Hello everyone.
I begin by thanking you all for your welcome.
Anyone who does not know me can read something
about me in the presentations.
Although the title of this tread is reminiscent of a 90s TV series, it explains very well what the content will be.
I intend to post what I have learned and will discover
in this new path of mine.
Just like many, I landed on this forum looking for information, and I learned many fundamental things.
I hope this little contribution of mine can help someone someday.
Well, let's get to the practical things.
The New Avatar Power is a perfect book to approach
with invocations and rituals.
I found many difficulties in the rituals described in
other grimoires, due to complicated materials or timing
for my situation.
In NAP I found a fascinating system, simple to implement. But in its simplicity, it taught me what I believe is a fundamental characteristic in life,
especially in that of a magician: Discipline.
Meditating after invoking Arzel, learning the words of
power and invocations, pronunciations,
doing the ritual possibly at the same time and place:
all these directives are carried out for self-discipline, to train the mind and establish a connection with the Entity.
The first discipline lesson you will encounterwill be
to read the entire book before performing the rituals. Personally I found this warning from Mr. Cobb very useful, because many times we rush to want to grab spells and curses like in a flea market, losing all context, origins and true purpose.
Why is this spell or ritual in this magical book?
What is the purpose of the book?
Why is it in my hands today?
This was my first lesson.
I will also pause for a minute on the question of authenticity. I have often read of people wondering if a PDF version has the same "power" as a paper version.
I had a PDF version.
At the time, original paper versions were not possible
in my country, and purchasing them was not an option either, due to the high cost.
Much later, I learned that Mr. Cobb's daughter Vicky has arranged to provide a reprint.
But how could I have solved it at the time?
Showing due respect to the essence of the book.
And how?
I translated the book into my language by hand.
I could insert the file directly into Google translate,
and be content with a bland translation, useful for making the words of the rituals understandable, but I didn't.
So I created my own book of the New Avatar Power.
I'm still here, I haven't been hit by any curses and the rituals have worked well.
But because at the base there is respect, love for what I was doing and respect for what someone else did.
Second lesson for me.
I don't want to create long posts, so I will divide them into parts so that it is more usable to read.
I want to tell about my experiences with Entities,
of how I avoided Elubatel because my mind was conditioned by some voices of "depression" that I had heard around,
of the beautiful relationship created with Nitika,
of the magic that is in saying thank you,
of how these entities change your being.
For now, consider this post as my premise.
See you next time!
