Since writing the affirmations and starting manifestation again, I've actually been in a much better headspace. It's crazy how things align, and you end up where you need to be, especially through pain
#txt#have been reading the affirmations every day twice a day sometimes#doing my intentions and manifesting what i wsnt#which is mainly independence#also a good relationship with my ex from here#mainly stuff for me tho#and the full moon on Wednesday which is in scorpio which is his sun sign#will be a big release and maybe i can let go a bit or a lot lol#i need to move on and focus on myself and what i want in life and doing it all on my own#with support obviously but ive never been fully independent and im so ready for the blessings and the open doors#i dont know if ill truly ever be over him but i have to try for my own sanity at this point#i dont want to manifest anything selfish like him coming back to me because it probably wont happen anyway lmao#i hope i dont sound crazy lmao but coming back into my spiritual journey is definitely what i need#connecting with myself and my purpose feels like the only thing i can do rn#have a driving lesson tomorrow but in all honesty i could just go do the test and pass cause ive been driving forever and im good at it#just need to practice certain things but im nearly there! so close i can feel it and see it#anyway i hope i can keep this energy up and continue to head in a positive direction because it feels really good#if i need to cry about him and the loss then i will but im not going to dwell on it too much#i just need to take it as a lesson and let it go :)#cause at the end of the day i really did lead myself here whether it was his choice to end it or not#blah

Hear me out now… ghost has a voodoo doll of you and he uses it to tease you in meetings and when you’re home and he’s at base😻
BEING SIMONS OBEDIENT LIL’ DOLL
Tumblr media
Ongggg I love you and I love this ask so muchhhhhh ongggggg and I know I say this in every ask but sorry for replying late 😭
my finals start on Wednesday and these days I’m just clearing out my drafts for my recent posts in so sorry 😭😭
That’s like a plot from the webtoon I love (act like you love me, it’s soooooooo good)
goin to a shady ‘spiritual’ market with you was the last in his wish list buy when you were sooo insistent on buying crystals and quartz he just couldn’t say no :((
It was a chance meeting really you were just going home when you saw,
A shop in the corner of the market adorned with beautiful gems and red coloured leaves, it had no banner but the mysterious aura of the shop lured you in
Going inside you guys found an old lady selling dolls and you just couldn’t stop to look at one of them.
A doll that looked exactly like you
The skin colour, the hair, shape of your eyes.
it was exactly you.
Well a mini you,
While paying the lady told simon to keep the doll safe
He nodded along not thinking too much of it
That day When you and Simon were sleeping he accidentally slept on the doll which led to you feeling squished a suffocated
Waking Simon up with the sound of you choking
He quickly got up to see what’s wrong and the minute he got up from the doll you were fine
And You noticed that
You felt crazy ar first for believing that.
But proving it to Simon was hard,
he didn’t believe it until you made Him tug the dolls arm through which he noticed the pain caused on the exact spot
god he felt crazy too but he believed you
And the thing is your horny mind came up with a crazier idea-
An idea that stated that he has the consent to control you through the doll for when he’s gone for deployments and when he needs to go to the base
And what’s more insane is that he agreed.
So this crazy arrangement really ended up being a success
Whenever si went out he would take the doll with him, he would purposely use the doll to his advantage to tease you just slightly
The slight brush on your tits during your lecture?
That’s Simon
The sudden touches on your sensitive spots?
That’s Simon too
God he loved teasing you.
Especiallyyyy when you’re at home,
Telling you to wait and be a good girl till he comes back.
On one particular day,
He had been at the base all day to train the new recruits and you were at home and bored :(
Out of nowhere you felt a sudden caress and pinch on your nipples with your clit being rubbed in circles simultaneously.
It felt sooo good,
until it stopped.
You felt so frustrated.
You had to cum :((
So how could you not touch yourself :(
But before you could start you felt a restrain on your hands.
You couldn’t reach your hands further than your waist now
Just then you a got a message from Simon
An image of you, well mini you it’s hands tied around it’s waist
And a small text saying, “told you to wait princess, be a good girl f’ me”
That sly bastard
Really, visiting that store was a blessing curse in disguise.
But maybe giving Simon indirect control to your body wasn’t half as bad especially for those days when he felt generous :)

Lord Rama Rama Mantra – Siddha Mantras for Daily Worship
Monday Mantra – “Shri Ram Jaya Ram Siva Ram”
Monday is the day of the moon, the celestial force that governs the mind and the intellect. In this mantra, we also honor Lord Siva who protected the moon from decay thus symbolizing protection of the mind and the intellect. Meditating on this mantra ensures proper functioning of one’s mind and intellect. It transforms the human intellect into a divine intellect that can perceive God.
Tuesday Mantra – “Shri Rama Jaya Rama Jaya Jaya Rama”
This is the mantra of Hanuman, the great devotee of Lord Rama. It is known as the Rama Raksha Maha Mantra. Raksha means protection and maha means great. So this is the great mantra that ensures Shri Rama’s protection for the devotee. The protective power of this mantra is such that if a woman meditates on it regularly, she will be cured of any stomach and uterine problems that she may be suffering from. Therefore, this is mantra is specially beneficial for women.
Wednesday Mantra – “Hari Rama Hari Rama, Rama Rama Hari Hari”
Wednesday is a special day for Rama and, thus, it is an ideal day for Rama worship. This mantra bestows a special blessing on men. If a man meditates on this mantra 1008 times on Wednesdays, his wife will not covet other men. Lord Rama, the perfect husband, grants this blessing for men.
Thursday Mantra – “Jaya Rama Siva Rama Guru Rama Jaya Rama”
Thursday is a special day for the Sathguru, the divine teacher on the spiritual path. On this day, the aspirant should think of Lord Rama as the Sathguru and the Sathguru as Lord Rama and meditate on this mantra with love and devotion. The grace of God and Sathguru will flow in torrents towards those who chant this and spiritual wisdom will blossom in them.
Friday Mantra – “Sita Rama Hanumantha Rama Sita Hanumantha”
If one ever feels that his life has deficiencies of any kind, he should meditate on this mantra on Fridays. The deficiencies will disappear and his life will become picture perfect. Moreover, just like Mother Sita stepped into the fire and came out unscathed, this mantra can save one from fire mishaps. Furthermore, Maha Guru Sri Agasthiar gives a special blessing for women. If a woman meditates on this mantra 1008 times on Fridays, her husband will not covet other women.
Saturday Mantra – “Shri Rama Jaya Rama Sundara Rama’
Saturday is another special day for Rama. On this day, we call upon Rama and the most significant among devotees, Hanuman. One of Hanumaan’s names is Sundara. In fact, this is His mother’s favorite name for Him. Calling upon Hanuman as Sundara will bestow immeasurable blessings on the aspirant. Hanuman, the great master of Rama bhakti (love for Rama), will teach us how to be devotees of Rama and personally guide us on the path to Rama. If one meditates on this mantra on Saturdays, there will be no deficiencies in his life. Chanting this mantra can get rid of Shani doshas – afflictions due to Saturn (Shaniswara) – So to please Lord Saturn, chant this mantra regularly with humility, sincerity and devotion towards Saniswara, Hanuman and Lord Rama.
Sunday Mantra – ”Shri Rama Jaya Rama Raghu Rama”
Sunday is the day of the Sun. Lord Rama was the greatest king of the Solar dynasty. Raghu was an ancestor of Rama and one of the great kings of that dynasty. This is why the Solar dynasty is also known as the dynasty of Raghu. So on Sundays, we call upon Rama as a descendant of Raghu and as the merciful Lord who incarnated in the Solar dynasty.

the thiarus empire |
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Built upon the natural resource abundance, fertile soils, and craftsmanship of its past, this nation is now among the safest countries in its corner of the world. Industrial advancements, rare resources, and violent battles of its past have allowed it to become one of the most fortunate counties in its corner of the world.
Their sustainability, hygiene, education, public health and life expectancy are among its current greatest strengths compared to other countries. Unfortunately, they lack in science and exports.
The Thiarus Empire is a feudal nation, with a council of nobles governed and oversee by the Royal Family. There are some opposing groups against the Royal family and their supporters, wanting more strength and freedom given to the nobles, and a growing group that wishes for more rights and freedoms for civilians all across the empire.
However, the current greatest threat to the nation are groups of bandits, smuggling, and overproduction of resources, but the current leadership is implementing a solution to solve this issue.
The people of the Empire, overall? are happy. They live pleasing lives, their sustainability helps relief most of their issues, and they enjoy many common uses of magic that make daily living easier.
Religion holds quite some importance in their lives and, if anything, has made them more sensitive. The people of Thiarus are quite spiritual as well and they have strict rules and beautiful customs.
Notable Traditions & Customs
- The Month's First Prayer: On the first Soliday of each month, families gather at dawn to offer prayers and small gifts to Thiohr and other deities they worship.
- Coming of Age Ceremony: Prior to their CoA Gala, debutantes and those of age receive a magical crystal that resonates with their innate magical abilities. The ceremony involves a night-long vigil at a sacred temple of their choice .
- Festival of Lights: During the Month of Hope (Zaficus), citizens release thousands of enchanted lanterns into the night sky, each carrying written wishes for the coming year.
- Blessing of the Waters: During spring, mages and priests perform rituals to bless the Empire's waterways, believed to ensure prosperity and good health for the year ahead.
Marriage Customs
Couples exchange enchanted rings that glow in the presence of their beloved. The ceremony must include the planting of a magical tree that will grow with their love.
- celebrations, couples perform a traditional magical dance where their combined magical auras create intricate patterns in the air, symbolizing their future unity.
- Vow Crystals: Each partner speaks their vows into enchanted crystals that preserve their words eternally. These crystals are then set into their household's foundation stones.
- Family Crest Merging: Noble houses perform an ancient ritual where their family crests magically combine to create a new, unique emblem for the married couple's branch of the family.
- Blessing Circle: During the ceremony, guests form a circle around the couple and channel their magic to create a dome of protective energy, believed to shield the new union from harm.
- Unity Potion: The couple drinks from a shared chalice containing a specially brewed potion that allows them to sense each other's emotions for the duration of their wedding day.
- Ancestral Witness: Through complex magic, the spirits of passed family members are temporarily summoned to witness and bless the union, appearing as ethereal lights around the ceremony space.
These customs vary by region and social status within the Empire, with noble houses often incorporating more elaborate magical elements into their ceremonies.

To Know, Water…
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Centuries had passed since King Njord and Seer Dynamene returned to their coastal kingdom. Once, they reigned as the first fathoms to be blessed personally by the Tidelord. Appointed as secular rulers to the Eastern Shore of the Thousand Current Sea, they guided their kingdom through the death of the second age and the birth of the third. After stability settled, Njord and Dynamene followed their Fathom instincts. They left in charge King Sefter and Seer Keema, with an oath that held the expectation that Sefter and Keema's descendants would abdicate their throne upon the fathoms' return.
Unfortunately, upon their return, Queen Oystella and Seer Flux made no effort to uphold their promise.
The kingdom is divided. Many argue that since Njord and Dynamene are the founders, they deserve to take charge again. Others remain loyal to Oystella and Flux, believing the elder monarchs too out of touch to successfully lead the kingdom.
Njord was once a levelheaded and patient king, able to talk his way out of most fights. Years sailing distant shores have caused him to grow aloof and unattached, affecting the eons-long marriage between him and Dynamene.
Dynamene never wanted to leave Vaden. She wanted to stay close to the Tidelord and work with him to discern the future. She loved Njord more than her desire to stay, so agreed to leave, expecting only to be gone for a few years at most. The distance from The Tidelord made her lose that prophesying connection, so she devised a new way. By harnessing the power of the moons control of the tide's, she gained her own prophesying powers.
———
My offering for world building Wednesday, my current lore project War of the Waves!
The title of king/queen and seer do not necessarily signify dominance over the other, more so what their job position entails. The King/Queen is often seen as the physical protector, whereas Seers are seen as spiritual protectors. The firstborn of a royal couple will be assigned a role based on where their skills lie.
Njord and Dynamene, having been blessed by Tidelord, are essentially immortal but can physically be killed.
Feel free to send asks abt them :3

Days of the week Cheat-sheet
Tumblr media
Picture from pixabay.com
Every day of the week has its own magical properties. Personally, I like to incorporate those properties into my spell work. Now, I don't always do this. Sometimes when the time feels right, it is right. But more often than not, I will take a glance at the day's correspondences. Since I am probably not the only one doing this, I decided to make a cheat sheet for who ever needs it!
Monday: Psychic ability, peace, dreams, intuition, healing, purity Tuesday: Succes, strength, courage, protection, passion Wednesday: Wisdom, travel, divination, creativity, communication Thursday: Money, prosperity, wealth, joy, abundance, succes Friday: Love, relationships, beauty, fertility, growth, romance Saturday: Cleansing, banish negativity, protection, wisdom Sunday: Succes, strength, spirituality, prosperity, protection, healing
In the future I will make separate posts for each day, going more in depth about the day and its correspondences. But this is a quick cheat-sheet to look at whenever you need it! Blessed Be!

The Life of The Prophet Muhammad(pbuh):  Farewell Hajj and the Death of the Prophet (pbuh)
Farewell Hajj
(10th Year of the Migration, the month of Dhul-Hijjah  / AD 632, March)
It was the 10th year of the Migration, the month of Dhul-Qada.
The Messenger of God made preparations for hajj. He also ordered the Muslims in Madinah to make preparations for hajj. In addition, he sent Madinah.
Upon this news, thousands of Muslims who wanted go to hajj started to flood into Madinah. Soon, Madinah was full of the light of Islam and luminous faces. Tents were set up around Madinah.
Muslims were experiencing a unique atmosphere of a festival and the Messenger of God was praising and thanking God Almighty in the peace and happiness of seeing the magnificent result of the great cause that he conveyed to people. 
Leaving Madinah
There were five days left for the end of the month of Dhul-Qada. It was Saturday.
The Messenger of God appointed Abu Duja­na as-Saidi as his deputy in  Madinah. He had a bath in his house. He wore some nice perfume and put on new clothes. He left his house toward noon and went to the mosque. He led the noon prayer.
The Prophet set off from Madinah with more than one hundred thousand Muslims who surrounded him like luminous circles and reached Dhul-Hulayfa. He spent the night there with his great congregation. 
The next day, he performed the noon prayer and entered ihram there. Then, he headed toward Makkah with his Companions, each of whom is a star of the humanity.
The Messenger of God was on his camel, Qasva. More than one hundred thousand Companions were like planets that did not lose their orbits around the spiritual sun. They uttered talbiyah: “Labbayk! “Labbayk! Allahumma labbayk! Lab­bay­ka la sharika laka Llabbayk! Innal hamda wan’ni­ma­ta la­ka wa’l-mulka la sharika laka.” (Here I am, O God, here I am. Here I am, You have no partner, here I am. Verily all praise and blessings are Yours, and all sovereignty, You have no partner.)
It was as if the earth was like a single mouth and repeating the same “talbiyah” with hundreds of thousands of tongues. The earth and the sky were virtually sharing the joy and the excitement of the Messenger of God and his Companions. 
Arriving in Makkah
It was Monday, the fourth of the month of Dhul-Hijjah, early in the morning.
The Messenger of God entered Makkah from the upper part of the city called Thaniyyatu’u-Kada with more than one hundred thousand Muslims. When he saw the magnificent Kaaba, the Prophet prayed as follows: “O my Lord! Increase the magnificence, honor and grandeur of this magnificent Kaaba.
Then, the Prophet reached Baytullah. He made istilam toHajaru’l-Aswad and started to circumambulate the Kaaba from that corner. During the first three laps of the circumambulation, he took short steps and jerked his shoulders, walking fast and pompously; he walked slowly during the remaining four laps of the circumambulation.   
After completing the circumambulation by walking around the Kaaba seven times, he went to the Station of Ib­rahim. He performed a prayer of two rak’ahs there. Then, he made istilam to Hajaru’l-Aswad again. Meanwhile, he said to Hazrat Umar, “O Umar! You are strong. Do not shoulder others in order to touch Hajaru’l-Aswad. Do not disturb people especially weak ones. If there are not many people around, touch it. If it is very crowded, greet and kiss it from a distance with your hands; utter, ‘La ilaha illalah and Allahu akbar’.”
The Prophet Performs Sa’y
The Messenger of God went up to Safa Hill after that. He praised and thanked God Almighty there. Then, he came down and performed sa’y between Safa and Marwa seven times.
Going to Mina
After staying in Makkah on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, the Messenger of God went to Mina on Thursday. He performed the noon, afternoon, evening and night prayers there in congregation. He spent the night there. On Friday, the ninth of Dhul-Hijjah, he set off from Minah after performing the morning prayer and headed toward Arafat. 
The earth and the sky were resounding with the talbiyahs uttered by the Companions.

All Saints
Tumblr media
We are surrounded by reminders of the saints. Hospitals and nursing homes. Schools and colleges. Streets and towns. All named after well-known, beloved saints.
But they’re not what All Saints Day is about.
All Saints Day is a reminder. A reminder that the famous saints, the saints that stuff gets named for, aren’t the only saints. That we are surrounded by many, many more saints.
Men and women who are living lives of holiness. Unseen and unsung.
Not because they’re not important. Not because what they’re doing isn’t making a difference in people’s lives. Not because their daily struggle to live the Faith doesn’t matter.
But because to them, none of this is a big deal. To them, today is just another Wednesday.
Another day with all of the burdens and cares of their lives. Another day that they’re getting through with God’s help.
Truth be told, the saints around us are unseen and unsung because we’re not paying attention.
We’re either so wrapped up in ourselves that we miss what they’re doing. Or we’re stuck with the unspoken assumption that if it’s really something from God, then it’s going to be so big, so dramatic, that even we can’t ignore it. Or it doesn’t count.
The reality of the saints around us is that this is their normal. Living in God’s grace. Seeing the need and meeting it. Not solving the world’s problems. Just helping with today’s.
With all of the same needs, problems, and distractions that you and I face. Everyday.
These are the saints that, in a way, matter even more than the well-known, beloved saints. Because these are the saints that you and I are called to be.
What separates us from them, the saints we are called to be, is one simple thing. They don’t rely on themselves. They rely on God.
Because they’re grounded in the wisdom of today’s Gospel, the Beatitudes. All of the “Blessed are the...” sayings (“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven,” etc.).
It’s a Gospel we’ve heard so many times that we don’t think about what it really is.
Simply put, it is the roadmap to becoming a saint.
And it begins with the reality of our spiritual poverty. Recognizing that you and I can’t handle things on our own. That we can’t rely on ourselves.
Then turning to God. And relying on God.
The God who is waiting to give us everything. Not everything we want – everything we need. If we will but only ask.
This is how we become the saints we are called to be.

Transiting Venus enters Pisces
Monday, March 11 - Friday, April 5, 2024
Venus is exalted in Pisces - that is, although she doesn’t rule the sign (Jupiter and Neptune do), being placed here tends to bring out her best anyway.
On the down side, we can have issues and problems with boundaries, or to be more precise a lack of boundaries. Not to mention self-pity, substance abuse, and a refusal to do more than drift.
Art - the Impressionists, of course. We like it when the artist’s imagination is on display, and we like it even more when we have to use our own.
Beauty - always in the eye of the beholder, but especially now. We don’t have to work very hard to find it.
Love - “Love is not love / Which alters when it alteration finds / Or bends with the remover to remove. / Oh no! It is an ever-fixed mark / That looks on tempests and is never shaken;” and so forth.
Money - can piss it all away, and can have remarkable intuitive insights about investments. Charitable donations.
The story told by the aspects: we’re off to a bumpy start, have a few decent learning opportunities, and end ambiguously. Allow about a day on either side of these dates.
Monday, March 18 - Venus/Pisces square Pallas Athene/Sagittarius, 8°08’. Problems with gender identity. Our financial judgement isn’t very realistic, and we’re very distractable. Maybe some ham-handed attempts at flirtation.
Tuesday, March 19 - Venus/Pisces opposite Juno Rx/Virgo, 9°51’. Other people seem judgemental, critical, and negative. Some of us may get “played” by people who know how to manipulate us.
Thursday, March 21 - Venus/Pisces conjunct Saturn/Pisces, 12°26’. Kind of a turning point - we let past unpleasantness weigh us down, or we surrender and rise above it. Needing a little “alone” time. Real love is responsible, patient, and kind.
Saturday, March 23 - Venus/Pisces sextile Ceres/Capricorn, 14°08’. Take Mom out to a nice lunch! Also really good for green thumbs, prettying up your home, and spoiling your pets.
Sunday, March 24 - Venus/Pisces sextile Jupiter/Taurus, 15°48’. Very lucky (in a non-flashy way); we’re counting our blessings for sure. Spread those good vibes around.
Thursday, March 28 - Venus/Pisces sextile Uranus/Taurus, 20°37’. This gives us an opportunity (sextile) to shake things up a bit. If we’re in a rut, we can easily break out of it. If we’ve been wanting to try something new, we can find a way to do it.
Wednesday, April 3 - Venus/Pisces conjunct Neptune/Pisces, 28°00’. Can be a peak Pisces experience, overwhelming us with its spiritual beauty - or complete Piscean dissolution and escapism.

The Planets as Angels and Demons
In my tradition I work with planetary virtues by assigning them to days and hours in which certain works must be performed. As someone who also works in a Catholic context, I've assigned Angels and demons to embody the benefic and malefic aspects of these Planets. To me, an angel is not ruled by a planet, but is the planet itself. This is where anism comes into my practice. I acknowledge western occult classifications of angels and their planets, but I rework them to fit my own revelations instead of that according to old irrelevant wiccan men. That said, the 7 angels vs 7 demons lists across the world are heavily influenced by kabbalah. However my own list pulls from Greek Orthodox traditions and Philippino Catholic traditions based in Manila. I also allow the 3 books of occult philosophy to influence my worldview of these spirits and purposes. The 3 books of occult philosophy state that there is a benefic and malefic side to each planet. To copy this within my practice I assign one angel and one demon to a planet. I come to them not in ceremonial methods, but as folk saints.
The angels and their remedies are as followed:
Uriel- (sun/sunday) "regent of the sun" in folklore. He is known for being renowned, amiable, and acceptable; he adds potency in all good works, equaling a man to kings and princes, elevation to high fortunes, and success in all endeavors- I understand Michael as being the Sun in most traditions but I view micahel as being more war-minded and aligned with Mars. Uriel is historically referred to as regent of the sun and that should not be ignored.
Gabriel- (moon/monday) rendering the bearer grateful, amiable, pleasant, cheerful, and honored; removing malice and ill will, security during travel, increase of riches, bodily health, and the driving away of enemies and other evil things. - dreams, blessed pregnancy, prophecy of futures pertaining to spiritual paths and one's fate. Protector of families.
Michael-(mars/tuesday) potency in war, judgments, and petitions; victory against enemies, justice toward enemies for the sake of justice, not revenge. , and stopping of blood. Michael isncommonlynassociated with the color red and as mars is the" red planet" I saw it as fitting. Mars is described as our "sister planet" due to its similarities with earth. Given michael being so close and dear to humanity I saw this closeness and resemblance as representative of his love for us.
Raphael- (mercury/wednesday) rendering the bearer grateful and fortunate to do what they please, bringing gain, preventing poverty, and helping memory, understanding, and divination. He also encourages occult understanding through travel and reading signs given in nature. The protector of travelers and claims vengeance towards thieves.
Sealtiel- (jupiter/thursday) is often seen as the Patron Saint of prayer and worship for members of the Eastern Orthodox Church and some Catholic traditions. In some Orthodox traditions, he is said to help people interpret dreams, break addictions, protect children, preside over exorcisms, and rule over music in heaven. Orthodox Christians will seek his help if their prayer is suffering from distractions, inattentiveness, or coldness. In Catholic tradition, he is depicted with a thurible. He helps fight addiction, helps one seeking gains and riches, favor and love, peace, concord, appeasement of enemies, confirmation of honors, dignities, and counsels, and dissolving of enchantments. "The undoer of witchcraft" which is a title given to St Michael Archangel in traditions that don't recognize this angel.
Jehudiel- (venus/friday) ending concord, ending strife, procuring a woman's love traditionally but all genders apply. aiding in conception, working against barrenness, and causing spiritual abilities in a generation (or gifting a child with the power of prayer). also known for the dissolving of enchantments or lustful charms of a woman causing peace between men and women, making all kind of animals fruitful, protecting pets, curing melancholy, causing joyfulness, and bringing good fortune.
Barachiel-(saturn/saturday) the ability to bring forth, to make one safe, to make one's prayer powerful, and to cause a success of petitions with princes and powers. Marsilio Ficino and others also associated Saturn with intellectuals, whose minds are more lofty and divine than those of common folk. This is because Saturn is the highest planet in occult cosmology and therefore closest to God. this angel brings creativity, good study habits, focus, peace of mind and strengthens decision making skills to ensure good choices are made. -------
The Demons to be shared below are the traditional names of demons taken from Agrippa's 3 books of occult philosophy. It was common in older orthodox beliefs to associate the demons of the 7 deadly sins with the Planets, but I find the demons of the 7 deadly sins to be less influential and deadly than planetary powers would rival. Sin is on earth and changes as nature does. It's not written in the stars and predestined. Therefore, the 7 most well-known known demons on earth would not be fit to personify a planet. Expect a post on the 7 shortly.
After requesting the aide of these planetary demons, always cleanse the soul by prayer to the corresponding angel. Cursing another is similar to rolling in the mud yourself. Wash your hands as Caesar did. Without furthermore, here are the planetary demons that oppose these angels for matters of harming others:
Sorath(sun/sunday)- causing a man to be a tyrant, proud, ambitious, unsatisfiable, and to have an ill ending. Causes requested illness and can only be remedied by the corresponding angel.
Hasmodai- (moon/monday) rendering a location unfortunate and causing people to flee from it, hindering physicians, orators and all men whatsoever in their office. Blurs the psychic senses, hides works, ruins divination, curses divination tools to never work again.
Barzabel- (mars/Tuesday) hindering of buildings/homes, casting down the powerful from dignitaries, honors, and riches; causing discord, strife and hatred among men and beasts, chasing away bees, pigeons. and fish; hindering mills, rendering misfortune toward hunters and fighters, causing barrenness in men, women, and animals; striking terror into enemies, and compelling enemies to submit. Blighting of crops and all works money flows from.
Taphthartharath - (mercury/wednesday) rendering the bearer ungrateful and unfortunate in activities, encouraging poverty, driving away gains, and inhibiting memory, understanding, and divination. Steals spiritual gifts from others and gives them to the witch, can steal luck and good fortune of others. Hides the works of thieves, and protects stolen property from recovery.
Hismael- (jupiter/thursday) attract the baleful influences of Jupiter, of which Agrippa is curiously silent. However I am here with my own thoughts and experiences. This demon quite literally brings an end to the mind. It decays one's thoughts and happiness. It causes lunacy and mania. The hottest of the demons here.
Kedemel- (venus/friday) encouraging strife, driving away a woman's love, blocking conception, encouraging barrenness, blocking generational gifts and the blessing of ancestors, bringing bad luck, destroying joy, and encouraging melancholy. Ruins families, causes miscarriage, and attracts another's lover to you.
Zazel- (saturn/saturday) according to Agrippa includes the hindering of buildings and plantings i.e. growth, casting a man from honors and dignities, causing discord and quarrels, and dispersing armies. Turns one's men against him and creates jealousy. Ends the life of men.
Call on these spirits at your own risk. Always follow it with proper spiritual hygiene.
