I’ve been quite quiet lately. My latest trip to Hawaii Island left me with an overwhelming amount of work and personal work to do. Most of which is still ongoing. That makes perfect surface level sense, but things are much more complicated than that. Some of it is still unfolding, so even my understanding isn’t “perfect”, like that ever happens with genuinely meaningful things that are shams.
I had been passed a book about creating “lines” and bringing them into this world, by Josephine McCarthy. There’s a free version on the Internet Archive. https://archive.org/details/workofhierophant0000mcca . This produced enough profound changes that my practice virtually STOPPED, in most of the meaningful areas, until some inner work and cementing needed done. I was finally told I could continue the “Golden Light” ritual that I have done nearly daily for what…just under two years?
So, a lot of changes going on that I can feel, but don’t necessarily understand. I’m not looking to create a physical lodge or similar here. I don’t know that I’ll be in Hawaii after 3 years.
I will be creating a “school” of sorts for Pele’s line that I was already walking down. The “line” portion is more like a line of succession or shared source, which I like better. My Pele is MY Pele. Yours will be yours. Nowhere near that yet. Still working on the second grimoire and this “line”, which I literally carry inside me and will even when it is duplicated into an object to use as an anchor.
So, just a quick update. Most of the details won’t matter outside of the “school” and the truth is that I only have fragments at the moment. There are things happening, but the timing has to be considered and that was part of the agreement. Not looking to get divorced and all that because a lot of heavy, energetic changes are taking place when I have to function in my day-to-day.

Why would you have to get a divorce ? Do you mean you would become somehow insufferable?
How have you leveraged the immense amount of help you have from the Goetics and others?
What are you giving that is attracting them and engaging them on your level? What do they gain from their association with you? What is their motivation ?
How did you attain this level of discernment? How would someone else achieve this?
The divorce part was a concern due to the drastic and dramatic changes that can happen when you take on the energies of a Line into yourself. The characteristics of that line will sort of bleed over into your life and the more dramatic and sudden they are, the greater the likelihood of strife. McCarthy recommends staying away from family and friends, outside of lodge members that would know what’s going on so the sudden changes can normalize a bit before you go back to the waking world.
The Goetic spirits don’t have anything to do with this. It was Belial and Abaddon that told me I’d have work to do on Hawaii Island when I first met Pele, but she isn’t in that grouping of spirits.
What they are gaining and their motivations are always a wonder to me. Sometimes, it’s obvious. They gain a wider audience, more attention, greater “fame” outside of the usual circles. etc… This normally also includes gaining energy from gifts and offerings, too. There is a difference between spirits that have gotten gifts, attention, offerings and those that are dormant of followers for one reason or another.
How I gained this level of discernment. Experience and stepping out of my comfort zone. If one looks back at the beginning of my current practice, it’s a variety of different practices, with different types of magical rituals and experiences. This has left me with A LOT of different energetic exchanges. Doing the same ritual or having the same experiences over and over again only really make you good at those things, in my opinion. No one becomes an expert hiker by only using the running track at the local school.
Really, I credit my actual start, when I was a teenager and would try to feel the energies around me, similar to the Jedi telling their students to feel The Force all around them. That initial exercise is immensely useful for feeling nuances in the environment and I still use it to this day on a daily basis. Pele’s Grimoire is a way someone else can start their journey down a similar path and that exercise of feeling and discerning things and the environment is baked into a lot of the exercises and rituals.
