So I wasn't sure if I should put it out there, for the person's privacy, but the she removed from both Discord and Tumblr and the message isn't very specific - and I think it's important for people to know, especially the minors out there.
If any of y’all didn’t know, there’s a free online library, aka
https://openlibrary.org/
and I found like, twelve ebooks I’ve been wanting to read on there, and blasted through like three of them during the course of a boring-ass shift.
A lot of witches use different types of water in their practices. Here are a few. And remember intention is very important.
Sun water - vitality, happiness, strength, positivity
Sun water is made by cleansing your preferred jar in your preferred method, filling it with water, and putting the jar out into the sun for however long you would like.
River water - moving on, changing, letting go, cleansing
River water is made by collecting water from a river in a jar that has been cleansed. (Boil before consumption.)
Rain water - growth, change, cleansing, protection
Put a preferred jar that has been cleansed out in the rain.
Dew water - beauty, glamours, love, fertility, calmness
Dew water is made by collecting dew in a cleansed jar. (Boil before consumption)
War water - used for hexes, curses, bad luck, general negativity
War water can be tailored to what you have on hand. You just want to put nasty shit in there or things like rusty nails, dead bugs, moldy things, vinegar. Do not consume this at all.
I hope this information helps some people. You can always use methods that work for you. Happy witching my friends !!!
SYMBOLISM OF BAPHOMET
Baphomet is obviously androgynous, with female breasts and the very phallic caduceus, representing the union of male and female.
The wings represent spirituality and ascension while the goat’s head represents sin and the animalistic nature of humans.
The wings represent Air and birds, the scales on its belly represent Water and fish, and its hooves represent Earth and mammals. The torch represents Fire.
The gesture that Baphomet is making with its hands represents the Hermetic Principle of Correspondence, “That which is above is like that which is below.” The “above” is the macrocosm, either the literal universe at large or the divine realms. The “below” is the microcosm, life on earth or the human body itself. And if you affect one, you affect the other.
The words on its arms, “solve” and “coagula,” mean “to separate” and “to bring together.” They summarize the alchemical process.
The torch on its head represents intelligence, divine knowledge, and enlightenment, the soul over the body. The pentagram on its head is upright, putting spirit above matter.
The white and black moon represent the sephiroth Chesed and Geburah (respectively), therefore the qualities of mercy and severity (respectively).
The caduceus in its lap, in addition to being a phallic symbol, is representative of magical power, healing, and bringing together of opposites. (Apparently also eternal life.)
The circle behind the caduceus is reminiscent of the Ouroboros, representing the Principle of Mentalism — all of the universe is in the mind of God. It also apparently represents the atmosphere, probably the “cosmic Void,” prima materia.
Baphomet is a personification of the process of magic. And yet for some reason, all people seem to remember is the goat’s head.
Satan/Lucifer Edits
(this is my magic and Hellenic polytheism sideblog)
I like how the description fits both part of my situation and some of the aesthetic stuff I like lol
That said, this type of reading is quite interesting. It's like a first impression but it's your energy.
When I do an energy reading it comes across to me with an item representing each of the 5 senses. Overall it paints a picture of the persons energy
Below is the energy reading for @thirstyvampyre thank you for your patience!
SIGHT: I see a smooth road stretching off into the distance and disappearing over the horizon. There is no one around and it seems a bit unnerving.
TASTE: I can taste the sour/sweetness of a crisp granny Smith apple. The taste brings me a sense of comfort.
SMELL: I smell the scent of burning rubber. It's overwhelming in its assault of this sense.
HEAR: I can hear the low mournful sound of the wind passing through a semi enclosed space.
TOUCH: I feel emptiness. It reminds me very much of reaching out for something to steady yourself but finding nothing there and stumbling.
OVERALL: Overall I am getting the sense that there is perhaps a journey you've been contemplating but haven't embarked on yet because it's one you have to do on your own. There will be things to comfort you along the way once you start but it's very much indicating that you will have to rely on yourself
Come, charming Vepar, demon of the seas,
Of enchanting voice, oh siren of old,
Fierce as a storm and gentle as a breeze,
One whose heart is kind yet vengeance ice cold,
One able both to bring and kill disease,
Come, warrior mermaid, terrible yet sweet,
Be our defender, oppressors defeat.
More about Vepar in my new Wordpress post.
By popular demand, I’m giving it a shot.
I cannot define what all Satanism is. I can only define the type of Satanism that I practice.
If what you read here does not resonate with you, seek elsewhere.

hello!! I'm starting to look into information on Lucifer, and I'm running into some road blocks. I was wondering if u knew if thr author Asenath Mason was a good source or not? i am incredibly hesitant about accidentally stepping on a landmine, so to speak
So I have not managed to get through any of her books in full but she did multiple collabs with E. A. Koetting who is a murder-encouraging nazi charlatan and some with Michael Ford who is also very sketchy when it comes to fascism (explained in the linked post by @alephskoteinos) and she also wrote multiple books on Qliphoth (appropriating and bastardizing Kabbalah, which many Jewish people stated is harmful) so I wouldn't call her a good source.
From books written by practitioners, from what I remember The Luminous Stone edited by Michael Howard was nice. I can't say agree with everything, but I recommend it because it shows many perspectives on Lucifer from those who work with her, without, you know, nazi shit. Unfortunately I don't know any books specifically on Luciferian practice worth recommending, but learning more generally about working with and veneration of entities in general can be a great help because while many things may differ, many principles are pretty common. Also if witchcraft is your thing, more folklore-based practices can incorporate Devil figures much more often than ones shaped by Wicca, so there are many options of including Lucifer, especially in his more folkloric aspect.
From academic works, Children of Lucifer by Ruben Van Luijk and The Devil's Party edited by Per Faxneld and Jesper Petersen are good for general history (they speak about Satanism but also about Luciferianism bc it is very intertwined). They will not give you a guide on how to practice, but will give you a general understanding of many ideas common in Luciferianism and where they come from which is very important. Another personal favorite is Satanic Feminism by Faxneld, which is an exploration of how Satan/Lucifer started to be connected with liberation (feminism in particular) in 19th century.
Origins of Satan (written by a professor but more accessible than academic works are from what I remember) is an important read on the politics of how Satan was used to "demonize" various groups of people.
Also Paradise Lost but imo when you get more context on its role in Satanism, Children of Lucifer should suffice.
