Evocation of Amy - sequel


Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.

I guess today I've had the sign Amy promised...

Now Amy has one moon's time to deliver the real thing.

Love is the law, love under will.

Evocation of Amy


Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.

Tonight I decided to evoke the goetic Spirit Amy.

I had never worked with this Spirit before but, as I plan to study astrology, it seemed the logical thing to do in order to get a boost in my learning. Moreover, I wanted to chat with the Spirit regarding “treasures kept by Spirits.”

The decision to evoke this Spirit was some kind of “on the spot thing”, caused by an increasing frustration about some areas of learning and discovery.

The ritual was quite simple: I lit a candle and some incense in front of my Stele and of my HGA, then lit a candle and some incense in the triangle where the seal of Amy was. I had the seal of the Spirit and the usual pentagram of the flip side hanging from the neck, and the Hexagram of Solomon ready for use. I wasn’t in a very ritual mood tonight, so I worked skyclad and opted for a very simple form of evocation.

After Banishing with B&O and lighting candles and incense I stood in front of the Stele and uttered the Invocation of Kundalini from Liber LXV, then declared my Will to evoke Amy and do business with Him/Her.

As divinatory tools I had pendulum and Thoth Tarot.

After The Invocation of Kundalini I called Amy impromptu, then vibrated the name 8 times (Amy is a President, and the planet is Mercury).

The Spirit manifested rather soon, without lenghy calling and without any need for threatening. We communicated rather easily through the Tarot, with very positive cards showing up (The Star showed many times as an answer to my requests). One interesting thing: I’ve been using the pendulum for years, and I know how to make it swing clockwise, anti-clockwise ktl – every time I got a positive answer which was too good to be ture I tried to have the pendulum swing anti-clockwise (which in my system is a “no”), but it refused to. Uh. Nice…

Anyway, Amy agreed to help me with Astrology and eloquence (seems it’s in his/her field too), and promised to help me reach certain goals in a moon’s time, without harm to me or mine. We decided that tomorrow I’ll have to see a clear sign that He/She is working on my behalf, and devised a simpler methid of communication for future chats.

Then dismissal and banishing with B&O.

I’ll keep you posted about the results.

Love is the law, love under will.

What is Thelema Sorcery and why should I care?

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.

Welcome to the first post on the Thelema Sorcery blog. In this post I'd like to explain what Thelema Sorcery is and you should read it and comment on it. Thelema Sorcery is an experiment in sorcery based on my Thelemic faith and on the format of Thelemic ritual(s).
I am a thelemite, and I practice results-oriented magick (hence the term “sorcery”) in a Thelemic framework. At this point in my work I am entering certain areas of work for which I'd llike to have peer review, so I will post my methods, records of working and results: you can comment, give hints and, hopefully, enrich my (and maybe yours) perspective about what is being done and the efficacy of the magick involved.

The starting point is very simple: I think that “success is your proof” applies to both spiritual and material success, and I search a further developments of my work in BOTH AREAS.

Please note that my works is meant to be firmly rooted in the rituals of the Thelemic canon, whose adaptability has, in my humble opinion anyway, greatly overlooked and unimplemented. An example: I remember reading, years ago, an article in which the writer complained about magicians declaring themselves thelemites and then practicing “the same old boring Golden Dawn stuff” again and again; he then went on giving one of his “thelemic” rituals, which had no connection whatever to the formats one finds in the Thelemic canon apart for some names of Egyptian gods. Notwithstanding the fact that A LOT of the “same old boring Golden Dawn stuff” IS part of Thelemic Magick (just read Liber O and you'll see it for yourself), perhaps this guy thought he had gone beyond the rituals published and practiced by the Prophet. His likely next move could as well have been a fourth chapter of AL, or some new Class A text.
So expect to find a lot of pentagrams and hexagrans here, with many bonuses added.

Before the show starts, one last thing: even if you have the right to write as ye will, a few rules/suggestions could be useful.

A – Thelema Sorcery is about the technical sides of results-oriented magick, so please content yourselves with discussing the technical details of what I'll post.

B – Discussions on Thelemic philosophy are welcome, but please keep them to a minimum.

C – Discussions on magickal orders are NOT welcome. Rants about “my OTO is bigger/better/louder/hairier than your” or “you're not A.'.A.', I am” will most likely be deleted. I like such discussions now and then, and I have my own point of view on these matters, but please, this is about practical magick.

D – Please don't come telling me that what I'm doing is wrong if I post details of spells you see as un-Thelemic. If I do a spells it means I've thought a lot about it, seen all the sides of the issue involved and found proper justification by appeal to the writings of the Prophet. Read (or re-read) Liber 633. You can, however, suggest alternative points of view: I will take them into deep consideration... and then do my Will.

All for now, end of preliminary rant.

Love is the law, love under will.
