Gnome Attack! Options

Wow. These lil fellas aren't exactly a friendly bunch are they?

Is odd how I seem to pick up on things when I'm half asleep, am picking up on the level I need to be in to perceive things. This was a dishonorable affront on their behalf though, a late night sneak attack I couldn't fend off effectively, the word, ''con-troll' came to mind mid attack as I felt disassociated from myself along with a series of ''dreams'' or feelings of things described in work for the grade, kind of dreamt I had done the exercises given and was experiencing the effects described, ego struggling to resist the work, a separation of it (ego) from my self along with doubts as to whether I could handle my time in the grade, a heavy foreboding feeling.

Tried to fight them astrally but couldn't as it was an, 'in and out' kind of state, knew where one of them was, at least I think I did... they were beside the bed watching me, I think, sound of something heavy moving, could have been my brother in the next room. Not sure but think one of them was talking to me but I couldn't enter into dialogue with them.

Kind of put up with it, could have got myself up and ousted some earth energy but didn't. Used to suffer from depression, channeling the energy tends to work, using its using of you to some purpose or another. Tried to fight my feeling slow and lazy the other day, taking the energies on rather than going with it, played some aggressive music and did some exersize, pilates, weights and so on .lol. Bad idea, hit a high and got a low for the next few days accompanied by the same energies, had to kick some of the element then, Kraigs method works well though glad he details it.

Can't see the other elements being as tough to work with as earths.

Peace

lol just wait till fire...

When doing a lot of elemental work a good ritual to use to keep your head above water is the cicero Elemental Equilibrium Ritual. Once a week is all you need to keep you clear. It should pop up on google if you don't know it. If not let me know and I can post it.

Have got it I think, will take to practicing it although Kraigs method works well for me, more immediate although not as balancing.

Had another weird dream the other night, was in a plant land being chased by some elf like things, ended in me being saved by a plant wrapping itself around me... the elves all jumped into another plant as though they were a part of it like the pollen, some central part of the plant.

Dreams are all groggy and I'm finding it tougher than usual to ascend to the cube for practice. Other than that I'm a bit disappointed with it all, expected to have made contact with a gnome in practice by now. Just not feeling as gritty as I thought I would, just slow and more tired than usual. .lol.

Have been stabbing the pents as you stated is better for banishing but may go back to projecting the names for invoking, I.R states that it hastens a reply.Still haven't got my mind around L.T's style for invoking/banishing though, notice its; Active - Passive - Active Passive but a reason for it would have been helpful, kind of goes against the whole path of the sun bit.

Kraigs method...?

Kraigs method...?

In his book, 'Modern Magic' he gives a simple method of balancing elemental energies when in disharmony, simply make a 'pay ball' in between your hands and fill it it with the element you are too full of or overwhelmed by and discard of it in an appropriate way. On the other hand if you are lacking in an energy simply fill the 'psy ball' and draw in said energy.

The equilibrating technique F.P.H mentions is better as it balances all of the energies rather than leave chance for further imbalance though a unilateral approach.

if you get stuck or overloaded, try using a tree (the wood carries all elements and it makes the tree stronger)

place the bare sole of the foot (some say right foot) against a tree you'd like to feed and push the overload/stuck energy out into the tree

works great
