Ah, That's not that far. I don't have a driver's license due to a debt, so there's that. Let me think about it, I know some folks farther north. Maybe there's a chance we could meet up and discuss magic and whatnot.
I work open to close thurs-sat, on a mini break now.
Nah, I'm not sure I'd even want to meet folks even if they were more local.

It would be nice if I had some folks who were strictly local for like, group workings and such.

I don't drive either, mostly because I have decided I am too error prone to do something that safety-critical with any kind of frequency.

By "the other U of M" the other M, not the other U. On the other side of Wisconsin.

Ah, I see now. Madison, I know someone around there, someone from the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. When I was barely a self-initiated Zelator back in 2016 or 2017, I was screening people for becoming members of the Hermetic Society of the Golden Dawn. That was interesting., Then I fell to the dark side for a second time. Recently a third time even though I was trying to be MHP, I guess I realized how real it can get playing both sides.
Yeah, a local group working would be great. I still scout vacant buildings for potential lodges for the HSGD even though I fell out of contact with the Adept.
I even scout them for myself, for a site for a Pagan Working Temple, like a tanning salon, but soundproof, fire safety measures, where one can be summoning Choronzon in one room and pegasus being summoned in another, all getting along, only rules - never invoke what you cannot banish, and always banish afterwards so someone else doesn't have an unexpected event.

I have a neighbor across the street, who has his share of mental problems. I turned him onto Bucklands books, and keep him on the non-LHP. I recently taught him how to do a LBRP out in the back of the complex where nosy people couldn't see what we were doing.
A simple enough process that most people new to the occult do not know.

But he kept telling me about his panic attacks, so I figured if medication isn't working for him, a LBRP might. After all, every newcomer to the path is exposed to parasites and other spirits. Especially if you are practicing psychics or witchcraft/magic.
It occurred to me it could be psychic attack of parasites, so that was my first thought to teach him.
The night before, I had a dark entity enter my room, and woke me up, jumped up out of bed and did an instant LBRP/IOB starting in its direction and finishing the circle, then did another one after that to make sure. It left.

Okay ... back to the Watchtower shading and lettering, then work on angel stuff for a bit, then a ritual perhaps.

Venus starts at 3 am EST, as the earliest hour on Friday to call on Haniel. I will be doing that tomorrow anyway, but might as well try for it during a Venus hour on top of being Friday. My request -- to love my self again in proper measure, and to be lovable to other people, particularly good and attractive women appropriately aged.

Saturday and Saturn ... think I will appeal to Saturn to remove obstacles barring my way forward in life, and to nullify any death magic or curses sent my way.
Black paper ,, not sure I have that.
sa
Monday -- Silver paper, white will have to do.
Tuesday -- red paper -- need to purchase
Wednesday -- Orange paper -- need to purchase
Thursday -- blue paper -- need to purchase.
Friday -- green paper -- need to purchase.

Had unexpectd
Review Demons of Magic, 72 Angels of Magick, Shemhamphoresh lodge paper, Black Magic of the Shemhamphoresh, etc. for how to make initial let alone sufficient contact.

Due to "fuzzy" events in my past I am not proud of, and have worked my utmost to change, while still hounded by an anonymous group of people trying to punish me through social justice or something, I have no choice but to take my idea into my own hands and running with it.

Going to the Archangels, evoking all seven primary archangels, and asking for justice and karma to be thrown at me, so that this group of busybodies have nothing to add. Perhaps while I call for mine I call for theirs as well, immediate karma unload and judgement in their hands.

They know my heart, spirit and soul, and so do I; it is not what these busybodies think, almost a 180 to be frank. And Im always honest.

But do they and you know yours/theirs?

Yours and theirs*. Ran into electronics problems all day. Hackers for lack of better words, although there is a demons said to disrupt them as well.

Been feeling a zealot burn all morning.
So, if my posts are annoying anyone, my apologies.
Just thoughts onto screen.

I think the highest account of promises broken and things unfulfilled go to the man in the mirror.
The good thing to me is a desire and openness for learning and spiritual growth through action, breaking the inertia urge to be lazy or busy and do nothing.

My plans are not working. Trapped in this fifteen per hour bullshit in dead end jobs, I need at least thirty per hour to get out of my rut quickly, not for my convenience, but the convenience of others paid in full, each and everyone.

"Own no man anything but to love one another". And I think usury (loans and interest) are mentioned a few ties in the law as well. As is oppression of neighbors and strangers, as a group of folks were once strangers oppressed in Egypt. A story about that exists.

Calling for my own judgement .. Sodom and Gomorrah springs to mind.

Shading on the Enochian Watchtower Earth tablet is coming along slowly due to colored pencil or watercolor pencil on paper. I need to bite the bullet and get paint and other supplies.

I would also like to purchase a shitload of books off amazon to help authors and myself, but lo and behold, a mountain stands in my way!
I would like to get going on a side business, but lo and behold the same mountain stands in my way!

O wretched man that I am ...

On the Earth Pentacle idea, I really want to try this. Worst case scenario it doesn't work or work better than a piece of painted wood, resulting in waste of precious resources. But at least the attempt of the idea was made. Now, if it does work, it would be interesting to scope out the range of power it can provide. Limits of its power, as Im sure some exist.
Perhaps I am not clear, but I want it to function with the natural elements of earth contained inside, conductive metals mingling with them all, and a charged rod through the horizontal center charges it electrically, resulting in some sort of effect as a Fire wand would.
On top if this, it serves as a platter and ricochets or redirects as a shield (or perhaps a laser).
Getting it kiln fired is a hill to get over. But the scope of its power and ability would be interesting to discover.

As for the Air dagger, just a double edged blade, razor sharp, with a wooden handle, perhaps grip sanded on each side of the handle for easy pickup and stability in the hand. Not only functioning as an air dagger, but a general purpose ritual dagger as well (ie to blood let or slice a branch off a tree for a wand or whatnot). Perhaps that last one is a bit of a reach.
Bonus if it is made of gold and steel alloy. Perhaps Im overthinking it and its a foolish time waster of an idea.

Geomancy, herb and crystal growing kits. Need to get cracking on learning this stuff, at least the most common herbs and grow them using a reflective tent and lamp, get a crystal growing kit and grow them under a blacklight and magnifier case, collect stones for the geomancy kit and paint them.

Air Enochian Watchtower tablet. When Earth is finished, begin work on this. Same routine and process as with the earth aside from pencil and paper.

Start learning astrology, and mastery of thought, silent mind meditation, concentrated meditation on a tarot card in full detail by scanning process. Memorize a simple point and line sigil, perhaps my Shem Angel of my birthday for example, and meditate on that sigil daily.

Find out everything about my natal chart, good and bad angels, demons associated with a given house, aspects, enochian and court card associations, etc.

I think this should firmly establish me on Earth and prepare myself for Air.

Daily ritual as a devotion act - setup a small altar, see if a milk carton an be received and used, a colored cloth appropriate to the planet or deity. Perhaps start with one to God. Set aside a specific time, no exceptions, no sleeping or oversleeping or distraction. Meditate on how to form a solid relationship with this spirit. Have daily ritual and conversation with the spirit. Come to this spirit for others who need its help in some way. Treat the altar and all items and the time spent as sacred and holy.

Friday, 4/15/2022 (16=7, forget associated keyword with 7). Ruling Planet for the Day: Venus. Color of Dy: Green.
Sleep/Dreams: Four hours sleep, no dream recall.
Moon/Transits: Luna Waxing Gibbous 9 degrees Libra.
Weather: Partly cloudy, 59 degrees. High 69, night Low 40.
Diet/Exercise: Need to lose my spare tummy and love handles and tone. Will have to be anaerobic exercise to do so. Target weight 170, waist 35.
Mental Notes: So much to do, so little time. Journal today reflects mental thought train. Need to double my income to become debt free.
Physical Notes: Congested cough persists. Sneezing as well. Could be allergies and vaping use. Cut out pot, at least from current dealer and this lat one was bunk weed and felt like a lie that I still owed for a front when I know I didn't. So, no more fronts. Back to a dispensary where I can get exactly what I want and need for relatively low price at special times. Drawback, more expensive. Pro on that con: I will have to smoke less as I can't afford it much now. Vaping: Get a bottle of vape fluid as Juul refills are eating you up as well. Ideally quit both, but right now I know it aids me in keeping stable in terms of no psychotic episodes and calms me. Also aids in onto epilepsy and anti depressant.

27th – IERATHEL. His attribute is “God Who Punishes The Wicked”. He corresponds to the holy divine names of “Teos” in the language of the Copts. His ray commences from the 131st degree up to the 135th degree inclusive, corresponding to the fourteenth decade and to the angel called Hepe, under the influence of Jupiter. He rules over the following days: 15th April, 26th June, 6th September, 17th November, 28th January. The invocation is done from 8:40am till 9:00am. The Divine Names are pronounced and the 1st verse of Psalm 139:
“Deliver me O Lord, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man“ (Eripe me Domine ab homine malo, a viro iniquo eripe me).
He serves to confound the wicked and slanderers, and to be delivered from our enemies. This angel protects those who provoke us and unjustly attack us. He rules over the propagation of light, civilization and liberty. The person born under this influence loves peace, justice, sciences and the arts, and he distinguishes himself in literature.
The bad angel rules over ignorance, slavery and intolerance.

While sitting here in magical melancholy and listening to Earth Wind and Fire, had a thought while consuming a chocolate pie from 7-11 and sipping on some Columbian freshly brewed...
"Coffee and pastries are meant for each other."

Okay, done with shading the best I can with a dysfunctional pencil sharpener and color pencil. Time to get the gist of the color scales per quadrant and get to lettering.
Then ... work further on conjurations and invocations, seeking relationships (non-transactional).
Then energy work. Feel air around hands, not within hands necessarily, and simultaneously shoulders and solar plexus; building and pushing out energy with hands as if Spiderman or something. Also found today what the sign of the enterer or sign of Horus is, it is not fingertips out, but Pams out as if simultaneously saying halt and pushing out energy.
Work on Sign of Enterer with full exchange (push pull push pull) of energy with each bow.
Fully understand candle work and keameas/sigils.
Fully understand procedure of calling angels down to manifestation.
Get to work on goals and needs. Continue pushing forward as if an atheist, but allow help and accept help.

On Ritual:

"Building the Universe Within
To bring spiritual power to the realm of the four elements, your daily ritual work in the elemental grades takes on a special format:
1. It begins by banishing via the pentagram and hexagram, as before,
2. then by invoking the element of the grade you are in,
3. and then projecting the Divine Light upon that element via the Middle Pillar;
4. finally, it ends by banishing again.
This basic Golden Dawn formula is the key to all successful magic. It is nothing new. Its signature pattern appears in all of the practical magic exercises taught in your textbook, Regardie's The Golden Dawn.6 The process of bringing Light from the rising sun and projecting it on an invoked force is the namesake of the Golden Dawn.
This ritual formula also keeps your work well insulated. Banishing rituals are placed at the beginning and end ofyour daily work. Combined with the practices of silence and seclusion that you learned in Neophyte, it makes for a sort of hermeti- cally sealed vessel in which the alchemical transformation occurs. You are opening a sacred space, similar to the space the All-mind opened within Itself, in which you can create your own microcosmic reflection of the universe."

I had further notes but lost them and have no energy left to battle system problems and personal network timing for under five minutes.

Some rituals we cannot and should not give up.

Neophyte:
LRP: Morning and Evening without fail.
MPE: Every Morning and Night without fail.
TCR: Major key pull every morning without fail.
BA/RR: Every morning and night without fail.
Kaballah: Study and draw several trees of life.
Draw Table of Shewbread and the 12 lamp rays.
Construction and consecration of Altar, Bell, Robe, Lamp, Book

Independent Work:
Archangel Invocation: During their hour without fail.
Shem Angel Invocation: During their time, without fail.
Novena: Nightly, without fail.
HGA/Abramelin - Study, start working what can be worked.

Zelator:
Invoking/Banishing Four Powers of Earth: Following LRP.
LRH: Do nightly without fail.
Body in Assiah: Do nightly without fail.
Geomancy, Herbs Growing, Crystal Growing: Get started.
Tool construction and consecration.
Enochian Watchtower Tablet completed and framed and hung for use.
Astrology: Start studying.

Current layout of daily rituals that have to be done without fail, in addition to other tasks.
BA or Body Awareness, is breath control and working breath with chakras.
RR is relaxation ritual, a visualization exercise and ritual to eliminate tension and pain.
LRP is the Lesser Ritual of the Pentagram, invoking or banishing, to balance the Sphere of Sensation.
LRH is the Lesser Ritual of the Hexagram, designed to invoke or banish planetary influences.
MPE or Middle Pillar exercise and Body in Assiah are energy work, drawing light energy down through the crown to foot.
Invoking/Banishing FPE uses a concentrated pentagram and a kerubic sign to aid elementals to adore the creator.
TCR is Tarot Contemplation Ritual, a Major key is drawn from a shuffled and piled deck, to illustrate the influence and lesson of the day, often involving deeper lessons and should be "scanned" into eyes shut memory and meditated on.

So, given the path has started, and stopping would be damaging in ways, its best to dust myself off, keep it tight nd keep on truckin.
