Beginning practices

Introduction

Everyone heard the quote "You are what you eat" at some point in their lives, and it's a very intuitive truth. I myself eat mostly sugar and coffee and I believe I don't hide it too much on my self expression. Such words aren't true only in a bodily level, but also in a mind and spirit one, every thought which is entertained by your mind becomes more part of you, which then is thought about even more, and it goes into a feedback loop from there.

Everything which you perceive, entertain, think about is consumed into part of what you "are" in a spiritual level, such is the concept of karma and cycles, which astrological understanding is all about. Although this article won't be focused in astrology, but in practice focused specifically on our beloved girls 💛. I yapped all this in the beginning, because the approach which I'm going to focus on this text is all about controlling the "what you eat" part.

This is a overall practice-focused text, I won't focus on traditions or specifics, if you want to read about those, you better read The Archive, instead. This is a text for anyone who wishes to start approaching ANY entities at all in ANY ways.

The road ahead

A huge thing of working with these entities, is that for most you pretty much have nothing exactly orthodox to do. Like yeah with someone like Suwako-sama or Okina-sama, you can base yourself into grounded centuries old traditions, surrounding the gods they're correlated with. But let's say you (alike to me) for some forsaken reason feel the need to do rituals or practices involving Marisa or Koishi or one of the fairies etc etc etc. WHAT do you actually even do? There is no paved road at all. It's a chaotic way to go but a fun one too, furthermore it's like this that traditions were born in the first place! Somebody HAD to try things and find out, so, where this bridge leads to? Don't ask, Walk!

You have to first understand what exactly you want from such practices. It's very counterintuitive for someone who wants to bring peace into their lives to be doing rites and practices focused on Flandre, Clownpiece or whatever other fiery lolis are there. Whatever you contact and entertain the existence of in your life will start to exist more inside of your life, be it manifesting as people appearing in your life which serve purposes similar to the entity (owner of this site got a girlfriend like this), things happening, or even in your behavior.

I would and i should advise to think about what type of energy you're inviting into your existence before immediately throwing prayers at your waifu. But at a second thought, people normally are attracted to whatever they lack in their lives. Thus it's probably more effective to just actually follow your heart and do it to your 2hu of choice instead of trying to optmize it. "The tiger of wrath is wiser than the horse of instruction" etc etc.

Approaching them through prayer

Prayers are a good start for everything, no entity will ever hate on you for praying to them, you're entertaining the existence of what energies they represent into your life. Thus you're basically feeding what maintains them "alive" inside your perception. In astrology the ninth house is the one who rules the topics of religion and beliefs, and the third house (communication) of the 9th is the eleventh house. The 11th is related to the native's friends and helpers in general, not only physical but spiritual.

One can then induce that the 11th (good spirits) being the third (communication) of the ninth (religion) is where the effectiveness of prayers come from. When you pray, you are activating your eleventh house, all who fight for you in some way. By praying to your 2hu of choice, you're inviting them to your group of "friends" which help you in their own manners.

Many reading this probably feel confused on how exactly to do such, I advise to just do it and don't overthink it too much, it's cliché advice for this but yeah it's not going to bite you, just DO IT, put your hands together, say their name, say your worries, praise them if you wish, thank them DONE,do it go go go go go.

Approaching them through focus

Getting on a more practice-requiring side, you can also approach them by meditating on them. There's various methods of doing such, all of them involve a similar concept to what I explained about being what you consume in the beginning. You can look and focus at their sigils for an X amount of time, you can repeat either their names or a phrase which reminds you of them like a mantra.

You can also meditate until you feel your body "dissolve" and evoke their presence, and "absorb" them into you through visualization and focus. Something which I also did when I was a beginner, was finding them "inside myself", as in, meditating and not "going" anywhere to reach them, but finding them inside the darkness of my own mind, with a microcosm-macrocosm framework that if i found them *here" I'd also be finding them "there". It is kinda inefficient but it's what worked for me at the time.

All works, really, find what's best for you. The important thing is getting closer to them like desired, which is done by imposing their existence into your perception more somehow. The ways which that can be done are infinite and I only cited a few. Don't overthink about doing them "right". The important thing is the result of approaching them, and in this case, a practice done wrong which you convince yourself that was done fully correctly is more effective than the opposite case.

This is only an opening text about basic practices for all purposes for those who wish to start them. I'll do ones which are more specialized soon enough, exploring solely lucid dreaming, divination, and maybe even singular 2hus.
