What are you reading right now?
Pic related is what I'm reading.
I will give a book review of it when I'm done.
Interesting claim it makes: vampires were the result of people killing other people during salt shortages in medieval times and drinking the blood of others in order to get more salt and continue to live.
Check out these chapters.
Not jack shit. If I don't have the will to do magick I'm sure as hell not reading. I want to study and practice but I get so bored with everything. I can't even do a spell to get me confidence. I don't even meditate anymore.
>>13308What books have you already read please tell me.
Also what forms of meditation did you do, what spells, etc.?
What's your diet like btw? What kinds of salts do you consume?
I think after I'm done reading this I'm going to drink salt water for shits and giggles in an overly high concentration then go to my room and start doing spontaneous magic chaos style.
Btw if anyone is interested, I'm actually reading this because I have received an impulse or an intuitive insight to do so from something which has been guiding me for the last couple days at least maybe longer and telling me what to say and do every day. It had lead me from one thing to another in an extremely unlikely but very profound set of synchronistically connected events.
>>13311In a Norse Shaman / Chaoete / Hermeticist. I've read so much shit I'd have to get my kindle to see later on, nothing too interesting but I'll definitely lay them out here with my opinions and reviews.
I did meditation meditation, just cleared my mind, went into trance, moved energy around my body, made household spirits come into my mind and I'd obliterate them, etc
I did many forms of magick. Mostly ceremonial, I love ritual. I'm a Norse Shaman neoPagan like I said so I also sacrifice to the Gods and land spirits etc. I'm just religious now. Still studying Asatru though… I'm just way too distracted and if I over alone I'd get a lot more done.
Guy with the Illuminati flag are you there? Are you feeling sad? Want me to send you an orb later when I have the time?
>>13313Food. Sometimes I like to not eat meat but overall I'll eat anything. Real men eat meat.
>>13317Can you make the orb give me motivation to do magick? I'd be so glad if you did.
>>13318I also love mead, it's very healthy.
>>13316> nothing too interesting but I'll definitely lay them out here with my opinions and reviews. Please do. I am very much interested in writing and collecting book reviews for /fringe/ and from /fringe/ users and packaging them together with the books into our library.
If you have had shitty results with certain books or felt they wasted your time it's important you write a book review on it and help us avoid. Same thing if you got good results and felt they were very useful.
>I did meditation meditation, just cleared my mind, went into trance, moved energy around my body, made household spirits come into my mind and I'd obliterate them, etcThat's very vague.
>I did many forms of magick. Mostly ceremonial, I love ritual. I'm a Norse Shaman neoPagan like I said so I also sacrifice to the Gods and land spirits etc. I'm just religious now. Still studying Asatru though… I'm just way too distracted and if I over alone I'd get a lot more done.I have rituals.
Over alone? You mean those annoying mundanes are causing you trouble too and holding you back?
That feel when mundanes and their distractions are the bane of all Fringe Wizards.
>>13319Yeah I can. I should give it an infusion of energy and motivation and everything that will make you feel blazing with magical power.
>>13320>Please do. I am very much interested in writing and collecting book reviews for /fringe/ and from /fringe/ users and packaging them together with the books into our library.I'll have it done in like 2-3 hours.
>That's very vague.Sorry my magick changes all the time.
>I have rituals. Like what?
>Over alone? You mean those annoying mundanes are causing you trouble too and holding you back?Yes. Mundanes make too much noise by blaring the tv, screaming children neighbors, law mowers, civil disputes, good ol white trash America… NOT.
>That feel when mundanes and their distractions are the bane of all Fringe Wizards.;_;
>>13322Oh. Nevermind the "like what" part.
>mfw just reading this book I taste a ton of salt in my mouth and feel as if I have consumed salt and am very energetic and alive now
Happenings!
>>13325Brushing my teeth is a ritual I do lel.
>Yes. Mundanes make too much noise by blaring the tv, screaming children neighbors, law mowers, civil disputes, good ol white trash America… NOT.I know that feel although I don't know why you're calling them white trash this is a problem that isn't connected to race or class. Fucking televisions.
>>13329I mean I live in white trash area hence the civil disputes the neighbors have.
Hey does anyone here know what you're supposed to add to heavily distilled water to make it ok to drink after it having had everything filtered out of it?
>>13317Can you send me an orb to help raise my dream lucidity?
>>13337Hell yes I could! I'll put a little program into it that forces a launch sequence to bring you to a specific place in the astral where you're just going to be "woken up" but to the astral world by a bunch of entities there. You'll surely be in a stupor at first but we can fix this.
* When Julius Caesar attacked the barbarians in northern Europe, he took with him not only his armies, but his salinators' - the men who would make salt for him.
* The Roman Emperors Vespasian and Titus waged endless wars in the Holy Land - not for religious reasons, but to maintain control of the salt mines near the Dead Sea.
* In Medieval France, salt was taxed so greatly that men would risk 15 years slavery on the King's ships - or life imprisonment - to try to get some tax-free salt for their families. This tax, called the 'gabelle,' was one of the main reasons for the French Revolution.
* In Africa, a scarcity of salt made it more precious than human freedom. Families often sold children into slavery for a handful of salt. As recently as 1882, a traveler in British East Africa reported that he was offered a young girl in exchange for four loaves of salt.
>>13353If anyone wants to try reading this sigil it's supposed to be viewed with the mind's eye, expanded into 3-dimensions, and then attract two objects or words which will perform some actions. I need you to tell me what you experienced doing this. …or you can try whatever methods you have of sigil reading and tell me what happened.
The first sigil went off the edges so I made a second one.
>>13354I see a car with FRINGE on the license plate and a guy got out of it with tools box that also says FRINGE on it and whose face is obscured in shadow.
….
>>13355I'm scared to ;_; what is supposed to happen?
>>13357Nothing you will just see something that happens to convey certain information to you which if you put it together will
allow you access to the Illuminati.
>>13363wtf are you doing oh man that grid
Check this sigil
The fuck are you faggots doing. Kill yourselves; all of you worthless fucks.
It seems like everyone is posting in this thread so I'll ask here.
Should I cut "/edgy/" into my leg and make it a banner?
>>13372Can you heal that completely with no scar afterwards?
>>13375Cuts last forever. Pic related is some old ones when I first started.
>>13378This was all like in 2 days of starting I'm done attention whoring now :^)
>>13372>>13376>>13378Congrats, you're just like millions of emo fags. So edgy. Aren't you that underage kid?
>>13380lol, did you use your nails for that?
>>13379I went from having friends and everything to being lonely and spending my entire day in a room. I also have a eating disorder, not because I'm self-conscious about my weight but because I was poor for a long time and my stomach shrank and I can't eat as much anymore. Weird shit went through my head and I didn't like it so that's another reason. Also it seemed like everyone ignored me, parents would get food and would get me nothing, nobody would contact me not even on birthdays, etc. it first started out of curiosity but I love how it feels so I kept doing it.
>>13387Oh ignore that post not necessary anymore.
>>13388ALSO this was a month after I cut them.
>>13390PLUS I cut with a pencil sharpener razor so it was hard.
Provur that shit's going to haunt you until you find a way to magically remove these markings from your body.
That's a lot of feels I have known before btw.
Here's a sigil to help you.
>>13393I don't even care about them I put them in places nobody sees like my thighs, parts of the chest, my soles, etc. if it gets annoying to me I'll use scar cream and try magick.
>>13394I have way worse scars than you and in visible places ;_;.
Fuck I'm going to look at my own sigil for awhile.
I can't even remember what my sigils were for in this thread except for like one sheeeiiiitttt.
>>13396All I know is nothing was harmful, at most it would cause a little chaos, but that's it.
>>13395Those cuts were a looooooong time ago. I don't feel like tumblrfagging them but I'll cut /edgy/ into my leg for more edginess
>>13398Ok but don't cut deep or you'll end up with scars that really aren't going to go away easily.
I personally regret ever cutting myself and feel all wounds should be earned in combat or in magical mishaps or something not intentionally/deliberately directly inflicted.
Otherwise it's just pretty shameful.
Also in the interests of magic prepare yourself beforehand that the cuts should heal away completely and speedily and then proceed with whatever you can do to totally erase the cuts after you have made them using just your will / magical power alone.
>>13400I have scars from punching a mirror and fighting a loose german Shepard, is that combat scars?
Anyone want a sigil btw? I'm going to make fuckloads of sigils for the next while but may suddenly stop abruptly so capitalize on the chance to have a sigil made specially for you now for whatever purpose. All I ask is you report back on results.
I am an extremely forgetful person btw and usually can't remember what I just made so these sigils should in theory be very powerful.
>>13404MAKE ME MORE MOTIVATED TO DO MAGICK
>>13406I felt a surge of energy come from above my left ear to my heart. Dunno if that was your purpose I actually feel a shit ton better all of a sudden
>>13407Fuck yes it worked!
Going to add a second sigil to reinforce the effects of that one.
>>13409I like how you add hearts :3 <3 kawaii
Rate my attempt at drawing edgy in myself. It's on /edgy/
>>13408Btw for anyone viewing this thread, that particular sigil is personalized for Provur specifically, I am not sure what effects it may have on anyone else who views it and tries to tap into it.
Provur should be heavily magically boosted right now but this one is for fun and will have some wonderful and amusing effects when it takes hold.
Now to cast a sigil to make myself read my salt book further to completion.
To be viewed tomorrow.
>>13413Shit fuck this sigil is already effecting me.
Ok got to make another one modifying the previous one… to add a delay of appropriate length and cause another effect in the present.
Done. Fuck now I'll be back in some hours, hopefully I'll make it to my room before this second sigil completely takes effect.
>>13414This will work on anyone who views it btw.
>>13342The lucidity orb didn't seem to work last night. I don't remember anything out of the ordinary.
>>13421That's because I didn't send one. It takes awhile to make them you know.
>>13437Oh, I didn't know it took that long. I thought it was relatively quick, like less than an hour.
>>13438It can be done but I was busy sigil-casting and doing other magick.
My sigils here:
>>13413 and
>>13414Had some really weird and startling effects last night.
Want me to cast a sigil for you? They are fast to do.
>>13441That would be great, thanks.
Woah thank you wizard flag dude for making that sigil. I just got the intense urge to stop what I'm doing and start doing some hermetic energy workings. Thank you, I appreciate it man.
>>13303>Interesting claim it makes: vampires were the result of people killing other people during salt shortages in medieval times and drinking the blood of others in order to get more salt and continue to liveI would imagine it's far easier to just get a thin bucket of seawater, place it in the sun and allow the water to evaporate- leaving you with salt. Of course this would be impossible in landlocked nations though.
Also I lost both of my razor blades today; they disappeared.
Happenings!
I was going to use the blade to sharpen my pro-white Asatru wand but I guess I'll have to wait till I can but another pencil sharpener.
>>13491>>13493Everything is happening just as planned! Also guess what I just finished reading my salt book to completion, both of my sigils here
>>13413 and here
>>13414 that I made for myself had a profound effect on me.
Reading the salt book (well, not right NOW of course) while also chewing on rough salt. It's really interesting so thanks for mentioning it. I've browsed through that library dozens of times but never looked at this book.
Also, I'd appreciate some good vibrations from you.
>>13508Wow, seems as if your sigils are especially potent. Good work, man! If you don't mind me asking, how do you charge them?
I finished the book yesterday and thought about it for some hours last night and here is why I think it may be bullshit to some extent:
- the salt has 84 other minerals/elements to it but could we not acquire these same 84 other minerals/elements just as easily from other sources then the salt? Wouldn't it be found in our food in general?
- do all the people that have lived to 100+ years of age, have they all consumed this specific variety of salt? What if they have not? Then why have they lived so long and in such good health regardless?
- some of the claims in the book like about violence being connected to a lack of good salt seem dubious to me, I'm pretty sure it's more related to the psychiatric industry and the race problem than salt
- I notice that all of the people who benefited from this salt and experienced good health and healing were pretty much sold on its health benefits beforehand, in other words they believed in the power of the salt to heal them, and I think this indicates magic is at play here. There's not a single cited instance of a person in the book healing from the salt who thought it wouldn't be good for them beforehand…
- if we can materialize matter with just thought, what's to stop us from generating missing elements in our diet in much the same manner? The body is very smart and can get rid of excess nutrients and find ways to acquire what is lacking.
- tl;dr I think most of the benefits of this salt came from their belief in its healing power
The basic premise of the book that an unprocessed salt with more minerals is better for you seems to be true but I literally think magic is what's causing some of the more miraculous healings to happen with the use of this salt.
I still have to actually acquire this celtic salt and put it to the test before I really criticize anything.
I think what the book does though which is perhaps the most objectionable is make it seem like this salt is absolutely essential to healthy living, like you couldn't possibly have good health without it. What if that idea is just wrong?
I find it interesting that they could replace the blood of a dog with saline solution and that the saline solution apparently used celtic salt, and that fish die in water with regular processed salt but manifest good health with celtic salt, and that horses also do well with celtic salt licks. However in all instances maybe it's just the belief of the person using the celtic salt that's making it work? I would have to find contradictory studies though to make that assessment.
I took a look at my aquarium salts and both of them are just evaporated sea water. The chunks of salt are variable in size, they aren't as fine as table salt. They appear white like: >>3237087
My fish do well on that salt. Maybe this emphasis on celtic salt (which has quite a bit of manganese and some other elements) is overblown?
This concludes my review/criticism of the book.
Fuck me I finished The Science of Breath a few days ago so now I need to review it. This is going to take awhile.
