GIRP Fire, and Salamanders

Ave,

I performed the GIRP Fire-under unusual circumstances-today. I planned the timing out so that elemental tide and Planetary hour were positive....and ended up having to perform the ritual outside instead of my usual temple space.

This was interesting-having the wind blowing and the moon shining down added a certain something to the ritual. Also, wearing simple clothing and not robes helps keep passerby from assuming you're a madman.

I was not about to miss this window, though-I went out and got it done.

The ritual resulted in a couple of notable things-one was an introduction to a Salamander. He told me that he was local-that when summoning elementals the specific one you get depends on who's around. That's assuming your call is general, and you don't have a particular entity in mind. For some reason Salamanders have been lizards in my head-I've read too many fantasy novels in my day...the thing stood much like a man, only it wasn't solid. It was (of course) composed of flame and heat in my vision. It spoke clearly and quickly. It was very willing to assist me, and seemed very eager to Do Something, whatever that something might be.

Another interesting bit was the vision I saw while performing the ritual-normally I don't see the actual Element invoked surrounding me, but this time I closed my eyes after the Invocation, opened them, and saw a ring of fire and eyes around me.  Not as if they were physical of course, but layered over my vision in the way of these things. Large eyes, lot's of undulating, moving fire. The colors were rich, and mostly bright. This was strange and unexpected; it would have been perfectly normal were I Scrying, but this was a purely Invocatory ritual. Perhaps it had to do with the ritual timing. Who can tell with these things? There are so many possible variables. We'll see if this is consistent-perhaps I've lucked my way into better clairvoyance. Not holding my breath on that on.

  1. This is a very interesting observation. We know that the right timing has some influence in results (or should have) but here you really have proof. I wonder what the salamander was eager to do (yo unever know, maybe a trap?)

  2. Ave Fra Arcad,

    I didn't actually summon the fellow; I invoked the Element, and he just sort of stepped out of the ring I perceived outside of my circle...so I didn't give him anything in particular to do, only made his acquaintance. I'm wary of spiritual entities that volunteer their services unrequested....The studies are going very well-I'm finding the new curriculum/information available to be very stimulating!

    I hope that your studies are going smoothly as well, Frater,

Results: Spagyric Tincture using an unknown flower

I've created and refined my first spagryic tincture, and gotten results from it's use! For those not in the know, a spagyric tincture is an alchemical product made using a plant. The Process is deceptively simple; the results immediate and powerful. To create spagryic tinctures, the following equipment is required: 1 Mason Jar 1 Mortar and Pestle 1 Knife, blessed in Ritual Spagyric Supplies 1 Plant, that will be evolved by our Alchemy 1 Container containing a pure Alcohol 1 Retort 1 Butane Burner w/Fuel 1 Tripod/stand for the Retort Filtering Paper-lab grade is nice, but a couple of coffee filters will do just fine. 1 ceramic container for heating 1 Receiving Flask You will need some plastic wrap-to cover the lid of the Mason Jar, to prevent the metal from contacting the tincture. First Method Pick the plant during either the Planetary hour of the pow

Golden Dawn--WTF

Ave, I've been trying my level best to not talk about this latest eruption of foolishness, but good folks are being dragged through the mud (on both sides), and I've grown weary. This whole thing is a steaming pile of bullshit. No one is trying to "destroy" the Golden Dawn, that's just silliness. No one is trying to become the only "legitimate" Golden Dawn order either. I'm sickened by this display. Argue in a scholarly fashion! When did this sniping nonsense become the norm? A debate between honorable and wise gents (both of whom I consider Brothers in the Work) like Fraters AM and SR about the Sabbatian Qabbalah would be wonderful, if we could cut all the bullshit out. Quality conversations, ya'll.  Skip the vitriol, the name calling and the idiotic marketing methods. Yes, it is idiocy. This "McGolden Dawn" nonsense is stupid.Ya'll. GROW THE FUCK UP. For the record, The A+O's transmissions are valid, they are real. T

Bullshit Siddhis

Nsala malongo, So.....powers. They exist. You work your alchemy, and they start popping up. It isn't what you expect. It's not like the comics. Subtle things happen. You get a little something here, a big something there. Some of them appear useless at first. Some years ago, after work in the upper cinnabar field, I gained the dubiously awesome ability to see a sort of spirit double floating around people. At first I was BEYOND stoked, and thought I was well on my way toward ascension from my normal state into a vicious and powerful spiritual overlord, as was foretold. By me. When I was like, fourteen. Then, after the wonder wore off, I realized that this was absolutely useless. The double gave me no information about the person, no power to manipulate myself or the other. It was just there. So. Countless hours of heat and concentration, and the end result was this? Of course it *was* useful in the long-run, as a mark of my developing spiritual s
