When Was the Last Time Magick Cracked You Open?

[Van Horne]

I am constantly amazed how magick works in my life. I am not super interested in how it works mechanically, just enough to keep doing it.

No clue, I dont follow a system of what do with this sort of thing. Downside? I have no fucking clue. Up side? I dont have any stupid rules or dogmas blocking me.

Isn't that the very essence of Chaos Magick? Isn't all magick drawn from the same source since the early dawn of man? I mean there is a reason we call it "The Occult". Every mortal who claims to know what it is is either a liar or a fool, at least in my eyes!

May I ask a question?: You call it "fire", how did this idea originate? For myself, I also like to work with this term.

If you are asking where I got the concept or idea, I got it from Lilith who initiated me. Her current is fire, I resonate with it deeply.

She went inside me and lit my chest on fire, spiritually and literally. The sensation was like massive burning in my chest (heart chakra if you like) almost to the point that I was about to ask her to stop, just then, she squirted out my third eye.

Ever since that day, I call it fire. I can move the fire around inside my body. Others call it energy, I call mine fire.

And yeah, that night I was literally cracked open. Nothing has been the same since that night. Nothing. I wouldnt change a thing either, even if I was told I was doing everything wrong.

Essence of Chaos? Sure, if that helps YOU. I don't need a label, or a box. I don't need validation or permission. I just do it. I didn't get instructions or a map. I got Lilith, fire and trials. I don't want it any other way, I wouldn't respect it.

Not the last time, but it was quite fascinating...

We were holding online ritual in chat room via Discord. I was organizing the event, one guy was doing work with the altar and three other joined us. It was end of the year, so we called forth the gods and the spirits, we thanked for the last year, and asked for guidance in the next one. During the rite I had vision of three spirits, that seemed to be dressed in medieval northern armor or something. Not like knights.

After ritual me and the guy doing the altar work experienced unusual sleep. He was ex-army person with very bad sleep. Both him and me, we fell asleep like babies on sleeping pills. We slept within seconds. Next morning we both woke up extraordinary well rested. We slept only about 5 hours, because we did ritual after midnight and couldn't sleep long, life and work... But to sleep that well. I think I never slept like that in my life and the guy was stunned, because after being in army and to fell asleep and sleep like that was incredible for him.

I am currently undergoing an initiation into Hecate that will complete on the coming new moon. I was surprised to find that yesterday was her day, I hadn't planned it for this, I simply felt called to work with her. I completed the sixth of nine initiatory rituals from the Hekateon last night and while each ritual has been very strongly visual, none have manifested in anything more until this. During the ritual I felt a cool breeze and this mysterious vapor like presence surround me, a mysterious smell lingered in the air alongside it, almost of cinnamon (the ritual calls for dusting one's hands with cinnamon so this may have just been in my mind).

The rest of the night I sat in meditation and felt such peace and presence, but as the night progressed I seemed to be challenged by bizarre visions and the most unsettling encounter that I've ever had of an ominous beast with a deep and rumbling voice speaking in a language that I couldn't place.

I dispelled these visions and returned to my meditation, finding peace like I have rarely felt. After getting up and going out to my loft I noticed several moths and some other night time insects lingering around. I rarely get insects inside the house like this. Dogs began to bark when I stepped outside, all very cliche but at the same time all very wonderfully synchronous.

I am very much prone to strong visual experiences in general, but this whole process of initiation has carried so many strange coincidences alongside them that its difficult to reason them away.
