod does not practice Ancestor Work nor Necromancy regardless of how long he has been a practicing CM. His opinion on the subject is just that - opinion. Nothing more.<br /><br /><i>Seek & Ye Shall Find</i><br />
<br />
What you seek is a GP in the subject you have interest in. If it is Ancestor Work/Necromancy, then seek out someone known to be either an expert in that subject OR at the least someone you trust who is working in that field and ask them for their opinion. If your interest is in Enochian MagicK again seek an active practitioner of that field, not someone who merely read a few websites or a couple of books on the subject. Ask around about who is considered an expert on the subject you have interest in and you will find a person's name or two. What did the good Rabbi say? <i>"Seek and ye shall find; ask and it shall be given unto you."</i><br />
<br />
<i>Do Not Merely Dive In Head First</i><br /><br />In fact it is never a good idea to simply chime into a group or forum asking your question openly like that anyway. Why? First off you look like a rank Novice who just crawled out of a cave with a beginner’s book in hand dying to learn anything. Secondly you should click on the person in the list whose name you trust as the most intelligent and ask them your question. Typically this will get you a far better answer as well as a more honest and faithful answer because if they do not know the answer then most likely they will tell you point you to someone who will know the answer to your query. Finally you will both save time and face by forgoing the open questioning and going straight to someone whom you feel knows the answer to your question rather than just asking away hoping anyone can help.<br />
<br />
<i>Breaker, Breaker!</i><br />
<br />
I liken the openly asking questions to a group or forum to how people would just jump in to conversations back in the 1970's when the Citizens Band (CB) radio fad began to get big. You could be enjoying yourself chatting with someone and some yahoo would have to jump in with “Breaker, breaker!” and by etiquette you were forced and had to let them join in regardless of the situation. This ruined many conversations and often I would simply be listening to a couple of folks having a terrific chat about some interesting topic on a non-trucker used channel an inevitably in about 60 seconds or less, some yahoo would come wallowing in like a walrus to screw up the conversation.<br />
<br />
That is what it seems like when I see many of these otherwise open questions to a group or forum - especially ones that the vast majority do no need to know about nor have the knowledge let alone skill to answer. For instance I have seen people asking questions about Ngangas - a traditional Palo tool - on both CM & Wiccan lists - and the result was often sad and sometimes hysterical. The questioners should have simply asked their questions privately to the Paleros off list and they would have gotten a far better response rather than a bunch of ceremonial morons or McWiccans asking “What do you need this information for? What do you plan on doing with it?” and “blah-blah-blah”. Leave it to white folks to be judge, jury & executioner before they know all the facts.<br />
<br />
<i>Suggestions To Reduce Your Stress</i><br />
<br />
- Limit how many groups & forums you are a member of since joining more of these organizations is not going to get you better information rather more noise.<br />
<br />
- IF you feel you must do your research online like a Millennial, then be smart about it and stop openly asking questions on lists & forums. Learn to focus and target like a hunter.<br />
<br />
- Instead watch lists & forums for a while to see who knows what about which subjects because some folks are experts at some things while they are deficient in others. <i>No one is an expert at everything</i>. No one.<br />
<br />
- Unsupported opinion is detrimental to your progress because you are going to hear a lot of negative input about what you want to learn from people who have never practiced or have “heard” from another practitioner that what you want to know is somehow bad for you much like Vegans are on about meat.<br />
<br />
- Seek out GP’s (Genuine Practitioners) on the subject(s) you have interest in. You need more than mere scholars in the field. For example there are a lot of scholars who know a great deal about the PMG however there is a growing number of practitioners who actually practice the Greek Magical Papyri and these are the folks you need to talk with about the nuts & bolts of what works and what does not concerning that subject, not the scholars.<br />

<br />
<br />
<i>Missing Journals</i><br />
<br />
Another year has passed. Thirty-two years since I first began my work in the occult. It is difficult to know what all has transpired over the years without checking my journals and sadly a number of those have either been stolen or (more likely) got lost in moves from various locations when I was relocating during my college days in Florida then the BIG MOVE back to Ohio. Which sucks because I had one particular notebook filled with all sorts of spirit seals I received from the Four Elemental spirits way back in the beginning. It was sort of like a mini-army of spirits to call upon for various minor magical desires and things.<br />
<br />
Most of these spirits were just for one specific task given to me by their Masters who usually had multiple abilities and I learned who their Masters were by talking to the Four Elemental rulers. Today many work with the Four Elemental Kings ala from the Medieval period which is fine but at the time I had not heard about Those folks so I plodded along with Gob, Nicksa, Djinn and Paralda like many did in the late eighties. Once I learned how to make a magic mirror, and how to enchant it, the work became much easier, especially after I discovered I no longer needed a “seer” as Kraig suggested. And really my only seer at the time, Dave, while eager to the work, was a family man, had a full time job, with a home to care for and the logistics of where he lived from me put a serious dent into our working together. Not only that, our first evocation together scared the living hell out of him and rightly so. Thus I learned to work on my own.<br />
<br />
<i>I Know, I Know...</i><br />
<br />
This past year I have been working diligently on my new book, the replacement for Pragmatic Magics. It is going to be a wholly different grimoire, content & design, title... everything. Oh I may have a couple of things from the old book in there but this new book will be a real 101 Sorcery Manual that takes Joe or Mary Sixpack and gives them what they need to advance pass the Novice or beginner stage towards the Initiate phase. I plan on having a Book II in the series which will cover spirits, grimoires, personal grimoires, summonings, techniques and what not which should take the individual well on from the Initiate stage towards the Adept stage. Obviously these stages cannot be obtained merely by reading alone as there is a LOT of personal work which must be done by the reader. Part of me wants to turn this into a weekly or bi-weekly course instead where I can monitor each student’s progress, recommend they do certain exercises and such. The only problem with this idea is everyone is already committed to 80+/hour a week life that typically they cannot find another minute to squeeze in.<br />
<br />
<i>Education Cost</i><br />
<br />
And truth be told, I do not want a horde of folks to have to constantly pay attention to. I prefer just a handful because that’s enough to try and keep tabs on. There are far too many out there wanting to teach for practically nothing so let them go learn from those teachers. I know my occult education was not inexpensive as I have spent sometimes ungodly sums over the years from live teachers to learn what they know not to mention the enormous costs of courses I’ve taken, festival lectures as well as occult shop lectures attended for $$$. Usually anything for <i>free</i> can be found in a book or online somewhere.<br />
<br />
I have seen some jerks talk smack about my first book Pragmatic Magics as if it is something ‘common’ because by this time it is found everywhere and much of the content has been pulled, rehashed, sometimes sanitized then republished. Still these nits never bothered to look at the date of publishing for PM. I wrote it in 1993 and it came out a year later in 1994. PM was a culmination of a LOT of my personal experimentation back then. From the time I left the radical McWiccan community in Tampa Bay who shunned me for my Goetia investigations, until I began writing PM, it was some of my best material I had to offer at that time. Like Brujo Nego often likes to say about his own Voodoo Sorcery Grimoire which came out a couple of years afterwards, “I have moved on passed that material!” LoL He gets heated about that when people ask him questions about it because he feels most of the material is self-explanatory. Typically I agree.<br />
<br />
<i>WHY is Brother Moloch Always ANGRY?</i><br />
<br />
LoL There was a time I was beginning feel this way. I have some astrological houses and planets that are challenging in this area so that doesn’t help and being born into a hot headed clan of German-Irish people doesn’t make it any easier. What really helped me cool off in a big way was simply letting go of social media. Frankly I have convinced myself that what others believe in/practice is of no consequence regardless of how bizarre or even idiotic it sounds especially when they try to lead others astray. If you’re foolish enough to believe what someone tells you online just because s/he’s got a shiny website or FB page then more’s the pity on you.<br />
<br />
<i>Wisdom I Have Hard Learned Over the Years...</i><br />
<br />
<b>1. People WILL ‘Believe’ What Is In Print Regardless of Whether It Is True or False.</b> Even the so-called educated fall prey to this phenomenon and this is why numerous companies & individuals make use of this horrid tactic. Educated people may THINK they do not succumb to such shenanigans however marketing research can prove otherwise. Print media is still king because it can be re-read, shared and circulated indefinitely while television & radio advertising have finite lives.<br />
<br />
<b>2. Groups & Forums Are NO LONGER Places for Learning.</b> Typically these days sites like these are run by egotists who revel in mandating their rules, forming their cliques and much like social media, if you do not stop in daily, then you’re not part of the clique. <i>“But Moloch, I learn so much from these places!” </i>you tell me. Really? My “best” years of learning were when I was alone, without the Net, stumbling along by myself, making notes, trying out various ideas, and tinkering with things to see what was what.<br />
<br />
Today what happens is someone gets a book or two, barely reads through it, joins a forum and begins asking questions only to hear a half dozen different opinions on how s/he should proceed. Yeah that’s fucking helpful to a beginner! Sadly no one on any forums has the nerve, gall or intestinal fortitude to take the beginner under their wing and guide them through what s/he needs to know because, <i>“Hey! I’m a big shot and I’m too busy pontificating on this forum!”</i><br />
<br />
Stay away from forums and groups. Read, study and dissect your books, spells & rituals. Experiment. Burn your fingers. You’ll learn a helluva lot more than you will from a bunch of egotistical wannabes who “pretend” to know what they’re talking about. You can tell them apart because they have to speak up on virtually every thread even when you know they cannot possibly know everything. Those are the jokers to watch out for. They comment on just about EVERY thread. Stay far away from those clowns - moderators, admins or not.<br />
<br />
Also, forums/groups are notorious places where snobs will derail conversations (threads) and tear down others who are unable to be present and confront the accusations made against them.<br />
<br />
<b>3. Not All Systems of Magic/K Work for Everyone.</b> I spent 10 years of my life practicing <i>Qabala MagicK</i> back in the 90's and discovered that was a useless pile of goat feces. To me anyways. Why? Because what everyone uses as Qabala today I could NOT get to do one practical thing for me. Nada. Oh yes I hear plenty of folks CLAIM they get all sorts of benefits from, such as the Golden Dawn’s version of the LBRP, the Middle Pillar, and every other ritual that lodge organization offers but I got diddly squat for my 10 years of effort trying various methods and techniques.<br />
<br />
<i>QBL VS Kabala Magic</i><br />
<br />
I scoffed for years at QBL Magic and if you were to bring it up I would look at you as if you were some sort of lunatic that was until Jean came along and taught me his version which surprise, surprise, actually works! But then Jean pronounces many of the Hebrew syllables differently, with different inflections, sometimes wholly different word pronunciations and etc. His came from a genuine Kabalistic Rabbi who knew his stuff. My faith has been reborn. :) And yeah he IS working on a Kabala book but don’t bother he or I about it because <i>he’ll get it done when he gets it done.</i><br />
<br />
Also never allow others to push you into something you do not wish to go nor allow yourself to believe the marketing others claim. To use my late High Priest, Ron Parshley’s analogy, <i>“We are all standing on the rim of a great wheel and what we desire is in the center hub; how we choose to get to the center hub depends on which spoke of the wheel we opt to take.”</i> This means African Religions may not be right for you, nor may Norse/Norwegian folk magic, nor may Wicca, nor may ceremonial magic and so on. You have to find what suits you, and more importantly what garners actual RESULTS for you. ;)<br />
<br />
<b>4. You Can Learn/DO More With Less.</b> This not only includes books because believe me almost all modern authors repeat the same stuff over and over (ad nauseum) but also with friends and acquaintances. Pare down your inventory of those whom you believe are worth your time and efforts. Same thing with spirits. There’s little be gained by serving a house full of statues and hungry spirits. Because then you’re simply a butler having to cater to Their desires like a slave. Is that what you really want? I have said it for years and I am saying it again, just get ONE, WORKING SPIRIT you can rely on whether It is any one of the following:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>a saint</li>
<li>an angel</li>
<li>a daemon or demon</li>
<li>a fey</li>
<li>a nativity spirit</li>
<li>an Ancestor</li>
<li>one of the other Dead</li>
<li>a Thrall</li>
<li>and so on</li>
</ul>
<br />
Because ONLY ONE spirit is all you will ever need. Unless you are planning on doing this full time for others, you will NOT need a host of spirits at your beck and call, all right? It’s a misguided notion that you need to have a house full of spirits. More often than not most people just do not know HOW to deal with that many non-physical entities going bump in the night around their home. It does take some getting used to. When I’m gone, I can only imagine the fun it will be for the next family to move into my haunted abode. :)<br />
<br />
Seriously though, one spirit WILL BE ENOUGH for you. How do I know? If you’re not planning on becoming an Houngan or Mambo working for others, then one willing spirit to work for you will simply BE enough. You will be able to get any need taken care of by this one spirit from protection to finances to business to sexual fulfillment to healing because <b>whatever one spirit can do so too can another</b> - to a lesser or greater degree. One is sufficient. Makaya need not be involved here either. Simply talk to your spirit and have at it. When the job is done, give It a little bit of liquor.<br />

In closing it should be noted that wisdom is always a hard won and costly in some manner. Occasionally when you can, try and recover wisdom from others and their exploits because it can only be obtained through trial and error. For without the error, there is no wisdom to be gained.Moloch's Sorceryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11261341252837940356noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669242718827366477.post-12146047913734200692019-11-08T11:39:00.002-05:002019-11-08T11:39:34.945-05:00Lilith Wynz's Passing Over to the Ancestors<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><b>Mz Lilith</b></span></div>
<br />
It is with deep regret and great sadness I must report the passing over to the Ancestors of “Mz Lilith from Twilight Crossroads”.<br />
<br />
Mz Lilith was not only at one time in the past my apprentice, she was also baptized into my Haitian Vodu House and served the LWA as a devoted Mambo taking care of the needs of her family, friends, clients, students, and community. Lilith loved spiritual work and often told me she wished she had found it when she was much younger so that she could have had more time to learn and hone her skills at it.<br />
<br />
Many of you will recall that Lilith made terrific oils for spiritual work. We talked about the idea of her creating the Uncrossing Oil Kit for the Uncrossing Ritual which she enjoyed creating and putting together for numerous clients and customers over recent years. When I first met Lilith around 2002, she was learning to formulate oils and over time became quite the gifted alchemist.<br />
<br />
Her skills as a JuJu worker were impressive enough that I could give Lilith an original spell to use, she would perform it then call back in a few days to tell me how well it worked. In fact her JuJu was so strong that her clients & customers enjoyed her spiritual work from around the globe hiring Lilith to do all sorts of sorcery & Vodu workings. She not only loved every minute of it Lilith also took great pride in her work.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7b-B3wSrRqk/XcWaIV6eraI/AAAAAAAABDI/tj_AEPAOhKMq2xYvMlkHnyDOqkroQ5HyQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Lilith1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="318" data-original-width="399" height="255" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7b-B3wSrRqk/XcWaIV6eraI/AAAAAAAABDI/tj_AEPAOhKMq2xYvMlkHnyDOqkroQ5HyQCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/Lilith1.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
You may not know this but Mz Lilith was also a gifted trance medium and would often serve as a “Horse” on occasion. The spirits spoke loudly through her and she enjoyed the communion with Them. She would have amazing dreams that were prophetic.<br />
<br />
Prior to her involvement with the occult, Lilith owned and operated her own alternative news magazine back in the early 1990's where she had a staff that focused on the Rock-Metal-Alternative scene in the greater Cleveland, OH area. With that she got to meet, interview and hang out with many (now) famous musicians often before they were famous such as <i>Alice In Chains</i> while they passed through the area’s clubs. Lilith also played keyboards in at least one band in her youth which she told me about.<br />
<br />
Lilith was a very talented writer until however, she was struck by a brain aneurysm a number of years ago which nearly took her life then. Yet with much love, support and a lot help from the spirits, as well as being the strong individual she was, Lilith managed to make it through that ordeal with flying colors to live a normal life - albeit with slight reservations. Unfortunately this past Friday All Soul’s Day, Mz Lilith succumbed to yet another brain aneurysm while working out at the gym. The saving grace in all of this is she did not suffer.<br />
<br />
Blessings to you, Lilith Wynz, and thank you for coming into our lives for the brief time you did and making it that much brighter. May the Ancestors receive you with open loving arms and raise a toast with the Guede & LWA as you party on in the afterlife until the next phase of your journey is ready to begin!Moloch's Sorceryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11261341252837940356noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669242718827366477.post-21045308853949604872019-10-15T16:22:00.000-04:002019-11-03T17:05:29.101-05:00Advice: Feeding Ancestor Spirits<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A point of clarity needs to be resolved. It seems some folks who have read my blogs and former website essays misunderstood some instructions where food & drink are concerned. This short blog is hopefully an attempt to correct these misunderstandings.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The only thing you should be offering your ancestral spirits on a REGULAR basis meaning every time you approach Them is two things: a <i>glass</i> of spring water and a plain white unscented tea light candle. Nothing else.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Things like coffee or other drinks should be reserved for once a month - at the most often you give it to Them, got that? Same with beers, wines, teas, and any other non-water drinks out there. Doing so can cause your spirits to become “over fed” and therefore LAZY and <i><b>not willing to work</b></i> - until They are hungry again which can be as long as a few months or even a few years depending on how much you go overboard on your offerings.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Thus be aware of this simple yet highly important thing which you must take into consideration while taking care of your own Ancestral shrine. To not do so is to court disaster especially WHEN you need Their help! You may be thinking, <i>“Oh I don’t need Their help right now!”</i> which may be true at the moment yet you cannot say that next week for certain can you? You never know when you will need Their help so overly feeding your Ancestors <i>will NOT help you</i>. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Trust me. I do not care what others on the Internet say about feeding Ancestors because I heard it direct from an old black Santero back in 1988 who said (about handling spirits): “A fat slave is a lazy slave!” and he used the N word in lieu of the word slave to make his point and what he meant by it was <b>if you overly feed your spirits they will become lazy.</b> That is advice I have always heeded since that time.<br /><br />Yes there are those with bovedas and shrines where they lavish food, drinks & all sorts of gifts upon their Ancestors and guess what? Not one of these folks is capable of getting their spirits to wake up & work when they need them. That is what happens when you over feed a worker - they can't work. You feed them just enough to carry them on then make them earn their supper not give it to them before earning it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So I pass this wisdom on to you. Use it wisely or not. It is ultimately your spirits what you do with. If you overly feed your spirits and They do not work for you then you cannot blame me for I forewarned you.</span>Moloch's Sorceryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11261341252837940356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669242718827366477.post-4517818020791943092019-08-19T09:54:00.000-04:002019-08-19T09:54:14.287-04:00The Blind Can See!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /><br /><br />
Greetings One and All!<br />
<br />
I know it’s been a while since my last blog post but I have been BUSY! Not just with work mind you but I have some great news to share with you...<br />
<br />
First of all I want to share that I had double cataract surgery this month and I can clearly see for the first time in well over a decade!! Thank the Ancestors for miracle of cataract removal! And I thank the Them for the wherewithal for the ability to get this done without having to resort to a GofundMe campaign to do it.<br />
<br />
The experience was surreal and it was the healing that was the most weird of all because a couple of days after I had my first surgery I bonked my noggin on the fridge-freezer door by accident and the “alien fish head” the floaters had taken form of in my eye after the surgery immediately morphed into the Hebrew letter Aleph then transformed into the letter Tzaddi then into another Hebrew letter and another as if that alien fish head was sending me a coded message! LoL The letters came so quickly and I could not find a pen fast enough nor remember what letters came nor in what order! My head was thumping from pain and I was trying to pick up what fell out of the freezer before it began to thaw so I wasn’t too worried about any secret messages at the moment. I do remember the very last symbol being the OM symbol then it faded and once again the alien fish head was sailing across my vision once more as if nothing occurred. *shrugs* Weird. After surgery on my opposite eye the floaters appeared more like a three dimensional star map with the Seven Sisters or Pleiades for a couple of days and no cryptic messages from it occurred however it was pretty to see for a short time.<br />
<br />
The world is beautiful again. Flowers. Trees. Grass. Clouds. Children. I see what Louis Armstrong meant when he sang, “What a wonderful world!” and I have to say when you have a hard time seeing as I did with all of the headaches from the eye strain is it any wonder you tend to get cranky and short with people? You know? If not, then perhaps you should try and imagine what it is like sometime.<br />
<br />
Second bit of good news is that I have decided to start a podcast. No I am not going back on the air as a disc jockey for a radio station because I have been there and did that and while that was fun while it lasted, I want to do my own thing at my own pace. I downloaded Audacity and am hoping to learn it well enough so that I can use it to make interesting podcasts for my listeners and fans who hopefully will enjoy the content and find it both entertaining as well as useful. So when will I come online? Not certain as of yet but I am shooting for Sept 30th albeit I may have one uploaded prior so watch my website's home page. ;)<br />
<br />
I am going to see if I can upload these podcasts to my website but if the size is too limited then obviously I will upload them to YouTube like everyone else but possibly Patreon where I may go instead so that I can offer select materials for Patreon supporters including downloadable content.<br />
<br />
Speaking of downloadable content I am currently working on some new downloadable materials to add to my site for my clients and considering moving what I already have to Patreon. Since I have left social media entirely I have a LOT more free time to devote to research and writing. Some old projects are starting to come to the forefront and I am itching to get them finished included books, booklets and downloads I have been putting off.<br />
<br />
MolochSorcery Website: if you will note I have removed some things from my website's Marketplace such as the “coffins” which I consider to be too powerful for <i>non-Initiates</i> because selling these to folks who are <i>not initiated</i> and having them complain they need me to teach them how to make them work is not going to work. <i>Coffins are not toys to play around with</i> because they are working tools and you need to know how to work with the Dead to get satisfactory results with coffins. This includes how to work in a cemetery - more than just your run-of-the-mill Hoodoo understanding as well! That’s not a slap at Hoodooists rather either it is a fact. I had a client who bought a coffin who told me he was initiated and yet could not get his coffin to work <i>even though he said he was taught how to work in a cemetery</i>. So rather than deal with this sort of situation in the future I decided not to sell coffins to the general public any longer. Same goes with the Urns of the Dead which is also a very potent tool that could potentially kill someone if mishandled. Dead customers goes against the general principle of good business.<br />
<br />
Product Focus: 7 Mighty Men is on sale until September 30th, 2019 and if you have yet to order 4 dram bottle of this amazing cologne and use it in your spiritual and occult practices, then you need to do so now! Why? Because it is the bomb! It will add life to any existing potion you purchased from any botanica, spiritual supply shop or metaphysical store which you felt didn’t work. Just add a single drop of 7MM, offer to the Four Corners using the ritual formula given on my website and see the results for yourself. It awakens the power of the potion so that it works as it originally was intended. <b>Order now while on sale for $50.00 USD for a 4 dram bottle and give it a try!</b> I use this formula regularly in all of my sorceries and Vodu workings and you should too!<br />
<br />
Book Review: I will soon have a review of Star Casas’ “The Conjure Workbook Volume 1: Working the Root” up on my website very soon so please look for it. Since my eyesight has returned I am back to reading far more than I have in the past decade and I want to post more book reviews of useful occult books that folks may find useful for their sorceries.<br />
<br />
Stay tuned for new developments as things heat up for me. :) the LWA & Ancestors are gearing up great things for me so I will be doing what I can to bring new items, ideas, spells/rituals and some surprises to you as days to come.<br />
<br />
And always remember,<b style="font-style: italic;"> you cannot let things happen on their own if you desire changes to occur in ways which satisfy you.</b><br />
<br />
Blessings,<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Greetings. This is a touchy subject but it is one that needs to be discussed all the same. For spiritual workers like myself who try to help others, we generally deal with Joe & Mary Sixpacks out there who typically are easy going types who only come to spiritual workers for simple requests such as Love Reuniting with an old flame/mate; or those on the job hunt or career change for a better life; the ones seeking to better their fortunes with business success; or the ones who merely want more money growth; or ones who seek justice and punishment against someone who did them wrong; healing work and so on.<br />
<br />
On rare occasions we get what we call the Toxic Client or that indivdual who is either so ignorant/stupid, abrasive or they try to come in and bark orders at you about how you should go about doing your spiritual work. This latter is often the case especially if they’re someone who is of the New Age persuasion and has branched out to try someone who is involved in the African Religions, Sorcery, Witchery, Hoodoo, ceremonial magicK, or some other form of serious mysticism that gets the job done.<br />
<br />
Case-in-Point: recently I had a very toxic indivdual come to me via another card reader albeit not a personal referral - rather they just told this person to find someone powerful in the “African Religions” OR Hoodoo. So this person found me and while they were well meaning, I don’t think the person had any clue as to HOW either I or any spiritual worker actually works because they came in like gang busters almost barking orders from moment one!<br />
<br />
Most of you who know me know that crapola doesn’t set well with me right off the start nor does it sit well with most spiritual workers let alone those who practice the African Religions as our spirits are hot which often affects the way we also think and behave. I was fine until I was told I “had” to use what this other reader’s divination said which is a big time no-no and then began telling me HOW I needed to work my strategy with my spirits. Excue me?<br />
<br />
This is partly MY FAULT for NOT being clear on my site about this sort of thing. Sadly there are those out there who think they possess the knowledge of how to do this just because they read a few books and have an advanced degree from some university (LOL as if). It’s just this was a Type A or Director type personality who came barging in expecting to bark orders and because they assumed they were paying me that I was meek and only going to say, “Aye, aye, captain!” They found out otherwise when I politely told them no then TRIED to educate them WHY not. Do you think this mattered? Nope. So lesson learned. No more education. Screw that nonsense! Moloch is NOT wasting his breath, fingers on the keyboard and precious time again (and do NOT ask why am I speaking in third person either!)<br />
<br />
Even though I had already performed an operation for this “person”, I refunded their monies to them. Big deal. I told my spirits about the whole ordeal. Sometimes the spirits Themselves get upset then will not only unravel the work but also make it WORSE than before all because a client had to be a Class A jerk which is not my problem.<br />
<br />
So if you get someone who comes in with someone else’s reading, first off do NOT take that as gospel. You MUST take your own reading on any given situation. Why? Because circumstances change. Your Divinatory powers may be more advanced than theirs are and you may see things either in a different light OR far more clearly. The second rule of thumb is you should never allow your client to dictate to you HOW you are to do your JuJu. It’s your talent, years of study & practice, knowledge, expertise and so on they are seeking out not the othe way around. Some people have this Director mentality where they believe they can barge in and steam roll you into doing whatever they desire. That is nonsense and never allow that to occur. IF you do not allow that in your personal life then do not allow it in your spiritual practice.<br />
<br />
I agreed to help this person against my better judgment. In short, this individual comes barrellng in like a Stormtrooper trying to tell me what this “other reader” says (whom by the way I never heard of( and I am supposed to take their divination as Gospel because the client is enamored with it. Then the client goes behind my back deciding they are going to try and do JuJu on their own without consulting me first - especially something potent like the Uncrossing Ritual which stirs garbage up both from inside and around a person as well as extricates toxic people from your personal sphere of influence which this individual needs at this point and cannot afford to lose. The Uncrossing Rite is really NOT the best thing to begin in the middle of a spiritual workers regimen because it can cause more harm than good. Ideally it should be done before (or even after) a spiritual worker’s work has begun.<br />
<br />
They came to me because their life is a horrid mess with everything from legal problems to family crisis issues to personal health issues to work & money catastrophes - you name it, this individual has it going on in their life like being born under a bad sign. They thought my spiris may be of help which was a great idea but sadly they thought THEY were going to get to choose which of my spirits worked on their situation. LoL Seriously! So I had to try to educate them which had zero effect other than infuriating them further and I said “Screw this! I can’t work with someone who refuses my counsel!” Because I am not a machine where you come, insert coins, push a button and out pops whatever you want. So I opted out. We parted company and I decided never to try and educate clients again. You either get it or you do not. If you do not, then you immediately get dropped. Simple as that. I’ve had other spiritual workers concur with me on this point.<br />
<br />
You have to take a stand somewhere with such toxic clients who feel just because they are paying you that they have the right to tell you how to do things. That’s NOT how things are done. Again I am not the most expensive out there nor am I least but I’ll be damned if I am going to be kicked around like some dog. I do enjoy helping people. I have plenty of people who tell me they like my work and appreciate what I do for them and others that I do not need to bend over to these hateful jerks who think just because they wave a few dollars my way I have to jump when they say “Jump!” It does not work like that with me nor should it with you! Be aware. They are out there and they ARE toxic.Moloch's Sorceryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11261341252837940356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669242718827366477.post-51466492762852157222019-06-20T13:17:00.000-04:002019-06-20T13:17:41.370-04:00Occultists Are Not Superbeings<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
[<b>CAUTION</b>: this blog uses lots of personal opinions and naughty words in case you are a sensitive soul. Be forewarned before being offended!]<br />
<br />
<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>There seems to be some confusion among folks out there that once you start practicing the occult and working with spirits, making pacts, even joining an African religion, that you somehow become immune to all harm, disease, illness and even death. I really do not understand this notion because it is wholly false and misguided. Whoever is putting these ideas into your head is evil and making you look just plain stupid.<br />
<br />
<i>Caveat Emptor aka Bullshit Sellers</i><br />
<br />
I do know of one occult organization which I USED to be associated with years ago who began to propate this idiotic nonsense to their membership and sold "energized waters" and all sorts of faked "Atlantean" products which were nothing more than bottled water charged on a radionic machine. The guy solid tonics & elixirs which he originally bought as flavored brandies and other liquors and again merely put them on a radionic machine to "charge" them. Ugh. Yet this asshat would sell this shite for unholy amounts of money to his membership and his 'catalog'. Trust me that con artist isn't the only one out there pulling this sort of scam as there are tons of others doing the same even born-again cults with energized holy waters, waters from the so-called River Jordan, "Blessed Waters of Life" and everything else. I heard all sorts of "Life Extension Technologies" discussion talks when I was with this old organization as our fearless leader would babble on and on like a mental patient about this drivel on how we could live so much longer by buying this product when all the jerk wanted was our $$$. I was having none of it. Caveat emptor: let the buyer beware!<br />

<i>Immortality? LoL Death Comes For Us All</i><br />
<br />
<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Sorcery, magic and spirits do not make one impervious to harm or death. When it is your time to die, guess what? Death is coming to take you. End of the story. Why people think anyone is somehow Superman just because they learn how to burn candles, create talismans, summon spirits or even make pacts with denizens of the Nether world is beyond me.<br />
<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>What these misguided folk fail to understand is that your fate is still in your own hands. For instance if you eat unhealthy foods then you will reap unhealthy benefits to your body and the spirits won’t give a damn. Why? Well it’s <i>not</i> Their fault you shove junk into your body or smoke cigarettes/vape, drink alcohol in ridiculous amounts, take unknown pills from strangers just to get a buzz - all of that ignorant shit is on YOU, Jack!<br />
<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Sure you made a pact with X spirit but even if you asked for a long life the spirit is under no obligation to oblige. Why? Well your deal was made it was with the understanding that you are going to do everything within your own power to live as long as you can as well as you can. (Hello McFly? Anyone home?) You simply cannot sign on with a spirit, even activate your Head Spirit or HGA then go out and act like a moron consuming junk, drinking like a god’s damned fool at every party - and yes even your HGA or Head Spirit loves to tie one on once in a while but NOT EVERY BLOODY TIME! Or smoke like chimney &/or imbibe pills at every turn even if you have actual pain.<br />
<br />
<i>Head Spirits, HGAs & Invulnerability</i><br />
<br />
<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Further you are not impervious to harm so slow the hell down because if you expect your Head Spirit, HGA or some pact spirit to save your idiot skin for driving like a moron behind the wheel of a vehicle then you very well may be one of the dumbest living beings in all of creation behind the domestic turkey. Possibly you <i>might</i> live to survive an automotive wreck then you get to deal all of the fallout from Johnny Law, the courts, and etc because as my late sheriff deputy friend used to say, "It's not IF but WHEN you either get caught speeding or wrap yourself around a pole that happens because you cannot always account for the other driver's reaction to you."<br /> Frankly I’m of the opinion far too many people are being given Head Spirits when they have not demonstrated the least level of common sense and most of the ones who claim they have their HGA are just imagining their Nativity Angel as their HGA which is utter horseshit since those are two separate spirits and have nothing to do with one another.<br />
<br />
<i>You Are Watching Too Many Movies... Again!</i><br />
<br />
<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>If you believe you wield magic like the Ancient One or Dr Strange and cannot be harmed then you are not long for this world of the living - make preparations for how you wish to buried because you my friend are a simpleton and need to purge that crap OUT of your head before you either hurt yourself or someone else. If you can still stub your toe, smash your thumb and choke on a glass of liquid then guess what? Your body is every bit as human and susceptible to harm as the rest of ours is and it’s high time you wake up and realize it.<br /><br /><i>Can't the Occult Extend Your Life?</i><br /><br />
<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Yes IF you do your part and again you “must do” <i>your part</i>. I have met some very old occult practitioners who seemingly defied age but alas even they succumbed to the forces of death eventually. It is the way of Second Law of Thermodynamics or the fact everything runs down. These folks outlived what seemed to be their normal life spans by 30 years or more because as they told me their family members all perished at early ages due to one factor or another often family diseases. These folks ate well, avoided junk foods - well sparingly ate it because as one told me “Ya gotta have your Twinkies once in a while but not every week or what is life about? LoL” - exercised, found a companion to share life with and looked for contentment not happiness. Why not happiness? One elderly lady told me, “Happiness is elusive and always either out of reach or beyond where one can have; but contentment is where you choose to make do and enjoy your self-worth as well as what you already have. Learn to accept that and rest falls into place.”<br />
<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>So to sum up all this, I’d like for you to walk away with the understanding that just because you’re going to start practicing the occult and walking the path you are <i>not</i> nor never will be Superman/Supergirl impervious to any harm because while your ancestors may step in once in a while to guard you from harm They are not always going to wipe your bum for you! Grow up and take responsibility, act like an adult, behave and stop doing downright STUPID things you know are inching you closer to the grave and just do the right things and you'll live a much better, longer life span.Moloch's Sorceryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11261341252837940356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669242718827366477.post-10581558648856719122019-04-10T03:52:00.000-04:002019-04-10T03:54:38.701-04:00Non-Vedic Karma VS A New Paradigm<br />
Excerpt from my forthcoming sorcery book:<br />
<br />
I often hear a lot of people lay claim to a term that they claim they know a great deal about but when I begin to question them, I soon discover their knowledge of the subject is vastly limited. No I’m not talking about necromancy or sorcery but rather I’m speaking of actual karma or Vedic karma.<br />
<span style="white-space: pre;"><br /></span>It seems over the years from the time Madam Blavatsky and her Theosophical Society introduced this concept to the west, somehow occultists somehow twisted this idea up into a new age idea that doesn’t even remotely resemble the original Vedic belief.<br />
<span style="white-space: pre;"><br /></span>Honestly I cannot say if it was Blavatsky & her Theosophical crew who mangled this ancient idea OR if it was some later well meaning occultist who did it but somehow the idea of Vedic karma which had to do with your reincarnation into the next life got mangled into some new age notion that “what goes around comes around”.<br />
<span style="white-space: pre;"><br /></span>Now do I personally believe in “karma”? Vedic karma perhaps however the jury is out on that one. Frankly it is a cultural belief that Blavatsky stole from India and brought to the west in the late 1800's. Prior to this time, you cannot find any idea, thought nor belief of any sort that even remotely resembles Vedic karma other than Judeo-Xian concept of eternal salvation/suffering for your deeds during this lifetime. (And that’s a very poor example.)<br />
<span style="white-space: pre;"><br /></span>Also I’m not one for whites stealing ideas from indigenous cultures and using them as if they were their own. Believe it or not white folks have stolen numerous ideas, beliefs and practices from countless indigenous cultures then assimilated them as their own - over centuries. I find this practice in poor taste to say the least and that’s being as polite as I can about it.<br />
<span style="white-space: pre;"><br /></span>So people often ask me, <i>“Well gee Moloch, if you don’t believe in Karma or ‘What goes around, comes around’, then what DO you believe?”</i> Okay here is what I believe for the record, I do not believe non-Vedic new age Karma or the adage "what goes around, comes around" however I certainly DO believe <i><b>“Stupid actions will result in bad consequences to the degree of stupidity expended!"</b></i> This means when cousin Wilbur is tanked up on a 24 pack of Budweiser and he wants to jump a home made ramp on his four wheeler, there is a strong likelihood something bad is going to happen to him. No “Karma” involved, just bad consequences for a stupid decision.<br />
<span style="white-space: pre;"><br /></span>If your neighbor Jeffie gets caught stealing from his mom’s purse, that’s <i>not</i> Karma, rather that is a stupid decision and a bad consequence will eventually result. It is like my late friend Bob who was a deputy Sheriff for 20 years said, <i>“It’s not IF you get caught but WHEN you get caught speeding and thus why Police never believe your story because we know you do it all the time - you’ve done it hundreds of times before. Everyone lies about driving fast so they deserve a ticket.”</i> A stupid decision to constantly speed WILL lead to eventually getting caught by the Police because you ‘always’ do it never thinking about your actions thus it is not Karma but simply a bad consequence of a stupid decision. Karma has nothing to do with this.Your personal choices will.<br />
<span style="white-space: pre;"><br /></span>Decisions garner consequences both good or bad and bad decisions will often result in bad consequences. Period. How hard is it for anyone reading this to grasp the concept? WHY must you turn it into something metaphysical when it is wholly unnecessary to do so? You’re being foolish and silly by doing that.<br />
<span style="white-space: pre;"><br /></span>Because worrying about Karma stymies your metaphysical work. You end up fretting over harming someone and thus do nothing which is anathema to being a Witch, MagiciKian or Sorcerer. These days even some Vodu Priests & Priestesses a.k.a. Houngans & Mambos respectively, as well as Santeros & Santeras, and other African practitioners are buying into new age Karma nonsense which has no place in African cosmology. None.<br />
<span style="white-space: pre;"><br /></span>Ask yourself, <i>“Why did I choose to leave my childhood religion and become a ___ (Witch, Occultist, Sorcerer, & etc.)”</i> Most likely it is because you sought freedom from the confines of the patriarchal beliefs faith and all of it’s “Thou Shalt Not’s”. However you join a spiritual belief system only to instill yet MORE of the same mystical nonsense in the form of a belief that has no basis in fact because it is a twisted form of the original belief from the Sanskrit and that was all about reincarnation. For the love of Aphrodite, why??? You didn’t have enough shackles in the old belief system so you want more in your new one? Is total freedom too much for you to handle??<br />
<span style="white-space: pre;"><br /></span>Some people can’t handle total freedom so they need shackles of rules and conformity. Okay that’s you but STOP preaching Karma is for everyone, jerkoff because you sound exactly like those damned Baptist preachers who go around telling everyone including yourself that we’re all going to Hell if we don’t repent. (Ringing any bells here bub?)<br />
<span style="white-space: pre;"><br /></span>It is fine if you wish to adopt new age Karma for yourself genius <i><b>but it is not all right for you to proclaim it as gospel for the rest of us!</b></i> Period. End of story. If you disagree with that latter statement, then you have either disregarded everything I have stated previously due to your pigheaded mentality OR you’ve been lured in by the new age authors who have you believing you must wander and preach Karma to the masses like you’re some half-witted prophet.<br />
<span style="white-space: pre;"><br /></span>No one is saying you’re wrong for believing what you wish to believe. Hell if you desire to believe we’re all just amoebas floating in a cosmic petri dish, be my guest <i><b>but to go around telling others new age Karma is “true” is a damn lie</b></i> <i><b>when it certainly is NOT!</b></i> If you think I am wrong here then PROVE it is true. Be my guest. Prove to me, beyond a reasonable doubt, with evidence that would convince a jury of my peers in a court of law. If not, then you cannot prove it.<br />
<br />Try switching your paradigm to reflect bad decisions cause bad consequences for a change and you will begin to see life in a whole new light and you will also begin to realize you can work your JuJu without fear of reprisal. This should be a big help to get many things done which you held off in the past so that you can achieve more for your life all by dropping a goofy new age belief and adopting a cold, clinical rational one instead.Moloch's Sorceryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11261341252837940356noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669242718827366477.post-1989463747759348062019-03-27T09:14:00.001-04:002019-03-27T09:26:23.463-04:00From Guede to the Ancestors: Adding to the Litany<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I was saddened to hear that Pagan author Edain McCoy passed away from the influenza virus recently. She makes the third Pagan author in March that has left our world to journey on as D.J. Conway and Raven Grimassi both have passed away in as many weeks in this month.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Even though I may not have been a huge fan of their literary works should not mean I do not get sad when our people pass on. For one thing, they spent their lives not only sharing their metaphysical beliefs with the world trying to be good representatives yet also showing they were human not someone who should be placed upon pedestals which all too often happens to evangelists in mainstream religions.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="white-space: pre;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Secondly they also shared their knowledge and experience through their written words and regardless of whether you or I agree with what they wrote they influenced a lot of folks. Some of whom left mainstream religions and began walking a path of alternative spirituality. That alone speaks volumes about them and their character.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It bothers me today when the occult/metaphysical communities worry and cry over some actor or musician passing away than they do one of their own. I find that rather sad in its own right. Here you have someone in your own backyard who has toiled to help make our world a better place often speaking out against mainstream religious persecution, tyrannical beliefs and overt hubris as well as spending time with Novices who contact them begging help impinging on their time, efforts and resources and in other ways you cannot begin to imagine.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Yet I see the Pagan/occult community throw out contrived grief when musicians, actors, race car drivers, sports figures, and other “celebrities” die even from stupid accidents which could easily have been avoided had they used a wee bit of common sense instead of taking more drugs or imbibing more liquor. But these celebrities are cherished even though none of them aren’t known personally yet the communities act as if these fake celebrities were a part of our communities.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">And when was the last time David Bowie, Anthony Bourdain, Penny Marshall, Alan Rickman or any other of the other celebrities ever donated their time, money or resources to helping OUR communities? Hmmm? When? Please tell me. Do you know of any specific time when a big name musician, actor, sports figure or someone else donated any of their time or resources to help <i>OUR COMMUNITY?</i> If not then pray tell what are you crying over? Because they got paid for their entertaining and believe you me they were paid very well for it. So you need not shed too many tears over them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="white-space: pre;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Yet when one of our own celebrated authors pass on, nary a word is said about it, and I highly doubt any of you shed one single tear for them! Did you bother to even light a single candle in their memory? Probably not. <i>Maybe</i> now you will after my prodding, if you're not too stingy but you should not have to be impelled to do something like this in the first place.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I was saddened when Andrew Chumbley died at such a young age in his mid-30's again even though I wasn’t a huge fan of his occult works yet he was another author who managed to reach out and touch a lot of souls through his occult writings. When you can do this sort of thing and influence people in a way that helps bolster their confidence to pick up their broken lives and carry on in the face of disparaging odds, it says something about you as an author, a teacher and a person. It means the spirits have blessed you. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">And we will never know exactly how many people our celebrated community authors like Gerald Gardner, Stewart Farrar, ‘Horrible’ Herman Slater, Ophiel, William G. Gray, Israel Regardie, Isaac Bonewits, Dorene Valiente, Patricia & Arnold Crowther, Sybil Leek, Margot Adler, and of course modern authors like Don Michael Kraig, D.J. Conway, Raven Grimassi & more recently Edain McCoy had on Novices to join our Pagan and occult communities. We can only guess and that is pure speculation at best since there is no way to do any sort of accurate census.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i>Why Care? They’re Just Authors Anyway!</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">To me, these metaphysical, occult and Pagan authors are more than just mere authors. They are philosophers, thinkers, believers, doers and their books offer hope in the form of knowledge coupled with wisdom of their workings sprinkled with anecdotes sometimes with mistakes showing you what NOT to do.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In a sense they’re friends and advisors which is hard to get especially when you’re alone in a world surrounded by a bunch of knee-jerk reactionaries from a mainstream religion whose only belief is intolerance to all other spiritual ideas, regardless of what they may be nor how benign they are. And believe you me, that in itself can be a warm comforting thought when you’re alone.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I also consider occultists, Pagans and even New Agers part of my “extended” tribe. Yes I’ve moved on from these practices since the early 2000's however I still feel friendly towards these folk because this is where I began, these are my roots if you will and so these folk are part of my extended tribe or family. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i>From Guede to the Litany</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As I’ve written before, I use a litany in my spiritual work or my family members to call their names so that They will not be forgotten when I work with my Ancestors. This isn’t anything I was taught but rather something I myself came up with simply as a device to help me keep family members and select loved ones coming to the Ancestral shrine.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Also, as I’ve stated elsewhere about the Ancestral shrine, it is permissible to add non-family members to your shrine if you desire - that is so long as your Ancestors agree. This means you need to get the permission of your Ancestors first before adding photographs and images to the shrine.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">However my Ancestors have informed me that it does not harm anyone to use “litanies” of names for those whom you love, respect and admire who have passed on from this plane of existence. This means it is all right to write out a list of names of deceased folks whom you admire and respect and call out to them to simply say “You are not forgotten!” Now it is not necessary to do anything else meaning you do not need to give these extra names any water nor candles nor any photographs, just recite their names is all. You are doing this purely out of respect.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I have begun to use a litany of names of folks I deem worthy of respect from the occult, Pagan and metaphysical communities whose achievements I feel are worthwhile and warrant to be remembered for more than mere lip service by people talking good or bad about their book now and then. For me, this is working out well because it does not interfere with my regular family litany which of course I do first, attend to their needs then I recite the litany of author names who I feel are worthy. Whether you feel this one should be included or excluded is moot because that is none of your concern. If you wish to create your own Author Litany, then you are welcome to do so at your leisure and I recommend you do so as well as created a Family Litany as I have previously stated. Remember they do not have to be an author to be added to your litany either as a friend who was an occultist, Pagan or New Ager can also be added.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Give this a go and let me know how this is working out for you. I feel over time, we may be able to turn these former authors into community saints if you will but then that is an essay for another time which I will get to.</span>Moloch's Sorceryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11261341252837940356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669242718827366477.post-30559564732289857122019-02-07T11:52:00.001-05:002019-02-07T11:52:13.500-05:00Ancestral Salute & A Skull Cleansing<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div align="left" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I’m
really not interested in hearing a lot of kvetching going on about
certain practices labeled intensive yet this is exactly what I end up
hearing from many of you about them. “They’re too difficult!”
or “They take up too much of my time!” yet these self-same people
are adept at memorizing sports statistics of their favorite teams for
the past 20 to 30 years OR in-depth lines from their favorite films.
Really? C’mon now. How is that any sort of excuse?
</span></div>
<div align="left" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div align="left" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">It
amazes me how easy it is for people to sit and memorize the LBRP
without any strain yet when asked to do so, people have difficulty
memorizing the Weedly Ancestral Salute? Seriously? You can memorize
that and perform it in less than sixty seconds and that’s going at
a leisurely pace. So what is the big issue here? I don’t understand
other than laziness? And believe me, you’re talking to the
put-off-until-later king here.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div align="left" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Weekly
ancestral salutes help bring you closer to your ancestors and as
stated previously not just your familial ancestors but also
Humanity’s Ancestors as well whom you share as a common bond thus
you need to spend time saluting Them out of respect even when you
believe your familial ancestors were a no-good lot and they very well
may be but that’s not for us to judge as the rest of the ancestors
will judge them.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div align="left" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<i><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">W.I.I.f.M.</span></i></div>
<div align="left" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div align="left" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Every
person always wonders the BIG QUESTION or WIIFM what’s in it for
me? When it comes to doing anything for someone else, this question
always pops up in one form or another. Else why would you bother to
don multi-colored robes, burn smelly incense, wave painted sticks in
the air, chant words, phrases & barely intelligible names and so
on? Because you’re expecting a big payoff in the end.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div align="left" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Okay
so if you salute your ancestors, what’s in it for you? How about
blessings from your ancestors? Not enough? (Or you simply don’t
care?) How about you’ll get fewer hassles in life? Less headaches?
Stronger hunches to avoid things? Even to go so far as that little
voice in the back of your mind will practically begin to SHOUT
warnings at you that you’ll stand up and take notice of!<br /></span></div>
<div align="left" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="left" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Would
you like some powers? No really. I’m talking actual powers. Now I’m
NOT suggesting anything out of the ordinary here of course however
you do have the potential to be a cut above so you have at least one
gift to develop and your ancestors can help you develop it. Of course
They will not do it all for you just because you asked nor because
you wanted Their help. However They can greatly facilitate your
ability to gain metaphysical abilities that you felt were completely
above and beyond you.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div align="left" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">First,
you must make contact with your ancestors. This is the most important
part. Ideally I always recommend to a Novice that s/he spends at
least 30 days of contact saluting and talking to their ancestors.
Why? Because 30 is a solid number of time and shows you have
committed to Them a block of time dedicated in calling and welcoming
Them into your domicile.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div align="left" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Secondly,
you also must also spend some time letting your ancestors know what
is going on in the world around you. Who is doing what, what is going
on with your current family, local/national news (yes read Them the
paper or at least the headlines on occasion), if you had relatives
who were sports fans then tell ‘em who won big games, if someone in
the family had a baby, show Them a photo of the baby and give the
child’s name, and so on. Draw Them into your life. These are going
to be more than just your honor guard.</span></div>

Them some strong coffee. Make it black. The dead love black coffee
even if they liked it with cream and sugar in life, serve it black
with sweetening packets next to cup and milk agent next to the cup as
well because many alive prefer their coffee black so give the spirits
Their coffee black. Always. Without fail. When you give Them
something be prepared to ask for something in return.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Are
you required to have cemetery dirt on your ancestral shrine? No, not
at all. You can however place a small dish of cemetery dirt ‘under’
the shrine but do not put it on top of Their shrine. At least my
ancestor spirits do not like dirt on Their shrine like that. In fact,
mine will put up with some dust on Their shrine but not me putting
actual dirt, even cemetery dirt, on their shrine unless They
specifically ask for such to be placed on there.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Unlike
grimoire spirits, ancestor spirits prefer to earn what They are
given. Ceremonial MagicKians are wont to either to GIVE things to
grimoire spirits willy nilly OR not give spirits anything because
it’s just some old spirit listed in a grimoire whereas the
ancestors prefer to earn Their keep so remember to ask for what it is
you truly desire and be respectful about it meaning try not to ask
for the moon. Although this doesn’t mean you cannot ask for large
requests, just break it down into manageable steps and ask for the
steps that you are able to attain with a little help from them.</span></div>

packet of cemetery dirt</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">What
you do is turn the skull over and take your ritual dagger and hollow
out some of the wax from the bottom of the skull candle. The hole
does not have to be too deep but you want it to be such that you
could put your forefinger into it. Then place a few drops of the
Kabala oil into the hole and say <i>"Mars Thincsus"</i> as you do this. Then
sprinkle in a tiny pinch of the cemetery dirt. Now place a relic of
yours in the hole be it a nail paring, hair (can be from your head,
leg, big toe, wherever you can get one), then use a burning candle
and drip some wax over the hole to close it. Now flip the skull
candle back over and set it on a ceramic plate. Dress the candle with
the Kabala oil as you say, <i>“O Mars Thincsus, defend and banish
all evil from me!”</i><span style="font-style: normal;">
</span><span style="font-style: normal;">continuously as you rub the
Kabala oil on the candle until it is fully coated.</span></span></div>

some incense such as frankincense while facing East. Meditate on
yourself and the issues that are plaguing you. Ask your ancestors to
come to your aid to help give you relief while asking Tyr to lead
your ancestors to victory on your behalf. Dab a bit of the Kabala oil
on your forehead & chest. Breathe deep and get yourself into a
relaxed state of mind. Lower your heart rate and calm your mind.[1]

There
seems to be a consensus among certain select “practitioners” and
I use that term loosely because these folks tend to be more
judgmental worrying about what you are doing rather than what they
themselves are accomplishing, running around kvetching over whether
or not you or I are making $$$ off our occult work. I know, I know
this silly old yarn rearing its ugly head once more instead of
otherwise intelligent people just going about normal jobs and personal practice of the occult.</span><br />
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">Why
this is an issue yet again I do not know. I thought ceremonial
magicKians were smarter than this nonsense yet I see they’re merely
run-of-the-mill gossips caught up in drama to the point it’s become
ridiculous. The fact is there are no rules nor laws forbidding the
use of the occult to make $$$ with are there? Even so such a law is
called “Denying Yourself A Livelihood” when one iof these laws is
enacted. You have the right to study just about any profession there
is other than medicine, law or perhaps a mortician but otherwise most
professions allow you to study and work them from home and so long as
you follow state, federal & local laws there should be no reason
why you cannot go into business for yourself. Magic included.</span></span></div>

Is Being Self-Employed Worth It?</i></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">This
is the $64,000 question and one that only you can answer. It truly
has its pros and cons. First off you are your own boss. Let me repeat
that you are your own boss. You have to live with your own mistakes,
BS, failures, and all of the tedious nonsense that comes with not
making the cut which let’s face it if anyone says they never have
bad days, weeks or even bad months is an out and out liar. So don’t
listen to them or you will find yourself in the poor house soon
mumbling a bunch of phony “Rah! Rah!” hype that doesn’t work.
As your own boss, you must motivate yourself and stay motivated. Each
day is an adventure and you have to treat it like an 8-5 work work
day. Much of what you’ll do is custom work whether it’s blend an
oil to get it right, create a talisman from scratch, concoct a JuJu
bag or say a whole litany of prayers for a single client whose in
over their head.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"><i>But
Wait! There’s More!</i></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">When
you’re self employed, you’re never done working. Since many of us
utilize astrological aspects to our JuJu, these situations revolve
around select timings of morning, afternoon and many late night
hours. That can mean many missed TV shows or precious time with
family & loved ones but the work HAS to be done since you’re
being paid for it. You’re also having to constantly make runs to
stores to locate and pick up items for spells & rituals, to craft
items and ship finished products out to clients.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">Further
you’re reading and studying to keep up on some things you learned
a long while ago yet may have forgotten about. Thus why you keep a
library of books even when you have withdrawn the best of the
material into your notebooks for use later. Then you’ll have the
“help me!” runs where you’re involved making something or doing
prayers and you get that phone call to come to someone’s rescue for
(insert reason here) which just screws up your whole day and plan.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">One
top of all of this, your sleep patterns begin to get fubar’d due to
being up and down all hours of the day/night for rituals & spells. I don’t go through this myself today being initiated as
when I did prior years ago but still it’s a hassle. Then you have
to do the accounting – not just your income or all of that
lovely headache but also your inventory of what you have on hand at
any given time because when you don’t have the Healing bath ready
to ship or all the necessary ingredients guess what? Do you get a
client who wantst that bath? NOOOOO! You get three clients who want to purchase Healing
baths. And one of them wants it yesterday.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">And
on top of all of this, you still somehow have to continue to hone
your own methods and techniques. You also have to explore and delve
into new territories and vistas else you will never grow. So you have
to determine just how much work you can reasonably take on and deal
with. Remember you’re thinking, “Well I’m my own boss so I can
work whenever I want!” Uh no you can’t. You only have 24 hours in
a day’s time there bub and that’s 1,040 minutes. Hello? May seem
like a lot but you know darn well how easy ti is for all of it to
vanish when you’re screwing around on the Net, drinking or
smoking with someone, watching the tube, taking that *cough, cough*
“short” nap, and so many other time wasters.</span></span></div>

most folks who want to be their own boss have never bothered to take
so much as a time management course in their life to help them
measure, sort quantify & qualify their time which is their most
precious commodity. Once time is gone, it’s gone and you can never
retrieve it.</span></span></div>

$$$$$ is your sole motivation, then no it’s not the right thing for
you.</i> You need to find work that truly interests you whether it's repairing bicycles or lawnmowers, cutting hair & doing makeup, being an Uber driver or selling on Etsy, do what you love to do not what you THINK will make you the most money.<br /><br />Look, Metaphysical work is not for
everyone. You have to have this in your blood OR have a calling to
it. Some of us have a calling because of our initiations unlike those
so-called initiations you get from questionable “spirits” you
play around with. There’s a dufus from South America who fancies
himself an African Religious Practitioner yet also a “Ceremonial
MagicKian” who runs around pontificating on how, what, why and so
on about Haitian Vodu and other African spiritual practices. This
dufus has only hearsay to go by since he’s not initiated into
Haitian Vodu so whatever he has to say is third hand info at best. He
may be a construction worker but do you take electrical advice form a
mason tender because he too works on a construction site? OR do you ask an actual electrician? If you
want to know about Ifa, ask someone who practices Ifa; if you want to
know about Santeria, ask someone who practices Santeria; if you want
to know about New Orleans Voodoo, ask someone who practices New
Orleans Voodoo; but if you want to know about Haitian Vodu, then ask
someone who actually practices Haitian Vodu, not some wannabe
pretender.<br />

There are pitfalls just as there are working in
retail aside from the hassles I mentioned previously:</span></span></div>

<b>Too </b><b>M</b><b>any </b><b>C</b><b>lients </b><b>V</b><b>ying
for </b><b>Y</b><b>our </b><b>T</b><b>ime</b> – it may seem the
crazy thing but when you have too many trying to hit you up for work,
this gets tricky and you need to know when to back off and say “thank
you but my plate is full”. Know your limitations. Learn when to be
able to tell clients I cannot or cannot right at this time. IF they
want you bad enough, they’ll wait until you have time for them.
I’ve had some clients wait as long as a year before I could get to
them.</span></span></div>

<b>Clients Wanting the Moon & Then Some</b> – here your client
wants it all. Leave nothing out. They send you a long list of desires
in a working and they want it all to come to pass. These folks watch
far too much TV.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<b>Clients Trying to Nit Pick How Your Working Needs to Work</b> –
these folks think they’re ordering off a menu and that your spells
& spirits can simply give them exactly what they while excluding
other things. These clients also watch far too much TV and need to
get a clue. </span></span>

<b>I’ve Gone Through X Spellcasters Until I found You!</b> - this
is often (though not always) the greeting of financially broke and
wishful thinker. Look, I realize a lot of people out there are
financially stuck be they on disability, welfare, meager pensions or
hell sometimes they’re homeless with zip to their name. Here’s
where you have to determine how many of these you are able to and
going to help of your own accord. Your resources are not unlimited as
candles, oils, and so forth are not cheap so unless you’re one of
those who says they do all of their JuJu with their “mind power” then lemme know, I’ll send these folks over to you 'Mr. Mind Power'.</span></span></div>

<b>Clients Who Want Something Unethical</b> – hey I’m NOT
preaching here. Merely saying IF you get a client who wants something
you’re just not willing to do or uninterested in doing, then this
is a thing and it’s often a semi/regular thing and you have to deal
with it. For instance I seem to attract female clients whose men have wandered, gotten some
other woman pregnant so the first woman wants me to use my JuJu & Spirits to abort the fetus. If you threw some poor tenants out into the
freezing cold then I have no issues screwing you over with JuJu however I'm not going to take your female ego issues out on an unbordn child. </span></span></div>

<b>You Finish With A Client – and They Want More</b> – this isn’t
a really big deal unless you have other clients waiting and as I
mentioned in #1, you only have so much time on your plate. So you
finish with a client, they’re happy and “Oh by the way….”
which is a common thing. You need to be able to say, Okay but back to
the end of the line as nicely as possible. Unless you can find that
big fish who wants you to just work for him/her alone and be on their
payroll. (Good l uck with that!)</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Sometimes it's just better NOT to get involved with a client in the first place. That's why I have a list of people I refuse to work for which I've been circulating among select practitioners as a way to forewarn others of people who are hard to deal with (want the moon, nit pickers, require you to contact them daily, won't pay balances, and etc) Why get involved with someone who may have issues when they are a total mess to begin with?</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">It’s
not what everyone thinks about when they make these idiotic comments or statements in groups/chat rooms about metaphysicians doing their spiritual work for
$$$$ but rather the fact there's sour grapes at all. So how about you shut the fuck up, mind your own damn business and
everything will sort itself out, okay? No one asked you to try to
solve a problem that doesn’t exist nor to create one either! You
can’t stomach those of us who sell our abilities? Fine. Unfriend
us. Ignore us even but stop trying to make this an issue when there is no
issue, fool.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">Now
if you want to make $$$$$ with sorcery, then I highly suggest getting
a sales job. Find a good one NOT one of those stupid MLM ones as
they’re garbage. Why? Because you don’t need to be worrying
about recruiting, training, managing nor motivating a down-line
while you are out trying to sell your products & services. Hello?
Do one thing and do it well. Let someone else recruit, train & manage. That’s how MLM companies screw you over. Focus on selling.
If you can’t sell, the go become a manage somewhere.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">Selling
is not easy albeit it’s not impossible to learn and do. First find a
product/service people need AND want, then find a company who
provides it with a 1099 commission package (generous commission
structure, bonuses, etc), obtain a position with them (jupiter,
Venus & Mercury will be good for this), get trained (Mercury),
and start selling (Mercury). You can also use plenty of old time
Witchcraft spells like Money Aid, Change My Luck, along with a host
of occult oils, JuJu bags, dolls & poppets, candles, images,
talismans, you name it. You can even employ things like biofeedback
to help you reduce your stress without using drugs (in case your
company randomly test), meditation to help you find new clients &
ideas, and so on.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">So
to sum up, there’s no issue at all. Just merely a few rabble
rousers who have nothing going on in their lives so they want to stir
the pot. They need to go back to their IT/IS jobs or whatever most
CM’s do for a living these days, and let everyone else deal with
their own work. No one cares about them or their petty issues so
they’re trying to make drama. Nothing more. If you continue to
listen to these people you’ll get caught up in the hoopla and hype
along with their tent revival histrionics.</span></span></div>

Old Argument Rears Up Once More<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /><br />Recently in an online discussion group, an individual professed to the group that gods and spirits do not exist thus why he could not work the old grimoires as stated in their instructions. Now this is his belief and you may wonder why ol’ Moloch here got his dander up over this, right? Well these online groups have a tendency to attract a LOT of folks who are new to occultism, sorcery & magic as well as many who are fence sitters where such things are often argued and hashed out. I’d like to take a moment and give some rational explanations as to why I feel anyone who makes a full fledged statement to the negative on this subject is not an occultist but rather someone dressing up and just pretending to be one.<br />
<br />
<i>Leprechauns Don’t Exist!</i><br />
<br />
The chap’s argument stemmed around his “fact” that Leprechauns do not actually exist. Really? According to whom? By what authority? Oh I’m not talking about the little thieving miscreants we know and love from Irish folklore who wear green attire, hoard gold and hide their stash at the end of rainbows. Of course those are just caricatures of our imaginations of what the Leprechauns looked like. However in every myth, every bit of folklore there are kernels of truth IF you’re not to bloody lazy to get off your fat duffs and dig for these kernels.<br />
<br />
Rather I’m talking about ancient Irish warrior spirits whose job it was to guard clan & community treasuries. These spirits are ancestral spirits of the dead. Some may even refer to Them as the Mighty Dead as a number of them were magical practitioners when alive. They leaned on canes as they grew in age which came to be known as their shillelagh. Also the reason the shamrock was sacred to Them was due to it was used in Their magic when alive. However there is a lot of misconceptions about these spirits due to the wild tales told by drunks and folks who passed on the tales of these spirits to the point Their exploits became near godlike.<br />
<br />
The issue modern practitioners have about spirits is plenty but the main one is they buy into this modern fable of scientism and it’s bastard child Psychology which tells us spirits are nothing more than “archetypes”, “psychosis”, “complexes”, “beliefs” all part of our “collective unconscious”. These psycho-babble terms are 60+ y/o terms Psycho-quacks came up with in an attempt to explain the unexplainable because as we all know when Psychologists cannot figure out something, they invent a label for it then pin it on you. These labels are a kinder way of trying to inform you that such experiences are only in your head aka ‘figments of your own imagination’. In other words, you’re bloomin’ nuts, amigo.<br />
<br />
So what does modern psychology do? Refer you to a psychiatrist, the even wackier version of a psychologist who has a MD degree and can dispense mind altering drugs such as Paxil, Prozac, Effexor or Zoloft to manage your obvious bi-polar disorder. Why? Well rational people DON’T talk to spirits, mate! Well what about Jesus, Yahweh, Allah, Buddha and so forth? Typically those spirits don’t talk back and give useful answers to Joe & Mary Sixpack. This is what modern science thinks about your spiritual beliefs and personal experiences with these denizens. So is it any wonder a goodly number of you are only interested in just “Ritual Drama” a.k.a. Live Action Role Playing for occultists for your so-called magicK? You’re too afraid to give real spirit contact a try because you fear you may be successful then you’ll have not only zero excuses you’ll also have spirits talking back to you and that terrifies you. Admit it.<br />
<br />
<i>Spirits DO Exist & Here’s Why...</i><br />
<br />
What you and your non-believing brethren fail to understand is that the universe is a whole helluva lot bigger than the sum of your head. Yes you have a universe inside your noggin, certainly but that’s just micro-cosmic and it’s all about help YOU, Slim, not about fixing aunt Jenine's broken leg or cousin Buck’s impending prison sentence which you know is fixed by bloody criminal in the so-called justice system. Yet you believe you can waltz around inside your noggin either working pathways like ceremonial magicKians are wont to do or meditate it away like new agers typically try and do. However as many of you know who have tried these methods (like I have way back when) they don’t do jack squat for anyone else.<br />
<br />
What I find humorous is that scientists tell us that our own galaxy is a vast 100,000 by 150,000 light years big which means to traverse our galaxy alone, we’d have to travel at the speed of light in a year’s time for 100,000 years to make it across one way alone. Then add another 50,000 years of travel to that time to make it across the other way. Hello, McFly anyone home? That is vast and we just live in a small part of our galaxy out near the edge of it. Then we’re told our (macro) universe is even more immense because its age is reputed to be well over 14,000,000,000 years old and though recently another group of scientists came out saying they believe the universe always was and it has no beginning and far to its size they believe its never ending.<br />
<br />
Mind boggling? Definitely. Yet you think we are all that’s out there? Our bits of carbon. Such hubris and arrogance. Every time a so-called educated individual comes out with such a proclamation, it’s not long that later we discover to find how wrong they were. Look at all of the learned men over the ages who made idiotic proclamations in the name of education and science that we later learned was flat out WRONG such as the earth was flat, the sun circled the earth, different weights fall at different speeds and other dubious claims that have been proven wrpmg with careful experimentation. Remember they also believed believed steel was too heavy to float on water to ever be useful to build a ship from unitl it was done in the Civil War. Then later it was a scientist who stated that driving faster than 35 mph would be impossible because we’d not be able to breathe. Or what about the dubious idiots of science who emphatically stated we could not ever fly because we are too heavy and don’t have wings. Or (my favorite) the geniuses who argued tooth and nail that it was impossible to send a man out into space. Not only did we do that but we also sent numerous missions to the moon and brought them back to tell their exploits.<br />
<br />
My point is that learned people with doctorates make idiotic claims all the fucking time. Just because you have a Ph.D does not mean you’re wiser than anyone else it means you are typically smarter in a select area of study for which you received recognition by your peers. That’s it. Even with that, look at how many people get degrees and are literal incompetents and morons in their own fields of study! Degrees are the results of test taking and some of these folks are just good at taking tests. It does not mean they’re better at doing their taxes, putting together Ikea furniture or rebuilding a Mitsubishi fuel injection system, all right?<br />
<br />
No I’m not against education. Not in the least. Rather I’m leery of everyone who claims they’ve got a degree, even physicians. Why? Because there’s a LOT of quacks out there practicing medicine who should NOT be practicing! We used to laugh at Frank Burns on MASH yet that sort of physician exists and if you know of one, you should stay away and steer all of your loved ones away from such a quack. Today psychologists don’t refer to themselves as “Psychologist” but rather “Therapist” which is a generic term that is often not as scary for the old head shrink. So before you open up about your spirit experiences to others, beware just WHO you’re going to blab your experiences to, amigo.<br />
<br />
<i>Spirit Do You Hear Me?</i><br />
<br />
One of the reasons I and many others get results in sorcery and primarily spirit work is that we use a formula that is both time tested and it works. First off we don’t buy into this bullshit that spirits only exist in our minds. Because when you take that approach, you have a tendency to be an asshole, a dictator, a my way or the highway sort of jerk. This is the premise the grimoires were written upon though I highly doubt the author’s knew squat about psychology rather they were trying to bully the spirit into submission through screaming holy names of Yahweh at it all because those dimwits mistakenly believed Yahweh created the universe. Why would they believe that if it weren’t ture? LoL Well chalk that up to a well done marketing strategy by Jews and those who were so enamored of the Hebrew Qabala. They didn’t realize the trappings of the Hebrew QBL such as the names, the Tree of Life glyph, the manuals like Zohar, the mythology such as Solomon’s temple being built by demons or Solomon and his entourage flying through the air on his magic carpet, and other mythological rigmarole just enthralls them. I know because it caught me up in its illusion as well for a decade.<br />
<br />
We’ve already seen that the universe is vast. We also have no clue what all is out there either since all our astronomers can see is just a tiny portion of the universe. The key is when you make sincere effort and call to a spirit, something will respond to the name you used to summon It with. Did you get that? If not re-read that last sentence once again. It does not matter if It is THE real YHVH, Zeus, Obatala, Thor, Quetzalcoatl, Wolf or whomever, it’s that SOMETHING out there WILL respond when you are sincere, use courtesy and respect in calling. Now the big issue with academics who don’t believe like the self-proclaimed Luciferian genius from the on-line group kvetching about gods, spirits and Leprechauns, is that guys like him are too flaky and chicken to really give this a chance. Why? Because he’s an egotistical prick.<br />
<br />
Think about it. Most academics are egotistical and this is one reason why so many incorrect assumptions and proclamations are publicly put forth then later retracted. Categorically speaking a wise academic withholds judgment until the evidence shows up however what I run into are the ones who refuse to even TRY summoning a spirit. In fact, if they try to summon a spirit typically it goes something like this: the academic stands in the well made circle, reads the general invocation for the spirit to appear and if the academic cannot see anything in a few moments, s/he deems the operation a useless waste of time and the whole thing is utter rubbish. They then go about claiming the medieval magicians ingested some form of hallucinogen whereby they spoke to a figment of their own imagination. That’s the extent of their “scientific experimentation” and they move on back to their harping that Crowley was right spirits are just aspects of one’s mind while continuing to wear their skeptic’s hat.<br />
<br />
<u><i>Tell Me About You</i></u><br />
<br />
So when someone tries to force you to do something, especially with a negative bent to their voice or malicious attitude, how cooperative are you towards them? Be realistic here. Not talking about judges mind you since when we’re all in front of those guys it’s the only situation where I think any of us have to listen to their BS and put up with it OR else. But say anyone else? If someone were to call you out of the blue and insist, nay demand you come to an address you’ve never been to before, without reason or motive, just how willing would you be to jump to their orders and get right on it? Be honest here. So if not you then WHY should any spirit? Who the fuck are you to Them? You’re not Their master regardless of what the grimoires claim - that’s all hyperbole for your confidence. You can’t threaten the spirit or let’s say carry out any threat to It.<br />
<br />
<i>More Flies With Honey...</i><br />
<br />
I got this idea after a failed summoning operation and I was in dire need. So I began to study the African traditions. Not to rob them of their beliefs or culturally pilfer anything from them mind you but actually LEARN something useful and I did. One thing I did learn from reading books about them, interviewing practitioners both online and in person was that they never tried to force their spirits to do anything. Instead they ‘asked’ more often humbly I might add, and offered courtesy and respect to their spirits. That alone was worth more than gold. So I figured if it worked for their spirits why wouldn’t it work for grimoire spirits, my ancestors and even so-called angels/demons I had tried to work with?<br />
<br />
One of the other things I learned from the African religions was they tended to use offerings a lot. Of course I had heard many of them sacrificed chickens, goats, lambs, bulls & so on but as I talked to actual practitioners I discovered that this was not an everyday thing but often for either community ceremonies OR for severe even dire circumstances where a person’s health may be in jeopardy. For their usual work though most of them tended to use liquor - a LOT! Originally I thought the lot of them just a bunch of alcoholics until I found out none of them drank the booze they offered their spirits except to sip it out of respect to show the spirits it wasn’t poisoned. Then a Santera suggested I choose a single spirit to work with, even a pagan deity or hero would be fine, research the spirit, find out where in the world it was from and try to give the spirit as many of Its culture’s foods and cuisines as I could or as close approximations as possible. Fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains, coinage & money, wines & liquors, photos and pictures of the land It was hailed from and even artistic drawings of the spirit Itself. All of these could be given, over time, one at a time, which should please the spirit and help It bond more closely.<br />
<br />
<i>The World Opens Up</i><br />
<br />
I began to shed my original hypothesis that spirits were just in my head and started to meditate, pray to and open my mind to the spirit’s influence. Then things began to really take off! It didn’t matter to me whether or not the spirit actually existed at one time but that I managed to tap into Its current to the point I attracted Its attention enough It began to work with me. Once I had that spirit I asked It for help with things like divination then It sent me another spirit who taught me how to interpret the Tarot better.<br />
<br />
So to end this long diatribe on spirits, the fact is the universe is vast and there are things out there we do not understand nor even know about. Some we may never know about. However does it matter that to experiment all it takes it to toss aside your intellectual side of your mind for a bit and allow your primitive aspects of your brain to reach out to make contact with something that may be primal, ancient, hidden and approachable? Some are beginning to do this today. You just need to drop the Psychological garbage and allow your fears to step in once again. Let the bogeyman become real once more. Well if He’s real, then so are Those who can kick His ass so you just need to set yourself up with Them. But if you persist and cling to a purely intellectual focus with spirits and sorcery then all you are doing is a form of role playing at best. It’s not real magic in the sense you can’t get jack squat done for anyone else other than fix something inside your own head. That’s the extent of it. So LARP all you want kiddies but you’re just pretending regardless of what you say.Moloch's Sorceryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11261341252837940356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669242718827366477.post-32874564516011892762018-05-01T16:04:00.002-04:002018-05-03T00:01:43.357-04:00How To Gain Real Occult Power: A Slow & Certain Method That Works<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Do you ascribe to power? Occult power that will help you break through barriers that impede your regular daily progress and stop you from gaining what it is you desire most in life? If you do I have a plan for you and it works. I know because I’ve lived it... and am still living it!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Life or Reality = Destiny or Fate, Chance or Luck, Free Will</b></div>
<br />
There are a lot of folks out there who have all sorts of ideas about what constitutes reality but the best I’ve come up with is the above phrase which is Reality is comprised of equal parts of Fate (or Destiny), Chance (or Luck) and Free Will. How this works is you may be destined for something but luck gives you so many random choices from which to choose from and ultimately it is your free will that makes the final choice. So to put this into practice let’s say when you incarnated into this life, you are destined to marry. Luck or chances sends X number of potential suitors for you to choose from and ultimately you will choose one of them to be your mate.<br />
<br />
That is how life works. It’s very simple actually and so long as you always bear this in mind you will not fall into a trap of believing your life is crap because of the gods, fate or some outside force nor should you blame bad luck or just yourself. Sometimes it’s a combination of many things that cause bad luck. However when you understand how this process works, you feel much better about yourself and what all you can get and enjoy.<br />
<br />
<i>Plus Or Minus Factor</i><br />
<br />
The key to happiness in life is learning to understand that we cannot always have things the way we want them to be and to accept them when they're close but somewhat off from our ideal desire. That is the toughest nut to crack and by nut make that our own minds because your own mind can be the most stubborn and obstinate creation on the planet. It will often cause you much misery, sorrow and pain all because you allow yourself to be fooled into thinking things have to be a certain way (or you have to be with a certain someone) or else you cannot be happy.<br />
<br />
Ever heard the phrase, “Plus or minus X” where X is a given slush factor often used in science, business, agriculture, and so on? If not you’ve been living in a cave or not reading all that much because it is a very common phrase and it means you’re expecting a given result plus or minus a few degrees, dollars, inches, and etc. It’s a slush factor <i>to allow for variables that sometimes cannot be controlled by you or even the universe itself.</i><br />
<br />
It’s like shooting an arrow at a bulls eye on a target but just slightly missing the mark by a few millimeters. You may say, “Well tough luck chum, you didn’t hit the mark!” Really? In an archery competition perhaps but if that was a charging lion’s eye you were aiming at, you would’ve taken him down. Do you see what I mean? Because much in life depends on perspective and context as well.<br />
<br />
<i>“But I Want X not Y!”</i><br />
<br />
My late grandma's famous reply to the above was, "Yeah? Well people in Hell want ice water but can't have it so they learn to deal with it!" May sound harsh but she had a valid point worth exploring. Why? Because the above phrase is the famous last words of the truly miserable. Got that? MISERABLE! So let me ask: are you miserable? If so then you need to wake up and realize the universe owes you NOTHING regardless of how hard your life is. My late grandpa told me that regardless of how tough you think it is, things can always get worse so count your blessings. He said he met Jews who spent time in concentration camps during WW2 who clung to that slim belief they were going to make it through the horror they were subjected to. Why? Because it was all they had. Odd how people back then had such firm conviction yet today rare are the ones who have any faith to recognize the bountiful blessings they have already been given or the fact that things could always be worse.<br />
<br />
It’s like that time when you were a kid and wanted that hot new toy for Yule that cost a small fortune so your parents improvised and got you something similar and you felt let down because you wanted the original instead of the knock-off toy. I think all of us have felt that sort of disappointment at one time or another growing up - well those of us whose parents weren’t well off financially. Now that we’re adults, for some strange reason, we've held fast to that same belief that we need X not Y in our life. Tell me why is it you think you need a Porsche when a Datsun or Dodge can get you to the same places as the Porsche will - just less expensive on your budget?<br />
<br />
<i>What Do We Ultimately Desire?</i><br />
<br />
So ask yourself is it really a new Porsche, Ferrari or Lamborghini that you want or is it the idea of “an exotic sports that goes fast and everyone notices it”? In all of that isn’t it the desire to be noticed by everyone really what you’re after in the end? Isn’t that the emotion you’re trying to fulfill? Because as a retired sales rep, let me tell you that is exactly what the Porsche dealer is going to sell you: <i>the emotion of owning</i> a Porsche. Now ask yourself would say a custom built car that’s hot rodded and pretty to look at fulfill that emotional need to stand out in the crowd? One that's both fast and has an awesome paint job? I;'ve know a lot of guys who enjoyed a car like that and had the time to enjoy it rather than the guy who works 60+ hours a week paying for the exotic imported sports car that he's up to his neck in hock for!<br />
<br />
Emotional fulfillment is what we are constantly seeking. Remember that. You are never after Debbie Darling the big titted blonde at the corner diner who was your high school cheerleader captain and prom queen, rather you want what Debbie offers: emotional fulfillment. Now is Debbie Darling the <i>only</i> woman who can ever give you that emotional fulfillment? Of course not. If you believe otherwise, then you need professional therapy because you’re only fooling yourself into being yet more MISERABLE since you know you can never have her, okay? So what you need to do is sit down and analyze what it is about Debbie Darling that really turns you on. Is it just her appearance? Is it her bubbly personality? Her smile? The way she speaks? How she dresses? What exactly? You need to hone in on this, Homer, if you want to be happy because I’m about to show you how to get your own Debbie Darling.<br />
<br />
<i>Debbie Does It All For Me</i><br />
<br />
Let’s say you’ve taken time to analyze why you have the hots for Debbie. For our example let’s pretend you have this thing about Debbie because you adore her eyes, smile, legs and buttocks and while it's not a high priority on your list, her chest is nice as well. Now you need to remind yourself of the Plus or Minus slush factor and remember that even if you asked Debbie out and she politely rebuffed your offer, all is not lost. <i>You can find another Debbie clone.</i> They exist out there. You may have added you want her to be a virgin because you’re raised in some some family or culture that values virginity well again this is where the old Plus or Minus is going to matter. You cannot add what may no longer there. Either be happy with what you are given or take the path of misery it is ultimately your choice.<br />
<br />
The occult can help you to find a similar Debbie when you employ it and use patience. How? In effect you are influence Chance or Luck to increase the number of potential Debbie clones as possible. Of course your desire will include that one of these clones fall for you so you get what it is you truly desire <i>the love of a beautiful woman</i> - well a woman you find beautiful. Because that is what matters to you isn't it?<br />
<br />
No! I need the real Debbie Darling! No you do not! Listen to yourself. That’s obsessive talk and something that stalkers tell themselves! Look, there are 7 BILLION people on this planet with 60% of them women which makes for a large number of them in your age range from all walks of life and so on. If you want <i>happiness</i>, you’ll look for your own Debbie and not obsess over Debbie Darling and allow her to have her own destiny without your interference. If you really love Debbie Darling, then let her go and you go find her twin - she’s out there. However, if you prefer to be MISERABLE then certainly pursue Debbie Darling like the moron you are because you know you have a snowball's chance in Hell.<br />
<br />
<i>Improve Yourself</i><br />
<br />
Before I give you my formula for occult power, you need to think about how you are going to improve yourself. Lose weight? Change eating habits? Exercise? Better sleep? Improve your vocabulary? Read more often? Read better material? Be nicer to others? Walk more often? What exactly do you plan on doing? You should choose something to help improve yourself. Something. Even if you already believe what you’re doing now is everything right, you can still find something to improve upon. We all can.<br />
<br />
Improving ourselves is well worthwhile in many ways because by doing so it helps to increase our own self-esteem which others will pick up on. Others like it when you shine and are happiest. They don’t like to be around you when you’re down, out and feeling sorry for yourself.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b><span style="font-size: large;">Moloch's Daily Regimen</span></b></i></div>
<br />
Here you go, this is my daily occult regimen which I use to tune myself (so to speak) and I will break it all down so you understand what I do, how I do it and why. It may seem elementary and simple yet it is not so easy to grasp and adhere to. It takes discipline and once you begin this regimen, over a three week period, you will begin to see a marked difference in your life.<br />
<br />
<b>1. Power Charging Ritual</b> - whatever you like to use. I use the Middle Pillar or actually a modified version where the names are altered and pronounced differently than mainstream. I have tried other charging methods in the past. Most of these methods work and I have a couple of favorites I like. I sometimes alternate them by doing the Middle Pillar when I wake up and before retiring to bed and doing a different charging technique during the day or prior to ritual. Just to make things interesting.<br />
<br />
<b>2. Confession</b> - even though I'm not confessing to YHVH since I do not believe He is the ruler of the universe, I confess to the Ancestors. I get off my chest all that is bothering me from the day and anything that has gotten me upset. This includes obsessing thoughts, anger issues, fears, anything that may be a phobia or niggling doubt, worries and so forth. You need to move these into the open so the ancestors can help you deal with them. Further confession is not only therapeutic, it also seems to have an effect on my magical practices so it should yours as well. This means you should see a marked improvement in the results of your rituals, spells and procedures.<br />
<br />
<b>3. Greet My Guardian Angel</b> - right out of Jean Kent's Book of Prayer. This is to give respect and courtesy to the spirit who watches over me by day and night to ensure I do not fall prey to my own devices. I do not know my Guardian angel’s name because I have not gone through the Abramelin rite however I still thank Him for His service and protective eye. Courtesy and respect go a long way with this spirit.<br />
<br />
<b>4. Greet My Nativity Angel</b> - here I summon my Nativity Angel asking It to gather up Its force and power to aid me in my day and to alert me to any opportunities I may miss as well as help me make better decisions. Now to do this you will need to find out who your Nativity angel is and that means either you must perform a Nativity divination with medieval astrological methods which will help you discern the name of your angel OR you can hire someone to do this for you. The directions are in Agrippa’s Three Books of Occult Philosophy. Once you have it though, you have a terrific source of power at your disposal!<br />
<br />
<b>5. Prayer for the Day & Mystical Day of the Week</b> - right out of Jean Kent's book. If you do not have Jean’s books, you’ll have to obtain them and he offers them on LuLu.com for sale. These prayers are meant to help you tune yourself to the day and they're not simple as some of them require reciting the Qabalistic Cross in the middle of saying the daily prayer. What I end up doing is asking the spirits who rule the day to help me in some manner that is in accord with Their nature. This may sound complicated but it is not all that difficult. I also at the end of each of these prayers throw out my main prayer request so if I want a Debbie clone, then here is where I will also put that out. I won’t use photos but I may use detailed physical descriptions and explain what I want in her personality so the spirits will know what it is I want specifically.<br />
<br />
<b>6. Prayer to the Ancestors</b> - usually a simple prayer to acknowledge the ancestors and any particular ancestor I may be working with at the time on some project. If I have any prayer requests for myself, clients, my loved ones and etc, here is where I will put them in. This is my main focus of the day and everything else leads up to this. If I want something special say my own Debbie Darling clone, here is where I will ask the ancestors and describe to Them what she is to look like, age range, ethnicity, distance from me, and so on.<br />
<br />
Now to make this work I will repeat this request daily until my request is fulfilled. Repetition gets fulfilled or “the squeaky wheel gets the grease” as the old saw goes and it is true in the spirit world - ask any experienced Houngan, Palero or Santero if this is not the case. The rabbi Jesus the Christ said, “Ask, and it shall be given unto you;” Matthew 7:7 and this is a spiritual truism that can be found worldwide in many cultures. The problem is most people never ask and those that ask, only ask once and give up.<br />
<br />
Power is never gained by merely trying and giving up. You must wrest it by force and will. To do this you have to decide what it is you want then go after it until it is yours. Do you understand? Ask! Insist! Demand! There is nothing wrong with this. If you’re following a path and a plan, what is wrong with insisting you get what you desire? Demand it. You deserve it, do you not? Just remember you may not get exactly what you want so don’t be a child at Yule crying about it. Missing the mark by a fraction is not that bad. Second place is far better than third or 20th you know?<br />
<br />
And about your Plus or Minus Debbie clone, let me ask you, if you found a woman who fit your Debbie ideal but she was a brunette or redhead, even though she liked you, would that be a deal breaker for you? For many guys it certainly would be! They’re ignorant fools who enjoy being miserable but you? Does that bother you? It shouldn’t. It wouldn’t me if such were my goal. Or someone offered me a suped up, customized Datsun that garners attention for a lot less than a new Porsche, I certainly would take the Datsun instead of mortgaging my life for an exotic imported super car I tell you that much!<br />
<br />
<i>Summary</i><br />
<br />
<i>Trust me this method works.</i> You need to use it faithfully each day at the same time or thereabouts and be sincere with your prayer to the spirits. Do not be haughty, arrogant or stubborn. The best approach is with an open heart while in a state of grace. Never approach the spirits while in a state of anger as they will amplify what bothering you.<br />
<br />
I hope this helps some of you to enjoy a much better and healthier life. Realize if your life is pure crap do not expect miracles overnight and stick with the plan until you see results. Be firm. Be insistent. Be steadfast. Demand what you want but always be respectful and courteous. Go in light and enjoy your life.Moloch's Sorceryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11261341252837940356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669242718827366477.post-45556162688298632602018-02-22T04:21:00.000-05:002018-02-22T04:21:13.783-05:00Subject to Interpretation?

<br />
In an online occult forum, someone asked whether spirits in the Goetia were considered to be speaking literal or figuratively especially where their powers were concerned. I have my own thoughts on this subject and decided it was time I spoke up and gave my nickel’s worth instead of just letting everyone else say their piece while I was quiet.<br />
<br />
Example: Asmodeus/Asmoday<br />
<i><br /></i>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mXDxUXcDZFE/Wo6KN2Vj29I/AAAAAAAAAyM/M27c_CzNmosNZxPzXoOnwtaanNRpjE72QCLcBGAs/s1600/11333456.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="880" height="200" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mXDxUXcDZFE/Wo6KN2Vj29I/AAAAAAAAAyM/M27c_CzNmosNZxPzXoOnwtaanNRpjE72QCLcBGAs/s200/11333456.jpg" width="175" /></a></div>

<br />
“The Thirty-second Spirit is Asmoday, or Asmodai. He is a Great King, Strong, and Powerful. He appeareth with Three Heads, whereof the first is like a Bull, the second like a Man, and the third like a Ram; he hath also the tail of a Serpent, and from his mouth issue Flames of Fire. His Feet are webbed like those of a Goose. He sitteth upon an Infernal Dragon, and beareth in his hand a Lance with a Banner. He is first and choicest under the Power of AMAYMON, he goeth before all other. When the Exorcist hath a mind to call him, let it be abroad, and let him stand on his feet all the time of action, with his Cap or Headdress off; for if it be on, AMAYMON will deceive him and call all his actions to be bewrayed. But as soon as the Exorcist seeth Asmoday in the shape aforesaid, he shall call him by his Name, saying: “Art thou Asmoday?” and he will not deny it, and by-and-by he will bow down unto the ground. He giveth the Ring of Virtues; he teacheth the Arts of Arithmetic, Astronomy, Geometry, and all handicrafts absolutely. He giveth true and full answers unto thy demands. He maketh one Invincible. He showeth the place where Treasures lie, and guardeth it. He, amongst the Legions of AMAYMON governeth 72 Legions of Spirits Inferior. His Seal is this which thou must wear as a Lamen upon thy breast, etc.”<br />
<br />
<i>Dealing With Asmoday</i><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SRTxTawhs1Y/Wo6KmoIrXHI/AAAAAAAAAyU/cAfp0nVIFxM6kaEac4ddYZTTIFSuuNMCACLcBGAs/s1600/Asmoday%2BSeal.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="232" data-original-width="232" height="200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SRTxTawhs1Y/Wo6KmoIrXHI/AAAAAAAAAyU/cAfp0nVIFxM6kaEac4ddYZTTIFSuuNMCACLcBGAs/s200/Asmoday%2BSeal.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
First realize that Asmodeus, Asmodai or Asmoday has a couple of other names not found in the Goetia. Chammadai or Sydonai are other names for Asmoday. I’ve even seen His name spelled Chasmadai or Chasmodai before. While I have not summoned the spirit using these names I am willing to bet He would submit to Them as well.<br />
<br />
Thus far we know Asmoday is first under Amaymon, who is a ruler of the East. We also see that it is not a good idea to wear any sort of head covering and always standing while summoning this spirit lest Amaymon deceive the karcist (re: summoner). Notice too that it states when you have mind to summon him, “let it be abroad” which implies this is not a spirit to summon into your home or on your property as you should be abroad or not home. However IF you do as the grimoire suggests, it seems Asmoday will bow down to the ground before you especially if you ask Him if He is Asmoday.<br />
<br />
<i>What You Can Get From Asmoday? Plenty!</i><br />
<br />
This spirit is loaded for bear as they say and He offers the Karcist a lot for the effort and time. Here is what the book says you get:<br />
<br />
<b>1) He gives the Ring of Virtues</b> - this is rather an unknown I’m sorry to say. I neglected to ask this spirit about this when I summoned Him the first couple of times. I was on a quest for something else and didn’t bother to ask about any ring of virtues. In Wier’s “Pseudomonarchia Daemonum”, this ring is referred to as the “Ring of Venues”. Colin de Plancy states that Asmoday “gives rings influenced by astronomical bodies”. Thus most likely this has more to do with Asmoday teaching you how to make rings according to medieval astrology wherein the virtue & power of a planetary body or fixed star can be coalesced into a stone then set into a ring. This makes far more sense because as we will see, Asmoday is a teacher.<br />
<br />
<b>2) He teaches the Arts of Arithmetic, Astronomy, Geometry</b> - He is fond of teaching the sciences. While I cannot state my mathematical skills are exemplary, they are far better than when I was in college struggling to make it. His version of teaching seems to be as you study the material seems to come to you easier and easier. My understanding of earth sciences has truly grown under this spirit’s tutelage. This is ideal for anyone who wishes to amp up their science knowledge.<br />
<br />
<b>3) He teaches all handicrafts absolutely</b> - handicraft is a term first used in 1523 according to Merriam-Webster’s online dictionary the definition for this archaic term are:<br />
<br />
1a: manual skill; b: an occupation requiring skill with the hands;<br />
2: the articles fashioned by those engaged in handicraft<br />
<br />
thus the idea is any skill where you work with your hands from basket weaving to sewing to brick laying to welding because they’re all ones where you work with your hands. Thus the idea of handy-crafts.<br />
<br />
<b>4) He gives true and full answers to thy demands</b> - “Ask me a question, any question!” like the old mentalists used to shout to audiences. Here the spirit is saying He will be honest and give full answers to your questions.<br />
<br />
<b>5) He makes one <i>Invincible</i></b> - this one has vexed many practitioners for quite some time. Some seem to think this is a misprint and instead of invincible the scribe really meant ‘invisible’ but I tend to think Asmoday can make you invincible though not bulletproof. There are many ways of viewing invincibility such as an icon or martyr who died for a cause and whose memory lives on. Is he speaking purely of physical invincibility? Or figuratively? I tend to think it’s more in the magical combat arena. The spirit will help you overcome things that hold you back, educate you and even help you with magical rings so why not confer magical invincibility? With the idea being you can weather the onslaught of some mean practitioner’s spells or curses slung at you with the help of Asmoday’s invincibility.<br />
<br />
<b>6) He shows the place where treasures lie and what guards it</b> - sometimes the dead guard the treasure they hoarded and died with. Once you know what guards a treasure and what the treasure is, then you can determine if the treasure is worth your time to procure via magic spells to shoo off the guardian spirit. Another meaning for treasures are the ones that lie deep within each of us. Those untapped powers, talents and abilities we all have that we do nothing to uncover until someone like Asmoday comes along and says, “Hey look what you can do here!” Knowing skills and talents can seriously amp up your financial standing in the business community. I mean perhaps you have a penchant for foreign languages? Why not tap into that and use into help you make some money? Or maybe you have a talent for other things that the spirit can help you uncover?<br />
<br />
You get the idea yet? Things are not always cut and dried with spirits let alone the scribe who cobbled together the 72 names and seals to become the most popular grimoire of all time, the Goetia. With the 72 listed, we have to go hunting for Them in other places in medieval history to find more about Them such as alternate names, alternate seals and even clarification on things the spirit offers or can do for the karcist.<br />
<br />
<i>In Summary</i><br />
<br />
Spirits can do many things both inside as well as outside of us. They can work on our psyches to calm fear and emotions or stir up our courage make us invincible or show us talents we may possess or where we can find a hidden money stash. Honestly don’t try the latter unless you live in a place like Louisiana where people buried their money in the past especially pirates who would hide out there in the bayous. What’s the point of treasure hunting if there’s no hidden/buried treasure in your neighborhood?<br />
<br />
Be open minded about interpretation as to what grimoires state. Gods for the love of Mike, do NOT become like a born-again xian who states, “The Bible said it, I believe it, that settles it!” and yes there are those who work grimoires with that exact mindset! Do you really want to be known as a “Fundamentalist Magician?” Things are not cut and dried especially today where there are few exceptions to the black and white viewpoint because most of us live in varying shades of gray so knowing we live in more modern times where things are far more complex than they were 500 years ago, don’t expect spirits to be like that either.Moloch's Sorceryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11261341252837940356noreply@blogger.com
