Warned: Marketplace Violation
Hello all.

I am a budding wizard, currently leaning more RHP.

I've had a rough road, I contacted Astrum Argentum back in 2018 with the aims of advancing in my music career. Idiotically, I used my personal email, effectively doxxing myself.

They responded with a reading list, Sword of Song, some Ceremonial Magic book who's title I forget.

I was pretty profane at the time, raised Roman Catholic. So, when I saw Lucifer brought up, I got rid of all the tomes.

I did read Sword of Song while meditating in the wild pretty often. After one session, I felt violently something enter from the root chakra. I didn't pay much mind to it then, but I can attribute it to the descent of my temple.

Ever since, I've been pretty badly afflicted -- years of going in and out of psych wards, violently chanting the Blood of Jesus, and feeling knots in my head and strongholds in my body react to the chants, especially when directing my breath.

The afflictions are definitely intelligent, and know how to play hide and seek.

Anyway, to the present day, I've been practicing magick again for about two months -- 72 Angels of Magick by Damon Brand and Stephen Skinner's Archangels and Demon Princes.

I own the Universal Circle (plus the Qliphoth Circle), purchased an attunement for the 72 Shem Angels from the Kolasi Coven, and I own a shew stone crystal. Never quite got the Skinner invocation to work, still experimenting. But, Damon Brand's methods of 11 Day Master Ritual have borne fruit, I see a ton of feathers everywhere (a sign of angelic contact). I've been planning to continue with Shem angels, using the Shem Grimiore and Triangle of Art, Damon Brand's method of glancing at the sigil and singing the angel's name doesn't really evoke them to visual appearance and I don't really sense any signs of their presence around me when called.

I'm considering an assortment of talismans but after reading some Quareia texts, Ms. McCarthy says talismans will weaken you. Though, she also says that enduring spiritual attacks gives you very thick skin.

Anyway, I suffer from spiritual attacks I deem to be archonic in nature. I hear voices and have for years, at first, I perceived them to be implanted thoughts. Now, I recognize them as psychic attacks and find myself trapped in an egregore (it seems as though, I have been in many differing ones as the voices I perceive change over time). There was a time where I had very strong energy behind my ears, and was very frenetic as I heard voices of artists I knew. At first, I enjoyed it, but there's no off button.

I had a period in life where I was aware I was a target for witchcraft, and tried to solicit services for aid.

Some of them worked, like the etheric parasite removal which gave me about 3 hours of freedom, before all the afflictions came rushing back.

I've read McCarthy's Exorcist Handbook pretty in-depth, and believe myself to be something of a "host" and she warns that petty spells are ineffective and I'd require an expert occultist/exorcist's assistance.

I'm pretty limited in my magickal operations, seeing as the interference blocks my pineal gland, resulting in a weaker imagination and fits of involuntary laughter while meditating or even doing simple visualizations during LBRP.

So, with all this in mind, any Quareia adepts or initiates around? Josephine advised I stay away from magick and seek out help in religion, thus rejecting me from studying in Quareia, she doesn't believe me to e of sound mind, I guess.

Anyone who thinks they can handle such a herculean task, please reach out.

Of course, I'm open to any and all advice on new books/grimiores to read that may help purify my vessel and combat spiritual attacks.

Also, looking for any occult magick orders unaffiliated with Freemasonry. Live in the Greater NY Tri-State Area, but name drop any good ones.

Let me know, thanks!

This is your task to deal with, no one else's.

You need to understand, you caused this to yourself and that it didn't happen over one moment or one day. Count all the time you were reading Sword of Song and whatever ritual you were doing back then, think about all the energy you accumulated for your change that culminated into what you felt that one day through your root ... it was an outcome of your long ritual causing real change.

If you want to undo it, you will need same or even greater dedication to your next transformation into someone else who you wish to be. This time you better be more conscious about what you are doing to yourself. There are multiple things you can do.

Just from the spot I have an idea: choose who you want to be, give it a name and start invoking it, until you become it. And keep that name complete secret as it will become your name of power, name of your ideal self that will be of great help to you if you intent to keep doing magic.

Have you been diagnosed with, and undergone treatment for, schizophrenia? Not to discount your studies, or say that you're simply crazy, but the involuntary things you experience and the way you describe them seem to be consistent with that condition--including paradoxical laughter. If treatment helps, it may allow you to study the occult without having to deal with your 'afflictions'. Schizophrenia is not always present from birth, and some people develop it later on in life. If you've tried other options with no permanent solution, and McCarthy herself believes you to be of unsound mind, perhaps it's looking into. A way of looking at it is that whatever happened to be triggered by your journey into the occult led to the awakening of the latent potential you had to develop these symptoms.

Just as working with the wrong thing might lead to physical illness, perhaps it can lead to mental illness as well. Would you try exorcising a wound via magic, or would you go to the doctor, get treated, and re-evaluate?

It seems you had a subconscious fear of the whole subject you were working with due to Roman Catholic programming, as you mention fear at the mention Lucifer. You experience auditory hallucinations, body sensations, (previous) ideas of implanted thoughts, etc. If these were treated it might help with what you describe as, "I'm pretty limited in my magickal operations, seeing as the interference blocks my pineal gland, resulting in a weaker imagination and fits of involuntary laughter while meditating or even doing simple visualizations during LBRP."

Best of luck.

You’re not crazy—yet. But let’s be honest: the tightrope between magical robes and a straitjacket is real, and some of us have done cartwheels on it. While others got the nice jacket that makes them hug themselves, we got ritual robes and a shew stone—and somehow still ended up talking to invisible beings in public parks.
I’ve been there. Most of us who’ve gone deep enough have. You start with a reading list, end up chanting psalms in a psych ward, and somewhere in between you accidentally summon something through your root chakra while meditating in the woods. Classic wizard shit.
The voices? Real. Intelligent. Tricksy. Don Webb nailed it: the “social parasite” becomes the social engineer once the Magus takes command. Until then, it’s like living with a chorus of drunk goblins who think they’re your spiritual advisors.
You’re not weak—you’re just scattered. You’ve got Shem angels, Kolasi attunements, Skinner’s protocols, and a Universal Circle like it’s Pokémon Go: Occult Edition. Pick one current. Starve the rest. You don’t need more feathers, you need fewer open doors.
Talismans? Sure, they sparkle. But if you’re not the one wearing the pants, they’re just magical pacifiers. McCarthy’s right: they can weaken you if you outsource your spine to a sigil.
You want purification? Start with your breath. Your body. Your sleep. Your salt. Your iron. Your rhythm. Then layer ritual on top. Not the other way around.
And if you’re still laughing involuntarily during LBRP, good. That means something in you still knows how absurd this all is. That laughter is sacred. It’s the sound of your soul refusing to be colonized.
You’re not broken. You’re mid‑transmutation. Keep going. But for the love of all that’s holy and profane—stop trying to summon the whole pantheon at once. You’re not building a team of Avengers. You’re rebuilding yourself.
Stay sovereign. Stay salty. And if the voices get mouthy, tell them the Magus is in charge now—and he’s not taking applications.

I remember your other post, somewhere here.

I would still say that a good method is the format c with noetic prayers. Blast them through you, purify until everything is clean clear and shiny.
Your blood of Christ prayer reminds me of some cases where the person had a similar problem. Spammed that and some st Benedict prayers, nothing special happened. The sheer madness with noetic ones works much better. It applies so much raw force. Doing just some LBRP or the middle pillar is not much. Sure they can do something but not enough when there's a bigger problem.

In my cases there were nasty symptoms and I thought I was starting to go mad too. Eucharist didn't help, the church liturgies, which at that time were important parts of my life didn't remove the problems either. Valuable lessons.

With the noetic method you will feel fire, burning through you, depending on your senses it can be perceived as a stained pipe getting heated within and candle wax melting off. Sensations of chunks of ice falling off the chakras, and within you, mind, it's hard to describe. The audio can help a bit too, on YouTube but it's important to do a lot yourself. It can take entire full days for a total format c. Sometimes less, sometimes more. I'm starting to think there was one case where it had to be done for weeks but then everything was normal, some almost immediate clearing and more for a total absolute wipe. This happened to some guy who did something weird before. Apply pressure, use the force, burn the whole system. Exorcism through fire.(y)

Since you have Keys, I recommend you use it to invoke Methratton six nights in a row. Each night, ask him to cleanse your consciousness.

Begin the first session by making his sigil, and each of the following sessions, including the seventh session, by tracing over it. That will help connect you to his energy. Then follow the book to the letter. Stay in a meditative state for at least an hour following the invocation, and if you feel yourself falling into a trance, let it happen.

BE ADVISED: YMMV on how you experience the Mysteries, of course, but my first few nights with Methratton were not pleasant. The first night, as soon as I finished the invocation, I realized I had fallen into a trance state so deep that my head was lolling and my mind was bombarded with hypnagogia. (I also saw blue and purple lights in the crystal ball.) It felt intense and downright brutal, but I knew I needed it, so I forced myself to maintain that state as long as I could, which was for about an hour. When it was over, I felt like I had just gotten my spiritual head beaten in.

Over the course of the six nights, the trance state stayed dark and deep, but the intensity and hypnagogia tapered off to nothing. The sixth night was truly peaceful. On the seventh night I performed a ritual just to give thanks.

THE POINT OF THE LAST TWO PARAGRAPHS: Again, YMMV on how you experience these Mysteries. I just wanted you to understand that just because you experience something that seems unpleasant and intense at first doesn't mean it isn't exactly what you asked for and exactly what you need.

I agree with @silencewaits that you should seek mundane diagnosis and counseling. Work with your magic through mundane actions, it can't do everything for you.

I'm not saying you crazy. Or discounting your experiences. A lot of what you write is above my pay grade. But the symptoms you mentioned are very much in line with schizophrenia. I should know. It runs on both sides of my family and I've witness schizophrenia firsthand a lot growing up. I'm not saying your experiences didn't cause this either. I just know occult stuff can trigger schizophrenia. Schizophrenia requires enviromental factors not just genetics to activate. Your occult practices could've activated it. I don't know what Archon Parasites are. Never even heard the term till just now. I can't comment on it. Or how to treat them. I do know entities can use mental health issues against people if they mean harm towards the person. It may be the case you need to treat things both with the occult and with mundane professional help. Use both.
