Psychic Paths: Part 1
There are more paths than this. You may find in your practice that the reflective work is not clicking. There are common elements of the mind, but there are notable deviations also. Mine is one such. The Greeks used to seek out those who suffered from the condition I had as a juvenile to serve…

Psychic Paths: Part 2
There is a force in the world that makes the frogs stay in their ponds and guides the birds in their flights. Makes all things seek their place. It is not outside of you, but has a connection to things outside. In magick, it’s the law of affinity. The animals themselves need not normally seek…

Possession Phenomenon
Possession is a common theme for paranoid schizophrenics, but there is something real behind it and it isn’t what you see on TV or movies. We don’t exist in a world of matter and objects. We exist in systems of energy, and that idea that we are nicely self contained, is a half truth at…

Identifying Possession
How to spot possession? It’s actually not that hard, and it’s also not that common. A deluded person will create a shallow schism. They will be projecting a role more than an actual different consciousness, and the mental processes thought messy, will be connected to each other like badly written fiction. Some people adopt a…

Host and Entity
On the subject of exorcism, and partially why it doesn’t seem to work really well in this day and age, is for an exorcism to free the host it has to mirror the same process as the possession, sort of like deprogramming a brainwashing subject. At one point invoking the Catholic principles was pretty universal.…

Necromantic Practice
We are discussing necromancy. Keep in mind, I can discuss many things that I may or may not practice. Necromancy is actually very simple, as well as being highly controversial. It has been called a lot of things, and maybe one of the clearest is bone reading. Do any of you have in your possession…

Sin Eater
What amounts to a necromantic practice is that of the Sin Eater. The Sin Eater was a person who performed a rite that is based on a Christian concept. Every sin must be atoned for, yes? If one could not receive final absolution, then one of the village, a Sin Eater, would perform a rite over…

Spiritual Sacrament
The tribes in Indonesia that eat the brains of their loved one’s are practicing necromancy? In a sense they are, but for them it hasn’t broken from their shamanism. So it is in a sense a spiritual sacrament for them, and in some traditions of necromancy eating portions of the dead was practiced. I would…

Occult Science
If you view a living soul a specific way then the dead are the same. A good bulk of the late medieval era/early renaissance necromancy had prayers to God, the Christian God, and many seemingly very pious acts, as did Nostradamus rites of invocation before he divined. Usurped like many of todays festivals? Actually, yes.…

Aware of Spirits
Usually children or pets tend to be aware of the world differently. The young animals that have bonded with people, and the children not brainwashed by imperialistic schooling. So often, someone who has a surviving pet, or a child that was born just before the death of a family elder, will see the departed person. I…

Energy Sensitivity
I am discussing psychic vampirism. I discuss a broad range of subjects and hit just about everything. It isn’t an endorsement or criticism of any practice or phenomenon. Have you noticed that not everyone seems to have a normal energy cycle? They sleep irregularly and are sometimes energized when they should be fatigued? Energetically, we…

Energy Phases
Consider a sunny day. The flowers are open. The sky is clear and maybe not too hot, and the birds are singing. This is the world with a normal balance of energy. Have any of you been to a place that seemed almost the opposite of this? It seemed to drink up your energy like…

See In Darkness
The cane fields parted last night. One half went to the right, the other half to the left. A clear line was drawn. The darkness of that message was on its path. So you read this omen? As it was happening, I could smell the change in the air. It was pungent. I got chicken…

Psychic Drain
There are certain people that leave me feeling drained consistently. Are they really draining me? What can I do about it? They may be, but are they draining you or taxing you? Hmmm, they don’t annoy me or anything like that. One is a friend who I like, but I can only see her for…

Dark Arts
I’m going to describe a scene. Tell me if any of you have dreamed of this. It’s like the real world, your house or whatever, but dark. Almost like night, but you can see everything. Sort of like objects glow, and you feel a presence. Maybe not in your immediate space, but it seems to…
-
Dark And Light Mana
Let’s discuss problem psychic vampires. When unaware they tend to be angry people, and you can feel it because they don’t just drain you, they negate you. Even if they aren’t being mean to you, it is just very hard to be present with them, though not all unpleasant people are psychic vampires. A psychic…
-
Light and Shadow
Light siders have aggression too by the way. So understand the other. Not every one who is dark is your enemy. Dark and light can be very intimate and mutually supportive. When you are attacked by dark, including psychic vampires, recall your strength, and I don’t necessarily mean your teaching. I mean that inner light in…
-
Our Inner Demons
Inner demons. I’m not actually going to talk about what might seem to be implied by the topic, but I will be talking about inner demons. People say demons, and ghosts, and things, are just fantasies. Just in your head. Well, this is the dirty little secret that even your pasts don’t really tell you…
Category: Dark Metaphysics
There are very few frank and well reasoned discussions of the dark side of metaphysics. So I thought a class focused on the darker side of metaphysics might serve a valuable role.
What I classify as dark actually falls into what might be called the “shadowed” real of the already occult. This series on Dark Metaphysics is not for indulging anyone’s morbidity. Nor will I advocate the egotistical behaviour associated with many posers to the dark side. It may mirror for you your own path, and thus teach you more about your own way, and you may discover that it is your personal way.
What do you want to know about the dark side?
“The laws and descriptions which make up the literature of occultism can never be a substitute for experience. They indicate directions in which experiment may be made, and in many cases their validity may be known quite promptly to those who will pursue their indications with resolution and energy. They are not intended as a field for … speculation.” Hugh Shearman, An Approach to the Occult
