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.

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.

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.

A brief introduction to who I am and what I am about.

Nsala Malecun Malecun Nsala

I am Papa Crocodile, I am priest of Palo Mayombe.

I was formally initiated, or "scratched" into Palo Mayombe under a Full Scorpio Moon, on the night of May 13th.

My initiation into Palo Mayombe was the culmination of 20 plus years of being lead by both the right and left hand down a shadowy and intimidating path to what my first Godfather termed the "fire at midnight". A spiritual enlightenment that did not forsake, nor shun the physical body but instead recognized "God" in your guts, blood, semen, and tears while extolling the virtues of both the dark and the light.

My first Godfather was a Houngan Asogwe of Haitian Voudu, or highest ranking priest, as well as a master ritual magician of the High Magical Arte.

For over a decade I was, with measured steps, brought into the Goetic and Planetary Ritual High Magic of the European grimorie traditions under his tutelage.

I have fully initiated into the mysteries of the Grimorium Verum, The Black Raven (The Book of Faust), Ars Goetia, Red Dragon (Grand Grimorie) and Black Hen. These above mentioned codexes where purposely left incomplete or penned wrong to stymie the non-initiated and infuriate the "dabblers".

My Godfather inherited these grimorie traditions not via the droll, and over intellectualized Western Mystery schools, but rather a red hot sorcerous linage of Bokkors from Haiti.

During the Haitian slave revolt of 1790 while the French Plantations where set ablaze by the fires of revolution, the grimories of  former slave owners where pilfered and carried away into the jungles of Haiti.

A type of re-genesis took place as the gaze of African eyes fell on the sigils of European spirits. These former slaves realized that these grimories contained the true secret power behind the French, Spanish and Portuguese and sought to possess it for themselves.

These mostly Congolese former slaves applied the methods of African spiritism to contact the Goetia spirits.

They did not want to hide behind magical barriers, or isolate the spirits inside containment fields in order to inquisition them.

Rather like with their own tribal ancestor spirits and deities they desired full integration with the goetic spirits.

They delved head first into the mysteries of these European genies by inducing full spirit possessions.

Only by full immersion into the dominion of each goetic specter could the African sorcerers truly know the hidden power behind their once captors. Now not only could the goetic spirits be wielded against Europeans along with their own tribal magic, they had a deeper understanding of the European mindset that shaped western civilization from the shadows, and how to use that truth for their own benefit.

Many of the late 1800s secret societies of Haiti such as the Bizango, the Sanpwel, the Flying Men, and werewolf and vampire societies, even the tradition of Jamaican Obeah, has at their foundation the structuring of the magical orders and hierarchies as found in the European grimoric traditions.

 When I was first seriously introduced to the Goetia spirits it was the early 90s. There was no "Google", no "PDFs", and the internet was still largely the intranet...available to CEOs, college professors and members of Government and associated agencies.  

My mentor gave me the sigil and name of the goetic spirit only. I was expected to summon that spirit, converse with it and detail my findings. I was tasked with discovering what it looked like, sounded like, knowing it's temperament, what works it could preform, and what dominions it held.  After a month or more of daily evocation of the same spirit I would reconvene with my mentor and we would compare notes.

Over time my mediumship flourished and the information I would receive from these blind evocations was almost spot on.

Once I had come to know a spirit well enough I was brought into its particular Arcanum and alchemical practices.

Only after I could prove I had gained the blessing of the spirit did a process of inducing possession commence to seat that spirit into its governing place inside my physical and astral body. This effectively put me "on point" with each spirit that I would have full access to them and might do the same for others.

Most (near all) in the western mystery school have no inkling that each goetic spirit has its own large and unique body of rituals, charms, tools, herbal formulations and alchemical practices attributed to it alone.

In truth each spirit is a pertinent stone in the building of an astral temple.

The mystery story of King Solomon references this and contains a number of other essential mysteries to the goetia tradition which are all but extinct. In my house these mysteries are not only revealed but embodied by the initiates that they should be passed down intact to a new generation of magicians.

It is after 20 years that I finally have the spirit configurations of the 72 of the Ars Goetia, the 18 of the
 Grimorium Verum, and the 9 of the Black Raven fully integrated into my spiritual matrix.

Brick by brick each astral temple was firmly constructed, and foundations unshakably fixed into my astral frame work. 

Within my house the same "brick by brick" approach is adhered too.

There are no overnight magicians, and no 6 month masters.

These traditions are measured in terms of years, and through proof of mastery.

Should the powers granted by a spirit include "no injury by fire" then you are required to prove that you have attained the blessing of this spirit.

If you have then you will pass if not you will be burned.

 It’s that simple...pass or fail.

There are no subjective interpretations.

Nothing is taken on faith.

I passed, and so I know others can too.

The goetia spirits are highly present and very active non physical intelligences. They do what they say they will, and expect that you honor your pacts and agreements with them in return.

While I see a certain value in what the O,T.O, Thelema, and Gold Dawn offer, I have yet to anyone from these traditions who has any understanding of the goetia past the utmost surface level and none have ever passed any "proving” tests with their prior experience alone.

Like my godfather did for me, I will open all the doors of my house for all those seeking; however I do so only when they have demonstrated they are ready to have those doors opened. 

I say that not out of any sociopathic need to be elitist, as matter of fact I was initiated into these traditions on the condition that I ought to be an agent of topple against individuals and intuitions that spit and shit down on the so-called commoner from ivory towers, protected by temporal and artificial power structures.

I say that because the goetic spirits are not psychological aspects or constructs, nor they figments that can be unimagined or disbelieved whenever most convenient to the magician.

The goetic spirits cross the spectrum of psychological, physiological and spiritual in terms of their influence on a human being.

This must be accounted for as once contacted they initiate a contingency of effects that will run its full course on the magician.

If the magician is careless or not as prepared as they presumed to be, folly and mishap often are the result.
I serve as Magican, Priest and King of my house located in Boise, Idaho. I take that position very seriously. I protect my godchildren and members of my temple with true ferocity whether it is magically, spiritually or even as on a few occasions physically.

 Within my house the mighty traditions of Palo Mayombe, Goetia Necromancy, and true European Witchcraft and Daemonology reside alongside the magnificent practices of Sanse, Alan Kardec spiritualism and 21 Divisions Voudu.

The physical temple will be opening soon where healings, misas, white and black table events, rituals, meetings, gatherings and consultations will take place.

I am in constant contact to do blessings, healings, cleansings, soul retrievals, exorcisms, divinations, and consultations, protection work, past life, spirit guide readings and all other manner of spiritual and magical work.

Often times I am being asked to clean up the shoddy and most times downright shitty work of a few well known magicians of internet celebrity status, and to correct the missteps of certain “long in the tooth” neo-pagan influences sadly still here in Boise, Idaho.

If you are called to experience firsthand what authentic Palo Mayombe, Goetic, and African based spirituality is like, please contact me and I will let you know when our next event is taking place.
