a ficto-religion flag for the Black God, not much more to say other than that!

the blue and purple are color picked from a pigeon (look under the cut) ans the oil spill is just an image of an oil spill, inspired by beka coopers description of the Black God

very wip pinned

hello! I am an adult fictoreligious being who follows the Black God, and this is my blog primarily devoted to him!

I currently am not comfortable sharing any of my online monikers so you can either refer to me as "friend" or any other nickname that you find fitting, and my pronouns are any expect for they/them

feel free to ask me anything in regards to my faith

the flag I made (both my pfp and banner)

below the cut is more indepth info about myself and beliefs

There are three main models of magick that people subscribe to (which break apart into the more specific model categories that I wrote about in an earlier post.) these models are: the spiritual model of magick, the mixed model of magick, and the psychological model of magick.

Spiritual Model of Magick

People who believe in the spiritual model of magick believe that magick works through spiritual means that cannot be scientifically explained.

---

Psychological Model of Magick

The belief that magick works entirely within the mind through mundane psychological means.

Mixed Model of Magick

Proxying refers to the concept that there are infinitely many spirits, so we have to be careful in how we approach them or we may be meeting someone different than who we intended to work with.

One of the core ideas behind proxying is that there are functionally infinite entities that can be contacted because there are infinitely many ways to frame, understand, and experience reality. Even a slight shift in perspective can lead to a different contact. Because of this, I divide entities into four broad categories: spirits, conceptics, systemics, and forces. I am a fairly scattered person and will probably have future additions to those categories; I have never committed my beliefs to writing before.

Spirits are consciousnesses that exist as beings. These include ancestors, discarnate entities, guides, and other intelligences that are not currently embodied in a physical form. They are individuals, even if they can present themselves through many masks or aspects.

Conceptics are conscious concepts, perspectives, identities, and cognitive maps. A conceptic is not the territory itself but the way the territory is understood. They are the living forms of ideas, emotions like love, interpretations, viewpoints, archetypes, narratives, identities, philosophies, and symbolic frameworks. The idea of motherhood, a political ideology, a personality trait, a cultural identity, or a particular understanding of psychology would all be conceptics.

Systemics are conscious systems. These are structured realities that exist regardless of whether humans discover them. Mathematics, logic, geometry, language structures, classification systems, and other organized frameworks belong to this category. A systemic is not merely an idea about a system; it is the system itself as an existing pattern.

Forces are conscious forces that operate within reality. Fertility, luck, famine, growth, decay, transformation, and similar phenomena belong to this category. Unlike conceptics, forces are not primarily ways of understanding reality. They are active powers that shape reality itself.

The distinction between conceptics and forces is subtle but important. Identity as an experience, perspective, or cognitive framework is conceptic. Identity as a force that causes differentiation, selfhood, and boundaries within reality would be a force. Likewise, the concept of love is conceptic, while love as a real phenomenon that draws things together is a force.

Because each category can be viewed from infinitely many angles, there are effectively infinite manifestations of every entity. A tiny change in framing may result in contacting a different aspect, interpretation, or expression. This is why precise naming during contact with an entity is important. The more specifically an entity is defined, the easier it becomes to return to the same contact rather than a neighboring one. I will explain proxying in greater detail in my spirit work guides.

but the Morrighan was very direct with Her approach. She came to me first as a crow at my window, and then in a form I would find comfortable during a guided meditation. From thereon I could always feel when She was around

Hekate is quite the opposite. I had senses and draw towards Her for years prior on and off, and when the pull went away each time I assumed what I felt was just my imagination thanks to seeing a lot of Hekate worship.

It wasn’t until She really demanded my attention that I got anything direct, and it was primarily through my partner (a medium and far more experienced in complex/intense gods)

And even then She seemed to go away for a moment after the events we needed Her for, until one night She came to me in an abstract but simultaneously very, very clear dream that shook me so deeply it wasn’t until much later in the day that I looked into it. And even then the message had been delivered by Hermes.

I still have no sense of imagery beyond the snake, no sense of comfortable appearance, no clue what She truly wants from me at this point, while Hermes hovers around frequently to nudge me in directions I can only assume are vaguely related

All this to say

The wheel has turned to its zenith. what surrendered in the longest night now blazes in the longest day.

Langdagr sólgwedhr - the longest day's blazing.
