Truths

Truths appear in drips, streams, flows and pours. Drinking from the fountains of truth holds pleasures and benefits galore. Yep, truths poured in and truths poured out -- to constructively share. Truths sure can favorably do our lives well.

Initially, truths don’t always please our thirsty appetites. Often, though, when we allow them to rest in soak formation, to marinate and then to sink in thoroughly, our thirsts are satisfyingly quenched. Acceptance of truths adds to successful accomplishments of our action plans -- with relish.

Certainly, digesting truth proves good for our systems.

Anubis

https://www.ancientegyptonline.co.uk/anubis.html?fbclid=IwAR3_OzjODljVTi8278c4991vTWhfq8yI9Bz4fsgHs7w6b-Ch1lajxQH47i0

“Anubis was the guardian of all kinds of magical secrets. In the Papyrus Jumilhac, he appears as the leader of the armed followers of Horus. His ferocity is a match for the violence of Seth. In magical texts of a similar date, Anubis is named as 'Lord of the Bau’. Whole battalions of messenger demons are under his command. In the magical papyri dating to Roman times, Anubis acts as the main enforcer of curses. The gracious deities of the cult temples are scarcely recognizable in the pitiless gods and goddesses encountered in everyday magic. (…) A story in Papyrus Jumilhac (c. 300 BC) explains the custom by relating how Seth once turned himself into a panther after attacking the body of Osiris.  Anubis captured and branded the panther, creating the leopard's spots. The jackal god decreed that leopard skins should be worn by priests in memory of his victory over Seth.”

Women of Power


I saw the content below on Twitter this morning.

It struck me that her name is so similar to yours, and what I read reminded me of you. I know that you don't get into politics, but still I was reminded of you.

Here is what I read:

Letitia James is poised to make waves defending the state’s liberal legacy. From immigrant family separations to rollbacks on climate change policy, AG-elect James will be a force pushing back against President Donald Trump through legal challenges."

Letitia responded:

"You bet I will."

Kananga and Kananga Water

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kananga

Excerpt from article:

"In 1966, during an Africanization campaign, Mobutu Sese Seko renamed a number of cities and towns that bore European names. Leopoldville became Kinshasa, and Luluabourg became Kananga. The name Kananga derives from the Tshiluba word kanangayi meaning "a place for peace or love" as what is now central Kananga was a gathering place for pre-colonial chiefs to discuss treaties and to settle disputes."

Kananga Water

Excerpt from article:


"Kananga Water is a cologne used by spiritualists since the early 20th century. Made with Ylang Ylang, Kananga Water is used especially when working with ancestors or spirits of the dead."

Bible Info

I'm sharing this here WITH permission The author of the subject comments below is a SPIRITUAL woman -- NOT a religious person. She gave permission for me to post her comments on the condition that she be anonymous.
I mentioned on a post, in another group, about rituals being used in all religions. (Rituals such as communion, prayers, bible reading, etc.)
She responded:
"I'm speaking on a more basic level than that. We spell with our words, thoughts, feelings & actions. When you recognize the creative powers in those 4 verbs then you will do each of those things with purpose & that's where you harness your magic.
"You will have thoughts & feelings and execute them purposely instead of letting your thoughts & feelings have you. You'll be conscious of every word that comes out of your mouth and you'll get it when the bible speaks of being ensnared by your words & how life & death is in the power of the tongue. You'll put more or less energy into certain thoughts knowing that what you think about, you bring about & where your mind goes energy flows & you'll get it when the bible tells you to hold every thought captive. That epiphany happens when you recognize & realize how deep meditation is and how extremely important visualization is and it all makes sense when the bible tells you that people without vision will perish.
"And even all the nonsense about Jesus being your lord & savior, you'll realize that Jesus is a metaphor for your own Christ consciousness. Therefore, YOU are your own savior. The father, son & holy spirit is a metaphor for your ego self, conscious self & super conscious self. That God in the sky is YOU. We are all made up of stardust. What's in you is what's in me and the bible used the story of Jesus to tell you that if you believe in "him", you can do as he can do..... girl you done got me started 😁"😆
"The religious twist to the bible is that after it drops all these jewels on you, religious institutions still want you to believe that "God" is a diety outside & separate from yourself & that you must worship & petition "him" to grant your wishes but then they contradict themselves by telling you to declare a thing & it is yours. If you can declare it, then why ask an outside source that has the option of answering with NO?"

Ashera Star Goddess -- Doing Magick in Sacred Spaces

Update:

I found the video.

Doing Metaphysics in Sacred Places within Where We Reside

At about the 10:30 mark on the video, she discusses the subject matter.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgoVbEmLzaE

***
I cannot recall what video I viewed, but it mentioned that if we, habitually, where we live, do our ritual practices in one particular space -- a certain spiritual atmosphere will remain in that subject area. A more heightened spiritual communion/connection. I noticed that that's indeed true.

Sometimes I do my rituals out in nature, but I'm going to continue to habitually do my rituals in one set aside space where I reside.

Do any of you notice a heightened spiritual communion/connection when you habitually practice in one particular space where you reside?

***

Note: I understand that some folks don't have certain options in where they practice based on who they live with . . . Such folks find ways to practice, regardless of where . . .

Metaphysical Tools



Our metaphysical tools are alive/energetic, and should be treated as such. Recently, someone told me that her crystals weren't doing anything to help her. She said that she was wearing them but getting nothing from them.

I asked her if she spoke to her crystals endearingly, touched them affectionately, etc. She said, no. I shared with her that crystals have emotions, and that they can be like, "You're NOT just going to use us without giving to us in return." She responded that she'd never thought about that.

I talk endearingly with love and gratitude to my body parts, trees, plants, crystals, other metaphysical tools, etc. They are live energies . . .

I recall when Set Tehuti Heru shared that one of his crystals wasn't pleased with his neglect of it.

Typically, once a week, I have a date with my metaphysical tools NOT asking them for anything, but to give them a love and gratitude flow.

Universal rhythm is about energy EXCHANGES -- caring and SHARING.

***

Yes, it is possible to gain from crystals and other live energies without displaying affection towards them . . . Particularly, I believe that that holds true for beginners who don't know any better. When I learned better, I did better . . .

EXCHANGING energies provides the BEST results relative to alignment with universal rhythm.

Octopus

Octopus

Excerpt from subject article:

"Octopi are invertebrates, meaning they do not have a structured spinal column. This is symbolic of agility, grace and flexibility. She is able to slip out of the tightest places, and ambulate as if she is the embodiment of water itself. Take the time to observe the way the octopus moves - it's hypnotic. As a totem, the octopus reminds us to loosen up - relax. She reminds us that we may move towards our goals in unorthodox ways and still achieve the same (if not better) results."

Pentagram


For those inclined, I HIGHLY recommend DAILY doing the subject ritual. I got the info from Oshiri Isaa on FB.

THE LBRP.... Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram
The lower banishing ritual of the pentagram (LBRP) is an ancient technique that was popularized by Western occultists, even though its origin is far more primeval.

It uses the potent efficacy of the pentagram to clean the astral and ethereal body, while providing auric protection.

It can be found in Israel Regardie's book "The Tree of Life".

It invokes the four chief powers of creation around the personal space of the theurgist.

I can tell you from personal practice that it's a simple but very powerful daily ritual to incorporate into your life.

It is well known that the pentagram is the most powerful symbol because it holds the cipher to a superior spiritual entity. It is the dark ether operating through the four elements or four principles. The human body is a pentagram, once you stand feet apart with arms outstretched.

There is a reason five is prominent in the human body, five fingers, five toes, five holes in your face...etc.

The LBRP is simple and powerful, and will open your psychic sensibilities.

There is of course a deeper cypher that will be disclosed only upon advancement...

But the basic form as it is expressed in the book is a worthy start and will yield results.

March 1, 2018

Read the book, “Tree of Life”...it's all in there...

The LBRP is the most popular formula for using the pentagram... However it is used to invoke, evoke and banish spirits.

Geometric shapes are sound signatures of spiritual entities.
The pentagram is the most powerful.

March 3, 2018 -- From Oshiri

Learn to trace the pentagram, first with your fingers, then with your power of visualization.

Perfect this visual tracing of the pentagram because it is used to neutralize psychic attack.

Visualize it as a blazing bright star... surrounding you or projected at a target.

Mental tracing of geometric shapes is high magic and very powerful.

A link about the LBRP is below. FOR THOSE INCLINED, I HAVE IT IN TEXT FORM.


YouTube Video – “How to Perform the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram,” by E. A. Koetting

● Enter meditative state until you feel . . .

● Turn attention to breathing.

● Imagine yourself growing larger and larger – your spiritual body expanding beyond your home – larger than your city, larger than the earth until you find yourself looking over all of creation as if you have become the creator. The essence you want to connect with here is that of omniscience . You want to feel as if you can pluck the earth out of its orbit and hold it in your hands.

● Notice that even though you’re centered in existence and stand above creation that there’s a brilliant light above you which is the power and presence of divinity floating above your head like a cloud of light. Reach the dagger up into that cloud and pull the light down with it as you touch the tip of the dagger to your forehead.

Vibrate in saying the word ATAH, which means, “Unto thee”

Bring dagger to center of chest.
Vibrate in saying the word, MALKUTH, which means, “the kingdom”

Bring dagger to right shoulder
Vibrate in saying the word, VE’GEBURAH, which means, “and the power”

Bring dagger to left shoulder
Vibrate in saying, “VE’GEDULAH, which means, “and the glory”

Bring dagger to center of chest
Vibrate in saying the word, “LAY OLAM, AMEN, which means, “forever and ever”

Face East
Trace (in the air) a Pentagram with your dagger

● Visualize the Pentagram glowing with blue energy floating in the air.

● Fully activate the Pentagram by thrusting the dagger through the center of it and vibrating the god name

YOD HE VAV HE

● Step back to the center of the circle and give the sign of silence by placing your index finger over your lips.

Turn South pulling the energy of the eastern star with you, trailing a line of fiery power from the east to the south

Draw (in the air) Pentagram again, thrusting the dagger through it, and vibrate the name ADONAI

Return to the center of the circle and give the sign of silence by placing your index finger over your lips.

Turn West continuing to pull the energy with you.

Again, draw (in the air) the Pentagram before you, thrusting the dagger into the center and vibrating the god name EHEIEH

Give sign of silence by placing your index finger over your lips.

Turn North
Draw (in the air) the Pentagram, thrust dagger through the center

Vibrate god name AGLA

Return to the east and in your magical imagination, visualize the Pentagram around you connected by fiery energy forming a circle around you. Extend your arms out to your sides forming your body into the shape of the cross symbolic of the union between the physical and spiritual.

Call out:

“Before me, RAPHAEL”

“Behind me, GABRIEL”

“On my right hand, “MICHAEL”

“On my left hand, “AURIEL”

“Around me burns the Pentagram and within me shines the 6th great star.”

***

Lesser Banishing Pentagram Ritual (LBPR) can be performed before and after any ritual as well as at any point where you need to center and ground yourselves or banish unwanted forces.

Once you make initial contact, not only will you be able to call them forth with a more solid presence each time you call them, but you’ll also find that you can begin to eliminate redundancy in your rituals. In other words, it’s essential to understand that none of the spiritual phenomena is being generated by the ritual dagger, by the divine names or by anything other than yourself. You’re creating the lines of the Pentagram as well as the circle of power around you. You’re even creating the manifest forms of the arch angels as you structure them in each corner and call their names.

What you’re doing here is not praying to a divine figure to make these things happen – but instead you’re literally becoming a living god and commanding reality to obey you.

***

My, Sandra’s, notes about the video content:

I didn’t use a dagger; I used an Athame. But a regular knife can be used, as well.

That brief, relevant YouTube video is, in my opinion, to the point and yet, comprehensive. I really like it.

For folks who are committed, in earnest, to evolving metaphysically, I HIGHLY recommend the subject ritual -- the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram (LBRP). So far, I've done it for three days and already have noticed ascension within. I don't do precisely as he mentions in the video as far as the WORDING in who he instructs to call out to. I call on my righteous, transitioned relatives and my ancestors, etc. I mix it up. Today, I called out to my mother, grandmother, High John the Conqueror and Nelson Mandela. So, as I'm guided within, I'll call on the assorted subject spirits. Tomorrow, when I do the Pentagram ritual, I’ll likely call on spirits other than who I called on today . . . or maybe I’ll call on some of the same spirits as I did today as today but add different ones, too. It all depends on the moments . . . as guided within.

One exception is, when he, in the subject video, calls on four arch angels. I keep that aspect intact and call on those same arch angels.

Also, I added a few additional steps as far as movements, beyond what he does in the video.

Birthday, Full Moon Day -- Calendar April 30, 2018


Hi -

Before 6 a.m., today, my birthday, I took this photo of the Moon. I took the photo in the Mercury hour.

Notice on the left of the photo that there is a star next to the Moon. I've taken plenty of photos of the Moon and never got one with a star in the photo. Also, striking that it's on the left side of the Moon. I'm left handed, y'all.

Love and gratitude extends to SOURCE, Most High for this priceless birthday message.

P.S. Since I've become metaphysical, this is the first full Moon season that I've recognized to be on my birthday. I was born on Moon day, Monday, too. :)

Update:

Ooh, ooh, y'all, I looked it up. That's not a star. It's Jupiter.

Excerpt from article:

"These next several evenings – April 28-30, 2018 – watch for a brilliant “star” close to the very bright moon. It's no star at all, but the giant planet Jupiter, largest world in our solar system. The April 29 full moon will be close to Jupiter, and the April 30 moon even closer. With or without the moon, you'll find Jupiter climbing into ..."
