Introducing myself

Hi, my name is Ed. I’ve been finding this forum for a few weeks now, but I’ve only just decided to join. I’ll answer the introductory questions below:

  • How long have you been practicing?
    I am not an active practitioner, but I have always had a connection with spiritual things, when I was a child, I used to cure pain using my hands and visualizing a kind of “energy”; As the years passed, I became interested in the demons of the Goetia and the angels of the Ars Paulina, but in particular, I felt a great attraction to the sigil of Astaroth.

  • Do you follow any particular system or tradition?
    No, I’m still trying to develop my own way or find one that works for me, but for now I just light candles, incense, and meditate.

  • Do you have any practical experience in magick?
    At the age of 13, after the sigil of Astaroth caught my attention, I started researching about him and learned how to draw his sigil.
    A few months passed and a teenage romance left me, I fell into a lot of sadness; so one night I light a red candle that I had made, I pricked my finger and put 3 drops of blood under the sigil, after that I prayed to his sigil to make her come back to me, I don’t know how, but it worked the next morning, I had several messages from her and I thanked Astaroth.
    Over the years, I began to approach the study of the Bible and the teachings of Jesus Christ, seeking to complement both parts (Light and darkness).

  • Where are you from?
    I’m from Mexico, it’s a beautiful country with a great culture, I hope you can visit it someday, we will welcome you with open arms.

  • Photos if you’re comfortable

  • Current ambitions/struggles
    Because the contacts I made were when I was a child, I have completely forgotten how to do it (I am currently 22 years old), I have tried to contact demons again, but I can’t tell if it works or not. I have lost much of the sensitivity I had for everything related to spiritual stuff.
    My most recent attempt was on March 13 of this year, during a lunar eclipse, I tried to contact Andrealphus to help me study and learn about engineering-related topics, But I haven’t noticed any change since then.
    So my current goal is to be able to notice energies again and be able to use them; in the case of entities, I don’t want to work with many; I want to connect with them and learn about them their story, their lives, their experiences and be able to have a kind of “friendly” relationship with them.
    Also my sister also asked me to research how to connect with pre-Hispanic entities like Quetzalcoatl, Tlaloc, and Coatlicue; but I haven’t found any information on the subject, so I would like to find answers to that.

(PS: Sorry if my English isn’t very good, I still need to improve it)

Welcome to the forum! Great intro. :smiley:

Generally, when talking about gods you contact them by name. An image you (she) likes for the entity helps, and for these, as it’s a dead religion she’d have to build her own relationship from scratch. I don’t know if there any revivalist Aztec groups around like there are for the Norse and Druid religions, but it’s a broken tradition and in any case some of it would be reinvented by modern occultists and subject to speculation. So she would have to make it up for herself, really.

Here is a getting started with magick guide.

We have ideas on getting your spiritual hygiene sorted out, and working on developing your astral senses that you might like.

Thank you so much for responding to that question; I told her what you mentioned, and she said she’ll put it into practice.

On the other hand, thank you for providing me with the links to the threads about what I want to work on.

Thank you for welcoming me to this forum. :3 :+1:
