Nightside's Journal

Mum was talking about taking me with her to her walks. That’s a good exercise to do during it…also the nudge I needed to get out of the house. I’ve unconsciously become a hikkikimori.

Went outside, smoked a joint, then as I noticed the sun horizontal with my forehead, I framed my hands up in a zelator-theoricus discipline, and said the first invocation of the sun:
Hail unto thee, wha art Ra in thy rising,
Even unto thee, who art Ra in thy strength,
Who travellest over the heavens in thy bark of the sun,
Tahuti standeth at the prow, and Ra-Hoor abideth at the helm,
Hail unto thee from the abodes of night!
Followed by sign of silence.
I take it this might not go over at churches…

Petitioned Archangel Michael, thanking in advance.
Lit candle, said petition, thanked and extinguished candle, opened Temperance card.

Saw the streets of gold, the seven pebbles, the three rocks, and the two slabs, one foot resting on as leg or prop while other is in the pond or pool of consciousness.
The abode of the crown is in between two mountains, and the same brilliance is reflected in michael … he bears red wings of passion and fiery energy.
He transmutes the senses between the cups.
He bears a tattwa, a triangle in a square, and a headband bears an emblem of the sun, Sol.

Did Tarot Contemplation Ritual and drew Temperance.

Tried to open hand chakras by clapping, and then started to rub my hands vigorously until it felt fiery, and imagined a red ball grown to a dodgeball size, bounced up and caught it.
Will proceed.

Hit with all five elements, felt each in their weight, texture or consistency.

Oh, and hot raspberry sweet tea and combos pepperoni pizza tastes like pepperoni and pineapple pizza. Yum.

Dreams: None recalled last night. A few days ago I was walking between a couple houses and some red haired rednecks were outraged that I was not pro-Trump.

Physical Notes: Pandie slept with me, so didnt toss and turn much. Job interview soon as second round.

Synchronicities: Seek out today.

Do not attempt to analyze or make judgments; merely observe. Keep a journal of your observations. Take note of everything concerning this object. Yellow.
Preliminary Meditative Work
Daily Awareness Exercises:
Darkness Technique: Before the commencement of any meditation, breathe deeply and rhythmically. Cover your eyes with the palms of your hands; overlapping the fingers of one hand with the other. You should experience total darkness.
Sense Awareness Techniques: For the duration of a week, take a daily walk and make a mental note of everything you see, not focusing on anything in particular. Do not attempt to analyze or make judgments; merely observe. Keep a journal of your observations.
For the following week, take a daily walk and stop, deliberately focusing in on one particular object. Take note of everything concerning this object.
On the following week of daily walking, try to look for a single color each day. On Sunday look for orange; Monday-blue, Tuesday- red, Wednesday yellow, Thursday-violet, Friday-green, Saturday-blue-violet (indigo).
For one week concentrate on the various sounds that are heard on the daily walk. Stop at certain times and close your eyes, so that the faculty of sight does not interfere with this exercise. Do not attempt to analyze or make judgments; merely take note.
For the following week, take a daily walk and stop, deliberately focusing in on one particular sound. Take note of everything concerning this sound.
For one week, take note of different tactile or touch sensations that you encounter during the course of a day. Stop at certain times and close your eyes, so that the faculty of sight does not interfere with this exercise.
For one week, take note of every taste that you encounter during the course of a day. Stop at certain times and close your eyes, so that the faculty of sight does not interfere with your sense of taste. For the following week, focus on one particular taste.
For one week, take note of every smell that you encounter. Stop at certain times and close your eyes, so that the faculty of sight does not interfere with your sense of smell. For the following week, focus on one particular smell.
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.

Final Outcome - XIII Death

Anyone wanna take a crack at interpreting that?

Well. First, the numerical sum of the cards is 93, is that a Crowley current?
We have two spiritual influences, Emperor and Judgement. There is an abundance of fire here, as Judgements qaballistic path is elemental Fire, and Emperor Aries, ruled by Mars. So we could say a path of fire magic here. The spiritual advice however is Hierophant which normally is interpreted at some form of religion. So, fire and religion, even though Hierophant is Taurus, which is ruled by Venus, another fiery planet. Theurgy?
Now we focus on our plane and two planes of mind, unconscious and conscious desire.
The World - Saturn/Earth.
The Sun - Ruled by Sol. This implies a cereminal path as Tiphareth is the first goal after climbing onto earth, through the paths of tav and samekh.
Practical Advice - Justice, Libra. Paired with the Hierophant and influence of Emperor, seems to imply to me Solomonic path.
Final Outcome, Death - Baneful magic? Or a transformation? The flag bearing the white rose is the same as the white rose on the top card of the Deck (Fool, Air), bottom Star - Aqauarius).
So, ceremonial seems the approach, though ordered with revelation and hearing and seeing.
Mundanely, be a vehicle for spirit, aspire for Sol and regeneration, and take the path of Balance.
This then leads to the transformation.

The Work

Wards- Water ward visualized, realization of our four bodily main fluids (phlegm, blood, water, bile; the four personalities - phlegmatic, melancholy, choleric, sanguine, the four elements. Even within water there are the four elements, and atoms in vibration in everything.

Visualizations - Watery self as a ward. Aleph and Beth by word and symbol in mind and associated observations.

Tarot work -
A matter of time, persistence and symbolism.
I just laid out a master tableu of tarot, except 0 is above VII and to the right of each row is
PS AS 2S
PC AC 2C
PW AW 2W
PP AP 2P
So now we have four element rows defined, and missing cards only need an air or fire sign to move up, and this might be useful in elemental magic or planetary magic by tarot.
How this is possible by posistion is 0, VII, XIV, XXI the element positions in seventh column and 1-4 rows.
Then we invoke by letter and attempt to hold the point in mind as the letter is repeated or spoke over and over and over, still holding in mind the point, and seeing or observing things like attempted obstruction in holding the point in mind, then a burst of yellow light around the point and aleph as a token of air. Etc.
If done with other letter alphabets, such as persian, or concentrating on equivalent qlippothic tunnel, could make for an interesting experiment using the master tablkeau, the element columns by page powering ace powering 2, which is then the Primum Mobile or Zodiacal belt emitting force and form with incantations associated letters associated, symbols associated, sigils associated, scents, sights, sounds, feels, etc.
Even if I dont have clair abilities, it started to work for me by spoken letter sound and meditative symbol and associated effect observed.
Beth was a greater effect of not onlyseeing white brilliant light, but gold stars above and a whirling of light. Really, too much input.

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.

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.

Meditation on Aleph – unlike the other day when I used and invoking air LRP, did not see the canaanite/hebrew symbols, array of yellow light, no, this was in the shape of aleph, the top left bright swirling white light, the lower right indigo, but an energetic feeling of joy, exhiliration, nervousness, bliss.
Wondering what other alphabets exist that have 22 letters, to fit with the 22 keys of the major arcana.
Meditation on Beth – I see the letter, then two houses, one normalish thatch hut, the other oriental pointy on top. Putting one self into harms way, danger, relief, getting out of harms way; contemplation on the need for a fence, a sword, and a house on Satariel/Binah.
Meditation on Gimel – A journey, a pack of cigarettes, a camel, a tripod, a propped chair. A long sand hill journey with indigo sky approaching.
Meditation on Daleth – A tent, door, portal below a brilliant white light, and below darkness but some manner of light.
Meditation on Heh – An expectant wise old ruler sees all and is waiting for someone to approach, as if looking out on a high view or through a window; Dalet with a barrier nailed to it, as if Vav the broken line. IChing.
Meditation on Vav – A tiki torch with a SE-NE wind affecting it. A line with a yod, as if yod is attached or nailed to the line, or brought together. A man stanf=ding against a wall or peering around a corner.
