My next Order of Business is Business itself.

Life is good, brothers and sisters, life is good. Sales are up, people are learning traditional Hermetic magic with a firm grounding in the principles of Agrippa’s Three Books of Occult Philosophy, and I’m making bank. The Red Work series of courses is doing phenomenally well. So well, in fact, it needs my full attention for a while.

As a result, I’m cutting back on the Applied Hermetics Services. Going forward, I’m only offering the Hermetic Diagnosis, and the Business Booster rite. I’ll no longer be taking on new client work. This will give me the time to focus more on the completion and maintenance of the Courses, and to catch up on some backlogged work without extending the backlog even further.

I’ll continue to work with existing clients on an as-needed basis, but all new client requests (other than Hermetic Diagnoses and Business Booster Rites) will receive recommendations to other practitioners I feel are qualified. In fact, I can tell you straight up who I’d recommend now and save some time*:

Jason Miller
The Valentines 
Michael Cecchetelli
Chris Warnock
Conjureman Ali
De Heer Balthazar
Lavanah

There are others I’d recommend who haven’t formally started taking on clients that I know of (cough cough Deb, Fr. SEA, VonFaustus, Fr. AIT, Witchdoctor Joe, Adam cough cough).

These are the no-bullshit magical practitioners-for-money who I’m confident can deliver what they offer, no punk, no funk, no elevator junk.

Except Valentines, he can bring the punk on occasion, when it’s fucking necessary.

And they’ve all got the funk.

But no elevator junk! They all rock it hard in their own way.

Whatever you do, go with someone who takes money, for a couple of reasons. When you give money for a service, it creates a very Hermetic/Mercurial sympathetic bond between the two of you. The exchange of money for a service seals a covenant between you and the practitioner, just exactly like the pacts made between Abraham and YHVH, and every other magician before or since.

Also, when you give a magician money in a covenantal, pact-based exchange of cash for services, they incur a debt, an obligation that they are held to by higher powers. They have to deliver to the best of their abilities, or else they pay the price. It’s a magical oath the magician is held to as strongly as the Oath of the Abyss or the Bodhisattva vows. So buying the services of a magician provides its own built-in warranty that you will receive what you pay for.

That doesn’t mean you get what you want, it only means the magician has to do what they said they would do for you. You can pay a magician all you want to get rich, but that won’t guarantee any wealth rituals will work for you. It will only guarantee that they will do whatever they can to make you wealthy, or else.

Basically, when you hire a magician, you’re doing the same thing a magician does when he conjures a spirit. The spirit you conjure by buying a service happens to be in a physical body like yours, but you’re still creating a pact with a spirit and their associates to work on your behalf to manifest the world in accordance with your desires.

 * If you provide occult services and would like to be mentioned, don’t bother asking for a referral unless I know you really well and have expressed my respect for your work. I might have forgotten to mention some folks because I have a mind like a solid steel sieve, but don’t be expecting me to mention you if I don’t know you from Adam. (Adam, I’m not talking about you, I’ll refer them to you whenever you’re ready to start taking clients.)

I suspect a lot of my friends and colleagues secretly think I’m insane when it comes to the Business Booster rites.* I charge $1,200 for it. That’s one thousand, two hundred dollars right there. Insane, right? Who’s going to invest over a grand in magic?

Smart people. That’s who.

 I got this update today in my email:

Just wanted to update you on progress. So far my productivity increased, I estimate it’s worth approximately 15,000 per year net income. I also just received word I will be receiving an additional 16,000 per year for some new areas of responsibility I will be taking on (requiring at most 4 hours of work per month). Overall [the Business Booster rite is] resulting in approximately a 15% increase in net annual income.  So basically if a person is willing to work hard,  and do the magic work, the business booster program is a no-brainer for wealth enhancement. 

Your program has been great and I wish for others to tap into this financial method in these times of the tight economy.

15% increase in net income? So if he invested $1,200, and he’s getting back $32,000, the Return on Investment (ROI=(Gain on investment-Cost of investment)/Cost of investment) the client saw is about 25:1. Not too shabby!

Now, not everyone has the same degree of success. My initial trial run test subject increased his business by a lot more, while another client in very different circumstances saw very little in the way of wealth, although they did manage to break even (which was also a huge increase, as he’d been losing money before the rite).

Another client brought me in at his business’s inception, and he’s still in the exploratory phase of launching the business. He hasn’t seen any large windfalls, but his success rate has been consistently high. He’s in FOREX trading, and with the volatility of the global economy, I understand his conservative approach. I’m saving up some money to invest with him when he gets things going, and then I’ll be blessing the FUCK out of his work. Weekly.

But the people who have taken the rites seriously, done their part to draw down the powers and build on the foundation we lay down in the Saturn Rite have consistently seen really incredible increases in profit. 15-30% increases. In this economy.

You better believe I do this for myself. Cha-Ching!

And as word spreads among the business community (really slowly, because who’s going to admit they use angels to improve their business over a martini power lunch?), and the clients start getting bigger and richer, I’ll be able to charge more and more for this.

Heh.

Heh heh.

Bwah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

I love it when magic works like it’s supposed to. Like in the deal.

* Probably for other things too, but that’s a thousand other posts.

Following up on the last post, I thought I’d go into some more detail on recent projects.

Business Booster: Lite

I put together the Business Booster: Lite ritual for a client who didn’t have the time to do the Gates Rites. I don’t think it will be as effective, and I strongly encouraged him to find the time to do the rites for ascension purposes, but nevertheless I expect it to be very successful.

The trick was trying to find a way to anchor the forces I’m releasing during the rites into his sphere. I think we found a way using the spirits of the talismans I made for him, and a link to the forces using a phrase from the rite spoken at appropriate times.

If you’re interested in test flying it with me and him, you need to have a business idea in mind already, you need to have the means and will to get started on it, and then we’ll get together and do the magic to supercharge it and increase the chances of its success.

If you’re interested in being part of the test group, I will take on 2 additional clients for it. Email me by clicking on this link and we’ll talk price.

It’s a five-week cycle of rituals I perform on your behalf, it comes with two talismans, and you’ll need to, on the appropriate days, perform a micro-rite that will take a few minutes, tops. And you’ll need to visualize some stuff while you’re falling asleep.

Hermetic Diagnosis

And the plural is diagnoses. I wish I’d thought of that before picking a name. You know how annoying it is writing “diagnoses?” Well, try it if you don’t believe me. You’ll see.

Anyway, the Hermetic Diagnosis is perhaps the best thing I’ve ever done for people. In brief as a refresher, the Hermetic Diagnosis is a careful inspection of your spiritual health. It includes a tarot reading, a check for any curses or crossed conditions, and an analysis of your current relationship with the forces represented by the planetary spheres.

Now imagine me doing this for people several times a week. Each time, I’m conjuring up the Seven Archangels of the Planets. I’m ascending through all the heavens and getting an intimate view of a person’s personal relationship with the forces that create the universe. I’m tapping into the forces that flow through the intelligences into the world at large to get a glimpse into how these forces are playing out in a person’s spiritual life.

Oh, my brothers and sisters, it changes you. Immerse yourself a few times a week in these powers, see for yourself the things that happen. It’s beautiful. You learn so much about the planets and your own relationship to the forces involved in the unfolding of fate as you work with them. It’s a series of progressive catalysts that kick off chain reactions in your sphere that all work together to create the processes of experienced existence. It’s the DNA production of enzymes and proteins that results in life. Tick tick. Kerplooie.

And the intimacy with the powers gives you… well. You lot know I don’t mind looking crazy, right? I’ll talk about conjuring archangels and I’m totally comfortable acknowledging that yes, yes I do talk policy with God, in fact. Regularly. This is the kind of stuff that’s kinda nuts, you know? Fringe stuff.

But the deeper stuff I’ve gotten into I’m hesitant to talk about a lot. First, the words I’d use are lies. They’d be true, but still, reading them is direction and any direction I’d give would be misdirection, distraction from the Source that you need to be looking to for the direction. I can only talk around it, about it, and it’s not ideal at all. Maybe with the caveat up front that you’ve got to look beyond the words to the thing I’m dancing with would help. Maybe not, because of the second thing.

The second thing is, it’s fucking insane and most rational folks reading about it would be like, “Whoa, RO’s totally lost it. I thought that shit only happened with Enochian magic.”

But third, and probably the most compelling reason not to mention it is because I really don’t want to talk about it. The Projection stage is about doing it, putting the magic into practice, applying the spiritual lessons to the world at large, making it better as you see fit.

See? I’ve used those words for years, so really, I’ve been saying it all along, talking the most important thing. So you already know it. Gah. Do. It’s a verb.

Enough sermonizing. Sorry, it slipped. Can’t help it.

As I’ve done more and more of these things, I’ve exercised my divination muscles a lot, and in all honesty, I’m pretty buff at the moment.* I find myself using the crystal ball less and less, and using my astral sight more and more. I’m seeing things about people’s spiritual state in rich detail, and the results are getting spooky for some clients. Here’s one recent response from a client:

RO, I just read the diagnosis and I had to move away from the screen too often!!! It is scary how accurate it is and the Moon and Venus issues are just astounding. I never trusted my earlier attempts at anything astral as they seemed to subjective (I am very analytical – BS in chemistry – Hence you were dead on on Mercury as well!!!) Venus, this is the part that I could not handle, it was TOOOOOOO accurate – [personal information removed.] I cannot believe that you picked up on that at that level.

Another client wrote: 

There´s so much things i could refer in the diagnose that are extremely
correct, and you know that :), so i´ll just say that i am very glad with
it !!!

I would post a lot more similar responses, but they usually go into specific details that I’m not comfortable sharing publicly. These are at a high enough level that I can post them without getting into too much detail, but they’re a good sample of the kinds of things people say. There’s usually one major area that someone is working on, or that is primarily impacting their lives, and the diagnosis reveals it in a way that lets people work on it directly.
 
Oh, and doing these has been great for my self confidence. Like many magicians (and humans in general) I tend to think that I’m dealing with issues that no one else could understand. Come to find out, most of us are suffering the same kinds of things. After providing the diagnosis, I always ask my clients if they have any questions or if there’s anything they want clarified, and in the ensuing conversations we get into specific details about the path magic takes us on, and it’s great to be able to reassure people that the things they’re going through are normal, and that some things that seem terrible are actually really good indications of success to come.

And I really like it when I can help. Obviously I can’t go into details, but a client was contacting me to see if they had anything blocking their financial success,** and something came up about their relationship. I gave them the warning, predicted the struggles they’d have to face, and provided some hints about what would bring them through it faster. A couple months later I got a beautiful report of their struggles and triumphs, and how the advice I gave ended up being the solution that worked for them.

Overall, this product is my favorite to do. It’s benefited the clients, providing them an overview of their spiritual health and upcoming situations that require their attention, and it’s put me right where I need to be to keep moving forward in my own spiritual path.

Good times!

* At divination. Still pudgy physically.

**  Money’s a big issue for everyone, that’s why I write about it so much. Simple solution: Do magic to get rich, man. It works.

So I made a comment on FB about politicians needing to wipe the jizz of their donors off their chins before lying to me, and a couple people were all, “Where have you been!?” I didn’t realize I was missing. Then I checked, and I haven’t made blog posts or been on FB or much of anything for the last couple of weeks.

I’ve been busy, yo. I have a lot of shit in process. Since April when we started the Jupiter cult and the subsequent outpouring of blessings and grace, both financial and spiritual, I’ve been steadily getting more and more ideas, plans, plots, and opportunities to take over the world. Instead of talking about it, I’ve been doing it.

I made a pretty major breakthrough in the 8th sphere stuff a couple of weeks ago. It’s not even 8th sphere sturff, it just takes the 8th sphere stuff to make sense of it all. It’s really nothing “more” than Kundalini and the Sacred Fire that flows. It’s what a lot of new age books have been talking about for years and years. I’m using techniques I learned from C. W. “Pedobear” Leadbetter’s Chakras. Things I’ve mocked and ridiculed for years are turning out to be useful Tech, in spite of the bullshit wrapper it comes in. Babies and bathwater, I suppose.

Whatever.

Suffice it to say that the stuff I’m doing now is not at all like what I was doing before. It’s the difference between visualizing the archangels of the corners of the world during an LBRP and actually conjuring them and knowing them intimately in a communal rite. All that meditative stuff I did before without initiation, stuff I was sure was real and making a difference in life was in comparison total crap.

Real quick, I just want to say that going up levels in initiation does not result in leaving behind the “trappings of ritual” at all. You don’t get to a point where you no longer “need” the implements of ritual to “do magic.” There are things you can do without full rites and rituals as you progress, but they are still predicated on having done the rites and rituals previously. And when you do the full rites, the difference in power and effect is monumental.

I did some more work on the Business Booster Lite rite, and that will be another post. And a ton of Hermetic Diagnoses, which led to the insights into the kundalini thing and a new “level up” experience. I’ll be posting some reactions to the Diagnoses people have had. It’s kind of funny now to hear some things.

I’m also getting ready for the upcoming Crucible presentation. Next weekend in Jersey.

Anyway, many blessings upon you, and expect to see more of me in the coming days. I have a couple other projects that aren’t getting any exposure until they’ve reached a bit more solidification. If all goes according to plan, all will be revealed in the coming weeks.

Well, with the New Moon finally upon us, and Mercury Direct, though still getting back up to speed, I’m planning a lot of manifestation magic. Now’s a good time to get in touch with me for things like Wealth and Prosperity rites, and “Good Luck on That” rites.

Also, I’ve had good reports coming in from the folks who purchased the Business Booster rites. I think they’re ready to go live, full time. One client is looking at getting out from under a massive debt that’s haunted his family for years, has had business rivals become partners, and has continued to expand his business opportunities globally. Another who started more recently made back the initial investment in windfalls within the first month, and has since seen a remarkable increase in new business.

As promised, the price has gone up. It’s now $1,200 for Business Booster rites. The rite takes what you have and enlarges the base, strengthening the core structure of the business, and then starts adding to it. The people who are seeing the most success have a strong business model already in place. It takes five-figure a year revenues and pushes it to 6 figures, or six-figure revenues and pushes them to seven-figures. It’s not always manifesting in 10-fold business growth immediately, but it does add a certain momentum to your existing business that continues to grow as you continue the rites.

The Theurgic effects of the rite are also something that a couple of my clients have mentioned. For example, one client writes:

I agree strongly with you that working on the spheres in general brings positive benefits throughout my whole life. I seem to get along with people better. People around me are more proactive at problem solving. In others its like all the right tracks have been greased a bit in my life. Its to such an extent that even if I didnt get any thaumaturgic results, the theurgic results are more than worth it.

I’m going to be working with one guinea pig clients on establishing new revenue streams, tweaking the initial Secret Rite I offer to be more specifically aimed at getting new businesses going. I have one client in the chute now, and I’d like to find a couple more. If you’re interested in a Business Launching rite, a modified version of the Business Booster, I’ll keep it at the $695 price tag for now.* It will include the same basic stuff as the Business Booster, but will also involve some specific Birthing rites of Venus, and will be adapted accordingly.

I’ll have to update my products and services pages soon. For now, if you’re interested in the higher-end services, please contact me via email.

* The higher rate separates the sheep from the goats, and time is precious these days.

Ok, so since I started writing the Gates series, I’ve been working with one of my regular clients. He’s from the Philippines, and runs a family business. He’s been successful at maintaining a steady income, but he’s been blocked by some spiritual and mundane factors that were limiting his potential and keeping him from achieving his goals.

He first contacted me about making him a talisman for success in his business. A Wealth and Prosperity talisman incorporating Jupiter and Mercury spirits, specifically. I made that for him, and he saw immediate results. Next he wanted something to help bring him victory in various struggles, and we came up with another talisman for that. Again he was very pleased with the results.

Then he came to me with a problem that had been afflicting his family for a while, a spiritual issue involving a Chinese Sorcerer, the details of which I can’t share. We’ll just say the sorcerer had rigged the results in their own favor, and my client wanted a way out.

Around this time, I was writing up the Gates series of rites. High on Jupiter’s powers (a great high to be on, by the way), I saw an opportunity for us to work together. He agreed to be my test case, and I gave him a discount on the whole deal. If it worked as great as I foresaw it would, I’d turn it into a product/service and offer it on my site.

It involved a rite I did for him and his business followed by the performance of the Gates and some work with the Talismans I had made for him. I was eager to see what effect we could have on an established business that was already breaking even. Usually by the time people contact me, they’re in bankruptcy or the equivalent, and it takes a great deal of magical assistance just to get them up to subsistence-level living.

He was also an ideal client for this because he was familiar with the basics of occult practice. He had worked with the Lemegeton’s Goetia before on his own, with the usual results (technical success, but in the same or worse condition he started in). He was ready to listen to me when I advised the Gates series of rites under the auspices of the rite I put together for him.

When he began the Gates Series, he and I had a breakdown in communications. He was doing a rite every day of the week. When I posted the suggested schedule a couple weeks ago, he wrote to tell me he had been doing them much more often, and I suggested he back off on trying to do all the rites every week, and stick to the schedule I discussed before, one planet each week, but the Jupiter Gate weekly if possible.

He did the magic, stuck to the regimen I prescribed, and the results are in. He agreed to let me publish his results, and I’m sharing them below. I’ve taken out some of the more personal aspects and some of the specific details of his case that are none of your business, but suffice it to say there are more benefits to our work together than are listed here. My comments are in [brackets] below.

• Managed not to become manic and kill everyone in sight because of doing Planetary Ritual everyday in a row. [Even though the powers he was tapping into were accumulating in his sphere, the work with the Intelligences kept the integration process from burning him out or manifesting in destructive ways.]
• Though the effect is snowballing since 3 weeks, the effects are already felt after doing my first Jupiter Ritual.  That would be after you did the Ritual for me.  It is like something is being cook up and I don’t know how it will turn out. [I did the framework rite that focused the powers released by his performance of the Gates rites specifically into his business first, and then he started with the Jupiter Gate rite. He felt the impact of the Jupiter Gate rite immediately, but it started manifesting in his life over the next three weeks.]
• The effects would be getting job orders from clients in every directions and given orders not seen since before recession.  After development of the design is approved and ready for production, another tens of designs are pushed in our hands.  I think this is the time to do 80/20 rule.
• I can finally understand and work your Talismans effectively. [After I sent him the Talisman Maintenance and Operations Manual, which I wrote mainly for him personally, and then passed on to everyone else. I snipped some personal details he provided that I don’t think should be public knowledge.]
• I worked the Silver Talisman with same intent to apply it in business.  [This was a mild domination talisman designed to bring him victory in all situations, originally.] Back then, I couldn’t gain the attention of 3 clients because of a competitor.  This competitor was our employee back then, she got ambitious and go freelance.  She got our contacts and know-how and price and work for a richer company using these.  2 things I won’t tolerate and would go ballistic are stealing what’s mine and besmirching my name.  I can now work without concentrating much on the enemies since [the spirits of the talisman] are the ones who had their sights on my enemies.  Love working with those 2, they are automatic and stoke my inner mean streak.  Oh, and I got those 3 clients back.
• Compared to doing it the way I did and doing it your way:  The way I did it back then, I became manic, like the way I felt when working with Goetia.  At least it did not become uncontrollable like Goetia.  Now, I feel normal with some wisdom on dealing things in life.  I’m not saying that I’m enlightened and I feel compassion for mankind, its just that I accept and come to terms with all things happening to the world.  I became poised, graceful yet grumpy to filter in people who would approach me. [This is why he mentioned that even though he did the Gates rites much more often than necessary at first, he didn’t get all manic up top. The rites  of Goetia he had used before had left him obsessed.]
• I’m expecting all these work could cover expenses for months to come and [deal with some other issues that are personal].  When Christmas season is near, I’ll go crazy and maintain those wealth/opportunity/money rituals to generate lots of probabilities to earn more money.
• Your rituals are successful, as long as the caster is diligent and neutral in expectation (Process may become unexpected and different from the plan but the result will be same). 

I like that last point a lot. He wasn’t my only test case, I am also working with another client on the same process. The other client didn’t start doing the rites regularly until a couple weeks ago, and he’s already seeing the results come in much better. Still, he’s about a month behind the other guy. At least he has something to look forward to.

Now I’m ready to start offering this service to others. It works best if you’ve already got a business in place that’s making money. It would be equally effective for businesses that are in the red, but when you start out in the negative, a lot of the power will go just to getting your business to break even.

It’s not for the average American worker bee. It’s for entrepreneurs and professionals with good business sense and a healthy amount of ambition to achieve. Lazy slacker reactionary pussies need not bother, it’s a waste of your money and my time.

This is best suited for those with self discipline and a decent understanding of the process of manifestation. If you’ve really understood the Neoplatonic Basics, you should be ok with the Gates rites you’ll be performing. They’re simple enough and require very little in the way of materials. Most of it you can make yourself. the thing is, you have to DO THE MAGIC to make this work. I’m setting up the framework, giving you some boosts, but you’ are applying the power to the engine of manifestation. You gotta do the rites. Once a week, maybe twice, for at least five weeks.

Can you handle it?

It’s a package deal that includes the following:

• 1 Business Talisman to expand existing business, increase transactions, and to draw new opportunities.
• 1 Victory Talisman aimed at giving you an advantage against your competition. Also will provide the spirits he mentions that keep an eye on his enemies. 
• 1 Secret Magical Rite I perform on your behalf that provides the framework for the Gates to specifically manifest in your business life.
• All Seven Planetary Gates Rites
• Talisman Maintenance and Operations Manual

The results are only limited by your own dedication and adherence. As you read through the Gates Rites, you’ll see a lot of advice on getting your kingdom’s shit together. You’ll need to apply that to your business. After you pass through each Gate, see what application you need to make from the books to your business. The spirits will guide you to apply it in the most beneficial ways.

Now for the price:

One MILLION Dollars!

Ok, not One MILLION Dollars.

Some day, though, oh yes, SOME day!

Today, however, it’s $695 for the first three customers, with the stipulation that you MUST agree to provide me with weekly reports that I can use as testimonials for the service in the future.

I won’t be offering this service again until these three clients have been through a complete cycle, which should be some time in August, unless the results are truly amazing. And August will be the right time to start preparing for the Christmas sales season. When I offer this service again, it will cost at least $1,200. Maybe more. One client so far is on track to break a million dollars in revenue this fiscal year after performing the rite. $1,200 is cheap for that kind of reward. If it manifests the same for these three clients, it’s going to cost twice that. This offering is to see what kind of consistency the rite shows in practice.

I’m not targeting this at individuals with jobs, this is for business owners who can afford the investment. I can come up with something similar for individuals for less, but this package is designed for taking an already in place operation and ramping it up to total domination of its target market.

If you fit my target demographic, you have a business already in place that you want to see take off and fly this summer, and you can commit about an hour or so a week for five weeks to see your profits go through the roof, please contact me by email, and I’ll discuss the arrangements with you.
