The Case of the Haunted Chateau


This was probably the messiest case we've ever worked. I thought I would share this testimonial from the client herself. The client was pleasant enough if not a bit... off? Actually, honestly speaking she was a complete loon! Ceremonial magicians do get into all sorts of trouble, don't they? Oh I shouldn't have said that, it's very unprofessional. She did pay in cash.

Servicemen Par Excellence!


Oh, where to begin? I must say, I never imagined myself writing a review for something as mundane as a waste disposal service, but then again, I never expected to find one quite soā€¦ adaptable. You see, my family estate, sprawling and stately as it may be, has certain peculiaritiesā€”and no, I donā€™t mean the usual country house quirks. Iā€™m referring to the spirits. Rude ones, at that. Yes, several dreadfully unsightly relatives still linger about theā€¦

The Black Dog


I often read my cards on the bed as part of my nightly routine. One night while reading, I got the impression of a spirit standing on the ottoman at the edge of my bed. As I focused my "sight," I got the impression of a black dog. He was growling with his teeth bared. The dog had no collar indicating to me that he was a stray.


"What are you doing here?" I inquired. The dog continued to growl in response. I raised an eyebrow to emphasize that I expected an answer. The dog suddenly stopped growling and stared blankly at me. I got the impression that he was lost and a bit scared.


I stood up from the bed, keeping an "eye" on the dog, and headed toward the kitchen. When I saw the dog had yet to follow, I gestured for it come withā€¦

Much UK folklore associated with black dogs. I had my own experience whilst walking in the Welsh hills. The walk goes past a Neolithic tomb then on across grassland before descending for some distance through old forest. The area is very active magically with old forces at work. After the tomb we were picked up by a large black dog that appeared from nowhere and seemed to shepherd us down the path. When we got too far behind it barked until we got closer.. There was a sense of being watched from the woods, possibly not the most friendly of feelings. Once we got out of the woods onto the main road the dog vanished. Not a sign of it anywhere. Magical or just a dog? Who knows but why was it so far from any habitation, why did it escort us for about two miles and it definitely seemed to have our wellbeing in mind.

A Necromantic Rite


https://lostianvs.dreamwidth.org/7317.html


Synchronicities abound, as they do in the Thoth Community. I wrote this post weeks ago, but it seems more relevant now. Compared to my other astrological explorations, this working is much more straight forward. I stumbled across an abandoned site in the forest and, inspired by a passage in Picatrix, I used an impromtu necromantic spell to consort with some vestigial spirits.


CliffsNotes

  1. A mytho-poetic approach to astrological magic seems to suit my practice more than traditional elections.

  2. Targeted memorization and its effects on my subtle bodies is becoming a cornerstone of my practice.

I think you may greatly have misunderstood.


Someone, I ā€˜wasā€™ very close to is an adult worker. She has psychological reasons rather than monetary ones, as many do from what I gather from those in the know.


I have met, worked and socialised with several different types of adult worker. I can say that I've liked them all, which is unusual baring in mind I don't much like ā€˜MOSTā€™ people. However when I do I love with all of my heart.


I can't think of many I would say had a foosty energy. I think this is where you are misunderstanding me. Whatever I picked up on was rancid and sexual. I am not calling you names either!


Although as aforementioned in January there was something weirdly familiar about the feeling I got today. Itā€™s not coloured by my mood Iā€™m in excellent emotional fetal.


I'm a very strange witch I probably know far more about sex magic and energy transference than most. I am and always was really very choosy about who I allow to touch me or who I will touch. I know that has become magnified since 2018. I was duped and it will forever effect me, not because of them but because of me. I allowed it to happen. Itā€™s about me not them, Iā€™m not giving them the power.


I can count on one hand who I will allow physically close to me. I completely understand the metaphysics in a sexual union, some might say Iā€™m balls deep in how strongly I feel about it. šŸ˜‰ I have to inject humour some might say itā€™s a defence, but I just make myself laugh. What I choose or think for me isnā€™t necessarily how I feel about others.


I watch people lie consistent mirroring me and I know their stories arenā€™t true because they are my stories. Or stories they have built around mine. To be a good liar you have to be consistent and I will use a lie to trip up a liar.


This was a helpful conversation, Lost because the waters were starting to leak I have been trying to speak for months to tell someone what happened in 2022 and this has silenced me.


Thank you, I am most grateful because I have been doing everything in my power to break the silence, which oddly made me quiet and obviously a bigger part of me knows ā€˜To know, To dare, To will, To keep Silent and thatā€™s why I havenā€™t been able to say anything. Although in this case I would be telling someone about their magic.


Thereā€™s a very deep person behind the username Little Delphi and I think you might have misinterpreting me. So I will try again, you have something sexual and parasitic in your energy. I won't guess but I think... I might know.

A Spirit of Wealth


A contribution to the recent discourse on money in our community. This post was originally going to be a later chapter of my "Bed, Bath, and Beyond" celestial magic project, but given recent topics it felt more appropriate now.

https://lostianvs.dreamwidth.org/7666.html


CliffsNotes (i.e. implications on my personal practice)

  1. My previously constructed natural magic talismans are useful as permanent and reusable magical material

  2. The Zodiac model is an effective way to tweak the specific expressions of planetary influence in spells.

I am not coming at this from your perspective I grew up with everything a girl could desire, as a young adult I was a very rich bitch and I could command money - didnā€™t make me happy in the slightest. Major Money block. I see money as something that can be utilised to take advantage of my nature.


šŸ„“šŸ¤Æ Now Lost donā€™t go taking umbrage but reading that I felt like I just navigated the astral in Nuclear submarine with a DU leak and now the Quabballah is crying.


I mean you and Roomie absolutely no harm. 100% truth.


I hope for you both, a gaseous nebula collapse; I wish on that star for you to have abundance in absolutely everything positive.


You are the second funniest thing on the internet. You made me laugh.

A Money Making Servitor


Throw back to Witch Wars 6 - Fort Knox. This was my entry.

It involved crafting a three headed spirit, cursing a forest, and playing a game of bait-and-switch. Not a great success, but a learning experience nonetheless.

I am sorry Lost I was distracted yesterday. I didnā€™t take on the information.


I really enjoyed this wee tale possibly because when you read someoneā€™s narrative your imagination becomes the director of the film in your head. Itā€™s why books are better than films.


Iā€™m looking forward to the next instalment.



Meeting the Neighbors


This post documents a couple encounters I had with the Good Neighbors. Some of these details were alluded to in the post titled "Landscape Alchemy." I've considered approaching them, as I am interested in how one might travel between our worlds. However, I'm unfamiliar with their culture and language.

I enjoyed reading you blog LI. The Fae Collecter this is my experience. I live semi rural so my little town as a lot of green land when the big wigs with fat wallets are not trying to build on it and destroy it but that's another topic. I have much respect for the Fae after all we are on their land not they are on ours. My local park offers array of trees for land fae I drawn there because of the amount of willow trees the willow is my favourite so are the whisps. I have slipped up though after helping a family rid of their fae attachment the fae in question stood outside my home and screamed it was seen and heard by my guests and my guests where very scared. It then stolen from me so I apologise and brought it off with a ransom silver coins plants and herbs. It stayed around but was quiet so I decided I was going to try so witch to fae connection that fae I now work along side me even at my new house we have a working relationship. I have collected few more from the local area too I move fae on they can reside in a different part of their land.

Cultivating Mystery


As I systematize my practice, I will sometimes drift a bit too Mercurial. The result is often lackluster manifestations. I recently failed to develop a method of spirit conjuration that looked a bit too textbook for the spirit I'm working with. This post has some self-reflection following that failure.

Exciting post for lots of reasons. I love it when people teach through their experiments, particularly when they share those that didn't go as they wanted.


I do so love it when someone produces content. Especially when it makes me think for a while.


Post Script - so you had no reason to choose Jasper other than its availability? What type of Jasper?


Echo Echo Echo. *Sung in the voice of a coo-coo*


Why must people defend what they do by talking down anotherā€™s practice?


Own it.


Out and proud!


Crystals have a vibration. Itā€™s physics, geology. Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry, biology, nuclear physics, meteorology, astronomy, cosmology, climatology, and of course logic.



So, the ridiculous eye-rolling on this subject vibrates at a much lower frequency than the crystals. Although that's sufficient, those who study earth sciences must laugh so hard at the utterance that crystal magic is some Billy Basic Magic, with Magic being both an Art and a Science.


That said, I am suffering from reverse snobbery when it comes to Magic currently. I'm a proper barefoot dancer. BPM is fast and furious. I am abundant in the things that matter, and my brain is full of tremendous cheer-inducing chemicals.


Crystals are not any different from a chalkstone pulled from a stream or a flint stone that drew my attention to the country park. Or the herbs growing on the window sill. In Scotland, on Skreel, you can pick up amethyst as you ascend or descend.


I wear crystals daily, and ordinarily, I have one particular crystal that people buy me, which always amuses me because I understand why. They always say the crystal drew them in, making them think of me. Iā€™d be insulted if I didnā€™t understand the relevance.


Although itā€™s a great exercise to work out what another witch's correspondences are.


Currently, you smell earthy; usually, I think you smell expensive. I wonder if that means more to you than me. Rhetoric, I don't care enough; it was simply a musing, a moot point.


I had someone try to draw me through a mirror four weeks ago ish. I saw their eyes and thought oh, this could be a dangerous, but fun dalliance. I threw five people through a loop and watched in delight as one, in particular, thought they had got one over on me.


I've ring fenced my weakness with an electrical charge. Married to a sparky you learn lots of interesting things about triangles, spirals and circuits šŸ˜‰ a btec book for Techicnicans very useful. Foundation Quals in physics helps too.

An Adventure at The Haunch of Venison Pub in Salisbury


Alright, buckle up folks, 'cause I've got a tale to tell about my recent escapade to the 700 year old Haunch of Venison pub in good ol' Salisbury. Picture this: it's a dreary afternoon, the kind that makes you crave some hearty grub and a decent pint. So, off I trotted to this historic haunt nestled by the mighty Salisbury Cathedral.



As I stepped inside, I was hit with a wave of history ā€“ you know, the kind that seeps into your bones and whispers secrets of days gone by. And let me tell you, this place has got stories to spare. But first, let me set the scene.

Who do I find waiting for me at the table? None other than a witch ā€“ yeah, you heard me right. Not the stereotypical kind with the pointy hat and broomstick,ā€¦

When was this work done? Iā€˜m curious because I was busy with knights of the crusades day before yesterday which oddly lead me to Florence Nightengale and the Crimean war. Lady with the lamp, and wishing I was a grain of sand and just now Iā€™m listening to



https://www.youtube.com/live/iFV9usGg8P0?si=V8reYhGHa1hXP5_T


and someone else is talking about grains of sand.

Iā€™m still trying to pull my practice into some kind of semblance of ā€¦ something that makes sense.


ln other news I lost the war and Liam won. While Iā€™m sat on the floor wondering wondering how this happened and Iā€™m blaming The Witcher,


I imagine Liam is laughing him self stupid and The Witcher has that sly smile that lights up her face from time to time.

Anyway, it took nearly 4 years to take me down completely. Meh


Florence Nightengale - the lady with the lamp - Hermit. Thank you Lost Investment I needed some how to understand my own thoughts my brain just goes too fast sometime. At least I can see my map now.

I really like this post. Itā€™s given me a greater understanding of some ways that connections can be made and used.


I tend to overthink in the sense that I want everything to be far more complicated. I wonder if years of being immersed in ā€œscientific facts and evidenceā€ had stunted my once far more free thinking mind. šŸ¤”

As prone as I am to rolling my eyes really, really hard when I hear anything about Ye Olde Wayes, I can see the appeal. It's perceived as a safe place to start: safe in the sense that there is some of the old ways we can verify (even though we here know there's even more from ages past that can't). Also it's very easy to romanticize the past. But more importantly, a serious witch can see what and who worked best and how a practice can be modified for modernity.


But what about future magic? Future deities? Take one of my favorites and yours, the Mesopotamians. Chris and Liam talk about the in The Whores of Babylon podcast, and talk about how it may be when they fully come back. We are still dealing with how their religion was structured in our current religious paradigms, but as the guysā€¦

Your God +/- My God = Gnosis for some



What are gods really? For some they are personifications of energy currents we as human struggle to fully understand. Many people claim to work and have relationships with 'The Gods' and are able to see, hear, sense, taste and touch them. In my own experience I never tend to approach specific Gods, I do not flip through a book and pick the one I like the look of like take out menu.


Instead I reach into a specific energy current and a figure always eventually emerges. Some use planets as their map of the energetic currents of the universe, others chakras, there are so many different maps and systems of magic and ideas when it comes to energy currents.

I think this is very interesting. Off the top of my head, Iā€™d say to call those energies separately to you and spend some time with each of them, so that each time you do it you get someone you recognize. Now Hermanubis will contain those energies but more. I donā€™t think itā€™s as simple as combining two energies, rather allowing them to combine on their own and see how they do thatā€¦or better, how does the person of Hermanubis express his own energy, which is a combination but exists independently, with his own personality? And do you recognize that each time you call it?
