Linking

 Most forms of magick will require you to link ideas or concepts of a spell together in your head, such as "protect" and "oneself". Connections aren't fully constructs, they are just a mental step in completing a spell; a subset of a larger construct. These are also applied to energy constructs, but should probably be learnt before attempting harder endeavours. Links can be made with people, objects, organisms, concepts and thoughtforms. 

Repeated chanting of incantations is a great example, which can be done easily via saying the intent out loud multiple times to drive it into your head. Your mind interprets what you are saying and once you "understand", you experience a state close enough to gnosis for magick to work. Your mind makes the connections itself and you can just use a charging method to further strengthen the spell. This can be done by keeping on repeating the exact same intent over and over, strengthening the flow state. 

The application of this method with people is rather intrusive. It involves visualizing the person's ego or mind, or the version of them you've created in your mind and connecting to that. This was mostly for use with psionic skills. This method of linking was taught to me by one of my magickal teachers, who was a chaote as well. To be honest, I didn't even know what a chaote was at that time, and only recently I figured out he was a chaote by his advanced practices. Originally, I did not know what to do with this ability. Programming links seemed impossible, but in magick any construct can be programmed. The thing is that it takes much more than just practice. It requires research and reading a method from different perspectives in order to achieve more.

The method described should foster a sense of connection, particularly in a peer-to-peer context. Feel the presence of the person close to you, then allow yourself to open up, permitting an unobstructed energy exchange between you. A link is fundamentally about letting someone sense your energy, which may provide insights into your being, enhancing their understanding of you. For constructs or thoughtforms, such a link facilitates their collaborative functioning.

Programming connections is the next step to success, especially in the field of energy programming. Energy links are subsets of larger thoughtforms, but there are different types of thoughtforms and subsequently different types of links. As your understanding of thoughtforms broaden, so will connections. Let's end this post off with examples.

I generally see poppets as a prime example of how connections can be used to manifest. 

For Poppets, ask yourself: What do I want this poppet to do?
Is it going to signify someone symbolically for use with symbolic magick?
Is it going to act as a figurative version of them for use with baneful magick?
Is it going to serve as protection, or redirect baneful magick away from someone?

For energy constructs there are two common connections I know about. Links that "tie" constructs together to make sure they're connected even though they don't interact with each other. This allows you to call both by just calling one. The other link is one that allows information to flow from one construct to another an d vice versa.

The preternatural's blend-in with "normalcy"

Imagine every person you know started their day off with a personalized version of the LBRP ritual and went to coven meetings ? The unrealized normality of "magic" is often underrated and overlooked. When my mind starts wandering into the theory of magical practice, I do think it definitely doesn't seem as everyday as most things, but could definitely be at further inspection. The general symbolism and near-superstition we attach to the mundane everyday routine is what, I assume, contributes to our reassurance that whatever we've done is done right the first time. Note that dictionary definitions for mundane such as "banal" or "unimaginative" could suggest boringness, but I'm sure most people would agree that an unimaginative get-together is still something that could be enjoyed if conversation– which I also consider quotidian – is satisfactory. Hence 'being satisfied' and the sense of enjoyment could still be present alongside our eve...

My Not-So-Secret Hobby

Photo by luis gomes You might or might not know this, but I started learning to code in 2021. A dear friend taught me the basics of Python, but it was essentially up to me to decide if I was going to further my self-education of this coding language. At the time he taught me about variables, loops, lists and dictionaries in 3 days. Even though it was a lot to take in, it was something I really wanted to learn, which made it easier for me to absorb. I was hooked, until I realized I didn't have enough knowledge to build basically anything, which led me to try and learn from freecodecamp. It didn't work for me, honestly. The lessons were "interactive" in a sense, but weren't split into episodes or chapters which would've made it easier to keep track of where I left off the previous session. I tried other sources on YT to no avail. Udemy was next. This one helped me immensely to build both skill and confidence in my ability to code. Though I'm still building ...

A dream about my grandmother

I just had a dream about my grandmother. Well, I actually had quite a few dreams about her before waking up, but the last one was really impactful. I was walking in church looking for a place to sit and found an open space, but people sitting in that space told me it's reserved for their family, so I had to get up and find someplace else to sit. I walked around and saw my grandmother sitting next to an open space. She saw me and immediately invited me to sit next to her. For the first time I experienced the feeling of deep wistfulness and longing, as the feeling I got when I saw her is comforting. I walked up to the open space and she said: "You've forgotten about me, haven't you?", looking visibly upset. The space she kept open was just big enough for me to sit down comfortably, as if she's been waiting for me all this time. I embraced her tightly and warmly, wondering if the break she took from our household has made her a bit stronger. During her last days ...
