I sort of want to start working with angels/demons but not in like a demonology/angelology way or a named entities like Micheal or Beelzebub way, but in my own way.

The closest I can think is the Hellenic and I believe Roman concept of daimones (I can’t remember how to spell it). Not good/evil, just kind of there. Sometimes there to help you or guide you.

I definitely believe in entities that aren’t deities (because of an experience I had as a child), but I’m still figuring out if I believe they are like, completely supernatural or just human spirits. If that makes sense.

I like the idea that human souls stay one entity after we die, but I don’t know if I truly believe that. I learned growing up that good people become angels, I don’t even know if that is accurate to Christianity, my gramma who taught me was an,,, interesting person.

Then there is the whole thing that maybe what I saw as a child was just a my Goddess, or something like that. But why would a goddess want to protect me?

Anyway I’m ranting at this point. Thank you for reading this far if you did. I’d be interested if you have any experiences you want to share.

I wanted to do a public praise and thanks-giving post to Duchess Bune ✨

She really helped me to solve my financial problems, to present myself as a more charming and persuading individual, and she accompanied me on the buying process of our new home. I must really thank Her for her help

I really reccomend working with Bune if you need to improve yourselves at all levels. But you must work hard and persevere

The role of Helios in PGM III gets interesting once you understand the "shadow" that the magician wants to control as the soul. By invoking Helios, the magician wants to see the shadow that is the soul that is the personal daimon, and thus control their own self.

For more details, Eleni Pachoumi elaborates this much in her book The Concepts of the Divine in the Greek Magical Papyri, specifically when discussing PGM III. 612-32:

The magician thus strives to contact the shadow that is the soul that is the daimon, the part of themselves that is divine and also of the other side, in the underworld, or of the dead, in order that they might then control their own soul or self. With the help of the power of Helios, the magician aims to acheive a mystical identification with their own shadow.

Collective Channeled Messages from Anubis

Be illuminated to a higher perspective. When it comes to tradition, marriage, religion and the occult. Become more understanding and compassionate when it comes to our brethren as well. How is it that us gods and goddess's of death and renewal, of The Underworld, receive praise and respect from most but the demonic entities do not.

Too many forget they were once Ancient Gods themselves and still are. We are the same.

Their needs to be illumination and love to destroy the gateways that block us & you from the other side.

To realize that all magic has an purpose & a strength. As long as you are focused but don't take everything so seriously. You do not need to sacrifice to protect yourselves & be reduced to an organization that promises love and protection in return only to keep repeating cycles of the past.

Release that to see the beauty & peace without a strategy or control over your temptations.

Have the confidence to create the abundance to inquire about who is in leadership. Expand & be content with the redemption of others who have plenty. (I think he's talking about the rich and those in power here.)

Use your inventiveness to discover your true dedication to your faith. Does it give you pleasure & self esteem or does it trick you into believing it is authentic only to bring war & chaos, does it manipulate you into believing the same of demonkind?

Instead of bringing healing through your own personal power & equality of justice for creation.

Have trust in your skills and take pleasure in taking action towards a new beginning. That which brings prosperity & compassion with the power of new cycles.

That which feels like home. Supportive, inspirational & flowing where there is beauty in the darkness. It feels like home because we are all from the same place, The Underworld.

There is beauty in death, transformation.

It is only perceived as fear & rage instead of unity, because of your own flaws with what perfect is instead of being an individual.

(Humans) need to remove those obstacles and commit to a higher wisdom (their higher self) in order for there to be hope of balancing the light & dark.

Be mindful, think for yourself! (He sounded disappointed and bit upset) Stop with the extremes your "hell" is not all lust & pain. Your ancestors, your legacy comes from The Underworld (not all but most) and they have something to say.

Listen with clarity. Swift communication, wise communication is coming from the darkness to the dawn to bring resolution, listen!

The rest of the messages were personal to me.

RR Pod E26 Prof. Dr. Wouter J. Hanegraaff: Hermetic Embodiment, Interpretation, & Imagination It was my pleasure to speak with Prof. Dr. Wouter Hanegraaff about his new book, Hermetic Spirituality and the Historical Imagination: Altered States of Knowledge in Late Antiquity. As Wouter preferred not to give a general summary, I chose four very important themes of the book to discuss: what the Hermetica is really all about; the notion of embodiment in the Hermetic texts; the difficult but extremely important task of interpreting the ancient texts; and the importance of the faculty of the imagination - not only within the Hermetica, but also for the scholar trying to understand what the texts are actually saying. Wouter does an excellent job of explaining the terms gnosis and nous (that Wouter calls the "hero of the book") and how they are used within the Hermetic texts; these terms are crucial for the rest of the discussion.  Following the four themes, Wouter discusses in more detail how Platonism influenced the Hermetica, how Gadamer's concept of hermeneutics plays a role in the process of understanding these texts, the paradox of how we think about the term imagination, and how Wouter tries to 'systematically privilege weirdness' when studying the Hermetic texts.
