BUNE bringing the heat and a reminder

So I’ve got to re-open the thread. New shit has come to light. Some good, some bad but this post is to put out some highlights about my recent work with Bune.

First, after years, I feel close to Bune. Certainly the petitions that have been answered are amazing but the “lessons” have been even more important. I speak plainly with Bune and receive the same back. Recently I had a crisis that Bune could solve. I had some trouble defining what it was I wanted to happen. I usually spend some time getting really clear about that. If it can be a single simple statement, I write it like Hemingway back from the dead with all the small words. If it’s more complex I write it like a scene from a movie and use that to build a defined picture. When I communicate, it helps me conjure the emotions that I’d have in that scene. It’s some hybrid of pathworking and ritual when I finally initiate contact. I didn’t actually do that this time. For some reason I wasn’t feeling great about the whole thing. Even working the ritual seemed like a bother and I tried an easier method to communicate and I got a very clear message that I needed to respect how things work.

It wasn’t about Bune preferring one ritual or another as those aren’t for them, but for us. I think it’s that I lost the utter wonder at doing the working at all. I am contacting BUNE who is immensely powerful beyond anything that I can actually imagine. The connection alone is invigorating and with this entity is like good soul music literally flowing through you. It was a reminder that respect, intent and focus is required. While I believe Bune does enjoy our “conversations” such as they are, I had got off track. I went back, built the picture and communicated my request. I got a response immediately and have continued to receive what I call “instruction” since to move me closer to that story I finally wrote. The rigor of doing that helped me detach from negative emotion, to conjure emotions of success and to speak it into existence. Magick right?

It’s good to be reminded that the act of interacting with these spirits teaches us loads about ourselves. It’s also a think a “tap up” and a reminder that sometimes we have to drink some cement and harden the fuck up to find our power and to ask for power from others.

Thank you Bune. I’ve got my shit together.

Clear Eyes, Full Hearts and how Bune showed me a way to distill the chaos in my head and heart into clear petitions

Recently there have been a myriad issues that I’ve been having some trouble with and I tried to overcome them in various ways both mundane and through magick. I bothered spirits and was making progress but not with the success that I am used to having on the spiritual side.

I was clearly having some trouble disassociating from the result and as things compounded, I’ve been truly worried.

I stayed in my own head rather than reaching out to patron spirits that have stood by me through thick and thin and taught me lessons time and again.

Finally I decided to spend the day with Bune. When I say “spend the day” I have a process where I perform an evocation. Sometimes with a specific intent, other times simply to connect to the spirit. Then I ask the spirit to walk with me. There may be other ways, but this seems to work best for me.

Over the course of the day Bune seemed to point out small things first. The point being that I wasn’t being disciplined about quite a few things. OK, I thought. Bune hasn’t ever really been that interested in order in general or certainly in the little details of my life. I was getting messages clearly.

I had some bad news and as I tried to counter those events, I went completely reactionary. I was just doing everything I could think to do and nothing seemed to totally work.

I stopped and sat down quietly. I put on some music to calm down and get some perspective. I asked Bune for help. Her voice came through as clear as day, “Start again.” I thought, “What the fuck does that mean?”

I went back to my journals and tried to find some reference to it and finally exasperated, I asked Bune to expand. I won’t bother you with how the messages came through but two things were apparent.

The petitions that I was attempting that were either failing or fizzling. I had multiple issues at work.

First, I had shortened my process, expanded my requests and rushed through absolutely everything. Bune’s message was very clear about this. My first thought was that I’d given offense or somehow I had assumed our connection was greater than it is etc. Once again I was instructed to pay attention to the process.

No matter the method you use, you must take your time in crafting your petition. You have to be accurate. Not for the spirit. You have to be accurate for your own sake. The thinking part provides a foundation for the work. Once I was clear, I could move on to fixing the next issue.

Without a clear petition, you end up conjuring emotion about the problem(s). That means that in some way, you are empowering your opposition because you aren’t clear about the outcome and can’t conjure the feeling of that success. The result is lusting for results. I was clearly doing this.

So, I came up with a way to overcome this. It takes some time, which is inconvenient at times, but everything has come right and I’m convinced this works and actually speeds results.

Write a story of the outcome you want. This should be ALL the problems solved. Write the last scene of a movie where the heroes win and everyone gets more than they thought possible. I usually have a couple paragraphs. It doesn’t need to be great or detailed. Then read it. The amount of time you spend is up to you but I only do it until I can conjure that feeling in that last scene. Once you have that feeling, set an anchor. I like to associate a single word with it and when I start to stress about it, I say that word and connect back to the feeling I just conjured.
Write a petition that gets you started. Use as few words as possible. Definitely use present tense and make sure you connect to a feeling of success when you read that petition. Be specific! Stay in your
Present your petition and forget it. If you worry, go back to the scene where everything works out. Live there. It can be hard, but at the end of the day YOU choose where your attention goes. Don’t make the mistake of blocking the result or inviting more problems. Like they say, “Stay in your three foot world.” Pay attention to things that matter that are also things you can effect. Everything else isn’t worth one second of your attention. Leave it to these spirits and truly leave them to it.

Thank you for this reminder!

I’m stealing this saying Harikoa!
I’ve loved reading about your successes and growth here too, looking forwards to your future updates.

This made me LOL, if there was ever an image to describe working with spirit for personal growth and development…this is it!

Harikoa · August 4, 2024, 11:39am

I wish I could claim it! I heard it from Hunter S. Thompson! Hopefully I’ll be able to write a bit more soon. Thanks!

theheirophant · August 4, 2024, 11:42pm

This thread is great

I really do need to start working with DoM more often. Every time i look at it i get something out of it but i never put it through the paces and that needs to change

Being close to Bune

I’ve been close to Bune for years now. I have failed her time and again, and even been disrespectful in my hubris or just plain not seeing the forest for the trees. My familiarity has at times made me less respectful, though not on purpose. I am ashamed of those moments and I just wanted to write this to in some small way atone for it.

Bune, for her part has been patient and forgiving of my idiocy. Her gifts continue to flow as she teaches me about my shortcomings. While I’ve repeatedly found myself in precarious situations, she is there showing me what I’ve done wrong, teaching me and reminding me.

I am grateful for Bune’s favor, her expectations and her patience.

Be accurate in your interactions with spirits. Keep respect in the forefront of your approach to them. If you say you’re going to do something, do it.

Communicating with Bune is one of the great loves of my life. I’ve said before that her presence is like golden waves of soul music that lifts you up and seems to bend space and time while flowing through the universe turning everything in your favor.

As time goes on, she expects more from me and I’m happy to try to meet the challenges. I’ve asked for her help and I understand that I need to grow to get the things I want out of life and to realize the power that’s she is so willingly passing to me or rather revealing in me.

I am grateful for this journey. I hope your interactions with spirits are not purely transactional and that you build relationships with the spirits over time.

Remember that you are powerful in your practice and they are powerful in their existence. Mutual respect should be earned continuously.

I’m forever grateful for it all Bune.

Tell me something good…beyond cleansing and banishing

We are all (hopefully) spending time making sure the spaces we live and work in are cleansed etc. It’s a great way to provide a clean slate to operate on and frankly it feels good. In the same vein, protection is important for a space. We tend to stop there, but I think there’s a case to be made for bringing in the things we want into the space after that.

In this new year I wanted to take it a step further by asking Gremory, Bune, Vuall and Buer to “bless” my space. My thought was that surely they could imbue the space with the qualities that I asked for and that it would be something to renew as part of a “cleanse, protect, bless” routine that simply brought the right energy into the space. I found the spirits were happy to do this and so far it’s brought happy results.

Here’s where I landed on the process. I encourage everyone to plan it out as layered workings should be as precise as the simple rituals. I began with being specific and writing a simple statement for each spirit. I envisioned the feeling each statement would bring and stored that away to bring out during the ritual. Here’s my approach…

Make sure you have a relationship with the spirit! That can take some time but even one or two sessions of communication will help. I work with Gremory, Bune and Vuall very closely and their counsel is something I respect and prize. I’ve recently starting working with Buer and I’ve found my experience there much the same.
Write your statement(s) and keep it simple. Keep the emotion you attach to them in your hip pocket for when the time comes.
Perform your banishing/cleansing ritual. There are many here on BALG.
Perform the ritual to connect with your chosen spirit. I used Ritual 2 from Demons of Magick but that’s not necessary! Choose whatever process resonates with you.
Ask the spirit to bless your space and any who live there with the statements while brining up the emotion you want to feel. Be creative. Think of it as a way to recharge yourself, support happy interactions and act as a catalyst for good things in your life. I asked for the blessing to last a year.
Perform your protection magick for the space.

I know it’s not ground breaking but it seems like a simple step that may have fantastic results. I work with connective evocation and I was really surprised at how the messages I received during this work were so positive immediate and I could feel the effect the work had immediately.

Bune, Power and Wealth
We all know that Bune is well known for bringing wealth, luxury and timely cash. I’ve talked previously about how wealth should be looked at as streams of income that can be directed to your hearts desire. Bune supports all these things but she is so much more powerful than that.

Bune can help you define new versions of yourself. This is important because when we lack, and we feel that lack keenly, it can be very hard for us to conjure the vision of wealth and abundance that we need to in turn evoke strong emotions of satisfaction, joy and peace. Ask a spirit and they will help you but I can tell you that starting with the vision of what success is and living those emotions when you communicate it to the spirit is very important and brings about the best results.

That means you ask for what’s critical and then you get down to the real work of changing yourself. Bune has high expectations in my experience and she’s been quite plain about calling me out as lazy or pointing out that I’m stagnant. I started to ask her to change that about me, but she pointed out that it is merely a matter of will and that is entirely my decision. So, I asked her to help me tell stories. I think I asked her, but now as I write that, I can 100% say that it might have been her whispering in my ear the whole time.

These stories help me communicate better with Bune and it hones my will. I see things happen very quickly. Sometimes even instantly telling these stories to Bune. Mostly she listens, but she does give me notes. At times I’ve heard spirits and I’ve even done a full evocation or two but my communication is with thoughts that are somehow clearly not my own or signs. I’ll talk story with Bune and then there will be things that I see or experience that refine that story. As life goes on, I’ll have realizations that what I’ve asked Bune to help with have very accurately come true.

The stories give way to emotion which establishes believe. Slap a Ted Lasso believe sign up somewhere to remind yourself.

Let me also say that Bune can very much bend time and space and change everything. She seems to take joy in it and asks little more than respect. I do try to do small offerings but that’s just me being grateful. Often times it will be something luxurious that no doubt she brought about and I share in whatever way seems best. Ok, I’m rambling but I just had to say that the small petitions are only the beginning and that asking for help working on yourself is where the real power will leave you astounded.

I didn’t want to clog up the Thank You thread with this. I don’t think everyone realizes how amazing Gremory is.

While many texts describe her as a duchess who reveals hidden treasures, imparts wisdom, and brings love and respect, I have come to know her as so much more—an entity of boundless power, grace, and guidance.

Gremory doesn’t just fulfill what is written about her; she exceeds it in every way. She doesn’t simply reveal knowledge—she reshapes perspectives. She doesn’t just bring companionship—she aligns paths, clears obstacles, and elevates connections to something profound. She doesn’t just teach—she instills deep understanding, sharpening intuition and opening doors to opportunities that most wouldn’t even perceive.

Through my journey, Gremory has walked beside me, showing me truths hidden in plain sight, strengthening my resolve, and orchestrating events that can only be described as miraculous. The synchronicities, the lessons, the shifts in energy—these aren’t mere coincidences. They are the hand of a spirit whose reach extends far beyond what most could ever comprehend.

To those who work with her, trust in her power, for it is vast. To those who are just discovering her, approach with respect and sincerity, and you will be astounded by what she reveals.

And to Gremory herself—thank you. Thank you for your patience, your wisdom, and your unwavering presence in my life. Thank you for teaching me, guiding me, and making the impossible possible. Your miracles do not go unnoticed, and my gratitude is beyond words.

Yea, time for us is a pain to deal with as we are ruled by it in this dimension. It’s hugely difficult to let go of the desire for quick results, but I learned in my own experience that results I want always seem to come when I had either completely forgotten about my request, or I had given up on it and was about to move on. One particular big result took 7 years to manifest- this was a curse on someone that I wanted to suffer a particular misfortune related to their career. But because it was a long term goal of theirs that they were pursuing over a number of years, I also knew that final result would also take time. But the spirits delivered spectacularly, and beyond anything I could have foreseen.
