Experiences with Dra'talon v2.0

Black Magick & The Left Hand Path
41

i’d say keep everything in the circle. for me, the circle represents the creative point/centre of my universe so it’s important to my view of magic. in the example above, i wouldn’t necessarily use a triangle as manifestation isn’t the objective, so long as you can feel the presence of the spirit you’re calling. much of creative magic (in my experience) is to do with the actual act of creating. most of my creative magic success came about without any ritual at all.

if i may suggest… don’t bother with ritual until right at the end. just get a notepad and write out the details of the funeral piece by piece. include how you would like the building to look if you could design it, what people are wearing and why etc. make every detail psychologically and emotionally significant, keep revising the draft line by like over a week or whatever, and you’ll have the perfect blueprint for what you want to happen. revisions are really powerful in this type of magic. i found that my desires came about before i had even reached the final rendition of my notes, even without ritual.

hope this helps, and do let us know how it progresses for you, whichever option you choose:)

Funny you mention that about the revising of the details and plans over and over. I’ve had the results I wanted to manifest come along in the “planning phase” to often to be coincidence. The ritual I described was not for anyone in particular I was just trying my hand at creating a ritual with a dark mood utilizing affirmative thought.

43

lol, if it were coincidence, then that’s more effective than most of my rituals. although i only stumbled on creative magic recently, and quite by accident, i have a profound respect for however it seems to work as it passes through the human mind. i believe there’s also a significant amount of detachment associated with the process. basically, by revising etc, the insignificant and random, non-productive/contributing elements are slowly overwritten and only the useful stuff is left behind in condensed form (which is sort of alchemical). unlike ritual, where all desire needs to be exorcised in one extended burst of will, generally passive creativity distances oneself from the desire and all effort is put into the design of how that desire could/should manifest.

ultimately, the perfecting the design becomes more important than the end goal, and thus it becomes easier to “forget” about what you want. look at weddings, for example, all the energy is put into the arrangement of the ceremony, rather than the goal of the ceremony itself. in fact, the end-goal is not just consciously forgotten, but taken for granted entirely. if, for example, after elaborate planning a wedding ceremony had to be delayed by a few days, would the organisers be happy to “just get married anyway”, or to wait a reasonably short period of time to have the process unfold the way they planned? again, it just comes down to the end-goal being forgotten or dismissed as an inevitability, and allowing the design process to become the distraction.

of course, some would say “sure, why not just forget about it then, and go play tennis until it all comes about?” and yeah, in an ideal world that sort of mechanical magic would be okay, but by replacing desire for the goal with desire for the process (at least, a desire to make it “perfect”), the link is still established in the subconscious and allows this all to happen by belief in the notion that the more perfect the process, the more perfect the result.

at least, that’s as far as i’ve got with it all, but this mode fits with my observations. the more involved i get with the planning (even if it’s just revision upon revision of notes on scrap paper), the quicker and easier the desired result comes through. there has to be a genuine desire to perfect it, though. another example is designing a tattoo. you know you’re getting a tattoo, but you can’t get it without having designed it, first. now, i can’t draw worth a damn, so i write detailed-ass notes and let my artist handle it. although this isn’t exactly a magical result, the concept of taking the result for granted while focusing on the process still applies. similarly, if i make poor and imprecise notes, what kind of tattoo do you think my artist will come up with?

if i figure it out for real i’ll certainly post something on this, but for now, please consider it conjecture until/unless you can verify anything i’ve written.

kind regards, james.

Finally it seems that I have some results worth sharing although everything seems too good to be true but I don’t want to sabotage my own effort by having the slightest doubt about the ritual’s success…

Anyway, I started by planning the funeral ritual for my target, writing down every single detail I could think of no matter how insignificant it seemed to me at that moment. So I described everything from the weather conditions to how the candles would be arranged around the coffin. I was revising the text every night, sometimes adding more things until the night before the ritual I was smoking some opium and I felt the need to write down everything I had to go through because of my target and how it had affected my life from childhood until now. It was difficult to go on and I had to pull myself together and the only thing that kept me going was the thought that this man will go down because I want it. I was expecting that after finishing the account of his actions I would want to crawl in a dark corner and get as high on opium as I can so as not to think or remember anything. But that didn’t happen! When I finished I felt stronger and free. Yes, I felt free. I was no longer his victim nor the little girl who is afraid of him. He didn’t have any power over me and I even got a vision of giving command to invisible forces to feast on his flesh and soul.

The day after I conducted the ritual. I had a circle made of chalk and everything else I needed. I wanted to start by reading out loud the account of his actions but for some reason I couldn’t go on. I was no longer feeling empowered, I felt nauseous just by holding that piece of paper in my hands. Finally I decided that I had to continue and be the living god I want myself to be. So after reading it I read the text I had written about the funeral and then I called Dra’talon. However even before calling him I had the feeling that he was present in the room. I told him why I called him and when I closed my eyes I saw something standing in front of me. It was like a really tall shadow but it was darker than dark (if that makes any sense). I could see the darkness in my room (with my eyes still closed) but the shadow was even darker than that. The interesting thing here was that the shadow had eyes like holes and they were shining as if they were emitting their own light (it wasn’t the first time that I saw something like that but that time it felt different). I didn’t feel any threat by this presence though. I could see that the shadow was holding something but I couldn’t understand what it was. I think that I said something like “go ahead and do it” and then it was gone.
Unfortunately I was too exhausted to ask about why that date was chosen.

Last night I had a dream which I think is significant to the working. I was standing next to a tree outside of the church I had described for the funeral and the weather was like I had described. Then I noticed that there was a car and a man sitting in it. The man got out of the car, turned around to look at me and said “and so it begins”, he winked at me and then he smiled. He was wearing black clothes and had the kind of boots they wear in the army. Every step he took echoed around and he entered the church.

Just a few hours ago I got a phone call. My target attended a wedding today (I didn’t know about the wedding) at the church I had envisioned his funeral (it’s like the “fancy” church of the town). I was told that during the service he wasn’t feeling well and when the wedding ended he went to the hospital. The doctors found nothing wrong but he will have to go through some more examinations.
The person who called me wanted to tell me something else and before hanging up she was like “ah, you know what happened today?”.
When the phone call ended I went back to working since my break was over and I said to myself “and so it begins!”.

Hopefully it won’t take too long until he gets what he deserves…!

That is excellent! Thank you for sharing this. What is your next step. See how it plays out or continue the funeral ritual?

46

Thanks for sharing, I hope your target gets what’s coming to him. Please keep us posted.

47

Right now I don’t feel that I want to repeat any kind of ritual. I unleashed my emotions for the funeral ritual and in my mind he is already dead. So I think that I’ll wait for further results.

Fantastic account Nereid, thanks for sharing

So it seems that the date that was chosen for the working was totally random. It was my fault that I didn’t understand it the first time but the point of having a date set was to stay focused and direct all my energy towards my goal for that date. It was explained to me that it was actually a part of the preparation and by having my mind fixated on the date supposedly made me accumulate more energy.

Last night I was trying to have an OBE but I had to stop because I started feeling really weird. I fell asleep while I was visualizing the sigil of Dra’talon (I’m not even sure why I did that) and I dreamt of this man again in the black clothes. This time he was holding a small box in his hands and he said “you know what you should tell them? If you want to be good you should find your shadow self”. I asked to whom I should tell that to but he was gone.

I don’t know what the “shadow self” is supposed to be, I’m still trying to find out.

50

Nereid, I’m not sure if this helps but when I saw the “Shadow Self” mentioned it made me think about the Jungian shadow. It’s basically the part of ourselves we keep hidden from our ego for good or bad. The harder we hide it the blacker it grows. Perhaps Dra’talon is telling you to find a part of yourself your keeping hidden that is capable of pushing your will to the next level to achieve your goal.

51

The Jungian interpretation of the shadow was the first thing that crossed my mind but I thought that he was referring to something that is called “shadow self” in magickal workings. Maybe something like an occult terminology for something that I’m not aware of.
But now the more I think about it and after reading your comment some things start making sense.

52

i’d caution against putting too much faith in what people in your dreams are telling you. well, at least acting on their advice. i would agree with the above, though, that the shadow self is the jungian archetype.

this is symbolised by the Devil card of the tarot, but there’s a complication here. the two figures are bound willingly, and can leave at any time. however, in order to leave, they need to master their own “devils” etc. it’s more complicated than that but it’s part of the Fool’s journey. read up on the Devil in crowley’s Book of Thoth. the rider-waite interpretations are all too politically correct to be of any use.

glad to see my suggestion helped, though! i like to help:)

and i know what you mean about dratalon. to me, he appears in a very thick, black mist but i get the impression of a mouth full of large, metal teeth (think Baraka from Mortal Kombat, or google if you have no idea what i’m talking about). i don’t notive his eyes but i get the impression he’s about 7 ft tall, quite wide, and singular in his willingness to maim and murder. i have no problem with that but i wish he would speak a little more. it’s damned hard to figure out what the hell’s going on when you have a 7ft., razor-toothed assassin staring down at you, and you’re like “yo, got that dude? hello?.. hey, are we cool?.. hmm…” and at the end of the day you don’t know what the fuck he’s got planned O_o

I am trying not to get too influenced by the dreams I am having. Only recently I started having some real time contact with the entities I am calling (I mean during the evocation) and before that most interaction took place in the dream world. So I try to analyze every dream I have that seems important without getting too carried away by all that.

I googled for a picture of Baraka and his eyes are almost what I saw. Can I ask you if you’ve noticed any changes in your behaviour during or after the evocation of Dra’talon?

And of course I want to thank you for your suggestion, it definitely helped me a lot and I’ll use this plan of action again.

Until now I know that my target is having some health issues but still no one knows where it’s coming from, so I want to assume that what I did is working.
To be honest I enjoy learning that he’s suffering but I didn’t ask from anyone to tell me. I haven’t talked to that woman that I mentioned in a previous post who told me about the incident during the wedding for more than a year and she just appeared again out of nowhere to talk about him among other things (gossip, that I am not even interested in at all). And I think that this situation is not helping me very much so I am thinking that I should stop having any kind of contact with her even though this will mean that I will not have any more “updates” about my target until he dies.

well i don’t know if it’s his influence or some of the other daemons i’ve been working with, but i would say i’ve been experiencing very “martian” emotions of late.

on the one hand, there’s aggression and assertiveness which i was always very tactful in when and where i allowed it to surface, but which i have, of late, let run a little loose. more than that, i feel competitive and ambitious like i never did before, and not only willing, but capable of scheming and dominating in ways i never thought possible (this could also be a result of the lake of fire, as things are still happening as a result of that ritual.

it’s not that i go out and pick fights or anything, but i call people on their bullshit more often, i no longer accommodate hostile or domineering people (like many leos and aries), and i’ve started using my intellect as a weapon. i no longer defuse arguments, but i invite people such as a leo, just yesterday in fact, to argue, only to publicly destroy them in front of colleagues, their superiors at work/school etc. normally i wouldn’t be this vindictive but i’ve suddenly realised the enormous benefit of just getting people out of my way rather than playing their stupid games.

i’ve also been fixating/dreaming about the fourth pentacle of mars, but i don’t know why (and i didn’t know what it did until i looked it up). i’m working on a creative painting project where i’ll draw and paint all the planetary pentacles and a few other things in some nice, artsy way, you see. in any case, i’ve also started going to the gym in preparation for something called the “tough mudder” challenge. the more i work out, the more aggressive my mentality becomes, the more i dream about this pentacle (and a few others, but mainly this one) and the more i feel the need to paint these things. also, a portrait of amaymon, for some reason.

all these different tangents focus on the martial aspects, and as we all know, we become ever more like that which we evoke. i’m still thinking it’s the influence of the lake of fire ritual, but i’ve employed dratalon several times since then, so i can’t be sure (and i’m fucking awful at keeping a magical diary, even though i have one going LOL).

lemme know if you want any other info:)

Thank you for your answer James, it was very informative.

I’ve been experiencing that kind of “martian” emotions that you speak of after the funeral rite. I thought that it’s something that would subside as the days go by but until now it’s still the same. I like it, however the aggression during workouts and training is something that I find quite difficult to control.

May I also ask if after you evoked Dra’talon you could feel something like an energetic residue in your ritual space?

i always have that kind of residue. with dratalon, it seems more “smokey” while with other spirits (goetic kings for example), it seems more “electric” or “magnetic”. the BoA spirits seem to be more earthy or… well, not more tangible but i suppose more palpable, and that goes for the energies they leave behind, too. oh, and drataon brought on these incredible cold spots. way colder than a freezer. this was like touching ice. i’d say liquid nitrogen but it’s not that cold, or my skin would be freezing in en masse. the cold become more diffuse and less localised, but it still chilled a good quarter of the room for a few hours.

it’s important to distinguish that the martian (martial?) effects of dratalon aren’t likened to uncontrolled rage as much as they are a form of focused hostility. it’s not a mindless lashing out which defines it, but the conscious desire to oppress, suppress, smother and defeat anyone and anything, at any time and for no particular reason. most people would call it “assertiveness” but that’s a polite euphemism for velvet cruelty.

It is done, he is dead!!!

I must admit that it happened faster than I thought it would and judging from what I knew about him I thought that he would end up with a terminal illness or something like that.

A couple of days ago someone broke into his house and took everything. Today he was found dead, he shot himself with his gun. They said that after the burglary he was devastated and that lately he’s been acting “weird” and always complaining about some kind of pain that no doctor was able to find the source of it.
There was no suicide note to explain the reasons why he killed himself, they just found him in his car. His suicide is the main news today for the local newspaper, apparently everyone was shocked and there’s a suspicion that he killed himself in order to avoid being caught for fraud and taking money illegally for himself.

I’m so happy right now, I still can’t believe he’s dead!

I want to thank you all for your help and insights and especially James, I think that I wouldn’t be successful without his help.

oh!

i’m so proud of you right now, Nereid :*)

LOL. i’m flattered that you think i helped, though. i always worry that my suggestions do more harm than good haha.

i actually stumbled on this whole creative magic thing by accident. i don’t really know why it works so well, and without any kind of ritual at all (in my case, anyway). that said, it’s almost frightening how quickly things come about, and how precise the results can be. IMHO, it’s more effective (as far as results go) than evocation, although it doesn’t offer the experience that evocation does.

if anyone would care to try it out some more, i would really appreciate any feedback/problems/revelations you find as a result. i believe that in comparing the experiences of others, i’ll be able to better understand this whole thing. or, at very least, how to best apply it in a consistent and straightforward manner.

thanks again for sharing:)

Nereid congrats! I’m happy you were able to get your revenge. That is so awesome.

I should have something working up soon. Amazon lost my order for the last of my evocation supplies but the last of the stuff should be here by the end of the month. I’ve put my initial target on the back burner as I have a new target to try this out on. Will post details when I get the ball rolling.
