I want to embrace despair, be enveloped in hopelessness, and become a god of sadness. I am to become the Prophet of Regret.
I have experienced severe depression in my life; at one point I became so distraught that my soul left my body. When this happened my sadness was overwhelmingly present. I was a hollow husk embodying the zenith of sadness, but it was no longer painful. I compare it to being similar to a long drawn out orgasm of emotional pain. It sounds weird but I loved it.
I have since overcame my depression and I’m psychology “cured” of it. But heres the thing- I want it back. I want to be able to use sadness as one of the driving forces in my craft, and as I said, become a god of hopelessness.
I can already do it, but not at will. Emotion bubbles up from deep within my heart chakra, rises up through the throat and builds up at my eyes. Astrally it makes me shed tears and burns my eye sockets with what look like electrical scars of black, purple, and pink. It’s not just sadness though, it’s any emotion.
Love, for instance, is another powerful one. But all emotion is felt through the medium of sadness. When I feel love in this state, it’s a heartbreaking love. Like the love a mother has for a child that has passed away. Its a sweet and wholesome love, deep and overwhelming, but completely heartbreaking.
I have this ability within me, and it’s a part of my soul, but I dont know how to control or intentionally access it. This endeavor may sound strange to most of you, but it is important to my development. And besides that, we are gods in the making no? Who’s to say what is and isnt off limits for finding the power within ourselves?
So. Do any of you have insight or recommendations of a particular spirit that may be able to help me with this? To become the Devil of Despair?
