I was reading over Gaap’s offices/areas in the book and then the meditation notes given by the author when I heard, “Don’t I get a say?”
Me: “Of course. Please do.”
Gaap: “I think you should use me for both that mass cursing project you know you should do and for bolstering you ability to get what you want from others without having to ask or (deliberately) manipulate them for it.”
M: “And so I shall.”
G: “Good, let’s start with the curse. You have scores of minions and upper level entities ready to do you bidding on this curse, but you haven’t thoroughly thought of how to best go about it (reducing their defenses or help)”
M: “I usually take suggestions or do it myself.”
G: “These are in the hundreds (the subset I want to target most heavily). Over a thousand of the general ‘bad luck’ sorts. But the hundreds will have some protections because of their recent bolstering. I would set them up for the work first.”
M: “I see. I saw in my head that I should lean on several entities to reduce those, but you didn’t show yourself.”
G: “Correct. I will lead it.”
M: “Done.”
G: “You won’t need the direction, but others may. Copy this down.”
Ritual:
- Facing the Northwest, call out to Gaap and request his presence in your space.
- Call Gaap until you feel a shifting of his presence, feel his gaze, or feel him enter your space.
- Describe the situation you want changed.
- If he agrees, listen or use divination (pendulum and list would work) to determine who else to call.
- Call on those entities in your name and at the ‘(behest/suggestion/request) of Gaap’ and restate the situation.
- Determine who agrees to help and restate what parts they are to have in the situation.
- Ask for their suggestions on what else could/should be done.
- Make offerings for those that agree to help.
- Thank them for coming and state they can go in peace – leave it open ended or put a boundary on it, such as within the hour or day. (You did invite them for offerings.)
- Perform your ritual part for the situation – if any – and then move on to let them do their parts, too.
Instead of doing the Freewrite, which was based off of the Meditation he had me bypass, I did a couple of rituals with him. The first was to enable and remove blockages for a friend working on a formal harassment complaint.
The second was to do the opposite for someone else. I asked that the right people effectively start curtailing an abuse of power, but caveated that it needed to be done effectively. If it isn’t, I don’t think it will be worth the effort.
With each of these requests, handled like individual asks in succession, an entity came forward that Gaap had called to listen to the request. One was a masculine, rough energy for the curtailing and the other was a gentler, empowering feminine spirit to help my friend. I wasn’t expecting them to show up before Gaap did and I almost tossed them out until I realized they were there on behalf of Gaap.
I didn’t know where I was projecting to, but I focused on Gaap and sent myself outwards. I landed at a field. A field I had been to many times before, in different forms. Sometimes this was for the Kasdeya, sometimes for the 76 Week Goetia.
G: “Do you know where you are?”
M: “I do.”
G: “And why are you (returning) here?”
M: “Because there are things I still need to learn in this landscape.”
G: “Why is that?”
M: “I don’t know.” (I could tell that the ‘answer’ wasn’t that I should spend more time here)
G: “It should be a place of importance.” He gestured towards a valley I could partly see between two peaks. There was a fire, but this was man-made. There were warring factions down there. Some were between those of the same race (human) and between humans and other races (look like monsters). “Yes, they look like monsters. But are they?”
M: “No, they are largely fighting themselves, I think. Parts of themselves.”
G: “And thus by fighting it (in this way), they will lose to the monsters.”
I could see that those who somewhat recognized this stopped fighting and the monsters did, too. The monster-monster fighting continued and I didn’t know why.
G: “Control. Those are the different factions fighting to be the ‘monster’ of the human. Influence, not literal.”
M: “And that fighting keeps continuing.”
G: “It will always be so. It is their nature to be that way.”
M: “But this isn’t a fight between Good and Evil or even Evil vs Evil.”
G: “No, it isn’t. (he was pleased)”
M: “But I can feel this is being watched, just not interfered with.” (he nodded)
G: “That is all. We are done for now.”
M: “But why are they watching, if they won’t intervene?”
G: “Who said they wouldn’t?” (I was forcibly, but not roughly, removed from the scene)
It has been several weeks since I started Gaap’s week, due to necessary delays while other things were changing.
G: “You’ve learned a lot this week (these weeks)”
M: “Have I? I can feel changes I can’t quite identify, but other than changes to my ritual space, I can’t place much more than that.”
G: “Oh? And the elementals you can now feel all over this island with attention alone?”
(I had noticed I was noticing more entities from much further out than before, but figured this was simply my attention being focused)
G: “No, it’s not just that. You’re part of the land now, in a sense. Because of your connection to her. I wish you well and our ‘week’ is over.”
Thank you, Lord Gaap. And for your patience.
Hail Gaap!
