Eelstren Soundtrack Now Available
I've now also created a soundtrack for the healing servitor EELSTREN.
If you are new to this project to build a powerful healing servitor that is publicly available you can find all the details at:
http://ritualchaosmagic.co.uk/index.php/projects/43-servitors/49-eelstren-healing-servitor
You can download the soundtrack directly from here:
http://ritualchaosmagic.co.uk/resources/eelstren.mp3
You can use the soundtrack in your own workings with the servitor and add any visualizations you may want to use. Again, this is a work in progress.

Learning To Laugh Again
Can you laugh when the brown stuff hits the fan?
Can you only laugh when things are going well?
That's easy!
If you can learn to laugh when the universe kicks you in the guts,
you will laugh even longer and louder when there is really something to laugh about!
Can you turn a minus into a plus?
Can you turn shit into gold?
That's real alchemy!
Doctors can give you drugs, but what about the rest?
True healing starts and ends with the owner of the vehicle we call the body,
look after it, it's the only way you can move around this crazy material world.
Invoke with Terror
Banish With Laughter

The Power Of Om
Recently, I have been concentrating mainly on exploring Meditation, Yoga and various eastern techniques and philosophies.
Meditation to me is ultimately about interrupting the trance of daily life, and thoughts that take over our minds, often without us realising it. Our inner life is very important, and obviously thoughts both negative and positive can have a major influence on us, this is an essential thing to grasp for anyone beginning magical practice, and even seasoned magicians can often get carried away with the more advanced techniques and forget about the basics of meditation and control of the mind and Will.
One of the techniques I have been experimenting with (not for the first time in my practice) is the use of mantras. I decided to use a very simple and the most obvious one which of course is - "Om".
Om, is an ancient Sanskrit word, and if I remember correctly from reading Crowley's book "Magic In Theory And Practice", Crowley believed it, and it's derivatives to be a very powerful magical word.
So, I used this word during my meditation practice, first of all saying it silently in my mind, and then I found myself saying it out loud, softly at first. It then became louder, and I found different tones started to emanate and almost evolve. Eventually this became a vibration, rather than simply a word, or even a sound. It became a vibration that linked me with some kind of cosmic essence, and the vibration enlivened and empowered my body, filling it with energy. At this point all distracting thoughts also seemed to disappear.
I would be interested to hear from anyone else who has any similar experiences.
Om - read more (Wikipedia entry).

Your Magickal System Dosen't Work!
I listened to a podcast recently where a magician and author made a sweeping statement that systems like chaos magick and thelema didn't work, and that magicians in these traditions proved it by their "inflated egos". He wrote Crowley off completely and many others.
While we all have our own magical paths to follow, and one persons path may not be for you, simply talking to a few people from different traditions and paths and instantly deciding the system doesn't work, because you don't like them or their ideas conflict with yours.....well, that's just dam crazy! Have you tried working with the system to get results...the proof of the pudding is in the eating after all? If you have tried the system and it didn't work for you, this doesn't mean it's a useless system, maybe it just doesn't push your buttons, it doesn't use a symbol set that you can relate to? Also, maybe you need to create your own symbol set and system that works for you (as many chaos magicians do, and yes, it does work for them).
Now, I like ceremonial magick, goetia, enochian and thelema, especially the idea of a Holy Guardian Angel "floats my boat" and get's me results. Of course classic chaos magick methods such as sigils, servitors, paradigm shifting and all that jazz does too!
Wicca doesn't really do it for me, and I've met some bizarre and slightly mad people "claiming" to be witches. However, I would never just write this magical system off, that would be crazy, as many people practise witchcraft and it works for them, why on earth would I? I've maybe not even met people who are following the Wiccan path with any serious commitment, but simply do a few spells now and again and invoke the goddess when they feel like it (I believe they are called "blessed wannabes").
Come on guys and gals, lets stop arguing about whose magical system is better and works and just get on with it, lets leave all that crap to the people who are still arguing about religion and dogma!
See you when we all shake wands and create a few earthquakes to shake up the world...

Don't trash a good servitor!
One of the first servitors I created, was a divination servitor. It worked quite well, he (I called him "nosy") would even do things like find lost objects for me. I would also obviously ask his help when doing Tarot readings and such.
It did however come to a point where I stopped using him, he just sort of drifted into the background. I didn't loose any more objects for a while, and my Tarot readings, well, I guess I was just trying to not rely on a servitor.
So, instead of just leaving him sort of crying in the corner not being used, to go his own way, wind down or whatever. I decided to absorb his power into myself, so I created a simple ritual where I imagined myself absorbing his energy.
The interesting thing is, I found quite to my surprise, as I had forgotten I had done the ritual, that a few months later my powers of intuition suddenly seemed to be improved greatly.
The moral of this story - don't leave a good servitor to simply fade away, or worse destroy it, that's useful magical energy....grab it.....absorb it!
See you when I have no hair....
