You should always give a time limit like within the next week, month, etc. Whenever you need to get your results. Longer time frames usually will allow for bigger and better results, but sometimes you need stuff right away. So cast appropriately.<br /><br />Once your time limit runs out the ritual is complete. You can recast at that point if you did not get a result within the time frame.<br /><br />You can decide ahead of time that you are going to do a series of rituals for an objective, but it should be decided on ahead of time and part of your design for the operation. You could do something like casting each day for a week, to perform the ritual in the context of all seven ancient planets. Or you could do it a number of times that is significant to the force you are working with, like 6 for the Sun, 9 for the Moon, and so forth based on the planetary number scale. <br /><br /> Scott Stenwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389664381513219613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294505416127496842.post-63232856102191096942024-01-29T02:03:28.003-06:002024-01-29T02:03:28.003-06:00How many times does one need to repeat the ritual ...How many times does one need to repeat the ritual in order to get some results?Craftman11https://www.blogger.com/profile/15654141012621244823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294505416127496842.post-76831722650333094522023-04-23T15:11:47.481-05:002023-04-23T15:11:47.481-05:001.

Can you explain what you mean a little better here? 5 is the number of Mars and so in a Mars ritual vibrating names 5 times is significant and so forth, just like 5 knocks and/or chimes.

Generally it helps to understand Tarot if you learn more about the mythology related to each card.<br /><br />3.

It's basically like your aura gets more attuned to those energies, if that makes sense. Over time this also helps to mitigate the effects of astrological conditions of whatever sort.<br /><br />The answer is qualified because as far as I know, nobody is ever completely free from negativity or bad astrological influences. I've been at this for more than thirty years and I'm still not completely immune to such things. But I'm way better at handling them than I was when I was starting out, and the magick has helped with that a lot.<br /><br />I will also add that "vampirism" from other people is kind of an exception to the qualifier, because vampiric practices are easy to block and most magicians I know don't have much trouble with them after a few years.Scott Stenwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389664381513219613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294505416127496842.post-33686008251667761342023-02-17T09:52:25.486-06:002023-02-17T09:52:25.486-06:00Can longer practice of magick after some time have...Can longer practice of magick after some time have positive side-effects like making you less anxious about ...some life things?<br /><br />Also when working with Planetary Entities ,do they after some time can help you without you starting something,like being less influenced by retrogades?<br /><br />When someone achieves and stabilizes higher Sephirotic states like Geburah s Vision od Power ,does that mean that they are not influenced by Life s suffering,anxiety,depression , negative vibrations and energeticall vampirism of other people ?I mean they understand negative aspects of this Life ,but the vibrations can t destabilaze them !<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Bishophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00194620822742067849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294505416127496842.post-16879470222471448792023-02-13T19:07:41.574-06:002023-02-13T19:07:41.574-06:00That statement alone, "being in harmony with ...That statement alone, "being in harmony with my will", is a game-changer lol.

Harmony with will is a less nebulous standard than "better," which can mean a lot of things. By referencing my will I am defining myself and my own perspective as the determining factor of "how good" the job I wind up is.<br /><br />As far as layering additional conditions, it can be a balancing act. Going with the "will" definition means that I can wind up with something that I might not expect to work ahead of time, but which actually works out fine. Or something where there are ton of positives that outweigh a handful of negatives. Stuff like that.<br /><br />Where it becomes a balancing act is when you want something pretty specific and set about defining it. You don't want to make it so specific that the odds of success are basically zero, but at the same time you want to be as specific as you can within reason. There is a bit of an art to that, a "feel" that you get about how far you should define what you are going for.Scott Stenwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389664381513219613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294505416127496842.post-54384189706660739072023-02-13T16:15:34.787-06:002023-02-13T16:15:34.787-06:00Ahhh I see a little better now. The charge is pret...Ahhh I see a little better now. The charge is pretty tricky if you don't know what to look for exactly as the WORDING can be taken quite literally...and in same cases...seems to be.<br /><br />So let's say, in the example you gave above about having the spirit bring you a better job...arguably it could be that the spirit brings you a job that is--for all intents and purposes--"better" in that the pay is a dollar more and you shave off 10 minutes in your drive there, but you don't necessarily LIKE the job itself, although, technically, it IS a "better job".<br /><br />That can occur too I'm guessing...if probability shifting is at play...maybe that's "the best you can do" in your situation. So while, in your mind, you're dreaming of a job that you have zero compunctions about getting up for in the morning, the reality is that's just not available and in your present circumstance, a buck more and few extra minutes off your drive is all you can hope for then.<br /><br />Would LAYERING the request make a difference or would you be piling on TOO many conditions that reality couldn't sustain for you and you are ultimately setting yourself (and the spirit) up for failure?Ravennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01407445066576853785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294505416127496842.post-46343313286227149892023-02-12T15:28:37.754-06:002023-02-12T15:28:37.754-06:00If you ask the spirit to bring you an opportunity,...If you ask the spirit to bring you an opportunity, it is absolutely possible that you could miss it by not taking advantage of it. In that case, it works exactly as you describe - the spirits would align the situation so that the opportunity came to you, and once it did, the spell would be complete and would be a success.<br /><br />That's why I never ask the spirits for opportunities. I ask them for exactly what I want.<br /><br />For example, I don't want an opportunity to get a better job. I want a better job. The spell won't complete until I have the better job or the time limit runs out.<br /><br />If you are asking whether a spell where you ask for what you want will complete when an opportunity is presented to you, the answer to that is no. The success condition is the success condition defined in the charge. It should always be phrased as the true success condition.<br /><br />Now, it also is true that even when doing this, there are actions you can take that will make your spell less likely to succeed. If you cast a spell to get that better job and then do no job hunting activities, send out no resumes, and so forth it's a lot less likely to work than if you do a lot of those mundane activities. The magick doesn't create something out of nothing, it makes unlikely things more likely.<br /><br />The idea is that the magick can produce a probability shift of a particular amount. Your mundane actions should be sufficient to bring the likelihood of success within that range. When they overlap, you get a success. The point of doing the magick is that you are going to do substantially better than someone who takes the same mundane steps but does no magick to complement it.Scott Stenwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389664381513219613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294505416127496842.post-32823439969058039472023-02-10T16:20:45.062-06:002023-02-10T16:20:45.062-06:00Hi Scott!
So I was wondering...can someone "...Hi Scott!<br /><br />So I was wondering...can someone "screw up" a successful spell? Like...let's say they ask for "A"...within a particular time period. Let's say "A" represents an opportunity of some kind. Maybe a job or a meeting, what-have-you. "A" comes along, nicely within the time-frame. Once that happens, can the person then ruin the spell by either missing the job/meeting, or out-right refusing it, or is the success of the spell dependent on the person GETTING to that job/meeting? <br /><br />I hope this isn't sounding confusing...(or dumb lol). If you asked the spirits for something to be settup...to occur a number of times...let's say in THIS example, it's a weekly meetup of the social gathering-type. Surprisingly, "out of the blue", you float out the idea and it's a smash hit and voila...everyone is down to do it...could things still "flop" at some point? And thus, the whole thing comes crashing down?<br /><br />I guess my REAL question is...in both examples, once the opportunity has been "delivered", has the spirit done it's job and "washed it's hands" or is the SUCCESS of the what you asked for STILL within it's job task? Or...that part is up to the magician to succeed or screw up however they choose?<br /><br />(Man, typing this out makes it sound so dumb but I swear in my head it sounds much more existentially tangled lol...)<br /><br />Thanks Scott!Ravennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01407445066576853785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294505416127496842.post-19246831192916183082023-02-10T13:50:49.871-06:002023-02-10T13:50:49.871-06:00Generally speaking, I do not recommend doing this....Generally speaking, I do not recommend doing this. The LBRP is a general ritual, and as such it is not intended to tune for specific elements. Maybe you can kind of get this to work, but it is conflating the function of this ritual with the proper one for tuning elements, the Greater Ritual of the Pentagram. Doing the forms properly will yield better results.<br /><br />If you want to banish or reduce the effect of a specific element, use the GBRP for the element to do that. But better still, if what you are looking for is a permanent effect, go ahead and make a talisman of the element that is charged with calming that element down on an ongoing basis. Remember that this works like sphere of influence with planets, so a fire talisman can either increase or decrease the activity of fire.<br /><br />The LRP and GRP are entirely different rituals that do entirely different things. The GRP is in no way a "souped-up" LRP.Scott Stenwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389664381513219613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294505416127496842.post-82093353768905508352023-02-09T12:40:28.524-06:002023-02-09T12:40:28.524-06:00I found out if a natal placement like emphasized ...I found out if a natal placement like emphasized Fire planets (strong Pluto and Mars )can be "calmed"by doing LBRP in blue flames or blue water visualization ?<br />For example when i do LBRP while visualizing blue flames i get a really calm,peacfull effect..if i do in orange or red flames i get ..not calm as water LBRP.<br />Note:I have emphasized Fire planet so this is the deficitom i made.<br /><br />Bishophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00194620822742067849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294505416127496842.post-77277345439534002182023-02-08T18:52:21.747-06:002023-02-08T18:52:21.747-06:00I would say that practicing the rituals to the poi...I would say that practicing the rituals to the point that you can modify them to get the best results for you personally is a good way to go. I wish more people would do that and share their results so we can build up a general overall base of knowledge.<br /><br />As far Benjamin Rowe goes, his work is creative and interesting but I don't find it very relevant to the work that I personally do. Rowe was trained in a system of Qabalah that almost nobody uses and is substantially different from the Golden Dawn / Crowley arrangement and that makes some of his ideas hard to adapt into what I do.

I imagine Scott would be in the top 5 rich people in the world by that logic.<br /><br />Thing is, we don't have a precise measure for magical success. Scott has been working for who knows how long to come up with a model that incorporates consciousness and science and all that. Even before I started going down the magical path I began studying how innate predispositions can make someone more aligned with a certain material area of life, be it love/sex, money, job/career, etc.<br /><br />But thing is it's just two people doing their own thing and that takes a hell of a lot of time. It requires observation and hypothesizing and then experimenting based on whatever hypothesis we'd come up with. If the hypothesis is wrong, we get results that are off with respect to our enquiry. That applies all around, in every research field. That's why, for example, I used to dislike the show "Myth busters" because they often came up with the wrong hypothesis (either by lack of imagination or on purpose).<br /><br />I've found the problem lies within the occult itself. There's too many occultists posing as eggheads who solely preach their narrow knowledge while condemning pretty much everything else (because it often happens it stands against their income from occult matters). Those people and their followers will never seek to understand the phenomenon in depth, but merely enjoy the fruits of their so called higher knowledge spreading (such as how to make offerings). They will never step outside their comfort zone to experiment, probably because they know very little outside what they came to understand and they're afraid to come across as morons if they started speaking about different things they know little about.<br /><br />Now to answer your question, I found that the best way to make things work better FOR YOURSELF is to perform pathworkings and the mystical kind of rituals Scott talks about on this blog. They will allow you, in time, to sharpen your magical skills by coming up with all sorts of tricks that will work very well FOR YOU. If that can be replicated on a larger scale, even better as you would've become a vector of progress.Alex Scaraoschihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08918705565881852467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294505416127496842.post-17729540027355599822023-02-07T04:09:51.036-06:002023-02-07T04:09:51.036-06:00I could maybe imagine a Tarot card coresponding to...I could maybe imagine a Tarot card coresponding to certain Path coloured in all 4 colours!For example The Path Tau-The World in Blue,Black Blue ,Indigo and Blue Black !<br />It seems easier to visualize coloured Tarot then just colours!<br />It s just a energy exercise i try to make my own!Bishophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00194620822742067849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294505416127496842.post-64334019204110910972023-02-07T00:29:32.902-06:002023-02-07T00:29:32.902-06:00It can be in many situations.

Making the rituals more elaborate to include all four worlds can help in some cases, but in others the effect winds up being negligible.<br /><br />A counterpoint argument can be made that suggests focusing on the world most appropriate to your operation might yield a better result because it places all the force of the operation at the most appropriate point. So for example, you might want to go with Assiah only for a material effect or for Yetzirah only when doing an operation like you describe above, to get information on how to accomplish something.<br /><br />My guess is that neither that argument nor the argument that all the worlds should be included are true in all cases. It probably depends on the goal of the operation, how you want to go about it, and how you want the results to manifest.Scott Stenwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389664381513219613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294505416127496842.post-295277210557180872023-02-06T10:53:54.237-06:002023-02-06T10:53:54.237-06:00When somebody affirms all Sephirots from Kether to...When somebody affirms all Sephirots from Kether to Malkhut he can imagine all colours from Spheres while vibrating coresponding God -name !<br />My q is will the rite be stronger and more effective,since we then influence all 4 worlds?Bishophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00194620822742067849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294505416127496842.post-81588717355823172992023-02-06T10:33:42.743-06:002023-02-06T10:33:42.743-06:00I would not say that one approach is better than t...I would not say that one approach is better than the other in general, since I have used both approaches to good effect in a lot of different situations.
