Lets See It Options

I've been debating whether I should take a break from posting at all anywhere, this internet seems to be a waste of time for me. Interestingly enough I've been actually practicing magick rather than talking about it. And talking about it generally gets me nowhere because I don't really get anything done other than trying to show my general wealth of knowledge in the hopes someone will compliment me, or I make a secret mockery of a person's blatant stupidity. I'm fairly certain this is what's going on in general, I've yet to see some interesting debate go on. Chaos was a certainly interesting read but multiple points were presented yet were unable to be thoroughly discussed or understood. So what I'm going to do is start a thread of something else entirely, and here it is.

What is the most recent magic(k)al working you've done and reaped results from? What procedure did you use? How did you come about finding these procedures? and did you repeat the experiment?

What was the most recent Magickal working, and what procedure did I use?

The most recent working I've done and have received benefits from was from a willful experiment, I was interested to see how easily I was able to manipulate the universe. So I went into the astrial and found a spirit to my liking. I got the spirit's name and sigil, we hashed out a contract and finally agreed. The job of this spirit was several, the spirit was to get me another job, and to make money for me. I would pay the spirit with ejaculation once per week and the spirit had a week to prove it's worth. I payed upfront and the next day I was to go pick up my paycheck. I went to the bank shortly after, which was packed and had only one teller working. I drove up through the drive-through, gave the man my check and waited for my money. The teller handed me an envelope and I drove off without looking inside. When I got home I opened the envelope compared the receipt and I had more than I should have (about 1/3 more).

Have I repeated the process?
No, for other reasons the contract was terminated.

How did I come about finding these Procedures?
It's been something I've been doing, kind of a mix between sigilization and astrial work.

Lets have another!

What was the most recent Magickal working, and what procedure did I use?

I wanted to learn how to ride a motorcycle so I looked on craigslist to buy a bike. I'm currently in a really warm area so motorcycles are pretty expensive. So I made a sigil with symbols pertaining to what I needed (price, running, title etc.) and charged it. I initially wanted to pay 200$ for a motorcycle (street motorcycle) just to see if I could do it. Immediately after I charged my sigil (the next day) I went on craigslist and saw that there were a bunch of motorcycles on there closer to my price range (but not quite). I called around a bit and it was no use. It took in total THREE days to find what I was looking for, it just so happened my price range doubled because of the above working, and bought it for half of what the seller was asking for. So in total I payed 400 for a running street bike with a title, already payed off, with 25k miles on it.

Have I repeated the process?
Yes, the bike needed a new gas tank because it's old one was a bit corroded. I did the sigil work, charged it and found one in six days for only 40$, these gas tanks are 600$ new from the dealer.

How did I come about finding these Procedures?
Basic sigilization you can find in Liber Null, Book of Results, Prime Chaos, and many others.

Now, am I waving my dick around? Maybe, but I want to know what you guys actually do. This talking is getting old, and I'm tired of the 'demon' haunting a family or a curse that needs to be lifted: DRAMA! I want to see your results, and compare notes. So I've shown you mine, lets see yours shal we?

Back again (Lucky you!)

I've found OBE can lead to overactive imagination when it comes to drama of the spirit world, silly results will be produced in order to justify these events. So for reasons I've found: it's necessary to have a clear idea in mind before taking yourself out, though it can be fun and interesting to a new practitioner. If one is adept at astrial work it is possible to take a fight to the astrial but when is there serious risk of battle? Indeed it may seem imminent but from what I've experienced they are rare occasions. Obviously barring the event a spirit called down thinks of you as a snack.

Yes...you are quite correct. Fantasy can and will exert its influence if you are not fairly meticulous in your applications. I, too, keep a journal, and it is a valuable tool. I like to also perform double-blind tests of my OBE's to validate their existance over and above just Fantasy. Having a very creative and imaginative mind has proven to be very difficult in using different forms of 'Magic', (ie divination, far-seeing, and OBE's to name a few) Though I have had the occasional bad astral experience it is not, generally, the rule....matter of fact, it is a rarity! I've only had one astral encounter that could be considered a 'battle' and it was so many decades ago that it may have been aught but a full blown anxiety attack! The summoning of the planetary entity was just stupidity on my part, as was my 'djinn' encounter! (Gosh, golly! Didn't anybody realize what a GREAT mage I was? LOL!...Occult JackAss, mores the pity) My life hasn't been the Romantic vision that I'd once thought it could be....but I'm an honest idiot and this has left me with a repetoire of colorful anecdotes to wallow in my old age...it just depends on the telling and resorting to self-deprecating humor. One of the Occult worlds Laws should be Laughter. Learning to see the absurdity of the Human Condition will help stave off the depression of the self-absorbed. There are no exceptions! IMHO, of course! Fighting on the Astral is only to be anticipated first because of what you, yourself bring with you! The Astral plane will respond plastically to a strong will...sometimes leaving the aspirant to be held to the mercies of their own bad habits! Well, enough digression, I was attempting a comment on your comment and left a soapbox. Pray, continue...

NOTE: Please, when responding to another members posting, it is NOT necessary to repeat that members entire post in a quote, unless you absolutely have to. Take a partial quote and address it, though try not to take the posting out-of-context! This is to save bandwidth and time...it is not a rule just a courtesy. Thanks, Bym.
