Calcination to Coagulation.

Some of you may have noticed that my number of posts and replies in forums have been reduced lately, time the most previous commodity we have has been in short supply of late. My own spiritual development and progression down the 7FW have been my main concern and we all know the path we follow has plenty of curve balls to throw at you.  Looking back over the past two weeks events this morning gave me insight into the alchemical process we follow .

Calcination

The tasks of trying to manage my personl life, my sinister life and O9A work, projects and time to contribute to a blog certainly adds pressure and impetus to ones life. When one of these areas makes demand on your time, space or money, your other priortties are tested for worth. What would you give up ? would you let your sinister projects slide ? would you put off ritual work or delay workings ? by not giving up anything and finding ways round, fighting on and keeping to your honour you are submitting yourself to the process of Calcination. The extra stress on the mind and body when endured for long enough will eventually make you think ” Is it worth it?” if your soul cries a resounding “NO” then you will inevitably drop that facet from your life. In essence and area of your life that you no longer needed was burned away from you revealing a little of the dark diamond underneath. The willing constant submission to this process is the  alchemy of the seven fold way and its aim is to speed up this natural process of perfection and resurrect the dark essence of man .

Every member of ONA participates in alchemy, whether in a conscious manner (through the intentional perfection and manifesting of one’s dark nature) or through the tumult and suffering of worldly experiences that finally lead to increased spiritual awareness. A brief research into Alchemy and  reading of the ONA MSS  will revel that their are seven steps in the alchemical process, using a little logic and applying it to your own life you may get  a brief glimpse of what might become.

The ability to grow and use plants to enhance both consciousness and physical health is something often overlooked. Some plants are easily grown at home, been able to harvest your own plant material and extract the beneficial chemicals in them is easier than most would think.

The entire process takes on a new meaning when you grow a plant from seed, nurture it, harvest it and use it to gain insight or aid you in some way.The cost of growing them can be minimal,the end product is usually free of any contamination and after a while you have a free and easy supply to use as you wish. It provides a similar primal urge fulfillment that hunting your own supper does, the range of skills and knowledge you will have to acquire to succeed are quite varied

Not all the useful plants or fungi can be grown at home it depends on where you live or if you have access to artificial growing environment but some quiet potent substances can be grown on a window box or in a back yard.I would strongly urge anyone interested in this to first check out the laws in your own country and area as to the legality of some of these species, also keep in mind that while the plant my be legal any extraction of an end product may be illegal.

 
 “Calea Zacatechichi” has been well documented history and is an interesting addition to anyones tool kit. A good source of information can be found at http://www.erowid.org/plants/calea_zacatechichi/ .Reading through some of the experience vaults on Erowid http://www.erowid.org/experiences/subs/exp_Calea_zacatechichi.shtml can provide further clues to its use.

Erowid can provide you with a whole host of further suggestions of plants you could grow, harvest and use, we arnt just taking about expanding your mind but also strengthening the body. A tea or ground leaf capsule of Damina taken twice a day can can greatly improve the sexual health and appetite of both males and females.The effects are not instantaneous but after a period of usage, typically 5-10 days the effects can be felt although they do very from person to person. A tea made from Kratom leaves has a strong stimulating effect and if a large dose is administered it can have a narcotic effect on the body.

Intoxicating Mint isn’t as it sounds intoxicating but it has a fantastic effect .An infusion, decoction or tincture stops bleeding, seals the capillary walls, reduces blood pressure, has anticonvulsant and anti-allergic properties, contributes to the reduction of intraocular pressure in glaucoma, improves vision and color sensitivity and to improve physical performance in hot climates.

Now without sounding like a fake old mexican shaman, we should dominate the world of plants, they are a useful tool and ally that the vast majority of mundanes ignore.

Dark Imperivm….self-titled CD for German label Skullline

 

Dark Imperivm

---

Dark Imperivm produce a mix of ritual, satanic occult, Dark ambient and melodic sounscapes. The power of music in ritual & meditation  is well known and its often a challenge to find just the right kind of music. Nikolau’s  music is evocative and sinister, it would enhance any dark ritual and add an extra sensory level to personal work and mediation. I often find that music is good for mediation because not only do you get  a timed period but I feel it also helps deepen the insight. Normally some would level a criticism at Nikolau for all the track having a similar sound and feel. I cant help but wonder if he intended this because this CD uses that to excellent effect, giving it a theme feeling. The CD would be excellent for longer rituals where it would provide a good flow and undertone.

The Imaginary used on the you tube video is striking when viewed in combination with the tracks, the symbolism is good and I hope that it inspires other to undertake similar projects

The CD comes in 5 different devil-color jewel cases and 3 photo insert carts is limited to 33 handnumbered copies.
