About 20 years ago I had the chance of asking a magician, on phone, one of the questions that interested me the most: “how can I see and hear the Spirits?” but I forgot to… Well, in a video he says that the manifestation is the most difficult part of a summoning, so I’d say this same thing, along with structuring the entities, use the calling to reach a state of trance, put aside sci-fi expectations but have faith nonetheless (this one I still need to keep in mind).

My 15 year old self was a mix of a manipulative and highly insecure victim, a liar, a know-it-all, and a whinger. It’s when my false self was starting to form. Yes, at that time my true self was still perceived but I was on thin ice.

I wouldn’t give her any advice. She wouldn’t have listened to it. After all, the path I started on brought me to where I am now. I had to go seriously wrong to realise I was never on the wrong path. It’s always about the choices one makes every day. I chose to grow up in the end. My experiences helped me to make that choice.

Reflecting on the past events I would probably add to her:

“Let them go. You will never gain their recognition, no matter what. Do as you planned. Do it NOW.”

“Don’t waste your time on making an impression. No one will take you ever seriously, neither now nor ever. That doesn’t matter. You will be there, they won’t.”

“You aren’t their prey to have. Prepare for the great hunt”

This. I would add that people not taking you seriously is something you can easily use to your advantage. Not much advice I would give myself, other than to stay away from certain people and I would stop some situations from happening.

I was in a point in my life where I had very little self belief, and people around me were telling me all the time that art was worthless even though I really wanted to be an artist. I spent many years repairing the damage. So I would say,

“You know what you want. Don’t be afraid to do things that move you. Satisfy your innermost desires and it’ll all fall into place. The stuff they’re telling you is all made up bullshit.”

also,

“!!!DO NOT JOIN THAT GIRL’S CHURCH!!!”

Believe in yourself. Don’t worry about what other people think. Sex is fun but have respect for yourself. Some just are not worth your time of day.

Don’t abandon your abilities and Magick for years to go into the religious institution. Follow your dreams sooner.

Look, kid, the advice you’re getting from most adults isn’t about enlightening you at all, but rather, about controlling you. They don’t want you to think; they want you to shut up and obey in all facets of your life: religion, sexuality, learning (note: they don’t value self-education), work, etc. Don’t hand your freedom and independence over so quickly to those who wish to either subdue or exploit you.

‘‘Look man, I know that you’re used to doubting yourself all your life and I know its easier said than done, but all those negative thoughts can go away, work on yourself and wait 2 years to meet her and dont be shy, else you will repeat my greatest failure. Also start reading more books.’’
