No noticeable presence from any spirits today but I did feel like I went into a trance when chanting Acreba and presenting my emotions. Also interesting thing that happened, basically the second I started my ritual all the rain just stopped instantly and when I was done with it (when I thanked Acreba and closed the book). The rain just started again.
No crazy presence today, tho when calling out Barmiel I had a feeling / vision that he was trying to show himself to me but for some reason didn’t manage to. It was like phasing through me
Today’s ritual made me extremely tired and I don’t really know why. I didn’t get any response / presence today either. The only thing that happened was when I was on Acreba and chanted their name it was like a random sentence (like cut off from a random dialogue type stuff) and it said “look in the circle” and for a slight moment I could see a red ring around a random place of Acreba’s sigil. I took this as a sign and looked at it but nothing happened.
I am about to do the ritual for one final time. Honestly i feel like it’s been fun and really helpful and a great practice if anything, i’m just really hoping for results. When should i check for results? When would be a good time to check? I’ll come back again in an hour or two after i’ve done the ritual to write down what happened today. After that i’m hoping someone will answer my questions :}
Don’t check for results. Emotional attachment to the outcome can trap you in a loop of worry and desperation, which can then take the energy away from the ritual and manifest more worry and desperation. In magick, this is called lust for results. One of the best way to prevent this is to immediately go into another ritual for something completely unrelated. That way, your mind is not dwelling on the previous magick.
Today when I was chanting out Caspiel I could feel a slight presence behind me creeping up on me kinda how it was at the start; and also a really heavy feeling on the right side of my back. Chanting out Barmiel made me extremely tired / sleepy almost instantly when starting and I could feel I was sort of shaking or almost vibrating. My vision slowly faded out to just all black but I could feel my eyes were open and I saw a man that kinda looked like someone I’ve seen (might’ve looked familiar to one of my teachers) that had no eyes, it was just pure black where his eye sockets should be. And his facial expression was like aggressive with his teeth showing and everything. This didn’t scare me even though the look was intimidating, I was more fascinated.
I could feel a sort of connection with Acreba but nothing that screamed their presence, I couldn’t exactly put my tongue on it - it was just there.
Question: who was that man? Was that how Barmiel revealed himself to me?
It’s best for it to be unrelated so you can step back from the previous magick. The idea is to detach from it so the energy goes where it’s supposed to instead of feeding back into your attachment to the outcome. However, if you are layering towards the same outcome, then you could do another ritual directed at a different piece of that outcome. For example, you just did a ritual to end a relationship, so you could further that by next doing a ritual targeting a specific individual within that relationship That way, you are still doing magick for a different result, and can release the previous magick, but the result will indirectly help achieving the ultimate outcome you seek.
