Physical training in relation to magical practice and the warrior path

I’m going to be covering the topic of physical training in relation to magical practice and the warrior path. This topic, of course has been covered by Bear Heart but I would like to share my experiences and musings as someone who has been training in the martial arts for over two decades, trains daily and also does functional strength training 3-4 times a week.

I would like to talk about why this is important in relation to practicing Magic and how to go about starting if you practice Magic but perhaps aren’t a very physical person, something which is very common in the occult world.

So why is it important to be a physical individual as well as a magical practitioner?

Physical exercise Increases blood and energy circulation. This is important because your blood contains your life force. By keeping good circulation this will aid you in all of your energetic exercises, strengthen your astral, planetary bodies and energetic templates. It will also strengthen your aura as well as your muscle and bone density. You will notice a strengthened immune system.

Increased sexual vitality (remember people, magical is sexual) Strength training, especially compound exercises which target multiple muscle groups will increase the amount of natural testosterone you produce which is important for health and sex drive. Do not neglect your legs! Training your legs and other major muscle groups with exercises such as back squats, front squats, deadlifts, clean and press are exercises which most people shy away from because they are tough. These are the exercises which you should be doing because they are tough.

Because these exercises are tough they will also strengthen your mind because you are overcoming adversity by consistently reaching milestones and forging your physical body into a powerful vessel. This will in turn have an effect on your energetic bodies. These exercises will give you the biggest benefits in terms of real functional strength gains where the strength you gain can be applied on either an object or individual. Why would you need to apply your strength on a person I hear you ask? Because as practitioners of the occult, we are a demonised people by the church who influence a staggering amount of people. You may well be put into a situation where you will have to defend yourself or a loved one. Not all situations can be overcome by talk or avoidance.

Of course the above mentioned exercises are not the only things you can train with great benefit and a barbell isn’t just the only tool you can use. Clubells, Macebells, Kettlebells will also forge a fearsome level of strength to make you a force to be reckoned with.

Training your grip, wrists and forearms are also essential. There is no point having fearsome strength in your legs, back, and core if you can’t transfer that strength directly onto something or someone. Also, the stronger will you develop by dedicating hours on forging your physical body the more effectively you can exert your will in your magical practice.

You will experience an increase in your overall energy levels, be more awake and alert. It is also a fantastic way to have an overall sense of wellbeing and battle depression, releasing those natural feel good chemicals. Don’t fall into the trap of believing that mages of old were twig thin nerdy looking old men as depicted by Hollywood. Look at history, mages were usually powerful strongmen and warriors.

If you have little or no experience in physical training I strongly advise you to build a foundational level of fitness by doing body weight exercises 3 times a week for 6 months. When doing any physical exercise correct technique is essential. Do not worry if initially you can’t lift a particular weight or manage a particular amount of repetitions. This will come with time do not sacrifice using correct technique just so you can lift a heavier weight as this will lead to injuries, bad habits and structural problems with your body. There is a beauty in putting yourself under that Saturnine current and using your time to forge yourself into a powerful, independent, courageous individual that will help to influence those around you in a positive way.

Become powerful, be courageous be the hero in your own story.

My GOOD George Experiences. Hail GOOD George!!!

This blog post is about sharing with you the various experiences which I have had while working closely with GOOD George. These experiences have been on the astral, and in the physical.

If you aren’t already working with GOOD George, and you are interested in doing so then make sure you watch the G.O.O.D.S videos and also read the backed up, original G.O.O.D.S blog posts.

I have had nothing but positive experiences working with GOOD George. He certainly encourages you to be at your best and has taught me some VERY valuable lessons. I will include a number of experiences in this blog post but not all of them.

Many of my G.O.O.D.S brothers and sisters have had amazing experiences with GOOD George and other patrons. My experiences are not rare or special from the perspective that I am not the only one who GOOD George has worked with.

From my Initial experiences I was not working with the full official G.O.O.D.S altar because at the time my circumstances were such where I could not setup a full time space to GOOD George. I would just setup a temporary, simple altar where I would offer up dragons blood incense, beer, rum, a red and white candle and water every Tuesday evening to him. I would sit before the altar and recite the Prayer to him:

“Do I hear the gallop of your horse before the bellowing of the dragon slain? 

Or shall I hear the monster gasp its last before the trot of hoof?

One sound I shall never hear is the dropping of your lance or the clamor of your armor fall. 

I ride with you where the dragons are Good George.

I ride with you both night and day. 

I ride with you though I may be weary from battle setting all wrongs right. 

I fight under your banner with righteous strength and unyielding courage.

As I ride with you I know that you are at my side.

I know that your lance is set and you are ready to charge at the first offense against me.

I know that where ever I am there you are in worlds both magic and mundane. 

Lance by lance, horse by horse and soldier by soldier we tally forth.

Ride out with me now Good George I travel to distant lands far from home.

Ride out with me now Good George our destination is mark off the map and says “here be dragons”. 

There is no place you cannot journey no road too treacherous for your glorious steed. 

Ride out with me now Good George I need the strength of an armored champion whose lance will never drop nor whom has ever fallen. 

Do I hear the gallop of your horse before the bellowing of the dragon slain?

Or shall I hear the monster gasp its last before the trot of hoof? 

Feeling his presence, I would converse with him asking for him to act as my patron and that he would watch over me, guide me and protect me. I would ask that he teach me how to fight on the astral realm and also that he would train me so that I would become a knight worthy of his name etc.

Afterwards I would always meditate in front of his altar using the “Three treasuries” breathing method. It was usually during this exercise where I would either astrally project and have amazing experiences or I would have incredible visions.

This is not the only way I would have experiences with him. I would also offer intense physical exercise to him as well.

One of my first major astral projections with him was using the “Three Treasuries” method we were both on horseback overlooking a vast battlefield where there was an army of knights, whom assume were either spirits who work with GOOD George or Spirits of the Realm of Mars (or maybe both) they were clashing with an equally large horde of reptilians. The scope of the battle was nothing short of Lord of the Rings-esq epic in scale. We charged down the hill and joined in battle. I remember coming out of my meditative state and thanking GOOD George for the experience and going to bed. My dreams that night were of seeing patrols of knights hunting down the remnants of the reptilian army.

Other experiences would include visiting what I could only describe as a barracks where I would meet other warriors clad in armour where they were training with various weapons in mele style combat and training to take down dragons.

Two of my most memorable astral experiences would include GOO George training me in taking down a massive red dragon which was wrecking the area I live in, in a "Cloverfield" style attack. I am wearing my armour and attacking the dragon putting deep gouges into it's side and slashing with my sword.

During the battle I see my home and see thick smoke pouring out.  I disengage from the fight to rescue my family members. I run into my house which is smoke filled and pull out the bodies of my loved ones. I can't tell if they are dead or alive. The Dragon has continued to wreck the rest of the town. I wake up and have a communication from GOOD George. He chides me saying "When fighting a dragon never disengage to help casualties until the fight is over". Lesson Learned!

The next night I astrally projected and GOOD George was awaiting me in background. The same red Dragon is in front of me. I charge at it again hacking, stabbing & slashing putting out one of it's eyes and wounding it badly. It rolls onto it's side and exposes it belly to me.

I gut it from neck to tail and once I reach the tail end I turn back to see reptilians claw out from its wound. I charge back towards the neck end and hack at the legs of the reptoids as they come out. I reach the neck end I turn back and see some on the floor wounded & some approaching me.  I move toward them hacking, stabbing and slashing them, I can hear them squeal like stuck pigs as they lie dying. Once they are slain I see the Dragon is still breathing. I am told to kill the Dragon by destroying the heart. I cut open the chest a see the heart is a giant crystal attached via muscle/sinew and arteries. GOOD George gives me two options:

1. Take the Crystal.

2. Smash it.

I smash the Crystal which I feel was the right decision. 

GOOD George advises me that the quickest and most effective way to slay a dragon is to spear it straight through the heart. I look up to see a Massive dark green Dragon in the sky. The next thing I see GOOD George in the sky, dropping on to the Dragons back spearing the it through the back into its heart with his lance. The Dragon drops dead from sky. An awe inspiring sight!

An example of an experience which I had in the physical was where I was walking back home from shopping for food and I see an old man with a walking stick struggling walking down the road. He stops and is struggling for breath. I get a very strong communication from GOOD George that I should assist him to where he is going.

To my shame I walked past him thinking "I’ll help him if he asks for assistance". As I walk past I feel guilty thinking that I could have helped and chose not to. GOOD George also disapproved.

20 seconds later and I see my next door neighbor who is in his late 70's filling up his coal bucket. A second chance to help! He could have done with a hand but again, I walked past.

My own disappointment was apparent and so was GOOD George's.

At that moment I came to a realization, and it was so obvious! It's not just what we do on the astral but what we do in the physical, how we conduct ourselves which is so important. How can I be a G.O.O.D.S member/ draco slayer and an individual who inspires others and in turn helps them to inspire if I don't look after my fellow man and behave like a fucking HUMAN being!!!

If am to be a "Knight" then I must start behaving like one in everyday life!

I have also had help from GOOD George in the physical where he has exorcised foul entities when called upon and has also protected me by an "intervention" in the physical during a potentially volitile situation. He also assisted me with hunting down and slaying a particually foul and troublesome entity which was causing me some problems i wont go into full details but i came to him asking that he take me to the entity so i could battle it on the astral realm and he did just that.

I hope this illustrates the importance of building strong relationships with patrons. They can help to greatly enrich your life.

I have had amazing experiences with other Patrons such as Thor, Hercules, Santisima Muerte, My ancestors and spirit guides etc. Some stories I will share in future posts.

Cleansing Yourself

Something which magical practitioners don’t do nearly enough is cleansing their physical and energetic bodies of the negative astral sludge one can pick up on a daily basis. The more empathetic you are and become the more important this is especially if you are feeling energetically shitty.

I try to cleanse myself at least once a week. Bear Hearts Apollo Cleansing video is great but here are two methods which I currently use which work wonders:

Method 1: Spiritual detox bath (full credit to Bear Heart)

You will need:

1 white candle

Rue

Basil

Mint

Epsom bath salts

Run a hot bath which isn’t scorching but you can comfortably soak in for 20-30 minutes. Get a large cup of Epsom bath salts and a handful of each of the 3 herbs and add them to the bath just before you get in and give them a swirl.

Light the white candle and place it where you can easily see it while in the bath. Once in the bath softly gaze at the candle and pray to prime creator that this bath cleanses your physical and energetic bodies and purges you of all negative energies. I will usually listen to some relaxing pineal gland activation music on YouTube (there’s lots available to listen to). I will also perform the three treasuries breathing detailed in Bear Hearts video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAfakbR8yxI

Just relax and visualize all the negative sludge seep out of your body into the bath water. Remember to completely submerge your head as well. Once you are done stay in the bath and lie there until all of the bath water has gone down the drain along with all the negative energy. You will feel totally purged and also very relaxed. You will have a lot of the herbs clinging to your body and hair so shower them off.

Additional cleansing method: clearing your head channel (full credit to Super Draco Slayer)

This is optional but great for clearing and cleansing your head channel. Once you have showered off the herbs and no longer look like the swamp thing, towel yourself off and take a cup of coconut milk and add a small amount of white rum pour it over your head and massage it in. This won’t leave a greasy residue and will be very cleansing for your head. Allow it to dry on its own.

Method 2: Cleansing at your altar (full credit to Sancista Bruja Louis)

My spiritual god mother sent me this excellent video link by Sancista Bruja Louis (not G.O.O.D.S affiliated).

Remember. Make sure you cleanse on a regular basis!

Enjoy!

Introduction: Who, Why & What Now?

Please note this blog has moved from its original place. This post was originally written on 15^th May 2015.

You may call me Lion Heart. I am a member of the Grand Order of Draco Slayers. A Pleasure to make your acquaintance. Some of you will be familiar with The G.O.O.D.S and for some of you this may be the first time you have heard of us.

We are a Magical Martial Order, dedicated to the eradication of the Illuminati Draconian threat which is a blight on the human race. Our goal is to combat the above be it in the astral or physical plane.

For those of you who have not heard of us before I suggest you start here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BdF-SIWzfw

I have been involved in the G.O.O.D.S movement now for about 4 years to the date of writing this blog and esoteric arts for much longer. Lion Heart was a title bestowed upon me by St George (more about that another time). Writing this blog has been something I have been meaning to do for some time now but I feel that I have now been pushed into doing this with Bear Heart taking a step back from the public eye.

The G.O.O.D.S movement is still alive and well, there is an active group of Ceremonial Magicians now networking with each other across the world doing their own workings and inspiring others. The majority of us keep our identities secret. There are forces out there who would wish to see our movement crushed and I have a message for those forces:

YOU HAVE FAILED. All of BH's blog and all of his videos have been fully backed up across the world, physically backed up. If and when this information gets deleted off the internet it will simply be re-uploaded along with new material. In summary we are slowly becoming legion. You will not stop us!!!

No doubt a lot of you will have the following questions:

Where has BH gone and is he alive/ok?

To answer that question, yes he is fine. He has taken a step back from the public eye and is still continuing his great work. Whether or not he will reappear in the public eye I do not know. We all wish him the very best in all his future endeavours. Your work lives on in us!

So what now?

With BH away a lot of you feel that you have lost direction and are crying out for a leader to inspire you and to lead you. What I am about to say is going to sound harsh to some of you:

MAN THE FUCK UP, STOP WHINING AND GROW A FUCKING SPINE!!!!

Bear Heart is not your leader, he is not a Messiah. He is just a man, just a flesh and blood human like the rest of us.

Yes he is courageous, yes is has offered guidance and information which has enriched our lives, inspired us and helped us grow to become higher versions of ourselves. All he wanted was to inspire people to become their own leaders and capable of independent action.

There is no messiah or leader who is going to come and save you. Stand up and become your own saviour, your own messiah.

I feel that we owe BH a debt for what he has done and let me explain to you how we are going to start repaying it:

There is enough information now out there on how to empower yourselves magically and physically so you get to the stage where you are an active ceremonial magician, able to help and inspire others. If you are not at that stage then make a start with the information which has been presented to you already.

For those who feel that you are ready to take action this is what I want you to, it is so very fucking simple and doesn't require proficiency in the occult.

You are going to work within your own communities at a grass roots level and take some time helping those around you in the immediate vicinity. Rather than being sat on your ass on the internet get out there and start doing good in your local community. Is there a family down your street struggling to feed their kids? Buy them a bag or two of food shopping. Is there an elderly couple or individual living nearby? Why not check in on them every now and then and make sure they are ok?

We waste so much of our personal time and money on shit that does not matter!

Being a Knight of the G.O.O.D.S is not just about slaying and kicking ass (although there is a fair amount to be done).

It is about being a DECENT HUMAN FUCKING BEING!

Sure, sharing information about the Illuminati and the government corruption is important. But if you are refusing to help the vulnerable in your own communities and create a ripple effect then you are missing the point completely.

Don't worry, they'll be a fair amount of info being posted up here but until them start being kind to each other and active within your own communities start a ripple effect.

Peace.

Lion Heart
