I shall, needless to say, be discussing as the header of this article states- possession in the occult.

In terms of one’s occult practice, becoming possessed is also an option; I tried it as a beginner around 2017 and the furthest I got was a heavy, encapsulating feeling come over me that almost made me pass out but it faded after a couple of seconds. I had asked one of my patrons, the Archangel Samael to possess me as a means of empowerment (just making me stronger overall) & I even went so far as trying to record it. The reason why things didn’t work out in a matter of speaking is because I am simply not cut out for it (I’ve already discussed in the past as my followers already well aware of that I have invocation as a specialty).

But for the average practitioner that has this as an option, he or she as well as the public in general might wonder that if they wanted to go down this path, what things you would have to keep in mind. Below I will give a couple of pointers that will help people on their way in doing so.

By definition, when you allow an entity that you work with to possess you, it will temporarily take control of your body (both astral and physical) & you will feel like you’re temporarily “canceled out” or “minimized”. This of course is normal. But by default before you do so, similar to the way that you would make arrangements with an individual- for example by going on a trip together & whatnot, you need to plan everything properly; see to it that in case you “lose control”, there is nothing that can damage your physical body or otherwise- by emptying whatever space or room you intend on carrying out your possession in. Point 2; Make clear and thorough arrangements / agreements with the spirit that you work with, and keep his / her / its nature in mind (because sometimes they will do things not because they per say want to, but because it’s simply in their nature akin to someone having a certain scent as natural body odor). Point 3; if and only if possible, have someone else be present to simply be a witness and record what’s going on through video and audio sources.

The process for any practicing magician is the same in terms of the base principles and then some; the only thing in the way of a difference is that rather than interacting with whatever energy you’re interacting with either through invocation or evocation, you’re doing so by allowing the entity to temporarily take control of you and your senses (obviously).

Last but not least you might wonder: is this practical enough to the point where it’s worth the trouble? Well, yes and no; the greatest benefit of spirit possession is that you absorb heavy amounts of energy from them, with all the benefits of course (also be weary of drawbacks)..but.. in my opinion, be that as it may, still not enough to the point where it’s worth it and generally speaking you’re better off with the aforementioned and therefore also most commonly used methods regarding practicing the occult in terms of interacting with spirits and energies.

That is all.
