What Was the Last Lesson a Spirit Taught You?

[FireBorn]

We talk a lot about rituals, techniques, systems, and theory, but I want to hear the real shit. The lived stuff.

What was the LAST lesson a spirit taught you, deity, angel, demon, or other?

1. What was the lesson?
2. How did it present itself?
3. How did the consequences unfold in your life?
4. How long did it take?

Share whatever you feel comfortable sharing, long form, short, whatever.

I’m looking for the experiences where something stepped in, corrected you, humbled you, or changed your course, for better or worse.

Ritual theory is fine, but this thread is about what actually happened to you?

I’ll share the last lesson the spirits have taught me, one that has had a big impact. They directed me to study a new path of magick, and that instruction has decisively shifted the course of my spiritual development.

I know this will be a long term thing rather than a quick study. The knowledge is not readily available through ordinary sources. There are zero results on Google to consult, not even a single link, and no convenient explanations to borrow.

If I am to learn it properly, I must do so the way it was given to me. As in through direct engagement, and by seeking out the spirits who have this knowledge. In that sense, the difficulty is also the opportunity. It requires me to broaden my work and push me into contact with a lot of new types of spirit I would not have approached otherwise.

The other lesson they have reinforced is timing. Waiting, watching, and acting only when conditions are right. This is not hesitation or passivity, it is precision. It requires restraint.

I felt like the lesson was to be patient with things I can't control. Sometimes growth happens slowly, even when we want immediate answers.

So, I have had another talk with Shazu to gain better understanding of our previous conversation.
So, regarding the eye of Luna, I should ask Nanna about that. Fortunately Shazu had told me I do not need to go through the gate walking ritual and had shown me a summoning mandala for that purpose, I will try to redraw it when I get home (I forgot my drawing equipment home and Shazu was quite funny about it).
Akenu: Can you show me the mandala again so I can draw it?
Shazu: you won't be able to
Akenu: Why? Oh, I didn't take the pen and book with me, right?
Shazu: Reading future from the past.
He had also told me that to get his help for divination I have to make a white tablecloth with his seal on it and before the card reading or any other system of divination to call his name and word of power.
I have also asked him how far reaching his insight into future is, to which he responded that he can see my state till the end. I asked if my future was already decided then and he said it has already happened through ancient ages (I do not remember the exact phrase he had used).
When divination of others he said it depends on my ability to connect to their soul. He also said that the soul is one of 3 animizing sources for elemental body, second one being breath of Marduk and third one the blood of Kingu.
As far as I understood the elemental body, Shazu meant the whole body, so the physical body, the mind, the emotionality and the will.

P.S. Regarding the "reading future from the past", that comes from previous conversation when I asked Shazu how his power of divination works. You can basically predict the future if you know the past, like if you you've dropped a pen, you know it will fall on the floor.

So...I have multiples currently:

1. Binding and payback of debt

I prayed to St Cyprian for guidance on getting back unpaid debt...I was taught to bind the people who owned me money on a paper poppet/drawing and then put them below a 20kg weight. I felt something was off about it and consulted with my friend who's good with horary astrology to cast a chart if I need to modify it...I did notice that there was a mistake in my approach and I quickly too both the people who owned me money off the heavy weight and put them under an iron cross instead. I did notice that St Cyprian himself was a bit "lemme teach him a lesson" vibe by giving something very potent but something that also could easily corrupt itself? I did part of the payment back within a week or so, So yeah definitely worked but I had to take it off/tune it down a bit.

I mean it's not exactly difficult if you draw a stick figure, write on him the amount someone owe you, put them on a dumbbell or a kettlebell, then you start praying and consecrating the dumbbell and enliven the drawing itself. The technique itself is simple, you just need your own "oomph" to it and style.

Vision wise it was pretty gestalt mediumship-ish sort of mind vision alongside prayers and an altar I have for him.

2. Throwing Karma/transferring it

Book Report - Karmic Transference and Transferring of Crossed Conditions in India and in Hoodoo

Karmic Transference and Transferring of Crossed Conditions in India and in Hoodoo following is my own search about the karmic transference or The Transference of Evil in The Golden Bough, etc. It is a personal curiosity and I read it before but forgot to organize my notes, for me as the...

I did channel some of spiritual animals to help me with technique and it's not the most clean or coherent. I would advise against this method personally speaking since I got a very negative horary and it seemed like not the right thing for me to do. I recommend to do a reading if you want to do it:

(method of transference) open/cast a circle, dance in a circle, you can dance chaotically or anyway you want, call forth the snake spirits to witness then throw an object, personal item or some item in the middle dance around it then throw your karma into the item and throw it out of the house.

Of course transference of karma was unnecessary since I spent February of this year making the fuck-ass method of dispersing it through joint of fate... but the irony of that is the I am the butt of my own joke for trying to transfer something that I already dispersed...maybe Saturn got the last laugh by kicking me into this goose-chase.



3. House Blessing spell:


It probably does other things but I don't know what, set it and forget it kind of spell. No need to do anything with the water or candle, just light em up and it will work. Not directly from a spirit, just Bibliomancy turned into a spell paper/paper altar of sort. I am assuming this is partly channelled from Jesus lol, but I can't say for sure I was pretty in trance while doing this LOL.

So his fame spread throughout all Syria and they brought him all the sick those afflicted with various diseases and pains, those oppressed by demons, epileptics and paralytics, and he healed them. and great crowds followed him from Galilee and the Decapolis, and from Jerusalem and Judea, and from beyond the Jordan."
