Servitor comma Drug-Powered

Hi! ^-^

I was thinking it might be nice to have some specific thoughtform to whom I could sacrifice all the drugs I do, and to whom I could dedicate the various rituals involved therewith. Because, well, you know, I smoke a -lot- of weed -- once or twice a day -- so I'd basically be constantly acknowledging and empowering the fing.

So, I don't know, maybe I'll make my own. I was thinking of making a servitor, powered by my constant cannabis consumption (and possibly by all other psychedelic encounters), to effect certain desirable changes. The thing is, I have the feeling it shouldn't be for anything really "serious" -- health, family, career -- since drugs are, generally, frivolous and nutty. So should I make the servitor based on something more playful? Something to effect social or personal change?

Well, sure. That's what I was thinking. Right now I'm thinking I'll make a drug-powered beastie whose Point In Life is guiding me into situations where I'll meet new and interesting people, and simultaneously allowing me to become more interesting, fill in some of the blanks in my personality, and, you know, be the kind of person who interesting people want to have guided into situations with them. And that sounds pretty good.

But then, in the last two or three days, I've been reading the Barbelith Magick forum again, and just now I thought, "hey! Let's ask the magick board about it! That would be old-school."

Well, actually, I was reading about GEK, which was what gave me this idea in the first place.

Hem. So, you know, I'd love to collect some opinions! Has anyone experimented with this sort of thing before? Vadrice mentioned using french cigarettes which was, frankly, what made me think of this specific method of empowerment. Has anyone had a drug-powered thoughtform? Should I be putting it to some other, more specifically psychedelic use, like acting as a reservoir for stuff I want to remember in the midst of particularly confounding trips but normally don't, or helping me maintain, in everyday life, aspects of the "enlightened" states of mind I occasionally find myself pharmaceutically abused of? Can anyone think of an [i]existing[/i] god or servitor or class of entity or somesuch which might appreciate the sacrificial/ritual smoking of cannabis in the meantime? I've got this friend I'm supposed to get irresponsibly stoned this evening...

Or, you know, anyone want to lend a word of encouragement?

I haven't posted here in a long, long, long time. Man.

Crazy! ^-^

Please ignore ineffective [i] tags. I'm suffering from forum-shear. -_-

Hey Snee, got a story for you:

Many moons ago I found myself toking a j while driving thru the outskirts of the Motor City. New Year's Eve and the party people are out. Anyhoo, the j gets down to the roach and someone announces that they're gonna toss it out the window as an offering. An offering to who? To...uh...to Saint Bud! "Yeah! Saint Bud!" says the crowd. "He'll keep us safe and sound tonight!" The roach goes out the passenger side window and a half-a-second later a cop car passes us on the driver's side. Not a glance, not a tap on the brakes from the public servant. We did indeed party in safety the rest of the night. To this day, when it feels right, I still make offerings to Saint Bud. Feel free to ask for stuff as long as you're offering freely and the offer ain't a pinner-roach.

Let us know how it goes.

BTW, this happened well before I even considered magic a viable lifestyle.

Saint Bud! Brilliant. That's exactly the kind of thing I was talking about. ^-^

I'll be sure to post here about any results and ruminations.

Of course if you want more charge sacrificing the J before smoking it is gonna count for me.

Or further; Sacrificing the last joint is really gonna stir up some emotional currents.

Hi guys, just a quick update; the Saint Bud concept really stuck with me and I've had fantastic luck in devoting bowls to him. The first time I did it, within the next five hours I finally met a dealer in my area, smoked a lot of someone else's (his) really good weed, ate pork chops, got twenty bucks, and tripped on 2 grams of mushrooms that a friend happened to have idiosyncratically and fortuitously acquired.

Saint Bud, then, is everything he ought to be! ^-^

A friend of mine who recently went off to university has taken up the initiative and regularly devotes his smoking to the empowerment of Saint Bud. I don't know if any of his friends do it yet.

Cheers!
