What does it mean to be a wizard?
Anonymous 01/19/25(Sun)21:40:49 | 70 comments | 11 images
I've been recently trying to get into the mindspace of being a wizard, from the esoteric knowledge, to the looks and everything. Deep down i know that i am but a fool pursuing frivolities, but i cannot help but shake the "wanting to know more" out of me. I need to know more about things and practice my craft, but is that even possible in this day and age? Wizards did not just think up of everything themselves, but where did they start? How were they taught? What were they taught?
What do you think it means to be a wizard?

Everything changes if you have The Dream. There’s a certain one that some of us have. Wizard is just a word. Magus is a position that goes beyond the material.

I understand better the concept than the words. Yes, I have the dream, a vision, of what may be and what I want, but i need more alone time. I don't know if i should be where I am right now, mentally and physically. There's too many people but at the same time, I need them. catch 22

What does one study? is it something like pre-modern psychology? take a look at shamanistic tendencies between native american and siberian tribes, they were the first healers and take this role after having gone through something themselves, healing, then helping others through that. I believe magic like that branches from shamanic magicks and healing rituals of old.

If you can’t be alone then it’s okay to wait until you have your own space. It might take years. Your goal is better than some who can buy a mansion just to turn it into their personal goon cave. I believe in you. And I know you will achieve the great work if you dedicate yourself to it.

psychs can be a great start to the path of enlightenment, it triggers your natural curiosity response which the system has drained out of you through years of labor of both mind body and spirit, it's no joke when they say the matrix has you.
Everything is just Anubis' eternal loosh farm desu imho one hunna

Whatever you want it to mean. A wizard is simply someone magically-capable, it has no bearing on anything other than capability. And quite frankly, even actual ability is optional if one can fake it hard enough. What makes somebody a wizard is that they claim to be a wizard.
>>39673054
Memes aside, I wonder if for others it takes the form of an entity giving you the option to exit your chains or not.

>I wonder if for others it takes the form of an entity giving you the option to exit your chains or not.
I came to a realization that I shouldn’t exit for now. My life has some importance to it. I was given help in realizing who I am from something that may have been or not been human but took the shape as human. A man to be precise, who after unveiling some of the ignorance surrounding him, made me realize he was my spiritual guide. Perhaps a holy guardian angel? I’m not sure. It was a very relaxed dream. He had a down to earth demeanor for being something more than human. I reviewed my purpose here on earth and came to an understanding of what I need to do. Not necessarily a step by step process but a general understanding of what I signed up for. Derailment is still possible. So being careful even after being briefly enlightened is an important consideration.

I’m not sure. My dream was an odd one for sure. I even posted about it here after it happened. I was in a desert but eventually found “home base”. This is where my soul resides with some others. I reviewed something like a soul contract which clearly stated I was on Earth to become a magus. The feeling I had about the home base was it was where I go to wait until my next journey. The feeling was nice. There was soft high vibrational music there as well. It would be cool to go back but I think it’s better to love my life out and fulfill my obligations here or else there would be some fixable but bad consequences for me and others.

It's all in the name. The old Phoenician method of extrapolating from words.
Wizard.
The most prominent powers given to the longest word you can spell from a given title. Easily looked up in a dictionary.
Wizard.
Ward.
Draw.
Raw.
War.
etc etc
Then secondary priority to words that can be sounded and guessed at but not spelt.
Wizard.
Wiz - Wisdom
Ard - Arduous
Zard - Lizard, Blizzard, Gizzard (This is a special one because it ties into the word itself and ropes other powers in.)

Wizard itself has a spelling. Most wizards themselves don't realise it. That they themselves, are The Ritual. To be born under the sign of The Ritual is also a reckoning for most people around them, because they are destined to change their fates. Ahriman. Dark Hero. Holder of The Crystal Black. Only darkness can change the ebb and flow of it's weaving, because only darkness can be certain. Understand? The paradoxical nature of fate, is that somewhere, someone out there, must know his or her own.

>Wizards did not just think up of everything themselves,
No, but their natural curiosity and blend of intuition and using available knowledge makes them more likely to come to answers. A wizard also isn't an engineer or a librarian. They bring something into the world in ways you can't fathom.
>but where did they start?
today, yesterday, sometime. Where a thought there's away if you summon the will.
>How were they taught? What were they taught?
there isn't just one way to the ends you seek.

Indeed, but they can be both, and that, makes for a horrific and terrifying triad. However, I took it one step even further. After all. My favorite chess move is the "Foursquare of Kings". It is time my dear boy. To bring this entire world, kicking and screaming, into the twenty first century!

you wouldn't need contracts for work you'd volunteer for no? Why was that necessary at all? The groups I've dealt with and deal with did away with contracture and simply refuse to work with you if you're the type who needs to be reminded and pointed towards paperwork to figure out what the ostensible right course of action is.
That said contracts are very helpful when you start to have to deal with more rotten or self serving people.

I felt the same way, just never needed a contract to begin with. If something resonates with you then it resonates. Happened a few times in life. I remember once I was in a "good" place and I felt I couldn't just stay there and had to do something important. They said it would be no problem and they once xyz they'd let me leave this world at will to continue whatever I was doing there.
>consequences that will affect many people in big and small ways.
amen, during my unfortunate (to some) awakening I managed to break out some spirit who was very wounded and in a bad spot. I'm talking multiple lifetimes of being off the beaten path. I managed to get them to safety somehow, but I'll never forget how dazed and confused they were and the time it took before that spirit felt like they were at ease again. Even a simple ethereal navigator on earth can make differences big and small, because a good heart in a good place multiplies a plenty.

I have a weird and creepy story, but it is not something I do on purpose, so I am not sure how it all works, but it does make me question things. When I finished high school, a muslim guy asked me if he could borrow my notes from maths, and I just said yes, because he had always been nice to me, so I figured I would get them back, because he had promised me to give them back to me. After some time he said he had lost the notes, and when I got upset, he asked me if 'I was going to be angry like a girl'. I just deleted him from Facebook, because I was not gonna fight someone over my notes from maths.

Then I moved to another town, and around 2016 I made a character in an online game I called Inaiah. Not because I knew it meant anything, it was just the backwards spelling of what I had called another character. I have later found out that Inaiah is a quranic name for girls. I used the character as a way to earn gold passively for another character. I chopped elder trees, always going the route Varrock-Edgeville-Yanille, and I did farm runs, always farming kwuarms and limpwurt roots. I made that character around 2016, while I was also on forums where I read about nazi things, holocaust, politics, religion, history, etc. Then around 2018 some people suddenly started making me paranoid by stalking me and doing all kinds of weird things, and thats when I started noticing things.

I had just got a job where I some days spent all day hammering. It was all when the first Trump campaign was going on.
At Varrock I come by some dark wizards and a chaos altar, at Edgeville I come by Adolpho, a barbarian with a warhammer, and at Yanille I come by some ogres who are described as 'large dim looking humanoids' if you examine them.
Then covid happened, and most of the people who died from covid were old people - I always chopped elder trees. Prince Philip is a freemason and he died during covid on Windsor Castle, and he has said that he would like to be reincarnated as a deadly virus. I have a ventilator in my bathroom that has Windsor written on it. Freemasons have a motto - 'ordo ab chao' - and I came by dark wizards and a chaos altar at Varrock. Just a lot of weird coincidences.

On the same character I always did farm runs where I farmed kwuarms and limpwurt roots. In reality I got warts while I lived on a farm with pigs, which is weird, because hogwarts. Welcome to Hogwarts, I am farming kwuarm limpwurt roots. In islam djinns are described as something segregated and hidden, that is thought to be responsible for diseases. I was 'segregated' early because my parents split up and I stopped coming to school etc when I was a teen. Just a lot of weird coincidences, but nothing I do on purpose, so I am not sure how it works. Another weird thing that happened a few years before I was 'jumped' by people who made me paranoid, was that the monkeys from a nearby zoo had crawled out of their cage while I was canoeing with my brocher. They sat in the trees above us and threw sticks at us. Then we go up on the store to grill, when a mouse comes up to us, like it was tame. Then a woman came and said something like 'weird that the mouse is coming up to you', and then she took the tame mouse.

You don't choose to be shamanic, some of it comes down to your bloodline, and the majority is caused by the divine. One event in your life will start the snowball, and you will just need to let it roll.
Think of life as a journey, you may need to be a warrior, prisoner, wanderer, or something of this nature to gain insight into your spiritual path.
Give me your birthday, I am curious of your blood, and can give a little guidance depending on certain factors like wind and fire of your birth.

>The audience of Picatrix differed from that of many other medieval occult texts as well, for its anonymous author states repeatedly that it is solely intended for the use of members of a particular profession of his time. The Latin text gives that profession the title sapiens; we have translated it "sage," but there is another English word perhaps even better suited to the connotations the author had in mind: "wizard."
>It is too rarely remembered that legendary figures such as Merlin, and their fictional equivalents such as J.R.R. Tolkien's Gandalf the Grey, reflect an authentic medieval phenomenon: the freelance occultist-scholar whose stock
in trade was as much useful advice as magical powers, and who aspired—and very occasionally rose—to the position of councilor to kings. The author of Picatrix conveniently lists the qualifications for a sapiens in Book IV,
chapter 5; they include a good working knowledge of the following topics: agriculture, seafaring, and politics; the military sciences; "the civilized arts by which people are helped," including grammar, languages, law, rhetoric,
writing, and economics; the four traditional branches of mathematics—arithmetic, geometry, astronomy, and music; logic, with the works of Aristotle specifically singled out for study; medicine; the natural sciences, and metaphysics, with Aristotle's writings on these two subjects again specifically referenced.

>From a modern perspective, this very demanding curriculum may seem irrelevant to the work of a professional wizard. From within the worldview of the Middle Ages and Renaissance, it was essential. Whether he was earning a modest living by casting horary divinations in a marketplace or leading a privileged life in a royal court, a wizard's job was to provide sound advice to his clients. That advice would draw inspiration from astrology or one of the other scholarly methods of divination practiced at the time, such as geomancy, but it would also be informed by a broad education in very nearly the entire body of useful knowledge that had survived the decline and fall of the Roman world.
>Nor, of course, did anyone in the Middle Ages or Renaissance perceive the sort of rigid barrier between occult sciences, such as astrology, and practical sciences, such as mathematics, that modern industrial cultures consider self-evident. As Arthur Lovejoy usefully pointed out many years ago in The Great Chain of Being, medieval and Renaissance cultures understood the cosmos to be a unity, bound together by connections and influences extending from the throne of God above the heavens to the deepest recesses of matter. The arts and sciences had their own proper place in that cosmos, and each branch of human knowledge, however humble or exalted, cast a distinctive light on all the others. Thus the sapiens, the sage or wizard of the medieval world, took all human knowledge as his province and applied it to the challenging task of providing sound guidance to his clients in a troubled and often brutal world.

That reminds me of the psychic surgery some DMT users receive. Were all the people in your dream human looking?

Not OP, but what can you say about me?
Born 31st of March 1999 at 03:36 am
(The number 336 haunts me on a daily basis, It usually appears when i have a dilema and come to the right conclusion then i see the number as a sort of confirmation ''it's the right choice'' type shit)

You are a bringer of death, your life is signified by the suffering you will go through. Your alchemical process involves using the fire under your navel to boil the water in your body, creating rain. 336 signifies the process you will go through: 3=suffering of the lower soul+3=6 rising to reclaim the lost fragments+6=12=1+2=3 suffering more, this life cycle should be dedicated to burning your karma to ascend in the next. Great news if you want to be a shaman. Your life is holds rainclouds above your head, you need to learn to stop raining on yourself, as this affects the people around you aswell. The boiling of the water will help you control your rain.

Fuck me man just look at your digits.
I'm trying my best to educate myself, i'm studying the hermetic law. I no longer live in constant fear and agony, but it would be nice to at least retain some memories from this cycle into the next to avoid doing the same shit again, are you aware of any sources or methods regarding transferring memory between cycles? I know that establishing the ego, the ''I AM'' of me will help with that but anything else that might work as a ''memory insurance''?

>where they human looking
They were. There were multiple people in the dream. All had individual faces and voices. I remember going back with my master and meeting some other people at his base in the desert. One woman said to me, “welcome back”. I knew who and what she was. I knew who most of them were. There was a new soul there. A girl. She was learning to levitate.

Magic mushrooms strengthen the soul, however, don't do it if you aren't mentally ready. You need spiritual protection against negative deities, or they will inhabit you.
If you do mushrooms, or any type of meditation, call upon what you want. Phrasing is key so you don't get fucked over, so choose the structuring of sentences carefully, write it down then recite it.
"I call upon the divine and eternal light of truth and love, and any of those who follow its divine plan, to guide me in this journey I am to take, and allow me to remember what you are to tell me."
This is also good to say before you go to bed, and this may not apply to you, but taking Elderberry syrup before bed causes dreams.
Memory insurance, it's tricky to ensure anything as it all relies on the next incarnation of you to remember, which is sort of counter intuitive.
This of something similar may work, so give it a go: Lay down in bed and imagine you are yourself but just the soul, focus on certain phrases in the context of wanting to research them, hold this with as much energy as you can, then let it go. This may cause you to remember at a point in time that matches that in the future. There was a time I had woken up in the middle of the night, so I had been cursing the false moon, then all of a sudden a message in my head beamed clear "Agrippas battle with Pontius" this made me research.
Also another thing, be careful with mushrooms if you need cannabis to cope with things. After mushrooms I could never smoke cannabis without hallucinating, after all I was communing with khanubis, the chaos. The chaos is not bad, it created this world in play, and loves it so that it didn't want to destroy it to rebuild it with love. Yet the hate has outweighed love, and it is time to reset. You dont need to struggle to ascend as long as you have love in your heart, your soul will still be saved and incarnated into a beautiful world you can choose to inhabit or ascend. Suffering is soon so have fun now

Astrology is the bedrock on which upon all magic is founded upon so renaissanceastrology by Chris Warnock is your best bet. Also look up Clifford Low. Magic is a practical art, as much as being a blacksmith, and requires similar training, despite the perception is today of magic being a metaphor and something that occurs entirely in your head.

Thank you for your answer, I've tried mushrooms a few years back(I learned how to grow them myself because I'm an autist and incapable of interacting with dealers at that point in time) took 5g on an empty stomach for my fist time, let's just say that I could have started with lower doses but still one of my best and worst nights at the same time. I know I need to go within, there is only so much that outside help will do, especially since there is a language barrier(I know that mushrooms help with this because you use telepathy instead of words but it feels to me like playing with fire) When it comes to dreams ever since childhood i have no problem with recolecting them or being semi lucid on a regular basis, but i'll try out the Elderberry syrup for a little boost. Every nightmare that I ever had always has the same scenario which is basicly ''loss of identity''. I remember every single one, for example when i was 6 i had a dream in which a group of men were changing children into black wolves/dogs. I managed to avoid them and started running towards my family's apartment, but when i got there the door to our place was simply not there, just a building and a blank wall where doors used to be, it's like me or my family never existed, no evidence to us ever living there. I guess I'm living my nightmare, lost my memory from lives before and that's fine I grew thick skin with time but I would love to avoid the rough childhood in the next cycle, skip the whole running blind and deaf for the first 25 years of my life.

You won't need to suffer in the next life, this one will make you suffer as much as is needed.
Your fear for loss of identity and dreams may be a warning that something is latched on to you that is eating your experiences. Invoke divine protection and tarot read for your spirit, soul, mind, and body. Then the spirit, soul, mind, and body of the one protecting you. Then the same for the one destroying you. Banish it, they are trying to have you fight mindlessly in the end times for you, as you have strong spiritual potential. My right arm will be devoured by one of those wolves you speak of. Invoke protection every night before you sleep
