Celestial Events and Supernatural Rituals: Exploring Occult Practices and Their Significance

As a longtime paranormal investigator, my goal is to avoid any supernatural rituals if at all possible. However, over the past thirty-six years, I've come across several fascinating discussions and practices related to celestial events and their role in enhancing paranormal activities and influencing ritual casting.

Lunar and Solar Eclipses in Paranormal Practice

During lunar or solar eclipses, some Pagan and Wiccan groups believe that casting spells during these times can be exceptionally powerful or 'advanced.' This belief is not unique; many practitioners in these traditions also hold that, as I do, paranormal and ghost activities peak during these moments.

A recent investigation brought to my attention that solar eclipses can be particularly beneficial for removing harmful influences in a person's life through spell casting. On the other hand, lunar eclipses are said to enhance a person's psychic skills.

Paranormal Weather and Solar Activities

During a recent outing, I tested an app called ‘Paranormal Weather Activity’ by Mark Coultous. This app, which is loosely based on NASA and NOAA data, provides information on solar and solar flare activities. Not surprisingly, these solar activities are known to coincide with paranormal-like phenomena on Earth. Our paranormal team has observed an increase in activity during periods of heightened solar flare activity.

For everyone who might want to try this useful app, remember that it is straightforward and lacks extensive features, but it serves as an excellent tool for understanding the potential correlation between solar activities and paranormal occurrences.

The Role of Occult Practices in Ritual Casting

The occult is a system of magic deeply rooted in ancient and biblical traditions. Introduced by European templars in the early centuries AD, the occult was a subject of study that aimed to deceive the largely uneducated populace, particularly during the Middle Ages and Renaissance. Today, it continues to be explored, especially by those who study Hermetic Qabalah, a branch of the Kabbalah that blends occultism with philosophy.

The occult reached its zenith during the late Middle Ages and Renaissance, with the creation of numerous grimoires, such as the Key of Solomon, a text attributed to the 14th or 15th century, known for detailing various amulets associated with planets to combat enemy spirits and cast long-term spells. This text provides specific instructions for creating these amulets, detailing the materials, colors, angles, and rituals to be performed during different hours and days.

Modern Perspectives on Occult and Astrological Systems

The similarity between the occult and astrology is evident in the ‘Wizardology’ by Dugald Steer, a book that synthesizes various magical systems found in tales and legends, including those of the occult. Wizardology presents a table of attributes for each planet, similar to the Key of Solomon, but with a different approach. For instance, a moon amulet is instructed to have its planetary seal and symbol drawn on it, designed to transform, protect, and hide. The effective execution of this spell requires wearing the amulet on Mondays with silver clothes.

The book also provides insights into the metal (silver), gemstone (quartz), animal (dolphin), bird (hare), fairy or elf (undine), wood (willow), and plant (lily) associated with the moon amulet. These elements are crucial for enhancing the spell's effectiveness.

While the Key of Solomon and Wizardology present distinct approaches to magical spells and rituals, they share a common theme: the belief that certain celestial events and planetary alignments influence the power and success of these rituals.

Conclusion

In essence, the occult provides detailed guidelines for casting spells during specific hours and days, based on the celestial alignments. This concept has permeated modern magical practices, reflecting a blend of historical traditions and contemporary beliefs. Understanding these practices can offer valuable insights into the interplay between celestial events and supernatural phenomena.

If you're interested in learning more about these topics, there are numerous resources available, including books, apps, and online forums. Always approach these sources with an open but critical mind, and consider consulting with experienced practitioners.

Always remember: the key to any successful ritual lies not only in the celestial alignment but in the dedicated effort and intent of the practitioner.
