So my daughter is 8 and has been getting curious, has any of you taught your children magic before?

Right now we're just doing green magic, sachets, amulets simple stuff

So I've been slowly dipping my toes into deity work and after much consideration I chose Hekate as my first real attempt at contact due to her welcoming reputation.

The reputation did not disappoint, for the first time ever i got clear signals and answers from smoke divination!

I asked for clarification at one point because I couldn't understand what was being communicated in the smoke

The smoke at the bottom made a TRAIL to my tarot deck, when I asked if that was a sign the trail got bigger then immediately shrank to its original size

I looked at the reading abd I was given The Wheel of Fate in reverse so I asked if there was anything I could do to stop it and got The Heirophant in reverse telling me to break the normal rules I follow.

Saddly I failed the seize the correct moment and the very next day I got into a whirlwind of trouble for following the rules

The point I'm making is that the communication was clear and amazing! It was such a thrill to ask a question and recieve a tangible response.

I'm aware of trickster spirits, I did do proper warding before contact, as far as I know I succeeded for the first time and I'm just riding that high 😅

This guy here has been an unbelievable resource to me over the years.

He basicly teaches a college course of the history of magic and alchemy.

If you ever wanted to know the history of the occult, gods, alchemic systems, or just like to learn something new this guy is a must watch

I believe he did tap into something primal and unknowable. As in I believe the gods Lovecraft wrote about are real.

I don't however think Lovecraft as a racist, sexist, xenophobic, agoraphopic, MESS of a human being was capable of accurately portraying what exactly he saw in his dreams.

But I do believe he tapped into some primal maybe pre-universal entity or energy.

So whatever he really saw from an objective standpoint as opposed to an insane one will never be known. And if someone else managed to contact it as well they probably had a very different impression to Lovecraft.

If you are under the legal age to purchase tobacco this info is still good. Just don't attempt to get any before you're of legal age. I endorse tobacco as a magical herb, I don't endorse underage tobacco use of any kind however.

Tobacco is a potent herb when contacting the dead, and as an esteemed member of the nightshade family tree it is often used in baneful magics as well.

For practitioners of vodou especially make use of this herb as well as many native tribes who have long since used this plant for is magical and spiritual properties.

A caution however.

Even loose leafe tobacco has the additives of tar and I ther such impure attachments.

Do proper research into the brand you buy from to make sure they are pure leaf. While expensive my go to is American Spirits, they have a long standing pure leaf policy.

This is to avoid the horrid additives from corrupting the spellwork somehow.

Tobacco is a common herb used in baneful and necromatic magics.

If you are new and deciding to use it for the first time I recommend looking for the brands that dont have any additives to it like American Spirits.

I've been reading a lot in her origins and history and im very interested, but I haven't found much in the way of how she was worshiped.

​

​

Should I build an altar to her? What kind of offerings to I make?

​

​

Are there any actions that offend this goddess? What are they?

Sometimes I wonder if the maddening horrors depicted by Lovecraft weren't visions send to him by the very beings he portrayed.

​

​

Most likely his works are fiction, but then theres the bloop...

It was never demon worshipers summoning demons.

​

​

Looking at summoning through the ages its nearly ALWAYS a devout Yahweh fearing holy man who summons demons.

​

​

King Solomon is the obvious one but let's not forget the Catholics have had high ranking church officials participating and leading the summoning of demons.

​

The grimoires for summoning demons nearly always invoke yahweh to do it

​

​

So if you have an overly religious person in your life who looks down on you for loving the occult, remind them who REALLY summons the devil

What are they typically used for? and how does one make them properly?

In less than a month he has appeared 3 separate time unrelated to each other.

First I found a bottle depicting the green man, I felt the strong urge to buy it so I did.

Next I was watching TV and the show I was watching heavily featured the green man

Finally I purchased an encyclopedia of spirits and opened a to a random page when I got it. The green man was the entry I landed on by chance.

I feel like im being called but to do what? Why the bottle? And insight from fellow seekers would be much appreciated
