Akenu's Initiation

What is a physical manifestation Physical manifestation is purpotedly an event when a spirit attains a physical form during which it can freely communicate and interact with the Magician or anyone around. We split the physical manifestation into two categories: full manifestation and partial manifestation. Full manifestation is when the spirit is fully materialized, its whole body is visible and the manifestation is consistent (stable). Partial manifestation can be arms, legs, head, shoulders, usually also flowing from one body part to the other one during the course of the evocation. Concerns regarding physical manifestation I am not a big fan of the idea of spirit being "materialized", I would rather explain it as "Astral light being densified to the point of being visible" than "assemling particles to the form of a spirit". It's true that I was able to achieve only a partial manifestation, never a full one, but I doubt the process is any differ...

What is a shadow evocation During evocations we need some vessel for the spirit through which the spirit will manifest. It can be a smoke, black mirror, fog, water, or light. During shadow evocations you use your own shadow as the vessel for the entity to appear through. Setup To set up the operation you need a very dark room. Sit on the floor and put a big candle with strong flame behind your back, far enough so you won't burn yourself, it is actually not a good idea to have the candle too close, because you need to have a good sharp shadow projected on the wall in the front of you. Oh, yes, you should be facing a wall if you didn't figure this out already. The candle should be the only lightsource in the room so there is only one sharp shadow without any disturbances. The operation The format of the ritual is as always, just for the incantation you are sitting on the floor and you passively observe your shadow on the wall, repeat the incantation a couple of times and th...

Recently I became horribly lazy in using pen and paper so I am currently doing Sigils on the phone again. Let's hope it won't have so devastating effect on the phone as it had few years back.

What is a Magickal chain Magickal chain is a protection ritual. Papus called it the absolute defense. The practice itself is split into two categories: the ritual and the use of the chain. Point of the ritual is the creation or re-assurance of the chain, usage involves calling the master of the chain to activate it. How to create the chain First of all you should already have some experience with the Magickal prayer, these two are closely related. Secondly you should choose a master of the chain. This can be any long diseased occult master that somehow influenced your art (e.g. Crowley, Bardon, Papus, Spare, Paracelsus, Pythagoras...) During the ritual you call and pray to the master of the chain. Then you call for guardians of cardinal directions, elementals, spirits, demons, angels... in other words you start at the bottom of whatever hierarchy and you work your way up till you reach whatever force you are used to pray to in Magickal prayer. Entities in the chain can be called s...

Who is Anael Anael is one of angels of Venus. He is associated with the Fire element and he is called the messenger of God. anael's field of work are visions, messages, predictions, simply contact with the divine. That's also why Anael should be the first one to be evoked through a black mirror. First scrying evocation Prepare your incantation. Make sure you call Anael a couple of times and you ask him to bless the mirror to give you messages through him. Mirror should be placed in an angle so you can see a reflection of your face (scrying bowls and crystal balls do not have this requirement). Your environment should be completely dark except two candles placed on the sides of the mirror. Play around with the position of the candles, your reflection in the mirror should be neither too sharp nor too vague. The reason is that your mind needs some reference point in the mirror to start with but having too sharp reflection will beat the idea and too vague image won't give y...
