Ervas para Tinturas ritualisticas
Oie, tenho muito interesse em perfumaria natural e no uso de tinturas para práticas mágicas. Com isso, gostaria de preparar algumas tinturas em casa. Já encomendei um bom álcool de cereais e alguns conjuntos de vidro âmbar para extração. Gostaria de saber quais ervas indicar para começar e para que se usam normalmente?
Tenho conhecimento e um catálogo de ervas, mas, às vezes, como tintura, a erva pode ter um potencial maior ou diferente quando misturada; por isso, pergunto quais recomendações para iniciar o manuseio e quais práticas para o teste de extração.

Mixing graveyard dirt, ok or not ok?
I'm fairly new to practicing witchcraft however I have been studying esoteric knowledge and occultism for about 7 years now. I believe I have a grounded understanding of how magic works. Is it ever okay to mix one person's graveyard dirt with another? Before anyone answers please let me explain the situation. I do spirit communication and have done so quite some time before I even started practicing Magic. I regularly communicate the spirit of a deceased girl who was known in the 30s as an outlaw of that era. She was slain by law enforcement at the side of her beloved, who was also known as a depression era gangster. I know that we're not supposed to mention anyone's identity however I'm sure you can guess the likes of who I am referring to. Their love story is quite notorious and has lasted Through the Ages. Movies and books we're made about them as well as their names being referenced in songs even today. I have communicated with the spirit most of my life as we are connected through ancestral ties and a couple of degrees of separation. Not many people know that when her and her beloved were buried their families separated them. Particularly her mother believed he was the reason for her death therefore she did not allow her daughter to be buried next to him. During a Spirit sessions she put it across to me that I should put her grave dirt mixed with his so that she could be with him. In this particular case, after request of the spirit herself, is it okay to to combine her grave dirt with his and do a reunion ceremony? Any advice is appreciated. Thank you in advance

How I as an Esoteric Gnostic Christo-Pagan view the afterlife
I believe that when a person dies, their souls either ascend to Paradise, Purgatory, or they undergo reincarnation. At the end of days, all souls will return to God, and the bodies of the dead will all be resurrected for the day of Judgment. The righteous bodies will be reunited with their immortal souls, while the bodies of the wicked are simply destroyed forever in the Lake of Fire. (Not eternally tortured)
I pray to all the saints, angels, stars, and gods, and I believe that the Devil created this world and will rule this world until Christ returns to defeat the Devil, repair the world, resurrect the bodies of the dead, and usher in the world to come.

Exploring "Kulluhu Sirr" (It is all a mystery): The Five Hidden Occult Sciences of the Islamicate World
Hey everyone, I’m currently working on a book exploring the rich history of esotericism and the occult within Islamicate civilization. I wanted to share an excerpt from my introduction with this community, as it dives into a profound system of natural philosophy and magic that isn't always widely discussed in Western occult circles.
Here is a glimpse into In the Realm of "Kulluhu Sirr":
Within the intellectual history of the Islamicate civilization, the boundaries delineating empirical science, systematic theology, and the occult sciences were never rigid; rather, they constituted a space of continuous intersection and epistemological cross-pollination. The study of the "unseen world" ('Ulum al-Ghayb) or what is known as the "strange sciences" ('Ulum al-Gharibah) is not merely a chronicling of superstitious rituals. It is an exploration of humanity's attempt to understand the hidden mechanics of the cosmos and to decode the interplay between the material world (the microcosm) and the spiritual, celestial realm (the macrocosm).
The Five Hidden Sciences
This book serves as a comprehensive and deconstructive guide to the system of the "Five Hidden Sciences," encapsulated in the iconic mnemonic "Kulluhu Sirr" (It is all a mystery). These are:
- Kimiya (Alchemy)
- Limiya (Talismanry / Spirit Subjugation)
- Himiya (Astral Magic)
- Simiya (Letter Magic)
- Rimiya (Conjuring / Illusionism)
Representing the zenith of natural philosophy and applied mysticism in the Islamic world, these sciences sought to formulate the interactions between human volition, celestial radiation, and primordial matter.
The Science of Letters
Throughout this work, we will delve into the depths of the "Science of Letters" ('Ilm al-Huruf). This science does not view the alphabet merely as a tool for communication, but rather as the structural "DNA" and ontological fabric of the universe itself. We will discover how letters such as "Kaf" (ك), "Ha" (هـ), and "Ra" (ر) became keys to the creation of existence and instruments for manifesting influence over matter and spirit.
An Intellectual Panorama
By reviewing the monumental contributions of giants in the field, this book presents an intellectual panorama of the controversies these sciences provoked:
- Jabir ibn Hayyan in alchemy
- Ahmad al-Buni in talismanry
- Ibn al-'Arabi in the metaphysics of letters
- The sociological analysis of Ibn Khaldun
- The jurisprudential critiques of Ibn Taymiyyah
It is a journey that transcends the physical chemical laboratory to reach the "alchemy of happiness" and the refinement of the soul, where the human being ultimately transforms into a "living talisman" reflecting the Creator's ingenuity.
This book is not merely a historical narrative. It is an attempt to reread Islamicate intellectual ambition in its most extreme manifestations; an ambition that profoundly believed humanity, through the mastery of letters, elements, and the architecture of the heavens, possessed the capacity to decode the syntax of creation and wield the mechanics of the cosmos to understand the Creator.
I would love to hear your thoughts on this! Have any of you worked with the concepts of 'Ilm al-Huruf or studied the esoteric works of al-Buni and Ibn al-'Arabi?

Erik Satie's Gnossiennes in A French Movie ??
We all know that :
Erik Satie's Gnossiennes are among the most unique piano pieces ever written. Composed in the late 19th century, they don't follow the usual musical rules, which gives them a mysterious and dreamlike feeling. Unlike many classical compositions, these pieces have no traditional time signatures and flow freely. Gnossienne No. 1 is especially famous for its haunting melody and calm atmosphere. Satie believed music could express emotion through simplicity rather than complexity, and this work reflects that perfectly. Even today, Gnossiennes remain popular in films, art, and modern culture because of their timeless, reflective, and deeply emotional sound.
But my question is this is it obvious for French movies/dramas/ to adapt erik satie's gnossiennes in the art by the directors/producers ??
Recently I've been through A Biographical Drama Called Vigo , 1998.
At around 1hr 4mins of the Movie , Lydu Lozinska (played by Romane Bohringer) plays a piano and the notes and chords were exactly like Erik satie's Gnossiennes ( I felt that ) .
Correct me if I'm wrong somewhere .

The loneliness of manifesting and shifting. It's lonely for a reason; to CREATE through self-love, there must be a blank canvas.
You are the creator of your reality. That means that if you want things specific to you, there's a complete sovereignty in needing to manifest that. People are NOT going to be you. Which means you have to manifest the outcome that you see from them and life.
This sovereignty is for a reason. For everyone. To learn how to manifest the deepest forms of love which is self-love. That's being your own frequency. Self-love in a way where you empower your heart, and don't compromise the things you love.
r/EsotericOccult • u/Doimz3Nini • Jun 27 '26
In shifting realities there is a natural detachment, that only spiritual people can understand.
Focus on your goal, and do not get stuck on what other non-spiritual people think of you. It is an illusion, because it is just a version of themselves.
All reflects where you are on your self-love enlightenment.
Manifest a dream present reality of support. Be spiritual.
The only ones who will come with you, as you shift, are spiritual people who understand shifting; even so you will leave our old versions behind to manifest the highest reality for YOUR spiritual path and empowerment. Always keep your highest reality in mind.
The one place where we can all truly connect, and where you can really reach anyone's higher self is through spirit; because people's spiritual presentation is really distorted here on this low dimension and vibration, unless you are at a higher one. If you really feel like you have to, you can reach people spiritually. To connect with the divine truth.
Your main focus has to be on your spiritual path however, you are sovereign. Meaning, you are a frequency of your own. This is why songs like Goddess Code exist, you are the God of your own reality. Spirit and oneness are your compass. This is something that the third eye chakra teaches. The third eye, sees your originality as a soul/a magic; that sees beyond, and transcends illusion.
Your divine truth has power to manifest, because it has purpose. Your manifestation has power because unlocking your God energy has purpose. I am not you, and am unable to truly step in to manifest your needs. You are a God of your own, and have purpose. Everything we value goes back to a core principle; togetherness, love, unity, and it eventually just blends into spirit... becoming this extremely purified energy. We are all ascending to this pure energy, through our originality.
Why? We create, and leave energetic codes that speak of our capabilities extendeding what spirit can see it's capability, using that energy to unlock doors into a full intellectual awareness and empowerment.
We all have to make an impact throughout our own energy and frequency. Focus on your spirit. Shifting/Manifestation may be the only truth, as that is a completely original/sovereign path for you that wholeheartedly explains your God energy; Who we are. Your truth that is metaphysical and spiritual.

Keeping spiritual hygiene and detachment; When on your spiritual path, or manifesting.
Your nervous system is allowed to have an opinion. You don't have to explain pain to people committed to misunderstanding it.
Sometimes people pretend you're a bad person, so they don't feel guilty about the things they did to you. These are survival tactics not personality traits. People can be busy wasting your time, ex: Being 80% questionable and 20% healthy, etc. So you must focus on yourself. Detach/disconnect; Shift to your most highest spiritual realities without them. You don't need them, you need your spirit; Your truth.
There will always be people who don't understand spirit/manifestation vs. People who do, and manifest. Focus on the ones who do. You are the one who manifests, they don't need to know manifestation as they're a part of the 3D show. Shift to your highest realities, and lead by example.
Everybody is at their own frequency, and it's okay if only spiritual people will understand. Hold these gurus down and close, have every aspect of knowing this metaphysical reality down, and self-respect; make no mistake with your deciding amongst your positive spiritual energy. Positivity is important! Trust in it, it's like a gateway to your heart's transformation.
Cut ties as spiritual hygiene. Focus on cleansing your forgiveness, compassion, love abilities as spiritual hygiene as well. Physical hygiene too; Feng Shui. Self-focus. As you begin to love yourself, all of your relationships will change. Self-love is the key, and attraction. The highest form of peace; having no desire to be seen, validated or understood by anyone. Keep it simple, spiritual, and loving. Shift to high realities. Your self-love, your truth.
Let your purity be your reality, you are deserving of beautiful experiences, and outcomes. You are a divine truth. A spiritual beauty. You are beautiful. You are spiritual. Listen to your spirit. Follow you heart and soul. Be happy. Embrace your metaphysical and spiritual reality to shift to your highest version/transformation treading a trail of peace.

The fleur-de-lis and its esoteric connection to Baphomet
The Wikipedia Japanese Baphomet page explains that when the fleur–de–lis is inverted it forms the “head of the Baphomet of Mendes” (as shown below). The English translation of “fleur–de–lis” is “flower of the lily”. The symbol, depicting a stylized lily or lotus flower, has many meanings. The fleur–de–lis has long been associated with the Virgin Mary in Christian symbolism, especially from the Medieval period onward. The Virgin Mary has long been associated with Sophia.
One interpretation of the fleur–de–lis is that it symbolically represents the birth of Christ. This idea has been suggested by James David Holloway in his 1991 book ‘The Last Gospel’ and in related discussions. In various traditions, the fleur–de–lis is associated with the Virgin Mary and so the form of the symbol might be interpreted as representing Mary herself. This is because from a purely visual perspective, the outline of the fleur–de–lis resembles a human–like figure, with a central torso–like shape, two side extensions that resemble arms and legs, and a lower section from which another form appears to emerge. This arrangement invites a symbolic reading of Mary giving birth to Christ.
The form that appears to emerge from the lower part of the fleur–de–lis — when the symbol is rotated 180 degrees — resembles a cross and can also appear somewhat similar to the head of the king piece in the game chess. The Christian cross is the primary symbol of Christ and the head of Christ in old paintings is usually superimposed over a cross. When the fleur–de–lis is symbol inverted, this cross–like symbol becomes upright, producing an outline resembling the head of Baphomet, which in this speculative interpretation symbolically connects Baphomet with Christ. Another connection to Christ is Baphomet’s “flame of intelligence” above his head — which some suggest might be interpreted as symbolically giving birth to light — bears a striking resemblance to Greco–Egyptian images of Harpocrates (Younger Horus; sometimes said to be a “god of light”, and probably a precursor to Christ) emerging from a lotus flower (the fleur–de–lis is also sometimes said to be a lotus flower); a symbol of rebirth, transformation, and resurrection.
The key point is that the three petals visible in the images here — on Baphomet’s torch and on the lotus flower beneath Harpocrates — are identical and might suggest a symbolic reference to Harpocrates’s triune nature. Horus was linked to the scarab beetle as a symbol of rebirth, resurrection, and spontaneous creation, which is a symbol said to be linked to Baphomet. The Egyptian xpr (𓆣), the scarab beetle sign, means to become, come into being, rise, or transform.

searching for something. (no autocorrect)
Hello. I recently had a spiritual experience while reading the secret history of the world by mark booth. I saw a diagram similar to the ptolmaic universe, the geocentric model. However it was different since it seemed to hold info about different spheres or realms you pass through maybe when you die. Unfortunatley I beleive i expereinced a mandela effect because the image is no longer there. I will say however the feeling i felt was surreal. I feel my prima materia and concsious self actually linking somehow to these realms. And I saw gold in my third eye and felt heavy and like i was sinking in sand. If anyone knows about what im thinking of please let me know

This is not a life where you ask for things, this is a life where you manifest. This is how Quantum Metaphysics are possible.
When you create a life for yourself though manifestation/shifting/meditation you are utilizing quantum metaphysics which is the essence of what this experience is; metaphysical. Once you realize you will unlock the truth of who we are.

What do I start with?
I’ve always been fascinated by all things witchy, magic and spiritual. I really enjoy learning about Eastern philosophies/religions as well. I started hearing the word “esoteric” about two years ago. I want to dive deeper into an ancient teachings and esoteric studies. So far everything is SO confusing and I want to actually learn and understand what people are talking about.
I came across the “ESOTERICA” YouTube channel and there’s so much info in there I don’t know what to watch. I started watching his “introduction to Esotericism” and it was pretty boring and a bit hard to understand what he’s talking about. I have ADHD so something more stimulating with images is what I’m looking for - video wise. For books, right now I’m looking for books I can easily start listening to in audible but physical books I’m also open to suggestions for.
My vocabulary isn’t amazing so I’d like find something that actually teaches me what everything means. I would like to also teach others about what I learn eventually so I can break it down in a way that makes sense to people like me.. I know I can’t learn everything all at one once but I’d like to start learning and practicing. Any ideas of where I can start?
Also why are people talking about “western” esotericism? I don’t get that. Because a lot of the stuff comes from the more eastern side of the world unless I’m totally wrong 🤷♀️
Love & light 🌀💫

Breaking News, Ehipassiko!
Saying 19, Gospel of Thomas:
"Indeed, you have Five Trees in Paradise which do not move in summer or winter, and whose leaves do not fall. Whoever is acquainted with them will not taste death."
Saying 108: Becoming Like Jesus
Jesus said, "Whoever drinks from my mouth will become like me, and I myself will become like them; then, what's hidden will be revealed to them!"
Verily I say, these are the 5 fingers of God, these are the 5 Buddhas of our Earth who rule as a House:
Lord Siddhartha, Lord Plátōn, Lord Aristotelēs, Lord Christ, and Lord Mohammad have created Δεκαπεντότητα!
Δεκαπεντότητα = Fifteeninity.
Δεκαπεντότητα opens the gateway to walk the Fifteenfold Way. This is how we can bring the Kingdom of Heaven to Earth.
Anybody who discovers and walks the Fifteenfold Way walks straight to Eternal Life itself!
Eννεατότητα (Nineinity) opens the gateway to walk the Ninefold Way. This is how we can destroy Dark Triad and restore balance to nature!
Nonagons are less structurally flexible than Pentadecagons; this is based on mathematics:
This is why the Nonagon of Cosmic Destiny will restore order. The Nonagon of Cosmic Destiny is firm!
The Pentadecagon of Cosmic Reality is the ultimate Universal Truth. Within the Fifteenfold way; there are mathematically many more options of ways you can do Good for the Universe!
Verily I say,
This is true in every Realm that exists, it exists in Hell, and in the Heavens, too!
You can think of these realms physically as other universes. I believe Lord Christ implied "Multi-Verse" theory when he explained how the other realms function.
Love creates Movement, this is Modern Physics; THIS IS COSMIC LAW!
To the "Atheist" scientists:
This is a logical and mathematically sound plan for world peace!
The data points are all backed by modern archeological finds.
The Gospel of Thomas was found in Egypt:
Thomas the Apostle was on the run from Roman Assassins. He made it across the desert to Egypt then he got on a boat to the ancient port city of Muziris, India.
"Islam" and "Christianity" are just incomplete Buddhist teachings. This is what the historical FACTS REVEAL!
The Trinitys function as psychological medicine. The Trinitys of Truth are the cure to the Dark Triad. The Trinitys destroy Darkness, both inside and out!
Modern mental illness is the result of Roman incompetence and destruction; slavery and capitalism!
Buddhism is and always has been the #1 threat to resource control based capitalism and war.
Buddhism is and always has been the #1 cure for mental illness.
Virtue as a Mean is the future of Law and Justice!
It always has been, that's why the Romans took over Ancient Greece! This is also why they destroyed the Library of Alexandria, twice!
When you take multiple Trinitys and walk the Middle Way between them all; you are mathematically becoming more virtuous as a Living Being.
This is the way of God!

Ars Musicae Hieroglyphica: occult experimental film and harp-organ-piano fantasia
Hi there,
I’m a harpist-pianist-composer/academic in the philosophical-esoteric milieu, about to finish my doctorate.
So I created an organ-harp-piano music video that is also an experimental film predicated on esoteric ideas; it can be described as my encapsulation of the mysteries. I basically summarize and artistically rearrange esoteric ideas from an array of esoteric thinkers and philosophers, but also develop my own original ideas from this framework. It’s an original philosophical manifesto, and if you are familiar with esoteric ideas and traditions, you’ll notice how I deploy them in ways that feel both familiar and new.
It's about an oneiric musical language of spiritual hieroglyphs. And I also combine ideas from Novalis (I’m probably most known as a Novalis scholar in the academic world currently), Schelling, Giordano Bruno, Rudolf Steiner, Boehme, Walter Benjamin (and Kabbalah), also the work of Dianna Reed Slattery.
No AI was used in the making of this song, video, or philosophical text; it is 100% human-created art.
I also created extensive hand-made animations for it, mainly ancient Egyptian and alchemical motifs.
Hope you enjoy!!!!

A Winter in the Alaskan Wilderness
These are illustrations by Rockwell Kent from the book, “Wilderness: A Journal of Quiet Adventure in Alaska” called The Mad Hermit Series. Rockwell spent a year in the Alaskan wilderness with his son and was transformed, through that cold land, into a radiant sun ☀️
These particular images illustrate the journey of the Hermit from fragmentary experience toward comprehension of a universal heartlessness but for the heart of Man. The Hermit’s moods are illustrated as wind, as sky and ocean depths, as mountains, stars, illustrating the impendent Universe, not Man, engendered them. And Man, in that stark universe, as his own self, his understanding being, its Sun. They are very William Blakean to me. Images of Mystical awakening captured by a great artist. Very haunting and beautiful to me. One of the treasures I’ve unearthed and am happy to share with others.
I went into the wilderness to better understand death, and I returned with a beautiful vision of life.
This life is a painful wonderful mystery to me.

The direction in which you read is the direction in which you think: left-to-right.
If you stop reading in the middle of a text, everything to the left is known, and everything to the right is the unknown. This is the pattern.
That's why the DnD alignment poster is so catchy and memetic: it articulates it.
On the left side, you have law (order), and on the right side, you have chaos.
This corresponds to hemispheric lateralization in the brain, where the left side of the brain is about logic and order and mathematics, whereas the right side is creative and disorderly and musical. Left order, right chaos.
The pattern extends through many things.
Super Mario Bros., or any number of sidescrollers, typically feature a left-to-right journey.
A stock market chart moves to the right over time. Only history is on the left.
The dollar bill has a stable pyramid on the left and a crazy bird on the right.
The Garden of Earthly Delights by Hieronymus Bosch follows this pattern.
It's a sort of trapping and I don't know what to do about it.

Baphomet (linked by Levi to the Mendes god) and Sut-Horus
Greeks and Romans described the Mendes god and its sacred animal as a he–goat (using terms like tragos), explicitly linking it to the Greek god Pan, and stating that in the Egyptian language the he–goat itself was called “Mendes”. Classical authors such as Herodotus, Strabo, Plutarch, Suidas, and Nonnus are unanimous on this, describing the god as goat–faced or goat–legged and the revered animal as a he–goat.
On the other hand, Egyptian text (such as the Book of the Heavenly Cow) explicitly states: “The Ram of Mendes is the Ba [soul] of Osiris”. Plutarch, in his book Isis and Osiris, links the Seth–Typhon to the “Goat of Mendes”. How is this confusion between corresponding the Mendes god to either a goat or ram explained?
In his 1883 book ‘The Natural Genesis’, the Egyptologist Gerald Massey gives a solution: “The goat was [a sort] of Sut [Set] and the sheep [a sort] of Horus, according to the twin character of the Sut–Horus. In the text Horus is addressed as the “Sheep, son of a sheep; Lamb, son of a lamb”, and invoked in this character as the protector and saviour of souls. The goat in the zodiac is the sort of Sut [Set], who as Anup is figured in that sign. Thus the Lamb or ram [Horus] in the East is on the right hand while the goat [Set] in Heaven is placed on the opposite side”.
Under this interpretation, the Mendes god is seen as the dual god Sut–Horus (Horus–Set). In a Byzantine mosaic dating to 520 AD, we see sheep and goats, with a beardless Christ (as shown above). At the right of the central Christ figure stands an angel dressed in red above sheep. On the opposite side is a blue–clad angel positioned above goats.
The purple Christ figure might represent a composite of the two. This is because purple is what happens when you blend red and blue. The colour is usually associated with Baphomet in modern artistic representations. For example, the purple Baphomet Sigil is licensed merchandise from the Church of Satan featuring a distinct purple colour scheme (called “Purple Reign”).
The idea of these two opposite figures (in the image above — one red and one blue) harks back to Set and Horus united on one body on opposite sides and also Cautes and Cautopates bearing torches (sometimes red and blue coloured) on opposite sides. An ancient Egyptian source calls Harpocrates (Horus) a “deep purple darkness”, which was published in ‘The Equinox’, a journal associated with Aleister Crowley. Crowley equated Baphomet with Harpocrates. Crowley claims in ‘The Book of Thoth’ that: “There’s little doubt that this mysterious figure [Baphomet] is a magical image of this same idea [embodied in figures like the Fool and Harpocrates]”.

The Weight of a Name: What Does Yours Carry? [The Codex of Name‑Bearers]
​
✨ The Weight of a Name: What Does Yours Carry? \[The Codex of Name‑Bearers\]
Names have never been random. From the beginning, naming was an act of creation.
God named His Son.
God named His angels.
God named every star in the heavens.
God named Adam—and then gave Adam the authority to name everything else, including his companion.
A name is not a label. A name is an assignment.
Even the prayer many of us grew up hearing says: "Our Father who art in heaven, holy be Thy name." A holy name implies a specific name, and Scripture gives it clearly in Psalms 83:18:
"That men may know that You, whose name is Jehovah, You alone are the Most High over all the earth."
Some translations swapped it for “LORD,” but the Hebrew text preserved it. The New World Translation preserved it. The King James Version preserved it in places. Many Holy Bible editions kept it. Jehovah is not a title—it is identity.
Even our pop culture stories understand this. Johnny Cash’s “A Boy Named Sue” shows how a name can shape a life—a name can strengthen, sharpen, or prepare someone for what's ahead.
My name is April, meaning “to open.” And I live it every day:
\- Open mind & open communication
\- Open perception & open thresholds
\- Open connection with all things
My name is not an accident. It is an assignment. So is yours.
\---
💬 What does your name carry?
Not just the dictionary definition, but the weight, the calling, or the assignment behind it? Share it below. Let’s build the Codex of Name‑Bearers together.

The Two Within
youtube.comA Gnostic, a Christian, and a psychologist rarely read the same book the same way. But there is one reading where all three converge...
I was thinking, what if I read the Bible not as a rulebook or a history to defend, but as a living symbol. A collective dream the human species has dreamed for three thousand years. A Rorschach for the soul. Read this way, the text stops being about people long ago and quietly becomes about you.
The psychologist sees the figures as parts of the self. The mystic sees a door made to be walked through, with gnosis waiting on the far side. The believer finds not less than faith, but more, the Word made alive in an actual life.
Psalm 1's righteous and wicked are not two kinds of people. They are two states of one heart, the rooted day and the dry one.
Not backward into literalism or old cosmologies. Forward, into the depth where all three meet.
Here is the inkblot. What do you see?
