So here are some ideas I already have, which I will edit with time. I'm very open to suggestions and corrections to all of these, especially since English is my third language.

Tl;Dr If you want, you can totally ignore this post and just directly give your own ideas, as asked in the last Tl;Dr :)

Firstly, the opening paragraph. I want to make it short and non-metaphysical. It's supposed to appeal to curiosity and the sceptic's pride of being an independent thinker (whether this pride is justified or not is another matter  ;) ). This is a first draft :) What do you think of it? You can of course also suggest a totally different approach.
________
Is magic real? Find out for yourself!
Some people talk about magic(k) as another means to fulfil one's aims, but most folks are sure that there is no such thing in reality. However, open-minded thinkers draw their own conclusions! Here are some time-proven methods you can personally try out to establish for yourself whether there is anything to this. They won't take ages,  won't cost money and won't ask you to do anything stupid.

Do these and see -- if it works, there are many free resources to get deeper into it and start making your live great for real. If it doesn't, now you know for yourself and don't have to rely on someone's word.
________

Now the methods themselves. I would like to include short guides to 1. Sigils, 2. Law of Attraction-style work and (maybe!) 3. Telepathy.

This is the part where I am the most looking for suggestions. You have other methods which you find better suited? Post them please! You have specific tips or texts for the methods I mentioned? Please post them too!

So, here are my preliminary ideas so far. I will elaborate on them in the next days:

1. Sigils
For this my main source will probably be "Practical Sigil Magic" by Frater U.D. ( http://homepage.ntlworld.com/wisewoman/Practical%20Sigil%20Magic%20-%20Frater%20U.D.%20-%20English.pdf ), from which I would condense the material about the usual pictorial methods.
This is of course the archetypal method of achieving quick results. However, I personally had no really good success with it, contrary to my law of attraction-work. I want to include it anyway, since quite many people are reporting great results with it, it seems good to describe in short form and is quick to put in practice

2. Law of Attraction-style work
For this I will mainly take stuff from R.H. Jarrett's "It Works" (1926)
( http://www.scienceofgettingrich.net/itworks.pdf )

and Genevieve Behrend's "Your Invisible Power" (1921)
( http://www.missionimprovement1.com/upload/The%20Secret%20-%20YourInvisiblePower[1].pdf )

I will omit the metaphysical assumptions as far as possible and just present the mental actions.
This is the part of magic I have the most experiences and successes with.
 
(Maybe) 3. Telepathy
Here I am the least sure.... My main infos are from https://web.archive.org/web/20110928081946/http://psipog.net/articles.html  -- mainly these two articles https://web.archive.org/web/20111006061113/http://psipog.net/art-telepathy.html
https://web.archive.org/web/20111006045042/http://psipog.net/art-guess-the-fruit.html
I have only very little experience with this material myself :( But the texts seem easy enough to turn into a suitable format. I plan to learn about this in practice in March. Maybe then I will be clearer on it. But I'm also very eager to hear about your experiences and thoughts.

Hi everyone,

we probably all agree that it would be good if more people used Magick. However, we are probably also rather tired of trying to convince those sceptics. This project is not about that. Rather, let's make them convince themselves (if this text seems to long to read, jump down to Tl;Dr  ;)  )

My idea is simple -- I want to create a free and public guide which gives a few (2-3) methods to try out. These should be simple and accessible, obviously. They do not have to cause massive effects -- their only purpose it to ensure that an open-minded person who honestly tries them will realise that magic is in fact real, that there is something here worth trying.

I already have a lot of this thought out and would do it on my own (as good as I can), if I need to. However, I really want to ask for your input (obviously I will give credit if you wish). As for distribution, I think I will create a few printed versions and put them in some interesting places. But mainly I will create a public document e.g. in Scribd and spread the link to that. I'll print stickers and cards with it combined with  interesting phrases etc. -- all the usual glitterbombing methods (I'll also obviously include the LS in there somewhere  8)  ) .

I want to make this as short as possible, since people are averse to long texts. I'd just write a short opening paragraph (see next post for an idea) and then directly give the methods. After each I would include links to further reading, to free books and essays mainly (I think it might be best to avoid all metaphysics -- no mention of khaos, of quantum mechanics, of psychology. I really want to make it short and purely practical. If they have success with that, they will get into the theory themselves, I would include a few links of that nature).

Of course I have some ideas for this already, which I will outline in the next post to  make it less wall-of-text-y  :D

So, which methods you would suggest.to include in this? See the Tl;Dr for my questions to you :) See the next post for my very preliminary ideas.

Tl;Dr If you had an open-minded sceptic about magick, which methods would you suggest him to try? Which "instructions" would you give him, which texts would you send? What are the shortest paths to the conclusion that magick is real?

Khaos provides.


Edit: I also put this on occultforum to reach more folks :) http://www.occultforum.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=39101 
If you like this idea, sharing it would of course help ;)

The Assault on Reality / Re: Glitterbombing Revived
January 06, 2016, 02:47:05 PM
Just to create a sign of life:



Nothing very special, but on that day the urge to tag just hit me  ;)

I really feel the difference between times where I tag occasionaly and times where I don't...  The entire world appears more exiting and I feel significantly more energetic -- I hope that this is somewhat shared through the entire network.

We also now have small tags in the Negev desert and on a sheet of paper in the wailing/western wall in Jerusalem  8) Sadly, no pictures.

You're not quite alone down here  ;)  the forum is in one of it's sleepier phases, it happens .


I think that most of us are still quite active on their own and also in cooperation with the DKMU-"Pantheon" -- I am certainly still doing what i usually do, LS tags and various experiments (recently I found an interesting take on Sigils here http://runesoup.com/2012/03/ultimate-sigil-magic-guide/  and now I'm considering how to try this technique).

Announcements / Picture upload not working?
January 06, 2016, 02:27:54 PM
Hi everyone!

First, I wish you all a fascinating year 2016 with many opportunities to make it even more interesting for yourself and others :) And if there are no such opportunities, we will create our own  8)

I just tried to upload a picture to our artwork-database and it doesn't work for some reason:

Error: /home/dkmu/public_html is an invalid file. Please use only
Could not save image


This is what I get as a result on the site. As you can see, the new page gets created: http://www.dkmu.org/index.php?Itemid=6&option=com_dkmumedia&func=view&id=376 but there is no picture there. It's not too large and I tried both png and jpg. It also worked a while ago.

Any ideas? Can someone try it as well? Maybe my Browser is outdated? Or is the function really broken?

Welcome here!


As far as I can tell we are all quite active apart from each other but don't network much in this forum currently. The Facebook-Group is a bit more active, if you're into that. Still, this forum and the related DKMU-Material (e.g. de.scribd.com/collections/4145649/DKMU-AAO-scribd-docs ) are some of the greatest sources on magical information that I know.


Also http://www.chaosmatrix.org/ seems to be back up, on the subject of sources -- awesome!

Wow! These are some very good ideas, thanks a lot for sharing!

Especially the hand is just amazing. "R.I.P. The Known" is also great, I will definitely use this -- short and quite provocative.

Wow! This is very well put-together! I have not yet finished reading completely, but wanted to thank you for the great work already! Also the relevant contribution was highly relevant  8) I take it as the Emperor's New Contribution, therefore very much worth reading :D

The Assault on Reality / Another Evocation of Ellis
June 25, 2015, 11:17:52 AM
Inspired by the great Godform Cycle you folks did ( https://www.dkmu.org/forum/index.php?topic=218.0 ) I decided to try an Evocation as well. Here's my account of it :) Sorry for my inability to write short texts  :-[ If it's too long, just look at the pictures  ;) .



I chose the 24.06 as a date, as it is very close to summer solstice but not at a weekend, so I did not expect to be disturbed at the place where I went to.

My plan was to follow Frater Theodbald's suggestions (Thanks for those ideas!) with some changes. I must add that this is my first "serious" (in my consideration) magical work, even though I am into the Occult and DKMU for quite a few years. I was mostly focusing on Sigils, Law of Attraction-Style work and of course Glitterbombing so far. Other ressources I used were the Liber Null (Carrol) Chapters on Invocation and Evocation, as well as some ideas from this merkavahpartyvan.tumblr.com/post/66074566076/actually-summoning-a-demon-on-purpose post about goetic summonings.

0. I prepared the Altar (below). It's in a large resting-hut in a nearby forest, in a place where you can see the sun set (above). I found it perfect for the purpose.

The plan was to have a Sigil of Ellis surrounded by 5 candles (for the 5 letters of her name and for resonance with my banishing ritual, which works with the Pentagram = 4 Elements + Spirit symbolism). As Gifts I planned to bring sweet red wine for the Lover, Rose incense for the Queen and a sweet for the child. Sadly, I left the incense at home  :-[ so I improvised with a scented candle. (The large fire you see comes from using multiple matches as wicks, as otherwise the wind would blow it out -- and it of course looks better.) 

1. I used my own banishing rite, which I created with the instructions in Liber MMM a few years ago, focussing heavily on Elemental symbolism joined with Chaos.

2. After this I whirled around for a while to get into Gnosis and then I performed a shortened version of the Transvocation of Khaos (Thanks to Frater Theodbald once more!), basically leaving out the lines that did not resonate with me. It was quite an interesting experience, but nothing really spectacular either.

3. Next was the actual evocation of Ellis. I began it by some more time with whirling, and then recited a poem (below) which I (amateurishly, no doubt) wrote for this occasion. I had to improvise a bit because of the forgotten incense, but oh well.

After the last line of the poem, I saw Ellis (the way I usually see what I visualise with open eyes, as transparent but still somehow bearing colour and texture) standing on the other side of the table, in the form I usually see her, a tall black-haired woman dressed in red. I saw her split into Queen, Lover and Child, trying the offerings I set before them.

I have the impression that I understood/heard their/her comments better than ever before, even though I of course cannot be sure that it is not a projection of myself anyway (Anyone knows a way around this constraint?). I asked her to become one again, and we talked for a few minutes, which was very interesting. My main request was that she tells me whether she is okay with my work. I also asked whether she can do something to help improve communication between her and me.

4. After all of that I thanked her for appearing and for talking to me. She disappeared into the night and I started cleaning the ritual place and collecting my stuff.


Something rather interesting happened afterwards, on my 40 minute way back home through the forest. I was in a quite intense emotional state after the evocation, and just entered a pretty dark part of the forest with my eyes still not very adjusted from looking at the candles. I asked Ellis, who's presence I still felt, whether it is possible to speak to her more clearly, to get a more direct communication going.

What then happened really surprised and confused me: Basically, it seems like Ellis granted me a Familiar Spirit or something similar. I did not know that she does that.... But another woman appeared in front of me, looking similar but still clearly not like Ellis. She said that she was Alice (changed pronunciation) and will act as a helper for communication and as a general contact-entity. And for the first time (except for the few minutes during the evocation) in my experience with Ellis I could "hear" her rather clearly, not just for a few thoughts. From then she appeared and disappeared from time to time, but I could call her and talk to her, which is pretty great. She also seems a very helpful entity in general, helping me to focus on important tasks and not get distracted. AGain, I cannot be totally sure whether this is all projection/placebo, but if so "it's working" very well, better than ever before, so it feels quite real to me.

Overall it was quite an evening. I am extremely pleased with the results and very grateful to Ellis, Arjil, Frater Theodbald and the DKMU in general.



The poem I wrote to call Ellis:
_____
A Calling to the Queen

To the Red Queen I am calling
Ellis, hear me and descend
Rigid structures will be falling
We bring Khaos to the land

Show the world variety's wonder
hidden doorways open wide
Stagnant order torn asunder
Magic flows as crashing tide

Taste the Wine I brought before you
Smell the Rose and taste the sweet
Share with me your plans and feelings
Join me in this magic feat
_____
Sooo, if you managed to read such a long text, I'm very grateful for your comments. If you did not manage to read it, I'm also interested in you comments, though  ;)

Welcome!


I think I remember you from the DBL-Forum, not sure though.


Punch and Pie is still there, though you notice less of it on this forum, sadly. A lot of activity happens on the DKMU-Group in Facebook. The forums are not dead though, so welcome back!

The Media Magician / Re: The Ellis Web
June 10, 2015, 11:37:18 AM
Wow guys, I know that this isn't quite the thread's topic, but I'm just very interested. You mention the Goetia, and I always wanted to know how a modern, khaotic approach of working with it might be. The classical summonings, especially with the metal seals, just seem not very practical.


So how do you work with them? Maybe someone can elaborate on that in another thread or so? It would be immensely appreciated, probably not just by me.

The Assault on Reality / Re: Glitterbombing Revived
June 05, 2015, 07:00:15 AM
Recently I decided that we need some tags in the village where everyone's beloved Johann Sebastian Bach married. In truth it just happens to be rather close to me :D So I put up a few small tags there. It was a plain sunday but I met almost no one. I think one single car drove by me, no pedestrians. Ellis really has some serious way of either keeping people away when Glitterbombing happens or directing one unnoticably to places where no one is.

The tag I share here is basically just across the road from house with many windows looking right at me. That's why there is nothing added to it.



I mean I couldn't leave a life-size wolf-statue without an LS, right?

I also was in the churchyard where the Bach-wedding was, but there was sadly no place to put a sigil there that wouldn't look barbaric and cause only negative emotions. No stickers to write over, no walls with Graffiti, all perfectly clean and very churchy...

Welcome back Sheo! Who knows, we might be able to revitalise this forum  8)  It's certainly already more lively than it was a few months ago.

This is a repost from an old DBL-Post that, I think, might serve as a good short introduction to the DKMU https://web.archive.org/web/20111208020906/http://deathbylollipop.com/forum/index.php?topic=128.0 (Edit for clarity: This is not written by me. I assume it's Alysy's work.)

Welcome

If you had managed to find this inconspicuous internet post, whether by search, link, or word of mouth, you had no doubt heard of our activities taking place the world over. The operations had begun, and we have resurfaced into the world once again.

I use "we", as in:

DKMU

To start, I would like to remind you who are reading this, that you are still alive.

Further to that, in being alive, you alone have sole control and power over what occurs in the time of your existence, and in the gaze of your immediate experience while on this planet. And, if you didn't believe that already, this text gives you permission to assume the complete control you were convinced out of. There is no exception, however hard some institutions may try to convince you otherwise. For some, this is attempted to the point where they're choices in life are also, and become your choices. If you are one who finds comfort in this dependence, then let it be known that all attachments to Hive Mentality will, after this point, and in pursuit of answer, be completely and utterly destroyed from the mind.

The time has come, I'm afraid, to cut the apron strings, and meet Total Liberation face to face.

This may be difficult for some, for in fact, Liberation consists of an internal grace. Those who cling like children to dogma will suddenly feel as if they had been cruelly snatched of their bottles. Those who praise nationality and race alike will suddenly feel the cold absence of the warm ego-stroking hand of Culture, and the State.

You may have already come across some of our articles, or fliers, be they found in the Real World, or the Web. Know that your town or city is not the only one, nor the first. The event was synchronous, reaching into every country, areas rural and urban, being performed by many groups, and many cells, under many different names. As correspondence dictates, you have managed to find ours. Why is this being done? You might ask, and that particular answer depends solely on how you honestly feel after reading. Until then, and in so many words...

The chains of boundary had never existed, Khaos had never died, and Welcome, to the limitless potentia of your unhinged Self.

As luck would have it, not all information regarding that which was sought may be found on this forum. As well, if you happen to find any other fronts of organization, those puzzles shall not contain all pieces, either. Such is the way we assume to insure that those who truly seek, will find. As they say, the rabbit hole goes deep, and infamy is gained within shadows. Answers are gained through communication, and willed activity. Although, some answers are as readily available as one might deserve:

-"We" consist of many names, in many countries. We are separated, yet united.
-"We" work for the Economy of Dream, and fight against the Economic Prison.
-"We" recognize divinity as being the Human Imagination, and all that it had spawned.
-This does not constitute all that which is Imagined is Unreal within Experience.
-"We" work for the Total Liberation of Autonomous Individuals.
-"We" are you, "You" are us, and we are everywhere at once.
-Inspiration is a key which unlocks that which was already open.
-You are welcome to join us, the string in the labyrinth has been offered, and those who will delve, will delve.

Our Lives Shall be Transformed by Our Lives

We wish you Luck, and above all, Joy

DTTI:HTNF

The hand that had written these words does not exist.
