>>4868I kinda fear it's a bit of both. Novice magic and my family has a history of mental illness. My grandfather went crazy in his 50s, but not a bad crazy, but fun and goofy crazy like he just stopped giving a fuck. I was in a dark place during C0V1D. Full blow alcoholic, isolated, and lonely. I started delving into magic and made a plea to any spirit that would hear me to help me overcome my loneliness. Well, I'm not alone anymore. Careful what you wish for.
>>4864When I smoke weed, I hear music, new music, that my head is composing in real time. I also start hearing voices if I get too sleepy. This phenomena didn't start to occur till after I'd summoned the shadows.
>>4869>Do you know what's causing your blindness or if there's anything that can be done about it?Retinal tears and macular degeneration.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozZQIZ_52YYI go to a retina specialist now and we've discussed retina surgery for the tears and once progressed enough, eye injections till the end. This explains part of my problem because you could ask, "Are you really seeing shadows and flashes of light or just imagining it?" The answer may be both. The flashes of light and shadows and floaters are all part of the symptoms.
>What are your experiences like working with her? Have you seen her or anything?No. It seems to me that the major deities like YAHWEH, Lilith, and Hecate don't work with noobs. That's why you need Jesus, Angels, Fallen, or lesser gods to work with. My original plea was to YAHWEH and Hecate, or an SOS to whoever would hear me. That's when Hecate helped, but later referred me to working with Artemis. Major gods are jealous of each other, but lesser gods don't seem to mind. I also pray to Michael and Raphael, as well as Artemis, Hermes, and Persephone. It gives me a balance of light and dark. They play together nicely, so it seems. INB4 "You're going to hell, magician!"
This all started with Lucid Dreaming. Once I realized I possessed this talent and could work with it, I chased it. This was a result of something called "shift worker syndrome" from screwing with my circadian rhythms and sleep patterns too frequently. My body was awake while my mind was asleep and my body was asleep while my mind was awake. This takes you to the border where dreams blend into reality.
