I’ve been thinking about what we might be able to do to influence this situation along more constructive lines. Here’s some suggestions which I’m throwing out to the floor.
I’m probably going to be attempting most of this stuff myself anyway, but if anyone is interested in turning some of these ideas into something approaching a co-ordinated global magical campaign to try and prevent things getting any worse, or if anyone has a better series of ideas for doing similar stuff, then let’s use this thread to talk about it.
IDEA 1
Barbelith servitor-satellites positioned above every major city & town in which volunteers reside. These servitor-satellites could be encoded to beam down influences such as compassion and clarity, provoke mass realisations of the sanctity of life, encourage rational thought, bolster resistance to pernicious war mongering, instil a general sense of calm and clear headedness into the populace, etc... all beaming down into the minds and hearts of people living in the geographical region below where it’s launched.
The servitors could be launched simultaneously by volunteers at locations around the world where we’re physically located. For example, all Londoners who want to take part could choose a specific land mark where the satellite could be physically located above (probably something symbolic like The London Stone) and a group could meet at a specific time at that location to launch the servitor. Those unable to be there physically could perform a co-ordinated ritual wherever they may be, either at an altar or on the astral. There could be a specific method agreed to charge up the servitor and give energy to it’s work, maybe a sigil linked to it that can be charged through whatever means or inscribed on a candle that can be burned to power up the satellite.
I think it’s important to do something along these lines, both to put a stop to this ugly evil fuck wit tendency towards despicable racial attacks that has reared it’s piss stained head over the last week, and also to try and curb the scary media fuelled blood lust and general lack of clear thinking and rationality that’s come about as a result of the 9/11 tragedy.
IDEA 2
Targeted ‘work’ on the various known figures involved in this situation. I’ve read a lot lately on various lists about people mounting full scale occult attacks on Bin Laden. If that floats your boat then that’s your prerogative of course. But I’m not sure that would provide an instant solution to the problem we’re facing. Magic can be rather unpredictable at times, and depending on how the magic manifested it could conceivably lead to added difficulties. We don’t necessarily want to create a fundamentalist martyr if we can help it.
Here are some alternative solutions to consider:
a.)George W Bush.
Now I don’t know the man so I’m not really in a position to judge his calibre, however from his media profile, he doesn’t strike me as the brightest and most level headed of public figures to be dealing with this crisis. It’s not funny anymore so basically I think we have to consider possible solutions to this.
I suggest that we attempt to install the appropriate psychic software into Mr Bush that will provide him with the various qualities necessary to steer his country through this situation with dignity, rationality, compassion and calm minded resolve, so that all his decisions are made with respect for human life and with an over riding desire to prevent the suffering of innocent people. Perhaps a tall order, but what are the alternatives.
There’s a few ways that you could go about doing this, but personally I’d be inclined to go for a hoodoo style working. Burning a coloured candle dressed with an appropriate oil over a photo of Dubya, probably with a sigil inscribed on the candle and charged during the ritual. Or alternatively put a photo of him in a bottle with various appropriate herbs, sigils, and items then hang it from the branch of a tree where it won’t be discovered. Whatever is to your personal tastes.
b.)The Taliban.
It’s difficult to know which way to go with this, but whatever way you look at it, the Taliban are not good news for free thinking people.
It might be worth working out some occult strategy to cause their supporters to lose faith in them and for their numbers to dwindle so they cease to be a threat. Figure out some means of weakening the cultural meme which they represent so their particular ideological standpoint becomes increasingly less attractive to those who currently support it.
Consider The Taliban as an egregore that can be attacked on a psychic level. Devise strategies for waging psychic warfare on dangerous memeplexes.
c.)Other World Leaders.
Same routine as Dubya. If you’re not from the US get a photo of your countries leader and attempt to instil them with psychic influences that will encourage them to resolve this situation in as peaceable and humanitarian a manner as possible. Perhaps target various specific world leaders who are involved in the situation and send them appropriate influences. Rationality. Calm. Compassion. Make hoodoo dolls out of them and perform rituals to make them behave in a rational and humanitarian manner.
IDEA 3
Psychic Fallout. If anyone is inclined it might be worth doing something to try and help clear some of the psychic atmosphere that must be emanating from the sites of the WTC/Pentagon/ Pittsburgh crashes. What this might involve will probably differ from tradition to tradition, but one suggestion might be to attempt shamanic journeying or astral travel to the various sites to see if you can perform a psychopomp function and try to guide any lost spirits of the dead to their proper place of resting. Probably best to only attempt this if you are experienced at journeying, and if you have the proper endorsement to do so from whichever Underworld Gods you may choose to have dealings with.
I reckon other people on the boards are a lot better qualified than I am to fill in the details about this kind of thing so I’m just going to raise the idea and leave it at that. It could conceivably be easier to influence the situation towards a more favourable outcome if there was some form of occult rescue effort made to guide the thousands of angry and confused spirits to their proper <insert favoured afterworld paradigm here> place. It may even be possible to get the spirits on-side and assisting with any magic targeted to prevent more pointless bloodshed. This is not an area I have any experience in so I will say no more on the matter.
So yeah, anyway, there’s some ideas for things we could be doing. I look forward to hearing any comments and suggestions. Lets put our money where our mouth is and do something to try and make things better.
