Thread: **** hit the fan

Do not browbeat, God do not browbeat. I always say before using my cartouche to clear the cards of all negative influences and to bless them with divine light. When using my GD cards I do the LBRP and when I am finished the Adoration to the Lord of the universe. It has worked for me.

Yeah the browbeating can almost be compared to getting in the cage with a tiger and walking up to it and yelling at this big cat!LOL (That is if you make it that far!LOL

See, the problem wasn't that I was browbeating for answers, I was just curious about whatever. I started to push him around once I drew up a circle, then he left my house. It was more nerves and fright than anything. In retrospect I could have handled it with much more grace and sense, but that takes some time and foreplanning, which I didn't (stupidly) do.

I wasn't insinuating that you did, just leaving that as a tip.LOL We all need to actually work these things out and conquer our fears or these entities in which we evoke will use our fears against us. This is why this is so much like psychotherapy we are in a sense working with our inner demons. We must truly be aware of ourselves,...our true selves!

To Know, To Will, To Dare and, To Keep Silent is a simple maxim, which carries a lot of weight and wisdom. Following these four "rules" can do much to increase your magical effectiveness.

it is true that we must act in confidence to keep the powers that be will try to come over us
but not to be arrogant as in each of our rituals to perform them with presence as was explained while doing the LBRP

Is it not what we are striving for to find our true selves to become God like or in the likeness of God or the likeness of the energy we choose

Funny post m8s...i enjoy reading it and learned a lot.
I wish the best for u all

Don't panic is probably the best, and most humorous advice I have ever come across for any of the kind of situations similar to this one or any other. If you aren't aware of the source for the reference, I highly recommend 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe'.

Freaking out and panicking is about the worst you can do in this kind of situation, because it makes you react instead of acting in the best way you know how to. Keep a cool head and you can usually deal with any situation fairly well, it may not come out looking graceful, but who needs to look good if you are effective? Anyways, easier said then done, but if you think it enough times it becomes second nature.

In either case it sounds like you handled the situation pretty well. Personally, I don't think your problem was that you didn't cast a circle, ultimately a circle isn't really necessary, it is more how you reacted once you felt the '**** hit the fan' and your fear based on your inexperience of the situation, which is pretty much par for the course, and something I am sure we are all familiar with. Comes with the territory when we are constantly jumping the boundary into the unknown.

You believed that your mistake was that you hadn't cast a circle and so you were unprotected against what you attracted, and so it was. The circle has no power, you are the power, you are what makes the circle effective or not, and so you can work without a circle if you believe you can. The circle is just sort of a handy tool that makes an obvious symbol for your mind to work with.

There are no mistakes except the situations you don't learn anything from. Sounds to me like you had a pretty successful experience, that you managed very well. Congratulations, don't worry too much about making mistakes, they are going to happen. Don't let mistakes keep you from exploring and learning. Keep up the good work bud.
