Been a while since I cursed someone seriously. Most of my enemies are no longer causing problems. Most haven’t for a while. I DO keep lists of those I wish to…smite with “LOVE”, but any “LIGHT” is the light of understanding they’re dealing with something they could’ve avoided. If the victim is dead, I also call them forth and make sure they’re in a better place and use my relationships with psychopomps and Death entities to help secure them support that may be needed.
Since I don’t use emotion for fuel, you may wonder why I do it. I’ve been told in the past that I should act as a bulwark of sorts. I will fulfill this role I’ve agreed to until told otherwise. I wasn’t told that this early evening.
My latest posts do go over how I’ve been looking at this sort of intervention, even (sort of) forensic interventions, from a Taoist perspective . This seems simple, but it’s also part of the reason for the conflict. It was one of these entities that asked me to fulfill this role more “officially”. It’s one I’ve gravitated towards, often at expense to my safety, time, and materials.
And I would wonder, why am I the one that this happens to? These weren’t MY fights. All were unequal fights. All involved someone of more strength preying upon someone weaker than them. Most of those involved on either side weren’t “angels”, but they didn’t deserve what was happening to them. Most were good people getting preyed upon.
And the majority of these resulted in growth for myself, too. I would NOT have gotten these experiences from my own life. My life is extremely stable. Physically, emotionally, etc… I’ve put in a lot of work there, too, long before I got back into any serious “spiritual” paths. Counseling, school for years in several fields… I put in the same work I’ve put in since with the Occult. I was asked to intervene because I needed those experiences and wouldn’t get them on my own. This was years before I was given the “charge” to act similarly when prompted to.
I’ve taken a neutral stance to most things for a while as I’ve been working through the magical Taoism path over the past year. Most of me “international” work stopped, outside of comfort and healing requests, which area always appropriate in a world like this. My “list” hasn’t grown or shrunk meaningfully. Single digits is my guess, which tells you how often I interact with it. I hinted at this issue early on in this post – (my links have gotten screwy with this new tablet with a keyboard) https://occulthouseofnorse900.com/the-paladin/
I essentially walked away to work on that part of myself that needs to let others also deal with things. The “fronts” that I had worked on stalled. All of them. Very little has happened since. And I would wonder, rightfully, about whether my need to walk away was justified. I can’t quantify the deaths, suffering, and similar that would’ve either happened or been prevented if I had “done more”. It was time for me to step back, to not feel that weight and responsibility. After years of saying, “Sometimes, those with the ability have a responsibility”. I had lived up to that for years. I can genuinely say my efforts mattered in an era where others are cursing the Moon.
And having stepped away and gotten that distance for this period of time, I was getting used to it and feeling less guilty when I was being pulled to help, even if I wasn’t following the news for that…topic… I have made efforts at comfort and peaceful directions, but nothing else. Getting called out for it tonight, nicely, politely, by being reminded of my obligation of sorts, I realized and was told that I cannot simply shy away from that, stick my head in the sand, and wish it all away.
When multiple Gods/Goddesses/Immortals/ETC come and say it is time to get back in the fray, it likely is. Different pantheons, different relationships. Different “classes” of spirits, some I’ve known for one year, others for numerous. It’s the sort of weight of evidence one can’t deny without considering.
And I will open my offensives tomorrow.
There’s a loud ass, mouthy, public, shit stirrer that doesn’t provide any genuine value to anyone but idiots. I will not degrade my own government in any way, as I cannot by oath and am unwilling to, so that is off the table. I can’t fix the fools that believe this snake oil salesman (your second hint). Nothing in the comments, please.
I will go back to “international” work soon, after the Shit Stirrer special is fed my version of scat. While my “nuclear” cool downs have been maintained, the rest hasn’t. I will reopen at least three fronts in as many weeks. I’ve had some Occult pushback from sympathetic magicians in the past that others have seen and experienced. I don’t know what’s happened since then on these fronts. Some may present themselves. I had almost…dinged….a few foreign public figured last time that have resulted in useless deaths, but that dropped off on my hiatus.
A different front has known magical religious folk, so I will be watching when that one opens up. This could be equally serious, but there isn’t anyone helping to get tagged this time as collateral damage. They can cast against groups and the magic can flow towards the easiest to hit, as it has a tendency to. No group on my end, so I don’t have to worry about that.
The third front is largely preventative. I’ve been known to call on and make offerings to, say, Land spirits to get help and cooperation for more environmental things. I take an interest in nuclear reactors, healthy or not, and give offerings and offer reasonable help to bolster efforts in those areas. I do this for things similar to nuclear weapons/powerplants, too.
My offensive will start soon. I will be making videos for each, where I explain what I’m doing and as much of the “why” as I can without giving it away.
Ruck up, Soldier. Time to go back downrange. Having been there both physically and with the Occult… I have an idea of what I’m in for.
Reporting for duty.
