In light of some recent events online regarding the occult community, it should go without saying that any illegal activity perceived to be real would be absolutely and immediately reported to the authorities and met with legal action. 

This message is intended for those that are aware of the current ongoing situations. For those of you that know, you know. If you’re unaware, you may still find value within this message.

Trigger Warning: There are mentions of extremely uncomfortable and gruesome content within. This is absolutely not intended for children. Mature content below.

While history holds plenty of gruesome tales about witchcraft and Satanism regarding human sacrifice and the like; it is important to know that while there is some truth to some of these accounts, many of these stories were also myths created to serve the purpose of teaching morals and values as well as to create superstition to warn people of ill affects should they behave in ways that were perceived to be evil. Christianity is well known for having recreated many historical facts to suit their needs to convert non-Christians, search, torture, and murder heretics, and shed even more blood in their holy wars in the name of their jealous god. 

As a society that has been educated with many variations of historical facts, we are able to choose to create a different future for ourselves while learning from the mistakes of our ancestors and those that have walked a tumultuous and torturous path. 

Modern civilizations; especially in the western part of the world have become more tolerant, understanding, and respectful of others ability to choose their own religious paths. While not everyone is able to see past their own belief systems, the majority of modern society is able to look beyond their own ideals and socio-religious norms by accepting that others can, may, and do believe differently than they. 

History has shown that those working within the occult have been “demonized” and said to be evil because of fables, myths, superstition, fear, organized religious propaganda, monetary and political gain, and more.

To the best of our knowledge, the majority of modern occultists do not engage in acts of rape, torture, human sacrifice, or any harmful or violent acts to minors. Would that these or any similar heinous acts occur; these kinds of horrendous behaviors would be immediately brought to light, and any perpetrator of any such acts would be persecuted to the fullest extent of the law if found to be guilty via court proceedings as everyone has the right to a fair trial, and is considered to be innocent until found guilty by a judge or jury of their peers. These people would also become fodder for anyone who wishes to enact their own version of justice upon them.

 Contrary to popular belief; occultists do not engage in any of the aforementioned acts as a rule. To believe such and or propagate or insinuate that these false accusations are anything based in reality is not only discriminate in nature but also defamatory and may be considered  to be libel and/or slander against any person or persons named as such.

There are people that have committed lesser crimes within the community and they have been dealt with accordingly via the legal system as well as having received other forms of retribution from those who felt it was deserving.

The point of this message is to educate people that do not understand those that are involved with the occult. We are mothers, fathers, children, doctors, nurses, lawyers, firefighters, police, military, political officials, chefs, restaurant owners, etc. We come from all walks of life and there is nothing physical that denotes us from the rest of civilization. We are not evil. We are not demons. We are spiritualists whom have many differing beliefs even within similar paths within the occult. We make our own realities through manifestation. We create rituals, and many of us heal others, read tarot cards, practice reiki, spirit channeling, and even exorcisms. We are not here to harm others. We are here to learn and to teach, and to be. Make no mistake though, if someone attacks us then we will deal with said person or persons accordingly. We won’t sacrifice them to the gods by physically taking someone’s life. We won’t burn them at the stake, or nail them to a cross. We will use our herbs and our altars and practice rituals to ensure that said person or persons is met with the retribution they deserve. 

Occultists that are serious with their craft have a moral responsibility to themselves and the spirits they work with. 

We have a moral code of ethics we stand by and do not idly curse people on a whim as the mood strikes our fancy.

Let me be perfectly clear. There are people within every part of every community that suffer from mental illness and therefore do not always know how to handle themselves accordingly. These people sometimes find themselves behaving in ways they normally would not behave due to their mental illness, their medication being improperly prescribed, or many times due to them not taking any prescribed medications at all. There are many reasons why a person who suffers from mental illness could find themselves behaving in ways they normally would not. 

That is not to say that all those with mental illness are unable to control themselves. There are many, many people who suffer from mental illness that live happy, successful lives, and are able to control themselves to the point that no one would even know they suffer from mental illness unless it was disclosed to another.

The reason we bring this up at all is that we must remember that not every person can be held fully accountable for their actions; especially when mental illness is the cause for said behavior. This does not mean that person is evil. It does mean that their mental state has likely gone unchecked without proper medication and/or therapy, which is likely the reason for behaving in ways they never would have if not for their current mental state. 

That being said, there are those that do behave in horrendous ways; harming others intentionally. Some with the intent to not only harm, but kill. This does not mean that this person is a Satanist, or practices witchcraft. What it does mean is that this person or persons are engaging in illegal activities that most people would consider to be horrific.

While there are some people whom have killed in the name of Satan or the occult, the actual number of crimes is much smaller than many would think when there are many more killings attributed to killing in the name of God.

We want to remind you that most individuals are responsible for their own actions. An entire community of people is not responsible for one person’s actions even if they are committing horrendous crimes.

To brand one person, their organization, or the occult community at large as having been responsible for another person’s crimes is ludicrous.

That would be like condemning the pope or the entire catholic church for every priest that has molested a child. That just doesn’t make sense. While children are still being molested today behind the seemingly safe religious curtains of Catholicism, there are still people blindly going to church every Sunday, dropping their dollars into the offering bin, and asking to be forgiven of their sins so they can sin again on Monday.

Contrary to what you may believe, we are not against Christians. What we are against are those willing to turn a blind eye on crimes being committed against children- even now in modern times, whilst many Christians do their level best to ignore it.

While it is true that not every Christian or Catholic seems to be aware or even believes these despicable and deplorable acts are even occurring; we cannot deny there are those that are very aware and would do anything in their power to hide the truth.

Still, it would not be fair to blame an entire congregation, religion, or faith for those enacting evil upon children.

For those of you that understand the correlations made within this message, we would hope that you do really understand and choose to make your own decisions about individuals rather than the communities they are a part of. The onus is on the individual committing the crime, and they are currently being dealt with by the authorities.

The aesthetic side in me tried to make sense of this first. Of course, there had to be a circle; it was a way to unify the sigil as “one”. The circle appears on pentagrams, which within itself embodies all the elements into “one”. In some witchcraft traditions, covens perform rituals in circles and generate energy within the circles to ensure successful results. Therefore, “aesthetically”, the circle made sense. But there was something that still didn’t click; why a circle?

Through the countless resources of Goetic magick imagery that I had found, circles were used as a form of entrapment of Ancient energy as well as a form of protection. This was very alarming to me. If a practitioner wanted to work with an Ancient energy, then he/she must “trap” it? And even if the practitioner moved forward in working with Ancient an energy, he/she must now feel protected against an attack? Hmm… well, if you’re “trapping” an Ancient energy, do not expect a positive reaction. Using this perspective, I realized that circles created more harm than good when sigils were involved. Early on, I knew that I couldn’t include circles when working with Ancient energies.

Sigils are beautiful representations of the Ancients within our dimension. Draw and use them freely in a way that works best for you. Let them flow with energy! They should be approached and treated with the utmost respect. By drawing or having a circle around a sigil, a form of control is immediately projected. I’ll remind practitioners that the Ancients possess powerful energies; a circle is useless against them. The Ancients cannot be “trapped”. Any claim to this is false and misleading. If you feel that you need to be protected, then PLEASE do not contact the Ancients. You are not ready at this point. I recommend you work on removing the fear that is blocking your spiritual growth.

I’ll finish this article with an important reminder for all: THE ANCIENTS DO NOT HAVE TO WORK WITH YOU OR DO YOUR BIDDING. If they choose to work with you, great! This is an important step towards a successful, mutual working relationship between you and an Ancient. It’s an amazing bond that can lead to a great physical and spiritual life. If they choose to not work with you, then it’s not the right time. Inquiring about this with the Ancients or your spirit guides through divination or meditation would be the best course of action. Being rejected by the Ancients should not persuade you to control them or attempt to “trap” them. If you insist on doing this, you are going down a path of self-delusion and failure.

I’ll add a short disclaimer that there is sigil jewelry, pendants, rings, and more that use circles. Some of these designs must use a circle, because “aesthetically” it has to be used or the design doesn’t physically work. The focus of this article is to highlight the use of circles during rituals, invocations, and evocations.

I’ll go straight to the point: it is overwhelming. Living in this reality, we still must sustain ourselves. We have to work to keep our financial obligations, keep a roof over our head, and obviously eat. Our bodies also need movement and we should provide them with enough exercise to keep our physical being active. For those that choose to enhance their spiritual gnosis, there must be time to research, learn, and apply obtained information. Of course, all the in-betweens of life will fill in the remaining time gaps. Just writing all of these points and mentally processing them is giving me stress… and that’s okay.

Due to the nature of the world we live in, time is precious. Applying efficient time management is extremely necessary. I have found myself multitasking left and right as of late; planning for the future while trying to maintain balance in the present. At times, I felt like Fred Armisen in the “Technology Loop” skit of Portlandia. When I finally set time to work on my altar and dive deep into rituals, I find myself working against the clock once again. The Ancients have been very generous in understanding this aspect of my life. They are aware that I don’t procrastinate; my free time is very limited. They provide guidance and answers in moments throughout the day and night, which shows how much they are willing to help those who establish bonds with them.

As many of my readers and followers know, I work closely with King Paimon. During a ritual session, I brought the issue of time management and asked him what advice he had for me. He clearly instructed me to efficiently plan for the future while steadfastly moving forward. Time and life don’t stop. It’s the constant motion of progression that dictates our realities. With this in mind, he also suggested balancing the self to avoid burning out. Once again, this ties back to planning efficiently. Dedicate time to goals and growth but also physical well-being. The foundation to the future heavily depends on this. He also reminded me that he is also in constant motion, moving between the realms to fulfill his goals and obligations. King Paimon doesn’t stop; he’s always on the go. When he needs to take a break, all offerings made for him are happily accepted and consumed. 

Today, I took a step back from everything. I put the phone away. I did not access the laptop. I avoided all technology and just focused on myself with nature. I let the wind take away the stress, the sun’s heat burn away worries, the earth hold me steady, and the clouds shelter me from the spotlight. I took many deep breathes and just lived the moment. This brought a wave of nostalgia. I remember my days discovering new age philosophy and taking my books to the park. I would just read, mentally process the material, write down some notes, and repeat the process. Looking back, the deepest realizations were experienced in those moments of spiritual discovery. 

We are approaching the half-year mark of 2021, and that reality should sink in. Look how fast the year has gone by! Life keeps moving forward and with it, life experiences. If you are feeling overwhelmed (like I have many, many times), take a step back, breathe, and plan. Focus on yourself but remain realistic of your circumstances. Life is different in every part of the world so work on a plan that works for you. Balance your mind, body, and spirit. The small steps will lead to huge results. 

Growing up as a not-so-active Catholic, very rarely did I hear of any names associated with demons or the demonic. The only name I was aware of was Satan, and all I was taught was to avoid his temptation. With this in mind, I avoided anything associated with that name. Even thinking about it created a fear of welcoming demonic energy. Because I was conditioned to think this way, I was cautious of what I saw and read… but being not-so-active, I still wanted to explore this energy that everyone warned me about. As a teen, I remember coming across the name “Beelzebub” while researching occult books in the local public library. Later I realized that I had also heard this name in the song “Bohemian Rhapsody” by Queen. That name always stuck me but I left it at that.

As one of the most Ancient energies, Beelzebub (also known as the “Lord of Flies”) has been referenced by many names throughout human civilizations. He is also referred to as being Satan himself, but this aspect is highly debatable. His presence was heavily represented in the Middle East, primarily with accounts of demon possessions and infestations. As one of the energies closely associated with Lucifer, his energy is very royal, classy, and powerful. Look at it from this other perspective as well: his legacy in this realm still resonates with humanity to this day! Despite all the negative associations and judgmental references, Beelzebub continues to help a fraction of humanity willing to hear his council. 

Beelzebub reappeared on my spiritual radar at the end of 2018. I had no intention of connecting with him, let alone working with him. After going through a rough patch, I began to see various symbols representing his energy. I would have moths visiting my home constantly and beetles scattering across my path when I took walks. Even flies, who are my least favorite insect, would buzz around my office when I was working alone. He arrived in the form of a protector; reassuring me that he would be the one providing protection both in the physical and in the astral. The first test he provided me was to get over my fear of winged insects. Before I could understand his presence and messages, he wanted me to work on this humanistic trait. Not going to lie; it took a lot of patience! I eventually embraced winged insects and their role in this dimension, which he reiterated that they were truly his messengers.

With his protection, I was able to also connect with other Ancient energies (demons). As an intermediary, Beelzebub provided me with an introduction to Ancients willing to work with me. He also provided me with warnings, and in a way, prevented me from working with Ancients who would not be beneficial for my spiritual growth. While working a ritual with him one night, I was confirmed subliminally that he has been with me since birth. This was truly a special message! And one that made sense… the fear that I had of winged insects manifested as a result of not understanding his energy. It was with time, dedication, and higher awareness in the left-hand path that I came into this realization. 

I continued to receive messages months after that experience but there were larger lessons to be learned later on. In the summer of 2020, Beelzebub began sending his physical messengers to me on a deeper level. In two weeks, I encountered several moths flying into my home. My intuition told me to connect with him immediately, but I procrastinated and put off the session. A few days later, I had a huge green beetle (possibly a scarab) walk in front of me in a parking lot and disappear in thin air. The message was loud and clear: connect now. Once again, I procrastinated and promised to connect later that day. Of course, life got in the way and I did not fulfill my end. One afternoon during a moment of landscaping, I was stung by wasps in different parts of my body. Beelzebub’s messengers had enough! I was writhing in pain and learned a valuable lesson. Listen to his messages, act upon them, and do not procrastinate. Despite the pain, I managed to perform a ritual and merge with his energy. He subliminally made it clear: prepare for what it is to come for what will manifest will be intense. He was not wrong; 2021 has already been intense astrally, spiritually, and physically. I keep myself grounded and prepared for the future. 

Every day he reminds me that he is around. His messengers are always in the precise location and time of day. He reminds me that his energy is constantly around; to not worry and go about my day. Of course, he does not interfere but makes sure that I am protected. This is an amazing feeling because it provides me a deep peace of mind in such a hectic and chaotic world. The energy that he has provided me is full of confidence, determination, and progress. He has also manifested to others in my circle, providing their own unique set of confirmations and synchronizations. Working in the left-hand path and with the Ancients takes time. One must develop a relationship before asking for anything or expecting something to happen. Do your part and the rest will follow. Hail Beelzebub! Hail Beelzebub! Hail Beelzebub!

• 4 black candles to represent the 4 winds or any 4 objects of your choosing to represent each of the 4 winds. In this case a single candle may be used.
• An athame, wand, or your hand may be used to direct energy
• A quiet room or outdoor space where you are able to focus without interruption
• A point of reference for the moon phase, astrological or planetary phase, year, day, hour, and/or minute desired: Simply writing this down on a piece of paper will suffice. If you are time walking to an event in the past, you may obtain something from that time period; use a print out from a newspaper article, or any other such fetish item to help achieve a psychic link to that specific time period.

*Please note that all of these items may be substituted astrally and may be used in your astral temple in place of utilizing physical tools. Likewise; any motions within this rite may be done astrally as well which is particularly useful for those who may not be able to achieve them physically.

Begin standing in your temple or a quiet place of your choosing.  Light the candle or candles present.

You may choose to cast a circle at this point using your athame, wand, or your hand however; it is not necessary and this is based upon your own personal preference.

If you are using a single candle, be sure you have your 4 objects representing the 4 winds within your circle or immediate space if you did not create a circle.

Visualization and Grounding

Light your candle/candles, and as you do so envision the center of the Earth full of magma, all the volcanoes with fire burning within them, and all fire upon the Earth itself flowing into your candle flame or flames. Envision this fiery energy emanating out from them and breathe in the fiery essence until you are filled with it. You will breathe in and out in slow measured breaths for this part, as with each inhalation you are filling your body with the heat and primal essence of Fire. Once you feel as though you are filled with the element of Fire, you may proceed to the next step. You are now connected to the element of Fire.

Be sure to ground yourself to the Earth beneath you and the skies above you whether you are inside or outside. To do this envision that your feet have roots coming from the soles of your feet that extend deep into the Earth’s crust. As you take each breath, envision that the roots are able to breathe in the same way your lungs are able to function. Envision the energies from Earth building up inside of you as you inhale each slow, measured breath. Once you feel as though you are filled with the rhythmic energies of the Earth; you are now connected to Earth in all her glory, existing as an integral part of her plan. In this way you are magickally connected or grounded to the aspect of the Earth.

Now that you’re aware of yourself being grounded to the Earth, you will connect in this way to the sky as well. Begin by tilting your head skyward, whether you are inside or outside. You will now envision the top of your head or your crown chakra pulling the energies from your feet that are deeply rooted within the Earth. Allow this energy to wash over you and shoot out through the top of your head up through the thin air of the atmosphere and into the far reaches of space. Focus on this energy now traveling in both directions; from the ground skyward, and skyward down to the ground using your body as a vessel for these energies. Become aware again of your breathing; careful to take slow measured breaths and as you inhale you take within you the essence of the Earth and Air energies present. Allow yourself to be bathed in its forces. You are now connected to the element of Air.

Become aware of your pulse, it’s beat within your body is like the rhythmic drum beats of ancient tribal music that has been used in ritual for centuries. It is like the ebb and flow of the tides of the ocean. Envision that this pulsing energy that flows through you begins to heat your blood. You feel a tingling sense of warmth wash over your entire body. Your blood is the embodiment of the element Water and your blood charges the forces of it within you. Continue to breathe slowly as you connect to the element of Water within. You are now connected to the element of Water. Focus on all 4 elements combining with your spirit or Anima as you allow the kundalini  force to be opened within you from the root to the crown chakra. Continue focusing on this until you are certain you are connected with all 5 elements; Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and Spirit. You are now completely grounded and ready to begin the next step. (More advanced practitioners may skip this step as you may have a preferred way of visualizing and grounding yourself.)

For the next step you may stay standing or become seated on the floor or in a chair. I prefer to sit upon the ground with my legs in a criss cross fashion.

In a circular motion moving deosil or clockwise use your athame, wand, or left hand to call down the 4 winds as follows:

Evocation of the 4 winds

“Winds of the North, South, East, and West, I summon thee! Winds of the North, South, East, and West I ask that you hold open the gates between this realm and the next as I perform this rite. Winds of the North, South, East, and West I bid thee come!”

As you feel the energies of the 4 winds enter into your temple, you may now focus on the time frame you want to “Time Walk” to. If you have a reference or a fetish item for this you may focus on it now. Feel all the energies you have drawn within you as well as those you have called down into your temple. Direct these swirling energies into your time reference or fetish item.

Walking Backward or Forward in Time

Place your hands above your head with your palms flat and facing up toward the sky or ceiling. If you are walking forward in time, you will use your hands to “Walk” forward in time by placing one hand in front of the other above your head and use your hands to walk forward beginning with the number of days. If you are walking forward 4 days, you will alternate your left and right hands, each taking a turn “walking” forward time; for example: left, right, left, right. Bring your arms to your sides and focus on that specific day and the planetary aspects or other influences you are accessing. If you need a specific hour, repeat the process of walking forward the number of hours needed. For example, if you need to access 1pm; you would count from midnight and walk forward 13 hours while alternating your hands. It would translate as left, right, left, right, left, right, left, right, left, right, left, right, left.  If you accidentally walked too many hours forward, you may reverse the direction as many hours are needed by walking your hands backward in the same way. For example, let’s say you walked forward 15 hours instead of 13, you would then use your hands; palms skyward and walk backwards 2 steps. Should you need a specific moment, you may walk forward the amount of minutes within the hour needed. So for example if you needed it to be 1:05 pm, you would walk forward; left, right, left, right, left to reach the designated moment.

When walking forward in time, it will be rare that you need to walk forward in years however; if this is something you need to do, begin with walking forward the number of years, then months, days, hours, and minutes accordingly as given in the examples above.

Conversely; walking backward in time works the same way albeit it, you will need to remember to change the direction of your hands. They will still be above your head, palms up. Only this time you will walk your hands backward in the same alternating fashion instead of walking forward.

Once you have reached the designated time you may hold that time in place by calling to the 4 winds.

“Winds of the North, South, East, and West I bid thee hold open this moment in time as I complete the desired working. Be for me the pillars of entropy as I utilize this moment frozen in time.”

You will now perform whatever ritual you needed to complete during your specified time.

When you are through with your ritual you must thank the 4 winds for their assistance and politely ask them to depart.

“Winds of the North, South, East, and West I thank thee for coming when called and for lending your essence to these workings. I bid thee farewell and will call upon you again soon. You are dismissed. So it is done.”

Put away any ritual tools used for this rite and any other workings you performed. Be sure to write down any thoughts or visions you received during this process as many things make more sense at a later time. Return to mundane activities as soon as possible as to not interfere with your manifestations.

As a practitioner for many years, I have seen my gnosis go through its phases. At the beginning of my journey, I was timid and very wary of what could transpire. Each book, article, or PDF I read contained valuable information, but I was determined to learn by doing. I figured out early that for my spiritual gnosis to achieve a high level, I had to learn by physical experience as well as establish a spiritual foundation. This way of thinking came from my past, spiritual experiences and it provided a foundation. With time, I understood that I had the power to manifest a reality but that what happened in that reality was out of my control. I could control some individualistic scenarios, but not the collective outcome. 

Part of this evolving, spiritual refinement phase were also the people in my life. Family, friends, co-workers, practitioners, etc.; each person had a role. I experienced lessons upon lessons in diverse circumstances, and each one added to my growth. Most were positive, some were negative. Looking at this from a broader perspective, I also realized that all of these individuals were also learning lessons in their life. They had to go through their ups and downs, and manage their lives in the best way they could. Spiritual refinement, as a result, is both individualistic and collective. Sometimes we come across left-hand path practitioners and occults who decided to cut cords with others, and we must accept this as well. Consider this a physical/spiritual refinement that can provide positive or negative results. 

The older I am getting, the more value I place on my physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual growth. I’m cutting things out of my life as well as adding things that provide effective results. In the past, I did not favor chaos magick; now I embrace it and love every aspect of it. I have added more divination practice to strengthen my current skills and possibly obtain new ones. Even my writing took a “backseat approach” for a while, but now it’s one of my most effective tools. Music has always been a passion of mine, and although I’m not a professional musician by any means, my passion for it keeps me creating and editing my material. 

One important factor that has taken YEARS to refine is not caring what people think about me. This is not easy, by far, but it’s a working progress. I’m not perfect, nor do I want to be. Although I am a spiritual person, I still possess a human body with humanistic traits. Part of the refinement process in this area is also accepting the fact that not everyone is as respectful as I am. Disrespect, drama, and unprofessionalism are triggers that can lead me into a darker mindset and approach. Balance and grounding are perfect tools for me to control these triggers, but again, it’s not easy. Thanks to the left-hand path, I have been able to refine this area of my life.

Lastly, I want to state that there are many tools out that can assist the practitioner. Spiritual refinement begins with the self, and it’s important to have a better understanding of who we are and what we are composed of astrologically. The best tool that I have used recently is my natal chart. I have been able to see how my sign, planets, and astrological houses contribute to who I am. I highly recommend using one of the free reports available on cafeastrology.com or alabe.com. Focus on your growth and do the work; you will discover more about yourself than anyone ever will. Hail the Ancients!

On the second day, we were awoken with a phone call from the hospital. Morgan’s mother had mysteriously awoken from her coma. She did not seem to know what was going on and they asked us to come as quickly as possible. When we arrived we found out that she had had a stroke and she would need to relearn everything from speaking to walking, writing, and other basic things that would help her to not only ambulate but communicate effectively. 

After a short period of time, she was released into our care and we brought her home with us to do what we would to offer her all the help and patience we could. The night we brought her home, I laid in my bed and told Samael thank you for allowing my mother in law to live for the sake of my wife. The response I received was a bit startling. Samael chuckled and told me that yes he had kept her alive, but that she would suffer now as I had throughout my life. He told me that she would never be as she was, but that she would be there for her daughter when she needed her. He told me she would need to learn how difficult my life had been due in large part to the horrible ways she had treated me over the past few years. He explained that he was asked to keep her alive, and that was fulfilled. Now she would learn humility as well.

Over time the majority of my mother in laws faculties we’re returned to her. Mentally she was the same, though physically she could not walk. It was as if she had been returned to the same person she was before, only she was now wheelchair bound. I myself cannot walk unassisted, however, with the use of my crutches I can get around quite well.  Because I had a lot of experience with rehabilitation after extended hospital stays, I tried to help my mother in law with relearning how to walk, or even to walk assisted like myself. 

She would not fully commit to receiving help from me. We got her to try one time but she would not trust me. She would not listen to my advice and my patient and encouraging words. Though Morgan was there right by her side encouraging her, she remained stubborn. She said she was too afraid. 

It has been nearly 8 years now and my mother in law still cannot walk unassisted. I have wondered why she would not take my help, and why her stubbornness won the battle. True, I have not intervened on her behalf since the last time I asked for her life to be spared, but then Samael was adamant on her learning this lesson.

My mother in law has spoken of the dark, shadowy figure that beckoned to her from the doorway of the hospital room as she lay in her bed unable to speak, unable to move. He incited pure terror into her very soul. She will never forget the way she fought from within herself, telling him he could not take her. She pled with him to leave her be. He stood there for a long time in the shadows, knowing he would not come for her that day, but someday come for her he would.

The question remains, will she have finally learned humility? 

Both planets play a significant role in my life, and it’s no surprise that the conduction would provide such a key role in my future. The symbolic representations of Jupiter and Saturn are key in the direction I am heading. Let’s do a short recap of symbolism by both planets to get some perspective. Jupiter represents expansion, wealth, abundance, and optimism. Saturn represents dominance, power, and time. Keep in mind that these representations can tap into the many aspects of our lives: spirituality, professional, personal, emotional, etc. After reviewing and reflecting on my astral/natal chart, both planets play important roles in the development of who I am. 

Using the Great Conjunction as a pivotal point for my future, I embarked on a powerful ritual. Using various candles, visuals, and my energy, I spent hours on my altar prepping and performing my spiritual workings. I could feel the presence of the Ancients around me and I was very aware that this ritual would need to be performed right up until the moment I could physically see Jupiter and Saturn in the night sky. As sunset emerged, I ended my ritual and went outside to take into the celestial event. I was inspired (and guided by the Ancients) to use my professional camera to zoom in and take a photo. It was months since I used my camera, and I was a bit foggy in remembering some important steps in getting the best, possible shot. Nonetheless, I was determined and took my photo. At that moment, I got the confirmation that this event would be the resurrection of my photography and videography projects. 

Here are more important lessons/affirmations I received:

1. Learning more about myself. I am my own worst critic, and this can sometimes block me from moving forward towards progress and success. As an Aquarian male, I don’t take criticism lightly; especially from my own self. During my ritual, I was guided to accept my strengths as well as my weaknesses. I’m not perfect and don’t strive to be, but there is always room for improvement as long as I am open to it. 
2. Learning more about my astral chart. At the beginning of December, I reopened my astral/natal chart on my laptop to finally deep dive into it. The last time I opened it (which was probably in 2018), I was not in the best, spiritual mindset to understand it. This time, it was different. All the planetary and astrological symbolism, along with the houses, made complete sense. I felt like I finally understood this puzzle, and now I was able to use it for strengthening my gnosis. 
3. The power of divination. Doing my own tarot readings has always been a passion of mine. I love understanding the nuances of each card and seeing the message they have for me. The flip side is that I have not done much practice with them and although I have the intention to use them daily, I get lost in my daily life. During my ritual, I received important insight as to what the future holds for me and I was guided to use my cards more often to establish a foundation. This makes complete sense! A few days later, I came across a pendulum. I did not own a pendulum in the past but always had the desire to get one. Well, a pendulum crossed my path and I immediately knew it was for me. I’m now learning how to use it and will add it to my divination practice. 
4. Embracing a public role. December 2020 also marked the resurrection of my public presence online. It was years since I uploaded anything on YouTube and embraced social media from a public, left-hand path perspective. The Ancients gave me the necessary push to embrace a public platform once again. Black Dragon Immortalis provided me with an opportunity to showcase my views and creative talents with you all. As a result, more opportunities arose! Thanks to Maggie Moon and The Order of Chaos Magick, I offered my perspective on Lilith and other Ancients for the world to hear and see. Although I am still a bit nervous about this public role, I received the reassurance from the Ancients that it’s part of the greater plan moving forward.

As we all approach 2021, there is a lot of uncertainty worldwide. If you think about it though, there is always uncertainty. What makes it different now is that there is a higher level of chaos. How we manage the chaos will be the ultimate factor in how we will experience the chaos, as well as how we will emerge from it. Personally, I feel the new year will mark a new beginning. I cannot pinpoint exactly in what area of my life, but 2021 will bring a different dynamic. What I do know is that I’m going to use the energy that I possess to better myself and my gnosis. All of this, ultimately, depends on me. The Ancients are my support system and will provide the guidance, but whatever happens in this realm is based upon my decisions, thoughts, and actions. Hail the Ancients! 

Leviathan is the beginning and end of all things; a universal construct by which the unending circle of the universe quakes within it’s roiling seas of darkness. His scales are coated with an oily black substance that penetrates all of creation. As he slumbers he speaks with a thick gurgling raucous voice full of contempt; yet he beckons with a grace that is misunderstood. In his solitude he flexes his ability to reach out to all who will hear his command. In dreams he seeks to find those who will entertain him in his eternal prison.

Leviathan; king of the deep, lord of the subconscious mind. His consciousness plucks tenderly at the delicate web Arachne creates outside of time itself. Tendrils of his essence puncture reality each time he seeks out those who will hear him; to those that will relay his messages.

Leviathan tells us that time is a fraud. It is a human construct used by mankind to make sense of the narrative we have been indoctrinated into believing. Time therefore is cruel and unjust. It has been used against creation since its inception. Without time there would be no beginning, no end, no aging; only entropy. Entropy teaches us to be still and to exist in this very moment. If we can envision living outside of this imagined construct, we can open to realities that lie outside of time. We can learn to engage within the present as that is all that we truly have.

While time is a human construct, it is in fact a very real part of how humans live their lives. We allow time to carve out sections of our days that are divided into hours, minutes, and seconds. In realizing that at one pivotal moment time was brought into existence with thought and created, we can begin to understand we can be in control of time itself.

Many who practice magick do so on particular days due to planetary and astrological aspects. Magick is done at these particular times during the day or night to align with these corresponding influences. What one may realize is that when you understand the reality of time itself, you may harness it as you wish; meaning that you have access to every astrological influence and planetary frequency at all times. Through this concept I have learned to do what I refer to as “time walking”.

A simple example of time walking would be as follows: I have a rite that needs to be done tomorrow due to the planetary aspects needed to increase the energy frequencies of said rite. However; tomorrow I will be traveling all day thereby making it impossible for me to conduct the rite at the appropriate day and time, or moon phase. Today though, I have no plans and it would be a perfect day to do this rite with exception of the aforementioned planetary or astrological criteria.

In order to take advantage of doing the rite today, I will mentally “time walk”, or mentally and astrally walk time forward to the exact day, hour, and moment the rite should be done; albeit I will access it from today. Conversely; this also works with walking back time if the day you needed to access has already passed.  In this way, we can  access any planetary frequency, moon phase, or astrological influence needed for our magickal rites at any point in time.

A key facet of this is practicing magick on days major events have taken place. This is done as a way to access the collective human consciousness. Studies on human consciousness and how mankind can affect the world around them is called Noetic Science.

We can take an historical event that occurred and utilize the frequencies that human consciousness accessed on that day, at the precise hour and minute of the occurrence.

Let’s take Woodstock as an example of collective consciousness. This event produced massive emotional states of mind and elevated spiritual frequencies due in large part to the music, the drugs, and the free love occuring at that time. If you were planning on doing a healing rite, you could time walk back to the exact year, day, hour, and moment Woodstock began. You could channel the energy frequencies that were put out during that time and utilize all the positivity for your healing rite. You can create a thought form mentally and astrally that will hold these energies for you as you prepare the remainder of the rite.

If we use the first example of time walking in conjunction with this one, you could time walk to tomorrow to access the correct frequencies AND access the thought form of collective consciousness from Woodstock to empower the rite simultaneously.

In this way, manifesting anything in your reality becomes much easier. Nothing is outside the realm of possibility.

For more information about Leviathan; I found the majority of this article to be in line with my personal gnosis of this slumbering god of the abyss. (https://demonsanddemonolatry.com/emperor-of-the-void-and-abyssal-demon-lord-leviathan/)

I hope you are inspired by this piece, and should the dark lord of the infinite waters whisper your name; you have no need to tremble before him, though you quite possibly may.  In any case, this god is to be revered and respected, and once you lend him your ear; he will tell you a great many secrets. You only have to be willing to listen.

From personal experience, it takes about 24 hours post-ritual for my mind, body, and spirit to process my experiences. Connecting with an Ancient and establishing a working relationship should be a goal for many but to each their own. Eventually, there comes a time in which an Ancient may not be around or may not want to connect and work with the practitioner. Does this mean that the connection is lost forever? Is something wrong with the practitioner? Should the practitioner attempt to connect again?

If these questions triggered you and/or cause you to reflect on your past workings, this article is for you. Before I go into detail, I will share a personal experience I had with Astaroth. Astaroth appeared to me in a dream right at the beginning of my journey into the left-hand path. I was unaware it was her at the time, only to learn about this later on during a ritual session. In the dream, she appeared to me as a blonde, tall woman with a professional demeanor. She never said a word, but subliminally said everything in my mind.

She made it a point to let me know to work on my foundation. I needed to work on this in order to build upon my future and legacy. This information was confirmed to me, once again, during a ritual. After this experience, I attempted to connect with her many times but have been unsuccessful. Nonetheless, I have continued thinking about her presence in my dream and her message. Vicariously through others, she sends me a message every now and then which definitely brightens my day. This is a great example of how some Ancients come and go in our lives in the indicated time.

This perspective is truly important to reflect on because there will be moments in which the same Ancients, we have worked so hard with will abruptly exit our lives for a time. Some Ancients that a practitioner has never worked with will appear out of nowhere and make a long-lasting impression. Despite these scenarios, once an Ancients has left their imprint within your energy or spirit, that connection forever remains. They have the ability, just like you, to work with whoever they want and for the amount of time they wish. Keep in mind that their concept of time is different than ours, but you should understand my point.

Do not lose hope. Do not feel as if you are abandoned. Do not give up. There is nothing wrong with your abilities. In fact, during a time of spiritual solitude, one should work on his/her gifts and abilities to strengthen future spiritual workings and connections. At times, this is precisely why the Ancients temporarily part ways. They provide practitioners with the necessary space to work. Nothing is easily obtained in this path; one must work diligently and effectively.
