I’ve used a fan pointing out the window many times. Not a “cure”, but it helps.

Need to draw a new sigil tonight. As you can see from the last pic, it was kinda messy. And I burnt it. So a new one is needed.

I finally have a new phone. I will be able to take some lovely pics of ritual tonight yay.

I’ve been a bit lazy the last few days, so back at it tonight.

Got Belial some lovely, yellow citrus scented candles I’ll give him tonight. Got some unscented red ones for Abaddon (he often disagrees with my scent choices lol) but he still has some copal.

So tonight will be catching up, cleaning up and getting set for being able to do daytime rituals again.

Yay.

Few pictures of last night with Belial and Abaddon. Mostly focusing on Abaddon as of focused on Belial the previous night, but both got a hot beverage. Belial got his usual black coffee no sugar, and Abaddon this camomile, honey and vanilla tea he seems to like. Abaddon also got some copal.

I’m going to get myself back on the swing of ritual as is been focusing mostly on divination for a week, then had a bit of a break. So now back to work on the other stuff for a bit. Prime focus will be working on Clairs and possibly working on a physical manifestation of a spirit.

I think I should also stop faffing about and pick my patrons. I know who I’m going with and which order, but I have to work out the when And how.

Tomorrow night, I’m going to give my skills a bit nudge with some VK Jehanaum work and an invisibility spell. But I’ll be staying with my favourites his curse rite of Abaddon and the rotes of calamity and multiplicity.

I need to also find a spell to cripple an enemy’s possible legal attack against me. Long story short, someone with more money than i could possibly come to try and take something they didn’t help me to get to where it is now. So, I want that avenue basically hobbled and shut down. Gosh, sounds so effing dramatic lol. I assure you though, it’s as mundane as mundanes get.

But yes. Hobbled is a good word… Like that Bit in The book version of “misery” where she hobbles him with an axe. I want every attempt they launch to be permanently crippled. This is something I HAVE to be successful in as it will affect someone I care about deeply.

So, any suggestions are welcome. I might even be interested in doing something with someone as I’ve never actually done a working with another person… Probably not ready for that, but it just popped into my head now.

Well, it’s been a minute but I think I’m ready to come back. It’s been… Interesting.

Lost my focus for a while there…had some stress. Had some fun. Got saddled with some MASSIVE stress again recently. Some spiritual chaos. Betrayal. Hurt. And now I have mice again. Time to set traps. Both for mice and men. Spirits too possibly, but now is not the time for that.

I wear my heart on my sleeve. That’s my problem. Its not that I trust too easily, it’s that I trust too wholly. I give all when I should really hold back. I throw myself in at the deep end and hope for the best. And this is what gets me hurt. You haven’t hurt me, I expect deceit from a deceiver. I am disappointed and have lost respect for you though. Now, I’m confused. Was any of it true?

Back on the grind again now.

Effing noobs.

Granted, I don’t say that with the disdain it sounds like I do. I was a noob once - we all were. But, most of us have (to varying degrees) listened to the people who have tried to teach us. That have warned us to NOT do certain things until we’re at a certain level.

So, to paint a picture, there’s a baby witch I know in a discord server. She’s wandered down this path and I have warned her multiple times to tread lightly and carry a big stick. Advice she seems to have completely disregarded multiple times. Thankfully, until now anyway, without any impact to me or people I am friends with. However this has now changed and I am SUPER pissed off about it.

One of my specific warnings came when she asked me about binding rituals. I warned her how easily they can go awry. I warned her that it’s not something to take lightly as they are hard to reverse, and take a certain skillset to do properly. I warned her that they can seriously fuck with the practitioner and the target - both if they go well and if the go wrong. And it appears all of this was ignored and she did a binding where the target is a friend of mine. I am mad. Not only is this person basically a novice, they have seriously messed the binding up it would appear, and in her fear, she’s told the target what she’s done. Who has then come to me asking for help.

So far, I’ve told him to do an LBRP to cleanse his house and that I’d look into what he should do next. I’ve explained what a binding is and told him how stupid I think she was for trying it. I’ve told him it should be okay, but he’s already starting to have some pretty bad luck.

Le sigh.

Situation under control… Now, we make sure this doesn’t happen again.

Bah humbug… Feelings.

I’ve been been shut-off to romantic feelings for a while intentionally. I’m just not ready after the debacle that was my last relationship and I seem to have awful taste anyway. So I sorta just stuck with the idea of just being single and having “friends” here and there. And it’s been working brilliantly, until recently.

There’s been a lot that’s happened in the last couple weeks. I won’t go into all of it as it’s inappropriate for this audience, but shall cut straight to the point of this entry.

I’ve been blindsided.

This is not what I signed up for.

And I am not doing it

I wasn’t expecting to start developing what might be actual feelings for someone. It feels strange and foreign to me. Like it’s a concept I have understanding of, but no first hand knowledge. But, I’m fairly sure that as usual, I’ve picked a bum lol. Not so much because of anything they’ve done, but because it’s inevitable.

As I’ve probably mentioned in the past, I have pretty bad anxiety issues stemming from PTSD. So I can end up in a panic over something that to most people is minor. I overthink the tiniest little things. And I especially worry about people I know and care about. So if I suddenly don’t hear from someone I care about when I usually do, I start doing what I call “doomspiralling”. I’ll start analysing our last conversation for anything I could’ve said that would upset them, I’ll think about where they could be, start worrying that they’re hurt etc. (This is made worse from when my best friend unalived himself a few years ago just after we spoke and I spent two weeks looking for him.) I did that this weekend with this guy.

That brings me back to me picking bums. I explained to this guy that I get like that. I didn’t explain why as we’re not at that stage yet, but I did say suddenly disappearing will cause me to panic. Now, he could simply have forgotten/not thought about it. Or he could’ve taken the typical Aussie attitude of “she’ll be right mate” and done it anyway. Or it could’ve been a idgaf moment. See, told you I overthink lol.

No matter what the reason, I’m not willing to put myself through that stress continually as this guy works away from the city a lot. And I have the skill and means to completely shut off these feelings. Which is what I’m going to do.

Tonight, after I buy some fresh supplies. I’m going to cleanse myself of feelings for this person. I can’t spend my time in a state of perpetual anxiety. Wondering if I did something wrong or if something happened to them or whatever else my brain decides to throw at me. I’ll do this with one caveat; if this is actually something real, if this is something I really have a shot at that can break it. Besides it isn’t like I’d ever be able to really let them in anyway. And idek if this is one sided which it probably is.

“Love conquers all” was never meant to be a positive about how the power of love will triumph over adversity. It was about how love is all consuming. That it conquers a person and all they are, consuming them. Crushing them. Breaking them. Leaving behind whatever hasn’t been taken as the spoils of war.

Bah humbug feelings.

In completely different news, I’m going to treat myself to a new deck of tarot cards today.

I don’t always show my altar space, but this felt special. I don’t often leave offerings out for multiple spirits but tonight I did as I needed a couple’s help. And the others had been left without offerings for a while.

Tonight’s working involved finishing the saga of the baby witch who bit off more than she could chew. I’ve heard she’s giving up the craft. That is not enough. She has to be UNABLE to practice the craft again as she is a danger to herself and others. She needs to see why she can’t do it and the danger she put herself and the target (my friend in). And she needs to be punished, and severely so for doing it for no other reason than she wanted a slave. Not because she felt an intense love and wanted to be bound to this person (which I still wouldn’t try at her skill level and ONLY if it were someone who knew what I was up to in advance). Not because she wanted them to be “unito Caro”. Not because this person hurt her. But solely because she wanted a slave. And while that’s a reason, it’s a dangerous one.

No more half measures.

She’s now trapped in some as and my secret recipe “exorcism salt” and will be going in the river tomorrow.

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

I do love me some ritual porn. Thanks for sharing.

And I like the use of those muffin cups for offerings. Nice way to help make sure it doesn’t seem through.

I usually have little gold ones I use, but I’m out of those at the minute. But the patty-pans are excellent for offerings and easy cleanup.
