A Wizard's Scrapbook -- The Weekly Journal

Untitled Document

This shall be a scrapbook to which I will add diverse things related to me, a wizard, and magic, and to the Group, Magical 333. I hope you will come back often to see what else has been added. It will have plenty of art. But don't let anyone fool you...there's more to this little of mysteries than meets the eye. Remember, some things are beyond words. Hit: some of the art can be printed and used in rituals, spells, and more.

My beloved magical friends, enjoy!

Once upon a time, while on my way home from a days work, I happened to see a remarkable animal. It was a wolf. Someone had it in the back of their pickup truck. I knew then and there, I had to have one. I set out with the intention of getting one. I knew of course, finding one in the pet store was out of the question. So I turned my attention to magic. Late one evening, soon after, I sat before my magical altar with candles lit and incense burning, the smoke gently rising up, born upon the cooling, night air. My eyes began to glow with a desire to possess wolves of my own. Images formed in my mind. I beheld the future through a mist. There I was, smiling, looking, and seeing my two wolves approaching me. I raised my hands, and with motions and words that could only produce magic, I cast my intentions into the dragon's breath of manifestation. Soon, it was done. Some time had passed, when I looked down, and saw an old newspaper at my feet. I reached down and lifted it. I felt something tingle in my fingertips, and a feeling awake in my stomach. As I turn the paper rightside to read it, I saw the words, "wolves". I called the man, who was as good as a ghost. He was difficult and elusive. It was if he did not exist. And after buying my two wolves, he was gone as if he never was a part of this world. A dark a shadowy like man, who required me to travel deep into the mountains to find. When it was done, I was pleased, even if I lost more money than my budget allowed. I won't discourage you from this kind of adventure, but I urge you to file:///C|/Mysticalgod/A%20Wizard's%20Scrapbook/scrapbook.html (1 of 2)3/16/2009 1:38:37 AM

please, research these animals before getting them, and get at least two, because of their strong social needs. Below are images I took a couple weeks after getting these animals.

I have come to love the sound of the latin language. I also like the elvin language, which is is actually very detailed. Yet, for now, I will limit my studies to Latin. I will provide our Group with spells and poems in Latin. May they benefit you well. Below is a magical prayer for members of the group. It may be used in any part of your magical ritual. It may also be used outdoors, in forests, near brooks or rivers, or in other places where you feel the spirit of nature is very strong. I must mention that I was drawn toward an old dusty case which sat amid spider webs and shadows in a very old man's airplane hanger. It was actually hidden behind an antique mirror. I pulled it out, dusted it off, and tested it. To my amazement, it worked well. Not only that, but it also had a beautiful letter typeface, cursive. It had to be at least 50 years old. So I've decided to use it for magic. I've provided the english translation of this magical prayer, and you will see it below. You may use the names of your God and Goddess before "So Mote it Be".

Be in touch with your feelings. Are your worldly emotions standing between you and your magic? Look at the images from this point forth. Are your feeling related to the magic within these images or are your feelings clouded by things not related to the magic? Hundreds, or thousands, of images are yet to come. (Added 3.16.09)

Signs and Gestures Gestures, also called Signs are positions assumed by the body, whether physical or astral. Their use is common in ritual magick. The following sets of signs were assigned by Aleister Crowley to the various Grades of his order, the A.'.A.'.. The first sets (the Neophyte, elemental grade signs and L.V.X. signs) were derived from the grade signs of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. Such signs often have multiple uses and meanings, depending on the context. Neophyte Signs

Common title: The Enterer. Horus. A.'.A.'. grade: 0°=0# Description: The Sign of the Enterer is performed by taking a step forward with the left foot, and then leaning the body forward while thrusting out with both hands, fingers outstretched, as if reaching for something.

CONCLUSION 4.11.09, my adventures have lead me deep into southern California. I work at a private airport as a federally licensed aircraft mechanic. Many actors, singers, and celebrities land their private aircraft here. I have enjoyed planes since I was about 5 years old. Now it provides money when the lottery money isn't. The pictures are not good quality, but I wanted to add them anyway. The area is beautiful, with palm trees everywhere, along with top grade jets, cars, and real estate. Nights are warm and days hot. But the feeling...the feeling is magical.

JULY 24, 2011: It's been a long time since the last update, I know. I'm trying to improve the organizational areas of myself. I've been overwhelmed with sudden changes in success, and I've had much more things to manage, including my own business. I hope you enjoy these updates.

I was awfully broke. I was out of work, and I needed funds to pay for very important bills. I cast a spell for money, because I had to. Three months had passed, then suddenly a strong wind of luck struck. Not too long after, money was pouring in. I was able to start my own business and start earning money on my own. The computer below is part of my internet cafe. It's been almost a year, and so far tthings have been going well for it. I could go out of business anytime in the near future, but I only strive for success without worrying about the rest. The money below consists of only $100's. You're welcome to count it. I truly hope to help you have a better life, even better than mine.
