GIRP Fire, with Divination

Ave,

Performed the GIRP Fire as directed by divination-I needed to determine whether I should spend more time working with the force. Communion and divination revealed I needed to perform the GIRP once more for a specific purpose; to ask for Wisdom and Understanding of the element of Fire. I performed the battery as normal but with the recent addition of the LIRP directly before the GIRP, which worked quite well. I felt a receptivity to the force. The invocations hit me harder, in a good way.

After stating my intent and performing the Middle Pillar, I sat in the throne to meditate. I immediately saw a red triangle-a good sign. I continued the circulation, and then fell into vision. I felt as if I were an unborn infant. I was surrounded with red and gold, blood and flesh. I was still, and then I was struck! My heart began to beat, the bio-electricity flowed throughout me. The vision stayed here for a moment, and then I was born out into the world. At this point the perspective changed to the third person--I watched the baby as it took in it's first breath, and that breath was laced with Solar fire. The vision moved forward, and I saw myself as a teenager. My body again was lit with Fire, as the hormonal changes of puberty worked their magic to start another kind of growth. Again, the vision moved forward, and I lay with my wife-we are both transparent, and the Fire within us combines to empower new life. I asked where it went from there, but the vision was still--I felt it was being communicated that this was the natural culmination of that particular kind of Fire energy, that the life creating cycle was a sort of culmination. It was quite a vision.

It faded, and I continued to meditate upon the red triangle. Next, I saw myself projecting the red light that symbolizes fire, and I was struck yet again! The force that is Fire isn't something that can be visualized, it is formless by nature. The symbols I use to work with it are exactly that, symbols. They aren't the force itself, and each individual symbol may describe one aspect of the force but doesn't capture it's whole. Even the descriptions of Fire that we use (heat, expansion, growth) describe some functions of the force, but they aren't the force. For example- I am tall, dark skinned, with black hair and a burly build. This is an accurate description of my appearance, but the description isn't me. I'm not sure I'm describing this correctly, but it was a revelation.

The rest of the ritual went well. I was very grateful, and expressed my thanks. The subject of fire is massive, everyone of the elements is a multi-varied and subtle force. It will take more than one session to gain the full understanding of it, but all I need to do is meditate on the triangle to receive further vision, which I fully intend to do.

In LVX,

Working brujeria for others is often thankless and time consuming.

Sala Malongo, Man, y'all. I find that I now spend the vaaaaast majority of my sorcerous/meditative time doing work for others. Which is awesome in many ways, as I've gotten very skilled at what I do. I've got no time for the experimentation, though. No time just fooling about. Sometimes I'm tempted to just say fuck it, and return to just doing things for myself....but I'm a priest, a Tata Nkisi. So I have duties beyond entertainment, and beyond my own development. Gotta balance this stage in the life as well. It's interesting, at the very least. I would have been overjoyed when I was a young aspiring wizard in my 20's to have this kind of problem, haha. Now I look back wistfully at the days when I could meditate for 4 hours straight--or at all-without scheduling a meeting with myself on Google Calendar. Many of the folks who are clients become good friends, some become students, others end up becoming sorcerer/priests themselves. And they are a bless...

The disastrous effect of Pornography on Theurgy

 Ave, First off.....I'm no Puritan. I'm a huge fan of sex and its healthy expression. I'm a 31 year old American fellow; I practically grew up on the interwebz, and that means plenty of nudity and porn. Especially during my relatively barbaric early twenties. Lots of men my age will tell you they never enjoyed porn, or rarely watched it when they were young. These men are filthy,  filthy liars. It didn't become so mainstream because it was watched so seldom. There may be the occasional gent who avoided partaking, but I give him no credit; that sort of avoidance, built on fear of discovery and hidden shame, is shameful in itself. Like with most things, better to dare, be burnt, and learn than to sit in front of the fire with a trembling cowardice in the face of overwhelming curiosity. Just stay off of /b on 4chan, and you'll come out alright. The issue with pornography isn't a Moral issue. As long as everyone involved is a willing participant, mor...

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...
