THE ART AND NECESSITY OF TRANCE WRITING

  For a high level, high frequency practitioner and occultist, trance writing also known as automatic writing is a putting of the ‘spoken’ word of the Universe, of spirits, spirit consciousness, and one’s higher self into the written word. One is invited into the art of trance writing by entities, deities, and higher powers to explore the myriad of psychological, emotional, spiritual, healing and magickal possibilities within oneself, to put one’s healing potential into action, deepen their overall healing, and essentially to convert, transfer and harvest energy from the spiritual world/realms into the physical world. Trance writing is one way of unlocking your highest potential, hashing through your fears(even the deepest of them), fleshing out those said fears and your insecurities, and a way for spirits and ancestors to speak, channel and flow through you. Pure trance writing is a result of allowing what is supposed to resonate with you to flow out of you and into your writing material. This energy comes from you, from the Universe itself, from the Lady Akasha who allowed you to know and remember enough of your true self to own your highest destiny and write for the gods. The feeling of knowing when and how to put the words of the Universe and spirits into writing to potentially save the lives of many, comes to you when it comes to you. For me, trance writing is a daily reminder that ultimately, people can really only save themselves, when or if they want to. To save another’s soul one must resonate with your message enough to turn their life around for the better and stay their higher course, but it really means they are saving themselves because it is their free will to decide to do so. Writing has always been cathartic for me in the way that brings me immediate joy and also some kind of long term relief. If you can get high off of reading your own spells, incantations and trance material period, you will understand this joy, this reward that I speak of. One must say enough to enlighten minds, but not say too much. I say what needs to be said. I will keep it straight with you. What I say or write on the behalf of the gods I serve is what needs to be shared with others, what I must share with them, and what the gods have employed and summoned me to share because they desire my hands to get the job done. This is a part of my fate. The high I get from writing for them, about them is not for my ego and it certainly isn’t something to chase just to chase. Trance writing for the sharing of spiritual information with the public is a difficult responsibility to wrap my head around, especially when incorporating research from various sources. Since I do not believe that plagiarism is ok, I say what I have to say in my own words. Quite honestly, I have been dying to share certain information regarding the occult with others, especially because of ignorant, uneducated claims of the occult and occult practices. Some established practitioners have rebuked my magickal methods and have shunned at my claims of certain communications and interactions with certain spirits who they have an altogether different dynamic with, were not able to develop a dynamic with at all(well, the spirits can be very selective), or are too scared to. I will not apologize that my experiences with those particular entities/deities transcends their own relationship with the said spirits. What happens in my house is sometimes different than it is for other practitioners. As my faith in Ifá and Ifá consciousness continues to grow, I see more and more how just one spark of Ifá consciousness magick can lead, grow, transcend and weave into a person’s whole life. A person can become completely consumed in integration with it, fulfilling them in ways they were not fulfilled prior to this integration being initiated and occurring. Writing is one of the best ways for me to transfer my piece, stamp, and imprint of Ifá consciousness into the material world from soul and the totality of my house spirits who chose this integration with me. Think of every written excerpt, spell and prayer as a multi-aspected self-sacrifice to one’s own spirits. Some practitioners have a special enough bond with their house spirits to be granted their own personal occult language for veneration in their practice and there is an incredible, exponential growth potential when this ‘hidden’ language is presented in their written magick and work. To immerse into the beauty, complexity, sounds and pronunciations of your own hidden language, to write it out is to thicken yourself spiritually with the protections guaranteed by the language, its magick, and the magick of the spirits who created it. Kojilla is fine for this thickening process, my personal integration process with Ifá being more refined as time and use of my language continues. Kojilla was gifted to me many years ago and I swore to keep it to myself until I was given permission, warranted by my highest spirits and godhead to share it with another human being. When it was decided for me to do a church on their behalf, it was then they made the determination that it was time for me to share Kojilla with the world in a way I never dreamed of when I first married into Ifá. As the words of my spirits summons me to them, I summon you to read what has been presented before you in its entirety, with an open mind, heart, and soul.

  I can speak from my experiences and from the testaments of others who have shared their experiences and stories with me. However, it is from my own experiences, testaments, clairvoyance, clairsentience and clairaudience that what I have to say is best said. At this point in my witchy-mortal life, my words mean a lot more to me and are more precious to me than ever. Do not ask me what I think if you do not like hearing the truth, because I am not afraid to call it the way I see it. The truth will be ritualized, written about, spoken of, materialized, fleshed out to be revealed and shown out by the gods of karma themselves when need be, whether you like it or not. I hate to say that I am usually right, but I am. There is no light without the shadow of hidden truths in its proximity and everything is not really all about ‘love and light’ with a transcendent spiritual process. I will continue to harp on that in my writing for I cannot stress this fact enough. Good witches must make dark decisions sometimes for the sake of the greater good of everybody. The gods laugh at the “love and light” claim made by countless folks, spiritualists and practitioners. Yes, love really is EVERYTHING. Isn’t it obvious though that often times it is tough love that really gets sh*t done? LOL. As you see my words written before you, let their power and feeling vibrate through you freely. When I was first initiated into Ifá, I wrote for my house spirits all the time. Now as much time has passed and I revisit the spirit of writing with an entirely new approach, I realize that much of what trance writing is has kept the spirit of the occult alive in me this whole time. Trance writing is emotional to me the way falling in love is, but writing is more reliable than romance with a flesh being. For the spirit of romance I feel for the gods has elevated me more than any love I ever felt for a living human being. Humans can be so pathetic and disappointing, but my gods never fail to come through for me. The gods have their natural selection process for us mortals; witch, practitioner, non-practitioner and non-witch alike. Whether we like it or not, they are sizing us humans the f**k up. The natural selection process is unique to each person. The consecration of the words of my incantations, these excerpts are part of the pulp that makes me a better practitioner, a better witch, a better conjurer, a better woman, a better person really. To some extent, my soul’s ultimate path has been guaranteed through the pure catharsis of spreading, sharing these words with you. My chances of surviving the natural selection process are better as are my chances of living a fruitfully, long life; better than they would have been without my expression of these truths. Writing further fortifies my desires into real action period. Shaping, cultivating, influencing human and magickal potential through the art and necessity of sharing is a very special privilege. The ancestors say if most people really only knew the truth of what it takes to grow and heal, they would be completely turned off by the process. The written text as interesting, enticing, polarizing, neutralizing, confusing and as off-putting as it may be serves its purpose in that it exists. May it dig deep in you and may you in turn accept the revelations being offered to you by the Ascended Masters via a human conduit, thus empowering these very words. Revelation is the truth we were forced to bury inside ourselves due to the mind enslavement of human conditioning and the bastard aspects of enculturation. Although, social conditioning has darkened everything and we live with our own dark truths, the real dark truth is that the highest of ancestors, the highest divinities in our Universe will shorten our life or make us endure a prolonged hardship if we do not step it up for the better. For the betterment of the world, for the love of ourselves, for each other, animals, nature, nature-worship, our ancestors, for the love of the god and the goddess and the god-loving spirit, we must get it f**king right. Even a god in the noetic sense of the word is still a god and shall be loved a god. There are gods who mean us well, those who do not, and those who are indifferent. There are also gods who forgive and those who do not forgive or flat out refuse to. It is our responsibility to figure out which of the gods and entities want us to heal with them, to grow with them, to harmoniously exist with them. Society, technology, predictive programming, the “God” of patriarchal mass religions, preaching of the false texts(questionable written texts) of the said God, and some people who claim to be “the prophet of God” have stripped away and skewed our relationship with our inner and higher self so they cannot be connected for personal transcendence, to prevent our constructive self-relationship from ever occurring, and to prevent, strip away and diminish our relationship with nature and Mother Nature Herself. All for ego, greed, and a false sense of power and control. A real crying shame the business of it is. For many will never have a true spiritual connection with themselves, Mother Nature, the ancestors, the Ascended Masters and highest of divinities, because they cannot break away from the bad cycles constantly perpetuated by relentless God-fearing fools, the tools of propaganda, and the propaganda puppet masters themselves. It is those of us who do know our true path who must stay the course, to speak of it and write of it, or what needs to be done will never be consecrated into the physical world and material reality for our healing and the healing of each other. Our writing must reflect the passion of life, death, and rebirth and the eternal cycle of it all. It must also outshine the texts and preaching of the fools without trying too hard and shed light on the truth of the gods who want to love us. Some of us experience this love, but the Ascended Masters are still prevented real entry into the hearts of humans, because some of them still feed into the cycle of brainwashing that has been a normalized reality for them their entire lives. The gods did not give us an unlimited amount of chances to get life right. Patriarchal religions, guilt-trip ideals and philosophies, and dogma have in many ways replaced the love we are supposed to have for nature, ourselves, and our ancestors by skewing us with BS. The time to turn everything around is NOW.

  I can only hope the gods give me what I deserve, nothing more and nothing less. All the good, bad, and in between I am owed is mine to have. One must reap what they sow. Be my trance writing an incantation, a prayer, an evocation, a mantra, an excerpt, a “thank you” to the spirits, whatever it must be manifested into comes out of me eventually. The spirit of writing itself manifests my need to express myself in writing and it is a constant consuming feeling whether I am writing at the moment or not. Once I fed into the spirit of trance writing I realized there was no turning back. I sensed beforehand this would be the case. I have made a karmic commitment of some kind by writing for the spirits of the dead(and yes, also for some spirits who have never had a physical body). Yes, trance writing is done in somewhat of a trance state, but one does not necessarily lose touch with their physical surroundings just because they are doing it. The flow of their spirits is seeping and bursting through them and their mind, expecting to be revealed, honored, shared, venerated and consecrated into some kind of physical means; essentially, melded into the physical world for mortals to see and experience. This includes practitioners and non-practitioners. To articulate spiritual messages into written material is scary, exciting, breathtaking, very very powerful, and intimidating to say the least. Trance writing is considered a very powerful spiritual sacrifice in my practice. It is also a way of harvesting energy in acquiring more personal strength. It is different to harvest energy through writing than it it is to make or buy a charm, amulet or a talisman for energy storage. Written work for spiritual intentions becomes more powerful through others reading it. Even if they do not agree with the material in the slightest, it is has been consumed into one’s mind, very possibly at the forefront of it, but ultimately has been taken on and been on one’s mind at some point and has very likely become a memory to the person. The written word is the written word. That in itself gives it power. So does the fact that it is remembered, as memory energy is energy too. It is better when the material is truthful, it counts for more in terms of the sacrifice and the harvest. The harvest accumulates the more time, effort, testament, authentication, and energy is put into it. Going online with it changes everything. The dynamic of possibilities opens up, so the harvest becomes more creative and complex, as these words exponentially reach the people who have essentially become my audience and my followers. My personal repository of spiritual writings is far beyond what I will ever publish, but is still a part of the harvest nonetheless. As my gods and goddesses see through the culmination and fruitions of this church, my own material will become much more powerful and refined. I cannot imagine a life where writing does not exist. It is not enough to just share my truth. My truths can only be considered a shared truth if one can relate and some of these truths which are mine will never be a truth for another. I want my words to be relatable but I also accept that some people will never be able to find relatability in my words or a genuine connection with them. If you can feel a connection with them but cannot identify or discern the connection, that is ok too. In the least, I can spark your imagination, provoke your thinking processes, be rooted in them somehow, and show you there is a connection between myth and reality, though there is still a fine boundary between them. All imagination is magick, but some of the magick is not useful. Let my words be useful for you if you can. I applaud you for trying. What is real to you is real to you, what isn’t isn’t. What is true for you now might not be one day.

  Although, the spirit of trance writing is the medium of expression that is the most freeing for me, it is also the most self-imprisoning on me when I am not doing it. It is in my written words that my greatest joy and sources of spiritual sanctuary are found. For in the energy transmission alone of doing my writing, I receive a major spiritual, emotional and psychological release. In the act and spirit of shared expression, trance writing is especially powerful and healing. Knowing the spirits helped me formulate an incantation or excerpt for them is fulfilling. I can say in the least that in the spirit of my own personal sanity and sanctity, I am far from done when it comes to trance writing. This spirit of writing is one of passion and pursuit and has consumed me since I first learned how to write. It isn’t done with me yet. It always feels like the spirit of unfinished business. Years ago, I was told by a witch doctor about an occultist who died while writing a religion for some very evil spirits. He said the forces consumed the man after he started writing spells in their language. The transference and energy transmissions he made putting the religion into writing pushed his karmic, sympathetic connection with the spirits into an overpowering danger zone and it was enough they ended his life early. They killed him to take and absorb his spirit essence before he could bring his religion to completion. Apparently, this has happened to many occultists and practitioners who attempted to create their own religion, especially after they started writing for the spirits and recording their language. Spirits are codified with different languages. Spirits have learned, adapted, and evolved to the languages of the living, but when it comes to their own languages, it is to the peril of the practitioner to partake in indulging its mere existence and so on through trance writing. To be employed to write for Ifá as powerful, complex, beautiful and precious as the collective consciousness of it is, has been my honor, salvation, love, responsibility, duty and privilege.
