An occultist wrote that it suffices to avoid sexual activity the same day of a magical operation (except for sex magick, of course) while when the magician is about to work with angels itâs necessary also a preparatory time of chaste thoughts and words.
Have you tried doing some magick and found that you lacked energy, or focus, or self-respect? If you can give us some baseline idea of whatâs causing you problems, what it is you wish to do but cannot, that may be helpful.
I go by the rule of thumb that if someone thinks something (masturbation, drinking, gambling, internet use, anything) may be a problem, theyâre probably correct - very few people post asking whether they need to get a grip on their consumption of broccoli, or the amount of classic literature they read, itâs always these reward-centre things that can get out of hand (no pun intended) - and drain other power along the way.
There is a focused no-fap thread in case you want to read it, derailments will be removed (something I mention because the last one got a bit silly):
(People are free to have sex-magick posts and discuss ejaculation on sigils etc., or sex magick with any variety or quantity of consenting adult biological humans, without being preached at, this is for people choosing to ease away from masturbation they think may not be helpful.)
PS @TheGlitchedMan99 youâre not alone in getting addicted to something, nor are you flawed, I did a post about magicians and addiction here in case this is bothering you:
Thank you very much Eva, it happens that yes, I feel with low self-esteem, my head is in the air I canât concentrate, and something tells me that it could be excessive masturbation, I was also involved in the nofap movement before practicing magic (a month ago) but Iâve gotten out of focus from that path and sometimes I doubt if itâs bad or not, but reading is true, if I feel that itâs doing me wrong I should trust me and stop, take a break and look inside,
I am not alone I can see it in this beautiful forum, Thank you very much and Lucifer bless you
Than u everybody for the answers, there is a lot of help to me, thanks thanks thanks!!
This might help if you feel ungrounded, to recover some fiery masculine energy:
Also, if you have bad thoughts and images about yourself, try this exercise:
Try once a week, it will cause low self esteem if you release daily, but retaining your semen, your confidence will double and triple , im no expert but I believe the kundalini build up in the spine empowers your chakras specifically the confidence would come from the build up of energy empowering the solar plexus when you drain this you will have no discipline willpower or confidence , just know how futile it is just to spend 10-20 mins of pleasure to be depressed and low on energy for the next couple days
You are energy beings. Think of yourself as an energy bank. If you use your energy too much you will be in energy debt. Thatâs why energy practitioners store their energy from practices to use to heal or fight. They donât use their own life force energy. Itâs all about management. Just like your finance. you manage that to not get in debt. Like any addiction. when it affects your life. itâs bad. Everything in moderation.
If your going to masterbate. Do it in front of your partner for their entertainment. =o) So that your sacrifice of your life force is shared with another. hahaha.
Ya I think people have made the point I wanted to: masturbation isnt bad spiritually per se, and can even be used to good effect. But if you do it too much it will drain you. You have to learn and feel (no pun intended) for yourself whether it is draining you of energy.
King Koetting actually addressed this question in a Live Stream a couple weeks ago. It was titled Baal something something⌠Great story Mina.
Thank you.
Edit: Pushing yourself close to climax without release is called edging. It wouldnt be too much of a stretch to assume that edging is just gonna put you on edge.
Iâm aware of it. He didnât say that you needed to retain semen/avoid masturbation in order for your magick to be effective. Iâve asked him the same question in the past, and he seems to view it as a non - issue as i do. Im sure for some people it can be an issue, just as being addicted to anything can become an issueâŚbut id hardly call it a hard and fast rule that must be strictly adhered to in order for your magick to work. I masturbate regularly, and so far my magick has worked just fine
This thread amuses me, heâs afraid of power loss from masturbating once a day. I have to masturbate 2+ times a day just to keep my libido under control lol.
Also, you wonât âlose energyâ from masturbating if you donât let your energies out during orgasm.
How do you accomplish that , orgasm without release or pushing the energy somewhere?
Meditate, learn to feel and control your own energies and how they flow. Gain mental mastery of your internal presence.
Alternately, just open yourself up to the energies of the world around you, and any lost energies will immediately be replaced as the difference in concentrations reach for equilibrium.
taoist sexual meditation training. =o) discipline is key. control of thoughts and energy manipulation.
chi kung training and tai chi helps. They arenât quick methods. Take actual time and effort to learn.
So next time someone signs up asking for help quitting the drink, or any other habit, we just tell them that even though we donât know them or anything about why theyâre asking, theyâre good to keep on boozing it up, because a lot of magicians enjoy a drink?
I guess next time someone signs up looking for help with domestic abuse, we tell them other magicians arenât getting beaten by their significant other, so just try and ride it out?
Okay, glad weâre all clear on that. The new uniformity arises!
Wouldnât want to have any complexities like âPeople are individuals and whatâs good for one isnât necessarily useful to anotherâ creep in!
This is true my man, Thanks!!
Having an organism more than every 4th day (meaning 3 days no orgasm) is detrimental to magickal practice. Most research I have done (via grimoire , journals, personal practice) leads me to believe that your prana, energy, chi, etc is highest after 3 days of no orgasm. Most path workings even teach to stay celibate for 3 days before ritual manifestation due to this and orgasm during ritual manifestation. This is because that should be the most life you can push into your spell or ritual.
Dude thatâs awesome info! Thanks for sharing that!
