Hi all.
I was thinking about the element grades of RHP systems, and then thought of the elementals. I’ve tried summoning the elemental leaders (actually several times with Ghob and Paralda) without success.
Is there a particular reason why they’ve never showed themselves?
I think you said you were on anti-psychotic medication, and I’ve seen a coupe of people on here say that can limit psychic impressions.
You said you did this before [Nightside is your own older account if you recall] - what has changed? So it’s not the case that they NEVER showed?
Sebastian recently evoked Paralda and saw a sylph. If you search of the name Paralda it will come right up.
For Ghob, I don’t find as much for evoking him, but I linked to a blog a while back from someone off forum who did: How to evoke Ghob or summoning of Ghob - #2 by Mulberry
So it’s possible, and you’ve already done it… so this may not be about the spirits as much as something more personal that’s a new problem.
You have been through a lot, and maybe new blocks ave arisen, or the new location isn’t good for spirits?
Sorry, my mind has been through a lot.
I faintly recall the night I tried evoking Ghob.
I will check out the links.
Strange stuff occurs. The anti psychotic medicine I receive (according to nih.gov) has a side effect of tampering with the section of the brain that processes what we see but shouldn’t. It clamps down on visual hallucinations.
Yes. I recall the impression that I saw and spoke with him. It could have been imagined, but I always looked for clues through incense smoke. Those rarely lie.
Marijuana induced sighting of leprechauns … I do also recall seeing dwarves walking into a forest across the river my apartment overlooked.
I should say rarely will any of us find out our scrying, evocation or other ways of seeing spirits will be witnessed by second and third parties.
Yeah, this nursing home has got to be 75% of the population here over on average 70-80 yo people. A place to stash per families the slowly dying relatives.
Hence a lot of parasites and demons, but spirits and angels as well according to an older lady who works here. We were talking about opening the third eye and she mentioned who she’s seen here. Quite trippy.
The “seeing leprechauns” was actually a slight joke, but did smoke some really really good weed, while not on mental health medications for the schizophrenia, and did see something small and human like that disappeared through bushes.
The joke was an African American friend named Will that helped me find some sour diesel weed, and told me “when we’re done smoking we’ll start seeing leprechauns”.
My sister really does not let me burn candles, have essential oils, or burn incense. Nor does this nursing home.
So I’m trapped in parasite heaven and barely allowed to do a LIRP, LBRP, GIRH, or MPR.
You can do all of that in your head.
Cool, will do it in my head and recite elemental prayers. I have the one for Gnomes in my Ritual Diary. Will add the one for Sylphs.
On a more positive note, I’ve started dreaming a bit or woke up with recall on dreams since doing the LIRP for Air and the Luna invoking GRH.
Have you created an astral temple yet? You can do all your rituals in there.
I started on it. It’s probably a space garden at the moment. Thank you for the reminder on it. Christopher’s book has the novices enter into a Cube of Space, where every side is five Jerusalem Crosses.
It can be enough just to visualize yourself in a field or on a mountain top to do your rituals until your inner temple is done.
Cool, thank you!
I’m not schizophrenic and I’ve never had any kind of psychosis.
I have some comments on my experience of being rx anti psychotics at age 15 resulting in severe sleep paralysis in which I would be swamped with demons, entities and HP Lovecraft style tentacles ON THE QUETIAPINE.
The higher the dose I would take the more “bizarre/anomalous experiences” I would endure.
This was long before I started formal magickal practice so I used to be inundated with a spiritual ambience and a dark energy that permeated every aspect of my life. I want to emphasise my diagnosis was not final, thus the treatment they had me on was not appropriate for my CPTSD, adhd and autism so there is a chance that these medications were causing me to see or hear things as an adverse effect.
It got so bad I would hear a demonic figure calling my name out before I would be stuck in these sleep paralysis episodes for the entire night, often terrified. Sometimes I would see aliens standing in the room. I have never in my life experienced the same anomalous spiritual experiences as I did on a recreational or psychedelic drug as I did on seroquel (atypical antipsychotic).
Towards the end of my time on the medication just before I was diagnosed with complex PTSD & ADHD, a blue entity presented itself with the most majestic and wonderful appearance.
I knew somehow this was St Michael the Archangel despite never having looked into anything regarding angels or saints.
He used a blue (I can’t explain it outside of this luminous blue, shrouded by gold) to cut off this etheric tie to all the “darkness”.
That was the end of my sleep paralysis. I subsequently met my trauma informed psychiatrist a few weeks later who helped me taper off the anti psychotics and she correctly diagnosed me as having CPTSD & ADHD. Now every time something “negative” happens on the astral, I am able to call on St Michael or perform an astral LBRP, and MPR (or any of my other spiritual guides from various traditions).
I can also recite prayers to these entities in my dream. I have Native American ancestry, and sometimes a big protective spirit from the Iroquois nation shows up in my dreams to warn me the entities, or a spiritual attack. I have made contact with this force through continual ancestral work and veneration.
I want to about being in a restricted environment:
But I used to be heavily dissociative from childhood trauma that resulted in severe complex PTSD.
I’ve been in about 14 different inpatient stays in private mental health clinics for the treatment of my trauma, the longest being a few months.
After I started my ceremonial magick journey I was inpatient for a month, and I used to do my LBRP and MPR in the shower. I’ve had probably 10 more mental health treatments in private clinics since this time, and every single time I make it a priority to do magick daily. LBRP & MPR is a must. I have modified adaptation of the LIRH & LBRH I adjust to these times.
I used to have 1hr intervals between when the staff would check for me to perform all my magick rituals daily. I also optimised 2 x a day showers in my private bathroom to perform my rituals as the sound of the incantation for chanting can be done under the breath, and is covered up from the sound of the water flowing.
The results are the most interesting part. Mental health clinics are rife with this sort of thing.
If I can’t do the ritual in the bathroom/shower that day. I will often ask for leave for 60 minutes and find any secluded location to perform my ritual. I treat it as an imperative part of my recovery and for the essential protection I need while being in these clinics as there is very dense energy. I know I’ve stayed in the same room 2 prior patients had suicided and I had a vision of it, before it being confirmed by the staff there. The maintenance of my daily magick rituals protected me from the energy of those two suicides.
Not sure if this helps you but even in a confined or segregated location you can find a private space to do these rituals. If you can’t use the shower/bathroom, you surely get time before bed or upon waking that is private. If not, ask for leave. You have a right in my country to practice your “religious” or spiritual practice without interference and discrimination.
This crosses over to institutions like mental health facilities and psych hospitals and rehabs. I believe this should also be the case inside a nursing home (which is where you say you are?) so there should be a clarification for you to engage in at least 30 minutes of your “religious or spiritual” practice no matter where you are without discrimination. Most countries are bound by the UN treaty of human rights and I believe this is a convent of that, so no matter where you are in the world, you can probably cite this to your advantage in order to be able to continue your magickal work, without having to state its magick. It’s just your belief, and religion. And people have the ability to partake in this provided it doesn’t cause harm to others or themselves.
Good luck; I hope you can find your spiritual routine.
Thanks for the feedback and advice all.
