- 3:39Speaker 3: gonna be starting a sub staxtuone which is going to
- 3:41Speaker 3: be even more unhinged. The deeper you go, the weirder
- 3:44Speaker 3: it's going to get. Uh like that in general, man, Like,
- 3:49Speaker 3: that's it's my thing. My thing is magic that works
- 3:52Speaker 3: and getting better at it sounds good.
- 3:55Speaker 2: I like the way that sounds all right. Uh So,
- 3:59Speaker 2: I mean regular question that always seems to be yes
- 4:02Speaker 2: to me whenever I go on a new show, So
- 4:04Speaker 2: I might as well just go with the same thing.
- 4:07Speaker 2: What was it that I guess got you to even
- 4:10Speaker 2: get into the occult or so entertaining that stuff?
- 4:13Speaker 3: My dad does it? Yeah, Like my father's a solemnonic
- 4:16Speaker 3: magician and a folk magician. You know. When I was
- 4:20Speaker 3: thirteen because when things growing up, I always knew that
- 4:22Speaker 3: magic was real because he proved it. That was the
- 4:24Speaker 3: biggest thing. He proved it to me. He was like,
- 4:27Speaker 3: I don't want you to think that this is fake.
- 4:28Speaker 3: I don't want you to think of them making shit up.
- 4:29Speaker 3: And he would be like, tell me to do something,
- 4:31Speaker 3: what do you want and he would do it and
- 4:33Speaker 3: it would always happen. He'd be like, tell me what
- 4:35Speaker 3: you need to know, and he could know things that
- 4:37Speaker 3: he shouldn't be able to know. He was able to
- 4:39Speaker 3: do all this shit. And he was like, when you're thirteen,
- 4:41Speaker 3: you get to start too. And I'll tell you, man,
- 4:44Speaker 3: between ages twelve and thirteen, I was chomping at the
- 4:46Speaker 3: fucking bit, you know what I mean.
- 4:47Speaker 2: I was.
- 4:48Speaker 3: I was doing everything I could to get there. And again,
- 4:51Speaker 3: you know, looking back, having the live wire of like
- 4:54Speaker 3: real magic in my hands as a hormonal teenager, probably
- 4:57Speaker 3: not the uh, probably not the best thing for like,
- 5:02Speaker 3: you know, living a normal, less unhinged life. But he
- 5:05Speaker 3: didn't really give a shit and that's how I got started.
- 5:08Speaker 3: And from there I met teachers that either knew him
- 5:11Speaker 3: or I would do magic to meet other teachers, you know,
- 5:13Speaker 3: ask spirits to bring me mentors and things. And it's
- 5:16Speaker 3: been a lifelong obsession for twenty four years now.
- 5:20Speaker 2: Nice. Oh wow, that's a long time. Actually, yeah, some
- 5:24Speaker 2: amount of time, dude. Yeah, you know, it's it's interesting
- 5:28Speaker 2: to hit me with the folk magic. I mean, you
- 5:30Speaker 2: mentioned that earlier too. What would you consider for the
- 5:34Speaker 2: listeners who mean not actually, because I don't think I've
- 5:36Speaker 2: really ever had anybody on for folk magic. What would
- 5:39Speaker 2: be your, I guess definition of folk magic for people?
- 5:41Speaker 3: So it's it's defined very differently, honestly, just set at
- 5:45Speaker 3: the risk of being a little bit spicy. Depending on
- 5:48Speaker 3: how political a person is, you're going to get a
- 5:49Speaker 3: different answer you're gonna get, you know. And again it's
- 5:53Speaker 3: from from from my perspective. When I say folk magic,
- 5:56Speaker 3: what I mean is things like candle magic, make poppets,
- 6:00Speaker 3: making charm bags, doing things like that, But it goes
- 6:03Speaker 3: a little deeper than that in a more operative, animistic fashion. Now,
- 6:07Speaker 3: the biggest thing is regionally in the United States, you're
- 6:10Speaker 3: gonna have different kinds of folk magic. So most people
- 6:13Speaker 3: when they hear about like folk magic, the thing about
- 6:16Speaker 3: who do now? Who do? Suffers from not a lie
- 6:19Speaker 3: but an academic distortion. So Harry Hyatt wrote his Higatt
- 6:22Speaker 3: material and that became the only written idea for a
- 6:26Speaker 3: long time on who do So people associated with Delta
- 6:30Speaker 3: regional who do now? If you study who do for
- 6:33Speaker 3: example in Macon, Georgia, which I did, and in various
- 6:35Speaker 3: parts of Appalachia, you'll see entirely different systems. There's a
- 6:39Speaker 3: book called American Shamans by a guy called Jake Richards
- 6:42Speaker 3: who interviews in the seventies a bunch of practitioners of
- 6:46Speaker 3: conjure folk magic who do work. It's all different words
- 6:49Speaker 3: for the same thing. People hate me for saying that,
- 6:50Speaker 3: but it is, and you will see a lot more
- 6:53Speaker 3: focused on out of body experiences, psychic development, speaking to
- 6:58Speaker 3: the spirits within things as opposed to simply I'm going
- 7:01Speaker 3: to light a candle. Now, don't get me wrong. A
- 7:02Speaker 3: good folk magician, you don't want them burning a candle
- 7:05Speaker 3: on you because they can hurt you. The biggest thing
- 7:07Speaker 3: that I would say about folk magic that people lose
- 7:10Speaker 3: out on is the depth of it, and that can
- 7:12Speaker 3: be found the example of putting live things in somebody,
- 7:15Speaker 3: The idea of producing physical snakes, worms, parasites in a
- 7:20Speaker 3: person that they vomit up using only magic.
- 7:22Speaker 2: I have heard of it.
- 7:23Speaker 3: This is a thing that has been documented in the
- 7:25Speaker 3: US newspapers forever. In fact, some of our earliest poisoning
- 7:29Speaker 3: laws are as a result of slaves making human figures
- 7:34Speaker 3: of somebody and praying over them, because a spiritual poison
- 7:38Speaker 3: was considered and ought to still be considered as genuine
- 7:41Speaker 3: as a physical one. Now, this also dovetails in the
- 7:45Speaker 3: most cases into like solomonic magic, because a lot of
- 7:48Speaker 3: people will use the Greater Key of Solomon as a
- 7:50Speaker 3: broad framing right structure for their folk magic. So the
- 7:56Speaker 3: enchantment you do before you summon or before you consecrate
- 7:58Speaker 3: the pentacles, and the stuff you do directly after, if
- 8:01Speaker 3: you bookend your folk magic with that, it boosts its power,
- 8:04Speaker 3: right because you're calling on several different forces to bring
- 8:07Speaker 3: it in. If you add folks, if you add planetary
- 8:08Speaker 3: hours to your folk magic even more right, it all
- 8:12Speaker 3: scales up all towards the purpose of once again your
- 8:15Speaker 3: shit working.
- 8:17Speaker 2: You. Uh No, I have like a few questions here
- 8:20Speaker 2: when it comes to folk magic. Would you also consider
- 8:23Speaker 2: that almost something that's like very uh, it's very much
- 8:26Speaker 2: in like the area that you're from.
- 8:28Speaker 3: Almost, Yeah, I mean it could be, so I would
- 8:30Speaker 3: argue that it once was more now than it is
- 8:33Speaker 3: because the area that we're from is the fucking Internet, right,
- 8:36Speaker 3: like like like yeah, if you find like an old
- 8:39Speaker 3: head in the game, they'll tell you that you should
- 8:42Speaker 3: go and learn the bioregion where you live or where
- 8:45Speaker 3: you're from, go learn what the herbs do and stuff,
- 8:46Speaker 3: and you should. That's great to do, right, But in reality,
- 8:52Speaker 3: and this is where I get a lot of people
- 8:54Speaker 3: kind of fucked up. Is like this more than just
- 8:57Speaker 3: the roots and herbs. Ideas can be can promises can
- 9:01Speaker 3: be conjured. For example, everyone knows if they get a
- 9:03Speaker 3: piece of your hair, some of your blood, some of
- 9:05Speaker 3: your skin, they can work you. But if you make
- 9:07Speaker 3: a promise, you gave them part of yourself. If you
- 9:10Speaker 3: send a nude, you gave them part of yourself.
- 9:13Speaker 2: Right.
- 9:13Speaker 3: If someone gets their hands on your natal chart, they
- 9:15Speaker 3: got they got you, they got the moment you were born.
- 9:17Speaker 3: They can conjure you. They can work you, to quote
- 9:19Speaker 3: an old teacher of mine, pick you up, put you down,
- 9:21Speaker 3: turn you all the way around, and they can. Right.
- 9:25Speaker 3: But the thing is, you're from the Internet. I remember
- 9:27Speaker 3: being a kid and thinking to myself, you know, oh,
- 9:29Speaker 3: well shit, you know, I can't get a hold of
- 9:31Speaker 3: someone's picture. But then MySpace happened, and I remember a
- 9:35Speaker 3: teacher might at the time. I told her about it,
- 9:37Speaker 3: and she went, they're putting their pictures out there, They're
- 9:39Speaker 3: putting their parents' names, their birthdays, everything I can get anybody.
- 9:45Speaker 3: Now you print out that shit, because again, it's one
- 9:48Speaker 3: of like even like even if you look at like
- 9:49Speaker 3: PGM sorcery, it's a lot of like so and so,
- 9:51Speaker 3: who's so and so bore? Right, So, let's say you
- 9:54Speaker 3: go on your LinkedIn or something. Let's say let's say
- 9:56Speaker 3: you want to get a job, right, because it all
- 9:57Speaker 3: has to work right. And see, when you get a job,
- 9:59Speaker 3: you find to hire manager of the company. You got
- 10:01Speaker 3: their picture on LinkedIn. Maybe you could find their Facebook
- 10:03Speaker 3: or whatever out of that. Maybe you can't, but if
- 10:06Speaker 3: you look deep enough, you can find shit about their family.
- 10:08Speaker 3: So you're like, all right, hiring manager Joe Smith, who
- 10:11Speaker 3: Martha Smith bore born on this day whatever, You're going
- 10:14Speaker 3: to hire me? And then if you want to scale
- 10:16Speaker 3: it up into solemonic, you get yourself the third pinnacle
- 10:18Speaker 3: of the sun. You print that motherfucker out in the
- 10:20Speaker 3: day of the day and hour of the sun. You
- 10:22Speaker 3: put the picture of the person on the thing. You
- 10:24Speaker 3: conjure it correctly. You know the name of the father son,
- 10:26Speaker 3: holy ghost. I make you Joe Smith. Whatever happens to
- 10:28Speaker 3: you is this thing, and then you light some candles
- 10:31Speaker 3: around it. You use like the first pinnacle of the sun,
- 10:34Speaker 3: or no, I'm sorry, the third pinnacle, the son, the
- 10:35Speaker 3: control plentacle with the stave things and each of those
- 10:38Speaker 3: angels and a cardinal point. You call all of them all,
- 10:41Speaker 3: you call all of them in a certain order, and
- 10:42Speaker 3: you're like, help me work this motherfucker, make me shine
- 10:45Speaker 3: bright in this guy's eyes, and then boom, you got
- 10:47Speaker 3: the job. Even if it's over zoom, even if it's
- 10:49Speaker 3: over a resume doesn't or even if it's over a
- 10:51Speaker 3: hiring thing doesn't matter. You got them. So from a distance,
- 10:54Speaker 3: especially because again, where are we from. We're from the Internet.
- 10:57Speaker 3: That's the world. Now you can work anybody.
- 11:01Speaker 2: Damn, that was impressive.
- 11:04Speaker 1: Can I say a couple Can I say a couple
- 11:06Speaker 1: of bars? Nick? I just want to say that was
- 11:08Speaker 1: a great point Alex about that we are from the Internet,
- 11:11Speaker 1: and the Internet is the carnal ground. So the Internet
- 11:13Speaker 1: is a great place to do magic on people. As
- 11:17Speaker 1: well as you should guard your birthday. I know nobody,
- 11:20Speaker 1: nobody likes that advice, but you really should guard your
- 11:24Speaker 1: birthday and your logna, particularly which is your birth time.
- 11:28Speaker 1: People underestimate how potent that is, but that's a very
- 11:30Speaker 1: potent idea tontra as well, that you can actually take
- 11:34Speaker 1: someone shock to someone's power through their logna.
- 11:37Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, and in conjure it's called stealing someone's stars.
- 11:40Speaker 3: It's the same thing. Yeah, I mean it's like it's
- 11:44Speaker 3: you could just do it right, like they're like or
- 11:46Speaker 3: stealing someone's luck, sealing someone's nature, right, their personal power.
- 11:51Speaker 3: I mean, it's it's it's a it's a it's a
- 11:52Speaker 3: dirty game. You know. If you go down to the
- 11:55Speaker 3: ground level, people get people get aggressive.
- 11:58Speaker 2: I'll make sure to have a funck BD if we
- 12:00Speaker 2: got to give her all my information.
- 12:04Speaker 3: I'm just saying it's but you can also protect it, right,
- 12:06Speaker 3: you can. You can. You can poison shit like that, right,
- 12:09Speaker 3: Like let's say you got a social media presence, you
- 12:11Speaker 3: got ops, right, because we all do. What you do
- 12:13Speaker 3: is you make a you make a fake candle spell
- 12:16Speaker 3: that looks like something but in reality at something else,
- 12:19Speaker 3: Like you make a look at prosperity spell, but you
- 12:21Speaker 3: put like the fourth Pinnacle of Saturn underneath it. You
- 12:24Speaker 3: call those spirits and you're like, any motherfucker prints this out,
- 12:27Speaker 3: tapes it to a candle, get them like poison their lives.
- 12:30Speaker 3: That's how you make like a honey trap, right, And
- 12:32Speaker 3: you know, I mean again, you know, like I always
- 12:35Speaker 3: tell my students, game is game, right, and I'm a player,
- 12:38Speaker 3: you know what I mean, Like it's you've got to
- 12:40Speaker 3: you got to understand that the world is a hairier
- 12:43Speaker 3: place than it was, say, ten years ago, as a
- 12:45Speaker 3: result of this in the first world anyway.
- 12:47Speaker 2: Oh yeah, all right, well, uh, thank you for the
- 12:52Speaker 2: thing with the folk magic. I appreciate you. I thought
- 12:55Speaker 2: it was well well said.
- 12:57Speaker 3: Thank you, thanks man.
- 12:58Speaker 2: Yeah, thanks. I guess like the solomonic magic, I mean
- 13:02Speaker 2: for the people who that's something I have not really
- 13:04Speaker 2: covered too much. I had somebody on for the Goetia
- 13:07Speaker 2: and it was like they were kind of like showing
- 13:08Speaker 2: like their new take on I guess. And you know,
- 13:11Speaker 2: for me it was interesting, it made sense, but I
- 13:13Speaker 2: mean it's I have to actually be practical with it
- 13:15Speaker 2: and use it to see what's going on. You know,
- 13:18Speaker 2: if you don't mind, could you like maybe get into
- 13:20Speaker 2: like a little bit of explaining like what solomonic magic
- 13:23Speaker 2: would be for the listeners?
- 13:25Speaker 3: Yeah, sure, I mean all right, so some people are
- 13:28Speaker 3: going to be a little bit more precious about it
- 13:30Speaker 3: in religious terms. A lot of solomonic magicians become or
- 13:33Speaker 3: are started as fairly religious people, and they believe that
- 13:36Speaker 3: it's like the holdover of the pre sood of malpiece
- 13:38Speaker 3: deck or whatever. For me, it's a method of spiritual
- 13:41Speaker 3: technology that either summons peaceably celestial or terrestrial spirits or
- 13:48Speaker 3: forcibly compels cathonic or infernal spirits to do what you
- 13:52Speaker 3: need them to do. You summon an angel, maybe they'll
- 13:55Speaker 3: do what you want, maybe they won't. They can say no,
- 13:57Speaker 3: or they can say yes and give you the thing
- 13:58Speaker 3: that they think you need. You sum in a planetary spirit,
- 14:01Speaker 3: it's going to be a little more order of the petition.
- 14:04Speaker 3: You sum in an elemental same thing you some in
- 14:07Speaker 3: a demon. You need to kind of beat on it
- 14:09Speaker 3: a little bit and then bind it. They respect force,
- 14:13Speaker 3: they respect pain. I'm a pretty traditionalist when it comes
- 14:16Speaker 3: to solomonic magic. I do it the way it's written
- 14:18Speaker 3: in the book. With certain exceptions. I will say, you
- 14:21Speaker 3: can do certain energy cultivations and things to supersede the
- 14:25Speaker 3: fasting to open your spiritual senses in a different way.
- 14:30Speaker 3: But if you're going to do it the full way,
- 14:31Speaker 3: do the fast like it says, you get the kit
- 14:33Speaker 3: as best you can. Not everybody has the means to
- 14:36Speaker 3: get the whole kit. That is what it is that
- 14:39Speaker 3: we have plenty of textual example. Stephen Skinner, for example,
- 14:42Speaker 3: produces a shit ton of examples of the fact that
- 14:45Speaker 3: there are a lot of people who didn't throughout history.
- 14:47Speaker 3: There was an example of the excellent Book of Visions
- 14:49Speaker 3: by Alexander Cummins that gives an example of two magicians
- 14:54Speaker 3: asking spirits, what is the least that I need and
- 14:57Speaker 3: what is the most that I could have to get
- 14:58Speaker 3: this done? So you keep that in mind too. You
- 15:01Speaker 3: don't need to be perfect. You just need to be smart.
- 15:03Speaker 3: The protective philactories that you make, the protect the family
- 15:06Speaker 3: that you ought to make those as best you can
- 15:07Speaker 3: because it can be dangerous. But in general, you do
- 15:11Speaker 3: the thing you say the words for. You know, if
- 15:13Speaker 3: it's the first time summoning that specific spirit, you might
- 15:16Speaker 3: be conjuring for three to four hours for it to
- 15:18Speaker 3: show up. In some cases, you've got to really put
- 15:20Speaker 3: your you know, put you put your ass into it,
- 15:22Speaker 3: you know what I mean, because especially because I mean
- 15:24Speaker 3: you want to see it ideally, you want to you
- 15:26Speaker 3: want to see it Now this is where people get
- 15:28Speaker 3: kind of fucked up. If you read your grip up,
- 15:30Speaker 3: you'll understand that the visionary capacity of a human being is,
- 15:34Speaker 3: in the Renaissance worldview, as real as your physical site. Okay, now,
- 15:39Speaker 3: does that mean you can't physically see these spirits? Sometimes
- 15:42Speaker 3: you can. Sometimes they're full HD right in front of you.
- 15:44Speaker 3: Sometimes they're not. The point is less to see them
- 15:47Speaker 3: and more to get them to do ship for you.
- 15:50Speaker 3: All right, So it's it's it's the old get laid,
- 15:52Speaker 3: get paid, get even, right, like that's the name of
- 15:55Speaker 3: the game. Sometimes because this is what you're here for,
- 15:57Speaker 3: You're not necessarily and this this is this, This pisses
- 15:59Speaker 3: a lot of demon all that are types off, but like,
- 16:04Speaker 3: you're not here for spiritual evolution talking to these things. There.
- 16:08Speaker 3: There's plenty of spirits that can get you there, plenty
- 16:11Speaker 3: of spirits and plenty of just even just being adjacent
- 16:13Speaker 3: to this for long enough time, I will give you
- 16:15Speaker 3: spiritual experiences that are very valid. In my opinion, people
- 16:18Speaker 3: disagree with me. Demons aren't for that. They're not your friends.
- 16:22Speaker 3: Even the ones that are listed is more peaceable, less harmful,
- 16:25Speaker 3: and they are indeed more peaceable and less harmful. They're not.
- 16:28Speaker 1: They're not.
- 16:28Speaker 3: They're not there to like shepherd you into grace and glory.
- 16:31Speaker 3: They're not there to shepherd you in some true dark
- 16:34Speaker 3: gnosis that some people will fuck with. They're they're gonna
- 16:38Speaker 3: fuck with you. Yeah. Yeah, read your Agrippa Hamburglar one,
- 16:43Speaker 3: two three. You know you'll be one of the five
- 16:44Speaker 3: people who ever fucking did Everyone loves buy the I
- 16:49Speaker 3: got the new Purdue edition based edition by the way.
- 16:51Speaker 3: Oh my god, it's great. You read it. Nah, No,
- 16:54Speaker 3: I'm gonna get to it. I'm gonna get to it.
- 16:56Speaker 2: But you know, how old is the Purdue edition?
- 16:59Speaker 3: Oh, it's it's the more it's the more recent when
- 17:01Speaker 3: Eric Produce spent like a billioneres making and it's good.
- 17:04Speaker 3: I'm wondering maybe it's like maybe five or six years old.
- 17:07Speaker 2: I believe. I mean, the one that I have is even.
- 17:10Speaker 3: The original Tyson addition that people loved when I was
- 17:13Speaker 3: growing up. You know, read the Ship. You don't need
- 17:15Speaker 3: to read it all at once, obviously, but like, you know,
- 17:18Speaker 3: make it a point, you know, spend twenty minutes a
- 17:19Speaker 3: day reading.
- 17:20Speaker 2: The Bastrooms so much in that book it is you.
- 17:23Speaker 3: Will, but it will teach you a lot about the
- 17:25Speaker 3: metaphysics involved in the Western Grimwore tradition specifically. And he
- 17:29Speaker 3: talks about shit that like little gems, right, Like he
- 17:31Speaker 3: talks about two headed possession, for example in his chapter
- 17:33Speaker 3: on frenzy and no one wants and it's one of
- 17:36Speaker 3: those things that you bring that up and people are like,
- 17:37Speaker 3: what he does that. I'm like, you didn't read that shit,
- 17:40Speaker 3: you know what I mean? But no, So like that's
- 17:43Speaker 3: the thing. Goaeisha is about getting shit done, and it's
- 17:46Speaker 3: all really about enhancing you. Right, So if you look
- 17:48Speaker 3: at like broader Grimwore traditions, like in the Lmegatin which
- 17:52Speaker 3: includes the Gaisia, you also have something. You also have
- 17:55Speaker 3: things like the Almadel which have also done you know,
- 17:58Speaker 3: some angels of various seasons they give you cool shit,
- 18:00Speaker 3: They enhance your life. But if you do it spring
- 18:02Speaker 3: all the way through winter, they kind of write the
- 18:05Speaker 3: ship of your life. Like those can give you spiritual
- 18:08Speaker 3: guidance as well as physical boons. Right, If that's what
- 18:12Speaker 3: you want, then absolutely do that when it's easier in
- 18:15Speaker 3: so many ways. But if you want again to get
- 18:17Speaker 3: shit done and keeping in mind and I've said this
- 18:20Speaker 3: on a couple of podcasts, a couple of interviews. People
- 18:23Speaker 3: will often ask me, you know, why would you beat
- 18:26Speaker 3: the shit out of these demons? Why would you bind them?
- 18:28Speaker 3: Not only five people? I counted three.
- 18:30Speaker 2: Well, it's got a good point, the three of us
- 18:32Speaker 2: here right.
- 18:33Speaker 3: Now, but truly one and the other two I don't know.
- 18:35Speaker 2: Where that is.
- 18:37Speaker 1: I really love a Grippa. I've said this many times.
- 18:40Speaker 1: I've said this many times, but I just want to
- 18:42Speaker 1: interrupt you really quickly. I'm sorry, Nick, because you're saying
- 18:45Speaker 1: something really interesting, and I actually agree. I think that
- 18:48Speaker 1: you and I meet a lot in the middle on this.
- 18:51Speaker 1: Actually is that like the goet expirits are not worshiped,
- 18:55Speaker 1: like they're not meant to be worshiped. I'm one hundred
- 18:57Speaker 1: percent with you, but I think a lot of leftime
- 18:59Speaker 1: health people leave that believe that they are.
- 19:01Speaker 3: So dalture Man, sure, kind of right, absolutely, But I
- 19:07Speaker 3: just wanted to ask you about this thing that David
- 19:09Speaker 3: Rankin talks about.
- 19:10Speaker 1: David Rankin coming on Yeah, Nick's show and my show
- 19:14Speaker 1: Pretty single, So he talks about blinds, how Grippa put
- 19:19Speaker 1: in blinds, how there are blinds and basically the entire
- 19:22Speaker 1: gramoric tradition all the way up to contemporary Western text especially,
- 19:27Speaker 1: But this is also a thing in Tontra. We don't
- 19:29Speaker 1: call them blinds, but you know, scandalons, scambos, klipa's, whatever
- 19:33Speaker 1: you want to call them, sort of like traps that
- 19:36Speaker 1: a magician puts in, whether it's a pronunciation issue in
- 19:39Speaker 1: correct Hebrew, maybe incorrect correspondence. And Carle even said he
- 19:45Speaker 1: did this himself, he would in seven seven seven, So
- 19:48Speaker 1: you know, it's I want to know how you deal
- 19:53Speaker 1: with those things, how you recognize them as much as
- 19:55Speaker 1: you want to tell, and then how to rectify them.
- 19:58Speaker 3: So I actually think they are far viewer of them
- 20:01Speaker 3: then people realize. I think that oftentimes people will say
- 20:05Speaker 3: that as an excuse not to do the work. I
- 20:08Speaker 3: think that people will say, like, oh, they didn't actually
- 20:10Speaker 3: mean bat's blood for this ink. Yeah, they did go
- 20:13Speaker 3: kill a bat. It's not hard, you know, or like.
- 20:16Speaker 1: I disagree with you there, because I know in Tantra
- 20:19Speaker 1: there are inner, outer secret layers. So immediately because of
- 20:23Speaker 1: Sambodia Gaia twilight language, we would know that that's incorrect
- 20:29Speaker 1: sort of presentation, and there is a way to read
- 20:31Speaker 1: Western wisdom text with a kind of twilight language, which
- 20:35Speaker 1: is not an uncommon thing. I mean, Gerjeff talks about it,
- 20:38Speaker 1: Ospensky talks about this.
- 20:40Speaker 3: Sure, Sure, So I would argue that a lot of
- 20:43Speaker 3: the grim Wore tradition is separate from the Wisdom tradition.
- 20:47Speaker 3: I would argue that a lot of these things are
- 20:49Speaker 3: manuals that are meant to be done for practical purposes,
- 20:53Speaker 3: for those results. For example, using the bat's blood thing,
- 20:56Speaker 3: I killed a bat, used part of its blood to
- 20:58Speaker 3: make an ink. The ink is more magically potent as
- 20:59Speaker 3: a result. Well, this is actually where we tie it,
- 21:01Speaker 3: in my opinion, to the folk magic behind it, where
- 21:04Speaker 3: you awaken those spirits. I think that there are some
- 21:07Speaker 3: things in the Western tradition that do have blinds. But
- 21:11Speaker 3: I think that a lot of people will make excuses
- 21:13Speaker 3: for their lack of extraordinary results and extraordinary effort and
- 21:18Speaker 3: hide behind that sort of knowledge or that sort of
- 21:21Speaker 3: claim rather that there are these blinds for these things,
- 21:24Speaker 3: because frankly, I think people are lazy. I think people
- 21:26Speaker 3: don't put the work in, and they don't even halfway
- 21:29Speaker 3: believe that magic is really magic. That's a big thing
- 21:32Speaker 3: that in my career, I've been trying to hammer fist
- 21:36Speaker 3: as hard as possible. Magic is actually magic. If you
- 21:41Speaker 3: make excuses that your magic isn't actually magic, that's why
- 21:44Speaker 3: your results are subpar. You should be able to do
- 21:47Speaker 3: these things with enough effort. Is it easy? No, absolutely not,
- 21:50Speaker 3: But it's certainly perhaps easier to assume that a thing
- 21:54Speaker 3: is a blind. Again, this is a thing that I
- 21:56Speaker 3: disagree with a lot of people on. I think there
- 21:58Speaker 3: are some, but not as many as people think.
- 22:05Speaker 2: I could see that. My issue with a lot of
- 22:08Speaker 2: people's work is that I don't think it will be
- 22:11Speaker 2: understood unless people cross the abyss. So that's the whole
- 22:14Speaker 2: problem for people that have you know, if somebody is
- 22:16Speaker 2: gross the abyss and then they put out work, I
- 22:18Speaker 2: don't think you'll understand it unless you've had that experience,
- 22:20Speaker 2: So that I could see people considering maybe a blind.
- 22:24Speaker 2: But I do think especially Crowley's work, I don't think
- 22:26Speaker 2: you'll understand a little it unless you have that experience.
- 22:29Speaker 2: That's just my opinion. So I don't know if that's
- 22:31Speaker 2: a blind, but it's still like you're not gonna understand
- 22:34Speaker 2: the work because you're not having their experience and.
- 22:37Speaker 3: There's certainly something to that like. So the reason why
- 22:39Speaker 3: I use, for example, the almadel is a counterpoint example.
- 22:42Speaker 3: I love that you brought that up to right. So
- 22:44Speaker 3: you do the almadeal. It's very simple to do. It's
- 22:47Speaker 3: very easy. It doesn't require even a fraction of the effort.
- 22:50Speaker 3: And you'll be visited by these angels, whether you see
- 22:53Speaker 3: them directly or you're visited in dreams, or you're visiting
- 22:55Speaker 3: just in life circumstances across the calendar year from spring
- 22:59Speaker 3: all the way to the end of winter, and they
- 23:03Speaker 3: will guide your life. They will build you a better life,
- 23:06Speaker 3: and you will be brought spiritual discernment, greater wisdom, greater spirit,
- 23:10Speaker 3: sight and senses. You know, some people I know have
- 23:14Speaker 3: been brought into contact with patron spirits. You know, I
- 23:18Speaker 3: hesitate to attach it to the concert of the Holy
- 23:20Speaker 3: Guardian Angel, but it's something similar enough I suppose that
- 23:25Speaker 3: some people have had. I mean, it brings you where
- 23:27Speaker 3: you need to be, in my opinion, especially things like Goetia.
- 23:32Speaker 3: That is a that is an instruction manual to get
- 23:35Speaker 3: shit done in life. And that's why it can work separate,
- 23:40Speaker 3: it works suboptimally separated from the greater key of Solomon.
- 23:44Speaker 3: But the fact that it works by itself, and there
- 23:46Speaker 3: are people who have built entire lives, great lives, like abundant, crazy,
- 23:52Speaker 3: abundant lives based off of this shows me that the technology,
- 23:56Speaker 3: which is my primary focus in all of this, the
- 23:58Speaker 3: spiritual technology, works, and it works well, and it delivers
- 24:02Speaker 3: ninety five percent of what it promises. I have not made.
- 24:05Speaker 3: I have not personally been able to use that magic
- 24:08Speaker 3: to make a thing levitate, although I have tried. I
- 24:10Speaker 3: have not been able to personally use that magic to
- 24:12Speaker 3: make something teleport, although I have tried, but I have
- 24:15Speaker 3: achieved remarkable don't even bother talking about it because it's
- 24:20Speaker 3: going to believe you unless they wear their level shit
- 24:22Speaker 3: with that specific stuff as well.
- 24:25Speaker 2: Do you think I don't know what your other stuff
- 24:27Speaker 2: is next? And I'm not asking you to explain it,
- 24:30Speaker 2: this next level stuff, but you think you know you
- 24:32Speaker 2: mentioned like levitate or move something. Do you think if
- 24:35Speaker 2: you actually if that actually happened, do you think, like
- 24:39Speaker 2: when it really happens, I might actually freaky the fuck
- 24:41Speaker 2: out because like, like that's real, real, That's not a
- 24:45Speaker 2: faith anymore now, it's a knowing. No.
- 24:47Speaker 3: So this is exactly why I bring up that, Like
- 24:49Speaker 3: my old man proved it to me, there is magic
- 24:52Speaker 3: that can do those things.
- 24:53Speaker 2: Oh no, I believe it. I know, I totally believe.
- 24:55Speaker 3: The thing is, it's one of those things like when
- 24:56Speaker 3: you see it, you only want more of it. Like
- 24:59Speaker 3: I say that, I I can't make a demon, for example,
- 25:02Speaker 3: teleport something, but I have seen, for example, people by
- 25:05Speaker 3: locate and then leave an item behind that was not
- 25:09Speaker 3: previously there. So there are definitely things that can do.
- 25:13Speaker 3: I'm just saying that is not what I've pushed this
- 25:15Speaker 3: system to be able to do. But the point is,
- 25:18Speaker 3: even if you look at like what these things do, Yeah,
- 25:20Speaker 3: they can make you smarter, and they can make you
- 25:21Speaker 3: learn things faster, and they can give you allegedly true
- 25:25Speaker 3: answers to divinity. That is the thing I actually do
- 25:27Speaker 3: doubt because every spirit has an agenda. You know, They're
- 25:32Speaker 3: all going to have their reasons for telling you things.
- 25:35Speaker 3: And these things are clever. So if you ask them
- 25:36Speaker 3: like how is the world created? Or like you know
- 25:40Speaker 3: which God is the real one or which one is whatever,
- 25:42Speaker 3: You're going to get something that it is going to
- 25:45Speaker 3: try to talk you into things. That's why I was
- 25:47Speaker 3: very fortunate that I got good advice early on about
- 25:51Speaker 3: I'm in a demon. You should give it a one
- 25:52Speaker 3: and done job, like you should give it one thing
- 25:56Speaker 3: to do that has a defined end, and then just
- 26:00Speaker 3: on its way. Some of it again if you need it.
- 26:01Speaker 3: You don't want to have it oversee your money or
- 26:04Speaker 3: your love life or your career in a long term way,
- 26:07Speaker 3: because again, those things don't like you. They will try
- 26:10Speaker 3: to get over on you.
- 26:12Speaker 2: You can always deal with it as like a servitor, where
- 26:13Speaker 2: it's very specific, this is your job and that's it.
- 26:16Speaker 3: No exactly, and again servitor tech is wonderful. The reason
- 26:20Speaker 3: why people would go to say a demon is because, frankly,
- 26:22Speaker 3: because they're so close to the terrestrial world in terms
- 26:25Speaker 3: of the orders of manifestation, they can get things done
- 26:28Speaker 3: really fast. You know. I give an example a lot
- 26:31Speaker 3: of like I had a friend who had pancreatic cancer
- 26:33Speaker 3: years ago, and he was going to die, straight up
- 26:37Speaker 3: going to die, and I was like, Nope, I'm not
- 26:38Speaker 3: going to let that happen. You smon a specific demon.
- 26:40Speaker 3: You beat on it for hours and you're like, he
- 26:43Speaker 3: will not die, and he goes in for imaging. It's
- 26:46Speaker 3: gone absolutely gone. That's why you do it. That's why
- 26:51Speaker 3: you call them because they can be produced. They can
- 26:53Speaker 3: be forced to give you miracles that you may need.
- 26:55Speaker 3: That in my case, every other option I exhausted failed.
- 26:59Speaker 3: I try to do every other healing technique. I knew
- 27:01Speaker 3: every other magic technique. I knew none of it worked,
- 27:03Speaker 3: none of it even touched it at the time. I'm
- 27:05Speaker 3: better now than I was those years ago, so perhaps
- 27:08Speaker 3: I could. I I don't know. I don't want to
- 27:11Speaker 3: have to risk that though. I don't want any of
- 27:12Speaker 3: my friends getting cancer again. But like I couldn't do it,
- 27:17Speaker 3: that did it, So you know, sometimes you do what
- 27:20Speaker 3: you need to.
- 27:21Speaker 2: Do until I kind of get off of where we are.
- 27:26Speaker 2: I mean, it just it was pretty impressive and intense. Shit,
- 27:30Speaker 2: there was other stuff I did want to ask to
- 27:34Speaker 2: get into too. Multiple questions. One real quick. I'm assuming
- 27:39Speaker 2: you probably saw it. I don't want to. This isn't
- 27:41Speaker 2: like a major question. There's more important things. But what's
- 27:44Speaker 2: your opinion on that show, that movie at Dark Soul?
- 27:46Speaker 2: I'm assuming you're probacing that right.
- 27:47Speaker 3: Oh, okay, it was trash.
- 27:51Speaker 2: I hated it.
- 27:52Speaker 3: It was goofy, And then you know, I don't know.
- 27:56Speaker 3: There's some occult cinema I love, like early hammer horror stuff,
- 27:59Speaker 3: big fan. You know, a lot of anime based a
- 28:02Speaker 3: cult cinema, Big fan. But like, No, A Dark Song
- 28:06Speaker 3: was was not was not my favorite thing. It wasn't
- 28:08Speaker 3: correct to the abermellin operation and it was it was
- 28:12Speaker 3: just stylized and goofy and realistically. The one thing that
- 28:14Speaker 3: was accurate was the skeevie like magician who was trying
- 28:19Speaker 3: to utilize the ritual that she was having him do
- 28:22Speaker 3: with her for his own Like that's like I've met
- 28:25Speaker 3: that dude in a thousand different faces, right, Like, like
- 28:28Speaker 3: that dude is real. He's out there listening right now.
- 28:31Speaker 2: The guy's checking off like that was even part of
- 28:34Speaker 2: the ritual? Was it?
- 28:36Speaker 3: But you know what, he was in there doing it.
- 28:38Speaker 3: But that's the thing man like that. I was never
- 28:41Speaker 3: a particular fan of that film.
- 28:44Speaker 1: And then I just want to say, just in defense
- 28:46Speaker 1: of that film, I just want to say that I
- 28:48Speaker 1: agree with the critique. However, a lot of modern magicians,
- 28:53Speaker 1: like there's like all these young guys that run like
- 28:55Speaker 1: these magical training centers all over America. I guess that's
- 28:59Speaker 1: the thing I know a few of them on Twitter,
- 29:02Speaker 1: and I'm mutuals with some of them. Anyways, they do
- 29:05Speaker 1: this like very similar to what is depicted. Like they're
- 29:08Speaker 1: kind of training regime and their training course is much
- 29:11Speaker 1: more similar to what is picted. I'm not saying it's
- 29:14Speaker 1: textually accurate. I'm just saying it looks like something that
- 29:17Speaker 1: is done in a contemporary setting.
- 29:19Speaker 3: Now, I mean maybe, and you know, I'm sure that's
- 29:23Speaker 3: out there, Mike, I would be curious to see how
- 29:26Speaker 3: well it worked, because again.
- 29:28Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 29:29Speaker 1: I cannot speak to efficacy in anything. I'm not condoning
- 29:34Speaker 1: or telling people to buy those courses. I am just
- 29:36Speaker 1: saying that I know people who do it like that.
- 29:39Speaker 3: No, sure, and I'm certain, I mean there are people
- 29:41Speaker 3: out there who do all manner of things, good, bad,
- 29:43Speaker 3: and indifferent. I don't know. I feel as though to
- 29:50Speaker 3: how to put this U being a complete dickhead, I
- 29:53Speaker 3: feel as though one needs to really vet their in
- 29:57Speaker 3: person teachers, especially I said, as someone who makes a
- 30:01Speaker 3: giant portion of his living teaching magic. Right, It's all
- 30:05Speaker 3: about what does it give you versus what do you
- 30:08Speaker 3: have to give of yourself in return? You know, because
- 30:12Speaker 3: you have to think about, like what you want out
- 30:13Speaker 3: of this, if your goal, and frankly, if your life,
- 30:17Speaker 3: if your life is not good, like your life is shit,
- 30:19Speaker 3: it's not where you want it to be. You should
- 30:22Speaker 3: be working on operative sorcery to get it there before
- 30:24Speaker 3: you work on anything in some deep mystical I'm going
- 30:28Speaker 3: to go to you know, mystic vision camp for three
- 30:31Speaker 3: months in the Poconos or whatever the fuck, Like, you know,
- 30:34Speaker 3: you gotta you got, you got to make your choices
- 30:38Speaker 3: in the right order, I would say, because if you
- 30:40Speaker 3: have a good life and you have operative sorcery that works,
- 30:43Speaker 3: your discernments can be better because your scarcity is going
- 30:45Speaker 3: to be less. Right, You're going to be like, no,
- 30:48Speaker 3: I can do this shit right Like I I will say,
- 30:51Speaker 3: I'm happy to have even at this moment, excellent teachers,
- 30:54Speaker 3: excellent mentors right now to teach me all sorts of
- 30:57Speaker 3: cool shit. But when I vetted them, they were betting
- 31:00Speaker 3: me right back. Of course, when I vetted them, it
- 31:02Speaker 3: didn't come from a position of I need someone to
- 31:04Speaker 3: show me the real magic. I have the real magic.
- 31:06Speaker 3: I have plenty of fucking magic. I have a lifetime
- 31:09Speaker 3: of magic. No, yes, but literally, when you when you
- 31:13Speaker 3: get to the point where you are magical more than
- 31:16Speaker 3: just I do magic. When you're able to do cool shit,
- 31:21Speaker 3: you know you're you're a lot they're a lot less
- 31:24Speaker 3: prone to jump on someone else's dick about. You know,
- 31:28Speaker 3: I need to I need I need to have this this, this,
- 31:31Speaker 3: this guru figure, this like master figure. You know, you're
- 31:34Speaker 3: a lot less likely to believe with someone some secret
- 31:37Speaker 3: chief or whatever just because they say they are, because
- 31:39Speaker 3: maybe you've trained enough that you can see someone's org
- 31:42Speaker 3: field and you're like, actually, you're not special, or most importantly,
- 31:46Speaker 3: you're not any better than me. And if they're not,
- 31:50Speaker 3: then you shouldn't be fucking learning from them. If they're
- 31:52Speaker 3: not actively leagues better than you, able to do things
- 31:55Speaker 3: you can't do, they're not worth your time.
- 32:03Speaker 2: Another question I had, I don't know if maybe you've
- 32:06Speaker 2: ever seen this. You're old enough, I think probably have
- 32:10Speaker 2: you ever seen Poke Runyon's old video with him dealing
- 32:12Speaker 2: with this?
- 32:13Speaker 3: Yeah? Oh yeah, noly did I see them? I watched
- 32:15Speaker 3: them with my fucking dad. We watched them together, because
- 32:19Speaker 3: you remember, I'm thirty seven, I'm not exactly super young,
- 32:22Speaker 3: you know, but with his with his running voice like
- 32:27Speaker 3: I saw no, no, no, no, nah. You know what
- 32:31Speaker 3: I love about Poke Running? That motherfucker did not pretend
- 32:33Speaker 3: like he wasn't about the bitches either. When you read
- 32:35Speaker 3: his book, he's like I had a vision of amazing
- 32:37Speaker 3: new viral women. I'm like, yeah you did. Bro, Like,
- 32:41Speaker 3: yeah you did. Boy like didn't give a fuck, but like, no, truly, truly,
- 32:48Speaker 3: Poke Running is a treasure just because of how he
- 32:51Speaker 3: didn't give a fuck like he was he was doing
- 32:53Speaker 3: what he was doing. I don't necessarily think that his
- 32:57Speaker 3: his opinions on certain things about how Gaatia works were
- 33:00Speaker 3: completely correct, but people have had great success with his system,
- 33:04Speaker 3: so I can't I can't knock its efficacy. I just
- 33:07Speaker 3: think that he fell into the category of at least
- 33:09Speaker 3: standing outwardly a less of a less of a general
- 33:13Speaker 3: belief in the reality of spirits. Then I would have preferred.
- 33:18Speaker 2: Well, one thing I did this when I came across
- 33:22Speaker 2: that video. I mean, well, I kind of had an
- 33:24Speaker 2: idea because when I printed out the book, uh, and
- 33:28Speaker 2: there was obviously all the stuff that came with the
- 33:30Speaker 2: Gaysia besides that. But the one thing I did appreciate
- 33:34Speaker 2: is that he did focus on like you know, there
- 33:36Speaker 2: was other books in this thing besides the Gaysia that
- 33:40Speaker 2: probably should be read before you deal with that. And
- 33:43Speaker 2: I don't think too many people will. I keep it
- 33:46Speaker 2: from my experience when I was in the magical community.
- 33:49Speaker 2: I don't think too many people actually knew that at all.
- 33:52Speaker 3: No, they don't. I mean, if you look at the
- 33:53Speaker 3: third Geo go Aisia, I don't know fucking hardly anybody
- 33:56Speaker 3: who ever worked that one. I don't even know most
- 33:57Speaker 3: people who worked the Amadal.
- 34:00Speaker 2: When you said that, I was like, oh.
- 34:02Speaker 3: The only reason I worked it is because later on
- 34:05Speaker 3: I saw people talking about it, because, like I did,
- 34:07Speaker 3: I started with the Greater Keen the Lesser key, I
- 34:09Speaker 3: sort of hybrid that my my dad put together, you know,
- 34:12Speaker 3: in his own way, and then adding it to folk magic,
- 34:14Speaker 3: and then you know, learning pardon and having his tech
- 34:16Speaker 3: added to the system and everything. And then later on
- 34:19Speaker 3: in my life. But I say later on, probably when
- 34:21Speaker 3: I was like twenty three, maybe I came across a
- 34:25Speaker 3: blog talking about it online and I was like, oh,
- 34:27Speaker 3: I can do that, like and I did it, you know,
- 34:30Speaker 3: I mean, it happened. It was funny because it happened
- 34:31Speaker 3: to be the end of winter when I found it,
- 34:34Speaker 3: and I was like, oh shit, I can do this,
- 34:35Speaker 3: like in a month, I can actually just do this,
- 34:37Speaker 3: like now, it's the perfect time. And so I started
- 34:40Speaker 3: it and you know when when when aries began and uh,
- 34:43Speaker 3: you know, I did it for that year. Yeah. And
- 34:46Speaker 3: it's funny is I was. I was out of college
- 34:47Speaker 3: for like maybe a year and a half at that point,
- 34:51Speaker 3: and I had nothing to do. I had like a
- 34:53Speaker 3: very very mediocre job, you know, I had nothing doing
- 34:57Speaker 3: for that whole year really, and I was like, yeah,
- 34:59Speaker 3: fuck it, I'll do and that's why I can add
- 35:00Speaker 3: this into my ship. And I did it, and everyone
- 35:03Speaker 3: I know. I actually have a local student that I
- 35:07Speaker 3: walked through the Almadel. We did it together recently and
- 35:10Speaker 3: it was cool because even doing it later in my life,
- 35:12Speaker 3: like recently within the last two years, I found that
- 35:16Speaker 3: it was even cooler, even more generatively uplifting. Yes, Pascal
- 35:22Speaker 3: Beverly Randolph was goaded as shit, but like absolute legend,
- 35:26Speaker 3: but yeah, I know so. But I found that doing
- 35:28Speaker 3: the Almadel, even multiple times in your life produces even
- 35:31Speaker 3: more in illuminating results in personal life. It also makes
- 35:37Speaker 3: your energy work practice stronger, which is the thing that
- 35:40Speaker 3: I don't think a lot of people talk about.
- 35:43Speaker 2: Listen, yeah, I have heard that. Actually nice? Uh, real quick,
- 35:50Speaker 2: I would like to get back to that actually if
- 35:51Speaker 2: you don't mind, but real quick, would you? Yeah? I
- 35:54Speaker 2: love that you said the almadel I have a you know,
- 35:57Speaker 2: I've messed with that, but didn't go into like the Goetia.
- 35:59Speaker 2: I guess it was just more of like kind of
- 36:01Speaker 2: dealing with angels and stuff like that. You use the
- 36:03Speaker 2: Olympic spirits. I don't know if sometimes too. What could
- 36:08Speaker 2: you describe like with the other books, you know, and
- 36:09Speaker 2: the stuff with the angels, like what's the that's a
- 36:12Speaker 2: collection of things. Can you maybe give a little bit
- 36:14Speaker 2: more of an explanation for people.
- 36:16Speaker 3: You mean, like the other books in the La Megatine?
- 36:18Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, can you explain that to the Pauline
- 36:20Speaker 4: art which as you make a table of practice and
- 36:22Speaker 4: you work with various planetary spirits based off of astrological timing,
- 36:28Speaker 4: you need the third yeago Asia, which is admittedly the
- 36:31Speaker 4: least best described in terms of method.
- 36:35Speaker 3: I'm not going to lie to you. I, when in doubt,
- 36:37Speaker 3: take the method from the Greater Key the like general
- 36:40Speaker 3: summoning to spirits, and you can kind of slot whatever
- 36:43Speaker 3: spirit from the third yeago Asia in there that you
- 36:45Speaker 3: need and as and as long as you use the
- 36:48Speaker 3: same methodology, you're fine. These spirits come just fine. That's it.
- 36:53Speaker 3: It's it's kind of just just like the working man's
- 36:56Speaker 3: hack for this, because, like I said, the third Yeagoisia
- 36:58Speaker 3: and specific it's the least all described and you're kind
- 37:01Speaker 3: of looking at all these spirits, it gives you when
- 37:02Speaker 3: you're not told much of what they do exactly, you're
- 37:06Speaker 3: not told a whole lot of what they're for compared
- 37:08Speaker 3: to the other spirits in there. And most people start
- 37:11Speaker 3: with the Gaisia.
- 37:13Speaker 2: You know.
- 37:13Speaker 3: John King is a live journal blogger dude, also a
- 37:16Speaker 3: solomonk magician, also a jeweler who who talks about how
- 37:22Speaker 3: he believes that you should start with the Almadele and
- 37:24Speaker 3: go all the way up and the Gayshia should be
- 37:25Speaker 3: your last thing. So you know, it's it's it's it's
- 37:32Speaker 3: not it's not unheard of completely, but like I said,
- 37:34Speaker 3: my experience with the Pauline Art and the third Jiguaisia
- 37:37Speaker 3: are fairly limited. Like I've worked with them just to
- 37:40Speaker 3: say I did, but I haven't gotten and honestly, in
- 37:43Speaker 3: my opinion, the Pauline Art creates an unnecessarily byzantine method
- 37:48Speaker 3: of planetary magic that you can use the Heptameron to
- 37:52Speaker 3: have better results with, and people have. I will say, though,
- 37:55Speaker 3: I think, and I haven't done this, but it seems
- 37:57Speaker 3: to me like if you are a Pickatrix magician and
- 38:00Speaker 3: you want to do the really deep astrological stuff with petitions,
- 38:04Speaker 3: the Pauline Arts table of practice, it's working table, would
- 38:08Speaker 3: facilitate that. But that's like a cross system merger that
- 38:11Speaker 3: people would need to need to experiment with. But it
- 38:13Speaker 3: seems to me like you could because it's built into
- 38:16Speaker 3: you know, Western astrology pretty effectively.
- 38:21Speaker 2: I know, uh, there's a lot of angel work that
- 38:23Speaker 2: you could end up doing prior to the Gatia correct.
- 38:27Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, absolutely, I mean, you know, I mean, if
- 38:30Speaker 3: you're if you're a if you're an Abramelin guy, then
- 38:33Speaker 3: you know you got to get the big angel before
- 38:34Speaker 3: you you fuck with them. If you you know, if
- 38:36Speaker 3: you do the trithemis drawing spirits and the crystals, things
- 38:40Speaker 3: you're gonna be working with, you know, all sorts of
- 38:42Speaker 3: planetary angels and whatnot. I will say, having done that
- 38:46Speaker 3: as well. Angels will always try to talk you out
- 38:51Speaker 3: of anything that isn't angelic magic. We even see this
- 38:55Speaker 3: historically speaking in the excellent Book of Visions, where the
- 38:57Speaker 3: two magicians talk about how angels show up and the like,
- 39:00Speaker 3: we can give you everything that these things are giving you,
- 39:04Speaker 3: don't you know, don't risk your soul, don't do whatever,
- 39:06Speaker 3: in like a very Christian context. Anecdotally, I have had
- 39:10Speaker 3: an angel say like when I was much younger, when
- 39:12Speaker 3: I was perhaps seventeen, you know you you you oughtn't
- 39:16Speaker 3: to do this. I can give you everything that these
- 39:18Speaker 3: things can give you. And I'm like, you can, but
- 39:19Speaker 3: will you like cause again you know, full disclosure, I was.
- 39:23Speaker 3: I was getting hose, you know, I was out there
- 39:25Speaker 3: living life, and I was like, will you give me
- 39:27Speaker 3: these things? Will you give me my vices?
- 39:30Speaker 2: And it was like, no, give me my vices?
- 39:32Speaker 3: Like honest, that's what I is, That's what it was.
- 39:34Speaker 3: I'm I know who the fuck I am? Yeah?
- 39:36Speaker 2: No, no, no, that's great things.
- 39:38Speaker 3: But I said, will you give this to me? And
- 39:39Speaker 3: it said no, but I'll give you better, like I'll
- 39:41Speaker 3: give you a wife. And I was like, I don't
- 39:43Speaker 3: want a wife. I want hose. Like I didn't say
- 39:46Speaker 3: hose at the time. I said been. The point is
- 39:48Speaker 3: like I want, I want lovers. I want I want
- 39:51Speaker 3: to hare them and I don't want you know, ah,
- 39:54Speaker 3: the white picket fence. At that point in time, I
- 39:56Speaker 3: was fucking seventeen years old, you know, I was, I was,
- 40:00Speaker 3: I was, I was trying to live my life, Biden
- 40:02Speaker 3: the live wire of magic. Because I will say one thing,
- 40:04Speaker 3: when you are that young and you have it.
- 40:06Speaker 2: Like that, oh I could even imagine.
- 40:10Speaker 3: Honestly, Like at this point, it's funny because how much
- 40:15Speaker 3: I I have a brother who has three children and
- 40:18Speaker 3: they are still small and they are not going to
- 40:22Speaker 3: learn until they're eighteen. Like that was. That was the
- 40:26Speaker 3: agreement because of how much I got up to when
- 40:28Speaker 3: I was a kid. You know, because it's one of
- 40:31Speaker 3: those things too, like you know, somebody pisses you off,
- 40:33Speaker 3: that's that's a bad day for them, man. Like you know,
- 40:37Speaker 3: because you're you have the live wire of I can
- 40:40Speaker 3: do whatever the fuck I want and nothing's really going
- 40:42Speaker 3: to stop you. Like a thing I was told when
- 40:44Speaker 3: I was very young. So I was given two narratives
- 40:48Speaker 3: when I was a kid. One is that like there
- 40:51Speaker 3: there are you know, spirits and things that stop you
- 40:55Speaker 3: from going too far. And then another narrative was that
- 40:58Speaker 3: the know they're though they're not like, there's no police
- 41:01Speaker 3: for this, there's nothing. I don't know which one I
- 41:04Speaker 3: believe to be true. I think about this occasionally because
- 41:07Speaker 3: I've done good and I've done bad in my life
- 41:10Speaker 3: and eschatological questions are fascinating, and you know, the more
- 41:15Speaker 3: you project out of your body, experience spiritual states, talk
- 41:18Speaker 3: to divine beings, all these things you in my experience,
- 41:22Speaker 3: I'm left with more questions and answers. So I don't
- 41:24Speaker 3: see a lot of proof one way or the other.
- 41:27Speaker 3: But it is interesting because when you are a kid,
- 41:30Speaker 3: that is the last thing you give a fuck about,
- 41:31Speaker 3: you know what I mean. That is not what's on
- 41:34Speaker 3: your mind. You're just out there trying to do what
- 41:36Speaker 3: you're trying to do. But it is that same handful
- 41:41Speaker 3: of wild years that built a skill set in me
- 41:45Speaker 3: early because I was doing magic for magic's sake, you
- 41:48Speaker 3: know what I mean, just to do it, just to
- 41:50Speaker 3: feel that feeling, you know what I mean, to feel
- 41:52Speaker 3: that rush of holy shit. I did this, like I
- 41:55Speaker 3: made this happen, and I chase that my whole life,
- 41:57Speaker 3: I still do.
- 42:03Speaker 2: Uh. One thing I did want to ask if you
- 42:06Speaker 2: don't mind you know, I mean, I guess I guess
- 42:09Speaker 2: as descriptive as you don't mind getting into just for
- 42:12Speaker 2: some people, because I don't even think I even got
- 42:15Speaker 2: into this with the guy that I had on who
- 42:18Speaker 2: was into the Gatia solomonic magic. Can you give an idea? Obviously,
- 42:25Speaker 2: since you've practiced it, you could do a lot better
- 42:27Speaker 2: job than I can, But would you mind maybe giving
- 42:31Speaker 2: people an idea? Like the whole circle, the triangle, what
- 42:33Speaker 2: you're wearing, all that stuff, Like what is it actually?
- 42:36Speaker 3: Yeah? Like what you're doing?
- 42:38Speaker 2: Like explain because you know so somebody like, you know,
- 42:40Speaker 2: maybe explain a little bit more. This person may have
- 42:42Speaker 2: no idea, like when you're saying you're doing this.
- 42:45Speaker 3: Yeah, so if you're doing it. Traditionally you have you
- 42:48Speaker 3: have what I refer to as a protection array and
- 42:50Speaker 3: a containment array. Right, the circle is your protection array.
- 42:54Speaker 3: Different grand wires will give you different circles. They all
- 42:56Speaker 3: they all include god names, a traditional one for the go.
- 43:00Speaker 3: And it's funny because when I was taught it, I
- 43:01Speaker 3: saw the circle in English, not Hebrew, because my old
- 43:05Speaker 3: man doesn't speak Hebrew, and he was like, well, this
- 43:06Speaker 3: is what it says, and we have we have textual evidence,
- 43:09Speaker 3: especially from like the doctor Rudd stuff, which was not
- 43:12Speaker 3: unique to Stephen Skinner's knowledge. Incidentally, there there are families
- 43:15Speaker 3: of people who know this. But also you know, you
- 43:18Speaker 3: look into it and you're like, well, this is what
- 43:19Speaker 3: it says in Hebrew, because in the back of the
- 43:20Speaker 3: Gaatia they will tell you. Even the Dolorance edition will
- 43:23Speaker 3: tell you what it says, like they'll translate it, and
- 43:26Speaker 3: you're like, all right, cool, I'm just going to write
- 43:27Speaker 3: this in English. So you know, it's got the names
- 43:29Speaker 3: of planetary angels, which you then walk around the circle
- 43:33Speaker 3: and you call them one or turn another to protect you.
- 43:36Speaker 3: You will have been wearing vestments, usually like a white
- 43:38Speaker 3: linen robe. Some people will wear priest's robes. My mother's
- 43:43Speaker 3: people were kind of like weird magic Catholic, so I
- 43:46Speaker 3: you know, stole a priest's alb from a church when
- 43:49Speaker 3: I was a kid. I was up, yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 43:55Speaker 3: So see you they get that you might have a knife,
- 43:58Speaker 3: you might have a sword, if you doing the full
- 44:01Speaker 3: Greater Key of Solomon setup, you have a lot of
- 44:03Speaker 3: stuff you have, like special shoes and specialists, and specially
- 44:05Speaker 3: that you don't really need all that. To be completely
- 44:07Speaker 3: honest with you, you're gonna be wearing the Pentacle of Solomon
- 44:12Speaker 3: on your neck that that that brings spirits into control
- 44:15Speaker 3: of you. You have the ring of Spirit Felty that
- 44:17Speaker 3: you have to make or have made in the era
- 44:20Speaker 3: of today's world. You can easily order that shit on
- 44:24Speaker 3: Stephen Nicole. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, but so you can.
- 44:28Speaker 3: You can get the ring on fucking Etsy or whatever. Again,
- 44:32Speaker 3: my old band is a jeweler, so I was lucky
- 44:34Speaker 3: that way. Then you have the Hexagram of Solomon, which
- 44:37Speaker 3: you wear kind of like a Masonic apron. I believe
- 44:39Speaker 3: that's probably where it was. To be fair, though, most
- 44:43Speaker 3: working Solomon positions that I know will actually have that
- 44:46Speaker 3: just propped up on their altar rather than wearing it,
- 44:48Speaker 3: because you don't really need to wear it. The thing
- 44:51Speaker 3: just needs to see you. They needs to see it
- 44:54Speaker 3: because you say, you know, like behold the Hexagram of Solomon,
- 44:56Speaker 3: assume a comely form that helps to bind and control
- 44:58Speaker 3: the demon. The triangle is gonna have three three specific
- 45:03Speaker 3: god names around it and in the center. It's gonna
- 45:05Speaker 3: have the name of the archangel Michael, which you also
- 45:07Speaker 3: call to help bind the demon that you summon, you
- 45:11Speaker 3: like trace it with your sword or your knife through
- 45:12Speaker 3: inside the circle. You're gonna have a little altar probably
- 45:15Speaker 3: just to have your stuff, like you're gonna have a
- 45:17Speaker 3: Libra spiritum, a book that you know you especially make
- 45:20Speaker 3: to contain the spirit's names and their seals. You're also
- 45:23Speaker 3: gonna wear the seal of the spirit. You're gonna call
- 45:25Speaker 3: on a layman around your neck typically if you're if
- 45:28Speaker 3: if you know you don't have jeweler skills, which I don't.
- 45:30Speaker 3: I did not inherit that from my father. By the way,
- 45:33Speaker 3: you're gonna put that on like virgin parchment, because you know,
- 45:36Speaker 3: not everybody can can can can be fucking making and
- 45:39Speaker 3: making a layman's you know what I mean. There is
- 45:42Speaker 3: one specific item, the lion's skin belt for protection. We
- 45:47Speaker 3: find in more recent Grimoire translations examples of like a
- 45:51Speaker 3: deer skin belt, like like like a stag skin belt,
- 45:55Speaker 3: and I forget what it's called, the suma something the
- 45:58Speaker 3: Steven Skinner just put out. There's an example belt with
- 46:01Speaker 3: all the seventy two Chimham foursh angels' names on it
- 46:04Speaker 3: to provide protection. There's lots of these things. Those aren't
- 46:08Speaker 3: strictly necessary. I have found in my own practice that
- 46:11Speaker 3: the fifth pentacle of Mars, the won't scorpion on it
- 46:13Speaker 3: that terrifies and binds demons, can be used in its
- 46:17Speaker 3: place just as an extra layer of protection on you.
- 46:21Speaker 3: Supposing you have all that, supposing you've purified yourself correctly,
- 46:24Speaker 3: either through the fasting listed in the book or through
- 46:26Speaker 3: energetic practices that you have to be crucially actually good at,
- 46:31Speaker 3: like you have to not suck at those for this
- 46:33Speaker 3: to be able to replace that. Then you know you're
- 46:37Speaker 3: standing there. You get the calls ready and you start.
- 46:40Speaker 3: You start to do the incantations, after you've blessed yourself,
- 46:44Speaker 3: blessed the candles, blessed to everything you know. The Greater
- 46:47Speaker 3: Key of Solomon includes an entire section on like this
- 46:50Speaker 3: bless is the pen, you use, this bless is the book,
- 46:52Speaker 3: this bless is the thing, and even including a general blessing, which,
- 46:55Speaker 3: by the way, for those who are in want a
- 46:58Speaker 3: cool trick, the general blessing can be used to enchant
- 47:01Speaker 3: fucking anything, like anything. So if you're like making, for example,
- 47:06Speaker 3: a mojo hand in a folk match of context. You
- 47:09Speaker 3: drop that general blessing on it. It boosts it, so,
- 47:11Speaker 3: you know, don't don't don't don't think it isn't eminently useful,
- 47:15Speaker 3: because it is. And then, like I said, you got
- 47:17Speaker 3: all your stuff right, you start to call the spirit.
- 47:19Speaker 3: You do, you know, each call gets progressively more aggressive,
- 47:23Speaker 3: until you're threatening the spirit. You're stabbing its seal with
- 47:25Speaker 3: a knife, You're putting it in a box of fire
- 47:27Speaker 3: and smoke. You're you know. Also in the aforementioned excellent
- 47:31Speaker 3: book of Visions, they talk about drowning it in awful water,
- 47:35Speaker 3: stepping on it, you know, beating up the seal, because
- 47:37Speaker 3: that will cause harm to the spirit involved. The doctor
- 47:40Speaker 3: Rudd method includes attaching a swarting angel to each demon
- 47:45Speaker 3: that softens its rage. I found this to be true.
- 47:49Speaker 3: It makes them more obedient, it makes them more docile,
- 47:51Speaker 3: it makes them less likely to try to fuck you up.
- 47:53Speaker 3: So what you do is you will give that angel
- 47:55Speaker 3: a particular offering of say frank consense, like three days
- 47:58Speaker 3: before you summon it. And you're like, hey, angel, so
- 48:00Speaker 3: and so I'm gonna call this demon in three days
- 48:02Speaker 3: I'm gonna need you to help. And so you have
- 48:06Speaker 3: that thing's either seal or name on a separate layman.
- 48:11Speaker 3: And that's kind of the setup. You know, you call
- 48:14Speaker 3: it until it shows up. Now, realistically, either you're gonna
- 48:18Speaker 3: see it and hear it clearly or you're not. If
- 48:21Speaker 3: you don't, that doesn't mean you can't see it in
- 48:23Speaker 3: a visionary context. That doesn't mean that like the weird
- 48:25Speaker 3: daydreams and ideations you're having while doing this ritual art,
- 48:28Speaker 3: the spirit sometimes they are. We are all developed to
- 48:31Speaker 3: different levels, and frankly, none of us are. None of
- 48:34Speaker 3: us are perfect. Everyone has off days. You might be
- 48:37Speaker 3: conjuring and you don't see or feel anything. You know,
- 48:41Speaker 3: I'll be one of the first people out there to
- 48:43Speaker 3: say anybody who tells you they don't ever have an
- 48:45Speaker 3: off day is fucking lying to you. But just like
- 48:48Speaker 3: my old man told me, if nothing happens you don't
- 48:50Speaker 3: feel anything, you should still make your ask. You should
- 48:52Speaker 3: still be like, all right, spirits, And so I want
- 48:55Speaker 3: you to do this, and then you do the license
- 48:57Speaker 3: it depart, which sends it away. You do it three
- 48:59Speaker 3: times and then it's gone. Typically, even if you see
- 49:02Speaker 3: and feel nothing. You're probably gonna get what you ask
- 49:04Speaker 3: for now, context, be specific about what you asked for.
- 49:09Speaker 3: Don't let the monkeys paw you. Don't be stupid. Write
- 49:12Speaker 3: your petition out, bring it on paper, read it, and
- 49:15Speaker 3: reread it in the days leading up to the conjuration.
- 49:19Speaker 3: You know edits needed. Should if you have a buddy
- 49:22Speaker 3: you trust, have them read it for any potential errors,
- 49:25Speaker 3: because you know they'll give you the letter of what
- 49:27Speaker 3: you ask for. But sometimes you know the number of
- 49:31Speaker 3: people who've asked for money and had parents die. I don't.
- 49:38Speaker 2: That's a good way of putting it. Sometimes you be
- 49:40Speaker 2: surprised how you might end up getting what you wanted. Yeah,
- 49:46Speaker 2: I get that. That's interesting. Yeah, that was pretty, uh,
- 49:52Speaker 2: pretty in depth. Thank you. I really appreciate it. That
- 49:55Speaker 2: was like, I really don't think you could have really
- 49:57Speaker 2: added much more to that. Yeah, I don't know. Jin
- 50:02Speaker 2: you got anything you want to ask her to get
- 50:03Speaker 2: into or talk about.
- 50:05Speaker 1: Yeah, I actually have a follow up to that. That
- 50:07Speaker 1: was really grey, Alex. And obviously you did a like
- 50:11Speaker 1: an impeccable job at explaining like a whole ritual setup.
- 50:15Speaker 1: I never did it that elaborately myself, but I used
- 50:18Speaker 1: adapted chaos methods, we'll say, but I want to ask
- 50:22Speaker 1: you about the sort of folk methodology that's very popular
- 50:25Speaker 1: on Instagram. Our mutual friend CJ recorded a great episode
- 50:29Speaker 1: with me. I can't even remember the episode number, but
- 50:34Speaker 1: it was the No Curses for Old Men. So he
- 50:37Speaker 1: uses a more I'll say, like it's more rooted in
- 50:42Speaker 1: like whodoo folk magic conjure, and that this is more similar.
- 50:46Speaker 1: It's not exactly the same way, but he does. I
- 50:48Speaker 1: think he does a really good job in my opinion.
- 50:50Speaker 1: So I wanted to know if you use those methods
- 50:54Speaker 1: or what do you think of them, and if you
- 50:57Speaker 1: could like give a little layout of how someone go about,
- 51:01Speaker 1: yeah aativating them in that way.
- 51:03Speaker 3: So one, I think it's important to realize that these
- 51:05Speaker 3: methods are not new. A lot of grim Wars include
- 51:07Speaker 3: their books of secrets. The Grimori and Varum is the
- 51:10Speaker 3: most famous for this that basically give you folk magic
- 51:13Speaker 3: methods of working with these spirits. Where I disagree with
- 51:17Speaker 3: some people is I think you should have already summoned
- 51:20Speaker 3: the spirit as traditionally as possible and bound it, got
- 51:24Speaker 3: it to swear fealty to you, got it to swear
- 51:26Speaker 3: not to fuck with you. You know, got it to
- 51:29Speaker 3: give you its own special name by which you call it,
- 51:31Speaker 3: or in its own seal by which you know it alone,
- 51:35Speaker 3: and then you can just slott it into that. Because again,
- 51:39Speaker 3: big fan of who do and conjure, as I said,
- 51:40Speaker 3: big fan of the skeleton of that folk magic, because
- 51:43Speaker 3: it's so adaptable to fucking everything, I will say you can.
- 51:48Speaker 3: You can absolutely take planetary spirits without any issue, without
- 51:51Speaker 3: ever having conjured them fully, angels, even elemental spirits the
- 51:55Speaker 3: same way. The demons, I will say, are a little
- 51:57Speaker 3: bit I would argue you should would probably have them
- 52:01Speaker 3: connected better to mostly harness the full extent of their power,
- 52:05Speaker 3: because realistically, operatively, what it looks like in real life
- 52:10Speaker 3: is you call a demon and you go, okay, cool, whatever,
- 52:12Speaker 3: I need to do this. And again part of the
- 52:14Speaker 3: licenses apart is come again when I call you. And
- 52:17Speaker 3: when you do that, you don't need to do the
- 52:18Speaker 3: fasting anymore. You don't need to do all that stuff.
- 52:21Speaker 3: And you say it coming, I'm going to call you,
- 52:22Speaker 3: causing no harm to my people, my anything, blah blah blah.
- 52:25Speaker 3: So you're mostly safe from it at that point, and
- 52:28Speaker 3: most of the time. When you call these things and
- 52:29Speaker 3: you ask them like, hey, how do I do this?
- 52:31Speaker 3: They'll be like, okay, cool, get my seal, draw it on.
- 52:34Speaker 3: I don't know, the skull of a raven that you find,
- 52:37Speaker 3: and and I'll say things like I'll bring it to you.
- 52:39Speaker 3: I'll bring you the skull of a bird like this,
- 52:42Speaker 3: Paint my seal onto it, light a candle over it,
- 52:45Speaker 3: and then put your petition under it, and now'll you
- 52:48Speaker 3: do whatever? Or you slaught it directly into you know,
- 52:51Speaker 3: folk magic like no Vina candles, you know, incantation bowls,
- 52:56Speaker 3: the whole nine yards. You slaughter it all the way
- 52:58Speaker 3: in and it works. But like I said, in my opinion,
- 53:00Speaker 3: you should have had the correct connection with demons now. Also,
- 53:05Speaker 3: we know very thoroughly that solomonic pentacles or even parts
- 53:09Speaker 3: of them, have been used by root workers for fucking decades.
- 53:15Speaker 3: Like you know, you'll see this like people will, for example,
- 53:17Speaker 3: make a charmbag and one of the ingredients will be
- 53:19Speaker 3: a solomonic pannicle drawn on paper with a petition on
- 53:22Speaker 3: the back of it. You can do this too, And
- 53:24Speaker 3: let's say you want more money, you draw the second
- 53:26Speaker 3: penticle of Jupiter on a piece of paper in the
- 53:28Speaker 3: day and hour of Jupiter. You turn it upside down,
- 53:30Speaker 3: you write a whodoo petition like your name three times
- 53:34Speaker 3: rotated clockwise, more money, three times rotated clockwise. Around that,
- 53:37Speaker 3: you write in a circle, like I want to make
- 53:39Speaker 3: this much from this beat a passive income. I'm going
- 53:41Speaker 3: to do this month for da You make a circle,
- 53:43Speaker 3: flip it over, you do it slots right the fuck
- 53:46Speaker 3: in so like, yeah, no, that shit is great. I
- 53:49Speaker 3: do it all the time for clients myself. But also
- 53:51Speaker 3: not everything is going to require a full conjuration. And
- 53:54Speaker 3: most importantly, this shit is fun and it looks cool.
- 54:01Speaker 2: It can't you know it can be get very arts,
- 54:04Speaker 2: arts and crafty with this stuff.
- 54:06Speaker 3: Oh yeah, dude, you absolutely can. It's funny. I actually
- 54:09Speaker 3: knew somebody right. This is this is a love spell
- 54:11Speaker 3: this chick did where she made a poppet of somebody.
- 54:14Speaker 3: She laid it down and she got the fifth pinnacle
- 54:16Speaker 3: of Venus, which is like you see me and you
- 54:19Speaker 3: love me, And she put it on the thing's face
- 54:21Speaker 3: and she waterboarded it with like some line that she
- 54:25Speaker 3: like prayed the song of Solomon into It was the
- 54:29Speaker 3: most unhinged ship, but they're married. Now fuck yeah, it's
- 54:36Speaker 3: some ship. That's another thing too. You can you can
- 54:37Speaker 3: you can slot biblical conjure into this ship as well,
- 54:41Speaker 3: like all the way up, you know, because people use
- 54:45Speaker 3: the particle, so all magic hits like a truck.
- 54:47Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, Like, yeah, what'd you talk
- 54:50Speaker 2: about that a little bit? I don't know if a
- 54:51Speaker 2: lot of people know that. There's a lot of people
- 54:53Speaker 2: that I know that like you straight up psalms from them?
- 54:57Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, now that's the thing. I mean, ship. You know,
- 54:59Speaker 3: there are plenty of b about like what Psalm does what?
- 55:01Speaker 3: Or what biblical passage even does what? And regardless of
- 55:04Speaker 3: you're metaphysics, whether you are yourself a Christian or whether
- 55:07Speaker 3: you simply believe that the aggregor of Christianity has gotten
- 55:09Speaker 3: so beefy as a result of all the blood spilting
- 55:11Speaker 3: its name, either way, that shit works. Like the whole
- 55:15Speaker 3: thing is a fucking spell book. So like you know,
- 55:17Speaker 3: love spell, Song of Solomon. You know, if you want
- 55:19Speaker 3: to be protected Psalm ninety one, you want to be
- 55:22Speaker 3: cleansed of any negative miasma Psalm fifty one, you just
- 55:25Speaker 3: want to be lucky Psalm twenty one, you want to
- 55:27Speaker 3: fuck somebody up, Psalms fifty two all the way through
- 55:29Speaker 3: fifty nine. You know, whatever you want to do, there's
- 55:33Speaker 3: a psalm for it. And you can add that shit
- 55:35Speaker 3: to candle magic, and you get yourself a glass candle
- 55:37Speaker 3: like a novina candle. You write that psalm in a
- 55:40Speaker 3: spiral around that motherfucker. Right, you light it, and every day,
- 55:43Speaker 3: three times a day, you go back and you pray
- 55:44Speaker 3: the psalm and the candle's flame continues to empower it
- 55:47Speaker 3: because you've conjured it thus. Right, Because again, all candle
- 55:51Speaker 3: magic we use, no all, I take that back, Maybe
- 55:53Speaker 3: seventy percent of candle mass that we use is adapted
- 55:56Speaker 3: from like Congolese lamp magic, right, like, so you know
- 56:02Speaker 3: there's a lot of that too, which is also one
- 56:04Speaker 3: of the reasons why like a lot of conjure people
- 56:05Speaker 3: will take those like glass in case hurricane lamps, right,
- 56:08Speaker 3: they'll put all sorts of curios in that thing. You know,
- 56:11Speaker 3: they'll make a huge spell. So it's like a candle
- 56:13Speaker 3: spell plus a plus a conjure bag. Every time you
- 56:16Speaker 3: light it, it just goes. You know, you front load
- 56:17Speaker 3: that ship and it works. Yeah, man, it's it's you
- 56:20Speaker 3: can do all sorts of amazing ship with this.
- 56:23Speaker 2: Yeah, I think, uh, what I used to do, like
- 56:26Speaker 2: whatever I was doing the only sanitary magic and stuff
- 56:30Speaker 2: for the most part of Cabala. I used to use
- 56:36Speaker 2: like crystals, sigils, you know, like I would include a
- 56:41Speaker 2: like a lot of different things. Like I forgot what
- 56:44Speaker 2: I was going with that. What were you saying? Probably,
- 56:47Speaker 2: I'm sorry I was.
- 56:49Speaker 3: I was just going off.
- 56:51Speaker 2: Man, there was something I was gonna honestly, like.
- 56:53Speaker 3: It's just you. You can you can slot solimonic magic
- 56:56Speaker 3: into into conjure who do et cetera super effectively. In
- 56:59Speaker 3: there people who do it and make their whole careers
- 57:01Speaker 3: off it. There are people who build lives off of
- 57:03Speaker 3: that shit. You know, it works incredibly well.
- 57:09Speaker 1: And we'll say, sorry, Nick if you remember it. I
- 57:12Speaker 1: don't want to. No, No, I think Alex is reading
- 57:17Speaker 1: my mind, because actually I love Psalm fifty two through
- 57:21Speaker 1: fifty nine, although I use fifty seven for a different purpose.
- 57:23Speaker 1: But you can also use it in an impectatory way. Certainly,
- 57:26Speaker 1: if you read it, there's elements of that in it,
- 57:28Speaker 1: or at least reflection deflection. But those are some great
- 57:34Speaker 1: impectatory Psalms really underrated, really underrated. I just want to
- 57:39Speaker 1: say that.
- 57:39Speaker 3: No, I mean, if you feel, if you feel under
- 57:42Speaker 3: threat by anything, you read Psalms fifty two through fifty
- 57:46Speaker 3: nine and then you finish it with fifty one and
- 57:48Speaker 3: twenty three. So you're cursing people and you're blessing yourself.
- 57:51Speaker 3: Then you're purifying yourself and you're blessing yourself. You do
- 57:54Speaker 3: that morning, noon, and night, you'll see who your enemies are.
- 57:58Speaker 3: Their teeth will shatter, you know, I'll have emrors. Is
- 58:00Speaker 3: I dental work. They'll fall down and hurt themselves. They'll
- 58:03Speaker 3: be blighted in many ways by warning though, if you
- 58:06Speaker 3: do that shit, it's gonna work. And people you thought
- 58:08Speaker 3: were your friends, maybe they're not your friends. You know
- 58:10Speaker 3: what I mean. So just understand.
- 58:15Speaker 2: I don't know why I was bringing it up, but
- 58:16Speaker 2: I remember now what I was gonna say is that,
- 58:18Speaker 2: like I think maybe a candle magic made me think
- 58:20Speaker 2: about something about how like I would incorporate that in
- 58:22Speaker 2: sigils and like whole whole bunch of stuff, like regardless
- 58:24Speaker 2: of like what I was working sometimes saying like I
- 58:27Speaker 2: could be doing tobalistic a planetary magic and somehow I
- 58:30Speaker 2: would just incorporate that candle has the right color. I
- 58:32Speaker 2: might have put the right oils on it, maybe trusted
- 58:34Speaker 2: with some herbs that match everything too, just to have
- 58:37Speaker 2: like extra you know whatever.
- 58:39Speaker 3: Yeah, stages it up. Man, it's his thing. It's it's
- 58:41Speaker 3: it's it's sort of the ubiquitous sort.
- 58:43Speaker 2: Of plus it's it can be fun as it's fun
- 58:48Speaker 2: as fuck.
- 58:48Speaker 3: It's also the ubiquitous structural language of magic. At this point.
- 58:52Speaker 3: The only thing I will say that I find to
- 58:54Speaker 3: be a weakness that it has is you will find
- 58:57Speaker 3: a lot of people and I hate it sounded like
- 58:58Speaker 3: something like bitter old head because I have a beef
- 59:01Speaker 3: with boomers in the eccult community in general. Like I
- 59:04Speaker 3: will say that full on. But a lot of people
- 59:07Speaker 3: they can't do magic without fucking candles, and like if
- 59:10Speaker 3: you can't like get a piece of earth and conjure it,
- 59:15Speaker 3: you know, and if you can't get water and pray
- 59:18Speaker 3: over it and enchant it. If you can't, it's like,
- 59:20Speaker 3: you know, capture the wind in a knot using ligature magic,
- 59:24Speaker 3: you know, Like you need to work in balancing your shit, right.
- 59:26Speaker 3: I think there's an elemental imbalance because I'm a big
- 59:28Speaker 3: Bartain guy. I think there's an elemental imbalance in the
- 59:31Speaker 3: ecull community of fire. I think that's one of the
- 59:33Speaker 3: reasons why you're seeing a lot of misplaced aggression personally.
- 59:37Speaker 3: And I think it's because of the ubiquitous nature of like,
- 59:40Speaker 3: you know, Instagram, candlespells. They look they look great, but
- 59:44Speaker 3: it's like, can you do the magic, you know, with
- 59:46Speaker 3: a different element, you know what I mean?
- 59:48Speaker 2: Like, Kin, did you have anything you want to say?
- 59:55Speaker 1: Well, Barnon emphasizes meditation, and this is something that Nick
- 59:59Speaker 1: and I often and well Nick obviously it's his show,
- 1:00:02Speaker 1: but he always asks magicians whenever they're on, and it's
- 1:00:05Speaker 1: something that him and I speak about on the show,
- 1:00:07Speaker 1: and then also privately, just the importance of like a
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: fundamental meditation practice. I just wanted to know if that
- 1:00:13Speaker 1: is a part. Not storry Nick, I'm not trying to
- 1:00:15Speaker 1: steal your question, that's totally disgusting, but you know, is
- 1:00:19Speaker 1: this a big part of your practice, Alex and how
- 1:00:22Speaker 1: important would you say it is? And in relation to
- 1:00:24Speaker 1: Bardon who says it should be like a daily thing.
- 1:00:27Speaker 3: Oh yeah, crucially, Now, if you don't have at least
- 1:00:29Speaker 3: a daily at the very least a daily mindfulness practice,
- 1:00:33Speaker 3: and I think it's going to be more than that.
- 1:00:34Speaker 3: I mean, my bare minimum meditative load out is observing
- 1:00:39Speaker 3: my thoughts, single pointed focus, and in evacuity of mind
- 1:00:43Speaker 3: every day without exception. And I do multiple hours of
- 1:00:47Speaker 3: seated energetic practices, you know, astral practices, all sorts of
- 1:00:51Speaker 3: stuff every day. I mean, I do it. But again,
- 1:00:53Speaker 3: like also do this for a living, so I have
- 1:00:54Speaker 3: the luxury of having the time, But like I do know,
- 1:00:57Speaker 3: I think it's crucial, and I think if you're not
- 1:00:58Speaker 3: training your magic, the magic that is you, rather than
- 1:01:03Speaker 3: just spirits, you're missing out. It's one of the reasons
- 1:01:05Speaker 3: why I have a love hate relationship with Barden and
- 1:01:08Speaker 3: have my whole life, because I think that he produced
- 1:01:11Speaker 3: one of the best although I would argue maladapted training
- 1:01:16Speaker 3: methods that we have in the Western canon, I would
- 1:01:18Speaker 3: argue that there are people now who teach Barden better
- 1:01:20Speaker 3: than Barden. But I mean, if you and I hate
- 1:01:25Speaker 3: saying this because like I think that those of us
- 1:01:28Speaker 3: who are Barden heads owe him a great debt, but
- 1:01:33Speaker 3: I think that you shouldn't listen to his opinions about things.
- 1:01:37Speaker 3: If you want to be an operative magician because he
- 1:01:40Speaker 3: falls in the category of magic is very real and
- 1:01:43Speaker 3: that's unfortunate, right, like he I don't know. Again, one day,
- 1:01:49Speaker 3: at the end of all things, my ghost will meet
- 1:01:51Speaker 3: his ghost and will have a conversation. I think it'll
- 1:01:53Speaker 3: hate me, but that's okay. I just yeah, I think
- 1:01:56Speaker 3: that that's extraordinarily crucial because if you don't, you're discerned
- 1:02:00Speaker 3: is weak, and if your discernment is weak, you can
- 1:02:03Speaker 3: be taken for a ride. And I've seen it my
- 1:02:04Speaker 3: whole life with magicians who were powerful, like objectively powerful
- 1:02:09Speaker 3: occultists who you know, ended up, you know, facing oblivion
- 1:02:13Speaker 3: as a result of a lack of discernment. So yeah,
- 1:02:19Speaker 3: rotate the apple in your head man, every day.
- 1:02:22Speaker 2: Thank you, thank you. I mean that's like a common
- 1:02:25Speaker 2: thing really with anybody. And thank you for bringing up
- 1:02:28Speaker 2: jin because actually forgot that question. Anybody that I would
- 1:02:31Speaker 2: say is so much serious or worth listening to, they
- 1:02:33Speaker 2: always are telling you almost the first thing. And I
- 1:02:35Speaker 2: again have to learn to meditate. Unfortunately. You know a
- 1:02:40Speaker 2: lot of people hate that, hate that word, but.
- 1:02:44Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know, man, it's it's it's always important.
- 1:02:47Speaker 3: But like it sharpens you, you know, I mean it's
- 1:02:51Speaker 3: I'm I'm big on a need for fundamentals training in
- 1:02:56Speaker 3: magic because I always try to approach it like a craft,
- 1:02:58Speaker 3: like a skill, like anything else. You know, like if
- 1:03:01Speaker 3: you're a guitar player, say, and you don't practice with
- 1:03:04Speaker 3: a metronome, you don't run your scales, you don't you know, practice,
- 1:03:07Speaker 3: whatever it is you're doing not going to be very good.
- 1:03:10Speaker 3: You need a bass, just like in magic you need
- 1:03:13Speaker 3: a bass. You need you know, a seated or even
- 1:03:17Speaker 3: moving practice. I think that's actually the thing that Barden
- 1:03:20Speaker 3: lacks is he doesn't talk about body work in practice
- 1:03:23Speaker 3: at all, which I mean, again not exactly he has
- 1:03:26Speaker 3: alter or anything, but I think that's the thing you
- 1:03:27Speaker 3: can do to enhance stuff. He also doesn't talk to
- 1:03:29Speaker 3: anything about like timelines of training and man, again, I
- 1:03:34Speaker 3: hate I hate being again, I hate being like a
- 1:03:35Speaker 3: complete dickhead. But like, I think that the Barden community
- 1:03:37Speaker 3: as a whole is also part of the problem. That
- 1:03:40Speaker 3: they worship the Man as a god and they talk
- 1:03:43Speaker 3: about like this is a lifelong practice, and I'm like,
- 1:03:45Speaker 3: if you can't get through Barden's first book in six
- 1:03:47Speaker 3: months to a year, it's because you're not doing it right.
- 1:03:50Speaker 3: You're not trying hard enough, Like you're not reading between
- 1:03:54Speaker 3: the lines of Barden bitching at you for having human
- 1:03:57Speaker 3: emotions and wants and desires.
- 1:04:05Speaker 2: Something else I thought about asking, but I lost it
- 1:04:08Speaker 2: a bit ago. We talked about the Solomonic managing Goeti
- 1:04:14Speaker 2: folk magic. Is there anything else that's under your belt
- 1:04:18Speaker 2: that you maybe we didn't talk about yet.
- 1:04:21Speaker 3: Honestly, Barden better than Barden, I guess you'd say, like
- 1:04:25Speaker 3: I do. To be fair, I have a lot of
- 1:04:26Speaker 3: practices and a lot of arkanas that I don't publicly
- 1:04:30Speaker 3: talk about because you shouldn't ever show your whole hand, right.
- 1:04:34Speaker 3: There are also things that frankly, I'm not advanced enough,
- 1:04:36Speaker 3: Like I'm technically initiated in Trinidad in Obeya, but I
- 1:04:39Speaker 3: haven't been many years in it yet. But it is
- 1:04:42Speaker 3: a thing that I do. But yeah, I mean, when
- 1:04:45Speaker 3: it comes to the other thing I do, it's actually
- 1:04:47Speaker 3: a big thing I teach. You know, I put out
- 1:04:48Speaker 3: a thing called The Principles of Magic Course where I
- 1:04:50Speaker 3: basically teach Barden's first book and part of his second,
- 1:04:55Speaker 3: with you know, some adaptations that make it more workable
- 1:04:58Speaker 3: with some timelines and training that make more reasonable. The
- 1:05:00Speaker 3: reason I did that was as I was doing one
- 1:05:02Speaker 3: on one teaching pedagogy for people who, you know, wanted
- 1:05:06Speaker 3: to learn, and I realized that a lot of people
- 1:05:09Speaker 3: just weren't as good at this as they thought they were.
- 1:05:11Speaker 3: And it's kind of heartbreaking when you're talking to someone
- 1:05:13Speaker 3: who's like, I want to make my life better. I
- 1:05:15Speaker 3: want these amazing things. And I've been doing magic for
- 1:05:18Speaker 3: thirty years and you're like, have you or have you
- 1:05:21Speaker 3: been adjacent to magic for thirty years? Like have you?
- 1:05:25Speaker 3: It's kind of like someone goes, oh, I've been playing
- 1:05:26Speaker 3: drums since I was fourteen, and you're like, na, homie,
- 1:05:28Speaker 3: you owned a drum set since you were fourteen, Like
- 1:05:31Speaker 3: you haven't been playing I have been practicing him and
- 1:05:33Speaker 3: grinding since you were fourteen. And I found that people lacked,
- 1:05:37Speaker 3: you know, even the ability to hold a thought in
- 1:05:39Speaker 3: their mind for a few minutes without without interference, you know,
- 1:05:43Speaker 3: all those basic exercises they just didn't do. So I
- 1:05:47Speaker 3: put a lot of it together, like, no, not only
- 1:05:49Speaker 3: are these important, but each one of them does something
- 1:05:53Speaker 3: can be used to do something mechanically and physically for
- 1:05:56Speaker 3: your benefit. You know, even just using the Barden's idea
- 1:06:00Speaker 3: of the cultivation of vital energy can make you physically
- 1:06:04Speaker 3: stronger in the gym, Like, you should be able to
- 1:06:07Speaker 3: do that and see physical results it can make you
- 1:06:10Speaker 3: if you have if you push the elemental air through
- 1:06:12Speaker 3: your body, you should be able to run faster or longer,
- 1:06:15Speaker 3: or hike for longer distances without fatigue. Like, you should
- 1:06:18Speaker 3: be able to do these things, provided you've put in
- 1:06:21Speaker 3: the requisite time. The thing is, Barden didn't talk about this,
- 1:06:24Speaker 3: and I do you know, if you put in five
- 1:06:26Speaker 3: cumulative hours of an elemental energy, you should be able
- 1:06:28Speaker 3: to generate it cleanly. So if you practice for fifteen
- 1:06:31Speaker 3: minutes a day, how long until you get to roughly
- 1:06:33Speaker 3: five hours. There you go, and any one of my
- 1:06:36Speaker 3: students will will be the first one to tell you, like, yeah,
- 1:06:38Speaker 3: it's you can generate it like that once you get it,
- 1:06:41Speaker 3: and it can be used to actually make the world better.
- 1:06:43Speaker 3: Problem is, you read Bardon and he tells you all
- 1:06:46Speaker 3: these cool things you should do, But then he's like,
- 1:06:48Speaker 3: but unless you have the will of divine providence, you're
- 1:06:50Speaker 3: damned forever if you ever use this for personal gain
- 1:06:53Speaker 3: and you're like, fuck you Barton, you know what I mean? Like, So, yeah,
- 1:06:56Speaker 3: that's the other thing I hammer on about, man, like
- 1:06:59Speaker 3: I'm a I'm a big crusader about you know, these
- 1:07:02Speaker 3: fundamental skills in themselves are a magical system that if
- 1:07:07Speaker 3: you had nothing else but them, you could build whatever
- 1:07:09Speaker 3: life you wanted for yourself.
- 1:07:15Speaker 2: Definitely can be used for good. Sure jin you got
- 1:07:21Speaker 2: anything else you wanted to ask, right.
- 1:07:26Speaker 1: I think that I think Alex is correct that like
- 1:07:28Speaker 1: you should use sorcery. Maybe I prefer a mor surgical
- 1:07:34Speaker 1: plus thometrgy approach, like I like both together. Obviously, I
- 1:07:39Speaker 1: just like I would practice the Keys of Solomon slightly
- 1:07:43Speaker 1: differently than Alex described I would. I say, it's a
- 1:07:46Speaker 1: unified system between Goushia and angels, and they are just
- 1:07:49Speaker 1: merely reflections of each other, and so to work them
- 1:07:52Speaker 1: in that way is more synthetic, maybe more Christian cabalistic process,
- 1:07:57Speaker 1: like you're going more for a tiphoretic consciousness, as we
- 1:08:00Speaker 1: often talk about on the show. So that's just my
- 1:08:03Speaker 1: personal opinion, And obviously I take a non dual approach,
- 1:08:07Speaker 1: but I agree that you should use the practices not
- 1:08:12Speaker 1: only to better your life, or the material life, but
- 1:08:15Speaker 1: also yourself. And just like self improvement is possible, people
- 1:08:20Speaker 1: can change. They are fluid, We're in flux. I just
- 1:08:24Speaker 1: I think that's a really important point for right now,
- 1:08:26Speaker 1: because a lot of people forget that they have their
- 1:08:30Speaker 1: own agency, their own free will. And I do actually
- 1:08:33Speaker 1: believe in free will very strongly. So I even think
- 1:08:36Speaker 1: that if you have a strong enough free will, I
- 1:08:38Speaker 1: actually think a lot of magic won't work on you.
- 1:08:41Speaker 3: Just my opinion, but I would argue that it's true
- 1:08:43Speaker 3: to a point. I find that it is harder to influence,
- 1:08:49Speaker 3: to dominate those of us who have a strong and
- 1:08:52Speaker 3: developed will with magic. There are of course workarounds for that.
- 1:08:56Speaker 3: You know, if you can't you know, overpower something you
- 1:08:58Speaker 3: can still corral. It is still trickery you can do.
- 1:09:01Speaker 3: But and again that's that's that's the forever arms race
- 1:09:04Speaker 3: of magic and witchcraft. Man, Like you know, the first
- 1:09:07Speaker 3: person to ever learn to figure out a mirror spell
- 1:09:10Speaker 3: in ten seconds, someone figured out how to reverse a
- 1:09:12Speaker 3: mirror spell, you know what I mean? Like, it's it's
- 1:09:14Speaker 3: it's it's the nerdy magic guy brain. You know that
- 1:09:18Speaker 3: just it just you know works with tech, especially if
- 1:09:20Speaker 3: you're an operator, right, like you're you know, you're like,
- 1:09:22Speaker 3: I get this ship done. I make this ship work.
- 1:09:25Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean, but even looking at like Barden's
- 1:09:27Speaker 3: cultivation stuff, you know, like if you want to be smarter,
- 1:09:31Speaker 3: you know, packing your head full of the element of
- 1:09:33Speaker 3: air will make you smarter, will make your memory better,
- 1:09:37Speaker 3: you know, And I mean there are too many there
- 1:09:39Speaker 3: are too many case studies of this in my own
- 1:09:41Speaker 3: students and in people who teach similar things for me
- 1:09:44Speaker 3: to even deny, even outside of my own experience. You know,
- 1:09:46Speaker 3: if you use servitors correctly, for example, they should be
- 1:09:49Speaker 3: able to speed up your learning of skills by orders
- 1:09:52Speaker 3: of magnitude, which is why so many magicians were considered
- 1:09:56Speaker 3: fucking polymaths because they were just really good at stuff,
- 1:10:00Speaker 3: you know. I mean there's a reason why, like things
- 1:10:02Speaker 3: like the arsenatoria exist where you know, grimmore's a rapid
- 1:10:05Speaker 3: learning they work. I know people who've done them, you know.
- 1:10:10Speaker 3: I mean, if you can't make your life, See, my
- 1:10:12Speaker 3: biggest thing is not just making your life better, but
- 1:10:14Speaker 3: making your life fucking awesome. Like you should not be
- 1:10:18Speaker 3: a magician and having a life. You're like, eh, it's
- 1:10:22Speaker 3: all right, now you should be fucking stoked, like what
- 1:10:25Speaker 3: are you doing? And again people get mad, But my
- 1:10:31Speaker 3: retort to that is always if that makes you mad,
- 1:10:34Speaker 3: maybe hit dogs holler you know what I mean, Like,
- 1:10:36Speaker 3: maybe I touch something sensitive in you. Because your life
- 1:10:39Speaker 3: isn't what you want it to be, but it could be.
- 1:10:42Speaker 3: Everything you want is real. It can be yours, it
- 1:10:46Speaker 3: ought to be, and if you have access to this,
- 1:10:50Speaker 3: you can make it yours. You don't even have to
- 1:10:53Speaker 3: be that fucked up to do it. You don't need
- 1:10:54Speaker 3: to be less some craven black magician, although they are
- 1:10:58Speaker 3: out there and they do exist. You know, there are
- 1:11:01Speaker 3: some super villains out there, but like, you don't have
- 1:11:05Speaker 3: to be you know, you don't need to like like
- 1:11:07Speaker 3: I talk about this a lot too, right, Like I
- 1:11:08Speaker 3: gave the example of the love spell. I don't condone
- 1:11:11Speaker 3: compulsory love magic for two reasons. One it's fucked up,
- 1:11:13Speaker 3: but two it's insufficient spiritual technology. At this point, again,
- 1:11:17Speaker 3: we live on the Internet. The Internet is our bioregion,
- 1:11:20Speaker 3: our psychic bioregion. Right, you know you want to get
- 1:11:23Speaker 3: a certain kind of partner. Why do you care about
- 1:11:25Speaker 3: Sally down the road when you can do any sort
- 1:11:29Speaker 3: of road opener drawing thing, using for example, the magnetic
- 1:11:33Speaker 3: current Embardins thing to draw the right kind of partner
- 1:11:37Speaker 3: to you. You can even have a build a bitch
- 1:11:39Speaker 3: workshop list, you know what I mean. You can make
- 1:11:40Speaker 3: I want to look like this, be into this like
- 1:11:42Speaker 3: some anime, do whatever, and as long as you aren't
- 1:11:45Speaker 3: a complete fucking troglodite, you pull it off better than
- 1:11:49Speaker 3: you think.
- 1:11:52Speaker 2: Yes, I you remember what one of the questions I
- 1:11:57Speaker 2: was gonna ask.
- 1:11:57Speaker 3: You hit me with it when.
- 1:12:00Speaker 2: It comes to like, I guess, uh, the articaatia? What
- 1:12:05Speaker 2: were you using like the ones that Mathers and Crowley did?
- 1:12:08Speaker 2: Do they you go back further?
- 1:12:10Speaker 3: Which so when I was first shown it again, it
- 1:12:13Speaker 3: was it was it was my father's book. You know,
- 1:12:17Speaker 3: his stuff came from the Mathers and Crowley thing, but
- 1:12:20Speaker 3: also other sources, right like he because he talked to
- 1:12:23Speaker 3: people over his life, you know what I mean. He
- 1:12:25Speaker 3: talked to other practitioners, got tips and tricks from them,
- 1:12:29Speaker 3: you know, like they there wasn't there wasn't the internet
- 1:12:31Speaker 3: as there is today. But you know, if you were
- 1:12:33Speaker 3: a worldly traveled person, you ran into your own kind
- 1:12:36Speaker 3: because we called to each other, you know what I mean,
- 1:12:38Speaker 3: Like our hearts sing to each other, and you know,
- 1:12:41Speaker 3: you meet them, you talk and eventually after you got
- 1:12:43Speaker 3: over the squirrely like is this guy trying to work
- 1:12:45Speaker 3: me or whatever?
- 1:12:46Speaker 1: It's funny we.
- 1:12:48Speaker 3: Got that ship though. No, man, it's real. You know,
- 1:12:51Speaker 3: it's real, you know out there. But like it's one
- 1:12:53Speaker 3: of those situations where like, you know, he found some stuff.
- 1:12:55Speaker 3: But so it was really it was. It was from that,
- 1:12:58Speaker 3: but it was like, for example, right in the Matterson
- 1:13:01Speaker 3: Crowley one, you will say the Boornless Ritual before the thing.
- 1:13:05Speaker 3: I was always taught the Headless Ritual from the PGM,
- 1:13:08Speaker 3: like that was. I was taught that and what I
- 1:13:10Speaker 3: saw so much so that when I saw the Boornless Ritual,
- 1:13:12Speaker 3: I was like, well, someone got this shit wrong. Like
- 1:13:15Speaker 3: I didn't have a Lodge magic concept. That was another
- 1:13:17Speaker 3: thing too. When I was coming up. My old man
- 1:13:20Speaker 3: was like, the Golden Dawn is retarded. It doesn't do
- 1:13:23Speaker 3: magic really well. It doesn't give you anything that makes
- 1:13:25Speaker 3: things happen very well. So that was my concept. I
- 1:13:27Speaker 3: have met Golden Dawn members that could do magic, admittedly,
- 1:13:31Speaker 3: but not many. Let me just say, let me.
- 1:13:35Speaker 1: Just interrupt you there, Alex, just simply because we did
- 1:13:37Speaker 1: have Jimmie Paul Lamb like Nick did. I shouldn't say we,
- 1:13:40Speaker 1: but Nick didn't have Jamie Paul Lamb on and he
- 1:13:43Speaker 1: was a very while I was there, but he was
- 1:13:45Speaker 1: a very impressive magician, very impressive. And I'm very particular,
- 1:13:51Speaker 1: and I'm pretty good at caabala myself, so.
- 1:13:53Speaker 3: Sure, sure, just like just like, for example, John Michael
- 1:13:56Speaker 3: Greer is from I've never met him, but people I
- 1:13:58Speaker 3: know have he's good, as I understand it, and people
- 1:14:01Speaker 3: I trust say that his magic is good. The point
- 1:14:03Speaker 3: is I was told when I was coming up, these
- 1:14:06Speaker 3: things aren't worth your time, and so I didn't bother.
- 1:14:08Speaker 3: I didn't read any of it. I didn't look into
- 1:14:10Speaker 3: any of it when I was coming because I was
- 1:14:11Speaker 3: I was mostly concerned about like, well, again, if the
- 1:14:14Speaker 3: only especially when I was super young, if the only
- 1:14:16Speaker 3: person teaching me says this is this is bad, then
- 1:14:18Speaker 3: fucking okay, Well it is what it is. I'm just
- 1:14:20Speaker 3: here to learn the cool shit when I when I
- 1:14:22Speaker 3: became older, I read more into these things and I
- 1:14:24Speaker 3: met more people that could do things, but in general
- 1:14:29Speaker 3: I was somewhat less educated than my peers in terms
- 1:14:34Speaker 3: of the pure academics of it. When I was much younger,
- 1:14:36Speaker 3: because I was an operator, you know what I mean.
- 1:14:38Speaker 3: I was here to do the thing. I may not
- 1:14:40Speaker 3: have been able to be converse in the tree of
- 1:14:42Speaker 3: life when I was, say eighteen, but I could fucking
- 1:14:44Speaker 3: touch you, you know what I mean. I could. I could
- 1:14:46Speaker 3: reach out for miles away and be where you were,
- 1:14:48Speaker 3: you know, because I practiced hard. And I've actually found
- 1:14:51Speaker 3: that to be true where I've met practitioners who were deeply,
- 1:14:55Speaker 3: deeply almost occult illiterate, but they were aggressive about their
- 1:15:01Speaker 3: training and it showed right like they could do things.
- 1:15:04Speaker 3: Their magic was stronger, if dumber, I guess you'd say, right.
- 1:15:09Speaker 3: And that was kind of me when I was coming up,
- 1:15:10Speaker 3: you know, like I could do all sorts of things.
- 1:15:12Speaker 3: But I actually didn't read that many books by people
- 1:15:14Speaker 3: I had in person teachers, you know. I was fortunate
- 1:15:17Speaker 3: that way, but it actually gave me. And this is
- 1:15:20Speaker 3: the thing where I was incorrect when I was younger.
- 1:15:22Speaker 3: I actually had kind of a low opinion of people
- 1:15:24Speaker 3: who had just learned from books or loge systems or whatever,
- 1:15:27Speaker 3: because I was told that their magic was largely weak.
- 1:15:29Speaker 3: I was incorrect about that. In general, I will say
- 1:15:32Speaker 3: there is something that is to be gained from repetitive
- 1:15:36Speaker 3: aggressive practice, you know, in terms of these skills, But
- 1:15:40Speaker 3: there's lots of different ways to get there, you know
- 1:15:41Speaker 3: what I mean.
- 1:15:45Speaker 2: Yes, So like now, like you still use that version
- 1:15:48Speaker 2: or oh yeah, I mean it's it's it's it's it
- 1:15:51Speaker 2: was not I that's what you choose. No, no, no, it's
- 1:15:54Speaker 2: it's it's The thing is the gawaisha I learned is
- 1:15:56Speaker 2: still what I use. It's my it's it's my it's
- 1:15:58Speaker 2: my family legacy. I mean, it's it's it's my blood,
- 1:16:02Speaker 2: you know, just like just like I look at bardon
- 1:16:03Speaker 2: as something I can't walk away from, and and American
- 1:16:07Speaker 2: folk magic is something I can't walk away from, not
- 1:16:09Speaker 2: that I would ever want to, but that's that's who
- 1:16:11Speaker 2: I am during during my like formative years, growing up,
- 1:16:15Speaker 2: having puberty, you know, learning these things, these things are
- 1:16:18Speaker 2: as attached to my soul as anything could be. You know,
- 1:16:23Speaker 2: like I will always find home in those practices.
- 1:16:28Speaker 3: As critical as I am a bardon.
- 1:16:31Speaker 2: Uh have you ever had have you ever had any
- 1:16:34Speaker 2: experience of the ars inatoria?
- 1:16:38Speaker 1: Uh?
- 1:16:38Speaker 3: So personally no, but I actually know. I have two
- 1:16:41Speaker 3: really good friends who did work some of it, one
- 1:16:44Speaker 3: of them for musical talent, who had none, and then
- 1:16:46Speaker 3: within six months he was going to jam because I
- 1:16:48Speaker 3: play guitar, right, he was going to jam sessions with me.
- 1:16:51Speaker 3: And he's not amazing, but he went from like zero
- 1:16:55Speaker 3: to competent enough to go to a jazz jam session.
- 1:16:58Speaker 3: So like, that's fucking if if you know anything about
- 1:17:01Speaker 3: like specifically like improv based jazz, that's fucking impressive. Right,
- 1:17:05Speaker 3: And another person learned Latin in relatively short amount of time. Yeah,
- 1:17:11Speaker 3: that's what he absolutely works, but I have not personally
- 1:17:14Speaker 3: done it yet.
- 1:17:16Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that almost makes me think about uh oh
- 1:17:20Speaker 2: yeah that what's his name, Jed Donald Bruno with like
- 1:17:23Speaker 2: his whole memory shit, Oh.
- 1:17:24Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, dude, big big Bruno fan over here,
- 1:17:26Speaker 3: big big big fan of the mind palace, right, Like
- 1:17:29Speaker 3: I funk.
- 1:17:30Speaker 2: With that, nice, nice, nice Yeah. I just released a
- 1:17:33Speaker 2: solo show on him, like a couple of weeks ago.
- 1:17:35Speaker 2: Two parts was a gangster, absolutely fucking I had to.
- 1:17:41Speaker 2: I guess I don't know if it was really his mouth,
- 1:17:43Speaker 2: I guess it was his pen. It's like every time
- 1:17:46Speaker 2: he would just put something out, but like, this person
- 1:17:49Speaker 2: is a fucking idiot, Like that's basically what he was doing,
- 1:17:51Speaker 2: and white people didn't like him. It's because he was
- 1:17:53Speaker 2: arguing and being kind of a dick about.
- 1:17:54Speaker 3: It that he didn't. The man had an aggressive aspect.
- 1:17:58Speaker 2: No, I know, I love it, hilariot.
- 1:18:00Speaker 1: So it was like fun.
- 1:18:01Speaker 2: He would totally fit.
- 1:18:02Speaker 1: In all, specifically three of us, and we all have
- 1:18:07Speaker 1: like our Yeah, we're all a little fiery, and I
- 1:18:09Speaker 1: think that that is.
- 1:18:10Speaker 2: Oh he'd fit right in. Yeah, no, he'd be great. Now.
- 1:18:13Speaker 2: It is perfect. But uh yeah, I guess I guess
- 1:18:18Speaker 2: they will wrap it up there. I'm sure we could
- 1:18:20Speaker 2: have a discussion on something else in the future. But
- 1:18:22Speaker 2: uh yeah, I pretty much got whatever I was like
- 1:18:24Speaker 2: hoping to ask you to talk about.
- 1:18:25Speaker 3: So shit, man, I'm I'm glad to be here. Thank
- 1:18:28Speaker 3: you for lamble too much.
- 1:18:29Speaker 2: Oh no, oh dude, that was great. You explained a
- 1:18:32Speaker 2: lot of stuff that I've never actually had talked about
- 1:18:34Speaker 2: on the show before. So that's great because I do
- 1:18:37Speaker 2: think chin I may be wrong, but like I'm pretty
- 1:18:40Speaker 2: sure Jamie pul Lamb didn't really the way he did it.
- 1:18:44Speaker 2: I don't think it was like you're the way he does, right, No.
- 1:18:47Speaker 1: He definitely, but he trained in Golden Dawn, so he
- 1:18:50Speaker 1: had like all the ceremonial fundamentals like for a decade
- 1:18:54Speaker 1: or two decades or however long. But the way he
- 1:18:57Speaker 1: adopted it was much more like my style. I mean,
- 1:18:59Speaker 1: I'm not saying because he kind of invented his own
- 1:19:02Speaker 1: sort of even working methodology. You're yeah, I would say
- 1:19:06Speaker 1: he invented his own. He kind of pioneered his own style,
- 1:19:09Speaker 1: but he is he is taking cues from chaos magic.
- 1:19:13Speaker 1: So it's more similar to how I would maybe approach
- 1:19:17Speaker 1: more traditional system myself, just simply because that is my
- 1:19:20Speaker 1: like origin background, like a grip up plus chaos magic.
- 1:19:24Speaker 1: So yeah, I just think that the chaos magic things
- 1:19:29Speaker 1: seems to feel a lot more popular with like like
- 1:19:31Speaker 1: you've had so many people on Nick, like from the
- 1:19:33Speaker 1: Oto or from this and they're all talking about consciousness.
- 1:19:36Speaker 1: Now they're all talking about meditation, they're talking about dharma,
- 1:19:40Speaker 1: they're talking about just it's magic in a very different way,
- 1:19:44Speaker 1: and it's much more similar to that late eighties like
- 1:19:47Speaker 1: early nineties chaos magic, and even Alex is talking about
- 1:19:50Speaker 1: like a cyber magic well of course, like you can't
- 1:19:53Speaker 1: talk about cyber magic without talking about like Peter Carroll
- 1:19:55Speaker 1: and Liber Chaos and Liber Cyber and all those books,
- 1:19:59Speaker 1: because they I'll talk a lot about this, like using
- 1:20:02Speaker 1: sort of like the Internet as a sort of primordial ground.
- 1:20:06Speaker 1: Maybe you could even say maybe it's not the primordial ground,
- 1:20:08Speaker 1: maybe it's the carnal ground, and you're using that as
- 1:20:11Speaker 1: sort of like to supplement or as the as alex said,
- 1:20:14Speaker 1: like the sort of the ground we dwell on. So
- 1:20:16Speaker 1: you're using that as like the place, but it's not
- 1:20:18Speaker 1: really a place. It's kind of unfixed. So it's both
- 1:20:22Speaker 1: very powerful and it also maybe opens the door to
- 1:20:26Speaker 1: like certain negative backdraft more more intensely than the quote
- 1:20:31Speaker 1: unquote real world. Just one way to think about it.
- 1:20:35Speaker 3: No, I think that's the fuck with that.
- 1:20:38Speaker 2: Yeah, but uh yeah, that's why I thought. I didn't
- 1:20:41Speaker 2: think he kind of did it the same way. So
- 1:20:44Speaker 2: you know, again, thank you Alexander, because nobody's evercovered that
- 1:20:48Speaker 2: before the show.
- 1:20:49Speaker 3: So hey, man, I said, man, I'm glad glad to be.
- 1:20:52Speaker 2: Here, jin real quick before we let Alexander plug everything up.
- 1:20:56Speaker 2: Where can people find you?
- 1:20:59Speaker 1: People can find me on ex Twitter at wukongra Born

- 1:21:20Speaker 1: Alex and I do have an upcoming episode which is
- 1:21:22Speaker 1: really good, to be honest, and I.
- 1:21:24Speaker 3: Think that was I'm looking forward to that. Actually that was.
- 1:21:27Speaker 3: That episode helped me sharpen a lot of my personal
- 1:21:30Speaker 3: beliefs and I really appreciate you having me on for
- 1:21:32Speaker 3: that one.
- 1:21:33Speaker 1: Absolutely well. You know, all like discourses the fire of perception, right,
- 1:21:37Speaker 1: so all things sort of like the best ideas arise
- 1:21:41Speaker 1: from the ash of the you know, of the flames
- 1:21:44Speaker 1: of aggressive speech. So I think it was a really
- 1:21:47Speaker 1: great episode, and I appreciate that Alex came on, and
- 1:21:49Speaker 1: I appreciate that Nick of course had Alex on and
- 1:21:53Speaker 1: you know, just growing the circle, I guess, And thank
- 1:21:55Speaker 1: you Nick again for having me on. And I'm really
- 1:21:59Speaker 1: excited You've got so much lined up for us. And
- 1:22:01Speaker 1: I won't spoil it all, but yeah, call Rejects has

- 1:22:21Speaker 3: You can find you can find me on a practical
- 1:22:24Speaker 3: Occult dot com that that that's where all my stuff is.
- 1:22:27Speaker 3: You know, you want to I write articles there, I

- 1:22:33Speaker 3: et cetera. You can find me on Instagram at the
- 1:22:36Speaker 3: hex Doctor. That's where you see more of my just
- 1:22:38Speaker 3: goblin level internet dweller personality. And I'm gonna have a
- 1:22:42Speaker 3: substat coming soon where you're going to see the sort
- 1:22:45Speaker 3: of unholy maalcamation of my goblin dweller internet personality with
- 1:22:49Speaker 3: my deep cuts on magic. The substack is going to
- 1:22:52Speaker 3: be for like intermediate and up practitioners. It's not going
- 1:22:54Speaker 3: to really be for people who just want to look
- 1:22:56Speaker 3: at the one oh one that's on Practical a call.
- 1:22:58Speaker 3: You could find it there, but it's going to be
- 1:23:01Speaker 3: you know, more more of Another thing I will say
- 1:23:03Speaker 3: is it's going to be a lot of like me
- 1:23:05Speaker 3: talking about things I have done, because I think that
- 1:23:07Speaker 3: that's the thing we lack on the Internet now. People
- 1:23:10Speaker 3: are less willing to talk about their achievements rather than
- 1:23:16Speaker 3: or people are really willing to talk about like their
- 1:23:19Speaker 3: perspectives rather than their personal achievements. And obviously, you know,
- 1:23:21Speaker 3: in the age of you know this is going to
- 1:23:24Speaker 3: date me actually, but the whole picture, it didn't happen thing.
- 1:23:27Speaker 3: I kind of miss some of the old wild West Internet,
- 1:23:29Speaker 3: where you'd read ocultists talk about crazy shit they pulled off,
- 1:23:33Speaker 3: and it would inspire you to want to pull it off,
- 1:23:35Speaker 3: and you would go do it and then maybe you
- 1:23:37Speaker 3: get awesome results. Maybe you wouldn't. Oftentimes you would if
- 1:23:39Speaker 3: the person was genuine. But it's going to be a
- 1:23:42Speaker 3: lot of that. It's going to be hearkening back to
- 1:23:43Speaker 3: that because I think that I think that the Internet
- 1:23:45Speaker 3: is worse for not having that kind of maverick ship
- 1:23:47Speaker 3: on it more often.
- 1:23:50Speaker 2: Thank you very much for coming on, man, I really
- 1:23:52Speaker 2: really appreciate it.
- 1:23:53Speaker 3: Thank you guys, Thank you for having me seriously fucking.
