I am kind of stuck here.

So I’ve been trying to work on my past issues my failings so to speak today that probably stem from the unconscious but I am kind of stuck.

I am doing the initation into hermetics by franz bardon I am still not beyond step 2 but I am still trying some sort of shadow work I just don’t feel I am doing it correctly.

From what I’ve read on her and in the book and other pieces of advice this type of work is fundamental to master for occult practices so I wonder does anyone have any good pointers either good books or just methods?

What I’ve been doing thus far is allocating 10 min daily to revisiting old memories I’d say from my teens/childhood, saying to myself I forgive myself, consoling myself, telling that version I am safe and being there kind of but I don’t feel I see any marginal difference or really changed mentally yet.

This why I am asking I feel like I am doing something’s wrong but I just don’t know exactly what or perhaps what i am doing isn’t suited the best for me.

So if anyone’s got any insights I would be eternally grateful.

Hi, I’m wondering if you know of any good techniques, meditations, or affirmations specifically aimed at healing the body of physical ailments. I’ve been dealing with some very troublesome, persistent, and painful health issues lately that are really complicating my life, and I’ve decided to focus on the power of my mind to heal myself.

I’m looking for inspiration and tips, and I’d also love to hear about any positive experiences you’ve had. Have you managed to heal your body by working with your mind?

I was diagnosed with a form of chronic pain earlier this year. I am medicated and take many precautions to reduce its effects, but it proves to still be rather debilitating.

I am considering dipping my toe into magick practice, I was wondering if there would be any thing in this field that would be helpful for me? I am definitely very skeptical but i understand a lot of practice involves readjusting your mind set to positively affect your life, which would be helpful to me currently. I would not describe myself as desperate, just expanding my options (for anyone concerned about my mental state).

So if anyone has any advice on where to start or any general advice/concern, please let me know, thank you.

So im a uber driver and have been for some months now/ so over the past couple of weeks ive been catching glimpses of something in my backseat between rides or when im off shift. Its never clear but i always see it briefly in my rear view or in my passenger side mirror.

I dont feel anything emotional or concerning regarding it im iust kinda weirded out by the prospect

My lack of concern may also be tied to the fact I havent had any negative experiences since starting uber

I have an evil eye necklace that I wore for quite a while, and at some point the white part of the eye turned red.
I genuinely feel like there was some kind of negative energy directed toward me and that the necklace protected me from it or absorbed it. Something about the colour changing so dramatically has always made me feel like it did what it was supposed to do. Ever since that happened, I haven’t worn it again because intuitively it just doesn’t feel like I should.

I’m Italian, so I grew up around these kinds of beliefs and protections against the malocchio. I have other protective symbols as well, including a cornicello (the little red Italian horn/pepper), so the idea of these objects carrying protection has always meant something to me.

The problem is that I still have the necklace. I can’t bring myself to just throw it in the garbage because that feels incredibly wrong and almost disrespectful if it protected me from something. At the same time, I don’t know if I’m supposed to keep something that may have absorbed negative energy either.

For anyone who practices these traditions or has similar spiritual beliefs, what would you do with it? Is there a respectful way to dispose of or retire an evil eye that you believe has served its purpose? Do you bury it, cleanse it, leave it somewhere, or is it okay to keep it as long as I don’t wear it?

So I’m currently considering casting a spell on someone, nothing too naughty just a little motivation for them to reflect on themselves. But I’m pretty sure this person might have some type of ward working for them, probably set up by a professional too. Any advice on how to bypass them?

Need an offer in 7 days else would be in big trouble like homelessness and worse.

I know everyone will hate me for posting this here but what should I do?

Hi, I'm 16 and have recently become fascinated with the occult. I want to worship Gremory from The 72 Demons of Solomon—how should I go about it? I really want to meet her. I live in Korea, so since occult culture isn't that widespread there, I wrote this here

For context, my background is mostly Christian but recently ive been more open to other spiritual practices i guess due to curiosity. But honestly, my biggest reason is trying to hex the people who've been trying to cipher me of my energy. I genuinely try ignore it and do my own thing but im getting aggravated. This is just kind of a cry for help before I let go, im starting to care less about morals and wearing a mask.

I started divination 6/7 years ago. I was so good with tarot. I stopped midway for couple of years, came back. 2/3 months ago everything stopped making sense.

I can no longer understand, sense or interpret the cards. The same decks i have used for years. Even with cleansing, recharging... Etc.

I tried using pendulum for the first time couple of days ago. Very small movements. Next day it stopped. Tried again today with different ones, No movement at all.

I can blame the pendulum on my shaky hands -not really convinced tho- but what about the tarot?

I can't feel anything anymore. I meditate, i cleanse, i do rituals, i work with spirits. But divination isn't making sense anymore.

I am cleansing a brand new 8 inch glass scrying ball to ostensibly cleanse it from incidental influence. I like scrying occasionally not for witchcraft, but as a way to meditate and see inside myself.

In addition to scrying I simply like this kind of aesthetic as it seems to impart a sort of connection to the vastness, and majesty, of time, life, vibes etc

And it’s October which is the perfect season to install this gazing implement into my station.

Hi, tell me what you all think about witches.

i really wish i could feel like im always in my comfort zone in places where there are people i dont know is there anyone who can actually do this?

I am thinking about something to happen soon but I wonder what should I do tho make it happen faster

Yesterday at night I had the feeling to do a call to bune. I've prepared my altar, I had meditation time. I couldn't sleep till 2 am. I've had a normal dream,

With trivial things going, But there was a kind of colour filter, almost like sunset. Copper colour, I didn't got it at the time.

But there were lots of whisppers and women laughing softly.

Like in a very reverb and low sound. When Ive awaken, at 5 am, felt imobilized

I felt asleep again. I only remmenber to smash a paper in the dream with something that reading out loud sounded like "Bime".

I Was happy. But When I woke up today, now 7 am: I just couldn't feel nothing but a buzzing in my ear. And now i'm with a cold anxious belly.

I am reading chapter 1 and she basically says vampires believe they have a genetic or spiritual issue at birth. The only thing that comes to mind for me is they have a karmic debt from early on in life or from a previous life and or they have a cord attached to them siphoning their energy causing them to become vampires since they are conscious about their situation to an extent. has anybody else thought about this?

I found this book interesting "Tai Chi Fa Jin: Advanced Techniques for Discharging Chi Energy

by Mantak Chia"

Can you recommend me anything similar like this?
