Hi, I wanted to ask since you seem to know what you're doing. I'm not confident in my pendulum skills as I feel like it only tells me what I want to hear and I don't have tarot cards. I was wondering if you knew I'd there was a more definitive, trustworthy way of asking yes or no questions?

I want to communicate with my guides and ask them things but I really don't have a reliable way of asking, any help would be appreciated.

hii!!! i usually cleanse my pendulum with incense before using it to clear it from any negative energies, and before asking it questions i call upon my spirit guides and higher self with the intention "i call upon my spiritual team and higher self only, for the highest good of all, please come through and help me find the truth" and then i keep my pendulum steady with my dominant hand, and holding it a few centimeters away from my other palm, i start asking questions i already know like "are my eyes black? is my hair blue? am i wearing red?" just to calibrate it and see if it gives me the right answers, then I start asking the real questions and voilà, the job is done 🕊️

UA here, I’m not very sure. I’ve always been able to just tap in and out of the astral realms. My mother says it’s because I’m made of the stars so it’s easy to leave this fleshy meat suit and crawl into the heavens/astral realms. I just kinda, sit/lay down, tell myself I’m ready to fly and I do. It can be a bit scary and I deffo don’t recommend others to do so with out first learning how to protect their energies and how to properly come in and out of AP, but it is fun to do. I actually-🐛🦋

That is sure interesting!

Just pick a god, make an offering, and start praying. It's not that big a deal.

The people of ancient times who worshipped these gods from cradle to grave didn't wait around for them to reach out first, that's for historically sure.

Shadow work - Chair technique 🪑

I thought about this yesterday, while I was having a conversation with @sonofreddoinverno and He reminded me the existence of this technique.

I thought this could be useful somehow...

Shadow work ain't something easy. Looking into ourselves isn't always nice, especially when we've been avoiding it for a while.

In psychology there's something called "projection", to sum up: is the act of projecting something we don't like about ourselves on another person. This will cause a negative feeling towards the person we project on, instead of ourselves. By doing this, our brain protects our self-esteem and our sense of internal coherence. (Keep this info in your mind a little, I'm about to get to the point)

Most of the people tend to solve this in an "abstract way" with meditation, for example. But since we're not all the same...this technique is something more physical, It require a lil bit of..."trusting the process".

Take a chair, place it in front of you.

Focus. Imagine a person sitting on that chair (Yourself or someone else).

You're going to have a dialogue, talk about events/things you need to work on/things you don't like about someone, or even yourself. Whatever you think your shadow work needs to be. Project everything you have on that person on the chair. Ask for explanations, say your needs at loud...

Now you're going to change your pov, sit on the other chair and reply to yourself.

End the practice when you feel like you've had enough.

Take it easy, cause you're going to be at ease only after a while, it may be really weird at the beginning.

After you get used to it you may start to perceive that chair in a different way (example: it might become hot/cold/far/near etc.). Try to pay attention to how you feel because that is going to be one of the hints to work on, find an explanation to your feelings.

It's not over yet...

After every time you practice this... you're going to feel in a certain way... sometimes relieved, sometimes not so good.

Write it down, read it, give yourself an interpretation and choose the next step to take

Good luck ✨

Hi Hannah, do you also know your identity in the other realm?

Which other realm?

There’s an infinite number of realms and an infinite number of realities that we are each living in simultaneously lol.

I know my identity in a few of them and I know what my light body looks like. Is there a specific realm in particular you were curious about?

Doubts

Hey guys! So I've rewritten this post about 5 times but I think it's now exactly how I want it to be. Keep in mind that this post is about my personal journey with doubts and how I overcame this hurdle and my opinions on how to overcome it yourself. Take what resonates with you and I hope this helps you 💗 I also apologize about how long it is, I really tried to make it shorter 🥺

The purpose of this post is make you stop doubting the void. It's going to be split into 4 parts:

1. My Own Personal Journey and How I Dealt with Doubts (This section is to share my journey since a lot of people found comfort in knowing that I also struggled with doubts and was still able to enter the void and also show how I personally overcame it)

2. Stop Spiraling into Doubt/Importance of Identifying Triggers (This section is to highlight the importance of identifying and reducing spiraling with doubts)

3. Proof Portfolio (You can find a lot of research backing up the void here)

4. The Real Truth about Doubting the Void (A little recap, a little secret, and some encouragement)

My Journey

I think the best place to start this post is with my own journey just so you guys know that this post isn't just me preaching randomly, but what I've learned from my own experiences.

I learned about the void state when it first started to gain popularity through Angel's (@divineangelbee) blog. Prior to this, I was in the subliminal community and had spent a few days scrolling through r/nevillegoddard and loatumblr. When I came across Angel's post about the void, I was so intrigued and excited. I think we all know the appeal of the void state. This state that you can easily enter and have any desire of yours instantly granted. I was stuck in really hard life situations before and this just seemed like a dream come true. I wanted to learn more.

Other blogs began to pop up talking about the void and I also did my own research. I found out that the void state was documented even before Neville, was present in multiple religions, was a common experience amongst the meditation community, etc. I began to grow more and more excited. It was real!

I began documenting my journey on tumblr on a previous blog and attempting the void myself, although it wasn't as easy as all the blogs said it would be. However, I didn't lose hope and was willing to fail a few times if that meant I was going to get all my desires. I also really liked to read success stories because I felt like they motivated me. However, I started noticing some things about a few success stories. People saying they manifested a gazillion dollars or saying they're dating a celebrity sp when their sp would confirm that theh were in a relationship with someone else (granted they could have been cheated on but how would that happen if you went into the void and manifested your desired relationship with someone?). I wouldn't call these success stories out but it began to sow doubt in my mind. However, I found comfort in Angel's blog. I was one of her anons and she would always reply to me on any questions I had and would always make the void seem so real, so easy, and so attainable. 

Then, Angel was exposed and my doubts went wild. Not only was Angel my favorite blogger but she was the one who introduced the void state to everyone. If she was lying the entire time, who's to say the void state is even real? What if it's all some big lie made my narcissistic, attention seekers on tumblr.

I entered a period of time where I was just very stagnant. I didn't really believe the void anymore, I deleted my own tumblr blog documenting my journey and just scrolled through tumblr aimlessly.Tumblr, especially void tumblr, turned pretty hostile and I remember success stories were being called out, void bloggers were being exposed left and right, and it just became this very negative, very angry place. And all this just made me doubt the void even more. 

But like Uzi said, "You'll get over it." And I did. But it didn't happen naturally, I had to really stop and take a look at myself.

What happened? What REALLY happened? I ultimately came to the realization that all this wasn't even about the void, but Angel's betrayal. I am really embarrassed about this now but back then, I was so obsessed with Angel. Like I wanted to be her so bad, I wanted to enter the void as easily as she could and I loved to keep up with her and send her asks and be her anon. Like I had notifications on for her and would genuinely get so excited whenever she posted, I cringe at the thought of it now.

Not only did I have this parasocial relationship going on, but I also had this association of Angel and the void. For those of you who don't know, Angel would always going around calling herself the it girl of loa tumblr and talk about how she introduced the void and I ate all of that up and in my head, I genuinely had this mental association of Angel to the void.

So when one was exposed, I just believed the other was fake as well. But that's not really the case, is it?

I realized tumblr was doing more harm than good and I deleted it. I'm not going to lie and act like I deleted it and just moved on. I had relapses and i would get so frustrated as to why I was so addicted to tumblr and I had to constantly self reflect. I watched a few videos on YouTube on being addicted to social media and I think that's what eventually helped me delete it and keep it deleted. After deleting tumblr for good, I went back to my initial research that I did when I first found out about the void. I reread everything. I did even more research. I began finding people talking about the void in various fields during various time periods. I was slowly rebuilding my understanding of the void as well as my trust.

I also indulged in a lot of things I didn't before. I remember listening to a lot of subliminals for the void state, limiting beliefs, and self love. [I know people will ask me which ones and I didn't have any playlists or anything but there were a few I really liked and felt like they made a difference so here they are: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8]. I loved (and still do) watching self care/mindfulness content like how to overcome doubts and become your dream girl and stuff like that.

During this time, I came to terms with something else. Taking accountability and blaming myself. Up until this point, if you had asked me why I began doubting the void, I would have blamed tumblr or the lying bloggers who were exposed. But honestly, that's not the case. It was my fault. The truth is, we all know that some bloggers are lying. Whether they're doing so to live in the end or just to get attention, it's something that happens. I know I got hated on for saying this before but I've literally gotten asks where people told me they got scammed by multiple bloggers who claimed they would enter the void for them and we've seen multiple bloggers get exposed so I think it's time we accept that this is just something that is going to happen in this community.

But other people lying should have NEVER affected me the way that it did. One tumblr blogger should have NEVER completely shaken up my faith in something as proven as the void as it did for me. And I couldn't just sit and blame others, I had to take accountability. I had Void Tumblr and Angel especially on such a high pedestal when it should have never been like that and that's why one blogger lying was able to have such a massive impact on me to the point where I was genuinely depressed.

I couldn't continue blame lying bloggers because that puts my faith in the void in the hands of external factors that I have no control over so I had to take accountability and blame myself for putting tumblr and Angel on such a high pedestal and just attaching my entire faith to tumblr and being so parasocial and obsessed with "the community" and Angel.

Also, I touched on this before but I definitely had a mental association in my head that:

The Void -> Tumblr/Angel

Deleting tumblr and indulging in my research helped to breakdown that association but in order to make sure this never happened again, I had to completely reframe how I viewed tumblr.

Honestly, void tumblr is such a good resource when used correctly. There are so many amazing bloggers who put a lot of effort into helping others and share really good techniques and advice and I wanted to capitalize on that but to effectively do so, I had to really accept that some of these bloggers might be lying so to not depend on any success story for my belief.

Also, I promised myself to not engage in anymore loser activity. What is loser activity? (1) Being a parasocial fan and tying my entire faith in the void to a freaking social media app and a random blogger who I didn't even know as well as (2) hating on lying bloggers. Yep, both of these are loser activities. The first one is self explanatory but for the second one, the only reason I was hating on lying bloggers is because I was more obsessed with drama than me entering the void and was putting my entire faith into tumblr which is something I should have never done. Energy flows where attentions goes. Was I scrolling Void Tumblr for motivation or to learn tips and techniques to enter the void or to engage in drama? I wanted to enter the void and engaging in drama only increased my doubts so I had to cut that all off once and for all and I've stuck to that since.

I did end up downloading tumblr again after a while but this time, the way I viewed tumblr was completely different. By building up my faith in the void through research and by removing void tumblr off the pedestal I previously had it on as well as reframing how I was going to utilize it, I was able to use tumblr in a more effective manner as well as overcome my doubts and eventually enter the void.

Identifying Triggers

So you might have been reading my personal journey and been like "why is this girl talking so much about tumblr?" Well, the reason is because tumblr was my trigger.

I remember watching this YouTube video that basically explained how almost everything that we do is a habit and our brain basically creates these habits to optimize our daily lives, including negative thought patterns. And our habits are triggered by something aka a trigger and then our brain basically creates a habit feedback loop, meaning whenever you come across that trigger, that habit will follow and if your habit is a negative thought pattern, you will spiral.

For me, the habit was a negative thought patterns of doubting the void and the trigger was tumblr and I would just spiral like crazy, doubting the void. I go really in depth to how I combatted my trigger above but I believe that everyone is different and I highly encourage you to sit down and really examine and understand yourself, identify your own trigger(s), and create a personalized plan for yourself because the thing is I can present all the evidence that the void is real to you but if you come across your trigger, you're just going to start doubting it again and it'll just be an endless loop until you actively combat it.

The best way to combat a trigger is to avoid it altogether, such as deleting tumblr in my case. However, sometimes people have triggers that aren't easily avoidable so it's really different for everyone and it's really up to you to plan it our for yourself because breaking habits is incredibly difficult so not only are you going to have to create a plan but the hardest part will be actually sticking to it but only by doing so will you be able to stop spiraling into doubt.

Proof Portfolio

This section compiles a lot of the research I did [that I could still remember] that helped me overcome my doubts in the void, with some contributions from my lovely anons. I especially recommend the first 2 but keep going through all of them until you totally believe that the void state is real!

1 2 3 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22

This ^ should be enough but if you're still curious, I would highly recommend browsing reddit and amino for void state success stories. You'll find a lot in shifting and ap (astral projection) communities as well as meditation communities! Browsing meditation communities is pretty beneficial as they don't really put pressure on themselves to enter the void so they end up entering it pretty easily and they have such good advice and shifting communities tend to have a lot of good motivation.

The Real Truth about Doubting the Void

Thank you so much for reading to the end!! I really appreciate it. To summarize, my opinion on how you overcome doubts in your void state journey is by removing/combatting triggers that are causing you to spiral and doing your own research and learning about the void so that you can understand that it's a very real thing, not just something that exists on tumblr or in the loa community.

But I want to let you in on a little secret. The truth is I doubted the void up until I actually entered it and manifested everything. Not the void state itself. After all that research, I knew the void state was real but in the very back of my mind I was like "but will it guarantee all my desires?" But honestly, the truth is no amount of success stories or proof will convince you fully other than you actually entering in yourself and manifesting whatever you want. So don't be so obsessed with doubting holding you back. Focus on entering the void and once you enter, you'll find out for yourself if it's real or not. I love and believe in you and I know you got this 💗

All the power of the universe is with you. Feel it, know it, and then act as though it were true.

Intelligence types, personality types and magick

This could very well be me reading way too much into my own theories about magic. However, I do believe that intelligence types (verbal, spatial, intrapersonal, etc) play a part in how one works magic. Likewise, I also feel that personality types play a role as well. All of this culminates into a unique magical practice for each individual person. For the purpose of this post, I will be using my own personality type and intelligence type and relating it to my magical practice.

Let’s start with intelligence type, I am a linguistic-verbal intelligence type. My focus is writing, books, and speech. Along with this comes the physical traits of having hearing as my strongest sense. When I get scared watching a movie, I cover my ears because that is how I take in information.

In terms of my personality type, I am INFP-T. This breaks down into Introvert, iNtuitive, Feeling, and Perceptive. The “T” is for Turbulent meaning that I’m chaotic in both thought processes and in terms of action.

Now for the breakdown of how these relate to my magic. Intelligence type is how I express myself, I use speech and writing to express myself. My personality type is expressive of in what way my power is activated.

Introversion being that I like to practice alone without fear of being judged. On that front, I turn my thoughts inward and dive into a story or book or just journal.

Intuition is my drive. I am driven less by the prewritten spell work of others and more by what I hear when I interact with books or characters. My intuition is also how I know things will work right no matter how odd the components of a spell seem.

Feeling is my empathy for others. Without my empathy for others, I would be unable to tap into the deeper aspects of my power. This is also linked to my psychic abilities. My ability to feel the emotion behind the words of someone else.

Perceptive is how I see the world. Changing one little detail in a story or in an occurrence could have a domino effect. As an autistic person, my abilities to perceive the world is very different from a vast majority of the population. Perception is also linked to visualization, crossing the barrier between what is fictional or written and what is real. Speech and incantations fall into this. This is also where the power comes full circle. Linking back to my intelligence type.

Turbulence stands apart and on its own for various reasons. The first reason being that this is the spark. The fire that blazes deep within me. The is is passion, creativity, and insight. Turbulence is tapping into the chaos of the world and changing the way things are through the methods described above. This could be writing, or incantations or even pulling raw energy from a story. Turbulence is the core of my power. When I speak passionately about something, I can hypnotize people, this also links to my physical abilities. Touching someone while speaking passionately will amplify the effect.

So there you have it. This is the breakdown of my power via my personality type and intelligence type. It goes by many names and you can take your pick. Wordcraft seems most appropriate seeing as it’s defining of writing and eloquence. However, Bibliomancy could also be one. Whatever the term used to define this craft, this power, it is intrinsically a part of me. So what is your intelligence type and personality type, how does it link to your power?
