Introduction
The topic for this week is about integrating magick with the demons and spirits in our lives. For many to do magick means to do intense and elaborate rituals making it intimidating to many to incorporate it in their daily lives. Lots of magick groups and secret societies will have protocols and will make it complicated to keep it secret. Lots of people use all these fancy terms to make it complicated; to be hard to understand. Akelta went through all the occult books and dissected the rituals to figure out why they did what they did and simplified it. She was confused with some of them at first until she broke it down and realized that within all of it, it all was just about raising the energies. Her occult research also coincided with business. There are simple ways to integrate magick and demons into our daily lives and truly there are lots of ways that it already is naturally flowing within our lives. It’s our birth right and natural to do magick it’s not exclusive. Everyone has psychic abilities we just need to remember how to use them.
Magick is Everywhere
Akelta mentioned that sex work is the oldest practice in the world and shamanism is the second oldest. Shamans convey and connect others to the spiritual world. Our bodies are always moving, and our senses are always picking up stimuli from the energies including the spiritual world once we are open to it. Even when we are in a sleep state, we can explore our mind and connect. So you don’t need secret societies to practice magic. Whether you realize it or not magick is a part of our lives i.e. manifestations as simple as finding a penny and seeing it as a good luck sign or as Akelta’s grandma would say “oh more money is coming”. This is magick. Magick is commanding energy to shift/pull to you what you want. This also goes with sayings that we will believe in like “what goes around comes around” which Akelta’s mom mentioned when they were debating execration and Akelta mentioned that saying/belief in and of itself is a curse. The barebones of magick is about putting it out there and guiding your intentions.
Focusing Spells in your Life
When you want to do a more focused spell you begin by creating a space/focal point to direct energies to something specific. If you decide to do an altar for the spell to direct the energies, you would choose materials that would enhance and resonate with the spell to elevate the energies.
As an example, let’s say you want to do a love spell:
The basis of the spell is you want to attract someone for a relationship. You would then set up an altar with things to raise the energies to that with things like rose scents, pink candles, rose quartz anything reminiscent of love. Doing all this sets the energy. As you raise the energies you are redirecting the energies to the altar you set up then sending it to the universe to pull your desire in. You want to focus on getting into the energy state for instance with the love spell you want to be focusing on feeling things like love, happy, charismatic and focus it in the spell.
We can work magick into our everyday i.e. from waking up you can start with affirmations and begin pulling things to you by saying things like “I know they’re close, I know I’m on my way to it/them” it can be little moments to charge the energy, it’ll build the momentum.
If you want to work with money spells on the other hand you would focus on removing blocks. You want to be open to possibilities and in the spell, you’re clearing any negative self-chatter. We are taught from an early age that often spirits and spells aren’t real, these beliefs stunt our growth and possibilities of manifestations. Lots of times rituals are just about breaking beliefs to feel like you can do this, to take your power back. Rituals can strip the false beliefs and focus your energy to what you want.
What is not believing in something?
Basically, it’s a block. We believe what our physical senses give us but not necessarily our spiritual senses. Fear is a huge block to have. For instance, fear of death or spirits that some have yet in some Asian countries they don’t shun death and talk to ancestors. If we believe so strongly that something is not real, we’ll close ourselves from the possibility. At times even our physical senses can be influenced by beliefs lets say you are looking for an item and it’s in front of you but as you don’t believe it is and believe strongly it’s lost you can’t find it. However, another person may find it right in front of you since there isn’t a block for them. The occult and business are also tied together as in order to manifest you must believe to see it, it’s you that’s making it work. You must believe in it.
Connecting with Demons in Our Daily Life
Akelta likes big rituals but it’s her preference as each person will be unique in their choice. Let’s say you want to connect to a Dark Lord or Lady (DL) it doesn’t have to be an elaborate ritual to connect you can just do a small DL altar and focus on the sigil and build communication and foundations from there. In everyday communication you can even talk about silly/little things with them. You’ll develop working relationships with them, you’ll figure out aspects of their personality, and what they are like i.e. how they’re cheeky and how you are. It’s a process of getting to know each other.
When thinking of connecting with demons some people are worried about insulting them or doing something wrong. Akelta used the example of when she was in Japan. The family she stayed with had a different culture from hers, but she tried to learn it and even when she made a mistake, they still appreciated her because there was sincerity in her desire to learn about them. Even if she was making mistakes she was trying and still in the process of figuring it out, so they would help teach her and felt thankful for her interest. It’s the same as approaching demons just be respectful- use your intuition and they’ll teach you as well as help you through it. It’s not about doing archaic rituals but your intuitive journey with them. Akelta says this is also why when she gives the 21-day bonding ritual she prefaces it with saying it’s truly up to us to choose how we want to approach it and to be free to modify it.
As long as you don’t say mean/rude things to them or threaten them like “I’ll burn you” you will be fine. It’s finding the best method of communication for you. There is often a fear tactic of rigidity in doing rituals certain ways i.e. Catholicism or even schools of magic have examples of this. Some people will insist that if you don’t follow this ritual this exact way then the demon will attack you, but Akelta says that’s not the case. However, if you think of the example of spitting in someone’s face of course they’ll retaliate so just be respectful.
When working with companions if you can hear them you can have conversations from the moment you wake up. Even if it seems simple just including them in your life like asking “how are you today?” etc. is a great way to interact. You shouldn’t be sacrificing your physical life and well being to build your senses or work with companions, but rather be empowered through the process. Let the magick and being around your companions be a part of leading you to the life you want to live i.e. even things like taking care of kids and work can be a part of your routine together. For example, Akelta’s Pitbull, Bruce got out one day and she asked her demons to please help find him and bring him home, which they did.
Akelta also worked with a girl whose friend lost his dog and she suggested to meditate with Lord Camio. The friend had a vision of his dog in a specific location and when he went there found his dog. So, they can really aid and interact with us in many ways.
Akelta will also ask for help to protect her kids, or if driving in an area with lots of winding roads. You can ask for protection in this way and incorporate them in that aspect.
If you need money you could work to manifest it and ask for help in receiving the amount/goal desired. All these actions bring magick to your life and bring further power to it.
It can be as simple as waking up and stating “I’m going to work with my demon companions to get to this today, things always work for me, today is a good day for me or I want to get this free today”. You can also set intentions for financial assistance for the day ahead.
If you can’t hear your companions you just need to be open to them to be able to start getting messages from them and again, they can hear you clearly. Akelta gave an example of someone with a succubus who had an experience one night of one of their toys randomly at night saying “I love you” to him, which shocked him. If open even if skills are not developed, they can hear us, visit us in dreams, can influence friends, or see shadows in view/corner of eyes, among many other things to give us signs or messages.
All rituals lead you and your energy to where you want to go.
Remember your demon companions can hear you even if you can’t hear them yet. If you open your energies to them, they can shift things i.e. through songs as they can change it (have messages), guide us to research, etc.
An example of manifestations of demons in the physical is one day Akelta’s mom said you must listen to this song which happened to be Tiger (Akelta’s DC) song. She also got a journal as a present from someone that resonated completely with Tiger and his preference.
Experiences of Rituals in Daily Life
For Akelta it comes in, and just flows in very specific ways. It becomes natural. When dealing in mindsets in business you’re tapping into lots of metaphysical powers. It’s about mastering your self and taking charge of your life with your beliefs and using the universal laws, it’s all a part of success building and building the momentum towards your desires.
One business guy Akelta knew for instance wouldn't agree to something unless his inner council all agreed on the decision. He would go into his mind and talk to them all until they agreed to make the decision. Any time he was rushed he found that it would blow up in his face and when they agreed the venture turned out successfully.
Akelta’s Islamic mentor conjured and did magic with djinn he would have them for specific things. Through his methods his whole family could escape from Africa with the money they had. He had specific rituals for everything. When you apply it in daily life it empowers you.
Science and Magick
Akelta thinks that science and magic will converge at some point. She often takes theories and will ground them back to magic to help understand it. As of now a lot of science doesn’t have the capacity to study a lot within the metaphysical but may with time integrate more.
Laughter’s effect for example was being studied in Japan and it was found that those that watched comedies and laughed every day had a positive effect on their health and healed more quickly than those that did not. Laughing is a high vibrational energy and it can get you out of your worst moments, it’s very healing. Laughter can banish i.e. malicious spirits can be rendered powerless to laughter. It’s a healing and empowering energy.
Akelta thinks we’ll be more in tune with realms and dimensions in the future. Science is built through mysticism and imagination it creates the hypotheses and the directions for people to test if something is able to be proven or not.
Writing: Goals and Journaling
Akelta in the morning and night writes out her goals. In the morning she sets intentions in them and for the night in preparation for the dream state it’s to focus on goals and problem solving on how to get her desires, as dreams can provide answers.
Handwriting creates a link between the hand and the mind, it’s powerful to do. Writing is magic. Her mentor would also write out mantras 108 times or more. As it can amplify the intention or affirmation. You can also do this with a demons enn as it can deeply connect you to their energies.
Journaling is a great practice. It’s excellent to write out elaborate details of the life you desire, writing out and enforcing feelings toward the desire can help build that momentum of the life you want to experience and live. In the journal by writing what you would be feeling getting the desire helps move the energy through your body to help with those manifestations.
Working with the magick and spirits around us
Even if people are simple in their mindsets, they still incorporate magic in their own lives through thoughts, beliefs, even walking, snoring. It all alters the energies around us.
Akelta prefers to focus her energies on what she wants to build and let it grow instead of allowing any negative thoughts to take over her mind. Akelta starves out any thoughts she doesn’t want to have, so she builds and is creative with what she wants and at times has others join to build that desired energy. If you don’t want things to grow just focus on the opposite.
Ghosts and spirits are all over the place and when you realize how close in proximity they are is when you begin to open to them. There are two types of scenarios that may happen when people begin to be open to spirits.
1) They may become sensitive and freak out
2) A negative spirit latches to someone and they don’t know how to handle it (luckily very rare)
Opening our senses can cause fear. But in order to connect just believe in it to sense and connect.
Anxiety and Awakening Senses
In terms of feeling anxiety Akelta’s mentor would say it’s based off fear and that it’s a similar vibration to excitement. So, if you changed anxiety to excitement it would be easier to transmute the energy and let you become more receptive and open. If you change it from anxiety to connect with companions to excitement to see them and excited to have them in your life, it’ll help develop that further instead of creating blocks. You can apply this to many different experiences.
There are a few moments when all of our chakras awaken, and that sensation is beautiful and not bad. It may feel overwhelming or you may feel very amazed, but if you’re being open to the energies you can notice the stirring and awakening from within. There are sacred energies and paths within us that can awaken us and feel overwhelming when they rise within us but it’s all good so embrace it, it’s beautiful.
Anxiety could occur also since we are instinctively taught to not trust or to not be open or not believe in these things (magic and spirits). Many of us are taught to deaden our chakras and not feel so once we begin to awaken the energies it can feel like a shock. It’s the beautiful moments of it rising within us, the elation in this path that will help open the doors. The stronger it gets for example seeing orbs/morphing the third eye is attuning self to energies and learning to see them. So simply make note of it, it’s all good. The spiritual world is not just 3D but is multidimensional. Learn to shift the energies whenever you feel anxiety or fear to a more positive vibration of excitement and with time you’ll feel more comfortable and will find more progress within your communication and manifestations.
The end!
