You will soon discover that the demons of the infernal realms are the gods of old many of them even keeping their original names. Gods that christians couldn’t get the people to stop worshiping were either demonized or sainted for example Adramelech a demon is a Phoenician sun good and Brigit a Celtic fire goddess became saint Brigit. Every religion is based on an older one and one man’s god is a nother man’s devil. Cheers!

Greetings. I’m Seraphina. I practice a ‘potpourri’ of sorts when it comes to magick-I’m knowledgeable about quite a few spiritual paths and I do my work according to what feels right for me (while always making sure I pay the proper respects and give the proper offerings when necessary).
I just stumbled across this site tonight, and after lurking for a bit (haha), I realized that this might just be the community I’ve been searching for. It can be hard to have conversations with (and/or get input from) many people who primarily identify with one spiritual path alone. And it feels like if I mention anything that even remotely suggests “black magic” (sidenote: I really hate that term, but I’m using it here for clarity and conciseness), I’m shut out. Which is incredibly frustrating. 
So, long story short… I look forward to being a part of this online community. I feel like I may have just found a ‘place to call home’.

Hi,
I’m dollarvaluemenu. I am a newbie, but I have always believed that magick was real so to speak. What I have learned is that you can read about it all you want, but once you have that “holy shit, this works” moment, it changes everything. Even being a complete newbie, I have had success with a couple of spirits, which I will start a different post about. Love the forum and website and I hope to learn a lot.

Salutations. My name is Alicia Franco and have been interested in Mr Koettings BALG systems of pathworking. I am struggling spiritually being raised Christian but consider myself Spiritual. I have respect and admiration for BALG and would like to enlist in a one on one boot camp session to see if I have potential. Unfortunately I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease back in 2012 and still fighting for benifits six years later. When I have income I hope to make an appointment.

Mercury Dolius is the only spirit I know of to directly assist with welfare payments and other social safety net-type things, including private insurance:
You could also try asking Belial for help, if you feel up to beginning with a demonic King:

Hello all my name is Bonnie and I have ended up here probably backwards compared to some of you. First of all I am what some people refer to as “psychic” and medium and I honestly loathe the word psychic I just feel I’ve always been more open to everything and and everyone around me however along the way I have learned how draining it could be. I have worked along with several paranormal groups but one YouTube Paranormal show in particular has ended up with me being here… Long story short I had a few entities from The Lesser Keys notice me and obviously sage, whiskey, and the 3 sisters wasn’t going to do the trick so I asked for help from a good friend that is a 3rd degree Witch/ Norse Shaman to help me do something about the things that decided to follow me home. I was used to noncorporal human energy… I do readings on photography buildings land etc, my divination tools are tarot and Oracle cards, scrying with smoke and black mirrors (I would like to try water scrying soon), spirit boards, and pendulums. However I also have been directed that I need to be learning and using runes in my work. So um very short version. Anyways thank you

hello timothy, i am Guna, this is a paper i wrote on meditation.
Meditation Zero State & Past Lives By G
Our present Identity as we know it to be i.e.; Joe Smith, Jane Brown or whatever your name is, has been developed by social parental, and environmental conditioning. If you can strip away all the conditioning you have been exposed to since birth you would be a nonentity. We are presently immersed in and governed by this one identity. The present identity does not allow you to see beyond the boundaries it has set for itself in fear of its validity being compromised. You know yourself to be Joe Smith the son of Mr. and Mrs. Smith and you cannot perceive yourself to be anybody other than Joe Smith. It is absolutely true that you are Joe Smith. But in actual fact Joe Smith is only a fragment of a Fragment of who you really are.
Meditation can be used to go beyond your present identity and discover some of the other identities you have been.
As you begin to meditate on a regular basis the first major breakthrough you experience is when the continuous stream of thoughts finally seize. This may take several life times of disciplined practice or a few years or months depending on your state of being. When the continuous stream of thoughts finally seize you reach a state of total tranquility. As you progress further you will be able to prolong this state for longer periods of time. As you develop further you will be in a position to stop the stream of thoughts at will like switching off a light. As you develop further you will reach a state of total emptiness, in this emptiness the breath will be so subtle that you will barely feel that you are breathing. You will not feel that you are within the confines of a physical body. As you go deeper in to the emptiness you will begin to feel a buildup of energy in the center of your brain this energy buildup increases as you go deeper in to the experience. The energy keeps building up to a point that you may feel as if your brain is about to explode in to a zillion pieces. This is not a physically uncomfortable feeling it is a very liberating feeling. It is the gradual destruction of the conditioned mental boundaries.
As you continue to remain in this state you will feel the building up of energy as the rise and fall of a wave in the ocean i.e.; The energy builds up to a certain level as it rises the intensity of the experience increases it gradually drops and the cycle begins again. As the cycle repeats itself the intensity of the experience increases. This state I believe is the key to transcending your present identity.
I define this state to be the zero state. In this state you are effectively a nonentity or pure consciousness free from any form of conditioning. You have transcended all the identities you have been for thousands of years. As you continue to be in this timeless state for longer periods you will begin to access past identities. As you access the other identities you will witness them through your present perspective. You will experience the other identity in what ever time and place as here and now. You will have a glimpse of another life with the presence of your present identity. It is a totally engaging experience with the presence of all your senses. You will be able to compare your present state of being or your level of development to the state of being of the identity you have accessed. As Eckhart Tolle very poignantly puts it in his book the power of now “All humans are possessed we identify with the possession to be us hence we never question the possession” He is clearly referring to being possessed by our identity.
Analysis:
The zero state suspends the present identity by stopping the thought process. All your thoughts are being generated by your present identity. Thoughts of the past present and future sustains your identity and keeps you locked in within its boundaries. Your thoughts are the source of energy that sustains and maintains the present identity.

Welcome to the forum! There’s a lot of great information available on this site, and you might find these links useful to begin with:
✦ the Member Resources thread, which has a ton of links to newsletter tutorials on things like opening sigils, attaining Theta-Gamma Synch (TGS), and also practical advice on using the forum, posting images and YouTube videos, etc.;
✦ over 4 years’ worth of good topics in the archives, which can be found using the Search function;
If you don’t know anything about magick whatsoever (which is absolutely fine! We were all there once) then we can help you best if you focus on the goal/s you hope to achieve from learning magick - scattershot replies may not get you closer to your goal!
By all means research these using the Search function, and of course, normal search engines, but it helps members here to help you, if you try to keep things a bit focused and specific.
Magick is about results, and staying focused on those might save you time and feeling overwhelmed, especially when it comes to the different methods used to contact spirits or build personal power.
But first, please take a minute to reply here with an introduction.
It can include:
✦ Your name, or why you chose you magickal/forum name
✦ Photos if you’re comfortable - NOT mandatory!
✦ Kinds of magick you like
✦ Current goals
✦ Current struggles
It’s one of the forum’s rules, but you probably didn’t see it!

Great Day to All!
My name is Tero. Called TT, or The FINN. Finn because I was born in Finland. Family moved to Canada in 1974, I was just turning 5. Traumatic experience. Psychics still tell me I’m affected. Never got over it. Anyways, I’m 48yrs old now, my wife left me in 2012 (was living back in Finland 10yrs at the time), I am back in Canada again alone. We made 5 kids together and they live in Finland with mother. I can barely deal with living. I had 2 suicide ‘was gonna do it’ moments. I’m starting to feel like that again. I’m a very kind hearted, loving person and people take advantage of me all the time. I’m negative. I feel like I don’t belong on this earth. Been on depression pills for 20yrs. They don’t work well. I am ALWAYS BROKE. Even now, I have ZERO$. I have had magick done for me at least 4 times this year and not a single change has happen in my life. I want to believe that it works but…? Now I’m at a zero point again. Rock bottom. Everything I do— FAIL. I’m so tired. Juss wanna sleeeeeeeeeeep away. Wow. What an introduction. I need serious help. Holy fuck.

Magick can be innately destabilising, because it messes with people’s sense of reality, so I’m loathe to say “yay throw yourself into magick it will help more” - it may just raise your hopes, then dash them again.
If you will observe posted above, and seek professional medical help if you feel you may want to harm yourself because your safety comes above all other distractions and endeavours, we can show you some methods of doing magick, that may improve your situation.
But it would be irresponsible to throw you in at the deep end if you’re having trouble coping with everyday life right now, and I say that as someone who’s been in suidical despair myself.

Hello everyone. My name is Brent. It may sound unconventional, but my goals are very simple. I desire the power to protect my family, or rather what is left of it. They are the most important thing to me in the world. I won’t go into detail, however we have seen enough horror, loss and pain to last us a lifetime. No longer. I don’t view my journey as an ascent to Godhood, although I do not disparage any that do. To each their own. I simply want to make the world around me a slightly better place for those I love and myself. Maybe protect those who cannot protect themselves from time to time. Outside of violating someone’s civil liberties however, I don’t care what people do or try to make people think like me. A world where everyone fits into a mold is not a world I want to live in. Be yourself, believe in yourself, and try to make the observable universe around you a little less chaotic for yourself and those you love or care for. Peace and liberty to all.
