life is a game.

are you on storymode or freeplay?

Yes, there is a place / where someone loves you both before / and after they learn what you are.

Neil Hilborn, "Lake", The Future

LIVE IN YOUR IMAGINATION !!! it’s real anyway & the more you do it, the easier it gets, the more real it feels to you. HAVE YOUR DREAM BODY, HAVE YOUR DESIRED CAR, LIVE IN THE CITY YOU WANT TO. YALL THEY ARENT LYING WHEN THEY SAY LIVE IN YOUR DESIRED END. JUST DO IT !!!!!! ONCE YOU DO THIS YOUR MANIFESTATIONS WILL MATERIALIZE FASTER THAN THE SPEED OF LIGHT !!

***you do not need to do methods or this specifically in order to get your manifestations

3am thoughts:

the places that resonate most with me, are part of me, are the liminal spaces. the places that aren't proper places, but spaces betwixt; waystations, transitional places.

crossroads, stairwells, gas stations, train platforms, airport gates, cemataries. rooftops at dusk, or any time really. long stretches of highway in bad country when no one else is on the horizon. a pier with a lone bench at the end and a flickering lampost, surrounded by 70 year old bullet scars in the concrete. 3am at the waffle house, where everything is real and nothing is. an abandoned railroad bridge where your friends used to jump in the river, but you refused knowing instinctively the nature of the place. the waiting room of a hospital when you're silently pleading with gods who don't listen about a beginning or an end. overgrown trails and backyards that abut the highway. an out of the way park, with a monument so weatherbeaten and overgrown that no one remembers what it once commemorated. a party when you're not sure if it's too late or too early but you're the only one left awake so you sit at the window and wait to see what comes.

my heart resides in these spaces and my thoughts often turn to them. rarely are they pleasant, often discomforting because things are thinner there, both less and more real. have you felt it, the power of liminal spaces? that niggling sense that things aren't as they seem and really never were? that feeling that you've overlooked something important but can't remember what it was? next time you find yourself in a place such as these, listen, there is power there, and a promise. the promise that everything changes, moves on, passes for good or ill and the power to see it through. change, transition, death and rebirth.

Crystal Knot Magic

Knotting a crystal net is very easy if you are able to use your fingers for this kind of crafting.

They are often called crystal "wraps" and many tutorials can be found on Youtube.

There are many, many ways to make a crystal net. The style you use determines the final appearance. More importantly for us, the style you use determines how many knots there will be, and their size.

We can draw on four common elements of magic: Crystal/mineral correspondences, color correspondences, numerology, and knot magic.

The stone (or other object) is like the battery which holds and radiates power. The object you net should correspond to your core intent.

The color of cord or thread you use can modify or hone your intent. For example, if using clear quartz, the color correspondence might be doing most of the work.

Then again, this spell will work with cotton twine and a river stone, so just do whatever suits you.

The total number of cords you use dictates how many knots total will exist in your spell. Crystal nets are made by tying two strands of cord together. If you use four cords, you will have eight working ends, and therefore you will tie four knots per row. If you have five cords, you will have ten working ends, and you will need to tie five knots per row. I align my numerology to the number of knots, not strands, because the knots themselves are holding the magic.

The knots are used to tie intent and bind power. I create most of my charms in a style that has one big starter knot at the top and one big finishing knot at the bottom. There are tons of ways to utilize knots in this project. The first knot can hold the only intent, while the rest bind powers to support it. Or the intent can be split into its composite parts and each part gets its own knot. Or every single knot can have something unique, or they can all be identical... lots of options.

Conceptually, the inner object is the focal point or battery of the spell. The knots can be understood as tools that the object uses to carry out your will, instructions to guide the object in its work, vessels that carry additional power (like tidepools on a beach), or tangles that capture and bind up unwanted forces.

To perform this sort of magic:

1. Learn how to make the nets first from an arts and crafts perspective :) you can cut the cording off to re-use the same stone later. It is really frustrating to try and do a craft in a ritual headspace if you have to learn the craft simultaneously!

2. Gather up your cording and object to be netted. Do any ritual techniques you prefer to prepare them.

3. Decide how you want your intent to be tied in. Do you want to use the same phrase for each knot? Do you want to chant your intent continuously while you do many knots? Etc.

4. Make the crystal net in your ritual headspace/magic zone. Pour your intent into each knot in whatever methods you choose.

5. I recommend making the final knot of your project into the seal which completes and finishes the amulet ("so mote it be," "as my will it has been done," etc).

6. If you did not raise and direct energy during the spell, ensure the amulet is charged afterwords. Like all amulets and talismans, it requires feeding and repowering as time goes on.

As I've continued working on my beginning grimoire, I've been mostly making pages as replacements for pages that I've come to think aren't so good or just take up needless space within the binder. These new pages reflect refinements in my understanding as I've continue reading up on serious magical practice. For example, as I've refined my understanding of galdr (or the singing and chanting of incantations), I've made this new page to start the section discussing galdr. I also thought that I'd try something with perspective in the illustration.

"multiverse" - existence of alternate realities

spoiler warning : wandavision, doctor strange and the multiverse of madness.

if you have watched the movie MoM, you must have observed that every possible reality exists and there's an infinity of them. one where you were created out of blocks of cubes, another where you were paint. it's funny to think that in some reality, we might be aliens on another planet.

stephen strange happened to visit realities where christine never loved him and as always, he got friendzoned. those were his dominant assumptions in his reality. there might have been realities where christine and him got married but due to his assumption ( which many people commonly have about their sp ) that he isn't worthy of her love, he shifted to those realities where christine didn't love him.

moving onto wanda, she used her magical powers to make herself pregnant with twins while she was married to the android superhero vision. those magical powers were spells that she created but when they broke completely, her sons got erased from existence in her current reality and that was accompanied by her husband, vision getting dismantled. she desperately wanted to shift to a reality where she still had her sons and was living a happy, normal life because of the trauma of losing all of her loved ones. that turned her into scarlett witch. however, "shifting" to that reality came at a cost since she would be replacing the version of herself that was enjoying her life with her sons peacefully. she was no longer wanda, but scarlett witch. a hot yet scary villain.

In real life as well, alternate realities exist and switching realities is called "shifting". remember, how you wish you had said something different or done something else so that everything would have changed? you are switching realities with each word you say and each movement you make. but we don't notice it because of the way our minds are programed.
