Hey everyone! We wanted to record a little something as a followup to our previous full length episode on Ego Magick.

Episode Description:

In this long overdo episode of FG2TO, I cover a topic I had been teasing since the middle of season 1 - Invocation! We will discuss this in the context of a few different traditions while also covering the importance of protection, banishing, and similar work. Remember, this is not the type of thing to play around with, nor is it something that should be attempted by a novice practitioner. Please use the information you find here wisely.

Ancient Egyptian Divination & Magic by Elenore L Harris

In this episode Luxa & Hector dig a little deeper into the realm of Ego Magick. There's so much to cover on this topic, we couldn't nearly do it all in one episode, so we will be revisiting this concept in future episodes! We start out with discussing some basic psychological concepts, then dig into the idea of Ego Magick. Of course we spend some time discussing our own experiences with the topic, before giving a sample ritual you can use (or more likely modify) to get started with this branch of the tree of chaos!
