Have you carefully ensured that Venus is in the proper house so that the next spell doesn't backfire on you?
Have you made sure that it's two parts cinnamon to one part frankincense, or was it the other way around? Is the candle 51% beeswax, or do you need to have totally pure?
Have you got the right epithets to be invoking the entity that you desire? Will they respond? Have you got a treat they like to offer them, or are you presuming that your treat will please them? Have you asked them?
How complicated, how much work is it to be involved in your spirituality? Does it get in the way of perfect love and perfect trust?
Have you really got that level of love and trust with the people around you? Or are you forcing yourself, pushing yourself, going through the motions?
REGINA: Wow -- anything else?
ALEX: If had ever been witness to the beauty of a Mass in the Extraordinary Form, the Latin Mass BEFORE I began reading tarot, I can say this with certainty: I would never have bought those cards. I would not have started down that road. Not a chance.
REGINA: Interesting. So what would you recommend to an occultist reading this?
ALEX: Have a Catholic friend take you to a Solemn High Mass, in the extraordinary form with full chant. If you're around me, that invitation is permanently extended.
I have had a foretaste of heaven, and I had it, at the moment of Consecration. I felt the weight of that moment. It was unlike anything ever before. I've never been quite the same since.
Don't worry so much about that part, about having to give something up, about having to change.
There's a lot of really good people who will catch you, and they don't all wear Roman collars.
What you did isn't going to bother them. Because they've done things too. Some of them, maybe just a few will have done what you've done.
And if you've decided to test the waters of something different, they'll consider it both a great joy, and an honour to help you get used to the whole thing.
REGINA: Any last words?
ALEX: The thing about the enemy -- and check the Rider-Waite books on this if you don't believe me -- is that you can easily slip off the collar. Upon closer inspection, the chains can be easily removed.
That's what what Our Blessed Lord Jesus Christ did for me and for you -- He made the collar bigger, He made the chains easy to slip off.
We would love the opportunity to gently, to patiently show you what else He did, what He continues to do
for you.
