In postmodernist tradition the system is in practice now

Of course there are many benefits in learning a tradition inside out . But to my mind true mainline gnosis is suited to the individual practitioner artist who creates there own spirit contact WORLD. I do not wish to or pretend to place my practices in a strict spiritual Historical lineage like A O Spare my practices are developed from a number of post modernist philosophies traditions , from De sade to Bataille , Burroughs to Acker , from Bacon to Joseph Bueys , from Voodoo to Quimbanda and from coil to Diamanda Galas all these influences stretch far and wide in spiritual transmission and development of a system suited not to a ‘group’ but to the individual.Whether such interpretations are Historically rigid correct remains another story or viable with others but to myself spiritual transmissions are instinctual , carried through like shamanic trances naturally to one . The past is of little importance the present is now , traditions evolve practices evolve to fit develop with our postmodernist world. I would never pretend to be initiated or that my practices had anything more than a personal relation to myself and as A O Spare said it is a cult of one . Though what I have always believed is in the future of gnosis is the ability to experience through real life practices aswell as ritual spiritually aware transgressive states , that some experiences cement our relationships to certain spirits naturally in empathy and being able to channel such through a deep seated relation to such . In magick and gnosis I have often found a overbearing need for the practitioner to intellectually philosophically understand a spirit or debate a explanation of whichever current but natural spiritualist contact or life experiences seen as more amateurish or placed less importance upon as valid . In my mind although I am not adverse to being educated or intellectual essays on such , this proves very little understanding or experience of true spirit contact or cannot be set up as proof of spiritual enlightenment . Over complication without simplistic spirit man woman communication has little place in true spirit enlightened to  ALL.A million titles will detract from the true nature of all we as practioners needing is a body and soul to have TRUE spirit communication.Most spirit contact can not be intellectualised spirit contact comes freely if chosen through life experiences dreams then related back in the creation of divinity through ART.I also feel experiences sexually or in real life with prositution , female psychosexuality should not be seen as any less valid if not more valid with say developing certain relations with say pombia gira than just without any real connection EXPERIENCE to these spirits,in  empty perfected ritual intellectualisation.In my mind although ritual is of importance in cementing a devotional practice pact with the spirits experience develops a higher more conscious developed understanding in REAL PRACTICE with SUCH.Just as dreams or psychic transmissions from the spirits , visions harvested from such can in their purist initiatory form provide TRUE contact unasked for channeling of the spirits without affliction Historically to their cults .For myself too much importance is placed upon spiritual lineage which in its paperwork may be impressive  to some and not enough importance on the ability to be naturally instinctively in contact with such . Andrew Chumbley believed all spirits were transmitted energies , he took several aspects from sufism to witchcraft to develop a system with as little Historical lineage as possible to develop something that fitted the postmodernist world and was as much stripped down to basic spirit communication as he felt possible . In this way as a artist and practioner I also feel the way forward is to develop create our own magickal linage systems with as little ties to past HISTORICAL lineage as possible in being transmitted in practice spiritualist contact of the NOW.For some I feel the past intellectualised tradition perspective is a we wall  lean upon for support when that allows us to not push ourselves or boundaries to not PHYSICALLY SPIRITUALLY practice fully without fear , to sit comfortably in experience of knowledge without true lhp path interaction with the spirits in their most purist form.This why I feel the future of postmodernist practice is now and a world we the practitioner and spirits create their own systems fitting to individualistic contact with as little intellectualised Historical placed context as possible ,in other words the path of the true initiate is of a personal relationship a path of the individuals current path ALONE.In that true practice we have no Historical lineage in the lineage being the future of development of the individuals personal path alone.

Spiritual Mapping In Initiation Of The Qliphoth Universe Through Dreams

 

It is a widespread fact that spirit contact comes in form of dreams in most magical religious traditions the fragmented image that envelops the semiconscious state minors in purity of the usual profane attributes of our working human evolved mindset of ego.For myself most of my paintings have come forth from not just real life experiences but through dreams . Fragmented images mapping a Qliphoth universe through were destruction death meets with sexuality life .A place of  our interpretation of the most abstracted bestial ugly elements of the human condition transgressed  in violent creation to also a thing of beauty.A dark part of my inner subconscious were the spirits reside and convey beauty as embracing being everything , as all extremes transgressing to a enlightened gnostic state. In being the tree of life married with the tree of death , in being combined to EVERYTHING , to knowing accepting our  lightened concious ALL.Images with feelings energy come through emotively causing feeling movement to evolvement of the soul in the purist none judgemental form .And when these images fall into my mind as spirit mappings I know humbled that I am truly initiated not just into a higher perspective understanding of the world , but in this action  that  humbly it is about spiritual closeness of creation also  through something bigger than myself .Solely something minus human selfobsessions or ego.I am transported to a deeper understanding of the world elementally before mankind or human preoccupations which taint mundane LIFE. And all my art is form of divine communication absent from profane ego . Aswell as dreams mapping the Qliphoth universe , the spiritual world or world of the full uncompromising soul universe .Dreams come lucidly of experiences I have transgressed through extreme memories given by the spirits of incidents I have been through in real life fragmented memories which allow time travel and the ablity to transgress in sleep through again a situation we have experienced in real life in sleep once again. As I have referenced before a lot of my practice has been built up on REAL LIFE experiences with extreme violent , sexual elements and death which has been used as a gnostic tool to through pushing boundaries destruction of the ego , transgress to understanding all aspects of energies of humanity through to imperfect DIVINITY .To embracing all elements of spiritual , human existence as valid , as beautiful or beneficial in embracing all elements of the brutality of the human condition in its fullest undiluted form.The journeys of abstracted forms evoked after ritual in the dreamlandscapes offer also a form of spirit to man or woman true initiation through image channeling of the Qliphoth universe in being a gift from the initiator the spirits to humbled man or woman allowing us the knowledge to enlightened full being .In this we are shown a place of nightmares that we are initiated not to fear , in that fearlessness is a main key to all true practice , we are taught to embrace darkness aswell as light and all have validity in our journey through spiritual communication , full enlightenment transgression to our full higher self embracing all our POTENTIAL.So in this one of the main aspects of initiation becomes none human and becomes the relation of the mappings of Qliphoth spiritual universe through the subconscious uncontrolled aspects of images evocated through dreams.

The Path Of All Or Nothing

One of the first aspects of embracing the LHP fully or path of afro magical traditions is the ideology ,that our path requires all body and soul there is no murky half giving , it is in actuality a path that requires all.Destruction of the ego , to push the boundaries of comfort to transgressed enlightened full states ,all.These paths have many causalities but the thing we have to remember as TRUE practitioners working with these energies without fear there can never be any half hearted inbetween , in that as a true practioner we seal a pact for life.None of this is more validly important when working with such spirits as voodoo lwa , it requires if a shrine is set up no matter how roughly a life long pact of devotion to serve such spirits . Unlike Goetic spirits , such spirits can not be silenced and banished on once entering a home .I feel this is a point of this path to be discussed that these spirits can not be employed once for ‘a working’ and once called upon you are even if the pact is not formally sealed in blood making a contract to serve work with such until death and if you are not willing to give all to such or honour such contracts upon your life the consequences can be dire . This is why it is particularly important when choosing which lwa , pombia gira , Exu we work with we choose wisely not dabbling , spirits we know suit our own energies or that we could have a long fruitful relationship with for life.My devotional practice is based around Pombia Gira of the rags who choses to experience prositution ,poverty inorder to hold a deeper understanding of life , humanity in full .She is also like the hindu tantric who scarifaces all wealth for poverty dismentaling the human ego choosing to experience life in full darkness , light and Pombia Gira Caveria the spiritualist meduim of the dispossessed street people , the Gede of Quimbanda.In voodoo practice I have perement alters work with Maman Brigitte , Baron Kriminel , the Gede spiritualist street elements honoring the elemental aspects of sex creation , destruction death the dual poles of existance and petro Erzullie Danto who like Pombia Gira represents the female form in true married transexualised gender united form .These spirits besides the gateway opener of legba have been specifically chosen to fit my energies practice ,in knowlege that the connection is strong to such and I could sustain a connection to such. In practice we do such with pure heart and respect , not just as a fashion fad or whim , the spirits will work with the practitioners and although the path is rougher harsher than others born in FIRE through destruction of everything ,we can find rebirth and rewards that are unsurpassed . We can find through total surrender to such paths , that intensely require all , true enlightenment that is not to rewarded by tamer religious magical frameworks that require less or not full commitment.I have realised this from the start that such paths require life forming relationships with the spirits , unlike most although it was a conscious descion to dedicate my practice to certain spirits , I did not have a choice as a sensitive channeling such harsher more what others deem as dangerous spirits anarchic forces since birth. I did not search for anything and without choice naturally such things would communicate through dreams , my life and of course ART.Some people are made for rougher more uncompromising practices and to beable to feel connection to communicate such naturally , therefore the path of ALL was not to my own personal experience a conscious descion , the choice  was made for me . This is why I do not have a problem submitting all to certain spirits or my practice because I know commitment to such is already there naturally , though I realise we must never enter such pacts flippantly because any gesture of calling big or small is a contract of the practitioner acknowledging that they will serve of work with that spirit not for a brief moment but for life.That all contracts with these enities require submission fully to them in being giving ALL.

The Urgent need For The Spirits Manifestation In Life.

When exploring the spiritualist traditions  shamanic mediumistic systems  that deal with the once living now physically dead spirits .Of palo , Quimbanda Voodoo and Santeria is the running theme feeling need of all spirits associated with these religions need manifest themselves in life still.This comes across in spirits need to still live life with ourselves walk among us none rested in communication to still teach the methods ideologies of a full life in and after DEATH. A lot of the time this explains fully the practioners need when invoking to transgress all things in physical life exploration of all things to pursue a life like the spirits without LIMITS to whole fullness of being .Possession therefore being a full exploration for the spirits of life in death manifestation also , of a way to still for them have a full life through us .These spirits on a low spirit level of being elemental not enochian or of higher celestial form that has never walked upon the earth , as the spirits of the physically dead wish to cling onto communication living upon the earth to be here as a gateway between this and our world. They have either the need to through a full life love of ALL, things good and bad transgressed to the highest level of fragile humanist imperfect qualities , the need hunger to feed upon life through us as living practioners through death ,the need to communicate of forfil a pact or full life they did not possess when living hunger to communicate , or a need to cling onto communication with loved ones after dead , either way the elemental fact is such spirits have not given up on life . So transgressed even through death they motive the need to still form links manifestations with life or experiences through for example sexual , violent extremes that prove a gateway of full untainted experiences of life of being LIVING.In their hunger of feeding upon all extreme human emotive aspects , life whether in the profane sense of the world good or bad as any form means of reflecting life the living into themselves.
To animate the blood and bones of the physically living as shells husks for their own forms of living inwardly outwardly even when dead a full life in the world.
Caution is needed for the none brave because in invocation all spirits have the same motivation to communicate live a fullness of life through others here on earth through all savage elements as well as softer to feed upon without constriction all forms of the human condition in its radiating ugly beauty to FEED to FEEL everything in divine understanding of their love of life.In living within the living , life landscapes of ourselves pushing smashing all human contradictions limitations the spirit is the libertine in his or her full form without limitations living a life without fear. Smashing all in narrowminded judgments morals to a FULL life of everything in a insatiable hunger of being through death able to push violently through to a manifestation of LIFE also.That in all spirits of a lower nature ie being once humans of this earth previously lays bear the need to in their world still even when dead continually manifest  live  in also in true human nature unrepressed fearlessness.
A hunger need for as spirits manifestation in LIFE.

Heal My Scars And Reconstruct Me Reborn In The Image Of The Gods

As practitioners in possession of self mutilation we often find eventhough we physically cut the flesh we hold no afterwards physical scars . This can be in ritualistic acts of physical cutting by knife or by life’s harsh experiences that after we have transgressed to a more divine knowledgeable enlightened state hold no mental scars or hang ups also. That it is as if we have experienced all these impacts and become reborn with the spirits , without scars in the image of divinity Lwa , Gede Or Pombia Gira Exu itself. That throughout all these transactions protected as children of such in giving ourselves wholly over in surrender to the lhp or spirits we can experience all these things without fear or repercussions as a divine act of death that leads to in purity rebirth.In my past of prositution violence inflicted upon my body , mind soul , I have no scars because my scars are healed in my commitment true purist communication with these spirits and I have experienced the violence destruction of DEATH annihilation of everything my ego , to be reborn without physical or mental scars reconstructed in rebirth of my purist form of enlightenment of knowing everything in the image of the GODS.Being reconstructed in the images of Gods is not to be associated with the profane conclusion of superiority or superior power instead it is the highest and lowest form of spiritual embodiment. In knowing everything in being reborn in humbleness naked without ego of knowing in life everything , of through such impacts upon our lives spiritual beings being able to use this as knowledge to be all things as in creation sex and destruction death beginning end with knowledge blessed like the spirits GODS.For these gifts experiences of the spirits gods given to the choosen initiated by them, our debts pact is honored physically in a thanking ritual of  being honored with rebirth on the 1st November  with offerings prayers of devotion at the start of the begining of the voudon new year . The day of the dead  dedicated to the Gede that is also the day of rebirth also.This is true enlightened reconstruction in their image of knowing all in the world in truth and accepting good bad , creative , destructive , on a equal line as valid beneficial in all forms of going past our own moralistic or inbreed dictions of acceptance of everything in radiating energy TRUTH as valid to our development spiritually and within our world. Through true soul devotion of experiencing the need to work on a lower aswell as higher spiritual level of the need accept life and death in full initiation of Gede for example. We can experience through cutting or the hardships of violence destruction inflicted upon our lives a blessed initiation by the Gede spirits. A none human initiated blessing ending with healed none existence scars of being reconstructed chosen by them of them penetrating with a knife then sealing themselves under the skin the soul , living within ourselves of a baptism ritual of initiation by the spirits also. In healing and sealing without scars themselves under the skin that is the body the temple which houses the soul and a higher conscious interaction understanding of such , the spirits physically and spiritually reconstruct ourselves in rebirth blessed in their image of higher consciousness.You have given everything and been chosen by them to walk a path of knowledge of all of knowing blessings and to never fear with them by your side. For most of the time destruction and rebirth is the most humbling experience and gives us as a gift the enlightened vision of knowing the vision of divinity the soul awakened fully in the world .To come naked in soul with pure intentions and ask the spirits to heal my scars and reborn reconstruct myself in the image of the GODS pure without ego in truth with them.

The uses of ritualistic impacts outward and inward violence in regards to working with the Gede.

When working with the Gede we find not only the roots of sexuality eroticism creation and destruction force death but also elemental earthy primeval violence aggression of mans spirit without constriction.The body is the temple in possession we cut our selves or other penetration to transgression to a higher experience of receiving mediumistic transmissions of allowing in our flesh ripped open the spirits to sexually penetrate us and live within our bodies to be walking spirit forms in a type transgression attributed to Gede Nibo intigated onto our own flesh bodies and  in intigated acts of violence upon other outward violence attributed  to Baron Kriminel.Knifes and penetrations cuts to the flesh are attributed to possession by both but also the idea of psychologically taking onto oneself actual force of the violence rape or rough sex in Nibo being the spirit of the murder victim , or those on the streets who have died through acts of violence is  submission  to violent acts infliction upon oneself, and the polar opposite attribute of Kriminel inflicting  he is the typical coldhearted Kray Brother gangsta sterotype , the crack dealer in the gettos , the inhumanistic  hitman with no affliction with humanistic nature , he unlike nibo is the protaganist whose violence domination upon others acts of outward projected violence .Note this is refelected in Kriminals uses in ritual to project death or violence upon enimies lives in return for devotion ,his collection of debts of others actions against his faithful.That in acknowledging both forms of transgression of our darker elemental character hidden occult ourselves to our more base true natures that can open up the gateways of experimentation with the attributes visions of such Lwas a divine higher mind state of ALL.In Baron Kriminel we devour bite the flesh for forced full consummation of the soul ,his spirit forced violently in climatic intercourse into our own in this savage union . When possessed in biting the flesh lays the metaphor for being fully consumed adjoined with the spirits and our animalistic lower though higher in being fully awake and aware lwa natures selves.In breaking the flesh with knifes or teeth allows us to let the spirits in to engage in full erotic intercourse with them , in a marriage of spirit and human body flesh , as a ceremony forging our commitment to such in penetration . Such acts seal a pact and if possessed , we can also act as  in a possessed  divine state , the initiator to lover on earth in for example biting the flesh or inflicted physical sexual extremes upon another , not in a s & m contrived sense of being to forfil mundane fetishes . But in a possessed state that transcends such and allows in these interactions full contact which transcends mundane perverse ideologies to through martyrdom submission our loved ones to be given the experience of the elemental roots of Lwa. Lwas espically Gede are in sexuality are fully formed in creation and destruction or annihilation whether it be of the ego our preconditioned selves spiritually or through physical acts of violence or DEATH . Though most importantly these elements energies spirits work on a level as givers but also takers of life .In that they work with polar opposites, that you must experience know ALL in a full existence of divinity and be aware of acknowledge know life but death also.This is a contradiction in many aspects of being ALL things , all extremes life the start , the end though such things represent all knowledge everything , and can not be just cornered off  or boxed off tidily ever to one particular experience , one aspect of life or our complex existences on a spiritual or earthly plane. In these two different Gede forms we find a way of being the executor murder protagonist in Kriminels attributes of being a enforcer bringer of violence a active force upon others to Gede Nibo that in this aspect is submissive or inflicting cutting upon our own bodies a way to experience being the aggressor and  in some aspects victim also by using such Gedes duality in experience of both oposing aspects of ritual.We in possession experience all things that are attributed to our true natures full human spiritual form.I talk about experience of such things in sexual ritual exchange because these are the most valid ways to tap into experience such forms of the eyes visions from the lwa because in such exchanges sex being creation and even in cutting the flesh that is penetration not erotically charged but works on the level of like sex being a form of unity through penetration to reveal our true souls , it is in its action a ideal tool to such trangressive states . In the fore mentioned interactions the most valid way when utilised properly ie not just for " titilation " to fully physically spiritually embody such states to a full enlightened understanding of our souls of being acknowledging all.That in this experiences like the Lwa that were at one time human beings before death , we transcend to the spiritual heights of being like they remain are in full knowlege   ,we develop into elemental divinty with full open inspired vision also.

In the BASIC we find distanced from our own ego true spiritualist communication ,the basis of true spirit work

In any spiritual tradition before sex magick before metaphysical goetic thought the root of everything is establishing simple rooted spirit communication without sophisticated forms of contact , to forget the simple things like mediumistic contact that are the foundations to everything , without this our spirituality holds nothing and honouring such practices is a life long process that should never be lost or neglected in our quest for higher more intellectualised systems of practice and thought.In my mind the most important aspect of my work as a practitioner and in relation to my work as a artist is establishing spirit contact on a more grounded grass roots level.
In the ancestor shrine , we find ways to continually communicate with the dead to remember , it is a simple practice of a bowl of water , photos laid , candles lit but all we need to naked establish day to day communication with honouring communicating with the dead. With respect and remembrance and a simple practice that allows us a gateway to our spiritual world.Even when we are accomplished in whatever field of practice it is important that we never forget the most simplistic gestures of communication , ritual that truly in pure essence matter , that less is more in our work with the spirits and these things allow ourselves a solid base to build upon.In the ansestors shrine we not only find a important relationship with our heritage , our ancestor spirits but this also acts as a gateway to communication with other spirits based on the aspects of spiritualism , death , such as Gede , the lwa , nkisi, exu and pombia gira.All spirits as spirits of the dead are also ritualistically and spiritually connected with those in being one of the same of the ancestor shrine and I can’t place enough importance on practical relationships of simple rituals in the shrine mediation upon such as a form of true mediumistic contact over the western traditions of metaphysical goetic grimoire . Everyday prayer contact establishes on a regular basis true contact and a ongoing understanding of death which is one of the major aspects attributed to life and link to the understanding of the spirit. Things such as ritualistic spirit baths also are important to practice ,florida water , basil rose petals work as designated herbs to channel Ezili Danto and other herbs attributed to spirits and their likes dislikes apporiated through uses allow us in ritual to focus on spiritual contact . All these things sound amateurish in comparison with magical intellectualisation though to myself its always better to have a strong simple daily practice to the roots of spiritual work , than a million half baked complex theories practiced sporadically that with their intellectualisation hold no keys to proper rooted daily spirit communication. This is why like the ancestor shrine , I feel solid devotion shrines practices are also simple but important backbones to true practice and without these so called simple gestures you cannot have a mediumistic relationship or strong spiritual practice. Sticking to a tradition or practice of everyday week having a ritual of laying the ancestor shrine or spirit baths or  a devotional practice like simply lighting a candle solidly is important in establishing faithfulness to such spirits in having a solid relationship .You can not expect such relations flitting back and forth from different spirits or practices as you choose .So dedication to ritual builds up in its simplistic form, a true gradual communication with certain spiritual contact.In this form this why although often overlooked in the need for complex intellectualisation , we need to respect build up on the more simplistic forms of tradition learn such first to in a small way step by to establish spiritual contact today .Such things are often forgot about in a need to have the most complex forms of thought attached to higher spiritualist attainment , and viewed as less valid or more basic , but it  is in the basic we find distanced from our own ego true spiritualist communication ,the basis of true spirit work.
