• “Octavia Butler on N_z_ Germany and Resistance Today”   by Tad Stoermer, Resistance Historian   https://youtu.be/Le-DiO4CwXg   “When Octavia Butler was writing “Parable of the Talents” — a novel set in 2032 about a far-right regime intent on making America great again — she needed to understand how fascism takes hold in a democratic society. So she went back to N_oz_ Germany.   But she didn’t study the N_oz_s. She studied the Germans.   As she wrote in 2000: “I was less interested in the fighting of World War II than in the prewar story of how Germany changed as it suffered social and economic problems, as H_tol_r and others bludgeoned and seduced, as the Germans responded to the bludgeoning and the seduction and to their own history, and as H_tol_r used that history to manipulate them.”   What she found was that resistance failed in Germany not because Germans were uniquely evil, but because they were trapped inside stories about themselves that made H_tol_r’s rise seem legitimate — even inevitable. The lies they already believed about their identity and their history made it almost impossible to see what was happening until it was too late.   “I wanted to understand the lies that people have to tell themselves when they either quietly or joyfully watch their neighbours maimed, spirited away, killed.”   Butler called her Parable books “cautionary tales”. When a student asked her what the answer was, she said: “There’s no single answer that will solve all of our future problems. There’s no magic bullet. Instead there are thousands of answers — at least. You can be one of them if you choose to be.”   And on studying history: “The past is filled with repeating cycles of strength and weakness, wisdom and stupidity, empire and ashes. To study history is to study humanity. And to try to foretell the future without studying history is like trying to learn to read without bothering to learn the alphabet.”   We are trying today to read fascism, authoritarianism, defiance, and resistance. So we need to learn the alphabet.”   Read her full essay:   “A Few Rules For Predicting The Future by Octavia E. Butler”   https://commongood.cc/reader/a-few-rules-for-predicting-the-future-by-octavia-e-butler/   

• “Where Are the Slave Ships? Exposing the Dangerous Lies of Pseudohistory”   by Tad Stoermer, Resistance Historian   https://youtu.be/BjVUSbwA-i8   “The question “Where are the ships?” is making rounds, and it’s not as innocent as it sounds. It’s a calculated tactic used by denialists like Dane Calloway to distort the history of the transatlantic slave trade, erase its victims, and sow chaos for clicks.   In this video, we take the pseudohistory head-on:   (1) Highlighting the overwhelming evidence, from SlaveVoyages.org to archaeological finds like the Clotilda;   (2) Explaining why no one should fall for the dangerous grift of “just asking questions”;   (3) Showing why honest history, grounded in rigorous research and evidence, is a shield against misinformation in this post-truth era.   We owe it to the tens of millions of enslaved people and their descendants to protect and preserve the truth. Let’s stop the noise and focus on what matters.”   

• “The Difference Between a Loyal Opposition and Resistance | A Dispatch from the High Castle”   by Tad Stoermer, Resistance Historian   https://youtu.be/eTZW-kSCV0s   “What’s the difference between a loyal opposition and resistance? And why does it matter right now?   A loyal opposition accepts the legitimacy of the system it works within. More than that - it reinforces it. Every time it plays by the rules, it signals that the rules are legitimate. Every time it treats its opponents as normal political adversaries, it confirms that normal politics is still happening. Every time it channels your energy into approved outlets - vote, donate, call your representative, wait for the next election - it tells you and everyone watching that those outlets still work.   That’s not a criticism. That’s what loyal oppositions do. They’re how normal politics functions. They provide accountability, they offer alternatives, they keep the system honest. When the system is basically sound, a loyal opposition is exactly what you want.   But resistance is something different. Resistance is what happens when the rules stop working - when legal channels fail, when institutions get captured, when the system itself becomes the source of abuse. Resistance doesn’t reinforce the structure. It operates against it.   In this video, I refer to the resistance dynamics at play in American history - from the New England patriots who spent a decade petitioning before Lexington, to the antislavery movement that worked within legal channels for seventy years before building the Underground Railroad.   The Democratic Party is a loyal opposition. That’s not cynicism - that's what the institution is designed to be. If you think the system is still basically sound and just needs better people running it, that might be enough for you.   But if you’re looking to them for resistance, you might be waiting a long time. And worse - you're going to be learning the wrong lessons about what resistance actually requires.   Confusing a loyal opposition with resistance isn’t just a mistake. It's fatal to any meaningful opposition.”   and    “Democrats say they can’t do anything because Republicans control Congress. Is that true?”   by Tad Stoermer, Resistance Historian   https://youtu.be/1PwmiG7ABl0   

• “Who's Afraid of Thomas Paine? Almost everyone, it turns out”   by Tad Stoermer, Resistance Historian   https://youtu.be/zfwsSZG1mw0   “Common Sense turned 250 this month. Everyone’s claiming him — John Roberts in his year-end judiciary report, Jamie Raskin pushing for a memorial on the Mall, Heritage Foundation posting about his “libertarian” vision.   None of them are giving you the real Paine. No one in power ever has.   Ten years ago I found a letter in an archive that changed how I came to understand how this worked. John Page, head of Virginia’s Committee of Safety and Jefferson’s best friend, described getting handed Common Sense on a Williamsburg street in January 1776. He took it (probably to the Raleigh Tavern) and edited it for Virginia readers. Cut the opening sections where Paine attacks inherited authority itself — where monarchy is sin, heredity is absurd, and legitimacy flows from reason and character rather than birth or accumulation. Kept the parts that made Britain look dangerous and expensive.   Why cut that? Because Paine’s logic didn’t stop at kings. If inherited advantage doesn’t confer the right to rule, the questions keep going. Virginia's enslaver patriots had built an entire ideological architecture to make bondage fit inside a philosophy of liberty. Paine’s reasoning threatened to unravel it. So Page made sure ordinary Virginians got the argument for secession without the reasoning that might make them ask what else it applied to.   They’ve been filtering him ever since. Used him when useful — Washington had The American Crisis read to troops before Trenton. Discarded him when not — he died a pariah in 1809, six people at his funeral.   Roberts quotes Paine while building legal architecture for executive immunity. Raskin wants a statue, which turns Paine into a destination, a closed question. Both are doing what Page did: picking which parts serve their purposes.   Franklin reportedly said, “Where liberty is, there is my country.” Paine answered: “Where liberty is not, there is mine.”   That’s not a quotation for a plaque. It’s a test.”

Remember: we generally need to be more human being rather than human doing, to mind our Mӕgan, and to acknowledge that all misgendering is an act of active transphobia/transmisia that puts trans+ lives at risk & accept that all insistence on the use of “trans” as a descriptor comes with commensurate use of “cis” as a descriptor to prevent “othering” (just as binary gendered [men’s and women’s] sporting teams are either both given the gender descriptor, or neither).

Post No. 915 - defensive bindrunes: The Sentinel

Recently, I started thinking about bindrunes which could be used as defence against psychic attack. In my usual fashion, I started thinking about this in terms of creating bindrunes for words - "words of power", in a sense.

My first word was around making sure the psychic attack didn't affect me - which is not about the protection aspect, as such, but about making sure one stayed oneself, and one of the key aims of psychic attack if generally to make one "not oneself", whether that is through illness, exhaustion, or direct attempts at control, or some other effect. I tossed around a few words, and the one which I eventually settled on was mӕgan,which I've posted about elsewhere, and was about maintaining one's core.

I then started to think about a word to protect oneself in a BPM manner - i.e., in a way that wouldn't cause collateral damage (e.g., by reflecting the energy without direction, or allowing it through oneself to continue on its merry way until it hits someone else), or by sending it back to the originator in a way that is malicious or vengeful, rather than dispassionate (and, as there is often a karmic origin to such psychic attack, bouncing it back in anger, hate, fear, rage or vengeance is only going to PROLONG the lesson, possibly to future lifetimes). I was considering a combination of "reflection" and "conscience" / "perspective", or possibly grounding, when I mentioned this to my friend RMftB (Rune Master from the Bush - also known as Tony in his day job and any other time he is hiding his runic super-power :) ).

RMftB did some thinking about this, and came up with a wonderful idea based on a combination of runes selected on the basis of their characteristics. RMftB came up with a combination of, at the simplest level, Othala, Mannaz / Mann, Laguz / Lagu, and Gar arranged into a stylised warrior with shield and weapon (the weapon started as a sword, but wound up looking more like an axe to me). After a bit of tweaking, this look like this:

With a very brief bit of discussion, we agreed this figure was a sentinel, and thus are referring to it as "The Sentinel".

Having done that, RMftB also started identifying the hidden runes, and developed this commentary to identify those and the relevant aspects of the included runes:

In the meantime, I got going with my colouring, and the final bindrune looks like this:

The weapon, represented by Lagu / Laguz, was selected with the thought of allowing energy to flow around or past: the col,our blue also has associations of flow, which helps that aspect, but any application of a "weapon" - or even defensive techniques - must be based on wisdom (to prevent collateral damage etc), and thus orange for wisdom has been added.


The body and legs are green for healing and grounding; the head is blue, for clear thought, and purple for (spiritual) insight; and the shield is purple for protection, with a dash of red for energy.

To use this, I would print it out and place it around my home, or carry it on me (e.g., in my purse), or draw the basic figure on myself using some sort of pen I am not allergic to, and easily removed in the event I find myself having an adverse reaction to it.

The design needs to be charged and activated: a good portion of this is done simply by doing the actions of printing, placing / drawing / etc with the INTENTION that it have the effect of being for protection of ... (insert name / description) , but that is also helped my doing an intentional ritual. An example of that could be adapting one of my New Moon rituals (e.g., here) by replacing the core with visualisation of energy flowing into The Sentinel, and asking BPM forces to charge and activate it. Another example would be to use my adaptation of the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram to invoke a suitable Sephirah - perhaps Kether (for spiritual perspective above all else), Chockmah (for wisdom), Hod (for magick), Yesod (for work on the subconscious level), Chesed (for an emphasis on compassion), or Geburah (for an emphasis on fierce defence), or Tipereth (for an emphasis on staying balanced); which one is selected depends on the context and the type of attack.

When finished with the ritual, don't forget to close oneself down, close the circle, and ground and release all excess energy. The closing prayer I typically use for this is:

We ask that our auras be cleansed, cleared and closed. We ask that we be assisted to close down and to centre ourselves, grounding and releasing all excess energy whilst doing so. We ask that the pyramid be cleansed and cleared in all times, dimensions, realities, levels and spaces. We ask that all positive links, skills, outcomes and other things be strengthened. We ask that the circle be cleansed, cleared and closed, but that the protection, healing and guidance continue for the Highest Spiritual Good.

So mote it be.

(My usual routine protection prayer is in my signature block.)

I apologise for publishing these posts twice, but Blogger keeps changing my formatting. I can either publish it and then correct it, or save and close the post and correct it when I reopen it, but that leaves an extra copy in my "drafts" folder ...

I am revamping my former website, and getting at least one other underway (pronounced "new-MYTH-ear"; ... aka Bellatrix Lux … aka Morinehtar … would-be drýicgan or maga ... )

My "blogiography" (list of all posts and guide as to how to best use this site) is here, and my glossary/index is here. The reasons for my caution when using Wikipedia are here.

I started this blog to cover karmic regression-rescue (see here and here), and it grew ... See here for my group mind project, here and here for my "Pagans for Peace" project (and join me for a few minutes at some time between 8 and 11 PM on Sunday, wherever you are, to meditate-clear for peace), and here for my bindrune kit-bag. I also strongly recommend learning how to flame, ground and shield, do alternate nostril breathing, work with colour, and see also here and be flexible. 

May the best in me, my Higher Self,
and those of the Clear Light who assist me,
help me to keep myself grounded, centred and shielded,
to be Balanced and a Fulcrum of Balance,
a centre of Balanced Positivity and Spiritual Maturity,
with my aura continuously cleansed, cleared and closed,
repelling all negative or unwanted energies,
whilst allowing positive, balancing and healing energies in and through.

The real dividing line is not between Christianity and Islam, Sunni and Shia, East and West. It is between people who believe in coexistence, and those who don’t.

Post No. 803 - an update on the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram

I've posted about this previously, including a so-called "Egyptian" version, and, in this post, some information on how to draw pentagrams (the diagram below, from that post, shows the banishing sequence: for invoking, I start at the top and keep working clockwise).

 I've subsequently added elements from my study via the Open Source Order of the (mystical) Golden Dawn (OSOGD) and of working with elements generally: you need to read what the OSOGD has to say about this ritual and the referenced signs (here, here and here) before trying to use them (and others as well - for instance, here, here, here, here, here, etc).

The ritual I now use has the following broad steps (for the Southern Hemisphere):

(1) BANISHING

1.1 Qabbalistic Cross
1.2 pentagrams to the Quarters
1.3 invoke Archangels

(2) INVOKING

2.1 Qabbalistic Cross
2.2 pentagrams to the Quarters
2.3 invoke Archangels

RITUAL PHASE (1) - BANISHING
based on the LESSER BANISHING RITUAL OF THE PENTAGRAM (see also here), and the QABBALISTIC CROSS

1.1 Qabbalistic Cross

1.1 (a) Touch forehead, vibrate "AH – TEY"
1.1 (b) Point downwards, vibrate "MAHL – KOOTH"
1.1 (c) Touch right shoulder, vibrate "VE – G’BOO – RAH"
1.1 (d) Touch left shoulder, vibrate "VE – G’DOO – LAH"
1.1 (e) Fold hands at chest, vibrate "LIH – OH – LAH – MEN"

1.2 pentagrams to the Quarters

1.2 (a) Go to or face east,
- draw pentagram (starting at lower left and going clockwise - the first line is as if "throwing mucky stuff up to heaven to be got rid of"),
- then touch the centre of the pentagram, and simultaneously vibrate "AH – DOH – NYE" to activate the pentagram
- visualise the following writing (Hebrew AShRH, or Asherah), then make the "Sign of the Enterer", then the "Sign of Silence" (see here, about half way down):

- draw the sigil of the Lord of Air to seal the work in this Quarter:

1.2 (b) Carry line to or face north,
- draw pentagram (starting at lower left leg and going clockwise),
- touch the centre of the pentagram, and simultaneously vibrate "AH – DOH – NYE" to activate the pentagram
- visualise the following writing (Hebrew ADNI, or Adonai), then make the "Sign of the Enterer", then the "Sign of Silence" (see here, about half way down):

- draw the sigil of the Lord of Fire to seal the work in this Quarter:

1.2 (c) Carry line to or face west,
- draw pentagram (starting at lower left leg and going clockwise),
- touch the centre of the pentagram, and simultaneously vibrate "AH – DOH – NYE" to activate the pentagram
- visualise the following writing (Hebrew EHIH, or Eheih), then make the "Sign of the Enterer", then the "Sign of Silence" (see here, about half way down):

- draw the sigil of the Lord of Water to seal the work in this Quarter:

1.2 (d) Carry line to or face south,
- draw pentagram (starting at lower left leg and going clockwise),
- touch the centre of the pentagram, and simultaneously vibrate "AH – DOH – NYE" to activate the pentagram
- visualise the following writing (Hebrew AGLA, which is an abbreviation for Ateh Gibor Leolahm Adonai, or, in English, To Thee be the Power unto the Ages, O my Lord), then make the "Sign of the Enterer", then the "Sign of Silence" (see here, about half way down):

- draw the sigil of the Lord of Earth to seal the work in this Quarter:

1.2 (e) Carry line to or face east completing circle and return to centre.
If I wish to be sure of the protection, I will then repeat the pentagram, thinking of this as "locking" the circle.

1.3 invoke Archangels

1.3 (a) Stand with arms outstretched,
- then visualise a great beam of bright light coming down from above, and passing through the vertical axis of your body, followed by a great beam of bright light from the side (I generally use the right side as the source) and passing through the heart, thus creating a great cross of light;

1.3 (b) Then say the following as do the visualisations of the Archangels, facing OUTWARDS:

• "BEFORE ME RAPHAEL,"
  (visualise the Archangel as a young male, dressed in golden colours, and holding a sword up)
• "ON MY LEFT MICHAEL,"
  (visualise the Archangel as a mature male, dressed in red colours, and holding a spear)
• "BEHIND ME GABRAEL,"
  (visualise the Archangel as a young woman, dressed in autumnal colours [I use brown, yellow and red], and holding a cup)
• "ON MY RIGHT AURIEL,"
  (visualise the archangel as a mature woman, dressed in earthy colours [I use green and brown], and holding a shield)
• "FOR ABOUT ME ARE THE FLAMES OF HEAVEN,
  "AND ABOVE ME IS THE LIGHT OF HEAVEN."

RITUAL PHASE (2) - INVOKING
based on the LESSER BANISHING RITUAL OF THE PENTAGRAM (see also here), and the QABBALISTIC CROSS.

This is based on invoking the sphere "Kether". To invoke other Spheres, substitute the name with either the name of the Sphere you wish to invoke (in fact, I frequently do that, and say "Keth-her" rather than use the God name), or the relevant God name.

2.1 Qabbalistic Cross

2.1 (a) Touch forehead, vibrate "AH – TAH"
2.1 (b) Point downwards, vibrate "MAHL – KOOTH"
2.1 (c) Touch right shoulder, vibrate "VE – G’BOO – RAH"
2.1 (d) Touch left shoulder, vibrate "VE – G’DOO – LAH"1.1e Fold hands at chest, vibrate "LIH – OH – LAH – MEN"

2.2 pentagrams to the Quarters

2.2 (a) Go to or face east,
- draw pentagram (starting at top and going anticlockwise - the first line is as if "drawing the blessings of heaven downwards"),
- then touch the centre of the pentagram, and simultaneously vibrate "EH – HEY – EE – AH" to activate the pentagram
- visualise the following writing (Hebrew AShRH, or Asherah), then make the "Sign of the Enterer", then the "Sign of Silence" (see here, about half way down):

 - draw the sigil of the Lord of Air to seal the work in this Quarter:

2.2 (b) Carry line to or face north,
- draw pentagram (starting at top and going anticlockwise ),
- touch the centre of the pentagram, and simultaneously vibrate "EH – HEY – EE – AH" to activate the pentagram
- visualise the following writing (Hebrew ADNI, or Adonai), then make the "Sign of the Enterer", then the "Sign of Silence" (see here, about half way down):

- draw the sigil of the Lord of Fire to seal the work in this Quarter:

2.2 (c) Carry line to or face west,
- draw pentagram (starting at top and going anticlockwise ),
- touch the centre of the pentagram, and simultaneously vibrate "EH – HEY – EE – AH" to activate the pentagram
- visualise the following writing (Hebrew EHIH, or Eheih), then make the "Sign of the Enterer", then the "Sign of Silence" (see here, about half way down):

- draw the sigil of the Lord of Water to seal the work in this Quarter:

2.2 (d) Carry line to or face south,
- draw pentagram (starting at top and going anticlockwise ),
- touch the centre of the pentagram, and simultaneously vibrate "EH – HEY – EE – AH" to activate the pentagram
- visualise the following writing (Hebrew AGLA, which is an abbreviation for Ateh Gibor Leolahm Adonai, or, in English, To Thee be the Power unto the Ages, O my Lord), then make the "Sign of the Enterer", then the "Sign of Silence" (see here, about half way down):

- draw the sigil of the Lord of Earth to seal the work in this Quarter:

2.2 (e) Carry line to or face east completing circle and return to centre.
If I wish to be sure of the protection, I will then repeat the pentagram, thinking of this as "locking" the circle.

2.3 invoke Archangels

2.3 (a) Stand with arms outstretched,
- then visualise a great beam of bright light coming down from above, and passing through the vertical axis of your body, followed by a great beam of bright light from the side (i generally use the right side as the source) and passing through the heart, thus creating a great cross of light;

2.3 (b) Then say the following as do the visualisations of the Archangels, facing INWARDS:

• "BEFORE ME RAPHAEL,"(visualise the Archangel as a young male, dressed in golden colours, and holding a sword up)
• "ON MY LEFT MICHAEL,"(visualise the Archangel as a mature male, dressed in red colours, and holding a spear)
• "BEHIND ME GABRAEL,"(visualise the Archangel as a young woman, dressed in autumnal colours [I use brown, yellow and red], and holding a cup)
• "ON MY RIGHT AURIEL,"(visualise the archangel as a mature woman, dressed in earthy colours [I use green and brown], and holding a shield)

• "FOR ABOUT ME ARE THE FLAMES OF HEAVEN,""AND ABOVE ME IS THE LIGHT OF HEAVEN."

I have a single diagram that I have summarised what are, at the present, the key aspects of this for me (from which some of the above diagrams came from):

(I use an ankh as the sigil for Aether.)


For the sake of completeness of this post, I am also going to add the revised (short version) daily protection prayer I use:

May the best in me, my Higher Self,

and those of the Clear Light who assist me,

help me to keep myself grounded, centred and shielded,

to be Balanced and a Fulcrum of Balance,

a centre of Balanced Positivity and Spiritual Maturity,

with my aura continuously cleansed, cleared and closed,

repelling all negative or unwanted energies,

whilst allowing positive, balancing and healing energies through.

and the opening and closing prayers I use:

May the Goddess guide, nurture, protect and heal all of us present here, whatever our form, existence or purpose for coming here may be.
We ask that the assistance be both within and without ourselves:

• within, by increasing our spiritual strengths and our love, and by reducing our weaknesses;
• without, through the assistance of our and other Balanced Positive Spiritual Force Guides and helpers, our Higher Selves, the Ancestors and by being connected to positive energy centres.

We ask that the protection without include a Pyramid of Light about this place, existing in all dimensions. We ask that our Pyramid be kept continuously clear of all negative or discordant units, and free of all outside negative influences.
May this prayer, and everything that is done, thought or said by anyone present or connected to here in any way, be only for the Highest Spiritual Good. As a sign of our commitment to this request, we ask that all that we intentionally do to others be done immediately to us, so that we may know no harm is being done.
So mote it be.

closing prayer:

We ask that our auras be cleansed, cleared and closed. We ask that we be assisted to close down and to centre ourselves, grounding and releasing all excess energy in doing so. We ask that the pyramid be cleansed and cleared in all times, dimensions, realities, levels and spaces. We ask that all positive links, skills outcomes and other things be strengthened. We ask that the circle be cleansed, cleared and closed, but that the protection, healing and guidance continue for the Highest Spiritual Good.
So mote it be.

and the following variations of the "Dharma Wrapper" and "Dedication of Merit" exercises of the OSOGD that I have posted about previously:

• Asking for Help
  With your eyes open, visualize the rune Wunjo * (for its connection to spiritual ecstasy) at your heart, take a deep breath and sound the rune’s name, long and strong (mentally, if you cannot do so out aloud), letting the vibration centre on the image of the rune and radiating gold light in all directions, carrying your desire to be of service for this meditation. While sounding and visualising, imagine all beings that have vowed to help you, your Patron Deities, BPLF Guides, and your Higher Self, in the space all around you … and all those who are also doing this work. Imagine that they hear you, and turn to face you.
  Receiving Help
  Close your eyes and take another deep breath. Do another long chant of Wunjo and visualise yourself all the other beings present have a golden Wunjo light up at their heart chakras, as they join your chant and radiate golden light at you (and anyone you are working with). This light fills up your body with “all good things” and pushes out “all bad things”.
  Sharing Help
  Having been purified and empowered by the blessing of these beings take a deep breath and open your eyes. Do another long chant of Wunjo and visualise yourself all the other beings present have a golden Wunjo light up at their heart chakras, as they join your chant and radiate golden light outwards in all directions.
• May the benefit of this act and all acts
  Be dedicated to the Spiritual Maturity, Balanced Positivity and Supreme Enlightenment
  Of all Beings everywhere, throughout Space and Time.
  
  May the benefits of practice, mine, ours and others,
  Come to fruition, Ultimately and Immediately,
  And we remain in the State of Presence.
  
  So Mote It Be.

May you find this useful, and may I find it in my future incarnations :)

[2] Please see here, here, here and my post "The Death of Wikipedia" for the reasons I now recommend caution when using Wikipedia. I'm also exploring use of h2g2, although that doesn't appear to be as extensive (h2g2 is intended - rather engagingly - to be the Earth edition of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy").

[3] I apologise for the formatting: it seems Blogger is no longer as WYSIWYG as it used to be, and there are a lot of unwanted changes to layout made upon publishing, so I often have to edit it immediately after publishing to get the format as close to what I want as possible.
