Studio Arcanis

Glad to hear things worked out for you Tremegorn. With that aside I haven't seen anything extraordinary happen with the NAP entities in quite some time; not as like when I started. When I finally get an area I can dedicate to ritual work, I'll definitely be attempting an actual evocation of Elubate...

Wow, I forgot all about this thread. Details are a bit sketchy now due to the time since events occurred, but in November of 2012 I recall applying literally *everywhere* I could for a job. At the last place I applied, I finally got a response and was hired not long after. It didn't pay well, but it...

I've definitely seen sexual abstinence help with performing magic- one of my first teachers suggested limiting it to once every two weeks or less, simply to keep your 'tension' level up, and the result would be advancing faster.

I had a long reply, but apparently the forum ate it? To summarize; Some of those experiences almost sound like you're having some belief issues in general with the system, if the entities are doing some simple stuff like that just to prove they're there.

Gotta say, i'm reminded of Matthew 7:7 when I read about your receiving chocolate. "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you." :) The general purpose invocation might also be a good fit for your current situation, but whatever your d...

I'm not privy to what your magic history is, of course, but the issue of bad luck could have to do with the re-alignment of your being towards the energies the entities in the book reside at. Elubatel for instance is from the 7th Book of Moses, and from the experiences many have listed here, as well...

tremegorn, did abstaining from sex really contributed to your success? :toss I knew this was going to come up eventually. It may have a lot more to do with my 'upbringing' being in Bardonic / Golden Dawn type ceremonial magic, but I will provide a (hopefully) adequate explanation. In popular Grimor...

Sent you a PM Metagion

Metagon, I started out practicing magic without owning a single book, learning everything from online and other people. There's definitely something to be said for having a physical text but it definitely isn't necessary for seeing results, if you follow the rituals to the letter. Even if you don't ...
