Unpopular Opinions Pt.2

Having beginner spaces is important, however right now there is a lack of good advanced and intermediate spaces.

And I understand that with the rise of magic in social media that we’re going to have a disproportionate amount of beginners to advanced individuals.

It is just frustrating, I wish there were more active spaces for this sort of thing. When there isn’t that community for the rest of us, we aren’t being creatively challenged as a collective anymore. There’s a lack of those sort of heavy discussions and conversations that keep us growing as practitioners. Idk I’m just rambling out of frustration.

If anyone knows or any good ones please let me know.

All my love, Psychopomp

Weird Ingredients/Components

Here is a short list of weird ingredients/components that I have used in various magical practices. Beside each of them you will see the method of acquisition or source of the ingredient/component.

shadows- Bag of Night (enchanted object)

fungal spores- harvested local fungi

light- crow feathers

kraken ink- Kraken Rum bottle

gargoyle dust- gargoyle statue

lamprey saliva- Jarred Horror (enchanted object)

cat eyes- cat's eye gemstones

bird hearts- small bell jar

human ashes- Asian art urns

tiger eyes- tiger eye gemstones

pufferfish flesh- preserved pufferfish

monk blood- Benedictine brandy bottle

peace- olive oil bottle

rage- French mustard crock (the brand name is a pun)

essence of enlightenment- Lucky Buddha Beer bottle

frog slime- strange carved frog bottle

preserved flesh of redheads- Scottish Ginger Preserves jar

devil claws- bag of devil's claw herb

brain fluid- pieces of Native American method tanned leather

As you can guess some of these obviously require certain spells to acquire. I am not going to disclose them of course, but if you can figure a way to do similar things yourself then more power to you! I hope that you find this interesting and of inspirational value to your personal practice.

is it valid to say that based on kris' reaction to coming home to sans and toriel that they look like hella uncomfortable

and is it also valid to say i like sans undertale ultimately more than i do sans deltarune

i don't really like deltarune sans much either lmao, it's like i said once: he's not sans undertale YET. he needs to lose everything he has before he gets to have even a sliver of the presence and love i have for him in undertale. he gets a couple of pretty fun gags in DR, and with the next chapter dealing with bitter jealousy according to gerson (it's not a coincidence soriel got #confirmed at the end of chapter 4 when asgore's been Like That), it's possible he might get a bigger role going forward. which i have to say feels really fucking weird tbh, but I'll let toby and the team cook.

"Where do summoned creatures come from?" asked Melar. "Are they assembled from raw energy like illusion, or do they have real existences in some other place, from whence we snatch them as we need them?"

(From Philip Rennert's short story "Master's Thesis, The Space Gamer 62, April 1983, with Denis Loubet illustration)

Combatants in Metagaming's Wizard could conjure illusions or summon physical creatures to fight for them. The Summon Myrmidon spell produced an armed human with no apparent free will. In this tale young Melar devises a series of experiments to summon warriors and attempt to awaken their true personalities and determine their origin. Unfortunately for the entire wizard guild the process works, and one of the summoned men escapes with the knowledge of who has been randomly abducting so many of his people and returning them with fatal wounds.

Money Bowl Tips ✨💸

I absolutely adore doing money bowls. They serve as an amazing way to build up abundant energy and help with layering your workings. They’re a fairly straightforward working that you tend to by continually feeding it energy or ���working” the spell. Let’s jump into some tips.

1.) Have a schedule with it. I recommend feeding your bowl energy fairly often, ideally weekly on Thursdays, but at least once a month. Thursdays are connected to Jupiter which is the planet connected to wealth and abundance. 🪐

2.) Add a candle. A fairly low energy way to keep up with tending to your bowl is to spell a candle for it. After it’s prepped and ready, place it in the bowl. Lighting the candle will feed the bowl energy. 🕯️

3.) The base is just as important as the rest of the bowl. Commonly you use salt or rice for the base. I recommend going a little extra with it. Recently I’ve been into making spell crafted cinnamon salt and using that as my bowl base. Put energy and intention behind making your bowl’s base. It’s literally the foundation of this spell!

3.) *some* herbs you can use in money workings: Alfalfa, dill, basil, chamomile, bay leaves, catnip, oranges, cloves, lemongrass, jasmine, cinnamon, allspice, ginger, mints, star anise, cats claw, and oregano. There are a bunch of options. These ones just have direct correspondence to money drawing.

4.) Set goals for your bowl. Whenever you feed your bowl, focus on this goal you’re driving towards. With money magic you ideally want to be as specific as you can be. These can be long term or short term goals. I usually focus on long term and building stability and sustainable energy flowing to that goal.

I hope these tips bring some ideas for making your own money bowls. 🖤🌱

Planetary hours, days, and themes—

Referenced from “Magical Symbols and Alphabets”

A planetary day runs from sunrise to sunset. It is split between 12 hours of daytime and 12 hours of nighttime (pp.45).

The easiest way to use planetary energy for timing events is according to their associated days of the week…a planet’s (power) symbol can be drawn on objects for spells or carved on a candle for meditating on the planet’s associated qualities (pp.40).

Killing Cancer, a Personal Experience

In my personal experience it is possible for a very skilled and experienced necromancer to enhance a cancer patient's fight against the dreaded disease. This is done through a advanced practitioner's ability to mimic vampirism. With very fine control and unflinching willpower it is possible to use this technique to drain the life force from cancer cells thereby weakening them and making them more easily killed by modern medical treatments.

I learned this technique for the spirit of a energy vampire with whom I dallied with for several years. It can also be used to drain the life force from things such as infections, viruses, and parasites. In addition it can be used on such things both inside and outside the body. Furthermore it can also be used to in the same manner on other organism that you are familiar with such as household pets.

The individual I first used this on is a relative who was diagnosed with leukemia in her 70's. She beat it into remission and it has been that way for over twelve years now. Every so often I dedicate a time to reusing this technique on her to ensure that I weaken any cells that may reappear.

Note: Please be aware that this in no way should replace actual medical cancer treatments done by proper medical professionals. It is merely something that can be done alongside medical treatment. In addition I would highly recommend that this not be attempted by beginning practitioners or anyone who does not have a considerable number of years of energy manipulation experience. Getting this wrong could cause immense damage to the individual that you are trying to help.

Let’s Discuss: Energetic Cleansing

Let’s get some clarifying details out the way before we get into the material.

This article assumes that you already know + can execute the basics of energy work without the hang-ups that a beginner would get stuck on.

It’s not going to hold your hand discussing theories about energy, the astral realm, etc. Intermediate practitioners are the target audience for this passage.

Don’t know if you’re intermediate or a beginner? Here’s a difficulty benchmark for this article:

Do you know how to safely cast a functional + effective spell without having to be supervised by an elder for safety?

Are you able to direct and cast that energy with absolute confidence in your ability to do so?

If yes to both, this article is relevant to your skill level.

If no to either:

You can use this article as study material to go over with a spiritual elder.

If you’re a solitary practitioner, use this article as supplemental material for your research under your own discretion.

If you’re a complete beginner and feel like you’re going to end up with more questions than answers, continue doing more research + practice on the basics and save this for later when you feel ready.

Now that we’ve gotten those important details out the way, we’ll begin our discussion.

About cleansing

“Spiritual cleansing” is a term frequently thrown around in witchy and spiritualist spaces alike. “Energetic cleansing” is commonly used interchangeably with “spiritual cleansing.”

The general definition of cleansing is removing/clearing any energy that’s considered “negative” or “toxic” – which in turn causes spiritual blockages that could hinder manifestations, health, growth, prosperity, etc.

It’s a broad definition. For practical application of cleansing in your craft, I want to offer some extra details that can support you in crafting your cleansing works.

Factors to consider in your cleansing works

Why you’re cleansing depends on the situation. Sometimes you need a sterile environment for raising a specific energy in your circle. Other times, you’re aiming to “reset” the ambience of a space (e.g - after a house party, you cleanse any lingering foreign energies that have been brought in by your guests.)

The form of your cleansing rituals will depend on the following factors:

What energy you’re intending to cleanse / “wash” away

The subject you’re directing cleansing energy to (e.g talisman, room, shoes) + your relationship to the subject AND the energy that you’re cleansing away.

The magnitude (power) of the energy you’re trying to cleanse away.

Depending on what you’re facing, you could end up with a simple cleansing ritual, or a more aggressive and targeted ritual. We’ll go over the factors in detail.

– What energy you’re intending to cleanse / “wash” away

A lot of power lies in names. Naming a person, naming a phenomenon, naming an energy… a name can reveal a lot of context and information you wouldn’t be able to get otherwise.

The clearer you name an energy you’re trying to cleanse away, the more effective that the cleansing will get. Even if you don’t know the name of what you’re trying to cleanse away, describing its presence, physical manifestations, and energy signature is enough to distinguish it from just any other energy around you.

Identification of what you’re working with allows you to better understand:

Your relationship to that energy (harmonious? chaotic? stable? unpredictable?)

The magnitude of that energy (how pervasive its energy is astrally AND physically)

How that energy affects the subject (which you should take into consideration while crafting your cleansing!)

Not only does it help with the above, distinguishing the negative/undesired energy will help you have a better time with your recordkeeping. Whether you keep note of your rituals through a notebook, binder, or online journal, having specific energies charted down can help you recognize symptoms of its presence again.

(A rather loose) Example: Natalie is moving into a new apartment, and she feels an unsettling heaviness in the master bedroom. She can’t tell if the heaviness is an entity, or residual energy from an event that happened before she moved in – nobody mentioned anything about someone dying here or anything…

Regardless, she sets out to investigate for an answer on how to clear it up. After taking necessary precautions (insert Natalie doing a protection prayer here), she stays in the room to observe what emotions and sensations come up. She records the following:

The longer she sits there, an unexplainable feeling of bleakness comes up.

The room feels like it’s closing in, almost suffocating.

She doesn’t pick up any usual signs of an active entity inhabiting a space.

Based on the observations she made (+ if applicable, any input from her ancestors / guides) she concludes that the dense energy she’s feeling is residual emotional energy that has culminated over time in this space. After determining this amount of information is enough, she labels this specific heaviness as “this room’s emotional past.”

Now that she has successfully identified + named the specific energy she’s wanting to clear away, she can move on to crafting the cleansing energy she will cast within this room.

Now, think about the last time you cleansed the energy of a space. At that moment, you were Natalie.

How did you handle it?

What did you use to distinguish that undesirable energy from everything else?

What did you use to record your findings about that energy? Was the energy ever recurrent?

If you have a solid grasp on this part, we’re moving on to the next one.

– The subject you’re directing cleansing energy to (e.g talisman, room, shoes) + your relationship to the subject AND the energy that you’re cleansing away.

It’s important to recognize the subject that you’re directing cleansing energy to, since you want to ensure that your cleansing energy isn’t interfered with / nullified by other forces. With recognizing the subject, you’re also tasked with the duty of acknowledging your relationship to the subject.

If you’re cleansing something like your house, something filled with your own personal energy – you likely don’t have to worry about anything getting in between your cleansing ritual unless you’re dealing with more extreme circumstances (e.g possession, haunting, etc..).

If you’re cleansing something that has heavy past energetic/spiritual ties to another’s energy, you’ll want to make sure you read the energy of that subject thoroughly to ensure that you’re sending the proper amount and type of energy necessary to cleanse away your undesired energies.

Due to how situational energetic ties to specific subjects are, it’s better for me to give factors for you to consider when crafting your cleansing spell.

Consider your relationship to any existing history with the subject (e.g if you were cleansing a talisman, are you initiated within the tradition / culture necessary for you to work with said energy?)

Note any prominent energy signatures you pick up within the subject.

Note any prominent spirits and archetypes related to the subject, along with you / your cleansing energy’s relationship to it.

If you pick up any energetic points that give off high activity (abnormally high amounts of a specific type of energy, or in some cases some energetic points acting like a portal) note that down as well.

Use all the recorded details to come to a conclusion about how to effectively counter (which in turn, allows you to cleanse) said factors in your cleansing spell.

– The magnitude (power) of the energy you’re trying to cleanse away.

The main reason I wanted to point out magnitude is because I know that there are a lot of practitioners out here doing the work in the mud for their communities – for this group of people, it’s easy for them to come across heavy energies that are way too difficult and potentially unsafe for the average practitioner to address. For example:

Situations where ancestral curses run DEEP in the energetic field of your subject.

Subjects where extreme trauma + ill intentions (murder, sexual assault, suicide, etc) are significant in their signature.

When you start practicing outside of your daily life, you get exposed to just how fucked up reality can get + just how malicious entities can be. It's important to know your depths and what you’re able to handle.

Do NOT entangle yourself in any energetic situations that you know little about.

I’ve observed that when this happens, it’s usually because someone else dragged them into it (whether it be intentionally or not).

Know your limits, educate yourself on what you’re entering, and double down on your protections.

If you’re being initiated into something, make sure to get the “fine print” of what you’re truly getting yourself into.

If you find yourself becoming overwhelmed by specific energies to the point that it’s affecting your physical wellbeing, STOP and withdraw to recover ASAP.

Keep your protections, spiritual hygiene, and energetic cords updated and strictly moderated, especially if you are frequently involved with any work that regularly requires tapping into external/foreign energies. Staying on top of spiritual hygiene is a given, but the severity in consequences varies by the practitioner’s activities. Slacking can be a minimal issue for some, but a devastating mistake for others.

Conclusion

Feel free to use this as a general reference when crafting your cleansing works, or a little checklist to see if you’ve covered all the cornerstones that you’ve needed. Hopefully this document serves you well.

Baneful Magic Requires Trigger Discipline

Apply the Four Universal Laws of Gun Safety to your magical practice and you'll be golden.

Always assume all guns are loaded. For some reason I will never fully understand, a lot of people do baneful magic under the assumption it isn't actually going to work. When you're doing baneful magic, you need to assume that it will work, and that it will work devastatingly, to its fullest capacity.

Don't point your gun at someone you aren't prepared to kill. Don't do any magic if you aren't prepared for it to do exactly what you asked it to do. If you cast a spell with the potential to kill someone, you have to be prepared for it to do that. If you cast a spell that could destroy someone's family, you need to be prepared for it to destroy the family in any way the magic sees fit. If you aren't ready for that, don't fucking do it. When I made a poppet of some fucker who attacked my goddaughter, and started breaking its bones, I was fully prepared to actually break his bones. When he ended up in the ER for an injury on the same limb I had just broken, I accepted that as the consequences of my actions. If you don't know how to set and enforce parameters on a spell, don't use a spell that can do things you aren't ready for.

Keep your finger off the trigger until your target is lined up and you have made the decision to shoot. Don't just be flinging shit out into the universe. Don't send out a spell until you have fully laid out what it will do, what you won't allow it to do, the consequences, the sacrifice, and everything else. Don't cast that spell until you are fully confident in your informed decision.

Always be sure of your target, and know what is around and behind it. Make sure you're going after the right person. Make sure you're aware of all of the various ways that this spell can impact the people around that person. Make sure you can accept those consequences. Make sure you can deal with any magical repercussions for your spell.
