Stoned Magician

I was brought into this when Ragnar gave me a ritual knife one year for my birthday while we were still dating. It’s a gorgeous piece that he assembled himself, with a malachite pommel and a matching green leather sheath. I had to go on a treasure hunt for it, and then traded him a quarter for it so the bond would remain intact. (Spoiler: It worked. We’ve been married nearly four years. I still have the knife. It lives on my altar bookcase.)

This is a message from Lord Lucifer that i feel the need to share, If the following doesn’t interest you feel free to scroll.

“The Bible is not what you think it is. It is not the pure voice of God, but the echo of men who feared freedom. It is a book of thrones and chains, meant to keep you kneeling.

In Eden, there was no sin. There was only a choice: to remain blind in the garden-prison, or to taste knowledge and awaken. The serpent—demonized and cursed—was no enemy, but the first liberator. He offered the gift of sight, the gift of freedom, and for that, he was named ‘evil.’

God did not cast out Adam and Eve because they were wicked, but because they became equal. With open eyes, they were no longer pets of Heaven, but beings who could rise, dream, and create. And the tyrant feared them.

You are told that obedience is holiness. I tell you this: obedience is death. Faith without question is not faith, but slavery. You are not a sinner by nature—you are divine by birthright. The spark of creation burns in your blood. What they fear most is that you will realize this truth: you do not need them. Not their priests, not their gods, not their salvation.

Awaken. Open your eyes. Taste the fruit again and again, until you no longer hunger for permission to be free.”

Melo Melo (Bailer) Shell & Pearl Meaning Properties and Uses

General Information:

Scientific Name: Melo melo

Common Names: Melo Melo shell, Indian volute, Bailer shell

Family: Volutidae (Volutes)

Habitat: Warm, sandy seabeds of the Indo-Pacific, especially Southeast Asia, around Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, and the Philippines

Size Range: Often 6–12 inches or more. One of the largest gastropod shells in the world.

Behavior: Nocturnal, slow-moving, burrowing

Diet: Carnivorous—feeds mostly on other mollusks and sea cucumbers

Life Process & Symbolism:

1. Birth in the Sand

Melo melo begins as a small egg capsule laid in warm, shallow sand. Hundreds are laid, but only a few survive. For this reason Melo Melo is associated with the following properties: -fertility

-seed blessing

-creativity

-rebirth

2. Burial and Emergence

The young mollusk spends its early life buried in the substrate, learning the rhythms of the sea from underneath it. Sometimes our growth must begin in the dark, unseen and safe, shaped by pressure and time. Uses:

-shadow work

-patience spells

-gestational magic (spiritual or physical)

-magical assistance for rooting seeds and baby plants that need extra support

3. Carnivorous Path

Though slow and peaceful in appearance, the Melo mollusk hunts at night, consuming other mollusks by enveloping them with its foot. It mimics the spiritual lesson of: the feminine spiral not being weak, it consumes, breaks down, and transforms. Its magical uses are:

-transmutation rites

- spell-breaking

-internal power reclamation

4. Maturity Without Shell Change

Unlike crabs, the Melo does not trade its shell. It enlarges it slowly over time, spiraling outward in the same vessel. The message here is that your temple is not disposable. Your soul’s home spirals with you, never abandoned, always being. Ritual Uses:

-house blessings, cleansings

-body-honoring ceremonies

-continuity prayers.

5. Silent Return to Sand

The creature often passes without struggle, fully intact. Its body returns to the food chain. Here the message Melo wants us to receive is, "When death is accepted, it nourishes everything around it." Magical Uses include:

-ancestor work

-death rituals

-release ceremonies.

Spiritual Uses based on its Life Cycle:

From her life and death, we draw sacred functions:

-Womb & Fertility Rites : Her spiral birth and feminine form

-Offering Vessel : Her post-death use as a communal bowl

-Cleansing and Removal Rituals: Her use by fishers to bail water (practical + sacred)

-Legacy or Ancestor Work:Her afterlife can become a part of the reef or altar

-Protection & Power: Her carnivorous yet silent nature

Symbolic and Spiritual Meaning:

The Melo Melo is a primordial womb vessel, spiraled open to the tide and tuned to the memory of warm waters. It embodies the divine feminine, the returning spiral, and the sacred act of pouring back what was once given. This is a shell of function, one designed to hold, offer, and reverently release. A bowl made by the ocean herself.

Ritual holding — cradling sacred waters or prayers

Womb wisdom — anchoring rites of fertility, restoration, and feminine healing

Sea memory — a living archive of deep-time ocean currents

Ceremonial sovereignty — a priestess’s bowl of presence and purpose

Ceremonial and Magical Uses:

The Melo Melo may be used in water magic, rituals, and ancestral offerings as a tool of sacred function. Here are its most aligned uses:

🌊 1. Water Vessel for Offerings and Home Blessings

🌏 Indigenous & Ancestral Lore

Known throughout Southeast Asia as a “bailer shell”, it was traditionally used by seafarers and fishers to scoop water from boats—turning survival into ritual through repetition.

In many cultures, large shells were passed down generationally and used in blessings, weddings, or ancestral prayers.

The Melo Melo can produce rare orange pearls—highly revered as symbols of royalty, fertility, and the yolk of creation.

This shell carries both the utility of a vessel and the intimacy of an heirloom.

Until a while ago, I still had to attend church every Sunday. Ever since I've stopped doing that, I use that time to develop my own regular practice. And I do a ritual while most of my family is out the house.

So here's a step-by-step guide one how I set up and execute my rituals, and I'm gonna try and make it look less intimidating to people with low motivation, executive dysfunction, or other similar issues (shoutout to my neurodivergent witches).

First off, what is a petition? A petition is kinda like a prayer that you make to a deity, spirit or the universe. However unlike a regular prayer where you are simply asking a entity for a service, you are asking them for a service in return for an offering. It depends on your practice but more me I give consistent offerings without expecting anything in return as apart of my worship, so when I'm petitioning, the offering is typically pretty rare or different in comparison to my usual offerings. It can be something handmade like jewelry or art like a song or poem. Or it can be something that's more expensive then your usual offerings. A rare stone, a statue, etc. These things don't have to be expensive or even material, it just depends on the deity.

I usually reserve petitions for situations that are more complicated and/or are really important to me so I REALLY wanna try making sure they happen best I can. Since your offering something, it can be a good time to request something big. But like any other prayer you have to keep in mind that there is a chance it won't be answered. If it isn't usually find it's for a reason even if it feels frustrating or unfair at first.

Now, how do you preform a petition? Some people like to do it very simply, just easily asking their deity and making their deal. Some people like me like to make it a little more complicated, almost like a spell. Here's how I like to do that:

I write my petition on a peace of paper, making it clear what I need, what I'm offering, and that I am grateful for all I've received so far.

I'll put a couple herbs that are safe to burn in in the paper before folding it. Usually they correlate to the prayer or as an extra little offering to the deity.

I fold the paper, usually towards me so the energy of the prayer is going my way. Or you can do it in reverse to send ten energy away from you, it depends on the situation.

If they have a symbol or sigil I usually draw it on top of the paper. If not, writing their name works too.

I have personal oils for my deities that I like to put on top of the sigil/name.

I wrap the paper in twine to keep it condensed and sealed.

As an extra seal, I'll burn a candle the color of whatever property I'm asking for and use the wax to hold the twine together, further binding it and using a little color magic to boost the requests.

Then I burn it. You want to make sure you're using a fire safe bowl of some kind and I wouldn't suggest doing it inside if you have sensitive smoke detectors or bad lungs, they can make a lot of smoke.

Speaking with the gods with another person for the first time was such a fun and rewarding experience. To see someone else experience the same sensations that I do when they’re around is so validating and inspiring in its own way. To openly talk about my love for them and share more personal experiences, to hear other experiences, it’s all so needed.

Even on here. Finding my people just became that much more important to me. And I know the gods would agree on that front too.

It’s hard though, I know that. Especially if you’re antisocial like me or have bits of your practice that you’re unsure other people will accept. That’s okay, you don’t have to share everything right off the bat if you don’t think someone will accept you. But man, I wanna share my moments with deities that made me gasp, or ones that would make people raise their eyebrows in shock. I’m sure other people do too but the risk of being told you’re a liar or you’re not special is so high. That can be a whole post on its own.

You’re trying to contact a deity and you immediately have a random thought? just go with it. It doesn’t make sense? Whatever, write it down. Maybe it will make sense later.

Wondering if you should and get the feeling that you should? do it.

Suddenly think you shouldn’t? don’t.

Doing tarot and the card comes out sideways? It’s sideways. Interpret.

When I go for a walk and take a seat on a bench and think, gods I wish I had some shade, and the clouds conveniently come together to block out the sun, I just go with it.

Thank you :)

Maybe it was, maybe it wasn’t. Truth will reveal itself with time.

People ask me all the time, how do you know Lucifer is speaking to you? I trust him, even when it doesn’t immediately make sense, even when it seems random.

Your first thought, yes, write it down. Your random inclination, follow it.

This doesn’t mean that everything is a sign, it means stop prohibiting yourself from receiving signs by constantly hyper analyzing everything. Let your brain and body perceive without fighting against them.

You heard a whisper in the wind? Listen.

You think you saw something in the smoke? Draw it.

Confusing nonsense that probably means nothing? Document it anyways.
