Binaural Beats app for Astral Projection/OBE

My friend made this Binaural Beats app to assist with Astral Projection, NHI contact and altered states of consciousness. It's takes aspects of the Gateway Experience and CE5 to create a much more focused experience.

I've been using it as a tester for a month now and I really love the simplicity, but most importantly the Journeys are really amazing. They move between brain states and allow for deeper, more fluid experiences. It also includes a dream journal which is helpful to have inside the app.

Hope you guys enjoy as much as I do. Save travels!

A strange real world example of Crowley's Magical Link - the South Korean president who performed ritual on live television

https://imgur.com/0KTgcAw

Former South Korean president Yoon Suk Yeol once performed what I think is an almost textbook example of a ritual on live television.

For those who don't know the background, this happened before Yoon became president.

During the presidential primary, he appeared in three televised debates with the Chinese character 王 written on the palm of his hand. 王 literally means “king.”

And he didn't exactly go out of his way to hide it. It was right there, visible to the cameras.

This was actually a pretty risky thing to do politically. South Korea's conservative camp has a large Christian voter base, and anything that looks remotely like shamanism or folk magic can become a serious liability. Sure enough, his opponents immediately attacked him over it, framing the mark as some kind of shamanistic or occult practice, and the whole thing became a national news story.

Yoon's explanation was basically that a supporter had written it on his hand for good luck and that he had tried, unsuccessfully, to wipe it off.

But here's the strange part: it happened three times.

Once could be dismissed as a weird accident. Three times is harder to explain away, especially when doing something like this carried a real political risk. It could easily have alienated Christian voters for good.

And yet he did it anyway.

He won the primary, and not long afterward, a man who had spent almost his entire career as a prosecutor and had only just entered politics became president of South Korea.

I see this as a ritual—or, more specifically, as an almost perfect example of what Aleister Crowley called the Magical Link.

He didn't just sit in a room, light some candles, chant a mantra, and hope for the universe to do the rest.

He wrote the word “KING” on his own body and then immediately stepped into the actual material arena where that intention could become reality: a nationally televised political debate.

That, to me, is the important part.

The symbol wasn't left inside the ritual space. He created a bridge between the symbol and the real-world mechanism through which his goal could actually be achieved.

That's what makes it such a fascinating example of magic in action.

But the story gets even stranger.

Yoon was eventually impeached and removed from office after declaring martial law under circumstances that are still, in my opinion, one of the strangest episodes in modern Korean political history.

His own explanation was that he wanted to investigate alleged election fraud and secure evidence from the election authorities. The justification seemed so abrupt and disconnected from reality that even people in his own political camp struggled to defend it, while foreign media spent months trying to come up with a coherent explanation for why he had done it at all.

And this is where the story becomes Crowleyan in a completely different way.

I think Yoon's downfall can also be read as a case of ego inflation.

There is a dangerous point in magical thinking where the magician stops thinking, “I can influence reality,” and starts thinking, “My will is reality.”

Once you begin to believe that your own conviction is enough to override every external limit, every institution, every warning, and every piece of contradictory evidence, you are no longer exercising will.

You are trapped inside it.

Maybe that's the real lesson here.

The man who wrote “KING” on his hand actually became president.

And then, at some point, he may have started believing too deeply in his own power.

That is usually where the ritual ends badly.

The making of your Dark Edge of Insanity

Theory: the finest edge comes down to a point of intrest. Your dark pendulum could be used all the time if there was a reason for it. If it swung freely with your right hand, your actions would be part of your dark intent; if it is on your left hand its used as a reference point, if passion is used as a safety valve.

So i produced plans for a use of your black pendulum: the dark edge of insanity.

1 dark pendulum with a loop anchor.

1 ft rolo sterling chain 6mm

1 bead clasp piercing, stainless steel

1 ft sterling 20 guage wire

At least a few Mexican fire opals, black opals, and red garnet beads.

Sterling beard beads, elder futhark: Uruz, Ansuz, Kenaz, Laguz.

1 Gamesha sterling charm, heated for gold petina.

1 lanturn charm, sterling.

1 skeleton key charm, sterling.

1 Torii gate charm, sterling.

1 Buddha palm charm, sterling.

1 ouroboros clasps, sterling.

1 ft "cosmic gold" brass wire with 14ct gold, blessed by your multidimensional selves.

1 20mm x 20mm lab made ruby.

1 pointed white quarts charm.

30 sterling jump rings, 6mm, and one smaller one 5mm.

1 wild boar charm, sterling.

1 sowilo charm, sterling.

Cage the ruby in jump rings. 11 links around the point, and 6 chains along the axis. One link must be smaller than the rest or twisted out, and the connecting ring be off set from this smaller ring.

Lay out your beads and such out. Make sure you have one red garnet for survival storage.

String your single red garnet for storage with 3 tripple loop links bound in cosmic gold, make the first link large enough to fit the piercing. Then add the quartz charm to the piercing on the ruby connecting jump ring.

Charge your piercing with passion, and ask Gamesha to use passion as the trigger mechanism.

Put all your symbols on the ouroboros clasp and thread it through the piercing.

Make a loop in your sterling wire big enough for the piercing loop and thread the first few beads, and first 2 runes.

Add more blood garnets on a side loop for more rage.

Add the other 2 rune beads and the rest of the stone beads and finish with a loop that fits the piercing.

Connect 3 links of the rolo chain to the pendulum, then make a 4th link that fits the piercing, then more to make 13. Add the boar, and sowilo charm.

Wear on your off hand.

Instructions for use: the swing of the pendulum shows you when, you focus on where to strike the cut, and the forward momentum slices it. The ruby is for chaos storage, the quarts is for the 4 elements, and the red garnet is for survival.

You use the chaos ruby for a lanturn by putting your left hand over your eyes and squinting.

This is your doorway to the cosmos.

Hex / curses for a male that physically harms his girlfriend (my friend)

As above. I have practiced chaos magick for 6 years now but only done hexes on people who haven't done as bad things as the thing mentioned above (gossiping, spreading rumors etc). He regularly beats her, punches her in the face until she bleeds and has bruises, he's extremely manipulative with guilt tripping and gaslighting to the point she's scared to leave because she thinks it's her fault that he does that. I've contemplated hoodoo because it's very effective but i don't wanna do a closed practice without being invited into it as its disrespectful. Does anyone know how i can harm him so he will suffer for the rest of his life? I once met his ex girlfriend on the bus when she was drunk and she told me that he used to beat her regularly as well. So it's not a one time thing, it's a personality thing and people like that deserve the worst. Would summoning lilith be a good idea? I've already thought about asking her to give me a hair or something personal from him.

Trad-Craft Mystery Schools or Courses?

I have been looking to shift my practice more toward Trad Craft. I have looked into the Red Thread Academy, and I do consider myself a folk practitioner. I want to add more structure to my practice while still keeping the folk aspects that are important to me. I do some ceremonial magick as well.

I’ve been reading Traditional Witchcraft: A Cornish Book of Ways, The Bones Fall in a Spiral, and Curses and Blessings in Irish Folk Magic, and I’m really enjoying learning more about these traditions.

Does anyone have any good authentic Trad Craft courses they would recommend? Or does anyone have experience with the Red Thread Academy? I’d love to hear about your experiences.

I am having trouble regarding my guardian angel.

I have two guardian angels named Utsuel and Sowell. Let me introduce them to you first.
Utsuel is a black Seraph who governs calmness, tranquility, and mental stability.
Sowell is a white Seraph who governs happiness, joy, and a sense of elation.
Although I have a human body, my soul is divine; these two were created from fragments of my soul by a higher deity (a god who is like a mother to me) before I reincarnated into this life.
I usually interact with them just like best friends.
However, I’ve been busy lately, so we’ve had less time to talk, and I’ve lost the ability to connect with them properly...
So, I would love to know how I can talk to them again!

I am using Google Translate for this message.
I will also use translation for my replies, so there might be a delay.

Civilizational Manifestation?

It's not uncommon for people to manifest things like wealth, relationships, a job or tune themselves or another, so that they become the perfect vessel for a given spirit to manifest themselves in. That being said, what would it take to or how would one go about, manifesting and entirely different civilization and humanoid species?

I would imagine such a ritual would play out over the span of many centuries and require a lot of participants.

Happy to help in devising “magical names” based on ancient Latin and Greek

I doubted the efficacy of “magical names “ like Perdurabo or whatever.

Upon devising and choosing a “magickal name” I found that results were better.

I studied Classicss, AKA Latin and Ancient Greek for many years, at a University level, so I know a few things.

I cannot ever speak my own magickal name but I feel every mage deserves to have the tools to devise one.

Unfortunately Hebrew is outside of my expertise, but it is revered by the scholars I am copying off of.

Btw my old ass Reddit account ties me to my real ass identify, and fuck all you AI sacks of fetid shit

Having said that, please don’t use AI to devise a name just dm me this sub is dead af

What was your first "holy shit this is real" moment?

For me, all my doubts were absolved when i had someone use a crystal ball for divination.

I could just feel myself spiritually drawn to the ball in a way that I've never felt before. And from that moment, i started to believe that there is so much more to this world than what we can see, touch, or sense in the physical realm.

Did anyone else have a moment where you realized that so much of what people have said to not be real, is actually more real than the physical?

Anyone been through something similar?

I’ve done a lot of clearing work, herbal baths etc smudging, energy shielding, floor washes, egg cleansing, but things continue stuck and possibly very dark all around me, you know that sensation that something is wrong, it could be a hexed I’m
Having all the symptoms consecutive mishaps, nightmares, physical lethargy but the most important is the absolute certainty there is either a bad entity or a work done against me. I’ve done a lot of research and all the symptoms check.

What do you recommend, I was thinking uncrossing but that’s something I have no experience with and hard to find here in Boulder most clearing offering would be reiki. I doubt reiki can uncross a hex.

Any advise? 🙏

Is there always a way when there's a will? I feel like my will doesn’t matter

How much choice do we actually get in building our lives? Do we really get a say or are we just really supposed to live a life under rigid conditions?

Context: All my life, I have wanted to be an engineer. I grew up in a very conservative family and little career or emotional support. At the ripe old age of 30 I managed to study engineering in a different country, paying out of pocket, after fighting a lot of shit. Now that I am done, I feel like there's no way I'll get to ever actually work as an engineer or call myself one. My home country is technologically severely underdeveloped, there are no jobs for me there. The job market of the country I am in right now is not very favourable for an immigrant student, esp one with no real experience.

This is not a job search frustration for me, this is all that matters to me. I cannot imagine going back to my family, or see the point of living a life if I cannot accomplish this goal. I'm not being dramatic, my path to come study here was forged with blood, sweat and tears. Nothing else will make me feel like I am a person of worth. I am not suicidal, this is just how things are for me. If I can land a job here I will finally choose my own life, going home would mean surviving, not living, seeing as how rigid that society was to me growing up and how stuck in its ways it still is. I have dabbled in magick (simple manifesting, candlework) but haven’t seen any changes.

I want something so much yet I cannot see it happening for me with my odds. Does my will not matter? Do you have any magickal advice for me? Is there no way I carve my path out in the world, are some of us really that limited when it comes to choices?

Looking for a book that just explains the anti-cosmic concept

I have read Liber Tiamat and TEMPLE OF THE BLACK LIGHT: The Rise of Anti Cosmic Luciferianism and the Cult of Chaos, but neither of these are giving me a good over view of what the Anti-Cosmic thing is.

I think Liber Tiamat does, but I have strong disagreements about what the book states, and so I want to get another source to compair ideas. I am not so much looking to try to practice this, but am more jist intrested in the concept as a whole

Is this something other people have experienced

I’ve been studying witchcraft since I was 12 when my grandpa died and it really just made me turn to absorbing all information I could to fill a void so I found witchcraft and did a whole bunch of learning and studying. Anyways I meditated a lot and got really in touch with the earth and my spirit guides I haven’t consistently practiced in a few years cause I’ve come to point of being really busy with school and life but recently they’ve started breaking ground to build a data center near my home and since they started I have had the most killer headaches and my connective tissue disorder is flaring the land they are building on is where the race track my grandpa would take me to was on. I really am just curious does anyone else get like this is it just some placebo thing or what?

Real consequences vs myth: what happens when an entity ritual goes wrong?

I am curious about the practical consequences of messing up a ritual when working with entities. Beyond just a failed working, is there actual danger or backlash if you make a mistake during the ritual process, or do spirits simply ignore a poorly constructed effort? I am trying to separate theoretical fear from real operational experience. If you have ever screwed up a working with an entity firsthand, what happened, did you feel any hostility or negative repercussions, and how did you resolve it?
