Goetia Obsessed?
By the way, Fr:. BShH is me.
Hail All,
I am new to this forum. I have been lurking for quite sometime (a couple of weeks). This is a truly magickal place with some great minds. My question regards the current trend towards posts regarding the Goetia by fledgling mages (this is not derogatory).
Why?
I understand that you go boldly with no fear and that you desire, above all, RESULTS.
We all are on the path for one reason or the other and I find that many are on it to see how they can bend their reality.
I do not mean to be off-topic nor do I mean to be patronizing.
Here are my recommendations for newer mages seeking results based magick.
1. Put your heart and soul into your daily workings I AM has made tremendous resources available for your use. Do the LBRP, Middle Pillar, etc. Truly try to FEEL THE ENERGY, "Inflame thyself with Prayer". This will certainly get you results, not results that will scare your friends at a party, but results that will begin to change you for the better.
2. At the same time, we all want real results. I endeavor you to learn about Sigilization and utilize it. This is where I fear treading off-topic. Sigilization is considered Chaos Magick. In essence it has alot to do with Chaos Magick but it can work very well in a ceremonial setting you can use the whirling energy of the Middle Pillar in conjunction with the Circulation of the body of light to hurl your sigils into space. Try Creating sigils using Qabalistic correspondences. The best thing or perhaps sometimes the most scary thing about sigilization is that it works. I recommend following the TOPY initiation schema of doing 1 sigil a month for 23 months. There is a great mystery to this process and it can be a powerful form of self-initiation. Truly try to figure out what energies, things you want to bring into your life.
3. Learn about Servitors, yet another "Chaos Magick" idea that works excellently in a Ceremonial Magick setting. Use Phil Hine's Servitor Creation technique in conjunction with Qabalistic correspondences and Gematria, toss in some G:. D:. Telesmatic imaging and you will create a powerful entity. These entitities will be far easier to control at first, and exert your will upon, than goetic entities.
These are merely my recommendations for newer followers of the Ceremonial Magick path. I worked this path for a long while working through "Modern Magick" when I was around 13. I attained a state of balance quite early in life and went to seek my fortunes at 18, but with that balance came a period of rebellion against the Higher Will. The past 4-5 years has been that rebellion for me, during that wild time I explored extremely dark magick for "fun", and it was for awhile, but the laws of the universe can be unforgiving and has ways of steering you back on the path that are sometimes unpleasant. I recommend results based magick tempered with the discipline and self-analysis of a High Magickal system. I am back on that path myself and I feel better than ever, and the insights of my darker journeys help me to see that the way before me is indeed a splendoured path, with great potential for change. I only hope to share with you ways to get results without endangering yourself, if I sound namby-pamby realize I know what I speak from my experiences, which have both empowered and humbled me.
Namaste,
Fr BShH
