Vampiric energy work has long been part of my spiritual practice and the way I interact with the energies around me. It aligns most closely with my own experience and interaction with human energetics. Something that has always been in the background, influencing the energy that flows through me. Over the years I have found certain plant allies with whom I share an affinity and recognize their connection to this way of working. Vampirism gets a negative connotation, however we can draw out disruptive energy and drain nasty spirits like none other. There is a reason ghosts never fully manifest around me, there is not usually enough ambient energy left in the environment. These formulas are a celebration of that vampiric side, and aid in some of the issues this kind of energy anatomy can lead to. They are also great for drawing energy and containing energy as well as supplementing the need for additional sources of energy. The vampire and the witch are two very closely related entities who share similar shadowy origins. You can find these formulas as well as other ritual supplies of a nocturnal and chthonic nature. #thenightsidecollection #chthonicsorcery #poisonpath #nephilimrising #demonolatry #darkhwrbalism #lefthandpath #occultherbalism #veneficium #ritualincense #ritualoils #poisonpath #thepoisonpath #sexmagic #luciferianwitchcraft #lefthandpath #shadowwork #sacredwhore #poisonpath #babalon #theredgoddess #darkherbalism #traditionalwitchcraft #veneficium #pharmakon (at Saint Petersburg, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXzIlFwLFbA/?utm_medium=tumblr

What is chthonic sorcery? Chthonic means subterranean or below the surface. Chthonios was used as an epithet for the underworld aspects of deities such as Hermes. Working with Underworld energies and the beings that reside there can mean different things to different practitioners. Subterranean spirits could be land spirits or ancestors, shades of the dead and elemental forces that dwell within the earth. Chthonic forces also consist of the powers of the night and the sub-lunar realm. This is a place of shadow and illusion, but not danger or evil. The forces here are of a darker nature because there is no sun there, only the dark fire of the black sun deep within the earth. Telluric currents, dragon lines and genii loci are are all tied to this realm. Ancestral knowledge and the collective sub-conscious of humanity can all be accessed through rituals of descent and Underworld journey. Many of the spirits that rule here are liminal and have access to other realms as well. A legion of infernal spirits each with their own area of speciality populate the chthonic realm who have answered the call of magicians for centuries. The Ars Goetia is the original chthonic sorcery with it’s origins in early Ancient Greece. Chthonic sorcery is the realm in which a practitioner works, just as some prefer the spirits of the forest or the sea others seek the darkness of the cave or the silence of the cemetery. I’m truth there is a chthonic aspect to all magic. The Underworld is the dark and fertile womb. It is where all life draws its nourishment. We are just as much influenced by the currents of the underworld as we are the celestial spheres.

On ritual entheogenic ritual fumigations- burnt offerings and fragrant woods and resins were some of the earliest and most ancient ways of connecting with the spirit world. Fire consumed the offering and was believed to multiply the strength of the offering by turning it to smoke. The pleasant (often only to spirits) aromas were the sustenance of the gods and the ancestors. Oftentimes various pharmaka would be throw on to the fires as well, the psychoactive plants would affect everyone in the vicinity “filling them with divinity.” Cannabis, opium, tobacco and a long list of fragrant resins have all been used for their entheogenic effects in ritual. Ceremonial magicians also make use of ritual fumigants contains psychoactive pharmaka as we see in recipes from the Sepher Raziel, The Book of Magic of Abramelin the mage and even in the legendary tales of Dr. Faustus. Smoke is often used in divination, whether as the medium to be interpreted, as a means for spirit manifestation or for its consciousness altering effects. Ritual fumigation a we’re not only used for divinatory purposes but also to summon and bind spirits to the magicians will. Folk witches take a slightly different approach as opposed to binding spirits we meet them on their own terms. Chris Bennet in Liber 420 Cannabis, magical herbs and the occult, mentions that Nostradamus also used different reflective surfaces for his prophesying and some of his quatrains suggest the use of psychoactive pharmaka. #pharmakon #poisonpath #pharmaka #pharmakeia #veneficium #ritualincense #ritualfumigation #nostradamus #divination #scrying #mirrorscrying #smokescrying #ceremonialmagic #poisonpath #entheogens https://www.instagram.com/p/CRVSvxJLyN-/?utm_medium=tumblr
