a few years ago I lived in a townhome apartment next to a family that had lost their little boy (8 months, the same age as my twins at the time) shortly before we moved in. they were just getting back from the funeral when we moved in. up until the neighbors moved out, my roommate and I (both magicians) would hear a "third baby" crying. all 3 of my children were silent whenever we heard the phantom cries. After listening to your experience it feels so validating to know that we aren't alone in hearing a ghost baby desperately seeking comfort.
so awesome.....I downloaded all of the Apprentice books in Dec. 2021 and never really focused on it....I have started over and am NOT Skimming...I love it so much and still can not believe how much she has given away for free that all these Tick Tockers and I-Gers have no idea of.
Thank you for this. When you guys talked about arbatel, it rang a bell. Remembered that i bought that book after it screamed ”take me” at me in an antiques shop 25 years ago. I’ve made sure to never lose it, through moving from place to place, different countries and back home, yet i’ve never dared to read it for some weird reason. (Or not. Not many books have told me to take them home with me over the years…) Took it out now and asked if and which part of it would serve my true nature and purpose. ”The 9th part”. Some googling later and turns out only the 1st part is left to history… Has anyone here looked it for in the realms?
I downloaded the parts of her Quareia course and started lesson 1, but I am concerned of the risk for getting involved with something like this. I'm gathering she is coming from the perspective that if you follow her course you will be contacting beings of other worlds and she doesn't seem to think it's all mental but indeed real entities. How safe is this? I find it interesting how so many Western Mystery Schools or Magick experts claim contact with other worldly beings. I used to think it was mainly personal enlightenment and personal power. Any thoughts?
Late reply, but I just found this podcast. I would say keep practicing and exploring meditation until you no longer get a feeling of angst, or fear, in regards to magick and the prospect of being contacted by otherworldly Beings. It may be the universe telling you, that you are not ready yet, but I don't really know. I only dabble, still I can see that Lesson 7 of Module 1 of the Quareia course deals with magical defense/protection, so it seems we're in good hands
Well, no, it's not safe - but neither is doing electrical wiring, or mountain climbing. That's why when you learn it, you also have to learn the safety skills that go along with it. Caution can be healthy. I'm sure you'll be fine however!
Josephine is like my Magickal soulmate. I would imagine we aren't actually compatible but she really is so much like me it's fuckin preposterous and fantastic!
I’m a problem skimmer. I have to constantly catch myself skimming and force myself to go back and read again, sometimes after hours of skimming. It’s a deeply annoying process for both the part of me that wants to skim as well as the part that is forced to play strict school marm.
I’m not wanting to be a twat, but in addition to listening with a skeptical ear i also listen with my body (heart, gut, intuition). Listening only through the mind gives partial understanding. What that JM said set your alarm bells ringing?
I wonder if the magic of the next generation of fast beings she asks us to speculate about could not have something to do with the kind of trance like states that come not from silencing and quietness of mind like meditation, oration, etc. of traditional visionary magic; but rather of the ecstatic kind of trance that could come from traditions like sacred dancing or movement of sorts. As a fast being myself with a Stellium in Aries, I've also felt things that give space for many random and spontaneous occurrences or thoughts, like long random walks to power sites through unknown routes, can be very powerful. Anything that includes physical exhaustion can help with visionary states for fast-natured people, and walking combines that with lots of space for introspection ant mind quieting at the same time. Traditional religious pilgrim routes can be used like that and often hold ancient accumulated power.

I keep coming back to this to listen again and again, isn't she wonderful?
Thats so beautiful - Josephine singing to the ghost baby. Such a treat Gordon and Josephine together - thank you!
I love listening to her I could listen to her for hours.

I enjoy JM's writings. Deep, well thought out and she practices, she doesn't just 'learn.' I'm particularly fond of her Visionary Magic teachings.

Donations are welcome, but not requested 🙏

Great thank you 😊
Super podcast !!
I would have liked to know if her sister recovered from the accident.
She did... it took a long time but she did.
Thank you so much for this podcast, it is my favourite in all categories :-)
What is the name of the Grimoire talked about from 55 min and onwards...
the Arbatel
I just came here from the podcast on Spotify to ask the same thing. Thanks for already asking. Ordered. I’m extremely curious.

Glenn グレン I like your advice. Emotions are our compass to guide our path I believe. The Angst and fear are road signs to keep walking for now.

I did my research and found that Healing with form, light, and energy in the Buddhist tradition is a better fit, at least for me.
@@androsislandrox Could you give me some examples?

😊
Good stuff.
What pdf?
What is the spelling of the grimiore mentioned at about 55 minutes in?
See www.quareia.com/adept-module-4
I heard a lot of my life story in her story, except i never took a crying baby ghost across a river, and to leave them, ha, thats a great idea! :]
By the way, a glitches out as she's giving her websites out at the end.
Thou must not skim
precisely...... universal rule number I
I’m a problem skimmer.
I have to constantly catch myself skimming and force myself to go back and read again, sometimes after hours of skimming.
It’s a deeply annoying process for both the part of me that wants to skim as well as the part that is forced to play strict school marm.
Does no one here listen with a skeptical ear?
Try it and find out! If it's not appealing to you then that's that.
I’m not wanting to be a twat, but in addition to listening with a skeptical ear i also listen with my body (heart, gut, intuition). Listening only through the mind gives partial understanding.
