[...] so having a physical, original copy that the author consecrated through ritual, would be a variable. Is it true that the author consecrated each individual copy? I always tough that it was a "commercial book" and the author never talked about the importance of the physical book in h...

c'est la vie but i'm more curious as to the variable that makes it not work for them..... This is something that imho we should really look into: after all, I like the idea of a system of magic without external tools and I'm willing to fix whatever could be fixed in order to make this NAP thing a w...

No, I don't.
I've just the rituals on paper, but not the all book.

Ok. After a pause with NAP, I tried it again yesterday to see if depression was just a symptom of overdoing. It's not. Normally, I don't suffer any depression nor psycho-probs at all. My mind is fine. BUT, when I practice this NAP thing (no matter which invocation), I get an horrible depression. Jus...

Never had any problems with Arzel, Elubatel on the other hand......well...Ive experienced depression in many forms. Everything goes chaotic....energy shooting from every angle upside down...right,left,east,south etc... good and bad. Very fast moving at one time. Your mind when invoking/evoking Elub...

It makes about as much sense as fighting a box...

In my opinion, this depression is not something related to lack of grounding. Due to my previous experience with shamanism, i think that this could be caused by working in the city and not in nature: when one does a ritual, he opens himself to the spirits who naturally live in that particular enviro...

Did invocation of Elubatel for a week with high intensity. I'm a one-technique-freak, so this was just the first step in my schedule with NAP: Mastery of the invocations. Some day I did it more than twice. Now, I experience a very strong depression. Today, I literally cannot do the ritual: I feel it...

According to the instruction of true Adepts like Israel Regardie, if evocation is done incorrectly one can attract forces from the astral planes which resonate best with him... even while using the correct Divine Names and sigils. Hence, it's plausible that some people may find it easier to work wit...
