So far, have only worked with Arzel and Elubatel. Elubatel will work with me, no problem, but found that the other invocations were just fizzling. I.e., I saw nothing, felt nothing. Whereas I feel both Arzel and Elubatel as a strong presence, hear knocks, see a presence out of the corner of my eye, etc.
I've been smoking weed like a chimney for the past year (50% of the time as a medical user, but the rest of the time, if I'm honest with myself, not for any "necessary" reason). Arzel made it clear to me that he wouldn't work with me if I approached NAP work after smoking, and wouldn't put me in touch with any other spirits (except for Elubatel - anyone have any thoughts as to why this might be? I have my suspicions based upon Elubatel stories on this forum). He also made it clear that this was a condition of doing *this* magick and has nothing to do with other magick I did (I was doing quasi-shamanic stuff and connecting to a spirit of cannabis itself, for quite some time). He also is giving me the impression that I need to do magickal work on the health problems that made me get my medical marijuana card to begin with.
The irony is that the last couple of times, I've felt bored while smoking (defeating the purpose of much of my smoking, which if im honest, was to relieve boredom), have experienced nothing psychedelic or interesting (that I couldn't experience doing magick), and ended up just feeling tired. I'm also starting to feel uncomfortable when I'm stoned, to the degree that I don't like to smoke outside of social situations anymore. Quite suddenly. It's enough of a deterrent to make me want to switch to a non-psychedelic strain entirely (for when I use it for actually medicating - there are high CBD/low THC strains that relieve pain but don't make you high).
TL;DR: Arzel doesn't want me to smoke weed.
Thanks Arzel and Elubatel... I guess... Lol! This stuff works!
What's your crazy story?
