The Nature of Gargophias

I have encountered little information on Gargophias other than Crowley’s book and different authors’ explanation of the tunnel. But I’m wondering if anyone has personal experience with Gargophias on relationships.

Is her energy emotionally stabilizing? Does it upset or smooth out other people’s emotions. Does she bring pyschic empowerment for you? What about protection? I’m just curious.

New member, so I don’t know the etiquette yet. I am a demonolater and enjoy the worship part. My matrons are Hekate, Lilith and Astarte. I work with Gargophias now! Since I work on necromancy and the combination of eh sexuality, she is able to help quite well.

She is connected to Hekate and has a mediterranean face, black hair, but blazing eyes. Mesmerizing. I felt at home immediately. I prefer the name Amarantha, which is also a name of a well known ever-green plant in Greece.

She can indeed help in relationships, whether she stabilizes emotions? For me she made them first more apparent and that was quite a drag to go through, but after that she learned me to control them better. But certain truths are exposed. And for me this time good ones. So I was in luck.

She also likes sexual communion, which is nice. I don’t know about protection, but since she has the same possibilities as Hekate, I think that is ok.

I got some notes on my first connection.

If it is too much UPG, say so:

I am still busy with the tunnels of Set. I had a really confusing void experience, but learned a lot about my specific path.

I work with Gargophias now. First ritual, after using the standard thing I use from V.K. Jehannum, rites of Archarayim. Works well and is simple. I prepared by reading about her, but not let the visuals blind me too much.

I imagined a door and behind that door she was. I knocked by eh experiment. She said come in, I was waiting on you. The image was a bit obscured, because I couldn’t get in trance deep enough, but visible. I felt at home. And she is connected to Hekate.

She explained a lot about why I am doing the things I do. Apparently my role will be psychopomp. Not like an angel or something, but eh, I focus on people that are stuck somewhere and I usually nudge them upwards. This is trauma related work. It is the reason I did a lot of research. I got a bad hand relatively, but it is ok, because it is also related to sexuality. Not a nice combo. It is a reason, eh, Hekate started to dampen my disgust reflex a bit. But needed and that was what I asked, I wanted to be useful to them.

I just want to say, that psychopomps are not terrible. They are dark, but have a clear role. They send people to new stations more or less. Or destroy which is no longer viable. Death can also be symbolical. Like this life phase ended or this aspect or mask of you dies. Normal people carry masks too.

She will learn me necromancy and I will let her lead into darker forms of sexuality. (I am masochist, no worries, I am the only one that gets hurt), This is partially reconstruction of someone through stories, but if you are close enough you can call someone too. The sexuality is useful for reconstructing, the ones that died eh badly.

Easiest way to give them peace is to take some graveyard dirt. Add some wine to it and a flower. Put it on your altar and take it back. The smell after a month, has evocative qualities to me. I see thombstones, sometimes creatures. It works somehow. Symbolically it is sound, you have to take the wine to their realm. Why it works, dunno. Usually I add a small ritual, I tell why I took it and why I bring it back in name of Hekate. five candles in a pentagram and offer some fresh wine mixed with blood too.

Cleaning up the graveyard is good too, just reading their stones and try to imagine who they were.

Recently I met a lot of death again due to that. Dead birds, dead cats, dead bats, dead people, already dead people in dreams. In all its forms, even targeted to myself. I was a bit concerned, apparently Gargophias is also into undoing things, but she reassured it is ok. I have been seen stable enough and eh, if they wanted to destroy me they already did. She also noted I am not really capable of hatred. It makes me not good for curses. .

Then there was sexuality of course, it is pleasant to have. She understood my eh darker fantasies, that usually end in my unmaking, she said I can’t act these out in my life and she will take up those needs. It amazes me how realistic they can make things.

Next day, Hekate asked me what my biggest fear was around dying, while walking. A common meditation method for me. I said, eh, the way I go, but for the rest I am fine. She then took over partially, walked me to a plant, said: Eat it. It tasted peppery, so I told her. Spit it out, it is a toxic plant. Wherever you are, I will be the one that takes you.

I thanked her for that. Thank you Hekate and Gargophias, however I interact with her as Amarantha, beautiful name too. She looked like Hekate, a Mediterranean face, light skin color, beautiful blazing eyes! Really excited to work with her.
