My family living with me prevents me from advancing

[Dma300]

Hello, I’m finding myself in a situation in which I cannot really advance in magick due to people living in my house, I’m not interested in people knowing about me practicing magick, I can pull a ritual every now and then but I cannot form an altar in my room or hold too many objects related to magick(I do have some candles and incense which I’m able to hide but that’s all), if there’s anyone who is or has been in a similar situation and can help me deal with it I’ll be thankful.

That is utter nonsense, my friend, which is good news because it means you can advance.You don’t need merch or altars or anything to do magick, and E.A. here has talked about summoning demons while homeless living in a graveyard.

Why YOU Are The Luckiest Magician On Earth

THIS was the reality that faced people who were suspected of practicing black magick just a short time ago: Swimming Test As part of the infamous “swimming test,” accused witches were dragged to the nearest body of water, stripped to their undergarments, bound and then tossed in to to see if they would sink or float. Since witches were believed to have spurned the sacrament of baptism, it was thought that the water would reject their body and prevent them from submerging. According to this …

Creating your Inner Temple

I made this guide for a psionics community, so you guys may find the text odd. Its not like Im looking down on your intelligence though Tounge I wont edit it coz Im just too lazy to do so. So, what is a Inner Temple? You can google for “Astral Temple” so you’ll know what its all about. I’ll say only this: it’s a place inside yourself where you can do Rituals instead of having to rely on physical space and objects. Why would someone work ritually instead of using the “psion style”? 1 - Persona…

I live in an environment where magic is life and I’m free to practice and have all my quirky things around me…

That’s not to say It’s always been like that for a few years I was made to hide that part of myself and I felt incomplete like something was always missing.

I would bring tools/books in to my home and they would go missing (someone moved them)…

But I then realised and I agree with @Lady_Eva it’s not about Someone or some place preventing you, it’s not about having the alter or tools, it’s about you.

I realised the magic, my skills Even the knowledge I had gained was still there.
So in the end It didn’t stop me practicing, It didn’t stop Me following the path I was born into, the path I had chosen for myself.

If you want to advance it’s still within you to do so…

I definitely agree with the astral temple, I found this technique extremely helpful.

There’s plenty of magick you can do without tools.

Look into the books by the Gallery of Magick, like those of authors Gordon Winterfield, and Damon Brand. They require nothing but the sigils in the book and the chanting of a few words of power.

Another option is what is called pathworking. Essentially, it is using your imagination as a bridge to connecting with entities. Raziel’s Paths of Power, and Lucifer and the Hidden Demons are two books that provide instructions.
