Dreams: None recalled
Physical Notes: Felt ill second day in a row, have done no rituals today.
Mental Notes: Had an uplift today, when thinking about hugging my sister, it would be like the photo of her hugging me when I was a kid. Love that sister of mine!! Got soaked by rain today, had I waited couldve avoided it. Walked to Dollar Tree, got cookies, coffee and kitty treats.
Synchronicities: Looking for red today, saw a lot of workj vehicles that were red besides red cars, stop signs and red lights; let me know workers have authority of slow or stop signs, and today is a day of work and commerce. Cement trucks that were red I kept seeing and wondering why besides the cement factory down the road, masonry, the cement, the foundation below my feet.

Sacral, Heart, and 3rd eye seem a little dim. I tried only checking chakras and your energy body but I’m also seeing plants and life itself like an evolution clip in movies.
My heart felt this really big, stressful pressure while scanning you, also heard “blood pressure”.
The little bit of trouble with the third eye also seems to stem (or is quite related to) something caused by the root chakra, anxiety, feeling vulnerable, etc. This is affecting your mood, and therefore your heart too.
There’s a sense of dissociation here, not from the world but yourself.
Your energy isn’t too active or too inactive, “rampant” is the word that comes to mind. Very chaotic and not grounded properly.
For your energy body, it looks like there’s trouble with your upper arms, and thighs. Heavy weight, lifting too much? Either being overdone, or improperly.
Hearing breathing problems or hyperventilation because of anxiety. A little bit of brain fog.
Energy is moving in different directions and not in an ordered way it seems.
There’s need for balancing the lower chakras a bit more than upper.
That’s all I’m getting. It’s been some time since I scanned energy bodies, I hope this helped.

Just occurred to me as I no longer have a DuQuette deck, but Raum is in Taurus, and was just reading about him, also Bune/Bime is in Sagittarius perhaps. Nonetheless, the point being I need to memorize them … 144 spirits in the zodiac wheel.

Exercise:
It is vitally important that in the quest to exalt the health of the Spirit, the student does not neglect the health of the body. Physical well-being and endurance are essential to the magician who wishes to perform lengthy rituals as well as Astral work.
During this probationary period, the student should begin a regular discipline of exercise to maintain physical fitness. We leave the choice of exercise to the individual student; swimming, biking, jogging, martial arts, aerobics, yoga or some other. Israel Regardie recommended that the student perform certain exercisesthat are designed to raise both the physical and psychic vitality of the practitioner. They are taken from a small pamphlet by Peter Kelder called The Five Rites of Rejuvenation or The Eye of Revelation. These exercises can also be found in Donald Michael Kraig’s book Modern Magick (pages 222-229).
Whatever form of exercise is undertaken, the student should never overwork to the point of strain. If one is not used to exercise, begin slowly and gradually. If health concerns are an issue, consult a doctor before commencing any form
of physical exertion.
Visualization Exercise:
Spend a few moments of each day in this exercise. Begin with the eyes closed and
relax, breathing deeply and rhythmically. Then open your eyes and gaze into the palm of your left hand. Imagine a small yellow lump of a non-sticking substance formulating in your hand. It is somewhat clay-like and elastic in consistency. Cup your right hand over the other and press this yellow substance as if you were making a hamburger patty. Then begin to roll the substance between your hands as if you were making a meatball. When the image of the yellow ball of astral substance is very clear within your mind, place it somewhere near you. Repeat this technique three more times, forming next a red ball, a blue ball and finally a black ball.
When finished, place all four balls in a row. Visualize them strongly. Then concentrate on dissolving the balls one by one, starting with the black ball, followed by blue, red and finally yellow. See the area where the balls were-placed as totally clear of the astral substance.

Subjective Synthesis
Probably the most important element in the preparation for magick is a solid subjective synthesis. EA calls it preparatory immersion. Unfortunately it is also the one element that many neglect when they set foot in the path. They will scribble down a sigil and stare into it while chanting gibberish, all the while wondering if they are doing it right, and then they wonder why nothing happened. Or, they will lay out their tarot that they only halfway studied and wonder why gnosis isn’t forthcoming. The reason for much failure is neglecting to lay the groundwork with a solid subjective synthesis.
Given that much of what is done here revolves around evocation I will discuss it in that context. So what is this subjective synthesis nonsense and why is it so important? For the definition of it, I’m going to rip off Joe Lisiewski:
A state of Subjective Synthesis is produced through the conscious study, understanding, comprehension, and acceptance of the theory of all elements that compose a given magical act. As a result of this synthesis, an integrated belief system is taken up in the Practitioner’s subconscious mind. This allows the individual to perform the magic and obtain the results desired from the magical act.
What this means is that if you are working a ritual you need to understand every element of it and the operating theory that it is based upon. If there is a part of the ritual that you don’t understand and you try to perform it anyway then you will get to that point and then your subconscious says “I don’t know what I am supposed to do with this.” It creates an immediate disconnect. The magick in a sense shorts out and the result is failure either in whole or in part. Without adequate subjective synthesis, you go into your ritual with a sense of uncertainty that only becomes magnified during the performance of the work.
Establishing your subjective synthesis is an intellectual act. If you are planning a ritual to summon a particular spirit, then you need a solid grounding in the theory of how evocation works, the system of evocation being used, what spirits are, as well as the meanings of the words and symbols used. In the case of incantations in the demonic tongue, you at least need to know what they are meant to do. You need to know what every element of the ritual is meant to do and you need to know it inside and out.
Then there is the spirit itself. You need a clear understanding of who and what that spirit is and what it’s powers are. EA suggests that one avenue for researching a spirit is to look up other people’s experience with that spirit. I don’t agree with this. There is just too much fuckery out there for this to be a reliable method. The reason is that some people’s methods tend more towards the creation of thoughtforms rather than genuine spirit contact. This means that they are only reporting experiences with thoughtforms. Potentially getting sucked into someone’s fantasy world is not remotely useful. Stick to more reliable historical sources when you can.
Some modern grimoires such as Kingdoms of Flame have no historical lore regarding the Spirits contained within. It is enough to study the grimoire itself. Read and study the description of the spirit as it is written in the book until you know it by heart. Once you have a solid subjective synthesis established you won’t go into your ritual with doubt. You will enter your ritual space with a sense of certainty and the ritual will just seem to flow out of you. Results will be forthcoming.
