Female Goddess of my Pantheon

Posted in Important Posts with tags , , , , on 01/22/2018 by Keona-Mlh

I fuck with a lot of Dark Goddesses. I can’t help it, I am a lovable person lol.

Nah, but for real though. When I was younger, around 3-7 Lilith, Hecate, The Morrigan, Persephone, and Rhiannon was around me, maybe even a little later than that.

Through out my practices I found myself working with quite a hefty array of Goddesses, from all different pantheons, cultures, however you want to call it. It has been fun and rewarding, as well as physically exhausting and hurtful. Lilith and Hecate like to throw books at me, mainly because I am hardheaded. Or a bitch slap out of a sleep, whatever gets me awake at that moment lol. My list is not that long to me I feel.

Lilith

Nephyths

Sekhmet

Hecate

Persephone/Kore

Rhiannon

Frejya

Kali Ma

Inanna

Auset

Serqet

Gremory

Quan Yin

Oshun

Ishtar

Yemaja

Arachne

The Morrigan and her triple aspects

Naamah

Selene

They each have helped me when I was going on different paths of my practices. When I needed them, or strength they called out to me, or I called to them which was around Helping me when I ask, and i always make sure they are honored. I cannot wait to get my dark goddess altar set up.

The main women, or feminine energy I work with is Lilith (my spiritual mother), Sekhmet (my Matron) and Hecate (my adoptive spiritual mother). They each hold a place in my heart and they have helped me to see more of myself than I ever have before. And for that I am forever grateful. I serve them with respect and love at all times. With heavy hitters like this, how can you not. They will either break you, or make you realize who you are, they don’t play around with the weak and those who are scared to work with them. They don’t like pussy ass women, and they will devour you if you are to weak to call on them. I have seen people scared of Sehkmet, but want her protection but can’t meet her eye to eye. You can’t be afraid when you are one with these energies.

Current Occult Practices

Posted in Important Posts with tags , on 01/18/2018 by Keona-Mlh

This year I have a lot of workings that need to be done. Last year I did a meditation that unleashed a lot of work that still needs to be done so I made a diagram of it. I am not going to show you it because it has other personal info up there, but I will give you a rundown of my workings.

January, I am just prepping for the rest of the year and getting my affairs in order. So, what I am doing is an 11-day working with the Temple of Ascending Flame. I am also doing a tarot challenge with my tarot group as well.

February, I will be doing psychic and blood workings with my boyfriend, in addition to working on another 30-day challenge

March brings me to shadow working with Hecate

April is blood workings and tantric workings with Lilith.

July, I will be working more in-depth with the 9 divinities (Daemonaltry)

August my Necromantic workings will become heavier

September, I start a couple of Priesthood trainings.

October and November are more of Lilith workings.

I have a shit more of things I am doing within each month like mini workings, 3-7-day workings, tons of celebrations and classes that I need to schedule for my students. I keep myself busy, and I am always doing something constructive. I live my craft, it isn’t a weekend thing to me. It is built into everything that I do, and it may be exhausting work, but it is so worth it when your work manifests and pays off.

26 Occult Books I want to Read this year

I decided to get back on my reading challenges. One of my friends added me to a group she created called 52 books, and I used that as my challenge for how many books I will read for the Goodreads challenge. I want to do this as a minimum. I have over 6,000 books in various formats that I want to get through. I mean I have a lot of shit to read lol. But this year I have 26 occult works that I really want to get through. When I mean Occult, I mean grimoires, Dark Art workings, nonfiction, Eastern Disciplines, all the New Age shit and what not.  Here is my list. Now I have a lot more, but there are just the ones that I want to start or reread, or even finish this year.

If I can read more of them, than I will. I want to come back in 6 months and see how far I have gotten. That will help me figure out the other books I want to read.

 

 

Lilith Dark Feminine Archetype by Temple of Ascending Flame

I have been looking forward to this book since it was announced. Lilith is, after all my Spiritual Mother. I also contributed to this work, which is on page 17 (shameless plug). I just finished reading it this morning and I loved it all. I will actually go through the rituals during my sign of Scorpio. What better way to work with Lilith then during the time of Scorpio.

So let’s jump right in. This book comes in hardcover and paper book, 162 pages, with the rest being a list of books available which I always love when authors include them. There are 19 essays, rituals, poems, experiences, and guided meditations in this book. They are very wonderful in just reading, Plus you get to get a feel of each practitioner and how they related to the goddess, feel their experience and then try their rituals out for yourself. I will only point out a few of the rituals.

Fire and Lust by Asenath Mason and Rev Bill Duvendack brings you into the world of Lilith and her consort, one of many, Asmodeus (who is my spiritual Father so I was really excited when I was reading this). The invocation of these two will have your creative juices really rolling when you engage in this ritual. It can be done alone or with a partner, and the energy that is amassed and utilized in a productive manner will bring a lot of fruition to those performing it.

The Vase of Lilith by Nemo V, is a ritual that brings or pulls in the energy of Lilith with each offering giving. I actually decided to try a small version of it today. It worked out perfectly!

Invocation of Lilith bu Katie Anderson is a beautiful ritual to connect to that fire deep within, and Lilith helps you to release it. This ritual was very beautiful and so is the picture that she created as well.

Black Moon Lilith by Mike King is an invocation in becoming one with the Goddess and having her show you exactly what is needed to help you grow. When she joins with you, you will never be able to look at the world again in the same light, and that is worth it in itself.

There are a quite a few more rites, rituals both 7 and 5 days, and path workings, and even more with essays of deep knowledge about Lilith, and her mysterious origins. Reading the poems and the experiences that these practitioners have had with Lilith and how they communicate with her, is a feeling that I cannot put into words.

I already do my own workings with Mother, but I can’t wait to give the rituals and path workings in this book a run through. I schedule my workings and so I have enough time to get the materials and can actually have time for them. So this I will be looking forward to towards the Veil becoming thinner.

5 out of 5 as this is a complete grimoire of workings that will keep you busy for a few.

Yoga Anatomy by Leslie Kaminoff and Amy Matthews

I remember I picked this boo up last year, like in September of so and after reading a few pages I sat it back down. I didn’t want to read another A&P book. And my first thought was this is another damn textbook and I am burnt out from school. But I decided to give it another go after asking my boyfriend which yoga book I should read. He choose this one and I figured, hey, why not give it a shot again. I am glad I did.

I only have a year of A&P under my belt and I did find it a little distracting trying to remember all the medical names of the bones and muscles and tendons in the body, and not to mention the terminology for yoga that I am not really familiar with. But that didn’t deter me, I kept on moving forward, flipping back if I needed to see what a word meant.

What I like about this book is that it goes through a pretty in-depth explanation of all the muscles and how they relate to a particular asana. What this book contains is 276 pages, 11 chapters of anatomy and how it relates to the individuals body and the basic principles behind them. Within the 11 chapters 6 of them are divided by asanas (standing, sitting, kneeling, supine, prone and arm support) which makes it easy for me, personally, to figure out which asanas I want to start with and how to divide them up and combine them on certain days of practice.

With the breakdown of how the muscles act with the body I can understand the positions better, being that I am in the medical field and I always want to have good blood flow to the tissues and the rest of my body this was actual a perfect read for me to start my year off with. I will and can be more mindful of how I stretch and what positions I put my body into. Be more cautious of pulling or pushing myself, and understanding it isn’t about touching my forehead to the floor, but more about giving my spine the stretch that it needs. I can also focus more on my breathing when it comes to certain positions and how to really breathe correctly.

I took quite a few notes from this book, and with a couple weeks practice, I will have a very easy , and body friendly yoga practice that I can commit to and not overdo. I have a tendency to overdo things. A lot lol.  I have always wanted to do yoga and this book was the perfect stepping stone for me to start my practice.

I totally recommend this book if you want to understand how the muscles in your body and bones and breathing work with one another in your different asanas.
