Thanks for your work here rob. I’m mostly into anthony robbins that IS about ‘Constant and Never Ending Improvement’ (CANI for short). I found myself stuck, waiting, delayed and not sure why but one thing lead to another that had me looking up kabbala…. but was getting impatient with all the stuff UNTIL I came across YOUR ‘walk through’ of the tree… and it was suddenly CLEAR that its really a way of working with versions… in this case yourself (I used to be in software develoment)… which too is about Constant and Never Ending Improvement (eg: Windows). In personal development (Toni Robbins) critical aspects of ‘versioning’ (transformationing) include (i) Decisions (ii) Identity (iii) Values (iv) Vision+Lifes Purpose… etc etc well your example made it sooo easy for me to WALK THROUGH my situation NOW (Hanged Man) and see how useful (relevant and necessary) this is for everyday application. In walking through it was clear how decision at hod and netzack could easily lead to a less than useful solution. Sooo I’ve been here pretty much daily for the past 5 days or so. Just wanted to say Thanks

Thank you. It’s always nice to hear that someone found some value in something I’ve put out there. I’ve noticed lately that quite a few of my blog readers seem to be coming in from various self improvement systems like Robbins’. To be honest I wasn’t really aware of this aspect of the community prior to when it started driving traffic to my blog. I have however noticed that a few of the fundamental concepts surrounding practicing magick seems to be deeply ingrained into the various self improvement programs out there. Meanwhile the improvement of self is essential to practicing magick and surviving it.
As for your draw towards the Kabbalah, whenever you have a strong instinctual draw towards something like that it usually means that there’s something important to your personal path to be learned there, and usually when you look back on it much later on you end up seeing it as a major turning point in your spiritual development.
Once again thanks for the nice comment and it is appreciated. Good luck and I hope you find what you’re seeking.

I like your site, and I know its not easy to put up. Thanks for putting it up and maintaining it. It’s really very informative.

With coherent, thoughtful and expressive writing, your blog is certainly a rarity out of the magickal themed websites online.

I’ve tripped across your blog and just wanted to say that your attempts here to explore and communicate about magick are interesting. You’ve certainly brought up varied and useful topics and opened the doors of dialog. I think that if anything I learned some names for some types of experiences that fit better than anything I had noted up till this point and was gently reminded that the path is always there.
Good luck on your path.

Yeah, I was reading your blog about the chaos energy, how did you do that? I have trouble getting raw energy from myself! And how did you rip that hole in Time/Space? It sounds interesting, even if I can;t do it I’d try and practice everything I can (Ohh, there’s not much good about Baal anywhere, I looked and I can only find the “Demon” of christianity)

If you’re not constantly feeding off something to sustain yourself, you’re producing some energy whether you know it or not, and there’s going to be some left over excess coming off you unless you can control it well enough to seal it all inside (this would be your aura and possibly a shield too). The energy you shed is still a part of you, even though it’s technically left your body, and you still have some ability to control it as if it were inside of you. The further out it goes the less control you have until finally you have no control at all.
Your energy production increases with practice. Simple energy manipulation tricks and psionics tend to increase your ability to produce energy over time. You can tie yourself up spiritually by not properly dealing with certain issues or emotions or having a lack of focus and direction in your life, and this can be fixed by spending a long time healing and fixing yourself and dealing with your problems. Alternatively certain spiritual events can mostly fix this problem instantaneously. If the damage is severe enough this may be the only option available. We also have reserves of energy which are very difficult to access and typically only become available in trance or when we desperately need them. Also you might want to look into things like chakras and yoga exercises.
You can also draw energy through the Earth. You just have to key into it and then pull energy up through your feet and have it gush out of your head. If you’re good enough at it you should be able to fish out specific types of energy if you know what you’re looking for.
As for ripping holes, it’s a psionic trick. They need to go somewhere though. In this instance it was a hole that led somewhere into the past in some convoluted plan I came up with that made very little sense except at the time. Time travel holes are difficult. Anyways just pick a spot and start tearing at it. It might help to physically cut it, especially with a blade you’ve enchanted, possibly with your own energy, but it can be done just by thinking you want it done if you need to.

Hi Rob! Thanks for the great website. Could you tell me the proper candle layout for the unbinding ritual to Ares, please? I’m in desperate need of this. Thanks so much! Ann

I’m curious, Rob: What was your intention when you started this blog? And now? What do you hope to spark by disseminating this very intriguing, insightful, provocative, well-thought-out material (including what I perceive to be your own personal explorations)? You obviously possess a wealth of knowledge, and have spent a great deal of time compiling and sharing your knowledge with us readers. (For which I, at least, am appreciative.)
You’ve written a whole book here. Where do you anticipate it might go? What goals do you have? How do you hope your knowledge and experience might influence those who read your posts? I’d love to learn more about your objectives, etc., if you have the time and inclination to share.
Many blessings,
Skye Alexander

Rob, I’m quite impressed with your blog. While almost anyone can make a large blog with many posts, it’s quite rare to find one with consistently well writen and thought provoking material.
The biggest limitation I’ve found with magick is the imagination of the practitioner, so I’ve been very glad to find your blog. It has inspired me to try new things I would not have considered otherwise. Thank you.
