This YT Video by Veritasium BLEW my fucking Mind and Answered Questions I've always Wondered about re: Solstices. IDKY it's not formatting well in Reddit, but whatever.

For someone who used to constantly Mock Astrology (not just Pope Pete! RIP), I sure had a Close Relationship with Luna for my first couple+ Decades of Magickal Practice. I am currently still Growing my Relationship to Sol since becoming DisAbled, for His Healing Abilities - e.g., Apollo.

I find it funny that as a NonDual Animist I Posted about Animal Tricksters a day or so ago, & now here we are with the Infinite Stars. I forgot how involved with Astronomical Events my FunDuhMentalist Xian Mother is, as she often reMinds ME of things like Planetary Alignments (which we just had a Record, IIRC) and Eclipses. This YT Video has the Latest & Greatest DisCoveries in Eclipses & Sol in general. Enjoy!

I know I've been a bit Hyper-Fixated on my own Desires for Clarification on Meta-Theories - e.g., re: PsychoLogical cf. Information Models of Magick, &c., and I wanna again give a huge THX for those that Helped me Answer that Decades' long Quest-I-on. I truly hope that most of you also found that an intriguing - if not InSpiring! - Topic to disEntangle. Now, back to more Pragmatic Practices, Hacks, & looks @ the PsychoLogical Model, to wit:

For this Week's Unkle Guido Saturnday Story Time herein Harvest Season, I thought I'd Share over half a dozen Closing &/or Banishing Rites I've Used &/or Created over the Decades the most - NOT Ordered in Order of Importance or Use or anything like that. Always Desiring to increase the Knowledge Base of Magick using Kinesthetic Practices (from NLP), this Post brings them all together.

On a similar Note, I finally got a Copy of Donny T's "Kinesic Magic" THX to both Recommendation & Resources you've Shared. HUGE THX again! Much as I Boiled Down all Stars & Regular Pentagons into a couple of Simple GuidoLines you can Follow, I Hope that by getting this Book my upcoming Post I've been Working on Creating re: a Kinesthetic Language, I won't Miss anything too obvious. On to the nonVisual Banishings/Closings:

___________________________________

1: Just a reMinder I've Posted on the 5 Empty-Handed Mudras for a more Kinesthetic Banishing that Fenwick & I Created back in the 1000s, in my Post under "Psychic Protection 101" re: How to Center, Ground, Banish, Shield, & Filter Quickly, AnyWhere & @ AnyTime, in 5 Breaths or Less. I default to Using these, and often Forget about the rest of this List unless/until they come up somehow or another - like finishing my Taijiquan Set - 2 wit:
___________________________________

2: Despite my Sifu's Best Attempts, I always refused to Learn his overly complicated Opening & Closing Sequences for Martial Practices. It was a CRAZY bit of nonsense that took like, half a minute to perform, and I could never be bothered TBH. This Chaotic Iconoclast can only Deal with so much BullShittery - like Pomp & Circumstance around Rituals, particularly. My Official Opening™ for Taijiquan is a Simple Single Bow with Hands in the Prayerful Thai Wai Position/Mudra, Eyes Down for Humility. He always chided me for doing so, but as I always reminded him, I'd never take my Eyes off an actual IRL Opponent. TBC, when in an actual Fight, I don't do any sort of Opening - my Opening is usually my "Ending the Fight" - also the Ideal in Xing Yi - as detailed in my previous Post re: the "Depths of Martial Arts". "I don't Start Fights - I End them." My Opening anymore is simply some quick Stretches before Doing Taijiquan, Centering & Grounding mySelves in my Body before beginning my Practice.

Whilst I always Gather my NRG after the final Taijiquan Pose in 3, 6, or 9 Cycles - I Practiced most all of what my Sifu Taught - I just didn't Follow all of his WhizDumb™ re: Opening & Closing. For my Closing, after Doing 3 Gathering Motions that are hard to deScribe, I put my Hands into that Thai Wai Prayer Position against my Body as I Do 3x Bows in Increasing Height of the Hands & Depth of the Bow itself, for:

1st Bow: All the Teachers that have Continued the Lineage that has enAbled me to Practice this, including my own Sifu, usually around the Sternum;

2nd Bow: All my F+F/Friends & Family whom I Love so much - this includes my Physical Family as much as the Countless Spirits, Gods, & other nonCorpoReal Entities - that have and corntinue to Accompany me in this Life, usually a little Higher up the Center-Line like the Heart or Throat;

3rd Bow: "... Last - and certainly FAR from Least - without whose Help NONE of this would've even been Possible: ME!", which usually brings at least another Banishing Chuckle with a big ass Smile, particularly after the hyper-Serious & Focused Taijiquan Practice, usually at the 3rd Eye or Higher, if not on Top of my Head/Crown (which in itself Looks & Feels Silly - see #6, below).
___________________________________

3: The Mudras I most often use for Closing & Thanks when I'm out & about and cannot be Heard (usually with my EarBuds in and wit'my Stunna Shades on) include the ASL Sign/Mudra for "Thanks!", the Shaka Brah 🤙, & the Thai Wai - aka the Indian "Namaste", depending. If none of those, usually at least a Nod, a Quick Downward Motion of the Head before Returning.
___________________________________

4: I know I've also mentioned How I Taught my Creativity Class @ Uni (yes, the Left Coast LOL) a Boiled Down version of (RIP) Pope Pete's GPR/Gnostic Pentagram Ritual that I reNamed the "Vowel Song". I.e., it basically just Resonates the 5 Vowels from the back of Liber Kaos, not unlike the Middle Pillar Ritual. I go:

"IIIIIIIIIIiiiiiiiiiiiii...
EEEEEEeeeeee...
AAAAAaaaaaa...
OOOOooooo...
UUUUuuuuuu..."

just like in the Book, only I Close with:

"...and sometimes YYYYYyyyyyy..."

Hail Eris!!!!!

Speaking of Witch:
___________________________________

5: FNORD! Have I mentioned LAUGHTER as my single Favourite Banishing? It's also a non-Visual Practice that's mostly Kinesthetic with Auditory Qualities. I Use Literaly LOLing for more Banishing than all the rest combined, by Orders of Magnitude. Speaking of which, when I saw my MH Therapist this week, I brought my copy of Liber Null & Psychonaut for him to finally see the Amazingly InSightFul diagram on p78 that I've Used to Great Effect with my Clients re: each Emotion & its Opposite... NoteAbly with Laughter/Crying @ the Center, disSolving every Emotion in an X-Static Burst of Laughter.
___________________________________

6: Which brings us to the Turkey Curse Banishing Rite for GreyFace from the Principia Discordia, aka "Acting Silly in Public" - not to be cornfused with "Actin' a Fool". Obviously you don't wanna get Cops involved via "DisOrderly Conduct", but a brief Silly, Pattern-Breaking OutBurst can bring MOUNTAINS of Levity when it's sorely Needed. Funnily enough, this touches on 2 of the Topics I'm wRiting about in my just-under 20 Drafts herein Reddit LOL See also my 3rd Bow from the 2nd Closing, above, and the end of the 4th Closing above, from the Vowel Song, for Samples of ample Xamples of Using Silly Intentionally.
___________________________________

7: I also have the Kinesthetic MBR/Matrix Banishing Ritual that I wrote up in a Post of the same name wherein I basically Kinesthetically Do what Neo does at the end of the first Matrix movie as he Tenses - BENDING REALITY AROUND HIM - before reLeasing, reCharged, reCentered, & reAdy to GO!

What about you? What Banishing Rites - beyond the LBRP - have you Created &/or found most UseFul?

Of all the Posts from my og Acct. I Miss Most (see my Pinned Post for more Context), my Post on C-PTSD - which an inOrdinate % of Chaos Mages (& likely Pagans & Occultists in general) have - is one of the few Posts I really Miss. I still have Hopes it has a higher chance of being reCovered, were I to Look into that a bit more, as I believe I also emailed it to several Family & Friends.

Whilst I can see some Objecting to purely MH/Mental Health Hacks in a Forum about Chaos Magick, I'd Argue that Using Psychology for Mystical Aims (cf. Magickal) has its Roots in what was Occult Psychology until William James & Freud around the 1900s. I'd Argue it's Far more Efficient than 90%+ of all Mystical Paths for Creating Personal Growth & Change, perhaps the Mystical Path par excellence. It's funny to think that I was Learning about a "Science" less than a full century old when I studied Psych @ Uni, now a Century & a Quarter old.

Honestly, this was one of the lesser - although more titillating - Reasons why I inJoy Psychology so much.

Much as the Scientific Field of Psychology is a summation of the Most Effective & Repeatable Effects of Occult Psychology, NLP was basically a series of Psych Hacks that a handful of incredibly Observant & XPeriMental Psych Nerds Figured out in the last half of the 20th Century. I've always particularly loved Erickson's Hypnotic Techniques. However, I've always found it funny that NLP is Officially™ considered a "Pseudo-Science". Not that I give a fuck about what a bunch of uptight Technocrats think. I mean, they sure ass FUCK don't beLIEve in Magick, either LOL Funnily enough & once again displaying the Gulf betwixt Theory ("Pseudo-Science") & Practice (NEARLY EVERYONE LOVES IT & DESIRES MORE INFO DUE TO ITS USEFULNESS). Everywhere I ever Worked, both Clients & my Fellow MH Workers found my Integration of NLP Techniques to LitReally™ Create BreakThrus on the Regular, which was 1 of the many Reasons I was known as "The MIracle Man" at the Office. This absolutely includes Sharing My All with my Therapist I've met with Weekly for around a decade now, including my Integration & Use of NLP Tech to Fix my DisAbled Selves, much of which I've Shared herein this sub in the last 6ish months since this Acct. got Created. Most recently?

Now that I'm finally getting into EMDR in Practice, I've Dived (Dove? Diven?) face-first - as we Sadges like to Do! - Deeper into the Theories of EMDR, its Theoretical underPinnings. And you know what? As far as what I've come across so far - and after talking about the EMDR-Meta for a full Session last Week with my Therapist who is both Trained in & Practiced it for Decades:

The entirety of EMDR comes from NLP

I.e., in a Venn Diagram, all of EMDR's subSet Circle would be enClosed by the Circle of NLP. Maybe the person who came up with EMDR was Trained in it, or maybe it's 1st Noticer/Creator Dr. Shapiro simply Tapped into similar Hacks into the Human NeuroLogical System that NLP also Uses. This includes both Anchors & Triggers. I find this particularly Funny as the only 2 Therapies that are Evidence-Based to Help with PTSD are CBT/Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, & EMDR. I.e., NLP is Officially™ discounted whilst having 1 of only 2 Evidence-Based Therapies for PTSD being a complete subSet of said dismissed field.

Best I can recall from my Training in the literal last millennium, NLP used the x5 Modalities (VAKOG) x2 for Internal & Xturnal, totaling x10 Aspects to Anchors that are Observed to Create any given State. I could be misRecalling, but as I was reSearching EMDR I came across the ICES Model for EMDR, which also Uses Anchors Intentionally. tl;dr: See the Graphic at Top, to wit:

Images (V)
Cognitions (Beliefs)
Emotions
Sensations (AKOG)

This acronym alone is what Prompted this Post to once again MAX me out @ 20/20 Drafts in Reddit LOL

Regardless of whether I'm recalling correctly re: NLP or not, that ICES is AMAZING! I'm always a huge sucker for a good Mnemonic, and the Additions of the Cognitions/Beliefs & Emotions is like, How the fuck did we not include this in NLP? &/or How the fuck did I forget this part of NLP, given how much I Use Anchors? I mean, I'm sure they do by now...

{Edit: I reSearched my og Training Materials and it's usually all about the Modalities, although both Beliefs & Emotions are mentioned at least once in my Manuals, but certainly not Stressed nor without an EZ Mnemonic like ICES.}

I also gotta point out this as a Sample of ample Xamples of WHY & HOW underStanding Models can have Practical Effects. If EMDR is a subSet of NLP, then just as other NLP Hacks will Help with ICES, ICES will SCALE UP to be ApplicAble to all of NLP. This small paragraph's Import cannot be overStated.

EMDR has already morphed a ton and "we don't even use the 8 Phases of EMDR that much anymore, strictly speaking" (as my Therapist recently inFormed me). Instead, we spent Session #1 Creating Anchors whilst incorporating the BiLateral Stimulation. I'm always Open to some Bi-Stim!! But that's a Topic for another Post, also...

NoteWorthy is that, according to Google, "TICES is often used instead of ICES". What does this "T" represent in this Mnemonic to reCall the Aspects of Anchors? "Trigger".

But isn't that WHAT the ICES Acronym stands for, the 4 things that Create or Map an Anchor?

And what is a Trigger, if not an unControlAble Anchor that overwhelms us sometimes to the point of deCompensation? Such VulnerAbilities & Lapses of Control ill befit a Mage, but I try not to Judge.

I had to Share not only these InSights, but How they're all interConnected, not to mention the 2 Best Therapies for (C-)PTSD. This Practical Post is a nice change from all the Philosophizing I've been doing lately. Chaos Magick Pragmatism has Trained me to alWays reFocus on RESULTS. For more Info on Anchors, I actually had an entire Post or 3 on them and why I usually reUse my Sigils, if you Desire more...

GLHF!

This is both the Longest & perhaps most ImpactFul Post I've yet written. I Hope to both InSpire you to not only Reflect upon these Ideas herein, I also hope to hear your Feedback re: these Ideas and what you think about them, below!

{the Picture above is the "Symbol for Information" & I found its similarity to my upside-down Question-Mark - as I recently wrote about re: Questions from a Sunday or 3 ago - quite unCanny}

For this Week's Unkle Guido Sunday Story Time, I want to Thank You all for Helping to contribute to these Ideas we've been talking about off & on herein this sub for the last little while. And so I wanna Invite you to Dive back in to Share the ongoing Conversation I've had with my Selves over the past Week or 17. This also came out of my attempts to Create a more deFinitive Deep Dive on the PsychoLogical Model of Magick, for Reasons you'll see below. This Week's Story is what I've been Working on with your Help, Recording Epiphanies re: this (below) as they've occurred over the last several Weeks. I've been doing a ton of reSearch & Information Processing to disEntangle these 2 Magickal Models - and your Feedback has been Essential. I Look FWD to hearing Feedback re: this lengthy & in-depth Post that seems mostly Philosophical but I think has REAL WORLD implications re: Magick Hacks, &c. So grab your inToxicant of Choice, Sit Back, Relax, and maybe take some Nootropics and grab your Air Dagger cuz this is a Long & Deep one, even for me #TWSS #Phrasing

Primarily:

I really Require your Opinions & InSights and

I Need your Help!

I feel like I'm nearing the precipice of disEntangling the Information & PsychoLogical Magickal Models, and the following are my most recent BS/BrainStorming Ideas that I'd really like your Input & Help with.

Why do I keep Digging on this Topic?

Mainly, Curiosity - the Best Reason!

Also, the dearth of Information on these 2 Models (ironically enough), beyond a few Basics. Plus I find it more Fascinating than Diving into Gematria and other such Intellectual Practices from Qablahblah.

My next 2 Biggest Reasons?

The Ideas that "Information Magick" operates outside SpaceTime (INSTANTLY!) & doesn't Need Gnosis/ASC to Activate.

This is far Superior to the Time & NRG that, e.g., the Spirit or NRG Model Require, let alone what many PsychoLogical Processes can take, despite NLP being basically a bunch of Psychology Hacks. Importantly, better understanding a Magick Model that does NOT Require an ASC like Gnosis would particularly Help Boost PsychoNautical Neophytes who can often spend the bulk of their Time set aside for Esoteric Practices attaining a Desired ASC like Gnosis to Fire/Activate a Magickal Working. So much the Better if that isn't Needed!

...from Frater UD's Short, Classic Essay on ChaosMatrix.Org on the "Models of Magick", under the "PsychoLogical Model":

>The psychological model of magic does not purport to explain how magic works, its only premise is that the subconscious (or, as Carl Jung later retagged it, the unconscious) will do the job if it is properly addressed and/or conditioned. This again is achieved by magical trance, suggestion and the use of symbols (i.e. selective sensory input) as tools of association and as a means of communication between the magician's conscious will and his subconscious faculty responsible for putting it into effect.

... then later:

>The psychological magician is a programmer of symbols and different states of consciousness.

...this is starting to sound a lot more like an Information Model, "Programmer of Symbols"...

From the greater Frater later under the Information Model (which I've included in Full below - it's all too Short):

>The information model of magic is being developed since about 1987 and there is still considerable debate about the direction it shall ultimately take. Its basic premises to date are as follows:

>a) Energy as such is "dumb": it needs information on what to do; this can be so called laws of nature or direct commands.

I have absolutely no fucking Clue WTF he Means here, other than if it has something to do with:

in-Formation

...but I'm not even sure I can elaborate on that, TBH. It's all my Brainpan gives me when I Ask it that Question.

>b) Information does not have mass or energy. Thus, it is faster than light and not bound by the restrictions of the Einsteinian spacetime continuum. It can therefore be transmitted or tapped at all times and at all places. In analogy (but of course only as such!) it may be likened to quantum phenomena rather than relativistic mass-energy. It can, however, attach itself to a medium e.g. an organism or any other memory storage device.

I.e., Information is TransMitted & Stored in Media like CDs, Organic Memories (Meme-Or-I's?), Books, &c., and he uses next the Xample of Morphogenetic Fields.

At least I underStand the above in Theory - e.g., how Quantum EnTanglement seems to Break "Laws" of SpaceTime as wee've allways "known" it, &c.

But Practice?

I've still no fucking clue.

>At the start of the theoretical debate it was still believed that the postulation of morphic (or, more precisely, morphogenetic) fields as hypothesized by Rupert Sheldrake had to be an essential factor by way of explaining the mode of actual information transmittance. This, however, while still being discussed, does not appear to be strictly prerogative though it cannot be not ruled out that an act of information magic may create such fields. It does seem more probable, though, that the concept of information matrices will prove to be the most promising theory in the long run.

I'm not sure how this can be Practically Applied, and am - as always - Open to New Ideas.

>The application of the as yet evolving information model has led to the discipline I have termed Cybermagic (from "cybernetics" or the "science of control systems"). Contrary to the other models described above, Cybermagic does not rely on magical trance to achieve its effects.

More Differentiation betwixt the Info & Psycho Models, and an Important Distinction, too, not having to Reach an ASC like Gnosis! My own reSearch re: "Cybermagic" (of all spellings) previously had only really yielded Articles about "Positive Feedback Loops" on Self-Guided Missiles, when not about RPG Games.

More recently when I was reSearching for this Post, Searching Cybermagick yielded more about Chaos Effects like the Feedback Loops, Recursion & Iteration, &c. I.e., HUGE Results from small nudges.

Sadly, Fritter UD then Philosophically posits:

>Rather, the CyberMage activates either his own main memory banks, namely brain and spine (the Golf-club chakra, so-called because of its shape reminiscent of a golf-club) or those of the target person.

OK, how the Fuck - Specifically - do you Do that?

>The desired information is then called up and transmitted quite similarly to a copy command on an MS-DOS computer.

OK, how the Fuck - Specifically - do you Do THAT? Outside of your Computer & in Real MeatSpace, that is?

>The copy command analogy holds good insofar as the information (not having mass) is not actually "lost" in the process (as energy would be) but rather is duplicated.

Another Important Distinction, as this harkens back to the Model of Ideas being like Viruses, Memetic Engineering, &c. This fact that the Information Model seems to Operate on a lack of Loss but an Xponential Spread & Growth+ means it's even more primed for NonZero-Sum Games, something our World could always use more of IMNSHO

>This is an important point as it allows for the magician to perform his magic even in a state of very low physical power, possibly even when almost completely intoxicated, as long as his basic "life support systems" are still functional

I find it surprising that a Chaote would say such a thing, given how Commonly Known the entire "until Xhaustion for Xcitatory Gnosis" has been over the decades. Even in the NRG Paradigm, Xhaustion has its place AFTER the Climax of the Gnosis/ASC. Feeling Xhausted is its own Cleansing Closing.

>and the command syntax is employed correctly.

Wait, What.?! What Command Syntax, HOW is said Command Syntax "Employed", let alone "Correctly"?

This then gets at the HEART of The Problem with Information Model Magick:

WHERE does this inFormation/Command Syntax get sent to?

Whilst I can see the PowerFul Changes that Memes can Create in Others (Humans & AI), HOW do you Do Information Magick that has nothing to do with Other Entities? I.e., When there isn't anyone to Receive the Information. Information Magick can obviously be Incredibly Powerful when it comes to Changing Behaviours of Others, but what about when I want a Sunny Day? or a Parking Spot? or to Heal myself? or to Improve the Health of my Garden? &c. I.e., Changes that don't involve other Information Processors like People or Computers.

Or is this a Limitation of the Information Model? That seems a pretty huge fucking Limitation, so I'm DoubtFul this was the og Intent.

I'm reMinded of how Sigils are - in many Ways - Information Magick as we're LitReally™ Firing Off Information Packets into the Universe... but if it Requires an ASC like Gnosis, then it deFinitionally is NOT Information Magick. Of course, I'd Argue Sigils do NOT Require an ASC like Gnosis to Work & Manyfest in MeatSpace Reality, as they likely only need Aesthetic Satisfaction or "inGagement", at most.

Perhaps that "Solves" this "Problem".?!

>It is, however, obvious that this technique demands a fair control of what used to be termed kundalini effects and practice has shown ever and again that a good amount of Yoga and meditation experience is a great help in achieving to Cybermagic.

Doesn't Kundalini = NRG Work.?!

He mentions something about Kundalini Yoga being Helpful, but this seems to Appeal to the NRG Model, methinks. He doesn't elaborate on this or why it's relevant or Helpful to Using Information Magick.

>Unfortunately, the full theory and practice of Cybermagic cannot be described here due to lack of space and will thus have to be the subject of a separate article to be published later.

I cannot seem to find anything about it from him anywhere online since this was written in 1991 (Current Year: 2026), although it could very well be Hidden in IOT Papers &/or Auf Deutsch.

Do You know where this might be found?

>To date (from 1987 when the Information Model was first proposed, to 1991 when he wrote this) the main experimental research work is being done within the Magical Pact of the Illuminates of Thanateros (IOT) and some quite astounding results have already been achieved, especially in the field of language and knowledge transfer as well as magical healing.

Any IOT Meme-Bearers (Former or Current) care to Share info re: this CyberMagic, either here or in my DMs? It's been 35 fucking years, now.

{Despite my prolific Tongue, I can also compartMentalize & Keep Secrets, just as I did with my thousands of MH/Mental Health Clients' HIPAA Info, &c.}

>In spite of its very modern, untraditionalist outlook the basic principles of Cybermagic may in truth well be the oldest form of magic extant. For we can, for example, find a number of reports in the East to the effect of a guru transferring all his knowledge to his successor before his death, which is usually achieved by an act of long, mutual meditation.

I Love this Sample of not-so-ample Xamples of Information Magick. But again, I've No Clue re: HOW to Do this... I mean, I could wing it, but I wouldn't rely on it for a Tradition's Longevity LOL

>This goes to show that magic as a whole has always existed in many, coexisting models. What has changed, however, is the stress laid on one model or the other in the course of time.

Thus endeth his brief Info on the Info Model. So I'm going to Break it Down as best I can currently, Starting from the Foundation and Working my Way Up:

If I'm Xposed to New Information via any Medium, it can INSTANTLY CHANGE EVERYTHING, because Context is Everything. E.g., I see a Bumper Sticker or online Meme & it Changes my Thinking about ____________. "Key Evidence" in a Trial can make the difference betwixt Self-Defense & Murder. Whilst it technically takes Time to read a Book, watch a Video, or listen to a Podcast, the Ideas in-Formation are Spread Instantly once they're Mentally "Grasped" by Humans, or Copied if via Software. They may be CompartMentalized as an "Away From" Value (to use Psycho-Babble), but the Idea has been Spread, either Way. Think of Flyers, Ads, Quotes, Sayings, & other Memes - all Samples of ample Xamples of Information in-Formation.

Also, think of the Immediate ImpactFul Changes Symbols can Create - e.g., Crucifexes, hearing the "N Word", &c. This is a Perfect Sample of ample Xamples of How Information INSTANTLY Changes things - No Gnosis required, although a Gnostic Rage may have been Invoked in the Hearer, were it the latter. Of course, once an Anchor becomes Overwhelming & Out of Control, it can become a Trigger. Hopefully as introspective Chaotes, wee all know most of our Own Triggers and have Worked to Minimize their unDesired Effects upon us.

How is Information Transmitted?

Words & Numbers, along with other Symbols & Signs... but aren't those Jungian terms in the PsychoLogical Model?

r/PhilosophyPlane1947 recently mentioned how Divination is basically the Information Model, and I think he hit on something InSightFul there. Whether it be via a Tarot Card or I Ching Reading, or even more Simply MyIntuition™, the Information comes in hopefully Clearly, but How do we REVERSE this Direction so we're SENDING OUT Magick rather than Receiving Information via Divination?

Genuine QUEST-I-ON!

Here then is 1 of the Real Challenging Problems for me:

How to Do Magick/Enchantments via the Information Model?

How do you do a Healing Spell?

How do you do a Money Spell?

How do you get a Parking Spot?

How do you become 1 with the All?

How do you Practice Information Magick betwixt you & the Universe? I see how Useful Information could be to Power Change in Others (who can Process Information) - i.e., via Social InterActions - but what about Magickally Changing RanDumb VaryUs™ things in the Universe? or Changing Fate/Destiny? or however you choose to Frame it.

Is this where Magickal Practices like Creating Bind Runes & Using Tarot Cards for Tarotmancy would fall within the Magick Model classifications, in the Information Model? This would make Sense out of why I'd take Pictures of dozens of Tarot Decks' each Individual Card 78x so I can Gaze UpOn them and be OVERWHELMED with specific "Vibes" via Information, Aesthetic Satisfaction, & inGagement, re: each of the 78x Card's InFormational Wavelengths or whatever.

I also then Wonder if some Simple Single Breath Magick - as I recently just Posted on - would fall under this Information Banner, as well. I also Posted on that in the last Week or 3, if you're interested in the Convo that enCouraged.

"Nothing it True™, Everything is Permitted"

I have recently really been having a BLOCK on figuring out what discernable differences the Psycho & the Info Models have. Obviously Habit Formation or Anchors get Stronger with Time & Practice...???? PsychoLogical Magick = Taking PsychoLogical & Quasi-PsychoLogical Concepts & Using them Esoterically - e.g., via Sigilizing, Speaking to the "Spirits of", &c. As I reSearched, I was reMinded that Probabilities are Information and thus my Probability Streams Method I Posted on a month or 3 back would go under Info Model, also. This Post actually began as I was trying to Create a more thorough & deFinitive deScription of the PsychoLogical Model of Magick, but kept running into so much overlap with Linguistics, Words, Signs. Symbols, &c. that I couldn't discern a Reliable Difference betwixt the 2 Models. I'm still happy to do that, but we gotta disEntangle them far more Clearly before I can even Begin. So here are my Biggest Epiphanies/Questions:

Is it really that so much of the PsychoLogical Model with its Focus on Linguistics, Symbols, & Signs, IS the Information Model?

...and further, could it be that

The Meta-Model is really the PsychoLogical Model?

I am obviously tremendously Biased given my Lifelong Obsession with Psychology, NLP, Mental Health, &c. But I don't think that Negates what I'm positing:

Like Fish than do not Realize the Water they Swim & Breathe In, our Human XisTense is, whether we like it or not, infested with Psychology on every single Level In, Out, Sideways, & upsideDown. By virtue of this Fact alone, methinks the only Meta-Model there could possibly be would HAVE to be The PsychoLogical Model of Magick. I.e., because Psychology Colours & Impacts every single Meta-level of our Being, this will always be the Most Meta-Level. Meta-Magick would then include things like Deepening Trance States, Conditioning Muscle Memory, Learning & Correspondences, Sending Sigils+ to the Universe/Collective unConcsious, Mixing the Models, &c. This is seen in the now-debunked Myth that "Sigils Require Gnosis to Work". They don't Require it at all. However, Gazing UpOn the Sigil &/or Sending it NRG whilst in a Deep Trance will likely greatly enhance its Efficacy - i.e., Meta-Magick.

I.e., this New PsychoLogical/Meta-Model Uses:

PsychoLogical Model: All the Models can be Viewed thru PsychoLogical Lenses, & PsychoLogical Processes can be Used to Magnify, Manipulate, & Process all the Models further, e.g., via ASCs like Gnosis.

Information Model: Linguistics, Symbols, Signs, Probabilities, Media, Memes, Programs, &c.

NRG Model: Prana/Chi/Ki/Manna/Vril, "The Force", Electro-Magnetism, Reiki, &c.

Spirit Model: Spirits, Servitors, Demons, Angels, Ancestors, Gods, Goddesses, Metrogeists, Zeitgeists, &c.

With this, I've reClassified, reClarified, & reCategorized the 3 Newest Models - i.e., the Psycho-, Info-, & Meta-Models - by Moving the Meta-Model so it equals the Psycho-Model and Moving the Information Dense things like Signs, Symbols, Linguistics/Words into the same Info- group as Memes & other InFormation Sources, where I think they belong. ALL of which is under the umbrella of Psychology, since Psych is - if nothing else - going to impact our Perceptions, Memories, & How wee humans interAct with & Process things. Interestingly, as a Clearer & Simpler Model than Frater UD's og Seminal Essay from 35 years ago, it also follows Occam's Razor.

I've mentioned the few Problems I've Noted with the above BS/BrainStorming Idea throughout this Post. The only Problem that hasn't been addressed yet is the seeming Contradiction that

If PsychoLogical Magickal Methods Require Mass &/or NRG, and Information Magickal Methods do NOT, then How is this remedied?

The first and longest Answer I had was, "Mystery". It's okay to NOT Know everything, particularly in the pools we swim in. Having said that:

The Plane of Intellect - where Information Lives? - is known for not being bound by SpaceTime as 1 of the Fastest Elements.

Also, Psychology is a Science that is also influenced by the Biology of the BodyMind & their Connection. This means that everything from Lack of Sleep to having Low Blood Sugar - not to mention the countless far more Esoteric Influences! - can & do Influence our Workings. This also means that, e.g., when Triggered, perhaps it's from part of our Non-Dual Nature, e.g., our Nervous System (e.g., when Triggered). Other PsychoLogical Processes Require Repetition, which takes both Time & NRG, unlike the aforementioned.

Put THAT in your Pipe & Smoke it!

What do you think of this reStructuring? What did I Miss? What did I Nail? What do you think of the BS/BrainStorming done above? Specifically, to reSum:

1: Do Bind Runes & Tarotmancy Use the Information Model?

2: Anyone know WHERE Frater UD may have put his implied "more Info" on this Information Model?

3: Any IOT Members Able, Willing, & Ready to Share more Info on the Info Model?

4: What do you know about CyberMagick?

5: HOW do you Practice Information Magick that has nothing to do with Others?

6: How is (Information) MAGICK Successfully Practiced without ASCs like Gnosis in the Information Model? E.g., Firing a Sigil without Gnosis?

7: What do you think about my reOrdering of the 5 Models?

I really Desire & Look FWD to your Feedback & Thoughts below!

I will be rePosting a Summary of any/all we Figure out herein this Post, in a future Post on Information Magick.

{Image Above is a Round Blue Infinity Mirror... I should really get an Infinity Mirror like this}

Mirrors are sadly an underdog in the Magick Items category. I've Used the Metaphor/Meme of "Mirrors" for Decades now, and Reflections are really something I've always been drawn toward. Reflections can also be seen in countless other things nowadays in 2026 with all our Screens alone, but this was not so until very recently. Thus we have og Magi using the Reflective Surface of Water. Note that Water must be STILL to See Into &/or "Off" (the Reflection itself), so insert tons of Taoist Metaphors here like "Before you can See Clearly you must first stop Stirring Up the Mud", &c.

I freely admit that my Taoist inclinations may be largely to blame for my affinity for Mirrors and not at all related to being a Narcissist Bachelor. I can assure you it's not the latter - I had my Therapist Test me for it and I only have HALF the Number Required to qualify, so that's a nice relief. And speaking of my own Weekly Mental Health Therapy, you don't have to go to a Church every Week, and I find at least Weekly doing a bit of a Touch Grass & Check-In with mySelves to be incredibly Healthy.

Of course at a Surface Level (pardon the Pun), Mirrors seemingly rePresent a reVersed version of "Reality" via the Visual Modality (see my Post on Modalities & subModalities for more info).

They can also "Bounce" things, the earliest I'm Aware of are the Feng Shui Mirrors that are Used to reDirect Chi/NRG for a more Harmonious Space. The most recent having Mirrors in Lasers, my personal Favourite of witch is the Disco Ball.

Fun Facts: 🪩 Disco Balls are HEAVY ass FUCK. They also act as Cuisinarts on everything they Touch, particularly Skin like Hands & things like Clothing, &c. This is due to the fact that a Disco Ball is - in fact - Created out of tons of tiny little GLASS Mirrors. #ShinyDiscoBalls Come to think of it, nearly every single Lighting fixture at least used to use Mirrors, particularly for GOBOs, ERS, & freakin' "Lasers".

In this Dualistic Reality, I constantly wish I had a Mirror to Hold Up to the ceaseless barrage of Projections from those on both "Sides" of... well, anything, really - particularly Politicks. I recall I had a Political Cartoon for decades of an American Yelling about the inTolerance of the Other into his Mirror that showed a Reflection of Osama bin Laden doing the XAct same thing back at the American. Yes, this Political Cartoon from a quarter fucking century ago is still relevant. Glad to know we've Learned from History... oh wait...

I could write a Book on the number of Projections I see in any given 5 minutes of online disCourse, and I'm sure you're quite Aware of them, as well... "More Projections than a Cineplex on a busy Holiday Weekend" is how the Quote goes IIRC

Mirrors are perhaps best suited to Helping with Mask Management, e.g., Showing us which parts of our Outer Persona's Mask may be slipping... I find Mirrors great for Personal Work & Discussing things with my Other Selves, perhaps the single Best Tool for Personal Work.?! There was a Book recently Posted herein re: Chaos Magick & Mask/Identity Work. And as the last Post may benefit from (assuming it doesn't get deleted like the last few Posts, also LOL), I find Mirrors great for Shadow & Ego Work, not just Mask/Identity Management.

This doesn't even begin to touch on the Uses for Mirrors & other Reflective surfaces for Skrying - which I only remembered to include here as I was just now doing my Final reView before Posting LOL Whilst it's not what I Use Mirrors for, it's likely what most Mages are most used to Hearing &/or Using Mirrors for.

What do you think? What else do you Use Mirrors Magickally for?

Prompted by a Comment in my Post on "Is Timing Everything?", for this Week's Unkle Guido Saturnday Story Time, I wanted to Share some Stories of Chronomantic Time-Distorting Magickal RESULTS. Sadly, whilst I cannot recall much re: Specifics beyond Chanting Fotamecus's name as the Mantra along with my Desired Intent, there is a TON of Information online on everything re: Time Magick Spells & Fotamecus. I.e., whilst "Chronomancy" Searches will mostly yield RPG stuff, doing so for "Fotamecus" yields PAGES of Free Online Sites with Spells & Practices aplenty that do more to Time than just Bend it LOL As I've not really Worked much with Fotamecus since my most recent Dark Night of the Soul (see the Post of the same name if you Desire more Info), here is what I can reCall from my elaborate previous XPeriences with Him:

For Starters, I began my Devotion to Fotamecus by eliminating all Chronos-Trackers (Clocks) Xcept my Alarm Clock I Required to Keep a Job, Stay in School, &c. This has been a LifeLong Practice ever since, as I still don't have Clocks of any kind in my Life, aside from on my Screens, of course.

Funnily enough, in my previous, AMAZING Car I had for nearly 2 full decades, the only Problems it had tended to be things I didn't Want it to have, anyway. Whilst this began with the insipidly redundant Middle-Break-Light that went out a few months after purchasing (No, I never Fixed it), shortly after beginning Work with Fotamecus, the Clock went out in my Radio/Tape Player LOL ...and No, I never Fixed that, either, Hail Fotamecus!

As my Dear Brother Fenwick's initial Post re: Fotamecus's Creation details, Fotamecus's Name was Created as a Mantra for Speeding up a Road Trip, and for that he is without Equal, full stop. The Road Trips that most stick out in my memory were to & from a city 5hrs away (minimum, without Traffic!) that took just 4 down to get there and then just over 3 on the Return.

I'm sure I Used Fotamecus to Alter the Timing for things like a Delivery - usually Speeding them up - but IDR any specifics beyond Using his Name/Mantra & Sigil.

Whilst I have every Confidence that Fotamecus can Help Altar your Perception of Time, this was something I'd Learned long ago, being considered a Mid-Level Hypnosis Siddhi. I'm sure my XPerience with Time's FlexAbility via these Practices Opened me up more than most Scientific Westerners may be to the idea of "Time-Magick".

I also did SuccessFul RetroActive Enchantments beyond just reWriting Personal History, for far more Material Ends. Enough to SuccessFully Beat Down my own Psychic Censor LONG, LONG ago, on not just re: Magick itself, but also on some its most unBeLIEveAble Claims like Chronomancy.

I also SuccessFully Worked in many a Delivery Position, including my Final Career Position for over half a decade Delivering MH/Mental Health for a Local Non-Profit MH Out-Patient Clinic. I NEVER got stuck in Traffic, nor was Late, and was Able to MAXimize my Time & Help by being Able to go from one End of Town to the other End of the next Town over, in about 22 minutes. Not as impressive as having every single Song End just as I'm turning my Car Off to Park for nearly a year, but far more Practical.

What about you? What XPeriences do you have with Chronomancy &/or Fotamecus?
