The Basics and "System" of Black Magic.

Hello.

Today I want to write about the basics of black magic as a system, if the word "system" is applicable at all. It would probably be more accurate to simply say - the basics, from observations.

1. Witchcraft is a practical human activity.

Theory is good. It is even better if the theory is based on your personal practice, and not vice versa. You can read 100 books and not perform a single ritual, or you can perform 10 rituals, draw conclusions and write them down in a notebook. Any sane person can see the difference in this. A bias towards theory, without practice, is a waste of time.

2. Lack of system.

Many people have tried to unite knowledge into a semblance of a system. But all this is in vain. Systematization is the addition of structure to facilitate understanding of the subject of study. But in all likelihood, the Forces do not want to facilitate knowledge. Everyone has their own path and each one is individual.

3. Complete denial of karma.
Sorcerers consider the concept of karma to be nonsense. For the reason that within the framework of the karma system, you are limited by what is destined for you. Sorcerers consider such people weaklings, at least because the person believes that he is paying for some past misdeeds (in a past life) (Effect of established boundaries). Such a worldview is denied by sorcerers. In the worldview of sorcerers, if he did something, regardless of moral assessments, then it is right.

4. Do not create an idol for yourself from people.
Everything is simple here, in a magical sense. The experience of another person is only his experience. There is no certainty that the ritual that worked for John will work for Linda. Everything is learned through trial and error.

5. Do not succumb to dependence on anything / anyone.

6. Communicate with people.
Recently, in cinema and elsewhere, the image of sorcerers is increasingly presented as lonely degenerates dressed in black clothes, who inevitably planned to capture and enslave the world. But let's leave this on the conscience of the directors.
In life, sorcerers are usually sociable. They have few friends, but many acquaintances. They constantly need a social life. This is energy. From a practical point of view, people in the sorcerer's social circle are simply necessary.

The above are the basics without which you will most likely not advance far in witchcraft.

Now let's talk about sorcerers and rituals.

7. Who can be a sorcerer? Sorcerers are born by nature. If in a family in three generations in a row only women or only men are born, representatives of the third generation, if these people are taught witchcraft, are very strong in their business. But even not trained in witchcraft, they are capable of mutilating to death. Such people are obliged to find a successor and pass on the gift before death. If they do not find it, then they accept a terrible death. Those who study witchcraft also become sorcerers.

8. The forces with which the tradition works: these are the dead, the Spirits of the forest, the Spirits of the elements, the Devils, the Demons and others. However, it should be noted that this tradition is very "plastic" and absorbs the methods of working with other Forces. For example, I recently saw a ritual with Hel that was harmoniously reworked. And what surprised me is that it works.

9. Time in witchcraft:
This is a big topic. I will give only some aspects that warlocks adhere to.
There are rituals that are performed once in a lifetime.

There are rituals that are performed only in leap years.
There are rituals that are suitable for women and not suitable for men.
Rituals timed to a certain event (birthday, hail, rain, etc.).
Rituals timed to a certain day, month, hour.
Long-term rituals (for example, a series of love spells through mixing into food).

Monday, Tuesday and Thursday are considered men's days.
Wednesday, Friday and Saturday are considered women's days. (Such a division exists, for example, for collecting herbs. For men, herbs are collected on men's days, for women, herbs are collected on women's days. Unless otherwise specified in the ritual itself).

10. Moon.
The moon is one of the most important landmarks in witchcraft.
As a rule, everything that needs to be removed from the bad is done on the waning moon. For positive deeds, as a rule, the waxing moon is suitable.

11. Pantheon.
You might be surprised, but there is no pantheon as such. There are only prevailing currents of black magic depending on the territory.
For example, many work with Hell, Satan and Judas. This is justified by the fact that references to them as a Force that helps were known in the 16th century. It is logical to assume that this was in use before.

Fragment of the icon (Fruits of the Passion of Christ) between 1650-1670.
Excellent work of the artist depicting the "classic" devilish trinity. (Hell, Satan, the soul of Judas Iscariot on Satan's knees.)

Personification of the underworld. Fragment of the icon "Resurrection - Descent into Hell", third quarter of the 16th century.

The image shows the Face of Hell, represented as a huge red head. This image is quite rare in icon painting. Usually Hell appears before the viewer in the form of a beast.

An extremely rare image of Hell in the form of a fiery old man with a fish head and many eyes. Satan with the soul of Judas is on his knees.

Satan in Hell. Behind are Demons and sinners in pointed hats. Demons with cone-shaped hairstyles.

12. General rules:
12.1 Do not tell anyone about the ritual until it clearly manifests itself. As a rule, if they tell you something, then in general terms.
12.2 Buy ingredients for the ritual without taking change, or give as much money for the goods as needed.
12.3 You should leave after the ritual without turning around. This applies to any ritual. As a rule, people do not go home directly from the cemetery (as quickly), but constantly changing their route, this is done because of the belief that you can bring something from the cemetery.
12.4 Do not talk after the ritual until you get home. As soon as you cross the threshold of your house, apartment, you are free.
12.5 If you remove negativity, then many rituals say that you should not give anything from home for 1-3 days after the ritual, or not eat meat for example 7 days.
12.6 Be realistic, do not attribute to yourself what you do not have, and do not subtract from what you have achieved.

With respect to all.

Good post, though there is aught to be said for system. A system can function as a checklist, as well as a roadmap for prioritizing what to learn first. A system is like studying grammar: boring, but ultimately useful in mastering a foreign tongue.
