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.

28 Day Working, Day 22 with updates

Posted in Rituals and Workings with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on 04/16/2017 by Keona-Mlh

This is my last week!!!!!!!

Holy shit. I didn’t think I could do it honestly. But with scheduling the posts, it actually gave me more freedom to really get in an do my thang. Some of the rituals I did around 10 pm or later, so I damn sure wasn’t going to blog about it later lol.

But they came out and it was amazing. OK, so let me see whats been happening from last week and beyond. So the ritual and invocation to Satan was amazing, had me wide open. Then I did an invocation to Belial and Hecate and he yelled at me, and she made me cry lol. Like damn!!!!!! Tf! So when it came time for Lilith, I am like, scared at this point lmao! Like dude, I can’t take mom whooping my ass, she always tends to be more hands on as a parent lol!!!! But it wasn’t that bad, lol. The full moon ritual with Selene was pretty damn amazing. Never did something so long in my life lol, but I really enjoyed it. And honestly, I have no idea why or where she came from, but she popped in my mind. That means she is on her way into my pantheon. I just love it when they do this. It makes me feel really special, like holy shit, I must really be doing something right you know.

I was looking at all the tarot cards I pulled and started reading my interpretations of them, and man, once you see how they read you can totally understand why they yelled at me and brought out those emotions. It is all part of the breaking down and rebuilding process. No one said this shit would be easy, but to pass that threshold and achieve higher lengths, we have to fight through what holds us back. And 9 times out of 10, it is us. We are the ones cursing ourselves, making it bad on ourselves and shit. Well I know it is some people who are total dicks and damn near 100% of it is done by other people lol!!!!! But for the most part, we do it to ourselves. I think that makes it easier to fix since you KNOW the problem.

I am on day 3 of the Posiedon ritual and it is intense. Clarification, wisdom, showing emotional tides and just a connection to all. I did an invocation to Flereous and that was pretty good. I wasn’t sure what to expect but all I can say is a strong elemental current hit me and I will be adding him to my elemental pathworking. The images where just way to strong. It got my creative juices flowing and I was just tearing it up last night. Talk about lighting a fire under my ass lol!

So on to today’s workings. I will continue my reading of the Tarot (as they are getting really good at identifying and syncing to me), the Goetia is going smooth (I have around 6 or so to do before class next Sunday), and I have my reviews next to me ready to be scheduled. Well the ones I already done.

Today is really light besides the above, as I have also included an invocation to Verrine.

Now it is on to me to schedule the rest of the week and prepare for the finale of my 28 days! I must do this again. Seriously. I also suggest that people look for other Occultists/Magicians who offer workings and do it. You would be surprised at how good it feels to do workings every day, especially if you don’t or don’t do as much as you would like to, or feel comfortable doing. Get out that zone!!!!

Go find one of your favorite books and work through them, go on amazon and find these chap books, ask your friends what books would they recommend you to work through. If you can’t find inspiration from your friends and colleagues, then it is time to drop them and keep it moving. Harsh? Maybe. But why would you want to be around people who don’t move, stagnation is not something a Magician should be surrounded by.

*And no…not every friend has to be a magician, but for fucks sake…keep people around you who challenge you to better yourself. Hell it can be to go hiking or try a new sport, but keep people around you who grow and make your life worth living! Not the thousands of fucking cocksuckers who are miserable as shit and try to bring you down to their level. Grow, spread your wings. and fucking shine!!!!!!*

 

245 Day Working! TF am I smoking?!?!?

Posted in Important Posts with tags , , , , , on 04/15/2017 by Keona-Mlh

Nothing. No seriously I am completely sober. Well…ok slightly drunk…but still coherent.

This really isn’t an honest to goddess pathworking with rituals everyday. What this is, is me improving myself. I had a session with my guardian and he pretty much reemed my ass. Lol. There is a huge wedge between my spiritual work and my mundane life.  I thought it was good but apparently I was wrong like shit. What this 28 day working is telling me, is that I still have a lot of shit to overcome, and I need to find a better way of fitting my practice into my schedule. I mean I do things everyday, but apparently that is shitty. So off to create a new schedule.

To get this started, I talked to my guardian for like an hour or 3, and pretty much brought down all the books from my bedroom and basement and placed them on my dining room table. Sophie was not to happy about that, since they surrounded her food bowl. Go fig. But I wrote down everything that I have and am currently working on. After a good back and forth and me listening, and being read, and listening, and listening again, I organized everything into 4 categories as requested, in which 2 of them are high priority.  The 2 can take a back seat right now.

Once those were ID’d, I then grabbed one of my many blank spiral notebooks (seriously I should buy stock in Staples) and proceeded to write down the things that need to get done, what I hope to accomplish with them, and the beginning of a daily and weekly schedule. I mean shit- I need to say my prayers every morning and night- not when I remember them. I need to incorporate yoga, walking, psychic building and meditation time in everyday. I need to be consciously eating and not just mindlessly eating. I need to feed my brain more (and that is going to be a feat). I need to make sure my spiritual and mundane life is one. Because, like they said, “You are doing a shitty job”.

I do have the idea of working with the Necronomicon deck during this time. At first, I was going to pull 2 cards a week and work under their influence. Then I scrapped that because it didn’t fit. So secondly I was going to work with one card a day and let it guide me like I am doing now. But that didn’t fill right either. Then, lol, I was like hmmmm…I took that tarot class last month so maybe I will just practice my readings with the Necro deck. It is attuned to me and my deep subconscious so this may be a better option. (See…it pays to attend as meaning classes as you can. Never know when it may come in handy!)

I have everything sitting in its separate area. I still need to put more books together and I need a few book bags to make sure all the books and binders and whatnot, are put away properly. And to give you a glimpse to what I am talking about, I have:

11 binders, 7 composition books, 6 empty spiral notebooks, 18 reading and working books, shit load of lancets, daggers, clay, pens/pencils/markers/, tape, scissors, hand sanitizer, stickies, hole puncher, candles and etc. LOL!

Needless to say my candle supply is becoming really low. Like I have enough to finish the month out, maybe a couple of weeks into May. So you know what that means, I have to make a list of candles, herbs, and other items to get up to carry me for a few months and then make another run. I mean I am going to be very irked doing my workings in the summer, because I already generate a lot of heat. We don’t turn the AC on till June (we all know how bipolar the weather is), so I can always go into my basement where it is cool year round lol, and relax. Matter of fact the basement is about to get a makeover.

I can say this, being back in my parents house is weird. I never imagined being a divorcee at 36 and back in school lol. I mean shit! What this experience has taught me was that I really don’t know myself, or those I were in a relationship with, or my parents; and I am glad to be back with them so we can learn each other (I mean I left home at 17, joined the military and 20 years later I am back!) I have been through a lot. There were experiences that I needed to get me to where I am now. I am grateful to be able to even come home to the support of my family. Besides, I really do believe in communal living. Times are tough and we need all the help and support we can get. I guess I am getting nervous with my parent’s getting older as well. Who wouldn’t really? So I really wouldn’t move far away. Well maybe far away were we won’t bug each other, but close enough where I can either catch a flight or drive home if need be. Plus I get to help my mother make her own portable altar so you know I am hype about that!

My path is medicine (spiritual and mundane). My gods are all healers, or death related, and enlightenment and also in a place where they are all about understanding the depths of a person. I didn’t take all those psych classes for no reason, just another degree I want to obtain as it works directly on my mundane and especially the spiritual path. It is amazing when you see things clearly for the first time, in a long time. Now I have till the end of the year to get myself in a good practice, to slow down and make sure that I am really becoming who I AM and not what I think I am you know. Not rushing anything, not beating myself up and just immersing myself in all aspects in my life. I need everything to be seamless.

I do have some crazy ass projects coming up, and I will fill you in later. I have some reviews coming up as well and maybe a reworking of this blog and my other one. My drop some categories, combine and/or add…I swear man, this is going to be a challenge that is going to wreck my nerves lol. But it is all worth it.

I mean I need to be able to: do my school work, my spiritual work, tend to my classes and students, work on my relationships, enjoy me off time and finish Season 12 of Supernatural. Put a dent in my Netflix and Hulu queue, get reacquainted with my PS3 and 4, and 360 and Wii. With the Wii I will be bowling like a champ lol!

I mean, gosh, time does fly when you are trying to shake the world and put your stamp on it 🙂

Book Reviews

Posted in Important Posts with tags , , , on 04/14/2017 by Keona-Mlh

I was taking a breather between workings, as I am packed down lol, and I decided to go through my book reviews. I am a little disappointed, I have only put up 20 book reviews, even though i have literally read hundreds. So that shit is about to change.

I should be able to put up the occult reading books quicker, but as far as books that are made to work through, instead of just reviewing them, I will work through them and then put everything up there. I thin that is a better way for me to review the material, to make sure it was easy to follow, and all residuals that will happen and if it is even wise to keep some books in your home. I know my Necronomicon hasn’t been touched since 2003. So yeah shit like that lol.

I have 6 that need to go up, and most likely the ones that are already p will be down again as they are books to work through not to collected and put on your self. I do have markings in all my working books, and stickies, and preparations. So I work through my shit, I just do too much at a time and will be slowing that down lol. I would like to get through 2 working books a year and at least 10 books reviewed a year.

Seems easy, but with medical school, family life, a 245 day working coming up (yes, I am really about to do it, I will explain it more), and 6 Orders and 11 path workings that need to be rewritten and worked through; it will be a very delicate balance. Not including making sure I can work back in research and keeping up with the advances in medical for my chosen field. It is a hectic thing, but I love it!

I should start posting the reviews I already did probably within the next few weeks, but that is no guarantee lol.

28 Day Working, Day 9

Posted in Rituals and Workings with tags , , , , , , , , on 04/03/2017 by Keona-Mlh

On here comes Alloces! I swear I think I am more giddy as the day goes by.  I mean it is Monday and I am actually stoked! Weird huh lol. Anyways we know what the deal is with my Goetia and my tarot. And I will add that the tarot will be finish up around the same time that this working is, convenient huh?

Today is Liliths’ workings, and Goddess class revamping. Lord knows I really need to revamp these feminine mystique classes. All of the cultures need a major attunment, and I need to put together the assignments a little better. The first go through was really wonderful and I know where I can improve.

This is all today, women power, and then my sisters Coven. It is a lady’s day after all!

What day is next…..!
