There will be more prayers I'm sure, starting tomorrow night I'm praying over my Cup of macerated Basil for nine days, three times a day; then will extract an oil, then continue praying over it and let it hang dry over my door for protection.
4 oz Basil
2 oz coarse Sea Salt
2 oz Jack Daniels
It sat macerated in a handkerchief until dry, then poured in a ceremonial cup I often use. I have it within a fire triangle of tealights, the second stage will be a pentagram of tealights after re-maceration.
Starr Casa has several prayers, Bible verses, and petitions to JC.

Wednesday did my Formula and a candle ritual for Mercury.

Thursday caught an interesting image on my camera, during a Jupiter ritual for health and prosperity for all. Did Formula.

Friday did a Venus ritual for peace love and harmony for all. Formula done.

Today no work done aside from Tarot draws (Magician and Queen of Wands). Did mundane work and care for a neighbor friend today.

Will update details later.
Passed a suicidal ideation period this week.
Tuesday I'm having them up or double my Zoloft.
I do have my paperwork on with my Lawyer to be contacted Monday.
Spoke with an old High school friend tonight for a few minutes.
Bought my neighbor food today since he's broke til Friday.

Tomorrow's plan ... Get up in the morning and take a long overdue heavily soaped bath, dress and groom.
Call friend from High School and try to meet up or go over and hang out and catch up. Do nightly Zelator Formula, then start prayers over the Basil, first of nine nights.

Monday morning get up and do Neophyte Formula. Pray over the Basil and then call Lawyer to catch up. Pray over Basil again in afternoon, then night. Do Zelator Formula and go to bed.

Tuesday get up extra early, same routine but leave promptly to go to Ann Arbor for a Psych meds review and get Zoloft raised. Call Suicide Prevention Project number and sign up for study and ten free therapy sessions.

Wednesday on, drill should now be apparent.
Next Tuesday should macerate the Basil again by feeding and blessing it with JD. Then we pray over it and hang dry.
Then we move into Geomancy.

It's been a few days. Things looked up despite parental and pastoral religious persecution and folks amped up fear of the occult. Got past that though too by asserting personal boundaries.
Completed tonight's Zelator Formula after praying over my Cup of Basil on my altar. Will commence prayers shortly.

Daily TCR was III The Empress today, Venus. Venus currently in retrograde going to Cancer. Had a loving dispute with folks and declined to see their pastor.

Practicing hoodoo is easier said than done. It really is a tradition where it helps to be raised in that specific tradition. For outside dabblers such as myself, it's much harder to wrap your head around what to speak for what exactly. For example, there is a big difference between neurolinguistic programming affirmations and speaking Psalms. To reconcile the two, isn't even more difficult task which I am currently doing.
Post automatically merged:

Psalms mentioned by an outside website for what I'm attempting to do Psalms 3 to heal headache or back ache, seven to break a hex, 9 for a sick child, 20 in times of danger or suffering, six to heal damaged bones or also to heal the eyes, nine against enemy powers 11 and 12 for protection against persecution and oppression, 17 during daily travel, 22 for storms and elements, 23 and 29 and 91 to drive away evil spirits, 26 for cleansing, 30 to heal sickness, 51 for cleansing, 59 for deliverance from enemies.
Post automatically merged:

Now, to find NLP affirmations that will fit the Psalms. Oh do I long for this herb to be enlivened through prayer, so that I may then finally extract an oil, and then bless the oil as well.

Per Conjure -Hoodoo on FB
Thoughts? Here's mine # Sometimes the most high will lead you to the tools to do it yourself. If you have prayed you have conjured, now do the work. Nothing wrong with using the elements and spiritual guidance provided for us to heal and prosper. Call it what you want, but it works!! & Have a beautiful week!

Did you know that psilocybin functions as an antidepressant? Even a dried pinch can settle the stomach and increase brain stuff that makes you feel good. Just saying...

My thoughts on artificial intelligence.. I think that it was a lovely concept in the 70s 80s and '90s, but after that took a stark detour. Instead of concentrating on what would be beneficial say, medicine, a way to do flawless brain surgery by itself taking into account all known factors of a patient, that would be a feat of artificial intelligence I would be behind.

From last night before bed.

The nightly Zelator Formula has been completed, with the lbrp and the lrh Saturn invoking. All four quarters have had their adorations issued, and I had an interesting insight during the formula.

The interesting insight is that by the sign of Osiris risen used with Amen at the end of the Qaballistic Cross, by the Atoh to Ve Gedulah, you've formed a golden cross.
With the sign of Osiris risen, seeing the blue and red hexagram within, you are effectively the symbol of the Banner of the East.

Prayed for an hour over the Basil last night. Thinking of a 1-5-9 cycle for the prayer cycle over the Basil. Not out of procrastination, but two things:
1. It is to be prayed over thrice daily and therefore requires a consistent daily structured timeframe.
2. Preparing, not procrastinating. Then Praying. Preparation and Prayer equals no Procrastination.

Talking with a friend, we got talking about the commandments, among other topics.

Just want to give a shout out to my Dad, Georgena and my Sister and family, and to my other family and friends.
I honor my father and mother tonight, thinking about all the ways they loved and cared for each other and their family. And to all similar.

Some of us don't grow up with wealth, and find wealth instead in service, employment, school and family. Even so much as caring for others.

I appreciate and love you all that help and look out for me. That to me is love. That to me counts personally.

Thank you Eric for the talking points.

I just want to say Diluculo, that I'm happy that you have a family that cares for you. I know I have my damn self. It's wonderful. Wish you the best man. I really do. I have a friend of mine, who has not got the attention that She needs. And, she's in a wheelchair. She can't walk and her family treats her like if she can do whatever normal people do. I'm sad for her. She's going through a lot.

Well, you're a good self, I can see it. Keep moving forward and be the best self you can be. I feel for your friend, there are many things that people I know can do, that I cannot. No fear of heights, no fear of success just to name a few. They don't have seizures or tremors preventing them from working most jobs. It can be a pain for sure ..

The Canticle of Creation (by Saint Francis of Assisi)

O Most High, all-powerful, good Lord God,
to you belong praise, glory,
honour and all blessing.

Be praised, my Lord, for all your creation
and especially for our Brother Sun,
who brings us the day and the light;
he is strong and shines magnificently.
O Lord, we think of you when we look at him.

Be praised, my Lord, for Sister Moon,
and for the stars
which you have set shining and lovely
in the heavens.

Be praised, my Lord,
for our Brothers Wind and Air
and every kind of weather
by which you, Lord,
uphold life in all your creatures.

Be praised, my Lord, for Sister Water,
who is very useful to us,
and humble and precious and pure.

Be praised, my Lord, for Brother Fire,
through whom you give us light in the darkness:
he is bright and lively and strong.

Be praised, my Lord,
for Sister Earth, our Mother,
who nourishes us and sustains us,
bringing forth
fruits and vegetables of many kinds
and flowers of many colours.

Be praised, my Lord,
for those who forgive for love of you;
and for those
who bear sickness and weakness
in peace and patience
- you will grant them a crown.

Be praised, my Lord, for our Sister Death,
whom we must all face.

I praise and bless you, Lord,
and I give thanks to you,
and I will serve you in all humility.

I find it personally interesting that up through Solomon, God spoke directly to his people, or at least his chosen ones that were the leaders of his people.

What a difference the right Bible makes. I used to have a Scofield reference Bible from 1967, kjv, which had a very very good index, great footnotes, great chain links, the Bible I have is different in the fact that it references Yahweh instead of Jehovah, unlike the Schofield reference Bible which emphasized Jehovah. This Bible that I have is really not very good. The chain link suck, the index sucks, the best feature is that it's a Red letter Bible. If I were to get the money I would order the same Scofield reference Bible that I used to have in a large print version.

I love how I make all these grand plans, for myself, to do lists if you will, yet lack the follow-up to completion of set goals.
Meditation has not been done.
Alchemy has not been started, barely read.
Earth pentacle still needs to be done.
Drawing/Painting nope
Exercise? Ha.
Oil experiment is ongoing (from material I'm Hoodoo Herbal).
Geology/Mineralogy could use a touch-up.

No Neophyte or Zelator Formula has been done yet. The day is still young.

Spent a day observing off-grid living, and helping to can/jar vegetables for a friend. Was given an Arduino, a breadboard, some LEDs and resistors, as well as dinner and a gram of good weed in exchange for helping with work.

It would have been advantageous to try for the US Army Ranger school. Or the Police Academy training. However, my epilepsy prohibited me. So solo martial arts practice for now, if I have the money at some point a good compound bow and arrow set for hunting game. Absorb knowledge of field manuals I've downloaded. Finda way to put it all together for disaster preparedness training.

The fourth thing I need is to own Land near a stream or creek.
The fifth thing I need is a tiny house.
The sixth thing I need is a continual stream of income.
The seventh thing I need is to declare bankruptcy, win SSDI claim, and to build a small business, or some similar side hustle for more cash.

No work occurred yesterday aside from five good lunge punches with element switching, and eleven pushups.
Took trash out.
Went shopping after checking mail.
Tried to study Arduino and recall the circuit I was trying to build, and connected the Arduino to my laptop. Tried to build a timer alarm circuit (I believe that was the goal. My eyesight and lighting was not terribly swell, so couldn't recall which ohm was which, whether cathode or anode were longer pins and lined up within the LEDs.
No Magickal work aside from prayer was done.
Perhaps set more realistic, achievable goals?

Time to go shopping and try to get a few things done, namely getting a money order and a stamp to mail my electric bill payment.
It's a few days late so want to get it done.

Then need to go and buy food.

Before all this, get dressed, go take trash out, go to the bank and post office.

Then go shopping for food.

When back home, will do Neophyte Formula, arms and shoulders exercises, and punch-strike drill.

Well, I did go to Dollar General and got a reloadable card, although it is not a MC or Visa.
So basically I screwed myself.
It won't recognize the card as it's not a VISA or MC.
So I guess I will have to either call them and explain the situation, or wait until next months bill and take the full hit.
Post automatically merged:

Owning up: Money and Utilities
Okay. I owned up to messing up on getting a VISA gift card to pay my electric with, and called them for over an hour until a representative answered the call.
I will simply pay Sep and Oct in Oct. They assured me that would be fine.

Next owning up: Arduino education
I stagnated on trying to connect to the internet and download the Arduino stuff except the two books I received. Forgot how to build the circuit since I didn't do it immediately. So will be getting together again tomorrow to help can food, and will bring my laptop and a network cable with me and download the stuff there and or a USB stick.

Next owning up: Exercise and To Shin Do
I failed to complete the PE and the eleven kick drills yesterday, and still have yet to come up with a handful of exercises for arms and shoulders, and do the eight punch-strike drill. So will be on that shortly. I've barely used the new bike I received, so should get some time and exercise from it before snow comes down.

Next owning up: Clean apartment
Have not yet really cleaned and organized my place, due to the failure to know how long I will be here, and have not cleaned the porch outside yet.

Next owning up: Magic stuff
I've been too easy on myself by no routine, causing me to skip doing one or both formulas.
This will not help me advance. So daily Neophyte Formula before evening and Zelator Formula before bed tonight. Starting tomorrow six and six. I've not been doing my daily planetary rituals. So today is Thursday, Jupiter day. Therefore will do one tonight.

Next owning up: Personal care
Perhaps a bit TMI, but as an epileptic, I've developed fear of showers and fear of stairs due to bad seizure experiences, at least with stairs. This will take not only only hypnosis but psychiatric counseling. I take only dhallow baths, but not every day, so daily bath in morning it is.

I vow by today to get on these and get them done.

Due to climate change, if and when I get an income stream/channel, I'm going to start prepping.

Extra junk food, water, canned food, sealed foods, dehydrated foods, toolset, emergency items, multiple first aid kits, necessities and luxury items.

Take a first aid and CPR course when I can.

Learn digital electronics and build circuits.
Get a used ham radio set, and construct an antenna via Ethernet unused copper strands wrapped around metal hangers for a VHF/UHF antenna. Study for and take the technician exam passing.

Learn networking principles including satellite technology.

Study and practice C and Python using functions from each library and OOP with an emphasis on coding for low level electronics. I still vaguely recall 8086 Assembly.

Then put a resume out onto the market.

This income stream may have to be a part time work from home using only a phone type jobs.
On top of all prior intended lists of intentions, goals and ideas.

Really, I do need structure. In all areas of life.

So, I'm going to make it as if it were class before my job before my evening. This should give me enough time to do each category in order of importance, class, job, evening.

I don't watch television, and don't drink alcohol very often, so my time is usually me by myself, giving me no reason not to exercise and study before doing tasks and errands, and then what I choose to do in the evening, before bedtime.

Who knows about his origin.
But, the Bible has compelling evidence.

We may be upset, with say, treatment of women; yet Christ never was unkind toward women.

But those were tribal times then.
Man was not born as in some renaissance painting, we were born as one race originally, but early humans, even early homo erectus and spread to territories, still somewhat tribal. Over time we evolve, and so have the laws in the Old Testament by Rabbi disputes in the Talmud (as opposed to Tanakh or Torah).

Since we've evolved over time, so have our minds and laws as we approach unity, not division (except for those who choose not to believe). It doesn't mean you abandon each other though. You just need to be of open mind and heart toward Christ is all. A Christian won't abandon you.

This man is a heretic! you might cry to the city.

Saturday ... Saturn day - black candle oiled with sandalwood oil, patchouli incense, Saturn table setup on altar.

A great way in the past to get by on food is to visit local food pantries every day, since some have limits on the amount you can take home to eat, some load you up with fresh and canned food.
The Latter Day Saints, though you need to become a baptized member gives various services such as ancestry services, job support, religious training, and the food storehouse and food delivery.

Early morning hours a year and a half ago, I was hit in the head from behind by a large guy that could and probably did play football.

Then with physical nailed in best configuration possible, bridge the physical and data layers.
Then we can worry about the highest layers.
Yes, eventually I'm at several layers on various aspects. Now to find the commonalities, another puzzle piece.
Final puzzle piece .. learn to effectively and competently code in at least one popular low level language.

Sitting here thinking about sound waves.
For example, striking a xylophone or a tuning fork creates the sound wave. T is the duration of the sound wave and the frequency is 1/T.
It typically carries six numbers to the right of the decimal point. There are more complex formulas.
