is kind and generous....and does everything he is told without complaint, even gets the favor of the pharaoh himself, and the pharaoh even says "you must be a master by now".......he thinks perhaps i should.........
So he goes back to his master and asked "am i worthy to be a master yet?", the master says yes
will you make me one? he shakes his head and says there is one more test you must pass to become a master.....
The student says "whats the test, task, i know i can pass!!!", The master then says "You must Talk to the Sphinx, for it is wiser then all the masters and it will give you the right to be..." (the student says..but master the sphinx is stone and sand and it doesn't speak, ....ah says the master but it does.....the sphinx sees and and tells all....
Well then i will go and talk, ok....says the master "tell me what it tells you"......
The student then goes and sits at the sphinx's feet through sun and rain and winter and heavy wind....then the student says to himself..i am tired of awaiting, he won't know that i didn't talk to the sphinx.....and make me a master......
So he walks and thinks and then i will be the Pharaoh's voice and have gifts un-dreamed of...but i feel sad i have to lie, it was perhaps a trick anyway...just to keep me from getting to be something i earned....
So he goes to the temple knees down and say " the sands was bad but i braved them to bring you this message" the sphinx says......(i am worthy to be a master because my heart is strong and pure)
the master looks about all the other students and says...he has spoken to the sphinx and is ready to have his staff.....the cheers and the clapping and then the master says...what password did the sphinx give you? ( what the student says, oh the password was thebes ) sorry but thats not it....
The student humbled himself before the master feet and said, i waited, and waited, and nothing..i am not worthy
so i will leave and never come back.......
The master smiles and says give it one last try........
That very night the sphinx spoke...... and said are you ready to move on, you must prove your better then all the ones before you...revile them for they are like serpents on the ground to you.......(sorry great one but i will not do this) i will not abandon any whom are with me or about me, i will not...i can not....
Then you will never be a true master..........
Then so be it and the wind blown and the sky hissed and he returned that very night to say what the sphinx said......
and the master was so proud....you said that to a God, our God......
You are now Ready, oh by the way it was my brother who did the voice.........
How, did you know i was going to lie, then fight for the right to be a good person in your eyes.........
Because you was always watched by me, i saw you get angry, wait, in weather that even we don't like and i knew you was going to come back with nothing but your pride, and i knew you was never going to forget or mistreat the school and its students........(what if you was wrong?) then i wouldn't be worthy of making you a master now would i......
Lets go see the Pharaoh
| The lessor and the Greater | by Luxas for everyone |
In
all things there are the need to know and why, but in the arts there
are the values of trust and reward, no trust and you get no reward,
simple as that..many want to say as in occult schooling that this value
system is not correct, but that's because they want but can't
have....true value comes from no longer guessing at an answer but having
a value to put to every question asked that is called "wisdom",
oh..field of being it is about the rules to this "reward"
When you do as your asked then you get a freedom, when you don't your energy, nature, self suffers, unless you just don't care, then you are judged by nature..ie the powers that be after you have tried to enter their domain, until then you are accountable to no one, however your not protected either.....your magic(k) will act like a trail leading anything and everyone to your door and you will not know who to trust or who to answer, without some help.....
(that's why you try and follow a few rules) otherwise....your on your own....
I love the people who don't believe this, 5 months to a year...it comes seeking them...lol
Now the greater..... the greater wants you to have , wants you to use , wants anything you want....and will give it to you...because of your following of the rules of the lessor, it is obligated..by way of oath to give it to you....even if you don't openly ask....
Nature takes care of its own, but more then that it respects the one who keeps its secrets and its methods, not to protect but to allow the time for another like you to be ready to have, some do this automatically others do it by the gateways they accidentally venture in when they don't play well with others...
What you need to know is as an Adept Mage/Magus your actions reflect the lessor or the greater as you use them to effect the world about you....
The more your rewarded, the more your doing as you are meant to, the less your rewarded the more you need to wonder what your not getting..
I loved it when this satanic guy said to me, i can do as i want i'm with satan he will protect me and i can be as evil as i want, his grandmother shows up and kicks his ass, and says you devil child i am going to tell your parents.....now he is homeless and in need of a place to place his ritual altar......( did satan back him up? ) yeah right out on the street.....a witch friend of his walks up to the grandmother and says to her" tell them it was a lie, that you was angry and you wasn't thinking?, the old woman says make me.....the witch girl touches her hand and the old woman lost breath, fainted (she whispers want to die?) the old woman says she will tell....in the hospital the family came and they gathered about the woman and she said she lied and they forgave her and 3 days later the guy had a place to live.....the girl who was a friend of his said.....to the guy....if you ever do a stupid thing like that i am going to hurt you....he smiled and she smiled and said..she the old womans face, i was not going to let her go that easy.....
He said your a satanic witch come from satan to help me, she said hell no, i'm a dark witch and satan can kiss my ass...(well you can guess what happen next..lol)

| the things they call evil | by cadavi00 for everyone |
Why
is it that those of the politically, socially, and institutionally
correct always make the rules as to what is right and wrong, good and
evil. When they sit and council among themselves the rules and
punishments but remain beyond the reach of their own rules. As if
justice is their tool alone.
msn-dal-theos wrote on Sep 26, '08
Justice isn't their tool alone, they just think that.
And
truthfully anything concerning bad or good is just philosophical, we
could debate about that all day. Are there certain actions that don't
benefit the world or universe around.... yes depending, but you have to
remember that all gets played into balances, and even chaos is a factor
in that equation. Regardless of what the Nilist says.
I
find it's hard to escape politics in anything, and most of politics are
just crap, but hey, who am I to judge at this point and time.
| the shamans grander messages | by Luxas for everyone |
Earth, the passage of the wisdom of the shaman, is like the form of force of rain falling down and returning to heaven. Of fire starting as a small log and reaching out to become like a bonfire, as a wind starting as a small gust and turning into a tropical storm. From the pain of birth to the returning nature of the body to the soil.
The earth serves as the powered source of the shaman though the shaman’s skill is without limits and reaches as far and wide as a wizards influence. The nature of the shaman is minuscule even with such potential the shaman’s gifts are never fully realized at least not by the shaman’s hands.
Shamanism Rules
1. Helping other in duty and responsibility never for the self.
2. Nature teaches, the teacher doesn’t teach.
3. Divided becomes collective avoids.
4. The key to the shaman’s nature is through the trials of valor.
5. Witchcraft is not shamanism, nor is shaman part of the witches design
6. Shamans learn from shamans, students learn from guides
7. Nature is within its own self a training tool
8. Magic takes a different form when it becomes a different sight
9. The eye is the passage while the dragon is the rule
10. Each element acts as its own branch of the tree
11. Branches are the way to find a culture but never a separation of culture
12. The fire is the educator the advanced and the justice (as vision tool)
Air- cosmic force that binds the shaman to their word the introverted space that doubles as the shaman’s shadow from fire. It is this secondary energy that brings development to the shaman’s ability to grow into the spiritual world. Air is the developer of the tools of the shaman design.
Fan ( Possession)
The shaman fan is used for developing the connection between the mind and the body.
Rod (Draw out)
The rod a wooden stick about the standard length of an arm is used to draw out illness and or discomfort from others.
Bell (Hypnotic Tool)
Is a tool that is used to fix a set period of time. That by use of creats a euphoric event in the mind of the individual so that it can be brought forward or backward within that fixed period.
Water- purification, the process of the shaman is to set themselves aside from their personal burdens. They seek to understand and reach a state of complete freedom to address the natures of illness life and transformation. Their tool is the instrument it self.
Unified- is the droplets of water taken from the hand and spread upon the environment to enhance develop or transform the three main designs of the principle of air. The shaman’s inner connection is based on the value of the wheel.
Transforming- the art of which the tool is applied to water which is used to spread openly as stated in the unified; however, it is not set up by the wheel but by the performing task necessary.
Contained- used in ceremonial blessings or the abundance of an object a pale of water purified with certain marks. The object/tool would be dunked within this would then be used to set aside the potential or erase the potential of an object depending upon the ritual.
Fire- Knock knock, the other thing you hear is called who’s there. The reason shaman’s use this theology is because something knocks from the other side of the door. The shaman’s design within the fire is to be the observer and the door opener, it is their job to observe who is on the other side and wither to let them in or not. Entities, energies, and natures are knocking all the time. It is these messages that set apart the unrestricted access to the spirit or soul, which is the duty of the shaman to protect.
The advanced essence of this form is the symbol above (the psychic eye). Through a reflective window safely gazing among the fire, the shaman’s spirit and body physically merge with the wall of the flames, to act as the protector and observing patron to those whom journey within and beyond the door.
The Fire Ring
The first and most sacred ritual of shaman though not used by modern shaman anymore, they prefer to do dancing rather than embarking upon the rings. The purpose of the fire is to remind us of the strengths and weaknesses of life to remind us that without it we will return to the cold emptiness of nothing. Though this is the spiritual truth, its not the education of one who seeks to enter shamanism. For though the elements are 4 the design of their nature is 3 to represent the mind, body, spirit to become part of the new age image. But once again it’s about learning it not creating something from it. We are merely the pioneers of the fruit that will be at our table.
SHAMANISM
Shamanism is one of the most ancient of spiritual practices though the spirit was never spiritual itself. Though in many cultures the subdivision of religion and personal truth becomes the spreading out of the branches of the advancing shaman discovery. As it’s participation imparted in the greater good.
Shamanism is by most a basic word meaning practice of nature; however, as one develops magical influences they may see that the word doesn’t always fit the message. The modern example is based in rarities indistinguishable cultures that settled themselves more like fortune telling gypsies than true honest acolytes of nature. A shaman is three steps down from a wizard as in medium, 2 sets above witch and 3 steps behind druid. These measurements are based on tool ratio as in abundance of tools versus none. Some systems require a personalization of a journey, a trial of life and death and even possession of an entity or spirit before one is allowed to take education.
Different Types of Tribes: Named and Unnamed and their tools
Staff- the staff or walking stick is a powerful tool of the shaman that brings them closer to the energies of the earth and magnetic fields that exist on and within it. The staff will usually have animal symbols or attachments to it to symbolize the powers that exist within. Aids in control of elemental forces, healing or other natural phenomina used to promote healing or harming and can act upon emotional fields. Advances workings and speeds healing on sacred sites.
Necklace- the necklace serve in the idea of advancing the shaman’s energy heightening their senses and bringing them to new levels. These necklaces can also serve to protect the shaman while in alternate states of mind or even traveling to other planes of existence.
Medicine Bag- the medicine bag is used to carry certain items of medicine or power that the shaman comes across such as bones, stones items, etc. that act as a good luck charm or a ward against “bad” entities, people, etc. This method was common among the Native Americans (Navajo, Sioux, Apache) as well as in parts of Asia (Taoist groups, and in Mongolia) and Africa. In several Native American societies as well as African ones medicine bags had a dark side to them as well. It was believed that not only could the medicine bag be used to preserve and enhance life but also cause curses and death or illness to an enemy and their surroundings. In Africa and parts of the Caribbean and South America this would be known as a juju bag.
Ritual Dagger- The dagger is used in shamanism to remove negative energies form a person place or thing. It is also used in exorcism rituals as well as purification ceremonies. A can be used to harness a spirit or destroy ghosts and even enhance weaken or destroy memories and other forms of psychic links.
Ritual Mask- The shaman’s ritual mast is seen in cultures all over the world. The masks would be made of dirt or clay but may include animal parts such as bones or feathers. The masks would sometimes carry forms of ritual markings on them. Originally the mask was used to connect with the world of the dead, that’s why it would be made of clay or mud. The mask was evolved to represent certain deities or animals over time. It’s believed by the modern shaman that wearing the mask brings certain aspects or abilities from the spirits or entities the mask represents into the ritual.
Drum- the drum is an instrument used by all shamans to connect with the earth and keep in tune with it’s frequency. The drum can be used to put people into trance like states or even into other worlds (ie world of the dead). It’s used to promote healing in every culture around the world The drum is used in many rituals (especially voodoo) as an aid in summoning spirits or earth deities.
Wheel of Life- they physical image of the wheel of life is highly elaborate and done in the design or a mandala, sand. The meaning to this wheel means birth, life, death and rebirth. It’s all part of the circle of life. The tradition and use of this is the meditation and understanding of life and it’s cycles. Could be a form of connection to the ghost world and enhancement to psychic energy.
Stonehenge- connects with the universe and it’s secrets of the earth and time. Rituals held nightly to honor the stars.
Medicine Wheel- Native American wheel design of the Plains Indians. Represented the growth of the tribe as a whole Each color held a lesson and a virtue to the tribe. Teaches that the shades of the universe only show parts and ways of the same thing. Healing ceremonies would typically be done in the presence of this circle or even vision questing.
| female druidism, | by Luxas for everyone |
Druidess, As a teacher in the lore of many an art, i can honestly say here was two types......
the one whom was the seeing eye, and
the one whom was the apprenticing student to the older mage/sage like druid "Master" (dedicate) as they was called...
both do rituals, but the seeing one was more valuable, the rituals very taxing on the spirit of the one taught, and even unto death could these women walk, and became in the later years "service" women to their own designs.....
(sorry my Oath as a Stone Druid) forbids me to say much more....

| A closed door but a message felt | by cadavi00 for everyone |
within,
seemingly untouchable to me, yet constantly calling to me. It's like
I'm standing at a door of some great treasure and I can feel it through
out me but no key found to unlock the door which contains it. I often
feel a message can't seem to touch it, an answer but can't seem to hear.
