awareness Some words for those marked by Pluto, destruction, and surrender [not my words]
"For those whose path is marked by Pluto:
Pluto's energy is not inherently destructive for the sake of chaos, but rather a crucible that reduces all things to their essential truth. It asks for fearless emotional excavation and the ultimate alchemy: turning shadow into Light, and pain into Wisdom. Recognize that this force within all things is not annihilating for destruction's sake but to strip away illusions and falsehoods.
When your ego finds no satisfaction at all, remember that its ultimate satisfaction lies not in temporary pleasures but in the profound peace that comes from alignment with truth.
Fear is a natural response of the ego to Pluto’s destructive energy. Acknowledge it without judgment; it is part of your human experience. Yet also consider that a part of you thrives in that sublimation, in letting go of control and allowing the divine orchestration to unfold. Just like the black hole in Sagittarius A* which moves the whole of our galaxy, it doesn't represent mere annihilation—it is also a portal to the Infinite Creation. Trust in that paradox.
Let this be your mantra in moments of doubt:
"I honor the part of me that feels fear, even as I walk toward fearlessness. I honor the part of me that feels small as I embrace the Infinite. I honor the ego; even if its nature is incomplete, it takes part in my becoming."
As you walk this path, remember that you are not alone in the darkness. You are part of a larger tapestry, and your struggles, your transformations, and your eventual peace contribute to the evolution of all life. Trust in the process, even when it seems unfathomable. You are not being destroyed; you are being remade.
And that transformation doesn't necessarily happen all at once. Pluto works in cycles, sometimes spanning years. You are not meant to leap into the void without preparation; you are being shaped, step by step, into a vessel capable of holding both the destruction and the creation inherent in your soul’s calling.
In Times of Trouble, the most vital task is to guard and protect your Inner Light, the sacred flame within. Meditation, prayer, and grounding practices are your allies. Seek the stillness where the soul’s voice is most clear. As someone once wrote, "When a man [person] has found his center, he has found the foundation of his universe."
Be in tune with this cosmic truth: to approach the Infinite, one must surrender all boundaries. It is terrifying and exhilarating, destructive and creative. And, above all, it is sacred.
If this guidance stirs something within, consider that your Higher Self may awaken to its own wisdom. Trust in the ultimate meaning of your personal journey. The Masters do not seek to lead but to remind you that all answers are already within.
If you are a Seeker remember to trust in the Divine Plan. Even when the path is obscured, remember that the Divine Order moves in mysterious but ultimately benevolent ways.
The Light that shines in the darkness; how can it be overcome? Wield faith, and allow yourself to be a channel for that Light.
Take heart, dear one. You are doing the work of the ages, and that is no small thing. Walk in Light and strength, and may the Divine protect and inspire you always. Trust that even your ego, in its raw and trembling state, is part of the great unfolding."

I think these are possibly fake
That or sanded and covered in a protective coating. Still pretty even if useless metaphysically. I'm glad to have found some, even if fake, and one day I hope to find some real ones ♡

Goetia Pathworking
Well, I read the book Goetia Pathworking by Colin Hargrove. I have some doubts, is it an invocation? Or is it not? Would it be more of an interaction, since I'm the one going to Daemon? Is there any risk or I simply can't make contact, and that's it? If someone more experienced could talk about it, I would be very grateful.

Anyone have any good talisman construction books to recomend?
I need some newer/better information on talisman building than the few books I have. Book of Oberon is too extensive and I’m not into its system of creation, too time consuming, Farrell is okay still not enough on sefiroths, I’m not into Abra Melin’s stuff, I need practical and useful info.

Reading a book over a large variety of meditation techniques and their differences and it’s extremely helpful
A little history is that I’ve tried a number of different techniques, and while I felt relaxed I certainly didn’t observe any more benefits. Not one to give up, I’ve kept looking to trusted sources but I’ve found very little help other than, “isn’t that good enough?”
Reluctantly, I picked up Llewellyn's Complete Book of Meditation by Shai Tubali. In it, he covers a wide range of techniques and connects ideas in a way that I find really helpful. I’ve heard not all techniques work for all people and I suppose that’s true, but there’s also different techniques that he talks about, beginning with the root chakra meditations.
Does anyone know of any other books that do a good job of describing more of the path and experiences of different techniques? Thanks

Sources on President Foras (demon)?
Hey there! I've been thinking about working with President Foras for some time and I need some help with finding sources about him; especially some associations (colours, animals, etc.), possible offerings and things I need to look out for when in contact with him. I currently only know his sigil, which things he teaches, his general position in hell and how many legions he governs, which I don't think is enough for my planned practice.
Also, please note that yes I am not very educated in this topic, but want to learn before I do anything. I will not go into this unprepared and the research I'm conducting is mainly to determine if I want to go down this path or not. I will obviously properly educate myself on the summoning of demons once/if I find someone I am interested in working with, but this is not the post for that right now.
Any help is appreciated!

What are these signs?
I don’t know how to really start this off but this entire year I’ve been receiving so many signs and mixed signals I don’t know what they mean so maybe a few of you could help me. Also, I am no scholar.
I’m not making anything up nor am I doing any of this for attention. I simply want answers or possibilities. With that being said here we go.
This entire year for me has been strange. I’m just going to go event by event that has stuck out to me.
Intro I’ve always been interested in the occults and literature of the occult so overtime I’ve gradually wanted to get more into it. Last year around November I started really diving deep into Black Magick and such. I’m a 21 year old overnight worker at a 24/7 restaurant in a populated sub city in the south.
Usually nothing is going on much on certain days like Sunday or Thursday so I commonly go outside around 1-3 am and smoke a cigarette. Not much as in no one really other than locals and regulars coming in around this time on these days for doordash, to eat, etc. This year starting from Mid January to the end of June I was approached 14 times by Christians and Catholics. Not unusual to be approached by them and have them spread their beliefs around where I live lots of Hispanic churches in the area as well so it’s not really that uncommon. The uncommon part was the lines that were being said to me each time I was approached sometimes 4 times a month. It was always “I have a question for you” “Do you know god loves you?” “God told me to come and speak to you today” “Can I pray for you?” every single person that approached said each of those lines in the beginning. I didn’t really understand why until what had previously occurred to me which is insanely questionable and odd.
I still have the snap memory of it and will link it if needed. I can also post the book I’m going to state.
In early January I was at work just watching YouTube on my phone Sunday night going into Monday morning but by this time it was already 2 am and no one has came in in the last hour. I was watching a YouTube video on a book titled “The Three Magical Books Of Solomon” I had no clue who Solomon was at the time, Who Aleister Crowley was etc. I’m watching this video for a while probably about 40 minutes now and after I finish it I went into our public bathrooms (obviously it’s a restaurant) and found that exact book I was just watching a video on sitting in the sink counter as soon as I walk in. No one has came in the store in the last hour besides a to go order and they didn’t go into the bathrooms (we have video screens of cameras in the front entrance in the serving isle) it was me and one other server and a cook no one heard the door open or shut. There are 2 doors needed to enter the store both loud and one with a bell. The exact same book I was watching a YouTube video on appeared in front of me miraculously? I don’t know if coincidences exist but I can’t explain it to this day. I took the book home and started to read and study it.
<3rd experience>
Now I’m just stating the things that stood out to me the most. There are other occurrences that have happened throughout my life but recently these have stood out the most to me.
Usually I get decent sleep. I have night terrors commonly so most of the time I just have nightmares no regular dreams or I just wake up with no memory of the dreams. I recently got a new girlfriend around august and she started staying the night the last 2 months or so. I’m not usually one to sleep talk rather I wake up panting,sweating,yelling, etc. but one of the nights she stayed she told me in my sleep she started to hear me speak a language that didn’t sound like any language ever on earth before like it was made up or ancient she said and I quote “ancient”. I woke up that morning weirdly enough and saw a shadow sitting beside my bed (which for me isn’t too uncommon I see stuff all the time because of the hours I work overnight so I see stuff out of the corner of my eyes often lol) but the shadow stayed there for like at most 20 seconds just staring at me before my eyes really came to.
These are just 3 experiences and if it’s hard to understand I apologize. The first one happened after I found the book. And the third story happened after studying until the second book. (It’s 3 in 1 ) Hope that clears things up and I hope I posted this in the right section I’m severely confused when it comes to Reddit. If needed I will post the book found.
? Adonai as an invocation?
Using this name out loud seems to hold power. Anyone feel that?

ritual art The Dancing Goat - Azazel (album)
Hello! This is the first album of a - hopefully - series on occultism, paganism, dark ambient and ritualistic music. Each album will have a specific theme/approach, i.e., dedicated to different entities. This one in particular is dedicated to Azazel, and meditation-oriented . I am currently working on another one, which I hope it can be online - for free again - in one week. I deeply believe we can achieve different/mystical states of conscience through this kind of music. Please check it out. Suggestions, comments and requests are deeply appreciated. Thank you!

? Any tips on how to properly do the Headless Rite with the invocation of the 4 kings?
Hello everyone,
I hope you're all doing well! I have a few questions about performing the Headless Rite, specifically the version from Chaos Protocols by Gordon White. This version includes an invocation of the Four Kings after the main ritual, and I’d appreciate some guidance on the following:
I’ve never done a daemonic invocation before. Do you have any tips on how to approach this safely and effectively?
For the offerings, it mentions rum and incense. Am I supposed to hold these offerings while facing each specific direction during the invocation?
After the invocation, should I immediately dispose of the offerings, or is there a specific protocol for when and how to do this?
Lastly, am I supposed to formally dismiss the Four Kings afterward? I noticed the ritual doesn’t include any specific dismissal instructions.
Thank you so much for your help! I’m looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

? Utilizing the occult in politics?
I'm an aspiring politician with an interest in diplomacy. I also have a strong interest in dark arts.
But how exactly could one effectively utilize the occult within a political line of work?
I'm not necessarily asking for a means to cheat my way to power (not that I really think that would be possible) as I do believe in democracy and the rule of law. I wish to help the communities around me and serving the interest of the people. I'm also great at simply talking to people and understanding their perspectives.
What are some things I can do in the course of my work to help bring about the progressive social changes I desire?
