Get Your Instructions As If Geof Gray-Cobb was Still Alive

Updated 9/5/14  EXCITING PUZZLE TO SOLVE!    MY NEW BOOK: SHOULD I CALL IT NEW AVATAR POWER 2?

Good news.  I've recovered the cached image of that Google page from the evocationmagic.com website.  Be sure to see the new entry on this blog titled "My evocationmagic.com Experience".

The good news is that those who decipher a puzzle will be able to see the entire ritual.  It won't be on this blog.  It may force me to change the status of this blog to adult only with the nature of the ritual.

Here are the clues:
1. What was Geof Gray-Cobb's pen name for one of his books?
2.  After you found this book which he wrote under a pen name, what is the second word after "The" in the title?
3.  Now, place the word from 2. (above)  before his pen name (2 words to his pen name).  After the pen name there is a period followed by a community domain site.  The last hint is that this domain is the something that gives a camera stability in taking pictures.

So, an example of putting this together might look like:

amazingblackwizard@angelfire.com      that's not the site, but just an example.  You have to figure out the puzzle to find the hidden ritual.  Good luck.  The website is now published.

I am behind in getting my second book published.  After it's publication, I will address my thoughts on how the Hebrew words should be pronounced for the rituals.  This blog will also cover my experimenting with the rituals and the successes that I achieve.  I will be looking for feedback from anyone that has tried the book.  I am looking at publication for about December 2014.  I'm probably going to be able to write and publish one book a year.

As I had promised those at the Evocation Magic blog across the ocean, here is a brand new ritual for those who have dabbled with New Avatar Power.  I have studied Cobb and his writings.  I consider myself his apprentice.   He left several Genii out of books.   

THE FOLLOWING RITUAL HAS BEEN IMPROVED FOR MY UPCOMING BOOK.  IT SHOULD WORK BETTER BECAUSE OF A SMALL CHANGE.  I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR THE STORIES OF WHAT GRAY-COBB'S METHOD HAS DONE FOR YOU.  HAVE YOU TRIED TO USE THIS FOR BETTING THE PONIES, CASINO GAMBLING OR FOR A  LOTTERY WIN?   PLEASE LET ME KNOW!   (ALL COMMUNICATIONS WILL BE KEPT PRIVATE)

                                   INVOCATION FOR GAMBLING

   I call on Thee, Aclahayr (see 1), who has the power to bring winnings to those in
gambling.  I request Thee to be my mentor next to me and guide me to win at the game of
chance of my choosing.
   I command Thee Genius.  Be Thou ruled by me in the Name El (see 2).   So mote it be.

(1)  Pronounced ACK-LAH-HAY-R
(2)  Pronounced like saying the letter 'L'

Someone recently commented: "... why did the evocationmagic people feel the need to take this down from their website because I thought that they like you were big fans of geof gray-cobb?"

Read! Practice Exercises! Practice Spells and Magic

Updated 11/2/13

Whenever I had trouble sleeping at night, I'd meditate.  That includes visualization exercises.  Besides, you are really relaxed at night in bed unless you've been tossing and turning to try to fall asleep.  Take that annoying sleepless night to try to visualization of some object, person or animal.  The skill will pay off later.  You never know.  The boredom might put you back to sleep!

I wanted to really help the beginner to get started in the occult.  Just like I had done: start reading early.   You should have a zest or earnest desire to study this field.  If you only have a passing fancy go read some ghost stories and then do what you really want with your life.  This may not be what you really want to get into.  I used to go to my local library to read the whole section of occult books.  Everything from magic, divination or psychic fields.  Find what interests you.  Try not to hire those in the field to do things for you.  Practice magic rather than hiring someone for a single magic spell for $50.  If you have a good question about your life try out a legitimate psychic.  Watch out for psychics that might say you need to get another $200 to her or you might die next week.  Many of those in the field may not like my words, but you have to learn somewhere.  Try to do some things yourself.  If Tarot or the I Ching is your thing work with that and do it everyday for divination.  You may not feel you can predict what's going to happen tomorrow, but the reading might help you to be more creative in finding out which path you should choose.   It can take less than 1/2 hour out of your day to do some occult practice and plenty of time to do something else.  A little bit everyday.  My real start in this field was a book from Geof Gray-Cobb on Avatar Power.  I worked it every morning as much as much as possible.  I learned a lot just by working the magic.  If your thing is the psychic field try to work with psychic exercises or an astral projection.  Try to devote a small part of your time each to either reading, doing exercises and real occult work such as a ritual.  It isn't important to devote lots of time, but just try to do something everyday consistently for results.  With hindsight, I wished I could have developed my visualization skills to a greater degree.  I wished I had read more occult books by now.  The skills and knowledge help one to get better results for tomorrow.

My biggest drawback was bad habits - wasting time.  Watching TV, reading books that don't matter, shopping at stores that are not a priority in my life only deter me from carrying on with my life goals.

Draw up a plan for yourself.  Don't give all the fun things up, but bargain with yourself.  Tell yourself you will practice visualization for 10 minutes and than you can watch TV!  It is just like a person watching what she or he eats.   You might tell yourself you can eat your dessert as long as you eat your vegetables first.   Start today.  Once you get the ball rolling things get easier.   It's that first step that matters.
