Rising on the planes 2

Previously, I have written about Seta. I have explained how we met and what she taught about. Now, in this second part, I am going to delve into practical magick right away. This is not the sequence which Seta followed while she taught me everything but the sequence doesn't have an importance right now. We'll begin with love spells. Magick about romantic and erotic affairs. Let's begin with some conceptual framework. The following explanations belong to Seta. I just paraphrased them mildly because like I have told you in my last post, our conversation in the beginning was way too mechanical.

Love, according to your era is all about miscommunication. Therefore, you need to get the help of Mercury as well as Venus when you will engage with love spells and/or talismans. You need to construct a story where Mercurial and Venusian forces affect the objective. For instance, a basic construct of a love talisman should look like this:



In this picture, the pentagram stands for the direction of power or energy which flows from Venus and Mercury down to a person who's name is Laurelle. The pentagram is green because of the traditional color of Venus. The name in the center of the pentagram is mirrored. It represents that we are going to affect the person on a deeper, more spiritual level. In other words, we are going to do this operation on the other side of the mirror. Then, the Laurelle we are working on will be affected in the mundane world (may be considered as malkuth, tough not quite the same thing).

This is the talisman. You have to add another name if you are not the one who wants Laurelle but only doing this, let's say, for a friend. In that case, your friend's name is to be added somewhere between the mirrored Laurelle and the planetary symbols.

The talisman is to be prepared on a Friday (Venus) morning, or a Tuesday (beginning of Mars' day) evening. Then you have to make up your mantra and meditate on it for seven days (why seven? because venus is still the most important planetary force in that operation). You should expect the effects within 21 days.

You should make up your own mantra and you should use your native language but you should use the logic in sigils while preparing your mantra. The more meaningless, the better the outcome. For instance, you can mix the names Laurelle, Venus, Mercury, Love, and your name in a fashion where you can produce a special mantra just for this operation. And there must be a short vibration. Let's have a look at our example:

With Laurelle, Venus, Mercury, Love and my name Chaos, I have those letters (using the logic for a sigil): L, R, V, N, S, M, C, Y, H. Let's move on from there and create this mantra: CYHAN SAOMEE LAARVIAN. It's ok to make up and add some random vowels. You should repeat that mantra each day a certain number of times, which should be determined by a certain rule such as the multiplication of your age and her age. For instance, if you are 27 and Laurelle is 24, you should repeat your mantra 24x27 = 648 times a day for seven days.

There are no entities, no thought-forms, no creatures of any kind involved in this type of an operation. It just works with your energy with the help of the planetary forces.

It would be more powerful if you take your time and do some breathing exercises before you begin each ritual.

In fact, if you are talented and experienced enough, everything can be accomplished by sitting before a huge pentagram and meditating on the desired outcome. However, most people cannot concentrate on that level.

That was a simple magickal operation, a love spell, as described by Seta. I'll add more of them as soon as possible.

Rising on the planes 1

I knew this time would eventually come. It started last year and I have posted some of this experience in different forms on this blog. However, when it comes to occult knowledge and culture, there is vast amount of difference in perspectives and definitions, therefore it is hard for a novice to tell whether she has been in an astral plane or in another sphere of existence or just in alpha state. Isn't it possible that all those definitions indicate the same experience for any magician in any level of experience? It is very possible. The truth is, there is no absolute truth at all when it comes to a magickal operation or a magickal school of thought and practice.

Having said that, lets talk about a little bit on how is it possible to produce a magickal effect without using any physical tools whatsoever. But before that, let me ask you this one important question: Is it possible that magickal weapons have any significance? Can you find and use John Dee's wand (if there was any) and produce decent magickal effects with that? Do you think it might be useful for you to bring Crowley's sword (if there was any) to your ritual?

First of all, I don't reject the idea of an accumulation of a certain type of energy in a magickal tool. Once, I slept with a t-shirt which I have used in a magickal operation (to fold around a wax-doll for physical protection purposes while carrying it in a backpack) and my sleep was not full of nightmares but there were enough of them to remind me the effect. However, apart from this energetic effect, would it be useful for a person who would take my t-shirt and try to use it in magickal purposes? I don't really think so. Most probably, he will only have one or two harmless nightmares while he sleeps or some mild headache and nothing beyond.

Second, I want to evaluate mantras and similar words in effect. As most of the readers of this blog know, Jupiter's number is four and you repeat everything four times when you address Jupiter in a ritual. Some say that the vibration is important, others say that there is an accumulation of energy in those words just because people used them for thousands of years. Then why, why on earth should we perform a long ritual with all those hexagrams, pentagrams, swords, daggers, robes... why isn't it sufficient to vibrate all the right words?

Those two examples should lead you to think and try to exceed your current perspective. This is a difficult and tense matter, therefore I will not go into detail and force the issue further.

Let's come back to our main topic: Rising on the planes.

After a year of hard work on magick in almost all types of schools and alike, I had some contact with Isis. After a certain period of time, an imaginary place had emerged with very precise details. The reason that I don't tell you the whole picture is not to influence your imagination. You need a clean imagination to start with, because imagination is the key to further discovery of such "places". If I now go about filling your mind with some descriptions, you would get stuck with a preconditioned imagination. A preconditioned (or conditioned in any conventional way apart from self-managed conditioning) imagination for a magician is the key to failure.

Some day (actually night) a couple of months ago, while searching for something in the backyards of that imaginary place, I came across with an entity (spirit? demon? who is going to decide that?) who calls herself Seta (or Sata). I am calling her a she because she was in the form of a female human being. It was easy to contact her although our contact in the beginning was very mechanical (such as yes or no's or very rough explanations). From all the bibliotheque I have read so far, I immediately thought that she is going to lead me to different spheres or different dimensions so to say (some call this a plane, plane of existance: e.g. astral plane, physical plane, etc.). However this wasn't how it happened. We had minor conversations for almost 2 months. Conversations were about both private magickal practice and general information on dimensions and planes of existence. Then Seta told me that she is going to leave me and my imaginary workplace since she (kind of) decided that I am not quite ready to learn more than what she already told me. She also told me that ordinary magick we talked about with her is just enough to achieve almost every purpose in the mundane world. Finally, she added that it is not possible to know by now whether we are going to "see" each other again or not.

In the days coming, I am going to post about the magick that she taught as well as some concepts we talked about.

Although a bit late, I wish everyone a happy new 2010!
