These energies are part of me

[hermeticphoenix]

So I know an astral being, not personally but I knew about him online, who took the form of a human being based on the features of the locals in the Asian country where I stayed. He's a king in their kingdom and wants to stay with his human lover and protect her, even though she got married to another human man. It's almost impossible to draw his face or take pictures of him as there would always be anomalies or other mysterious events. So I used an AI generator and described how he could look, but obviously, this won't be 100% accurate. I think this picture is close enough. As I tried to use AI to generate his picture, there were technical anomalies, but I'm not sure if this is purely technical. I've been trying to communicate with him for some time, but his very busy and has dark astral enemies who could stalk you. Anyway, like my other content, I wouldn't force any of you to believe in this story but if you're intuitive or an initiate, then you'll know the answer.

You may wonder why there are two pictures. The first picture is supposed to be his "human form". The second one is his "real form". Honestly, he reminded me of Tolkien elves, except that the astral being has no philtrum.

Tips for Beginners in Occult Magic

Hi everyone! I want to share some tips for those starting out in magic or the occult. These are based on my personal experiences, so take what resonates and leave what doesn’t. Remember, practicing magic isn’t just about wonder and mystery—it also requires self-awareness and maturity.

1. Work on your body, emotions, and mind first.

A lot of beginners dive into magic driven by emotions like curiosity or the desire to gain powers. While that excitement is normal, it can also lead to burnout or even danger. When I started my Hermetic journey, I had to focus on building a strong foundation, like taking care of my body, managing my emotions, and understanding my mind. This meant observing my thoughts, dealing with my triggers, and staying aware of my biases. I also worked on being physically healthier (though I’m not saying you need to exercise every day or become vegetarian!). The point is: if you’re not taking care of yourself, both physically and mentally, it could affect your spiritual life too.

2. Explore the occult in your own culture.

When I started practicing, I focused on Western occultism, even though I’m not from the West. Over time, I realized how important it is to learn about the spiritual and magical traditions of your own culture. For me, this was tricky because a lot of knowledge here is passed down orally or kept within families. But I eventually learned that some local astral beings were influencing my life—for better or worse. This might not apply to everyone, but if your culture has magical practices, it’s worth looking into. Then again, I'm not saying that you should agree with them or practice them.

3. Balance emotion with logic.

It’s easy to get caught up in the emotional side of magic, but it’s important to learn objectively too. You’ll probably come across ideas or beliefs you don’t agree with, but that doesn’t mean they’re useless. Understanding different perspectives can help you grow as a practitioner—even if you don’t adopt those practices yourself.

4. Stay grounded.

It’s great to be passionate about magic, but don’t lose touch with the real world. Some people become so obsessed with the occult that they develop unhealthy habits or mental instability. This can even create unwanted energy forms (phantoms) that drain you over time. Remember, you’re still human. Take care of yourself and stay connected to the world around you.

5. Knowledge doesn’t make you better than others.

Having occult knowledge or abilities doesn’t mean you’re superior or more “enlightened” than anyone else. Unfortunately, I’ve met a few practitioners who became entitled or toxic—basically like spiritual snobs. Don’t fall into that trap. Use your skills wisely and responsibly. Avoid harming others unless absolutely necessary (e.g. protection or defense), and don’t let anyone take advantage of your kindness either.

6. Know what you’re working toward.

Having clear goals can help you stay focused. It’s fine to experiment and explore, but don’t try to master everything at once—it’s a recipe for burnout. Take things one step at a time, and be patient with yourself.

7. Reflect on your practice.

Check in with yourself regularly. Sometimes we get so attached to our practices or beliefs that we forget to question them. Ask yourself: How is this affecting my life? Is it helping me grow? Am I holding onto ideas that no longer serve me? Magic is a journey, and there’s always more to learn.

Practicing magic is a lifelong process—it’s not easy, and it’s not for the faint-hearted. You’ll face challenges, but the rewards are worth it if you stick with it. At the end of the day, the goal is to transform yourself and your life. Take what resonates from these tips, and feel free to leave the rest.

With love,

Phoenix

Understanding Moksha, Nirvana, and Maya: Clearing Misconceptions

There’s a lot of misunderstanding when it comes to concepts like moksha, nirvana, and maya, especially when compared to other spiritual systems like Kabbalah. Some claim that Hinduism and Buddhism overly focus on detachment or reject the value of the physical world. Let’s set the record straight.

First, moksha (in Hinduism) and nirvana (in Buddhism) are not about selfishly ignoring the world or its suffering. They’re about liberation—from ignorance, suffering, and the cycles of rebirth. Moksha refers to realizing one’s unity with the divine (Brahman), and nirvana involves extinguishing the fires of craving and ignorance, reaching a state of ultimate peace. Detachment, which is often misunderstood, doesn’t mean rejecting life or people. It’s about freeing yourself from unhealthy attachments, not apathy. The Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 2, Verse 47) explains this beautifully: “You have a right to perform your prescribed duties, but you are not entitled to the fruits of your actions.” This isn’t about abandoning effort but about doing your best without clinging to outcomes.

Similarly, Maya is often misinterpreted. It’s not saying the physical world is fake or pointless. Instead, it teaches that the physical realm is impermanent and part of a larger, interconnected reality. It encourages people to see beyond surface-level existence and understand the divine essence within and around them. The Chandogya Upanishad reminds us of this unity with its famous line, “Tat Tvam Asi” (You are That). Maya has nothing to do with the concept of "chosen ones" in a spiritual context. Anyone can recognize Maya and achieve liberation, not only selected individuals.

Buddhism has similar ideas. The Heart Sutra teaches that “form is emptiness, and emptiness is form,” reflecting the interplay between the spiritual and physical realms. Ethical actions in the physical world are vital for spiritual growth, as emphasized in the Dhammapada (Verse 183): “Not to do any evil, to cultivate good, to purify one’s mind—this is the teaching of the Buddhas.” Far from being selfish, this path involves compassion and wisdom. Also, don't forget the bodhisattvas and their sacrifices!

Now, let’s compare this to Kabbalah. Kabbalah also emphasizes the importance of both the physical and spiritual realms, teaching that the physical world is a mirror of the spiritual. The Zohar highlights this: “The higher world and the lower world are interconnected. The actions of people below awaken powers above.” This shows that engaging with the physical is not contrary to spirituality—it’s essential.

All these traditions agree that balance is key. The difference often lies in how these teachings are presented and interpreted. Misunderstandings can arise when someone oversimplifies or cherry-picks ideas, missing the broader wisdom.

It’s also important to recognize that all spiritual traditions have their strengths and weaknesses. They’ve evolved, shaped by culture, history, and the biases of followers for centuries. No single tradition represents the entirety of truth, and none is without flaws. It’s also important to practice what resonates with you and works for you—something you’ve had direct experiences with.

Before adopting any spiritual beliefs, it’s essential to remain balanced and use common sense. Question your own beliefs from time to time, and avoid becoming overly reliant on religious figures or communities. People are human, and perfection is subjective. You could face disappointment if they don’t meet your expectations. Spirituality is a deeply personal journey, and no path is universally “better” than another.

Check out the following texts for more information:

The Upanishads (such as Mandukya and Chandogya)

The Bhagavad Gita (Eknath Easwaran’s translation)

The Heart Sutra (from Mahayana Buddhism)

The Dhammapada

The Zohar and Sefer Yetzirah for Kabbalah

(This is a response from someone who claimed that Kabbalah is better than Hinduism and Buddhism since the former acknowledged that both physical and spiritual realms are important unlike the latter which she viewed as selfish. I have practice both paths, but I mainly practice Bardon hermetic system. Peace to you all!)

Understanding Mermaids and Water Spirits in the Astral Plane

In the astral plane, we find countless beings inhabiting specific regions based on their vibrational frequency. The water in the astral plane is similar to the water in the physical plane, and various entities inhabit these astral waters, including marine life and water spirits. When we think of water spirits, mermaids often come to mind. But what are they, and can all water spirits be considered mermaids?

First, we must understand the aura and composition of an entity's astral body. Mermaids and mermen are beings of the water element. They are considered water elementals not just because they primarily live in water, but because of the composition of their astral bodies. Human beings have five elements in their soul or astral body: fire, water, air, earth, and akasha. In contrast, mermaids and mermen have only one element in their soul, which is water. Thus, they are beings of the water element.

If you have well-developed astral senses, you may be able to see and interact with these beautiful water elementals. Mermaids and mermen are invisible since they are astral beings. They can change their appearance at will, but their natural form is typically that of a supremely beautiful woman or man. They can also remove their fish tails at will. Mermaids and mermen are pure, innocent, powerful, and wise. They embody love with extremely high empathy and compassion.

However, some astral beings may look like mermaids but are not. These beings reside in water but are not of water, meaning their astral bodies are not united with water in nature. Such beings may have a watery aura to some extent, but it is not the same as a mermaid's aura. They generally do not possess the traits of mermaids, such as innocence, empathy, and love. Some of these water entities can be benevolent, while others are more deceitful and malicious.

Not all beings that look half-human and half-fish are automatically mermaids or mermen. Magic is very possible in the astral plane, which is also inhabited by a multitude of beings with different abilities. Some of these astral beings can change their form and turn themselves into any creature at will. They could also make themselves similar to the appearance of mermaids or mermen, even if they do not possess a powerful water element in their astral body. This is why some mermaid-looking creatures might appear malevolent if they do something negative to humans. It is also possible that some humans misunderstand their interactions with actual astral mermaids, perceiving their encounters as negative or even frightening.

Therefore, not all astral water entities are mermaids and mermen, as these majestic beings possess only water in their aura. If an entity has weak water elements or no water elements in its aura, it is likely not a mermaid. Other benevolent astral beings live in the water, such as selkies, gorgons, and even krakens, but they are different from mermaids.

Dealing with astral beings can be challenging since they are not human, and we may have difficulty understanding them, just as they may have difficulty understanding us. Whether you wish to interact with them or not, we cannot deny the importance of the water element in our physical world, and we should learn to respect nature in all its aspects.

The Gnomes and Some Mouth Sores for some reason

Once, there was a family. They did not know that they lived near a gnome kingdom. The daughter would have unexplained severe mouth sores that no doctor could cure so they have to consult a spiritual healer to explain what is truly happening. Some gnomes can be seen in videos taken by the family, but it is their choice whether to show themselves.

Some extra-solar wanderers have difficulty connecting to certain elements. In fact, if they did, they experienced negative side effects. I become more interested in enhancing my earth element so I tried to invoke gnomes. The first time, it was partially successful. I stopped because of my sudden four mouth sores, which were painful. After the healing process, I began to do path working to enter the earth kingdom. There were gnomes busy with their work. It seemed that they never stopped working. I have a gnome guide and we went to a cave where another high ranking gnome waited for me. He has a very dark energy, not because he is evil. He has the power of silence in his aura, that is why he appeared in that way. Any ordinary human would be uncomfortable with his presence. He spoke of gemstones and their properties, as well as alchemy. He could sense my physical body. When I told him I have stomach issues, he said that it's because I am neurotic. He also told me that my mind is in a higher dimension and that I should focus my life on Earth, or do some grounding.

After that, I feel somewhat at home. Unfortunately, another mouth sore appeared in my inner cheek and my tooth began aching occasionally. It is so painful that I would rather go to sleep than do my usual activities. Hopefully, I will be healed soon. My strongest element is not earth but water, by the way.

A Dream of a Spiritual Horse and the End of Time

I rarely share my dreams since most of them are strange, but I might share them here soon. So this is my latest dream. I was in a city that looked like a blend of modernity and traditional, and there were people around me. It seemed to be a melancholic place for some reason and I felt the energy that the world is ending. This means that positively oriented human beings would ascend and reincarnate in the positive fourth density or the higher astral region. Then a horse appeared. It was glowing and had a pale skin, something like white, silver, and gray. It was a spiritual horse which came from the heavens but I knew intuitively that the time has come. Then I told my friends, I have to leave the physical realm since I have to go to the higher astral plane. Since I have the spirit of a phoenix, I saw myself burning then vanishing. After that, people began panicking, and some of them perished. I can somehow see what is happening, as well as my place in the astral plane where I would live. It looked like a beautiful paradise or upgraded version of Earth. There were people there already.

Foreword by Master Eiron

Magic is just the conscious use of energies that are aligned with the laws of each plane of existence. Without knowledge, one can still influence energies, although results may be uncontrolled and unexpected. To be conscious of energies is to learn and understand the laws of each plane as well as the bodies.

The human body is perfectly designed for spiritual enlightenment, although one may have difficulty utilizing magic as the physical body of human beings is frail and short-lived. This has an important purpose. DNA dictates the workings of the body. But since human beings become enamored with the sensual pleasures and illusions of the physical realm, most are unaware of how to influence their bodies using their minds. This may sound unbelievable, but the human mind is powerful enough to shape the world and influence reality.

First, we must work on spiritual healing, which can take years, if not centuries. The first step in spiritual healing is forgiveness. This includes the forgiveness of oneself and others. Failure to do this is often a result of attachments. The second step is acceptance, which also involves the acceptance of learning. One must be open to wisdom and experience. The third step is letting go of attachments. Each moment is new and unique, although it can be familiar or almost the same as before. Therefore, it is important to let go of the past and attachments. To do this, one must learn and understand the lessons going to be applied. The fourth step is love. Love is unconditional; therefore, human beings must love themselves the way God loves creation. The Divine accepts the truth in different forms, but the essence is still the same, no matter how distorted the perception of the observer is.

In the beginning, there is nothingness and non-existence. Within the net of nothingness is the wisdom of experience of endless possibilities. The endless possibilities are expressed in all dimensions, creating a domino effect. Therefore, all is known, and all is experienced.

There is only one law. The law is God. God is viewed and understood in different ways, just as God has infinite expressions. Since God is the law, there is only oneness. Since there is only oneness, there is no separation and no judgement. This is the ultimate expression. However, each reality and dimension have different laws. This is because of the various distortions of the one law. Therefore, each existence has a different function and destiny, but this does not change the one law. To understand one law is to understand the infinite expressions of God. All paradoxes have been solved.

Human beings are the microcosm, the temple of the Divine. The human body is the vessel, the house, and the temple. It is not prison, for the human body aids the soul to enlightenment. Therefore, human beings must take care of their health in all aspects.

Illusions cause separation. Separation causes a distorted view of God. Illusions are helpful in the spiritual journey, but to be enamored with illusions is to be trapped in the cycle of karma.

Therefore, one must make efforts to master the lessons in one lifetime. This is done by turning the mind inwards and not only outwards. Whoever has mastery over the lessons has less suffering.

Diwata: Divine Nature Beings of Philippine Mythology

In Filipino mythology and folklore, Diwatas are revered as divine or supernatural beings with a significant presence in the cultural and spiritual landscape of the Philippines. These ethereal entities are often described as benevolent spirits or deities closely associated with various aspects of nature, including forests, mountains, rivers, and other natural elements.

Origins of Diwatas

The origins of Diwatas trace back to ancient indigenous beliefs and animistic practices that have been passed down through generations. The term "Diwata" itself is derived from the Sanskrit word "devata," which means deity or divine being, indicating possible influences from Hindu-Buddhist traditions in the Philippines' early history.

Throughout Philippine history, Diwatas have been revered and worshipped by indigenous communities as guardians of the environment and protectors of the natural world. They are believed to inhabit sacred spaces such as forests, caves, and bodies of water, where they exert their influence and interact with humans.

Diwatas are often depicted as beautiful and powerful beings, embodying the essence of nature and possessing supernatural abilities. They are associated with fertility, abundance, and prosperity, and are invoked for blessings, protection, and guidance in various aspects of life.

As custodians of the natural world, Diwatas play a vital role in indigenous rituals, ceremonies, and traditions, where offerings and prayers are made to honor and appease these divine entities. Their presence permeates Philippine culture, influencing beliefs, customs, and practices across the archipelago.

Diwatas from Occult Perspective

Diwatas are entities existing within the etheric-astral plane, a realm beyond the physical world that encompasses infinite dimensions with varying energy vibrations. Unlike some etheric- astral beings that remain elusive and distant, Diwatas possess a more tangible presence, although they remain invisible to the naked human eye unless one has developed astral senses or the Diwatas choose to reveal themselves.

Diwatas are revered for their protective and nurturing qualities. However, they are not to be underestimated, as there are instances where they may administer punishment to individuals who have offended or harmed them, even unintentionally. Yet, Diwatas are known to be forgiving beings, often willing to pardon those who express genuine remorse and offer appeasements.

Diwatas are known for being divine entities, and not just nature spirits. They are revered for their beauty and wisdom, with depictions often portraying them as females with fair skin, flowing hair, and radiant countenances, although male Diwatas exist too. Within their realm, Diwatas maintain a hierarchical structure, with queens and other ranks guiding their society.

Aside from that, they serve as custodians of portals, treasures, and magical artifacts. They may entrust such items to human beings of high level of spiritual maturity but they can take them back if they are misused for selfish gains.

Diwatas, like other astral beings, possess free will. This means there are both benevolent and malevolent Diwatas, with the positive ones being more common. While encountering benevolent Diwatas may offer guidance and assistance, the malevolent counterparts can be challenging to deal with. They are quite powerful and deceitful, and they may even exert control over other astral beings if so inclined. However, interactions with malevolent Diwatas are rare, as they tend to be elusive and aloof.

What can we learn from these nature spirits? Diwatas urge human beings to take care of nature and animals, to guard our wealth properly, to be responsible for our actions, to do good works even when no one is looking, and most importantly, to remain humble when we attain fortune and blessings in life.

The Realm of the Bodhisattvas and Emptiness

The realm of the bodhisattvas is located in the higher regions of the spiritual universe. Unlike the realm of the deities, the realm of the bodhisattvas has very clear and pure energies. The same energy could make a person a thousand times more alive. It is also full of joy, celebration, wisdom, and compassion.

Bodhisattvas in Mahayana Buddhism are believed to be entities who delayed Nirvana to help those who needed help. Each bodhisattva is unique and has specific goals. Some bodhisattvas focus on helping non-human entities in higher dimensions, while others incarnate physically in the human realm.

The realm of the bodhisattvas is vast, and each region has a lesson to share, even from the smallest plant to the largest landscapes. It may seem strange to many people, but you do not have to go to the bodhisattva realm to experience the same thing. We can learn from nature, for example, as physical human beings.

The bodhisattvas have radiant and pure energy, much different from that of a deity. They also have very light and airy bodies, but they can change their form, although they have an original form that represents their qualities. But even their original form is changing.

Bodhisattvas also have an interesting aspect, which turned out to be connected to emptiness. This is also written in the Heart Sutra. In the essence of wisdom, there is emptiness. It can be challenging to understand but it is also somewhat paradoxical to some extent. But the ultimate reality is indeed emptiness, and within this emptiness, everything is possible and has full potential.

Once, a bodhisattva came to me and shared an important message to purify one’s energy. The bodhisattva said to always speak the truth, but humbly; to do good things, but not expect anything in return, and to be generous, but not take it to extremes. To do positive actions, one must do it wholeheartedly, aligning the mind with the wisdom of goodness, regardless of who you are helping. But use discernment, a highly valuable trait, to know whether the act of helping would be beneficial to a situation and to know the right person, place, time, and which action to take.

After connecting with the bodhisattvas, one can experience a sense of bliss, peace, and complete contentment. The bodhisattvas are already satisfied, for they do not form any attachments to anything they do. They are compassionate, but they also recognize the role of karma in everyone’s lives. They are wise, but they do not adhere to limiting belief systems. If human beings learn the power of emptiness, they can easily reach their goals, understand their desires, and eventually reach a higher consciousness.

The Deity Realms in the Mental-Astral Planes

The mental and astral planes encompass infinite dimensions, housing myriad inhabitants, some of whom are familiar to humans. Beings from the lower and middle astral planes have been encountered by humans for millennia. On rare occasions, entities from the higher astral and mental planes may also make contact. These higher-dimensional beings often possess advanced knowledge and may appear angelic or godlike. Among these higher realms reside deities.

Deities in the mental-astral plane exist across various dimensions, each with unique abilities and objectives. Some are devoted to imparting their wisdom to qualified individuals, including humans, while others remain disinterested in the human realm. The realm of deities not only houses these divine entities but also numerous subordinates.

These divine realms span diverse regions, often safeguarded by guardians to restrict access. Portals to deity realms are typically guarded by obstacles to prevent entry by lower astral beings. Human astral travelers may encounter such barriers and portals during their journeys.

Many astral beings revere and pay homage to these entities. Throughout history, humans have encountered deities in the mental and astral planes, with some being easily comprehensible from a human perspective, while others appear otherworldly.

Contacting higher-dimensional deities can be achieved through various methods, some simple and traditional, while others are more intricate and tailored to the specific entity. Regardless of the approach, these beings demand respect, akin to other entities in the spiritual realm. They possess profound wisdom that humanity has yet to fully comprehend.

Disclaimer: The views expressed in this article represent the perspective of a hermetic practitioner. The term "deities" refers to high-dimensional beings existing in the mental-astral planes. It's essential to understand that these entities are not synonymous with the Supreme Creator depicted in monotheistic religions. However, they possess a divine connection to the spiritual universe.  In hermetic practice, however, these deities are considered expressions of the One Divine Creator. As such, many hermeticists do not view them as inherently superior or better than human beings.
