It's time for Magic Monday again, my intermittent open post on occult theory and practice -- so ask me anything about occultism and I'll do my best to answer it. Any question received by midnight tonight Eastern time will get an answer, though it may be Tuesday sometime before I get to them all.

With that said, have at it!

    Been following the CDG for almost two months now. The days I do it definitely go better than the days I don't. At first it was like switching diets and getting that slight euphoria of "wow this must be working" but now made it up to wind/purification meditations and I'm starting to notice some of the anger and frustration starting to leak out from around the edges of daily life again. Probably doing some purging here, but wanted to ask about the banishing ritual. The summoning is excellent for lack of energy but wondering if the banishing also works for cleaning up those embarrassing mental sewage spills.

    Thanks Much

    Yes, but of course there's more to it than that. Anger is very often a secondary emotion -- that is to say, it's something you learn to use so you don't have to feel another, more uncomfortable emotion. (For example, it's very common for children who grow up with a lot of fear in their lives to learn how to be angry instead, because that's less of a burden.) You might consider a course of reading in transactional analysis -- the books I'd specifically recommend are Games People Play, Scripts People Live, and Born to Win -- to help you sort out the unresolved emotional business in your life that's emerging in the form of anger and frustration.

    Well of course you nailed it. Listened to most of the GPP audiobook while smashing through a welding project. Bad news is I'm not a special snowflake. Good news is I'll never need to buy another screenwriting book. Sincerest thanks again.
