Good morning everyone,
New to the thread and new to the occult so to speak. While I’ve read a whole chunk of books and articles, some of them way ahead my learning curve, I’ve never had a constant practice in my life due to several factors I’d love to fix sometime soon. I’ve meditated but not enough, I’ve done the LBRP but not enough (yet I think I’ve reaped some of its “benefits” in strange ways).
Enough for my background. After a cruel breakup, and longing for breadcrumbs that shall not be summoned by exoteric means, I’m trying to get back to a person —not necessarily for romantic/sexual purposes again, because I don’t want to bend her will that much— but at least for some kind of closure and/or reconsideration. She was in a bad situation and I truly think I could give her support and help. And I love her deeply. So much for selfless purposes: I also cannot let go, and I know I must work with my ego, but I’m taking baby steps and so much for one day.
Now, to the point: I’ve never invoked. And I’m reading several threads about Agares and how he’s a kind spirit, with some misleading guides about offerings/lack thereof, about different methods and so on and so forth. I know there’s no univocal way, but at least I want to try my best and know what can I expect of this. Being a beginner, I don’t expect Agares to speak me in dreams and if it’s complete radio silence, it’s fine. Yet at the same time I’d like to think I’m going the right route somehow. I don’t know how do spirits manifest when petitioning, nor I know how to do it correctly besides setting a suitable context (heading eastwards, incense/candles, meditation, LIRP and lamen, [also learning about him and internally introducing my situation and asking as in common prayer. I’ve tried to do my homework [browsing several sites. I don’t expect immediate results, but it gives me some closure to know at least they might be doing the work, if that makes sense.
I’ve been consulting planetary hours, and it seems Friday is a good choice for Agares, also around 22 hours because of Venus, so I’m willing to make it right tomorrow, but I’d love some extra guidance, openly or otherwise.
Also, I know this is an unpopular thought, but I want it to work just in order to help further cement my trust in the occult realm, and to think I’m going the right way so I don’t feel my exploration is all moot.
Thanks a lot for your help and keeping this community alive.
