Witness am I unto the Dawn of my own Light.The idea behind this thread is to attract other high-level witches to discuss their practices, and for lesser-experienced individuals to lurk and ask (hopefully) genuine questions. I primarily borrow from the Cultus Sabbati and the 218/182 Current.My journey started from a young age - as early as I can remember I have had an interest in the paranormal. As I grew older, and my sight narrowed into adolscence, I became obsessed with conspiracy theories; you name a theory and I had some unconventional take on it, from 9/11 to the Royal Order of the Jessters to Anderson Cooper's Mesopotamian Death Cult, and I wanted so badly to take it all down. I was going to be the John Wick to Marc Dutroux and all of his colleagues. As I've grown older and gone through many different things in life, meeting different people from all levels of society, I have begun to see the world in an unmolested way, similar to when I was a child. There is no big-bad that will be taken down to bring the world anew; there is just existence.My work lately has been learning the secret names of the Black in Green and channeling their sigils, and I have a giant piece of cloth used to cover dead bodies that I plan on making a giant Gateway for The Witch Mother and Witch Father through Oreb Zereq. What does your journey look like? Would you consider yourself to be an "advanced" practicioner? What are you working on right now?Salve Qayin Ben Samael! Khaire Hekate!
>>42485943>"anti-cosmic satanism">"qliphotic"Great. More gay shit.
>>42486017NAA 218 has the most comprehensive Qabalistic system available since Kenneth Grant, don't get filtered by the exoteric terms they employ. It's not a system for everyone, I agree, and I'm not trying to limit this thread to any one practice.
>>42486045Bro, you done filtered yourself before I even got here. Overworked and overthought "LHP" for wannabe galaxybrains.
>>42486079What system do you prefer?
>>42485943Reminder that the mage with no internal power is impotentBorrowing has associated costs/debtsAlways best to cultivate & use your own power & intent

Awww... Just drink some Ayahuasca and get over yourself.
>>42487011Perhaps I should have elaborated a bit more in the OP, but the reason I called this thread 'Advanced' is because something like cultivating your own will is pretty elementary. Practicing magic isn't for everyone, and it isn't supposed to be. If you want to actually practice and experiment, then it is pretty useful to use tried and proved methods that exist in other currents.
>>42487266This is pretty standard Dao teachings and beneficial to anyone who practices or not. What you're able to achieve in these states is another thing entirely.
>>42487381>>42487266WHAT IS STILLNESS?
https://mega.nz/folder/Qw0yASKZ#OWO3WZ7vNIoMO4I1ILlj5A>Some shitty old grimoires
>>42487361eh, but magick is its own thing and "advanced" is a wider category than just magickreally magick boils down to being able to affect the probability distribution of the wave functionthere's tons of work to be done before having this level of potentialmany attempt to take the easy way with this and borrow in order to have access to the requisite potentialbut when borrowing, repayment is pretty much always for dessertsimply understanding that the chi springs forth from the jing is important to reach any sort of advanced levelsthis translates to the initial work all going towards fortifying the jing, which can then express chi in a more robust manner
>>42487439You're overthinking it. Stillness is just being still.
>>42487439>WHAT IS STILLNESS?its the way to build gungyang cultivations dont build much yinbut the interesting thing about yin is that when it is bolstered, yang easily rises to match its levelstillness is best when cultivated right down to the neurological levelthis means restraining the sensessense processing generates neurological potentials that convey the messageso sensing a lot, consumes a not insignificant amount of energybut without altering that baseline to a very low consumption level, one can never know just how muchwhen one does though, it is pretty surprising how muchthis is why refine the breaththe other part of this is that these potentials directly contribute to the energy potential that feeds the ruminating mindmeaning the better one is at attenuating the sense potentials, the easier it will be to attain advanced meditative states, which very much rely on the practitioner's ability to maintain focus
>>42487467"Beinf able to affect the probability distribution of the wave function"This kind of nonsense verbal diarrhea is another reason why I made this thread. You are speaking nonsense here. It is tautological to speak on cultivation of these metaphysical energies just in order to cultivate more spiritual energies. Yes, these are basic principles of magic, and the advanced principles are your application of and efficiency in cultivating whatever you're trying to achieve. Sticking your nose up at other systems because they way they are presented exoterically is silly, because this is a thread where it should be obvious all exoteric texts are not readily accessible or decipherable to the layman.
>>42487450There are some actually interesting things in here. I really have a hard time commiting to reading PDFs, but I would recommend this to anyone who does read them. I've spent too much money on real books I haven't read yet anyways lol
>>42487536>This kind of nonsense verbal diarrhea is another reason why I made this thread.you could just admit that you didnt understand these fancy words and ask for clarificationquantum mechanics is an integral part of the universe, and you are a brainlet that doesnt understand them big words
>>42487647The thing is, I do have a cursory understanding of quantum mechanics, and you are trying to use ten cent words to describe the law of attraction and the principle of 'as above so below'. The invocation of "the wave function" and "the observer effect" is very low tier stuff, raped by pseudo-new agers
Bumping with relevant pictures. Very prescient poem.
This is the Al-Hamra Cube, found in Saudi Arabia. It displays religous symbolism from Egyptian, Mesopotamian, and local ancient Saudi tribes. I found this from a post by an anon on here claiming it was the most hidden photo on earth. Clearly not true, at least anymore, but something instantly jumped out to me about this post at the time. I suspect it has to do with child sacrifice, possibly even a relic from the biblical story of Moses returning to the Israelites worshipping a Golden Calf.How do you feel about the connections between Yahweh and Jovian Deities? >Melchizedek (Melki-Tzedeq) means something akin to Priest King of Jupiter. >Zeus, Yahweh, Jove (Latin Pron. Yo-weh)>Mithras, often associated with Christ and Solar worship as Mithras Sol Invictus, has vedic/aryan roots where his role is more delegated to being the Lord of Contracts and being responsible for the Good Rains.
>>42487683>you are trying to describe the law of attraction and the principle of 'as above so below'I'm not at all trying to do thatat root, things that happen all have probabilities that they will happen or notbeing able to augment these probabilities requires power/effort/etcyou could have bitched that it was at root the basic way magick happensbut to call it verbal diarrhea is zoomer tier bitching and moaning
>>42485943I will just post a Trataka guideSit in a comfortable meditative asana, in a dark room in which there is no draught or breeze. Place a lighted candle at eye level, directly in front of the eyebrow centre, at arm’s length.Make sure that the wick is perfectly straight and that the flame is motionless.Straighten the spine, close the eyes and relax the body.Be aware of the physical body only. Let it become as still as a statue.From this time on you should try to keep the body absolutely motionless throughout the whole practice.When you are prepared, open your eyes and gaze steadily at the tip of the wick. With practise you should be able to gaze steadily at the flame without blinking or moving the eyeballs. Two to three minutes is sufficient.The whole of your consciousness must become centred in the flame, to the extent that awareness of the rest of the body and the room is lost. The gaze should be absolutely fixed at the tip of the wick. When the eyes become tired or if they begin to water, close them and relax.Do not move the body, but be aware of the after-image of the flame in front of the closed eyes.Everyone has looked into the sun or a bright light, and on closing the eyes for a few minutes, has seen the clear impression of that light on the retina of the eye. Likewise, the after-image of the candle flame will be clearly visible.You should practise trataka on this image, holding it directly in front or a little above the eyebrow centre.Keep the eyes closed. If the image moves up or down, or from side to side, observe it and try to stabilize it, without straining.When you are sure the image has appeared and faded for the last time, then open the eyes and continue to concentrate on the external candle flame.After the last round, gaze into the emptiness for a few seconds then practise palming
>>42488238Time of practice: The best times to practise trataka are the dark hours of the very early morning or late at night. At these times, the atmosphere becomes very still and quiet, not only the physical atmosphere, but also the mental and psychic atmospheres. In this stillness, success in trataka is readily attained.Duration: Trataka can be practised as time permits, but five to fifteen minutes is the usual period in the beginning, building up to thirty minutes gradually over a period of time. Two to three minutes per round is sufficient to spend gazing at the flame.Contraindications: Trataka on a flame is not recommended for myopia, astigmatism, cataract or glaucoma. and do not over do itBenefits: Trataka has many physical, mental and spiritual benefits. Physically, it corrects eye weaknesses and defects such as nearsightedness. Mentally, it increases nervous stability, removes insomnia and relaxes the anxious mind.When the eyes are fixed and unmoving, the mind becomes steady and calm. It helps to develop good concentration and strong willpower. Spiritually it awakens ajna chakra.
>>42488253Variations: Trataka can be practised on a small dot, the full moon, the rising sun, a shadow, a crystal ball, the nose tip, an image in water, a yantra, darkness, a shivalingam and many other things.Those who have a personal deity can practise trataka on his or her form and those who have a guru can practise on his or her photograph. Trataka can also be practised on one’s own image in the mirror, or the eyes of another person. These should, however, only be done under the guid ance of a guru, as there are certain risks involved.Avoid practising trataka on the sun as the delicate membranes of the eyes may be damaged.There are two divisions of trataka, bahiranga (outer) and antaranga (inner). The methods mentioned so far are allpart of bahiranga trataka. Inner trataka (antaranga) is internal visualization, perhaps of a chakra, a yantra or your personal deity. The eyes remain closed throughout.One of the best inner objects for concentration is a tiny star or point of light.https://youtu.be/NSmukdqyvjU?si=zCD7eeosflB7oRjX
>>42488238>>42488253Thank you for this, anon. I have read a little bit of the Pali Canon and am somewhat familiar with different schools of Buddhism, the Vedas, and other misc Eastern Metaphysics. The similarities in Qabalistic techniques is especially fascinating. I've been reading Aryeh Kaplan's book translating and explaining the Sefer Yetzirah, and a lot of the more intense rites of invoking a golem require pronouncing combinations of the Hebrew alphabet for anywhere from 8 to 72 hours with total devotion. I personally like to do a similar technique to what you posted here, only I stare at a mirror behind my altar in a dark candle lit room
/apg/ is for astral projection general. pick another set of letters.
I think DND is a more robust occult practice than eastern Qi gong and whatever the fuck else.Tbh
>>42488253>doesnt include if you do it too often you will harm your eyes
>>42488208its not my fault you zoomers were taught halfassed on purpose

Enjoy playing in your spiritual sewer!
>>42488966They literally do mention this? Lmao
>>42487533checked againsilly question perhabs, but do you have any book recommendations?
>>42487266qigong is not calisthenics. It is working with the meridians. What you are describing is Neigong, working with the inner essence moving outward, and it is indeed the path, but not this jewish witch bullshit.
>>42487497Not quite. To be completely still is unnatural, and if you could do it, you would be dead. The key is to seek the stillness in motion and, and motion in stillness. Whole body breathing.
If anyone here is actually interested in building energy or internal power, Mark Rasmus has hundreds of free videos on youtube. His basic building the ball exercise leads to advanced neigong practice. Fuck your left hand path kike witchcraft bullshit.
>>42487315Why is that picture saved on your hard drive?
Here is an advanced practice only ascended masters are able to do- Visualize a rotating apple in your mind
