From Anubis: A Spell to Help Ghosts Cross Over

This spell was given to me by Anubis several years ago when a ghost was living in my house. The person wanted to move on but was stuck because a living person refused to let him go.

First, make a clay model of a dead person in a coffin. Next, go to a body of water such as the ocean or a lake.

Say loudly with confidence and authority, “I am Anubis! I am the gatekeeper! I send [name] to the other side!”

Place the clay model into the water with the intention that the person will dissolve to the other side like the clay dissolves into water.

***

Proclaiming yourself to be Anubis will seem blasphemous to Westerners, but this was a practice in Ancient Egypt. Egyptians believed that you could “borrow” the power of a divine being by proclaiming to be them. There is a healing spell that involves the magician proclaiming to be Isis/Aset and the sick person to be her son, Horus.

I was reading a post on social media that said, “deliberate ignorance isn’t a modern phenomenon. The Greek philosophers wrote about it and called it amathia.”

I looked up the word amathia. Suddenly Djehuty, aka Thoth, was hovering over me. “Oooh, Greek philosophy! I love the Greek philosophers! Star-seeker, you should download their books on your Kindle! You can get them for free!”

I don’t even know which one to download first.

Terebellum tells me about eating people

Long ago I learned about an Egyptian god named Shezmu. Shezmu is the god of the wine press, the seed oil press, perfumes, and blood. From Wikipedia:

It is thought possible that the ancient Egyptians used red wine to symbolize blood in religious offerings, explaining why Shezmu is associated with both blood and wine.

Shezmu - Wikipedia

In the myths, Shezmu has a wine press in the underworld (Duat). He shoves the heads of the damned into his wine press and crushes them like grapes, producing blood wine.

I asked the Arrows if the blood wine is real. They said yes.

There are various texts mentioning Arrows killing, butchering, and eating the damned as if they are cattle. When I asked if that was true, I got another yes from Terebellum.

In Egyptian mythology, having your soul devoured means that you cease to exist completely. There is no reincarnation and no second chance. Terebellum told me that he knows many modern witches and mages consider this to be “evil,” but he considers it an act of justice. The person or entity will never harm anyone ever again.

I once saw a group of witches online saying that this doesn’t happen because it’s “evil” and they believe the person just gets reincarnated again and again “until they get it right.”

Terebellum said, “Let the wicked go without punishment? Where is the justice in that?”

I personally find those witches’ viewpoint as…naive. I know it is comforting to think that all the bad people will be good if given the chance, but I know from experience that some people can be reformed, but others will never “be good.” They’re awful, they know it, and they like it. I have someone like this in my family. Also, consider cases of violent criminals such as murderers or rapists who are released from jail after serving their sentences, only to kill or rape again.

A text called the Book of Caverns describes the condemned being executed. Here are images from it of demons punishing assholes.

You can read about the Book of Caverns here: Book of Caverns | PDF | Ancient Near East Mythology | Ancient Mediterranean Religions

The paper mentions a cat demon named Miuti, who is “the cat-formed one, from whose clutches there is no escape.” She sounds cute.

My spiritual fathers, Set and Khnum

The ancient Egyptian religion, like many Asian religions, operates on the principle of balance. For example, often you will see pairs of deities who are Male God of X and Female God of X, or pairs who represent two opposing powers. An example is Horus, the god of light and order, and Set, the god of chaos and darkness. Modern people interpret Horus as “good” and equate him with Jesus. They view Set as “evil” and call him “the Egyptian Satan.” This is the simplistic, black and white thinking taught in Christianity. The Egyptians saw them as two forces necessary for the universe; one was not “bad” and the other “good.”

We can’t have a world of all light, or the sun would burn everything to death. If we were in eternal darkness, we’d freeze and die.

A world of complete chaos would look the Purge movies every day. A world of complete order would be like Camazotz from A Wrinkle in Time. Both are absolute nightmares.

The Pharoah was required to honor both of these gods.

Set and Khnum weren’t honored as an opposing pair in Egypt, as far as I know, but they are opposites. Set, god of destruction, sterility, and the dry desert. Khnum, god of creation, fertility, and the Nile.

Arcturus, the star that is me

I don’t like talking about me, but this may be useful for mages.

Fixed Star Arcturus, or Alpha Boötis

Name Meaning: Guardian of the Bear or Guardian of the North

Current Position: 24 degrees Libra

Planetary Nature: Jupiter-Mars

Tarot Card: The Hermit

Stone: Jasper

Plant: Plantago sp.

Traditional Associations: Protector of the Defenseless, Protector of Heaven, marital bliss, Lord of Horses, Keeper of Secrets, music and the arts, science, antiquities, literature, psychic power, diseases of the kidneys, death by suffocation.

From an anonymous Italian text written in 379 AD:

A splendid and illustrious life; glorious, mighty and commanding nature; fame, busy with many activities, bountiful resources, well known or feared in cities and regions. Prosperity from youth and in own city. Illustrious generals, who subjugate regions and cities and peoples, govern, are inclined to act, are submissive, speak frankly, have a taste for fighting, and carry out their purposes. They are effective, virile, victorious, harm their enemies, are opulent and perhaps very rich, big-minded and ambitious, and they generally do not die a happy death; moreover, lovers of hunting, connoisseurs and owners of horses and quadrupeds.

In ancient Egypt, this star was called Bau, or the coming one. Arcturus is part of an Egyptian constellation called The Mooring Post. The Mooring post was beside the Big Dipper, or as the Egyptians called it, Set’s Foreleg. Set’s Foreleg was seen as dangerous and powerful and thus was chained to the Mooring Post by the hippo goddess Tawaret. So, both in Greece and Egypt, Arcturus was seen as a star that offered protection against that scary Big Dipper.

It is interesting that there was a covid variant called Arcturus, as Arcturus causes death by suffocation.

Asmodeus likes hippies

A friend of mine inherited a farm and intends to turn it into a spiritual healing center. To celebrate, she held a drum circle at her farm. A hippie healing center is a very bold move in the Bible Belt. She knows and feels such a thing is needed here. After the drumming ended, I walked toward my car, taking a brief moment to find the Arcturus star. Under the stars, I can feel the Arrows more.

I felt Procyon come. He agreed that my friend’s healing center is needed. “This is a place of great darkness, ruled by ignorance, hatred, and violence. The healing center will be a great beacon of light.

You may not feel that the drum circles you attend are doing anything. How can banging on drums bring unity, peace, and healing? But the magic is working. Keep at it.”

Then I realized Asmodeus was there. He liked the idea of the healing center. “These people (at the drumming) are just like you. They were traumatized as children by the followers of the Demiurge, rejected his ways, and want to help others. They do my work—fighting the Demiurge! This whole area is under his thumb! There is a lot of work to do here!”

I remembered that when I drove to the center, I passed multiple hateful religious signs.

A lot of work indeed.

An Ill Wind Blows

The annual Sahara dust cloud is in the news. NOAA’s Satellites Track Saharan Dust Blowing Across the Atlantic | NESDIS | National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service

During the height of the covid pandemic, the Arrows told me they had hitched a ride on the Sahara dust cloud to spread covid in the Americas. Later through research, I learned that Egyptians believed that Arrows’ power was wind-driven. They spread disease through air currents and cause “ill winds.” Allegedly they can infect you with disease by blowing in your ear. I don’t why it’s the ear.

August 1st is the ancient Egyptian new year, which begins with the heliacal rising of the star Sirius, which was identified as the goddess Isis/Aset. Due to the procession of the equinoxes, Sirius rose a month earlier in ancient times.

The five days preceding the New Year were known as the “Demon Days.” These five days were considered to be a time outside of time, when the impossible could become possible. The Demon Days happened before the start of malaria season, so it was believed that the Arrows were at the height of their power and the gods were making a list of who would die that year. The Egyptians would make offerings to Sekhmet and beg her not to kill them with her plague-demons.

Rasalhague A: You’re going to…embroider me?

Me: Yep. I found a free coloring page of your fictional self on the internet. https://mondaymandala.com/wp-content/uploads/Detailed-Black-Doom-Coloring-In.pdf

It’s easy to turn line art or coloring pages into embroidery patterns. Simply print the page and use a light box to trace the image on fabric. There are a few other images on that site I want to turn into embroidery, such of an image of a girl meditating with crystals.

I’m currently working on a cute pink bat embroidery piece that I ordered from Amazon. The pink bat has hearts on it and is surrounded by pink flowers. I plan to fill my apartment walls with embroideries and cross stitch art, mwa ha ha.

Princeps, the King of Thieves

According to Egyptian thinking, if there is a female Arrow demon of theft (Sheliak) then there should be a male demon of theft for “balance.” I briefly met the King of Thieves, fixed star Princeps. Abaset, goddess of hedgehogs, was gushing to me about her hedgehog demon children. They are all so cute, she said. She briefly mentioned Princeps. I saw a flash of a man with long black hair and emerald green eyes. Then there was another flash of him as a hedgehog.

Fixed Star Princeps, aka Delta Boötis

Name meaning: Prince

Alternate Name: Thiba, meaning hyena

Current Position: 3 degrees Scorpio

Planetary Nature: Either Mercury+Saturn or the Sun, depending on which source you use

Tarot Card: The Hermit

Traditional Associations: Rural pursuits, occult studies, “high preferment in sports, religious matters, science, legal and government affairs,” hypersexuality or asexuality, skill in research, cowardice.

***

In my brief encounter with Princeps, he gave me the impression of an aristocratic and intellectual individual. The star lore doesn’t say anything about Princeps being associated with theft, but one of its planetary rulers is Mercury, which rules thieves, con artists, and scammers.

The stars of Boötis are associated with protection, so it does not surprise me that the Egyptian Princeps is a hedgehog, an animal that symbolized protection in Egypt.

I finished my pink bat embroidery project for Sheliak. She likes it and it’s hanging above the couch now. It looks great if you don’t examine the stitches closely.

My next craft project is a cross stitch pattern of a horse-drawn hearse, which will be a gift for Terebellum the mortician demon.

I took a nap yesterday afternoon and spirit activity woke me up. My bedroom was filled with intense energies of absolute te/rror. I heard an entity scream, “You can’t make me leave!” It was a parasite.

Then I saw Sheliak, standing calmly with a smirk on her face. She made cutting remarks to the entity, basically telling it how weak and pathetic it was. Sheliak has a sharp tongue and is the type of person who can devastate someone with a look or a few choice words. She says exactly what she thinks and takes no shit.

The entity continued panicking and then was gone.

Thank you, Sheliak.

I didn’t write everything that happened when I went to the grand opening of the spiritual healing center. Before I went, something was telling me to invite a certain friend of mine, who I will call Janice. Janice is an energy healer who was taught her craft by aliens. The first time she told me this, I didn’t believe that she channels aliens who taught her the healing arts. She randomly asked if she could do a healing on me. Her healing worked, so then I believed her.

The something told me that the people who attended this party needed Janice’s healing services, so I must invite her.

So I did. She came, introduced herself as a spiritual healer, and several people expressed interest in her services.

Janice said to me, “How strange, I feel like I’ve been led here.”

Then I realized that the something was Asmodeus. “Lots of people need to be healed of the religious trauma they endured!” he said. He means, for example, people who were brainwashed by Christianity to hate themselves for being gay.

I didn’t tell Janice that the being that led her there was a demon king because I don’t know how she’d take that. She is a “love and light” type.

A lot has happened in the last two days with Lord Belial. I have said before that I have problems with a wendigo. My “mother” is one. A wendigo split off a piece of its soul and sent it to incarnate because it wanted to spread its evil here. It’s also extremely delusional and narcissistic. It thought that once it arrived in this world, the humans would immediately recognize it as superior and make it their god. It seriously believed that all of humanity would stop what they were doing upon its arrival and kneel to it. All. of. the. humans. Then the humans would excitedly offer themselves and their babies for it to eat. “Eat me!” they’d all scream, flinging themselves at it.

Why babies? Because “their meat is the most tender.”

Its fantasy is the most delusional shit I’ve ever heard. At first, I thought it was fucking with me and didn’t actually believe that shit. Then I realized that it does. What. the. fucking. fuck.

I don’t know how aware its physical incarnation, my “mother,” is of what she really is or her “mission,” but she has Narcissistic Personality Disorder. The gods told me that NPD is a form of “wendigo sickness.” I don’t know if that’s true of every case, but many of the symptoms overlap such as:

*Both never let go of their victims. You can cut the narcissist out of your life, and twenty years later, they’re still obsessing over you and stewing in hatred against you.

*Insatiable greed. Narcissism is insatiable greed for “narcissistic supply.” Nothing will ever be enough for them.

*Wendigo literally devour their victims; narcissists do it in a metaphorical sense, leaving their victims an empty husk.

My “mother” is extremely entitled. She believes she should be a celebrity for no reason. Everyone should admire her, hand her whatever she wants (money, fancy clothes, etc.), and basically worship the ground she walks on. Why? Just because she’s better than everyone else, that’s why.

Both the human part of her and the discarnate part are giant balls of rage because humanity won’t bend to their delusional fantasies. Both want all humans to suffer and die and the world to burn as punishment for “defying” them. What I mean by “defying” is that humans just go about their day, living their lives, instead of dedicating everything they have (time, energy, money, etc.) to her.

God, it’s fucked up. I can’t even imagine being that entitled and delusional.

She includes me as enemy #1 in her “defiant people” list. Her discarnate form has been constantly cursing and attacking me all my life. I will try some sort of magic, like a binding spell, and it will work for a day or two and then the bitch is back. I have been destroying bits of her over the years. She is greatly weakened.

Part of the problem with her is that it’s not just her. Both the human and discarnate self are servants of Apophis, the Serpent Foe. She is its puppet. It protects her and tells her what to do with promises that she will get everything she wants if she continues to do its bidding. The snake has been stringing her along her whole life, delivering mere crumbs and promising, “soon, soon.” What an idiot. You’d think she’d realize, “Hey, I’m an old dying woman. I’ve been serving this thing my whole life. Where are my wealth and fame?”

So anyway, the serpent backing her is why she’s so hard to get rid of.

So…in comes Belial. He just appeared and destroyed what is left of her discarnate self, which is strongly attached to me and refuses to fucking leave.

“You are free now!” said Belial. “You can do as you please!”

For the first time in my life, I felt peace and calm. Words can’t express what it feels like to just relax. Before I had to use everything I had every day just to keep this bitch at bay and keep her from completely devouring me.

“That thing devoured your confidence and self-esteem! I will give it back to you!” says Belial. He gave me tips to a stronger, more assertive person.

I can’t thank Belial enough.

Hail King Belial!

All Hail Set, Lord of Chaos!

Today Belial told me that he didn’t finish off the wendigo by himself. It was joint effort between him and Set. I knew from my tarot readings that Set was planning something with one of the demon kings, and now I know what it is.

It wasn’t just Set and Belial, though they did deliver the final death blow. That thing had attached to me at birth, so it was deeply embedded and attached. I have been working for a long time to cleanse myself of it, and the arrow-demons have been killing off pieces of that thing. I could feel it getting weaker and smaller under my efforts, but something needed to give that final push.

It feels like there are tiny remnants or residue of it. I can still catch glimpses of it, but it is very weak and very faded. It can’t do anything to me anymore, though I can tell that it really wants to. I have been cleansing my home and myself to get rid of the residue, or whatever it is.

I hate that evil beings can attach themselves to human babies. I hate that they can target naive children. I have heard so many stories of parasites attaching themselves to kids who didn’t know better. I hate it, I hate it, I hate it.

How to write this today?

Rasalhague B, aka Shadow, has been working with me on overcoming trauma.

What happened today is that I now know the root of it all. The cause of disassociation and nightmares and intrusive thoughts.

I don’t exactly remember it, but I know.

It was like pieces of a puzzle that fell together.

An intense fear of men as far back as I can remember.

Churches make me feel physically ill when I enter them. I feel suffocated and nauseous. I want to flee.

A childhood nightmare featuring disturbing things.

Intrusive thoughts of sexual imagery entering my elementary school brain.

As an adult I had dismissed the memory of the thoughts with disgust, thinking I was just a gross and dirty child.

Shadow whispered, “But has it ever entered your mind how a first grader would know these things? Why would they be in your dreams? Why would you see these images in your mind?”

I am filled with horror. I never had thought of it before.

There is a sharp memory. My family is in church. An old man with white hair and a large belly looks at me and says, “What beautiful red hair you have. I love red hair.” I know from the way he looks at me what he wants. My parents know what he wants. I am filled with fear.

His hands brush across my back. He tells me that I had a wasp on me. I don’t believe there was a wasp. He follows me and my parents down the sidewalk.

This memory and every detail stands out vividly. I remember very little from first grade, but the one thing I remember is this moment, this man, and the intense fear.

Adult me dismisses the feeling of “knowing what he wanted.” I must be hysterical and crazy.

But…no.

It is not the Satanists and godless liberals who sell children. It’s the ones pointing fingers, doing it in the building with the cross.

No! It’s not true!

Shadow doesn’t want me to deny it.

A memory of a dream in third grade surfaces. A nightmare of a man. I wake and there is taste in my mouth. It’s not a real taste, but a memory of taste. I…have tasted it before. But where? The memory of the taste makes my third grade self gag and dry heave.

I am an adult now. I know.

I acknowledge it. Suddenly I feel that a giant weight has been lifted off my back. Peace and calm ensues. Then horror and tears, but they pass.

The Predator of Predators

A coworker of mine, who I will call Anna, is going through a divorce. The husband came home from work one day, shoved divorce papers in her face, and demanded that she sign them. He refused to tell her why or talk about it. After Anna pressed him, he simply screamed, “I HATE YOU!”

Anna and I suspect another woman.

The next few days, things escalated and this man became violent. He ripped security cameras off the wall, smashed through the front door, and threatened to kill her.

Anna doesn’t want to go to the cops. She doesn’t believe that they’ll do anything. She also insisted that she will be fine, and this guy will be out of her life soon and things will be over forever.

Does she really believe that, or is she trying to keep me from worrying?

I certainly don’t believe that.

I said a prayer to Bes, the dwarf god who protects children, to watch over her kids. I thought of calling Arrows to intervene. Who to call? Lesath, an Arrow of Sekhmet. She hates shitty men. Who else? Sheliak appeared. “Me!” she said. She was furious. “I will DESTROY him! I will make sure he never hurts another woman!”

Sheliak then said that she is “a predator of predators.”

Fixed Star Achernar, the Echidna King

Achernar, or Alpha Eridani. This is a binary star, and the larger star is the “official” Achernar. It has a small, faint companion star named Achernar B.

Fun fact: Achernar is the flattest star in the Milky Way. It looks squished. Here is an image of the star.

The name Achernar means “End of the River.” It is the star that forms the mouth of the river constellation Eridanus.

Eridanus is a very southern star. It was visible to the Egyptians in ancient times but now can’t be seen north of 33 degrees N, approximately the location of Dallas, TX.

The ancient Greeks assigned it as a Jupiter star, and in modern times it is said to have a bit of Mars-Uranus in it.

Its current position is 15 degrees of Pisces. It causes water-related accidents and death by drowning.

Achernar is associated with scientific brilliance, philosophy, and religion. It can bring success and high placement in the military. As this is a Jupiter star, it gives the native a strong sense of justice.

***

When I met Achernar, he appeared as a muscular man dressed as a pharaoh. He had dark brown skin, long curly black hair, and dark eyes. Sometimes he is an echidna, scuttling around in the Australian outback. I thought this was strange. He’s an Arrow, but his energy feels Australian and he’s an Australian animal.

Achernar told me that he is originally from the Australian spirit planes. He is a spirit race that I can only describe as echidna people. He said that very long ago, a malicious entity came to the Australian spirit worlds and forced the echidna people to worship it as a god and be its slaves. Resisters were executed. One of the resisters was his twin brother.

Achernar pretended to be a good little servant while secretly plotting the spirit’s demise. Against overwhelming odds, Achenar overthrew and killed the spirit mainly by force of sheer will. However, his victory came at a great cost—he lay dying on the battlefield.

The god Set had been watching the whole thing and was incredibly impressed. Achernar was just a small spirit; few beings of his size would have been able to defeat something as large as the evil spirit. Achernar was very brave and strong!

Set appeared to Achernar and healed him, saving him from death. He was so impressed by Achernar that he named him as his son, elevated him to divine status, and placed him in the sky as Achernar.

However, things weren’t over. The entity was gone, but the forces of the Serpent Foe were descending upon Achernar’s home world. If the echidna people wanted to survive, they needed to escape. They migrated to the Egyptian spirit world as war refugees.

Achernar is a brilliant scientist who works as an electronic engineer for the Egyptian pantheon. I often sense a great deal of sadness from him. The things he saw in his home world weigh heavily upon him, and he wants to free that world from the Serpent.

After doing research, I learned that the Australian Aborigines call this star Gawalyan, which means “echidna.”

It shocked me to learn this, as it verified that this entity was not simply a figment of my imagination.

Why does my life have to be this fucking weird?

“So, you want help learning music.”

I looked up. “Hi, Sonic the Hedgehog.” I sighed.

“I can help you.”

“Really.”

“Yes really. And my sister, too!” He gestured.

“Amy Rose?”

She nodded.

“God,” I said in exasperation.

Amy sighed. “I know you really don’t like the fictional version of me, and think I’m annoying and cringey and awful, but you should get to know the real me. That other me isn’t me at all. It’s a sexist stereotype. You know, obsessed with chasing a boy…who happens to be my brother! Ew!”

As she said, “real me,” she transformed into a tall, elegant human woman with long flowing hair. She was wearing a pink gown decorated with flowers. “I’m fixed star Alphecca.” She sat next to me on the bed. “My mother is Abaset, so, yes, I can be a hedgehog like her.”

Alphecca and “Sonic” asked what my goals were. I said that I eventually wanted to learn to play music by ear. You’ll need to learn a lot more music theory for that, they said. I went on Amazon and they recommended books.

“Sonic” brought up that I can play a bit of the keyboard, but I’d been wanting to learn guitar. I had tried on my own and given up because I couldn’t get it. Actually, I’d tried and given up multiple times. I want a teacher, but I can’t afford one.

“Sonic” said, bring that guitar of yours to the next drum circle at the spiritual healing center. There will be someone there who will help you get started.

Well, we’ll have to see.

Lady Alphecca, Arrow of Flowers and Friendship

Ugh, I’m tired, but here’s your other post, Alphecca.

Alphecca, or Alpha Coronae Borealis

Current Position: 12 degrees Scorpio

Planetary Nature: Venus-Mercury

Gem: Topaz

Plant: Rosemary

Alphecca is one of the 15 Behenian fixed stars, which means it has a Kabbala seal.

Traditional meanings: Love, beauty, friendship, flowers, poetry, art, music. Elegance and grace. A clever mind. Skill in writing and speech. Causes death by poison or infectious disease.

I noticed the lines “causes one to lie with boys and girls” in my astrology texts. I looked at Alphecca. I asked if she was bisexual. She put one hand on her hip and smirked.

My first impression of this spirit was that she has a cheerful, sunny disposition. She reminded me of a teenage girl in her speech and mannerisms. The other Arrows said that is because she is one; divine beings grow slowly and it will take a long time for her to become an adult.

She said she can teach the things she rules over. She would like people to burn floral-scented incense or candles when calling on her. She wants humans to remember that just because she is pink and girly and about things like flowers doesn’t mean that she is stupid or weak. Humans are prejudiced that way, you know. They think a girly-girl can’t be strong or clever, but she is an Arrow which means that she enjoys things like literally feasting on the flesh of her enemies. Also, she likes bashing in the skulls of her enemies with her warhammer. Her weapon of choice is a warhammer, not a cartoon hammer.

It’s interesting that her fictional avatar has the name “Amy Rose.” Amy means “friend” and rose is well, a flower. She is a spirit of flowers and friendship.

I’m tired of writing now. My head hurts.
