An Astral Journey

I wanted to share a person story I've never shared with anyone.  I didn't even write this in my journal.  Ten years ago my brother was engaged to marry the 16 year old girl he had knocked up.  One night I called a spirit (I won't say which one) using my Black Mirror.  I performed all of my rites and rituals.  Spoke the proper chants and invoked the correct energies to it's desired effect.  It was a hot summer night but the world around me faded.  There was hesitation in the air as I waited patiently for my spirit to come forward.  My mind started to get that familiar numbness of passing from the conscious world into that unseen place.  There was a shimmer from within the black emptiness of my mirror.  My gaze focused on this and I was drawn into it with a waking vision.  I saw an ocean which stretched to the horizon and on the left was  a rocky embankment.   From the water a swan rose breaking the surface like a majestic figure.  It's wings spread out to either side.  I tested his name and authority.  He passed the tests.  No came the purpose in my calling him.  I wanted to know what my unborn brother's child would look like.

The creature's chest lit with fire which grew out of control on it's heaving chest and within this flame I saw a child who's age was three.  I recognized my brother.  The child sat there with a smile.  I didn't recognize the wall behind him but this boy was all too familiar.  I thanked the spirit for this vision and sent him back to that hidden place from whence he came with my blessing.  My brother married this girl and months later had his son.  Because he was able to find a high paying job he bought a house my nephew, Jessie, had his own room who's walls I now recognized.  At the age of three I saw that face I had seen three years earlier.  I don't know why I was shown this vision at the age of three.  Perhaps it had to do with the development of my brother's life.

Now here's the interesting part.  This spirit did not actually exist in the traditional sense.  This wasn't a known spirit in the Occult world. This was a spirit of my own creation or discovery.  One of my Imagi Spirits.  This shows that thought forms can be given life.  However with further development of my system I found that this was a dummy spirit.
Out of 1,344 spirits only 21 were actual true spirits yet the spirit I evoked that night worked flawlessly.  I recommend to anyone to create your own methods for working the energies.  The Grimoires were written from unique perspectives and it's sad that we, years later, rape those books for our own ends.  Those spirits existed at the time for a reason and will forever remain timeless as long as they remain within our conscious thoughts.  Now remember that some people who dabble bring thoughts which corrupt and haunt them.  That's why there are so many stories from "born again" Christians who speak out against such practices.  Don't make that same mistake.  These spirits are called Intelligence for a reason.
