Hi, Madame_Phoenix here, and I will be making a more formal introduction shortly.
I have had the NAP book since February and began working with it in earnest since June. The first time I went through the sequence of the Gates, Circulation, Fountain, and Invocation of the Bornless One, I felt like I could climb the highest mountain. I then petitioned Nitika for some supplementary income. The very next day, I got a phone call from a place I'd casually called back in November to see if they were hiring part-time workers. I barely remembered speaking to them, and hadn't sent in a a resume or cover letter at that time. I only emailed them the resume on the day they called me for an interview. Two days later, I got the job, for two more dollars an hour than they usually pay, because they "loved my resume".
I was originally only supposed to help fill in for a few weeks, but they wanted to keep me on, and now I have a regular gig.This also helps me to diversify my skillset, meet interesting people from all around the world, and build my resume. So many thanks to Nitika!
I was feeling very moody for a long time and couldn't figure out why, so I petitioned Kadriel. The next morning, I had an image of the spirit handing me something on a slip of paper. It contained the answer, and it was something so profound yet simple, and I was able to at least keep things in perspective.
A few months ago, I ended things with a lover (post-split from my husband, I've learned what I will and will not stand for) and petioned Kadriel back in June to see how he was dealing with it. (Hey, can't help but to be curious sometimes!) I got a text from a mutual friend the next evening that some of the ex-lover's friends had to admonish him to "quit mooning over the situation" with me. Thank you, Kadriel!
I had been feeling very rundown, angry, and depressed about not only the split with the lover, but also my impending divorce; we've been separated for two years and now only have one more step before it's finalized. Although things were long over even before we separated and we ended on amicable terms, all of the paperwork stirred up a lot of memories both good and bad, and it's been a rough summer. After being able to square away the original mood thing with the help of Kadriel, I didn't want to revert back to feeling awful, but knew it would take more than just being provided with information. I petitioned Zoroel and Sabriel to help me release the anger (I worked with Mars and the color red from the back of the book), but also to regain my vitality, vim and vigor. I began this two days ago, and am smiling again and feeling spiffy when even a few days ago, I was both depleted and roiling with emotions. My leg is no longer hurting, either. Also, the morning after I did the first petition, 4 friends contacted me within the hour to invite me out, chat, and catch up. Since I've been pretty quiet about how I'd been feeling, this was rather serendipitous, and I think the spirits were telling me socializing and remembering people cared about me was important to my well-being.
Prior to this, they also helped me to stick to a diet, and I've lost 7 pounds in two weeks. Even when the emotional urges to eat were rearing their ugly heads, I was still able to make the best choices and not give in.
So thank you, Zoroel and Sabriel! I love being back to my usual cheerful self!
Whenever I do these petitions to the spirits, I also back them up with the color/planet/corresponding chant from the back of the book, and seal everything with Dee-hay-tooth.
