Dhumraketu" (Dhumraketu)
So I was going to write this long empassed blog on Occult(tm) and how someone basically criticized me ever posting Baphomet on my facebook ( telling me I could make more money without that), and why you shouldn't follow that path... Instead we are going to get Ganesh post.
I like that better anyway.
So people often ask me what I do for my own magical practice. I DO alot, but my daily practice is one that you can do anywhere. You might ask, when do I do this work, and I will tell you On the Train to and from work.
That should open a whole bunch of ideas from the start,
So I am going to share it with you. This requires a whole bunch of set up and pre-work. It has been my experience that Hindu mantras in general are a little strange and their is a secret hidden about mantra work in general. Sure sure sure, I sometimes have a spiritual visit from a Guru in dreams, often times its just Ganesh, but I do not have a physical Guru. As an aside, I might like one, that wasn't a fraud, but the spirits help me out often.
Hindu mantras ultimately work better if they are gifted to you by a Guru connected to spirit. However, one of the consequences of the Kali Yuga is to be blunt, "There are many gurus who will take away your money, but rare is the one who will take away your miseries." Meaning, very few gurus will actually be able to empower mantras or do much of anything besides rip you off. In my humble opinion. if one is truly sincere, you can activate any mantra to its full power. As an aside, these kinds of techniques work for other mantra work even sigil mantra work. So first, let me give you the mantra I am working on
OM SHI SIDDHI VINAYKAYA SVAAHAA
This mantra salutes and invokes the activity of Ganapati in the age of darkness or the Kali Yuga. Some people will use Namaha instead of Svaahaa, but I am over 29 so it is recommended to use the Svaahaa which ties the mantra closer to shakti energies, In practice, its like giving the mantra a fire boost. Did I mention, one project I actually have like 75 pages written, is a fire magic book. This mantra was given to me by Thomas Farrar, but posthumously by someone who gave me a TON of his resources and just said, dude,... this is totally for you ( more or less Ganesh said give it to you). He was probably right.
Now, I am working on this mantra specifically cause of a dream, and various readings point to it being a good place for me to roll into the new year. Despite the darkness, the mantra with dedication assures you will overcome any evil in your life and overcome all your obstacles. THAT SOUNDS LIKE A KICK ASS PLACE TO JUMP START THE YEAR.
You can just do the mantra, but I promise if you read the rest of the blog ( which you might have to read two other blog posts as well), when you do mantra on the train, bus, or riding a car,,,, Well it will be like a TON of bricks. Usually when Hindu spirits bug me, I have a set way to attune myself to a mantra. If you're into Reiki, the actual way the hindu mantra's work best is similar. There is a attunement phase, but with dedication, I will again say you can get the kick without a guru.... Or you just bug me and ask me to do one of the mantra's with you in Cleveland that I have become attuned to.
First off, before starting on fire rituals, and that's where I am going with this blog post, you really need to get this down. This technique really empowers the Aum ( which is the first syllable of this mantra) and sets a much more powerful way to interact with mantra.
Second, I kinda take the process of full immersion in ritual to really activate the mantra. It has worked every time. Here is a modified and simple Fire Homa in the instructions replace the Mala Hreem Shreem Kleem Pah-rahm Esh-wah-ree ( oh god that ritual kicked my ass so much), with OM SHI SIDDHI VINAYKAYA SVAAHAA.
Generally, its just not possible to count and pour the ghee. Trust me, you just can't do it. Try to find a partner for this part of the ritual. Try to do that ritual with 10 Japa mal, or which is 10X108 or 1080 mantras. The reasons for doing the fire with the mantra work is that the fire supposedly multiplies the effect of the mantra by ten. So instead of 1080, you are actually doing 10800 mantras. Trust me if you do the AUM technique first, then go through the rest of the mantra with a fire, Ganesh will show up. The real idea is that the mantra will permeate through each of your cells and really seep in. There are more techniques to amp this up further as well, and yes they will be in the fire magic book. Getting through a full 1080 mantras is tough, people start hallucinating who are participating. If you are tending the fire, you have to EXTRA discipline to stay in the moment. Its an endurance fest and you have to do each mantra with real sincerity. That is probably the key. I have never seen Ganesh not attune to a mantra, I wanted to work with if I approached him with this level of sincerity. Often he will help me get attuned to other mantras of other spirits as well.
Now, once you do this you will notice a real change in what the impact of the mantra is. It will hit as a ton of bricks after the ritual. You will notice the difference. That is the difference between the mantra being activated and not. If you really have the mantra attuned you will feel your body react if you intone the mantra. It is a visceral and body reaction.
That is the first stage. Then you have to convince yourself, you can intone the mantra with enough concentrated and disciplined thought. So you have to practice.
Intone the mantra, get the body reaction.Do the mantra almost as a whisper, concentrate and get the body reaction.Do the mantra slowly in your head, focus even more clearly, get the body reaction. Then you are ready for the bus or train test. You got to get it to work inside your head with focus, before doing it on the train. Do not be one of those people on the train or bus or as a passenger in car pooling... You know what I mean.
That part might happen really quickly, or take a little bit of time to convince yourself of it. When you are convinced, its time to make your travel time work for you.
So for the bus, what do you do?
Well if you did the fire ritual like I was suggesting, do the Aum as I described above, but keep your focus on your crown at the end of the Aum and go through the rest of the mantra. Now, it should ring, almost like a bell. I mean you can feel it through your whole body. If you can't feel the vibration throughout your whole body and did that above fire homa, I bet you are somewhat distracted or just remember how you felt and your body reacted through the homa. Again, the distraction and focus is something you will have to work on, on the train, That takes a bit of practice too.
As a simplification, its probably just simple enough to think of your body as a bell. Just use all five of your senses to feel, see it, hear it, be it, rippling through your body. Now, it might seem odd to say see a mantra, but trust me, you can go back to what you saw when you did the Fire homa or you might even see a texture spreading through your body. You want to amplify the body reaction. There are ways to amplify the mantra back down through the chakras, but you really have to get down something like my exercise here and a whole bunch more on the naddis and how the chrakas work from a practical magical engineering point of view.
In 30 minutes, you can probably with intensity do at least 108 repetitions, Sometimes, people might look at you, but for the most part they just ignore you ( outside of people who are obviously psychic). So there is a little prep work, but then after that... well who doesn't want to overcome obstacles and have the power to overcome any "evil" in their lives... Hell yeah, Traditionally 40 days will see big benefits, but I can tell you that doing this in this way helps sooner then that.
And you can do it on the train, bus, plane, boat, or other ( space ships?).
"Andrieh's HYPNOTIC JOY SIGIL LAUNCHER eliminates any barrier one might have to doing magical practice. Don't have candles, oils, incense, etc.? No problem! Andrieh gives clear instructions from his book on how to create a sigil from an intention using just a pen and paper. Then just listen to the MP3 as Andrieh's voice guides you in empowering and launching the sigil. I have personally used this to launch my own sigils as well as connect with a spiritual being using its sigil with great results. You also feel great afterwards. This is a great investment for people of any level of magical practice." --Kevin Korody
