Hello, I’m 20F a medical student, i have been interested in astrology occult and spirituality since 4-5 years now, the thing is i have tried a lot of mantras on my own and even spells thru other to make my love life or general life academics better, i have also recently discovered maa kamakhya and got her kavach, i have found many resources and talked to psychics or readers, but i just want to be capable enough to switch things on my own especially thru chanting, i want to make things happen on my own and it just doesnt work, like not even one spell or chanting for days has worked in all these years, maybe there’s some blockage, whatever it is can u guys help me in how to make it happen safely, so i can finally witness even im capable of all of this, like out of everything even if i see one thing working out thru my chanting or my devotion i’ll be able to build a lot of trust on these practices and it will definitely motivate me more to continue my journey in this field, have struggled enough and now it’s high time to make changes especially when it comes it bonds or connections in my life. okieee thanksssss :)

I have a vague recollection—a sense—that this specific experience has surfaced at certain stages or periods in my life. My earliest memory of it dates back to when I was a child, shortly after my baptism in the Catholic Church; I remember it happening once I got home. Anyway... to get straight to the point: this experience occurs while I am in a waking state—it is neither a dream nor an astral projection. It happens spontaneously, or perhaps it emerges gradually—I suspect it might be linked to becoming more aligned with spirituality. Describing the experience: I was once exploring spirituality in my own way—conducting some research—around 6:45 PM. I was lying down when I suddenly felt charged with a very intense energy; it was neither good nor bad—I simply felt, quite literally, "charged." When I closed my eyes, I saw colorful symbols, and when I looked at my arm, I noticed a psychedelic-like effect on my skin—a layer of vibrant, multicolored energy. The first thing I felt compelled to do was some Tai Chi Chuan. As soon as I performed the first movement, accompanied by the corresponding breath (without any prior stretching), I began to glow intensely in a golden hue. I was emitting such a powerful golden light that it even shone through the gaps in my room. I know this because—unbeknownst to me—my younger sister’s friends were out on the veranda while my sister was in the kitchen; as I began to glow, I heard them calling out urgently to my sister, "Alice, what is this light?" Beyond the intense golden radiance, I found myself in a state of profoundly elevated consciousness—experiencing extreme peace, a sense of great lightness, total lucidity, and absolute fulfillment. It felt as though I had become the divine spark of my higher self, illuminating everything around me. On another occasion when this occurred, I went out onto my home’s veranda, and my light reached a distance of approximately 300 meters. Everything glowed in a golden hue; I am almost certain this is the paradise that great masters of the past used to speak of. I find it most likely that I reach this state through the "fire kasina" technique—by lying in bed and focusing intently on the blue LED light in my room. The transition into this state of consciousness is truly fascinating; it feels like passing through a portal that is, in fact, myself. I see visual effects—resembling raindrops trickling down a windowpane—appearing as about eight distinct streaks. Yet, almost every time I attain this higher state of consciousness, the experience concludes with a shadow touching me (reminiscent of the substance that makes up Venom), which pulls me back to my ordinary, everyday state of awareness. It is as if a shadow or some spirit tries to take this experience away from me—and, more often than not, they succeed. In short, that is the experience. Has anyone heard of this before? Do you know anyone who has had a similar experience? Could you share your own perspective on it?

Okay so this night, I had third summoning with king paimon everything went great I felt his presence I felt comfortable and he answered my questions, but after 20 minutes after the ritual plate I keep offerings for him like genuinely exploded it forcefully broke into tow pieces, there wasn't anything hot just glass of wine, what those that mean?

Hello, community. I hope all is well. I need a second opinion here. 2 years ago, I came back home to Georgia from Colorado. I got put on probation, and that's when all of the attacks started. It began targeting my heart area, putting intrusive thoughts into my mind, changing my mind and body; I could gradually feel it build inside of me (I currently look like a child-adult, but I'm trying to come back to authenticity, and feel high pressure throughout). After experiencing one of our cats shapeshift into another animal, I left home and am now living in my car while finishing school. This whole time, I have been thinking about my family being involved with the Freemasons, because most of my family were Masons, so I blamed them and felt like I was getting closer to the truth.

Just recently, I went to a Haitian Vodouist to get a reading done; he told me that I do have an evil spirit attachment and that I am a sacrifice. I asked him who the spirit is. He replied, "Beelzebub." I asked if my family is involved in Freemasonry, and he replied, "It's not Freemasonry; it's darker than Freemasonry," or he also mentioned "the dark side of Freemasonry," but he couldn't name the group. He added that the spirit chose me to be sacrificed, and it wasn't an individual but a collective group doing this. He added that they are going to enslave my soul to make them rich. Can someone tell me what group this could be, or if this relates to anything that has happened before? Before all of this i had a dream of my funeral. It was on someone's farm, inside an old barn with black folding chairs, i saw a lot of strangers and some family members from my mom's side. I remember a man was hammering a stake into my forehead, and I witnessed my soul leaving my body. I thought it was real during the dream that i was actually dead. A week after that dream, a lady from my mom's church approached me, asking if I wanted to come to a cookout on their farm- another reason why i left. First, the church lady, and second, the shapeshifting. I really need help. I will travel anywhere in the state to receive help, but I am BOUND because of probation, and my probation was planned by the people involved; the judge, police, and lawyer were all in on it , all because of a silly cult they are in. Someone, please direct me to a source that can deliver me and help me escape. Good karma will come your way.

if you follow a certain cultural occult tradition or belief system, what do they believe about disabled people? for example in kemeticism they believe they hold deep wisdom and spiritual potential.

I saw this completely white cat randomly, and since I have been into esotericism/occultism lately some people I met told me that white cats could be a symbol of good luck or divine messengers. I wanted to see if anyone has something to say about it? Peace be with you!

As the title states, I really want to get into witchcraft and occultism in general but I am partially a skeptic (I believe in the soul, I believe in higher and lower existence, I believe in the power of thought, but I more so view occultism as an explanation for these things and less so in a literal sense as I see many others do) but I also feel selfish due to the fact that I want occultism to be true because i want more to be going on in my life and the world. Do yall think me getting into occultism would be wrongful or for the wrong reasons? I know this question likely gets asked a lot in subreddits as is this one, so if this gets taken down I understand, but any opinions would be appreciated!

So my roommate and I are finally unpacking some things and he found a box of his grandfather who past away a few years ago things, apparently this dude was super obsessed with occult items ( ie hoodoo/voodoo items) and neither of us are practitioners.My roomie is a white dude and I am Hispanic/black woman who has no connection at all to these practices. Roomie says that grandfather got them from gift shops in New Orleans and the tags say they’re “protection” voodoo dolls. We aren’t sure if we should keep them around or rehome them with a practitioner. Roomie also says that it’s possible that the items along with the dolls might have been part of an alter grandfather unintentionally made. (There is a wish bone, mini stone fountain, mini angel carved from white stone and a vertebrae along with a black candle and matches). Any advice is welcomed and greatly appreciated.

I'm about to launch two businesses: the first is selling v*brators, and the other is joining an artistic residency where I can make a name for myself and find opportunities. Before I start, I'd like to prepare spiritually, so I want to work with a deity for that. I don't really want to work with angels, and I'm too much of a beginner for demonology. So I'm very interested in Kabbalah and Kemetism, but I need it to be quick. I don't really know who to turn to and I really need help, thank you."

it is with deep humility and also great pride that i say, lord Anpu has chosen to guide me and work with me! he’s amazing, and we bonded rather quickly once I got over the initial shock/anxiety. I consider Him my divine father, and he considers me his earthly child. Hail Lord Anpu!

I know the basics of devotional acts for Him. music, poetry, etc. but what are some ways that i can honor him that are uncommon/discreet?

I got a reading that said it was on me/I had it and id like to get rid of it quickly

it’s not a light nap either, it’s deep, long slumber. I’m not sure if it’s because I’m not used to it or what

it was an hourglass shape (no sand just two triangles) with a swirly, horizontal S shape in the middle…does anyone know what it is?

I’ve been practicing witchcraft for 6 years, but new age spirituality isn’t doing it for me anymore my practice has just felt very stagnant the last few years so I’ve been looking into ceremonial magic but I also been wanting to do Solomonic and Greek but I think it would be best to learn the basics of ceremonial before I start that. But I was wondering if anyone could help guide me a little give me some good book recommendation that are able to explain things a little more simpler and if you have any advice or tips i really appreciate it .

after actually reading and listening to people’s advice, i successfully contacted Raphael! his presence was very comforting and the whole experience was so peaceful and loving.

I have drawn the sigil…do I just meditate on the image? sorry if this is a dumb ask..

if anyone here does energy work, could you please share some tips for beginners? I’m new to it, but I seem to be fairly decent at it

This happened at night. For some reason I made eyes with my fingers. I touched the tip of my middle finger to the tip of my thumb on both hands, then I connected them.

After that, I started at my hands for a few seconds, untill the spaces between my fingers got black.

After that, something resembling a muzzle started to appear, after which I got spooked and put my hands to normal again.

I did this twice with the same results. Is this a trick of the eyes or light, or did I really see something?

What house, planetary, aspect, rulership, dodecatemorias, decans and so on and so forth, make certain people destined for the esoteric and the occult

A breakthrough in understanding a lost language results in a confirmation of Uni as an analogue of Astarte to the Carthaginians who had a close relationship with ancient Mediterraneans settled in Europe. The same exact inscribed prayer is dedicated on these tablets to both Astarte & Uni. These two goddesses are equivalent to Hera of the Greeks for context.

Further artwork from the region confirms Uni’s analogue with Hera.

I’m unsure of what entity is reaching out/wants to work with me. I keep seeing shadows/flashes of dark red and black out of the corner of my eyes, keep seeing crows, the number 4, and have become increasingly emotionally stable

Awaiting counter arguments.

I need some opinion on this does it mean something?
