    I've been working with spirits since I was a young man, being raised in the pentecostal church it was normalized. Now I am a Man, I have matured. I stay around the hosts of the heavens and allow their guidance, also I have found for my path that natural magic fits like a glove, herbalism, totems, fetish, animal familiars, have all taken a place in my journey. Thank you for this channel, it is a gold mine of modern esoteric arcana... I love how you manage to sift through the fluff that abounds our craft. Love is the law, love under Will. 93

    Ive been interested in the workings with spirits, thanks so much for this! I also appreciate how you explained his writing style, because thats the type of books im looking for. I've been a bit mentally burnt out, reading such HEAVY ancient texts and philosophies and just difficult language. It takes so much time to process and integrate. Great and helpful review yet again

      @@willowwainwright7687 I mostly work in the realm of earth magick and animism in my actual practices, and i work with the spiritual energies of plants, stones, and things like that. I take a lot of information from local indigenous groups as well, to get info on local natural energies. In my opinion, working with any energy or being outside yourself, even a flower, is working with spiritual energies. So I would say yes. I've had some intensely profound experiences I would consider mystical, while in nature or being near large old trees.

    I have several of his books, and they're all great. I've really enjoyed Consorting with Spirits, and it's taken my magick to a whole new level. I can't recommend this book enough.

  • @Ricca_Day
    @Ricca_Day Před 2 lety +13

    This really sounds like a wonderful undertaking. It’s clear that you are an admirer of his approach. As a practicing Christian, being aware of the spirits from my earliest years, this book looks like one I’d benefit from particularly well. No one really teaches us how to understand the ones we see, the things we understand intuitively, or how they are a part of our God given gifts, too often treating others who display these gifts as anathema, or conversely being disrespectful towards those who don’t appear to share “our” beliefs, insights and traditions.
    I pray.. constantly.. but I hear as well. Don’t always know or fully understand what i receive, but am willing to be of service towards Grace and the fragility of mortality. Perhaps I really am a witch in the eyes of Man, but that’s doubtful in the Eyes of Christ..
    Spirits frequently seek a shelter.. imho.
    Those who have been here and were disenfranchised while living, need to heal or release their anguish.
    Those who were searching, perhaps still are. But some may not have been yet. Those potential eternals searching for a place of manifestation, may be the most cunning and deceptive, or the more hesitant to commit themselves to a mortal life or their own, so seeking interaction with spirits should be done with caution, regardless of the intentions of the mortal individuals, again.. imho.
    Since I’m literally nobody, having no initiation whatsoever outside of my heart’s commitment to Christ Jesus, who is my Living Example of what Unconditional LOVE looks like, it’s risky business to identify oneself as a believer on every side, but when one sees beyond the Veil with an frequency, it becomes apparent that one must be aware of the necessity to remain in humility towards the Presence of all spirits, regardless of the intentions of others. Only the Holy Spirit is capable of guiding these improbable lives, so the awareness of the darkness, must come with a stiff awareness that the negative souls are sometimes searching for outlets to operate more desperately in the days where Cosmic Consciousness is on the Rise.
    We are in such a Cycle right now, so stay grounded and be intent towards personal willingness to be accountable towards the Whole of Creation.
    I think it was around 7 years ago, when my mind was opening up beyond my comfort level by a mile, but also realizing how much spiritual stuff has always been around my life, operating in such a way as to be quite obvious looking backwards, I heard the Voice of my Lord say, “ I’m teaching you the Left-hand Path, from the Right-Hand Side.” Funny how I didn’t really understand how twisted up i might be in the Process! Lol! But seriously.. it’s certainly been interesting.. painful in many ways, difficult at times, but an exercise in humility and heightened expectations nonetheless.
    Harmony within the Cosmic Context is quite different than finding ones people outside the Æther. The ego is so overreaching at times, that it’s hard to simply Be the vessel, but when one seeks out Union with the Infinite, one must be prepared to stretch out one’s tent pegs.. or even bury them in the temples of those who would seek to destroy the good from the Face of the Earth. Warriors are we seekers, but what and Whom we seek define us for Forever in many, many ways.
    Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm for this book and its author’s approach. Your efforts are appreciated here and in the forums I’m able to catch from time to time. I pray your heart knows its own peace, dear sir. Your insights are a blessing, so be blessed!🤗

    Dear FF, Jason Miller is undoubtedly one of the good ones, isn't he? His book “Protection and Reversal Magick” has already become a classic. He really knows what he's talking about. Besides he still the advantage of actively and competently conjugating different branches, so that his work is a non-denominational one. I take this is as a big plus!

    I have (and have read multiple times) all of his books and have taken most of his classes. I'm not done with this one yet but so far no typos. All of his other books (and classes) are riddled with them, so heads up to anyone out there annoyed by that type of thing. Regardless of that, the information is solid. I largely agree with him on many things and hold the same personal and moralistic stances toward occultism that he does. I admire and respect him and his work greatly. He remains one of my favorite living teachers. Highly recommend.

      Just a little tip, Vassago likes to stick around after the ritual and won’t always depart just because you tell it to, so be sure to know (and be confident) in some banishment methods before you start working with it. But other than that, Vassago is a great spirit to work with and has a lot to offer besides the things listed in the Goetia.

    Edit: "it's written for the clarification of magic, not for the edification of the author" nailed it. As a lowly layman, I've often stayed away from Esoteric content, circles and communities because of this. It's not about how much more clever one is, and it is truly refreshing.

    Definitely an instant classic, his years of teaching really come across in its accessibility. I've actually taken his black school course and some of the material from that is in here (as well as in my own practice) so it's all quite comfortable. I've been going back and fourth reading this and "the book of the black dragon" just at the moment which as you know is pretty much the polar opposite!(gives new meaning to "occult".)It's nice to have this when for when I start to get exhausted.😆

Looking at the list of things he's used for, it says: find a lost object, discover truth, know the past, and sense change. So yeah, sounds like a benevolent spirit to work with.

    I have been cursed!
    I did divination and I got a clear yes, and after a few weeks, in the span of two week, 2 different people told me the exact same thing:
    That someone cursed me to become cold to the opposite sex, and sex in general, I will separate from my girl, although we are still in love, which has happened 7 months ago, and that I will fail in my business, which I have.
    I have been depressed and had no energy for the duration of last year or so, nothing I do will change it for the better and everything I attempted to do have failed.
    What should I do?

      Ah! Reza, I'm so sorry. I'm afraid I'm not an expert at removing curses, but having recently discovered the work of Jason Miller, I imagine that you could probably do worse than pick up his book "Protection and Reversal Magick". Do you already have Damon Brand's "Magical Protection"? That's another cheap but effective option I can definitely vouch for.

    I concur completely. Yeah, I got my copy a few days back and it’s written exactly the way we expected. If had one complaint, if you could even call it such, it would be that I wished it were a bit longer (and perhaps a hardcover)! I’m about halfway through and there are already at least a half dozen entries that I wished were 2-3x as long. As he himself states to go into some of this too deeply would be beyond the scope of his book, but yeah -I wanted more. A veritable treasure trove of ideas and I would be surprised if this publication didn’t bring in a lot more students for his course work. I’m certainly considering. He has at least one episode on Glitch Bottle that’s worth listening to as well if you haven’t already.

    Hello dear Foolish Fish
    I may like to hear your opinion in a Replay or maybe why not a video in a little explanatory topic of the amazing esoteric Saturdays series.
    For us your students and new practitioners and your channel followers.
    I was reading the book The Angels of Love by Zanna Blaise from The Gallery of Magick.
    About simple and easy heart healing rituals with the help of Angels that we are asked to contact using some devine names and sigil scanning (similar to most of Damon brand's method)
    But why most of those so called angels are mentioned as demons in the dictionary of demons by Michelle Belanger.
    Like the angel Amiel for example:
    Amiel: one of a several chief dukes said to serve the demon malgaras during the hours of night.
    He is affiliated with the court of the west.
    Amiel is depicted having thirty lesser spirits at his command, and he appears in the same work under the demon Asyriel...
    So are those real angels or demons?
    The author doesn't ask the reader to use any Magick or spiritual protection of any kind.
    Thank u & B.regards

    • @FoolishFishBooks
      @FoolishFishBooks  Před 2 lety +1

      Those angels are essentially incarnations of the 72 parts of the 72-fold name of God, generated through three lines from the book of Genesis (Google "Shem ha-mephorash). There is no reason to believe Michelle Bélanger over basically everyone else. I can confirm from personal experience that working with these angels doesn't require any protection.
