Most people today know the enneagram as a pop-psychology typology — nine “personality types” on a neat diagram. But that isn’t what Gurdjieff taught. For him, the enneagram was a cosmic engine: a living glyph of process, transformation, and the laws that govern change.
What follows is both a primer on the enneagram’s esoteric roots and a practical ritual for walking it as a path of power. Think of it as stepping inside the machine, letting it run, and coming out the other side transformed...

The origins of Katakamuna are as shrouded in mystery as the symbols themselves, reportedly surfacing in 1949 when a researcher named Narasaki Kototama was approached by a mysterious man at the Kotakane Shrine in Japan. This stranger, appearing as a guardian of the shrine, allegedly showed Narasaki a set of ancient scrolls that contained a series of 80 circular geometric patterns. These scrolls were claimed to be remnants of a lost, prehistoric civilization—the Katakamuna people—who existed...
In light of a recent post, I wanted to post my own version of a Cord Cutting Ritual (also works for energetic severing. Kindly remove if an unhelpful post):
1x Length of any black or white string/twine
1x Pair of scissors
1x Black Candle (optional
1x Black or White Candle
1x Heatproof dish (optional)
1x Image of the person in mind, or any target marker (image, hair, visualization etc.)
Method:
1: On one end tie a knot to represent yourself, on the other side - another knot that you...
I made a newbie mistake and posted some info on Shikigami in another thread. Pretty soon I will be posting more information I have obtained from a Tendai monk that took college classes on Onmyodo, as well as some methods he learned from Yoshida Hojutsu.
I am totally getting as much as I can ready. It is important to understand that a lot of Onmyodo is a modern reconstruction in Japan. There is pretty much no written down -exact- instructions, so a lot of modern practitioners are doing what...
Let’s face it: blood makes for a great aesthetic, but between pricked fingers, stained grimoires, and the constant risk of looking like an extra in a B-list horror movie, it’s becoming a bit impractical.
The truth is, blood is just the courier; what we’re actually after is the package it carries: Vitae (I almost feel like an intellectual as I write it). If you’re ready to stop bleeding for every minor sigil and start working with surgical precision on your energetic signature, here is how...
Remix of Aidan Wachter's Feverstone and Josephine McCarthy's Quaeria Module 2 Lesson 5
Today is 9th of November! start of mercury retrograde and in spirit of it, let me go back to previous stuff I worked with and tie some loose ends. From here with my conversation with @caput-larvae.
On December 5, 1791, Benjamin Banneker wrote the following entry in his dream journal: [...] I forthwith went to the man and requested of him to inform me place of beginning of the limits that Rasannah...
Hey all,
So I've been deep in the weeds on the Abramelin lately and then this news drops — Boleskine House, after a seven-year renovation, has finally opened its doors to the public. For those who don't know why that matters to this conversation — it's literally the house Crowley bought in 1899 specifically to perform the Abramelin Operation. The place he never finished it. So yeah, felt like the universe was throwing me a sign to write this post.

🜂 John Dee was a man of boundaries.
Between the visible and the invisible.
Between numbers and symbols.
Between Word and silence.
For him, science, magic, and faith were not opposites, but three faces of the same Truth.
☉ Born in London on July 13, 1527, under the sign of Leo, Dee embodies the solar energy of Tiphereth, the heart of the Tree of Life. The son of a...
I came across an article that I found genuinely interesting and somewhat amusing, and I thought it would be worth sharing here in translation.
The text was written by a priest from an Umbanda temple in Brazil, reflecting on his personal experiences with various Western initiatory orders. What caught my attention wasn’t just the subject itself, but the way he describes the internal tensions, contradictions, and occasional conflicts he encountered along the way.
I tend to be quite critical...
Before you proceed:
In my framework of magical thinking, the magician is part of an ecosystem of spirits.
Within this system, the magician seeks to establish meaningful connections grounded in mutual trust, respect, curiosity, and playfulness.
In the following ritual, you will put your shadow into an egg. Once hatched, the egg will contain an oracle that will guide you forward.

Part I: the shadow
On an evening where you feel particularly moody and grim, take pen and paper and...
Anyone got any recommendation for some occult youtubers if any
Dizzy claimer: whether you believe the Enns are millennia old secret invocations, or a 20th century invention doesn't matter. The fact is that all over the world there are people like you (and some like me) who use these chants to establish contact with spirits. And, whether you believe these spirits are demons or misunderstood poor overthrown gods or something else entirely depending on your mood doesn't matter either. And finally, whether you believe these words are made up and just sound...
[Tutorial] ̷B̷i̷b̷l̷i̷o̷m̷a̷n̷c̷y̷ Bibliurgy — Doing Magick With Books: An overlooked and underrated magickal paradigm
Some months ago, I sort of hinted that I was planning to share some methods of sorcery that I personally use. Originally, I wanted to write a book, and that is still the plan, but lord knows when I'll ever get around to that, so I am going to write a series of threads about the topics I wish to discuss. Obviously, even that is pretty delayed. I was supposed to write this thread months ago. Also note, they may not appear in the order that they will appear in the book, or generally speaking...
Astral larvae (also called energy parasites) are low-vibration entities that, according to various esoteric and spiritual traditions, attach themselves to people's etheric bodies or auras to feed on their vital energy.
Unlike Incubi or Succubi, which are considered “demons” with a certain consciousness, larvae are more often described as ‘parasites’ or “spiritual insects” without complex intelligence, acting purely on their instinct for survival.
Here are the key points to understanding...

The Hekate Enodia Telestai (Middle Pillar Ritual)
This rite awakens the inner pillar through Hekataen logoi, ascending from matter to Monad and descending for manifestation. Syncs with Chaldean ascent (souls through Hekate's center) and Orphic Hymn (torch-bearing guide).
The Ritual
Preparation
Stand barefoot facing east. Breathe deeply 3x, envision robed holographic form encircled by Proarche void.
Ground: Feel earth pulse (GAIAG).
Invoke: Arms outstretched, intone "Hekate Enodia Telestai"...
I've been diving a bit more into fixed stars lately, especially the star that rules my astrological chart. I can't say I'm surprised to learn that the infamous Algol has a heavy presence in my personal cosmos. Please enjoy my little write up on this star (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)
Known as the Demon Star or Eye of Medusa, Algol is the most malefic star in the Heavens, connotative with violent ends and beheading. Located in the constellation of Perseus, Algol represents the severed head of Medusa. It is...
Combing pop culture into our practices is something that is growing more and more popular and accepted nowadays, although it has always been there. I did post a brief introduction to pop culture into a tutorial 'series' I planned to continue but never managed to.
However, it's been almost four years since. I learned a lot. I experienced a lot, and I can wholeheartedly say, it worked me so-so well. Not only that, it helped me understand and explore my greatest strength and truths I failed to...
Fire and smoke are ancient allies: the right incense can become a key to crossing the threshold of clairvoyance. It is not just a scent: it is a bridge, a ritual that elevates consciousness and prepares the body and spirit for subtle perception.
For incense that stimulates inner vision, choose elements that purify and raise vibrations. Every herb, every resin, every essence holds an ancient power, a fragment of forgotten wisdom. To evoke clairvoyance, these are some of the most commonly...
Seven is a magical number; there are seven days of the week, seven colours within white light, seven notes in the scale and seven deathless stars in the night sky.
The solar system makes it hard for the neophyte to come to terms with the ancient concept of the order of the heavens. Where as we know there to be nine planets the ancient could only observe what they could see with the naked eye which were Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. They also included the Sun and Moon in their...
