Akenu's Initiation

April, the month of Rune Magick has started, so I will be going for the month-long training. More information about Armanen runes can be found here: http://www.american-buddha.com/cult.runemagic.kummer.htm

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...

Smoke evocations are probably the most used ones in ceremonial magick. The setup is simple, has a lot of variations and can be done with any level of experience. Idea behind the smoke Many Magicians believe that to have a visible contact with an entity, one needs a physical vessel to operate upon. For that purpose sensitive mediums were used to get possessed by the entity and hadle the message. Unfortunately this method makes the whole ritual fraud accessible. Is the medium a real deal? Can we really identify a genuine medium. In the second grade I gave you few tips about how to recognize suggestible Somnambulic subjects, but it can happen that some fraud will know Mesmerism or will be lucky enough to pass the test, so naturally we had to come up with something to get rid of our human oracle. Naturally, the next step were inanimate objects (animals are not very good mediators). But what object is light enough and easy to manipulate, after all we usually do not possess the power to c...

What is a dream invocation We have already learned about invocation, so let's talk about one specific branch of this practice, the dream invocation. Dream invocation is a bit misleading term because this practice is more similar to evocations than invocations, except the evoked entity is commanded to appear in your dream, it is invoked into the dream but there appears external to your "dream body". Basic usage Some entities are supposed to give us some information or knowledge. This means we are somehow expected to actually communicate with entities, to exchange information with them. This can be done either through higher senses (clairvoyance, clairaudience, etc) or through tools (mirror, pendulum, ouija board, tarot...). Tools like tarot are too general for the exchange of specific information, pendulum is a bit one-sided and ouija is not suitable for longer communication (plus most of us need at least one another person for ouija to work). Black mirror is not a b...

What is an invocation Invocation is a process od summoning entities "inside" ourselves. Evocation calls the entity so we can make our demand. Invocation calls the entity within so we can temporarily or permanently gain new abilities or boost older ones. Sometimes during the invocation it happens the Magician becomes temporarily possessed by invoked entity and starts talking without conscious control. This memory is usually lost after the consciousness is regained, actually dreams and possessions are related so based on how well you remember your dreams, you will also remember your possessions. You can also use a recording device during your invocations to check later. Simple form of invocation A simple way how to attune yourself to the entity and slowly gain its abilities is using its name as a mantra, repeating it again and again through the day. Most usual names for this use are names of deities, e.g. YHWH, IAO, Eheieh Asher Eheieh, AGLA. Sometimes the mantra can also c...

To detect the presence of spirits at your home or ritual space is crucial ability. It is crucial for the success of the operation, it is crucial for your health, your sanity, and it can be crucial for saving your life, as well. Strange occurences When things fall from the table, television switches on and off no matter what or your wardrobe sings, it certainly means there is some spirit present (or it can also mean you should stop doing drugs). The thing is that this usually doesn't happen, spirits do not usually levitate tables, pets, mother-in-laws... they do not break vases, windows, they do not turn on and off TVs and they certainly won't pay for your cable to watch adult movies. It can happen (and sometimes this happens during the rituals), but most of the time symptoms of having a spirit companion are more subtle. Feelings The flow of a wind in closed room, feeling like someone's watching you from behind, tapping your shoulder, touching your back, sometimes there ...

Yesterday I accidentally cut my nail, creating a deep little pocket in it. You know, that sort of the thing you must be careful not to rip off accidentally else you have a big problem. This happened to me in the morning. During the evening I wanted to show it to my friend to have some laught about it (the accident was kinda funny) just to find out the nail is completely healed. Now I don't know what just happened. Well, my regeneration is kinda funny, often I have starting symptoms of being sick which then just disappears, but I didn't expect this level of regeneration...
