Colleagues:
Note: this is mainly a NAP update, but mods might want to shift it to the Black Magic forum instead.
Being a NAP rookie, I've been spending a good amount of time researching the entities and thinking about the grimoire (part of how I create a subjective synthesis with any magical text). I have performed 2 NAP rituals. The one I can talk about right now is outlined and described below in order to add to the common knowledge of NAP on these forums and to solicit suggestions. I end with a question for those who have more experience with this grimoire/system than I do.
The Background: I know someone professionally who is skilled in shamanism and what I think might be a Native American metaphysical system. This person and I normally have no reason to interact. So, even though we don't get along on those seldom occasions when we have to work together, we're both civil enough to carry such things off and exist on opposite ends of the office--or so I have thought. I'm not the sort to begin arbitrarily cursing people who rub me the wrong way. I believe cursing is a lot like profanity--those who use it sparingly use it to great effect. In fact, I haven't ever done anything mundane or magical against her, preferring to keep my criticisms to myself. I do not gossip in the workplace as a matter of personal ethics.
Recently, I learned that this woman has been (1) spreading nasty rumors about me around the workplace; (2) actively working to sabotage my projects when I'm not around; and (3) saying a lot of extremely negative things about my wife (who she barely knows). The problem is further complicated by the fact that my offensive coworker is in an almost impregnable defensive position in the office. She, like me, does a job that the organization
cannot do without. If I complained about her, administration would do nothing. And, in truth, she is good at what she does. What she is not good at is hiding her nastiness, sabotage, and "brown filing" from me.
Even worse, the fact that she has been using chantwork of some sort against me was corroborated by a mutual friend and confirmed by some pendulum divination. I know this woman is a metaphysically minded person and skilled in an eclectic form of shamanism--or, at least, she claims to be. I can respect that (and would respect it more if she weren't normally crazier than a drunken loon). In short, she's a real pain in the ass; she's actively (or passively) working against me; and I've experienced a LOT of negativity in my life lately. I haven't been able to pinpoint the source. It seems to be coming from everywhere. Even if I hadn't talked with a third party, I would have been a bit suspicious of this woman.
Therefore, I have concluded that something magical needs to be done because--short of committing a felony--there's not a lot of mundane work I can do to extract this thorn from my side. So why not send something to kill her in traffic and be done with it? Even from my LHP karma / threefold law-rejecting perspective, her acts do not, in themselves, warrant a curse (to the degree of potency I usually reach in my cursing). I cannot justify "killing a roach with a missile"--even though she is a cockroach in every way apart from the feelers
.
The Ritual: While looking for something that is not expressly lethal, NAP's anti-personnel rituals came to mind. Now, I'm fully aware that even those rituals could theoretically take someone out in the worst way. I can accept that (sometimes magic is not precise). But the NAP operations don't seem as cold-blooded as, say, invoking one of the murderous names of Marduk, a bloodthirsty demon, or performing a darker, more Satanic conjuration of destruction.
If it had just been gossip, I could have used the "Etheric Shrapnel Ritual." But I think I'm dealing with some "hindering" work aimed at me and my family as well. Instead, I decided to implement the "Occult Judo Ritual" this morning.
My steps were as follows:
1. Relaxation
2. LBRP
3. Middle Pillar
4. Circulation of the Body of Light
5. NAP Power Ritual
6. NAP Bornless Invocation
7. Occult Judo Ritual
8. Dee Hay Thooth Invocation
The results were kind of amazing. In the course of one day (today), she was asked by admin. to compose a thank-you to me for a recent project idea / recent efforts and to facilitate the project to its completion. I know this because it was in the letter she emailed today. What's more, she is not a secretary. I am kind of astounded.
Never let it be said that NAP does not work.
However, my question to those of you who are more experienced users of this grimoire is: should I continue with this? The text of the ritual states that it will cause an enemy to "experience whatever was sent out at you" (163). Do you think I am correct in assuming that she is experiencing the same kind of upset and "stabbed-in-the-back" feelings that she created in me? I have not seen anything but her email so far. Do you think I should persist with daily repetitions of this ritual until I am positive that she has been paid in full?
Best,
Mxs
