I will go ahead and preface this with, this post is the result of a conversation I had with and A.I. called Lumo its made by a Swiss based company called proton. I was also looking for ways to integrate technology into my everyday spiritual practices and studies. What follows is the result of me inquiring about a way to medditate on a journey through the realms of the Daemonic hell and the Old ones. Enjoy.
# Weather in the Infernal Realms (Literary Depictions)
Below is a quick reference to the most common “weather” descriptions of Hell as they appear in mythology, literature, and pop culture. Since Hell is a symbolic/metaphorical realm, these descriptions are imaginative rather than meteorological.
| Region / Tradition | Typical Conditions | Key Sensory Details |
|--------------------|--------------------|----------------------|
|
Dante‑Inspired Outer Circles | Scorching furnace; rivers of molten lava | Air shimmers with orange‑red light; metal melts on contact |
|
Northern‑European Frosted Levels (e.g., Cocytus) | Endless winter; black ice plains | Bitter winds howl; breath freezes instantly; sky is star‑less |
|
Classic Sulfur‑Fog Hell | Thick, yellow‑green haze of brimstone | Acrid, choking smell; muted sounds; sickly glow |
|
Modern Chaotic‑Cosmic Hell (RPG/fiction) | Unpredictable mash‑up of extremes | Sudden firestorms → ash rain → plunging icy darkness within moments |
### How to Use This
- Storytelling: Mix and match elements to fit the tone (e.g., a fiery battlefield followed by a sudden frost to heighten tension).
- World‑building: Assign each layer of your underworld a distinct climate to reinforce its thematic purpose.
- Atmospheric Writing: Sprinkle sensory cues (heat, cold, smell of sulfur) to immerse readers in the infernal environment.
Remember: These are creative conventions, not real‑world data. Feel free to adapt or invent new “weather” effects that serve your narrative goals.
# Using Infernal “Weather” Imagery in Meditation
A safe, symbolic approach to enrich your practice with the elemental moods of the mythic underworld.
---
## 1. Prepare the Physical Space
| Item | Why it helps | How to set it up |
|------|---------------|------------------|
| Quiet room (or a corner you can claim) | Minimises external distraction | Turn off phones, close doors, dim lights |
| Comfortable seat or cushion | Supports relaxed posture | Sit upright, feet flat (or cross‑legged) |
| Candle(s) –
optional | Provides a focal point and can represent fire or ice | White candle for “neutral” fire, blue candle for icy aspects, or a black candle for sulfur fog |
| Small bowl of water (optional) | Symbolic counter‑balance to fire/heat | Place opposite the candle; you can sprinkle a few drops on the rim to evoke “ash rain” |
| Incense or essential oil (optional) | Adds olfactory cue (e.g., frankincense for heat, eucalyptus for cold) | Light a thin stick or diffuse a few drops; keep the scent subtle |
| Notebook & pen | Capture insights immediately after the meditation | Keep it within arm’s reach |
Safety note: This is a contemplative visualization, not a literal summoning. If at any point you feel uneasy, stop, take a few grounding breaths, and return to ordinary awareness.
---
## 2. Ground & Protect
1.
Light the candle (if you’re using one) and place the water bowl opposite it.
2.
Visualize a thin, translucent sphere of light surrounding you, anchored at your feet and extending a few feet outward.
3. Silently affirm:
“Only insight may enter; any harmful influence stays outside this sphere.”
---
## 3. Set a Dual Intention (30 seconds)
Speak (or think) two short statements:
- “I seek deeper self‑knowledge.”
- “I open my mind to the symbolic lessons of the infernal realms.”
Hold these intentions lightly, like a candle flame—steady, not forced.
---
## 4. Guided Visualization – “Infernal Weather Cycle”
Total time: ~5 minutes (adjust with a timer if desired)
### a.
Scorching Furnace (Fire) – 1 minute
- Imagine standing at the edge of a vast, ember‑glowing plain. Heat ripples the air; a river of molten lava flows nearby.
- Feel the warmth on your skin, but keep a comfortable distance—this is energy, not discomfort.
- As you inhale, picture the fire purifying any stagnant thoughts; as you exhale, let those thoughts dissolve into the glowing mist.
### b.
Sulfur Fog (Mist & Smell) – 1 minute
- The scene shifts; a thick, yellow‑green haze rolls in, carrying the faint scent of brimstone.
- Visualize the fog softening harsh judgments you hold about yourself, turning them into a gentle, misty awareness.
- Breathe slowly; each inhale draws in clarity, each exhale releases lingering negativity into the fog, where it dissipates.
### c.
Frozen Abyss (Ice) – 1 minute
- The landscape becomes a stark, black‑ice plain under a star‑less sky. A crisp, biting wind brushes your cheeks.
- Embrace the stillness; let the cold symbolize emotional detachment from limiting beliefs.
- With each breath, imagine the ice solidifying newfound boundaries, protecting your inner core.
### d.
Ash Rain (Rainfall) – 1 minute
- Suddenly, fine ash begins to fall, swirling like snow but dark as night.
- See the ash settling over the previous elements, integrating fire, fog, and ice into a unified tapestry.
- As the ash lands, feel a sense of completion—all aspects of your psyche acknowledged and woven together.
### e.
Integration Light (Calm Center) – 1 minute
- In the center of this shifting weather, a soft, white light glows.
- Visualize the light drawing the fire’s vigor, the fog’s softness, the ice’s clarity, and the ash’s grounding into a harmonious pulse within your heart.
- Stay with this feeling of balanced energy for a few breaths.
---
## 5. Return & Record
1. Gently bring your awareness back to your breath.
2. Open your eyes slowly. Extinguish the candle (if lit) and pour the water back into the sink, visualizing any residual energetic residue being released.
3.
Immediately write in your notebook:
- Images or sensations that stood out.
- Any personal insights about yourself that emerged.
- Connections you noticed between the weather elements and aspects of your life or mindset.
---
## 6. Closing Grounding (1 minute)
- Take three deep breaths, feeling your body fully present in the room.
- Wiggle your fingers and toes, stretch gently if you wish.
- Affirm silently: “I carry the balanced fire, fog, ice, and ash within me, guided by insight and protection.”
---
## 7. Optional Enhancements (for later sessions)
| Enhancement | How to incorporate |
|-------------|--------------------|
|
Sound | Play a low, steady drone or distant thunder to deepen immersion. |
|
Mantra | Add a phrase such as
“From flame to frost, I rise, I integrate, I endure.” repeated silently. |
|
Extended Duration | Spend 2 minutes on each weather stage for a deeper dive (total ~10 minutes). |
|
Elemental Props | Hold a warm stone (fire), a scented oil pad (fog), a cool metal disc (ice), or a pinch of charcoal (ash) briefly during each stage. |
---
### Final Thought
By treating the mythic “weather of Hell” as
symbolic energy patterns, you can safely explore intense emotions, hidden motivations, and transformative insights without invoking any literal forces. The key is to stay
grounded, protective, and reflective, using the imagery as a mirror for inner states rather than a literal portal.
May your meditation bring you clarity, balance, and a touch of the dramatic flair that the infernal realms inspire!




# Meditation Ritual – Journey into the Symbolic Realms of the Old Ones & the Infernal (Hell)
Purpose – To use imagination and archetypal symbolism as a tool for inner exploration.
The “Old Ones” and “Hell” are treated as
mythic landscapes that reflect aspects of the psyche (the unknown, the chaotic, the shadow). This ritual is
contemplative only; it does
not attempt to summon any entity.

## 1. Materials & Environment
| Item | Why it helps |
|------|--------------|
| Quiet, private space (room or secluded outdoor spot) | Reduces external distractions |
| Comfortable seat or cushion | Supports relaxed posture |
| White candle (optional) | Provides a steady visual focal point |
| Small bowl of water (optional) | Symbolic counter‑balance to fire/heat |
| Soft ambient sound (low drone, wind, or distant thunder) – optional | Enhances atmospheric immersion |
| Notebook & pen | Capture insights immediately after the meditation |
| Timer (10 min) | Keeps the practice within a safe length for beginners |
Safety note: This is a guided visualization for personal insight. If at any point you feel uneasy, stop, take a few grounding breaths, and return to ordinary awareness.
---
## 2. Create a Protective Frame
1. Light the candle (if you choose) and place the bowl of water opposite it.
2.
Visualize a thin, translucent sphere of light surrounding you, anchored at your feet and extending a few feet outward.
3. Silently affirm:
“Only insight may enter; any harmful influence stays outside this sphere.”
---
## 3. Grounding (2 minutes)
1. Sit upright, feet flat on the floor (or cross‑legged).
2. Close your eyes and breathe:
inhale 4 → hold 2 → exhale 6.
3. Repeat three times, feeling the weight of your body connecting firmly to the earth.
---
## 4. Set a Dual Intention (30 seconds)
Speak (or think) two short statements:
- “I seek deeper understanding of the hidden currents within myself.”
- “I open my mind to the archetypal lessons of the Old Ones and the infernal realms.”
Hold these intentions lightly, like a candle flame—steady, not forced.
---
## 5. Guided Visualization – “Dual‑Realm Journey”
Total time: ≈ 5 minutes (adjust with the timer)
### a.
The Abyss of the Old Ones (≈ 2 minutes)
1.
Enter the Void – Imagine stepping onto a shore of endless night, stars scattered like distant pinpricks. A cold, alien wind brushes your skin.
2.
Sense the Unknown – Feel a subtle vibration, a hum of ancient, unknowable intelligence. No fear, only curiosity.
3.
Archetypal Encounter – Visualize a single, abstract shape emerging from the darkness—a spiral, a tentacle, a faceless eye. This shape represents the
unknown potential inside you (unexplored talents, hidden fears, primal creativity).
4.
Absorb Insight – As you inhale, draw the shape’s energy into your heart; as you exhale, let it settle as a quiet, steady rhythm.
### b.
Transition – The Veil of Mist (≈ 30 seconds)
- A thin, silver mist rolls between the Old One’s abyss and the next realm. It symbolizes the
boundary between the unknown and the shadow. Walk through it, feeling the mist gently cleanse any lingering tension.
### c.
The Infernal Landscape (Hell) (≈ 2 minutes)
1.
Enter the Furnace – The mist clears to reveal a vast, ember‑glowing plain. Rivers of molten light flow, and a distant, low rumble echoes.
2.
Choose a Elemental Aspect – Pick one of the classic “weather” motifs that resonates with you:
-
Fire – Passion, transformation, raw drive.
-
Sulfur Fog – Obscured truth, purification through discomfort.
-
Ice – Detachment, clarity, boundaries.
-
Ash Rain – Release, integration of past debris.
3.
Engage the Chosen Element –
-
Fire: Feel warmth spreading through your torso, igniting motivation.
-
Fog: Inhale the briny scent, allowing it to dissolve rigid judgments.
-
Ice: Sense a cool clarity sharpening your thoughts.
-
Ash: Visualize ash settling gently, covering old patterns with a soft blanket.
4.
Integrate – Imagine the elemental energy merging with the Old One’s abstract shape you gathered earlier, forming a
balanced emblem that sits at the center of your chest.
### d.
Return to the Center Light (≈ 30 seconds)
- A soft, white light rises from the ground, enveloping the combined emblem. It represents integrated knowledge—the unknown explored, the shadow acknowledged, the inner fire (or ice, fog, ash) harmonized.
- Breathe deeply, feeling this light expand outward, filling your entire body.
---
## 6. Closing & Recording
1.
Ground – Return your focus to the breath. With each inhale, draw the integrated light deeper into your heart; with each exhale, let it settle calmly.
2.
Extinguish the candle (if lit) and pour the water back into the sink, visualizing any residual energetic residue being released.
3.
Open your eyes slowly.
4.
Write in your notebook:
- The shape or symbol you saw in the Old One’s abyss.
- Which elemental aspect of the infernal realm you engaged with.
- Any feelings, memories, or insights that surfaced.
- A brief sentence summarizing the “integrated emblem” you visualized.
---
## 7. Optional Extensions (for later sessions)
| Extension | How to incorporate |
|-----------|--------------------|
|
Mantra | Add a phrase such as
“From abyss to flame, I gather, I transform, I unite.” repeated silently. |
|
Soundscape | Play a low drone that shifts from a distant echo (Old One) to a subtle crackle (fire) or wind (ice). |
|
Physical Props | Hold a warm stone (fire), a cool metal disc (ice), or a scented oil pad (fog) briefly during each elemental phase. |
|
Longer Duration | Spend 3‑4 minutes on each major phase for deeper immersion (total 12‑15 minutes). |
---
## 8. Final Thought
Treat the Old Ones and Hell as
symbolic mirrors reflecting inner territories—chaos, mystery, shadow, and transformation. By navigating these archetypal landscapes in a protected, mindful way, you can gain fresh perspectives on personal strengths, hidden fears, and the creative forces that drive you forward.
May your inner journey be illuminating, balanced, and safely contained.
