The Goetic Daemon Clauneck: The price of merit.

All things have merit or a weight of measure that a value placement can be assigned and once a value has been discerned anything can be made a commodity for trade. Even we people are price assessments to each other, and should esoteric lore be correct, we find our value actively assessed by non-physical entities also.

This is how we start investigating the principalities of the spirit “Clauneck”, a prominent spirit of the Grimorium Verum, and member of the Goetic spirits proper.

Dominant to magical themes of Europe’s dark-ages was estimating the worth of a soul, and haggling what could be gained in respect of wealth or supernatural powers in selling it to an agent of, or the “Man Downstairs” (the Devil) directly.

The Sigil of the Goetic Daemon Clauneck

The Grimorium Verum says this about Clauneck , “has power over, goods, money, and finances”, “can bestow great wealth”, and finally, “he is much loved by Lucifer”. The last entry is auspicious knowing that Europe’s magical practices saw the Devil, attributed to being Lucifer, as a spiritual pawnbroker.

A quick aside; Lucifer is not a name but a title, and contrary to common erroneous belief, there are thousands of entities holding that title not just one.

Any Lucifer is an intercession entity, and cardinal to the fixed position solar mysteries (astrological Leo) at the center of the crossroads, universal or otherwise. In the earliest Kaballa based Christian cults was the Jesus-Lucifer solar dichotomies both being sons (suns) of God and equally representing, “the light, the truth and the way”.

Lucifer opens or closes the doors of destiny, and blocks or unblocks the roads of progress.

The many European Lucifers have shaped the Exu legion of the Kimbanda cult of Brazil and Lucifer’s counter parts are the many “caminos” (roads) pertaining to Ellegwas, Eshus, and Luceros of African Diaspora religions.

Clauneck “much loved by Lucifer” is an agent thereof, and so entrusted with accessing astral bank vault. Clauneck is who a myriad of modern day Hermetic occultists demand or beg money from, and while rightly so this is where their understanding of Clauneck’s vast dominion begins and ends.

Principle to the mysteries of Clauneck is decreeing of value.

In the Grimorium Verum Clauneck is first or “numero uno” in the ordering of the eighteen servitor spirits.

This is not happenstance.

Cauneck’s numbering demonstrates his supremacy within the legion’s hierarchy, and denotes the respect held for him by Lucifer. However even more importantly the number one is the first indication of value by which all value is essentially an addition or subtraction of “1” or a sum totals of “1s”.

It is through Clauneck that the tradition contained within the Grimorium Verum can go from “0” or un-manifested to “1” meaning manifested, or a no-thing to a some-thing.

A brief dissection of Clauneck’s sigil helps glean insight into his nature.

The sigil of Clauneck is an amalgamation of the brain, eye, and heart with a hint of the male phallus (the function is the same in respect to female genitalia).

The brain, eye, heart and phallus are four weighing scales by which merit is assessed.

1. The brain with knowledge and experience.

2. The eye deciphering ascetic and contour.

3. The heart through emotional reactions.

4. The phallus by way of sexual charge or interest.

While these scales are separate, they do not operate independent, and full evaluation is the result of tallying all the final registers together.

Clauneck’s sigil illustrates how we weigh the merit of whom and what we interact with. This illumination is not meant to initiate exercises in going against our natures, nor trying to deny what we have always done. Making assessments are paramount to our wellbeing and survival. Rather we should use Clauneck’s sigil to make these value judgments with amplified clarity through our source of new found insight.

As a spirit of acquisition, commerce, and wealth, Clauneck is “free market” in the most extreme sense. Just like the “market” Clauneck has no moral objections, and will offer advice on trafficking humans as dispassionately as he would if queried on the selling of cupcakes. Clauneck cares nothing for the product it’s self, but instead its worth.

As off-putting as this seems it terms of unnerving frankness and uncorrupted honesty, Clauneck is priceless in his unbiased counsel.

All initiates of the Goetic tradition I inherited must willingly stand on Clauneck’s “auction block”.

What transpires is a mentally arduous and physically excruciating ritual in which Clauneck

evaluates the potential of the subject. A rough but fair rendering is issued and the seeker is left to consider his or her options. Those truly desiring strength will heed the verdict and commit themselves to the labors handed down to remedy the discovered short comings. Those who ignore Clauneck’s ruling possibly find themselves bought and sold, but I can say nothing more about this.

Undoubtedly the Goetic tradition I practice demands the forging of a resolute and uncompromisingly stiff upper lip.

Luckily you do not have to occupy the rank and file of my Goetic tradition to benefit from consulting Clauneck. You will however need to prepare yourself for the brazen unsweetened truth Clauneck will spoon feed you when asked for his adjudication.

Clauneck pulls no punches in detailing what it is about you, or what is in your life which either devalues, or increases your own personal merit.

The mystic or magician would gain much by taking advantage of Clauneck’s unflinching authenticity, and petition Clauneck to make a full assessment of their own strengths and weaknesses.

There is no other Goetic spirit who can tell you with such exactitude what you ought to either ditch or apply ample spit and polish in order to better sell yourself to potential employers, friends or lovers than Clauneck.

In my spiritual temple Clauneck is conjured with regularity so that all members can best promote their own health, wealth and wellbeing. Clauneck sees that this temple’s merit supports and is supported by an abundance of successful workings and people who consistently increase the value of this ever growing community.

The pact with the Nfumbe: The hand of the living clasping the hand of the dead.

Within the grand universal mechanism of Palo Mayombe lies the one essential component of Palo's ignition.

Much like Nkuyu or Lucero is the falling star, the spark of life that star seded life on this planet, the Nfumbe is the fiery spark which starts the awesome machine called Palo Mayombe.

Without Nfumbe there is no Palo, there is no Palero, no Palera, and no religion. Nfumbe is the bridge between the living and the dead, the micro and the macro, the priest/ess and Nzambi as well as the Mpungo.

It is the pact a Palero/Palera makes with the Nfumbe which initiates them into the mystery tradition of Palo Mayombe and gives them license to call the attention of the Mpungo.

The Nfumbe is a single spirit of the dead who the priest/tess makes a life long pact with.

A pact to care for the Nfumbe, see to his or her well being and aid in their continued elevation or spiritual progression. In turn the Nfumbe acts as the priest/tess' s liaison within the kalunga or endless sea of the dead. The Nfumbe is the sole familiar spirit of the Palero or Palera and works for their protection, health, and attain victory in all their battles.

Without this pact no feat in Palo Mayombe can be accomplished. No Nganga or Prenda will blaze with life, no Mpaka will activate, and no spiritual congress will gather. All functions struck null and empty.

The mediumship preformed with the Nfumbe is paramount and in direct relfection of the relationship between Nzambi and humans, so much so it is the sum total of what the religion of Palo Mayombe is.

You cannot strike a pact with an Nfumbe without Palo Mayombe. Both are one in the same.Palo Mayombe is not the Nganga, or even the Mpaka, but the hand of the living reaching out for the hand of the dead, both pulling each other up in kind. Palo Mayombe is that before all else and nothing without it.

Palo Mayombe is about relationship. Man's relationship with the universe, with nature, with his or her community, house and temple. The preist or priestess' s relationship to their ancestors, and the desires of their own hearts. The relationship with Nfumbe touchs on, reveals and enhances all relationships the Palero or Palera has and forces reexamination with all.

The truth of this makes pale and shallow the idiotic valuation on the sacred act of necromancy by which the priest or priestess speaks with his or her Nfumbe, ancestor or errent dead and exercises acts of religion with or through them.

These fraudulent black magic hoaxsters so-called "living gods" profane these scared acts not by any infernal device but by sheer quackery and make mockery of the medium of necromancy. The joke they make of the goetic mysteries alone is unforgivable, and their attempt to align themselves with Palo Mayombe, Voudu and Kimbanda through the public's  ignorance of such traditions is just further examples of what complete shit stains these swindlers are.

There is no room for falsehood in Palo Mayombe. The prenda and the mpaka can be useless bootleg fabrications but the pact between priest/tess and the Nfumbe, between flesh and spirit can never be faked.

One can recite seven types mumbo-jumbo, draw all sorts of symbols, and leave generous offerings all in the theme of Palo Mayombe but that is all it is...themed. Without the essential component of the Nfumbe to bridge these acts to the Kalunga, and act as an agent on behalf of the priest or priestess, there is no Palo Mayombe and thereby no authenticity.

Palo Mayombe is all facets of human experience and all considerations of the Universe. The good, the bad, the beautiful and the ugly lies in the heart of the Palero or Palera. Those summer breezes or great raging storms are brought to or carrier away by the Nfumbe on behlaf of that priest or priestess.

It is time the public sees Palo Mayombe as a salve to wounds, and remedy to sickness, a temple in the heart of a community... not the curse hurling, corpse tampering, demon summon Halloween reject practice portrayed by certain unfortunates who sadly got way more attention then they deserve.

In my house the Nfumbe is honored and venerated. Palo Mayombe is practiced, and lived authentically. We sing, dance and commune with all the seasons, conditions and facets that flow through the portal of the Mpaka and are  forecast by my Nfumbe.

 Here true Palo Mayombe lives. By this strong communities are born and thrive.

Goetic Energy Work and Circulation.

It is no surprise that magic is a practice where “energy” is the primary focus. Ask any occultist what magic is and you will no doubt hear some variation of this: “magic is the bending or manipulating “energy” to the will or desire of the occultist”.
It seems that answer is good enough for most, as it has been rehashed and regurgitated Ad-nauseam, but rarely ever effectively expanded upon.
The reason?
I believe because few have any real grasp of that answers implication.
It is true that magic is the bending/shaping of energy to mirror the will/desire of the occultist. Nothing wrong with the answer on the surface as it is wholly correct. The problem is that occultists use that small bit of knowledge (a dangerous thing) as a goal post for occultism, rather than the starting line for which it really is.
Magic is the energy of “response to stimuli”.
Thereby in order to conform to any sort of bending to will, or shaping to meet desire, there must be sufficient will or desire in order to correspond too.
The greater majority of modern occultists are weak.
They do not transmit their own will or desire strongly enough to stimulate a response from the magical linage they practice (sadly made worse that much of those magical lineages are from what I have termed the “hodgepodge lodge” a piece mail collection methods held in various different organized systems patch worked together into a disorganized ineffectual method of getting nowhere fast).
When I call most modern day occultists weak I do so without apology.
If someone is energetically weak, they are first weak both mentally and physically.Modern day occultism especially that of Western based mystery traditions, and steadily increasing include the African based mysteries, have become havens for the pseudo-intellectualist, the self-entitled, and limp wristed passive-aggressive idealist.
These people tend to be soft, easily rattled, impulsive, talk but no action, thought but no deed, theorist but no application based individuals.
It is small wonder why they can never seem to have any real interactions with spirits, their magical work is sub-par and their lives are mired in fantasy rather than reality.
Magic responses to what you bring to the table.
By virtue of still breathing you have a certain energy field however it is the grade, and condition of that energy field which needs to be addressed.Just because you stand in front on an altar and make demands, does not mean that anything will feel compelled to response.So what is energy?
Energy is the result of movement carrying mass.
All physical matter is super compressed empty particles, or “energies” condensed to give the impression they are inert. However these practices still hum and vibrate which gives off frequency, or sound. That sound being high pitched or low in pitch still have physical effects because of the movement of the weight behind it.  Your thoughts have a sub-atomic mass, a weight, which moves at the “speed of thought”, which now has in some cases been measured.The move structured-vivid-defined a thought is the heavier (in terms of sub-atomic weight) that thought is, and the more energy will be produced when driven by speed of thought.
Imagine a small marble hitting a wall at 180 mph; now imagine the energy produced by a 16lb cannon ball hitting that same wall at 180 mph.
The difference in effect would be notable to say the least.Many modern day occultists have not, and do not, perform ANY type of structured energy work.
Why? I feel it is primarily laziness. Energy work is well work, and if there is anything soft, self-entitled people hate its work.I also believe that cogitative dissonance plays a role too.
For so long these occultists have defended their position that no one can tell them what to do, and to just do whatever feels right. Seeing that doing just whatever you want and whatever feels good is the perfect road map to nowhere, they would rather continue down the road to nowhere rather than admit they were wrong.
The purpose of energy work is to take undeveloped thoughts, gradually build weight behind them and move and or sustain them for durations of time.You are effectively taking that marble sized thought and transforming it into a 16lb cannon ball in respect the type of response you will get it that type of stimuli.
I will introduce the first “circulation” of the energy work method I inherited from my Godfather in the Goetic linage held in my house.
You might “think” you know it or already perform it. I ask you not to make that mistake. For while you may in fact be at least familiar with it I invite you to really get to know the many components and refinements which have been lost on so many others. It could be that after you see the many different considerations that go into just this simple circulation, the method itself might be altogether new for you.The base: Stand. Relax. Close your eyes. Bring your attention to a sphere of soft white light the size of a basketball a foot above your head. Breathe in and as you exhale the sphere circulates down the left side of your body under you feet, and as you breathe in the sphere floats up the right side of your body back to above your head. Repeat 10 times.Consideration one: Your breath needs to remain absolute soft and silent. You should not hear your own inhales or exhales.Consideration two: You should not hold your breath. It is a tendency for many to hold their breath on the end of inhales or exhales. Your breath needs to be natural cycles; the exhale is the beginning of the inhale and vice verse. The rhythm needs to be developed and sustained.
Consideration three: The duration of the inhales and exhales should be mirrored and need to be built up to 10 seconds each of soft comfortable cycles of inhales and exhales with no breath holding. 20 seconds for each inhale and exhale.
Consideration four: The sphere of light must mirror your breath. The sphere of white must reach underneath your feet exactly when the next inhalation begins. The sphere of light must also be in transit over your head and down the left side of your body as your exhalation begins.
Consideration five: The sphere of light must be of steady shape, size, brightness, and speed throughout the entire process.Consideration six: the orbit of the sphere of light must be smooth and with no stops as this indicates interrupted breathing patterns or irregularities in breath.
I have not ever once meet anyone who can meet just two of these considerations starting out, and rarely is there anyone who has met even just one consideration.Energy work takes work, and it takes time.
It is a refinement process.These considerations make the work more effective and thereby the energy stimuli put out by a magician more likely to generate a stronger response from their magical system.
This makes more a more demanding but rewarding system of energy work.
I can honestly say that the energy work in the Goetic linage I inherited is light years beyond anything else I have found within the Western Mystery tradition widely practiced presently.
While there are even more considerations of just the first circulation, those will be enough to take the great majority of even so term occultists to a new level.
The body of energy work in my system, and its metaphysical composition is staggering.However is terms of just this circulation, simply read the exercise and apply “consideration one” to the base line. Once you can sustain “consideration one” apply “consideration two”, and so forth.
You will attain a very profound, power and refined energy circulation of which has tremendous carry over to all aspects of the occult.

Guland and the Adam Kadom of the Goetia.

In the structure of my Goetic magical linage the spirits of the Goetia are not just non-physical astral intelligences but also dominional frequencies which broadcast across an extremely wide spectrum of receivers in respect to their influences.

Simply put, the Goetic spirits have an associated place within the human being's spiritual, mental, and physiological matrix.

These in my linage these associated places is termed a spirit's "governance".

As the magician builds their astral temple, he or she will utilize each Goetic spirit as an essential building block expressed in their associated Grimorie's  tradition as the blue prints to it's construction.

 The 72 Goetic spirits of the Ars Goetia, The 18 Goetic spirits of the Grimorium Verum, and other associated configurations, represent such astral temples. It is vital the the magician keep each each Grimorie tradition pure and not cross one into another. This ultimately creates confusion, not only mentally, and spiritually, but energetically. These temples crumble easily, and their magician architects become increasing unstable themselves. 

Your physical body exists only because their is an astral body foundation (Yesod/Luna or "Foundation") to give instructions in how to build and maintain the physical body.

By making alterations to your  astral body your psychical body will follow course.

In truth nothing in the physical world can exist without its astral pre-component. Actively engaging the astral world will cause reflections of these actions to manifest in the physical world.

This is the truth in the axiom, "As Above, So Below".

Each spirit of the Goetia serves as an integral trigger inside ritual format which mimics the body of "man". This is the constructing/awakening what is called the "Adam Kadmon", the Goetic spirits come to have governance over bodily functions, and reside in the personal astral matrix/ Adam Kadmon of the magician. 

Building the astral temple making changes your astral body (Adam Kadmon in miniature) expanding it's capabilities, and broadening it's scope.

In respect to the Goetic spirit Guland of the Grimorium Verum, Guland's governance in the Adam Kadmon of the magician of his or her stomach, its associated functions and its trigger is the sensation hunger.

Guland's sigil is crudely reminiscent of the human stomach organ.

Sigil of Guland

The most base introductions of Guland state that Guland, "causes all diseases and illness". Seeing Guland's placement within the Adam Kadmon, this is actually a very profound statement, however it is sadly lost on the greater majority of the "so-called" avant-garde occultists...as these connections are noticeably absent from their many ridiculously over priced leather bound books (thankfully my Kimbanda connections are actually legit and I don't need to thieve from the Exus and Pombagira de astrals to figure out the spirits of the Goetia).

Most if not all diseases or illnesses have root in the stomach. Undigested food fermenting in the stomach  spawns all types of infections and other pathogens, from blood problems and neurological issues, and certainly will aggravate any present conditions.

However, Guland also being the frequency of hunger, his catabolic nature may also be amplified to clean and purify the rot and waste. 

Bearing all that in mind, any occultist with half a mind might realize both how frighteningly deep arcanum Guland is, and possibly how Guland's mysteries might be utilized.

It is probably apparent Guland's arcanum constitutes a large portion of the vampiric mysteries supported by any legit Goetic linage. Secrets like these can only be transferred via initiation as anyone brought into this tradition knows the cost of their breaking oaths, his or her magical lodge would collectively turn them into grey babbling husks of former humans before their book (or blog) could get published.

The vampiric nature of Guland is extremely dangerous and will always result in the full unhinging of the non-initiated mind psyche,  leading them to be devoured by the same vampiric powers they delusionally purport to have.

The sensation of hunger can "relatively" safely be meditated on to psychically connect with the Goetic spirit Guland. That sensation might also be amplified to create a specific resonance field for unspecified reasons for use within Guland's arcanum.

Once again touching on Guland's catabolic nature, the medium of controlled fasting may also bring about splendid health and healing benefits by ridding the body of built up toxins through purification. This does bring up the near completely forgotten aspects of Goetic medicine and something I might write more on in the future.

Suffice to say, the above information is enough to spark a great deal of "re"thinking the "modern" excuse of most Goetic/Hermetic traditions and practices.

I hope this serves to unapologetically stomp on the toes of certain fraudulent magicians who have become minor occult celebrities through their dismally low level "checkers" version of Goetia. It is high time to remind the masses that the Goetia is not a "checkers" minded magical tradition, but rather 7 layer chess.

How and when I employ black/aggressive magic in both Palo Mayombe and within my Goetic linage.

I recently completed a serious working in which I not only broke the dark enchantment over a client who was being targeted by an Indonesian sorcerer in the employ of an ex-lover, but also did great injury against both the sorcerer and his patron in return.

My client simply wanted to be free of her ex, and she could show me absolute proof (video evidence) of his physical abuse against her.

I am a true priest of Palo Mayombe, my only concern is the healing, protection and obtaining justice for good people. I am sick to fucking death with these fakes, frauds, and charlatans who "claim" to align themselves with Palo Mayombe but look like Halloween store rejects. Also within the Goetic tradition I inherited, and while it is linked with the infernal, it truly is the righteous side of hell.When it is time for me to protect others, know that I am coming to fight and hell is coming with me.

The fact this this Indonesian sorcerer would harm my client simply for the money forked out by this abusive and possessive ex, is abhorrent. 

I have no pity for him, and I have less for the ex.

I can, will and I do practice black/aggressive but ONLY under these terms and conditions.

"If you do me a favor, I will return to you an even greater favor. 

However if you harm me (or the innocent), I shall never offer the other cheek. 

You insult me, I will punch you in the mouth that insulted me. You punch me, I will break your arm which punched me. If  break my arm, I will break your leg. If you break my leg, I will put you in a coffin. You put me in a coffin, my ghost will devour your spirit and possess your body."

Magic means global reach.

It doesn't matter if they are in Indonesia, or say.....Kalamath Falls, Oregon.... I can and I will strangle my target with a terrible spectral hand.

I believe an armed society is a polite society, and that self entitled, sociopathic behavior is so rampant because people no longer fear the possibility of repercussions for their actions. If the result was to be held and made accountable for bad behavior, most would instead be polite and think long and hard before insulting, and committing or threatening violence against others.

The theology that revenge is wrong, I am of the opinion, is only preached by those most deserving of it.

If you commit wrong, then apologize and make it right.

Its called being a decent human being.

If a person acts like a rabid dog, I and anyone else who has any common decency will should have no problem putting them down for at that point they are a danger to themselves but more importantly a danger to others.

Vititi Congo/Sight of the Congo

While all Palo Mayombe is Cuban and is linked to the Congo of Africa, there seems to have been an attempt by other Palo Mayombe houses or musansos to distance themselves from their African roots. Why? I can’t say for sure.

 I have been told by other Paleros (priests of Palo Mayombe) that there is no such thing as African based Palo Mayombe, even though Mayombe was around thousands of years before Palo Mayombe and all the M’pungo (deities) of Palo Mayombe are Congolese.
 I tend to avoid such linage based nonsense from rama to rama (linage of Palo Mayombe) and continue to do what I know works because the results, accuracy and proficiency of my efforts with the spirits of the Congo.

One Palero recently wrote “In my rama (of Palo Mayombe) we are moving to a more heavily Mayombe approach”.

A very strange comment for someone already initiated into Palo Mayombe. Maybe it is an admittance that some Cuban houses of Palo Mayombe realize that they are hurting themselves by trying to deny their Congo linage. What does the Mayombe contain that the other ramas are missing? I am glad not to know.

I am happy to have been initiated into a Palo Mayombe house who considers itself more a Congo house rather than a Cuban one. We are most definitely “mayombe” and always have been.

Another issue might be the reason I get so many questions about the use of the M’paka, the third eye of a M’pungo, a portal, and a divination tool with no superior. It is made using a horn, and then filled with the mysteries of the M’pungo who resides over that M’paka, topped off with a round mirror (mensu-mensu)

M'paka

.

Through the trance work, and use of stimulates like tobacco kept secret in Palo Mayombe, the priest or priest can affect how they want to scry into the M’paka and for what purposes; remote viewing, seeing past and future events, astral projection, looking at someone’s health, viewing the dead, solutions to problems and even projecting influence over someone else. All through the M’paka and supported by the correct state of trance and stimulus.

This is called Vititi Congo, or the sight of the Congo. It is truly African art and maybe one of the things missing from other Palo ramas? From the amount of questions I get from scratched Palo Mayombe initiates about how to use the M’paka it seems as such. More awkward is the silence that follows after I ask them why their godfathers or godmothers do not teach them this.

Vititi Congo is something I make extremely heavy use of and a facet that makes Palo Mayombe truly formidable. Second only to Vititi Congo would be the divination practices I still work in the Goetic linage I inherited, and I do not say that lightly.

In my much younger years I remember watching Conan the Destroyer and the magical horn and god/monster. It gave me chills, and haunted my dreams. I knew even then some 30 years ago that I somehow someday would have a magical horn connected to the third eye of a powerful deity... thank you Palo Mayombe.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmvPLtawtKc

In fact just recently I found out from a friend of mine who is close to Arnold Schwarzenegger, and writers of the movie Conan the Destroyer that they researched elements of Ritual High Magic, Goetia, and yes even Palo Mayombe and bended them into the magical structure of that Hyborian world setting. Interestingly enough Hyboria resembles what in the secret tradition of my Goetic linage calls the 3^rd age of humanity.

Much of the mirror magic, East Asian sorcery, shape shifting and illusionary glamours found in Conan the
Destroyer is based in true practices.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HitAtndOsWw

Seeing that movie as a child of 7 or 8 ignited something inside me, like a remembering, and I heard a call that I follow even to this day. I found the Goetia and Palo Mayombe as a direct result.

Okay enough nostalgia.

Vititi Congo is essential to the practice of Palo Mayombe because it demonstrates the global and through my experiences, the universal reach of the M’pungo. It allows myself to come into correct alignment with them and in turn Nzambi, the great creator and true God of all things, and elevate my understanding of the mysteries that surround time, space, perception and connection.

When a priest or priestress of Palo Mayombe is able to see anything through the blessing of the M’pungo and Nzambi, it is clear they can attain anything through the blessing of the M’pungo and Nzambi. This is a vital component of the religion of Palo Mayombe, and a key insight into the Congolese spiritual worldview.

Through Nzambi all things are possible.

In true Congo tradition, Mayombe was practiced only by the royal and warrior caste. The M’paka served as the third eye of the M’pungo, but the prenda or Nganga was the body of the M’pungo. These where often buried and a tree planted over them. The priests would hold rituals around the tree, and whole communities would grow up around them. These trees still exist and some are thousands of years old, and the rama of Palo Mayombe I am a part is directed linked to a few of those trees.

The warriors of a tribe would carry the M’paka, and use it to decipher where their enemies where hiding, where to hunt, what trouble might lay ahead, what solutions to problems could be found, and even to speak with their ancestors. The M’paka is a portable and versatile tool linked back to the Nganga which gave birth to it and it the major power center.

The M’paka is a portal also. The priest or priest may call any of the M’ungo through the M’paka, as well as any spirit of the dead.

A truly wondrous and frightful utility is that the M’paka is a two-way portal and the priest or priestess may travel supported by the dead into the astral or Ndozi (dream) realm.

Someone very recently found out that Palo Mayombe has global reach as above mentioned, and thought that he could make threats of death and rape to someone under my protection, as long as they out of my physical reach.

I traveled through my M’paka into their Ndozi, and influenced their dream body to believing a large spider was eating their face. They woke to find that their physical body was mimicking their dream body and he had torn open large gashes into his cheeks that required stitches close.

Should this need to happen again, it will be much, much worse…

But through a similar application I could also look into a sick person’s body and interpret what I see and where. These clues I have provided for clients has been life changing in knowing how to manage their healthcare and nudge doctors in the right direction even when they initially cannot find anything wrong with the person and yet it’s clear they are suffering.

Palo Mayombe use of Vititi Congo frees the priest or priestess from societal base level views of right and wrong. The perception is elevated and the powers to create and destroy, life and death become versatile in their application.However this different from the selfish, self entitled left hand path nonsense of neo-occultism that argues their is no good or evil. A bunch of snot nosed children inviting a righteous spanking  and a lesson in actions and consequence is all those miscreants are.

Palo Mayombe knows that Vititi Congo is reflected by Malongo, or “Nature” itself. Most Neo-pagans claim to be nature venerators but can’t see the forest because of all the trees. They will walk into nature, inhale and exhale deeply and extol the peace and tranquility they “see”. Vititi Congo knows/sees not so much differently, but much more than that narrow view.

Vititi Congo shows me the great and many battles of life and death happening in the grass under my feet, the ants tearing apart other insects or tiny mammals too sick to run away. The bird of prey, snake, or trap door spider searching for, or waiting for its next meal to happen by. Let us not even get started on the violent conflicts happening on the microbial level.

Even the trees are muscling for rank and over taking weaker tree’s root systems with their own.
True “peace” is attained by knowing the great conflict and fortifying your place within it.  

Malongo/Nature is predatory.

The Universe is predatory.

If you reach out to a dog who growls as a warning (nature’s way of saying do not touch) and then you reach out further and the dog bites your fingers off is that the dog’s fault or yours? You are perpetuator of uninvited contact, you are the culprit and your lesson was sorely needed.

This man (?) threatened to rape and kill my goddaughter, is being influenced to rip his own face ripped open not in accordance to natural consequences of approaching a growling dog?

For his own sake the lesson is that he thinks twice about his actions, and doesn’t think he is above consequence.

How much of the world would change in a weekend of that was fully realized by everyone??

I could give birth to cancer in a person, create psychological break down, as easily as bringing about the death of a tumor or destroy the stranglehold a gang has on a neighborhood.

Vititi Congo perception is not narrow, limited or base. For the sake of humankind’s elevation, he and she cannot be either.

Vititi Congo allows for near instant bigger view of the Macrocosm and zoom in telescopic sight of the microcosm.

The biggest to the smallest and all points inbetween.

Vititi Congo is truly the sight of Nzambi and it is only through Nzambi’s blessing and the aid of the M’pungo and the dead that I can attain to such sight. I am just a man, and I require the divine aid of my creator and it’s creations to find and maintain my assemblage point in the grand multi-layered and infinite dimensions of the universe of totality.

I hope this brief write up about a mere smattering of Vititi Congo helps you see the religion of Palo Mayombe as something which forever seeks to know and understand man’s true role and place in the universe, to awaken the “God-Mind” in our own minds, and learn the appropriate versatile uses of such pivotal energies as life and death, creation and destruction rather than just another strange “voodoo” for placing curses and hex on people that many seem to want limit Palo Mayombe into being.
