She will come girt with the sword of freedom, and before her kings and priests will tremble and cities and empires will fall, and she will be called BABALON, the scarlet woman….And women will respond to her war cry, and throw off their shackles and chains, and men will respond to her challenge, forsaking the foolish ways and the little ways, and she will shine as the ruddy evening star in the bloody sunset of Gotterdamerung, will shine as a morning star when the night has passed, and a new dawn breaks over the garden of Pan

Evocation Work

templearckanum:

Summoning Daemons or other spirits is an art form that requires strong rudimentary foundation in other forms Magikal practice. Spend at least a year learning the basics of banishing, energy control, protection Magik, going into altered states of consciousness at will, seeing aura and another 3-years learning talisman and amulet creation while still practicing all of the other things you learned your first year and another year learning to work with servitor spirits (temporary spirits that you create with your own aura that disappear after a certain a designated of time, dictated by the caster as apart of their construction), casting spells and using thought forms before attempting evocation. Also, learn the essential mundane arts of juggling, drawing, sculpture, marionette and glove puppet making, making plaster molds and casting in latex and silicone rubbers in the mix of that. They’re all very instrumental and never leave a single one of these practices out before you do your first evocation. You must also have successful results to track yourself. Doing these things but being unskilled in them doesn’t count and do them in that order, as the training is cumulative (meaning that every level prepares you for the next).

Or don’t. Fuck things up. Make mistakes. Get hurt. Learn the hard way. Take the fast track. Be the Fool. 

Jump.

Real magick has no safety net.

“This block originally formed part of a screen wall that connected the four front columns and the sidewalls of the temple of Harendotes (“Horus the Avenger”) on the island of Philae. The relief represents the “Baptism of Pharaoh”, a purification ritual that was part of Egyptian coronation ceremonies. The ibis-headed god Thoth is seen pouring water, represented by streams of ankh (life) and was (dominion) hieroglyphs, over the head of the king. The pharaoh is a Claudian emperor, probably Claudius or Nero. Metropolitan Museum of Art.”
