  6. The thing about geometry is that it has postulates. Symbols and their relationships imply rules and formulas. So, when you combine magical symbols with geometry, it implies a relationship, rules, and postulates. It really frustrates me when people circumscribe magical ciphers and words within geometric figures where there are no underlying axioms, postulates, or theorems.

    Combining magical symbols with geometry without any type of postulate that you can prove makes the entire thing pointless. What is the relationship between that magical symbol and that angle? That is a 45-degree angle. What relationship does that angle have with that magical symbol that denotes a magical entity? I can’t look at most magicians’ magical seals without cringing. They never provide formulas or explain why they used those formulas. The lack of structure undermines the potential significance or effectiveness of the magical practice if the magical system is predicated on structure.

    It irks me even more when the seal has arbitrary or random planetary or zodiac symbols that have nothing to do with the geometry and angles of what those symbols denote. If you are going to use geometry in your magic, then it should have logical rules and principles and a connection to the geometry. The complex magical seals are pretty, but they mean absolutely nothing. I would rather have their fictional narrative, i.e., a mythology.

    Mathematics is a symbolic language. While it is a precise language, it is a language nonetheless, so it tells a story. When you are working on an intuitive level where precision is not needed, everyday language like this will suffice, where a visual representation can be basic glyphs. Storytelling is a more intuitive and engaging approach to understanding mystical concepts compared to the opaque and cryptic symbolism of complex magical seals. The effort in appearing to be legitimate without being legitimate irks me when a basic story and illustration will suffice.

  7. Regarding the phenomenology of purely psychic or magical influences, when you think about someone, your mind shapes itself into a representation of that person, and in order to maximize rapport, sympathy, resonance, or decrease the distance between you and that person, there has to be an accurate representation. Your mind becomes more and more like that of the person you are trying to influence as you approach that person on a psychic plane.

    We can locate things in space and time by going to the space where it is at and the time where it is at and interacting with it. How do you find a non-physical, psychic entity, such as a concept? We locate these entities through symbols. Symbols point to concepts. In this case, your mind makes itself that symbol. The connection between the symbol and the concept is reinforced through redundancy. The more similar your mind is to that other person, the stronger the connection between your intent and that person. I can typically intuit whether a person is psychic or magical by the degree and clarity I can sense them. The clearer they are to me, the more similar we are.

    So, when you seek to influence a person, you open yourself up to that same influence. Magic is not a one-way thing because it is predicated on your intention, and your intention is connected to you, and is your mind using itself as a symbol and mediator. Your mind is the gateway and the mediator for magic. Everything has an inverse or a negation. If you are seeking to influence someone else per your will, then the inverse is them influencing you via their will. In the same way that every integer has an additive inverse, there is an inverse with this and by creating that object, you create a possible inverse.

    Psychokinesis and the Manipulation of Probability

    I was born with psychokinetic abilities more archetypal of science fiction than occultism. Many people do not understand how psychokinesis works. Probability, in the sense of luck, doesn’t actually exist. In statistical mechanics, probability corresponds to the frequency of occurrence of an event, often represented as a histogram. This probabilistic frequency is related to processes like absorption and emission of heat. Temperature, in the context of statistical mechanics, is associated with scalar quantities such as speed (the magnitude of velocity) and momentum (the product of mass and velocity). These are the statistical properties that a spell or psychokinesis influences, rather than luck. They are influencing kinetic properties with their intention, i.e., psychokinesis.

    Chthonic Infernal Powers

    Heat is disordered mechanical and rotational energy, so by manipulating disorder, entropy, and randomness, one is manipulating heat. As someone who exemplifies Chthonic, demonic, and draconic entities, I like to think of my psychokinesis and sorcerous abilities as a lower-dimensional manifestation of infernal powers. Influencing probabilities is a lower-dimensional manifestation of the iconic fire breath of a dragon or the fire powers of demons. It’s a lower-dimensional physical projection of the astral dragon’s fire breath. Astrologically, I am an Earth Dragon. This type of serpentine dragon is known as a Long, which is a wyrm similar to a Leviathan. Of course, this is a mythological narrative; however, it is a convenient abstraction and metaphor that encapsulates the connection among sorcery, psychokinesis, order, and statistical mechanical properties. As someone that is satanic, it also fits my spiritual beliefs, too. I am not an adept; instead, I am the serpent in the garden of Eden.

    The Blurring of Boundaries

    When you manipulate a probability, you are effectively determining the outcome or direction of things. On a smaller scale, you are influencing the oscillation of matter to perturb it. When a spell changes the odds of something happening, it is effectively organizing disorder, mechanical, and rotational energy – that is, heat – in a way that serves the practitioner’s desired outcome by creating a coordination of energy and matter. This might appear rather mechanical, but it isn’t. There is a psychic component to it.

    When I influence the movement of a candle flame or light a candle, I become that candle flame. My psychokinesis is an abstraction of clairvoyance and psychokinesis, which is why I have a hard time simply sensing the future with a precognitive application of clairvoyance. I explain that here: Influencing the Future, One Wave at a Time.

    Through verification and feedback, I can tell there is a veridical connection between that gestalt and fire. So, my mind is accurately shaping itself into the representation of fire, so in a sense, there is an aspect of me that is fire. Whenever I want to influence a candle flame or light a candle, I evoke that gestalt. There is a connection between me and the candle such that there is a blurring between me and the candle. I become the candle and that part of me becomes the candle flame. When you influence something with magic or psychic abilities, that illusion of separation disappears.

    Gestalts and Ideograms in Remote Viewing

    My consciousness will sense a candle flame in the other room clairvoyantly and will encode that noetic knowledge as a gestalt, an ideogram, into my internal schema. I can recognize that I am psychically sensing fire because of how it’s stored in the schema of my consciousness. I employ a similar system of gestalts that you might find in Controlled Remote Viewing (CRV), although I’ve developed my own model and templates. The sigils and magical languages I create and use denote those gestalts and act as ideograms. Gestalts are used differently in Parapsychological paradigms than in general Psychology.

    “The word “gestalt” is not a remote viewing term, even though that is the place you will hear it most. It is, in fact, a psychological term which means the basic conceptual quality or basic aspect of any one thing. For example, “dew”, “lake”, “ocean”, “sweat”, “rain”, “ice”, etc., all have the gestalt of “water”. If you were to add “gasoline”, “bleach”, and “oil” to that list, the basic gestalt would be “liquid”.

    Remote viewing starts off with the viewer getting the basic gestalts of the site, and then taking each gestalt individually and describing its individual qualities. So, a session might begin with the viewing finding that the target has the basic gestalts of “land”, “water”, and “manmade”. The second step or stage in the remote viewing process is to first give an actual description of the “land” at the site, then the “water” aspect of it, and then describe the “manmade” aspect of the target. In this way, a picture of the target builds up in a pollution-free environment.

    One way of understanding the word, “gestalt” is to say that it is the “—iness” of the target. That is, “the target has water-iness, land-iness, and manmade-iness to it.”
    Lyn Buchanan

    “Definitions:

    Major Gestalt: The overall impression presented by all elements of the site taken for their composite interactive meaning. The one concept that more than all others would be the best description of the site.

    Ideogram: The “I” component of the I/A/B sequence. The ideogram is the spontaneous graphic representation of the major gestalt, manifested by the motion of the viewer’s pen on paper, which motion is produced by the impingement of the signal line on the autonomic nervous system and the reflexive transmission of the resultant nervous energy to the muscles of the viewer’s hand and arm. The objectified ideogram has no “scale;” that is, the size of the ideogram relative to the paper seems to have no relevance to the actual size of any component at the site.

    “A” Component: The “feeling/motion” component of the ideogram. The “feeling/motion” is essentially the impression of the physical consistency (hard, soft, solid, fluid, gaseous, etc.) and contour/shape/motion of the site. For example, the monitor has selected, unknown to the viewer, a mountain as the trainee’s site. At the iteration of the coordinate, the trainee produces an appropriate ideogram, and responds verbally, at the same time as he writes it: “Rising up, peak, down.” This is the “motion” sensation he experienced as his pen produced the ideogram. He then says “solid,” having experienced the site as being solid as opposed to fluid or airy. This is the “feeling” component of the Stage 1 process. There are at least five possible types of feelings: solidity, liquidity, energetic, airiness (that is, where there is more air space than anything else, such as some suspension bridges might manifest), and temperature. Other feeling descriptors are possible, but encountered only in rare circumstances and connected with unusual sites. These components and how they are expressed in structure will be discussed more fully below. Though in discussions of theory this aspect is usually address as “feeling/motion,” it will normally be the case in actual session work that the motion aspect is decoded first with the feeling portion coming second.”

    CRV Stage 1–Coordinate (“Controlled”) Remote Viewing Manual

    I do know of a few chaos magicians – one in particular – who have taken Remote Viewing courses. They use gestalts and ideograms as the foundation for sigils, which they then enhance using editing programs like Gimp. The more experienced members of chaos magical orders will incorporate geographic coordinates and RV gestalts into the image layers of Gimp for sigils intended for group workings directed at a particular place or institution. I have witnessed one of these bizarre workings on Discord.

    Whatever you seek to create, you have to become to actualize that thing, so if you seek to create a negative, horrific future, you become horrific. You are what you cast.

  8. People are not as mystically, magically, or psychically disconnected as we think they are. Magic that you can interact with is not like a ‘set it and forget it’ thing. It stays associated with you per your potential to interact with it. I’m seeing many people who have the wrong idea about servitors…

    Locality can be interchanged with causality in a lot of cases, so we can say entities are connected if they can cause a change in each other. For example, if I throw a ball at someone, there is a scalar of speed and a vector of velocity that carries the ball through the air and hits them in the head; thereby causing a change in their state. If I threw a ball at a person from my house, and they were on the other side of the world, the ball would hit the wall and not them. There is no connection because they are not local. Systems are connected on some level if they can cause a change.

    The above example is ephemeral because there is no prolonged connection beyond those moments. Magic is more persistent because a person can interact with a spell they’ve cast or an entity they are interacting with per intent. If you create a spell, servitor, etc., and you can interact with the spell or the servitor, you’re still connected. If you can control a servitor, you are still connected; therefore, the servitor is a part of you. Since the servitor is connected to you via causal relationships, that servitor you created can exert an influence backward on you. What does that mean? That means if you set a servitor after someone and can control that servitor, there is a locality between that person, the servitor, and your mind, so a magician can get into your head or influence the servitor to influence you via that open channel. You can cut by cutting the connection to the servitor; however, that implies you can’t control the entity. It’s fully autonomous. If you cut off your hand, your hand is not a part of you; however, you can’t move that hand anymore. Your ability to exert a causal influence on something implies you are in that thing’s locality and that there exists a potential inverse where you can be pushed back on and influenced. Spells connect things, and servitors are persistent daemons. You are disconnected from a system, network, or entity if there is no potential causal relationship to imply a local connection.

    We can think of the psychic plane as having systems of connected concepts and experiences. Personally, I am skeptical of the realism of astrology and astral planes, so I believe that any celestial metaphor or analogy should have some support. We can point to an area that is a cluster of hateful concepts and experiences and we can say that the influence of those clusters is the dominant force for that domain. We say that things are in a solar system based on something called a hill sphere.

    The Hill sphere is a concept in celestial mechanics that defines a region around a celestial body (like a planet or a moon) within which its gravitational influence dominates over the gravitational influence of another body. We can simulate a psychic analogy via Graph Theory and force-drawing algorithms like Force Atlas. That will render something that looks like a semantic constellation. In this, there is an attractive force on connecting nodes after a random repulsive force is exerted on every node on the graph. The forces acting on each node are continuously recalculated based on their positions and the strengths of connections (edges) between them. This iterative process continues until the forces reach equilibrium, meaning that the nodes settle into stable positions where the forces balance out. With this, we can see a clustering of concepts, archetypes, patterns, experiences, etc via associativity and their correspondences. Within clusters formed by the Force Atlas algorithm, certain nodes may emerge as more central or influential than others. These central nodes often have higher degrees of connectivity within their respective clusters, meaning they are more strongly connected to other nodes in the cluster. Nodes with higher connectivity within a cluster are akin to bodies with larger hill spheres in celestial mechanics because they exert greater influence over the surrounding nodes within their cluster. So, there is a weak analogical connection between psychic bodies hill spheres in celestial bodies.

    While we are physically in the same place, when people engage with psychic planes, a part of them is moving within those domains where there is an implicit influence. Mass is a property that resists acceleration, so we can think of a psychic analogy as what we will or will not do. If you are psychically being displaced as you move towards a domain that exerts a greater influence, you are accelerating towards that thing which implies there is an inverse relationship between the influence of your will and that body. You are paying for your magic through sacrificing bits of yourself, in other words, which includes your sanity.

  9. You know… after being involved in occultism since I was 10, weird has gotten… well, boring. All occultists seem to be the same, and many of the ones I knew in high school are still exactly like they were in high school. Weird is so normalized, it’s, well… normal. I’m bored to tears with occultism. Like, so fucking bored with it. If I see another faux magic cipher that feels like a cipher but is really someone who got high during a ritual and just sketched out their trip, magical sigils created through Austin Spare’s substitution technique inside a circle with Theban or the Malachim language around that circle or any other basic ass geometric shape on a page with bones and skeletons, I will fucking scream. My first formal grimoire that I kept in high school had scripts written in the Malachim alphabet. That was high school! The runes of Elder Futhark always felt dissonant and ominous to me, so I never messed with that. I only use systems that are resonant with me, which, at the moment, are systems I’ve created myself.

    It’s like, “Oh, another deer skull mask. Oh, another basic ass monoalphabetic cipher that’s not even a polyalphabetic cipher just because it looks spooky.” By the way, any system of sigils that’s a monoalphabetic cipher is basically ASCII. The sigils these people create aren’t even comprehensive ideograms to capture the basic contours of the experience, so they are mystically useless, and they pretty much imitate the grapheme of the English alphabet.

    These completely normal, mediocre people honestly believe they are edgy and weird. They’re boring. They are not innovating or transforming anything. They are just churning out things typical of that genre. They are living memes. I’m so fucking bored looking at occultists’ work nowadays.

  10. So, after witnessing many of my enemies’ lives falling apart, I assumed they were trying to cast spells on me. If you know, you know. I examined our house wards and discovered that my husband made a modification to give the protective measures a rather nasty retaliatory bite.

    So, I went on a hunt and found what my husband did. My husband has no chill, so I feel sorry for those who got hit with what he put in there. It was a sympathetic and contagious magical measure that I taught him. You create an effigy of yourself with things like your hair and fingernail clippings so that it intercepts curses. Then you place it in a box with hemlock, nightshade, and items such as a consecrated and enchanted mirror. Yes, there was actual belladonna in the spell box.

    It acts like a lightning rod for a curse, draws the curse away from you, and activates a counter-curse that draws on the sympathetic property of hemlock and nightshade. Sympathetic magic works via like interacts with and attracts like, so since curses, poison, and hemlock have like properties of causing harm, they interact via that association. The same goes for the mirror.

    Contagious aspects of magic are similar to entanglement. The idea is that once things come in contact with each other, they are connected such that one can influence the other. With things that were a part of you that are separated, the ‘entanglement’ is so strong that, in some cases, it can act as a substitution for you; therefore, a curse that uses your image will be drawn to that image, i.e., effigy.

    My husband seems to have attached paper talismans that evoke Saturn, indicating that he wanted the curse to disrupt their lives by placing never-ending problems in their path. He didn’t tell me, of course, because he knew I would object. If you folks are reading this, that shall teach you. While I won’t curse you, people in my life that love me might not be so forgiving.

  11. You know, I give mentally ill people a lot of grace; however, that grace ends when you are aware that what you are doing is immoral. Empirically, immoral behavior is associated with antisocial behavior and behavior where you benefit at someone else’s expense. Antisocial behavior is not introversion. Can I be antisocial? Yes, I can be. I am not a saint. I am often a devil; however, I make no excuse for it, and I try to isolate myself away from negative influences.

    The issue I have with many DKMU members is they have effectively given up trying to improve as people. They have decided. I’m not going to name any names, but I saw a DKMU member on Bluesky try to rationalize their parasocial and antagonistic behavior by calling themselves a goblin and then naming it gleeful screeching. They were rationalizing their mentally ill behavior and doubling down instead of regulating themselves or asking for psychiatric intervention. I have seen this person try to form a parasocial relationship with a crow, so they are deeply ill. If you know, you know. She’s aware that what she is doing is wrong; however, she has decided to do the wrong thing, anyway, and she is rationalizing her bad behavior.

    Karma is just a metaphysical abstraction of cause and effect, i.e., consequences. There are, and have been, consequences to her behavior that this person is feeling on a medical level; however, they still, of their own free will, choose to do the wrong, unhealthy things knowingly.

    She, and a lot of members of DKMU, have given up living. They have given up progressing. They’ve decided to live in a miserable, nihilistic, antagonistic space. That is the last I will speak on this person because I find them to be very sad. It is deeply depressing watching them destroy themselves because they have given up living.

  12. Honestly, the attitude within occultism is maddening to me. There’s an acknowledgment that Jung, Crowley, Blavatsky, etc. are all horrible people. You don’t have to convince them that they are awful and racists. We all know. However, most occultists can’t be bothered to come up with anything better, so their response is to use broken systems that do not work and tell people to separate the art from the artists and to normalize the evil, immoral behavior of occult authors because, well, they like the status quo.

    There’s always been this assumption with sigils and seals in occultism that they are allegories; astrology should be treated as a pattern that isn’t necessarily literal. If magic shifts probabilities, then that means that magic creates topological defects and breaks symmetries, which means that it has an empirical connection to crystallization. And when we are looking at ontological and mathematical models that strongly model crystallization and symmetry, we find tiling and tessellation. I’m experimenting with tessellation, symmetry, magic, and psychic abilities. Honestly, I am through with the culture and aesthetics of occultism, so I am not using anything that resembles occult sigils or even calling mnemonic symbols or any kind of symbol a sigil anymore. Occultism, as a whole, gives me the ick. Occult systems make me feel so dirty that I feel like I need a bath.

    Liminal space is a buzzword that you hear a lot. A liminal space is something like a hallway or the threshold of a door. We can also think of liminal spaces as portals and topological defects, which is an accurate analogy for the symmetry-breaking that magic causes in physical systems. I am thinking of symbols that are more accurate of a topological defect, such as a phase transition. Because of meta-stability, liquid crystals are sensitive to psychic influence and exhibit topological defects via phase transition, so models and symbols based on liquid crystals are realistic for phase transitions that liminal spaces imply.

    A physical example of a topological defect is liquid crystals. I like playing around with crystallization and psychic and magical acts because it provides an empirical case. Probabilities are not abstract. Whenever you influence probabilities, you are manipulating where something is going and how fast it is moving, or you are defining where it is. If you are dealing with a system, you are coordinating how fast things are, where they are going, and where they are at for multiple parts of that system. You are shifting statistical mechanical properties of a solution. The shape and structure of a crystal are tied to the probability of that crystal structure emerging, so shifting probabilities shifts the shape of the crystal that we expect to get, which we can experimentally test and measure. Boltzmann distribution, a fundamental concept in statistical mechanics, describes the probability of a molecule occupying a certain energy state. In the context of a crystal lattice, different molecular arrangements correspond to different energy states and when you shift probabilities, you shift where that favorable energy state is likely to be.

    An exercise that I did a long, long time ago is that I constructed a class, to act as an archetype, and properties of that class were a data structure imported from an actual social network from Twitter that matched the parameters of the properties of that class. That was before Twitter became X. I would not dare use anything from that domain of the noetic sphere now. I used Gephi for this. I used the Force Atlas 2 layout in Gephi to simulate attraction and repulsion forces via a Barnes–Hut algorithm. The algorithm uses an adaptive cooling strategy similar to annealing. This gave me a network that was also a crystal. I then dissolved a solute into a solution and grew a crystal where my intent was to link to the psychic form of that pattern, project the simulated crystal onto the growing crystal, and measure the structure of the crystal. That exercise created a magical, symbolic construct that was not only realistic but also empirically valid. I am thinking about using tessellation, tiling, and symmetry to denote magical systems instead of employing anything that resembles occult symbols.

  13. I’ve been keeping tabs on the workings DKMU is doing. It seems like a lot of them are performing rituals for their godform, Trigag.

    I am real; however, a person’s perception of me, the model of me they have created in their heads, and the symbolic representations of me they have created are extensions and an instance of me in their minds. The image of me is separate from me as a real person independent of their minds. I view invocations and evocations in the same way. Whether these entities have their own independent identity or not, I do not think magicians are working with. If a person were to have a dream with psychoanalytical significance and I was a character in that dream, it is not actually me. It is their mind using itself to represent me to represent something. It’s a symbolic masquerade.

    I honestly don’t even think members of DKMU are working directly with their godforms. How can you tell when you are connected to a system? You can tell you are connected to a system when there is a potential for influence. People connected to a psychic network can empirically test if they are connected through the same type of experiments to test for telepathy. Say there is an egregore or godform that teaches and knows something you do not and cannot do. Say it can write music. An empirical test would be if, after the invocation, you suddenly tacitly and intuitively know how to do something.

    Occam’s Razor says that the simplest explanation is that their mind is instantiating their own internal version of these entities, which is their mind using itself to represent a state of affairs. The evocation is actually an invocation where they are not working with a manifestation of a psychic network, i.e., an egregore. They are having a conversation with themselves masquerading as that egregore or godform. I don’t even think the members of DKMU are interacting with their system of egregores.

    Their rituals seem to be a perverse parody of ceremonial magic. I think all of it is contrived anyway, so I am not complaining about the lack of orthodoxy. The lack of originality that makes this medocire. The sigils and the seals look and feel like what you see with ceremonial magic, though; it is completely contrived. The form is ripped off, and it is completely lacking in originality.

  14. The thing about practical applications of magic and psychic phenomena is that they’re falsifiable. The existence of spirits isn’t. The existence of psychic phenomena makes it so that the belief in spirits can create effects attributed to spirits.

    I think that many people involved with skeptical paradigms of psi, magic, and the paranormal have become obsessed with gods and spirits because they can’t disprove them. However, you can disprove if your magic to shift the odds worked and was due to chance or not, whether the object moved, whether you’re still sick, etc.

    I think most people would face reality and tweak their beliefs accordingly, but they do not. I think these people are so obsessed with this stuff that they moved the goalposts from what could be scientifically studied and disproven to what can’t, which means it has no factual support, to avoid a mental and existential crisis. Essentially, they’re couching their beliefs in things you cannot disprove to avoid reality because it causes them to spin into a crisis.

    I think what causes all of these once skeptical magicians to converge on animistic paradigms and idolatry is the realization that they have no real paranormal influence on events. They’ve turned to creating idols and running on pure delusion and faith to avoid facing reality. And there’s an evangelical slant to it. They then wish to communicate about these allegedly autonomous or intelligent entities, so they end up trying to recruit people into cults that center around idolatry.

    Over the years, I’ve seen that wave of spiritual desperation completely destroy occult and paranormal spaces devoted to skepticism and rigor. Scientific paradigms are inherently adversarial and skeptical. You support your hypotheses and theories by you and your peers trying to disprove them.

    It’s horrifying watching them get sicker and sicker. I think what’s driving this is the realization that what they wanted and what they spent their whole lives chasing isn’t real.

    The main problem I have with these people is that they constantly crave external validation, and they only get that validation if others share the same beliefs and culture. So, they’re constantly trying to recruit or antagonize you in every interaction. They have the tendency of trying to change whatever space they’re in if it’s intolerable to them, and if people refuse to conform to their beliefs, they project and call that person insufferable.

    For example, there are atheists who believe in materialism and don’t believe in the paranormal in a space. Instead of speaking to people who share their beliefs and leaving the atheists alone, they will obsessively try to coerce or persuade the atheists. When that does not work, they default to harassment and antagonism. I think what’s under that is the loss of control. By believing in the paranormal stuff that they did and seeing it debunked, they are forced to admit they don’t have control, so they spin narratives that align with the chosen trope. It’s sad.

  15. With each breath, let us inhale the suffering of the world, and exhale the balm of compassion. Let us be the light that shines upon the darkness, the warmth that melts the ice of hatred and fear.
