@jacobdiden8967 It depends what you mean. That's not a term that I would use, necessarily. Mostly because that word has so many misconceptions attached to it. I don't need to feed off of others to sustain myself if that's what you mean. But that's because I integrate the Light side of my being as well, instead of locking it off like a lot of others do. I did notice a change in mindset. I also noticed a change in my "energy." I think the whole idea of vampires and werewolves are associated with unconscious repression of our animalistic impulses. Sure, there are spiritual beings, much like these two archetypes. And, sure, there's some connection to astral "transformation." But, mostly, it seems to have to do with repressed aggression. If you go through the Qliphoth, and all that happens, is that you become more aggressive or dependent on others, then you more than likely only opened your shadow side. It still needs to be integrated. Otherwise, you will be its slave. And that is not mastery or "godhood."
@jacobdiden8967 Haha, maybe just go get some fresh air instead? Be well. And let me know if you have any more questions. Feel free to email instead if you like: 8olve.et.coagu7a@gmail.com
Very good introduction. Music is huge for me. The right sounds for me are the best triggers when trying to get into the right mode. I value silence too but I usually start with music while I perform then somewhere before it's over I stop my soundscapes and then just try to be receptive in silence. That with everything you mentioned here helps a lot. The only thing I never do is timing it with astrology. I know it could perhaps help but I tend to just spontaneously break out in The Witchcraft.
@badcooper235 Yes! Music is something I could've mentioned as well, thank you. Same. I could definitely work with natural cycles more than I do. Although, I do use them as long as it's not too inconvenient. Would you work with planetary hours and moon phases, or "just" the seasons?
I've never practiced any kind of ceremonial magick. Even so, I found this very interesting, just observing / learning about something new. Seems like solid advice on knowing symbolism and personal symbolism and approaching a magickal path (most especially a doorway into the "night" side) with care and gravitas. Also gradually. The slowness, I would think, allows for a deeper experience and would be important when exploring the complexity of shadow. I work with light and dark deity (Boann & the Calleach.) Not exactly the same but I relate to the principles you mention as best practices. The "cool parent" metaphor made me smile.
@lauramayfair7887 In that case, I very much appreciate your time and feedback! Absolutely, knowledge of symbolism can mean a world of difference when we're attempting to communicate with something like the unconscious "mind." Gradually does seem to be the appropriate way. That's the major reason I like using "The Ladder of Lights" and the "Stairs of Shadow," so to speak. It's much easier to avoid accidently slipping into the pit or being tempted to dive head-first into things we weren't ready for and locked away. As always, I recommend people work through their virtuous side first, though. I've never worked with those entities, but I have great respect for both of them. The closest to them that I've gotten in my practice is maybe Cernunnos and Ceridwen? Hehe, I'm glad you liked that metaphor. Thanks for your time and interest. I very much enjoy talking with you. Be well!
9:54 Remember this, folks...
Thanks for watching, and stay tuned for more videos on shadow work and other facets of the occult!
did you become a vampire while going through the Qlippoth?
