The Workings of Influence

Powerful people get where they are by influencing others. Every time you influence people to join you, adore you, work with you or support your ideas, youve taken one more step toward success. Without influence, you can be manipulated and dragged unwillingly through life in a state of confusion and resentment. Being able to influence others, you take back control. Magick can give you the power of influence.

Everybody is trying to influence you, one way or another. And you try to influence others. You want to be liked, respected, employed. You want to sell, to convince, to be admired and adored. Its all about influence.

This book gives you the keys to magickal influence, so that you can use supernatural forces of darkness to change hearts and minds. Working with angels, demons, ancient spirits and gods, you access many powers. The book wont tell you how to create rapport, charm, and charisma. There are other books that can teach you those skills. This book gives you the magick.

There are 23 rituals to influence individuals and groups. You can create trust, convince somebody that you are right, make somebody find you attractive, and even make somebody care about you. The magick can make another person see you as a leader. When you want to cause disruption, you can sow the seeds of doubt in somebodys mind, so that what once seemed certain becomes uncertain. The magick can create unease, confusion, mistrust and even hatred between people that you know. These rituals can inspire loyalty, or make somebody confess what they have held back from you. There are rituals to make loud people quiet, to silence gossip and to make an unwanted neighbor move away. The rituals can be used to make people fear you, or you can project authority, trustworthiness, and charisma.

These powers can be used within family situations as readily as they can be used to gain an advantage in business or politics. They can be used to solve seemingly small problems, such as noisy neighbors, or to land the promotion youve deserved for years, or undermine your competition, or convince the skeptical to fund your projects. By changing the way people see you, and each other, you can manipulate reality.

If you think its wrong to influence, or evil to perform magick for your own benefit, then please go buy a book on mindfulness. If youre scared of demons, skip the second half of the book. If youve got no idea what this magick is, but get the feeling that magick might work, this is going to be fun. If youve been using magick for years, youve probably seen it all before but, you never know, this might work for you.

The first half of this book is all about magick that originates in the the tradition of magick that was explored in the Greek Magickal Papyri. The magick in those texts was sourced from older traditions, including Jewish magick, and was corrupted and distorted, modified and evolved. But the papyri are a great source of magick, if you take the time to understand the workings and get past the omissions, confusions and the bits that are plain useless. This strand of magick is called The Magick of the Calls.

The second half of this book works with the Goetic demons. Its a method thats simplified, without losing the dark charm of magick. You feel the energy of the demons, and they influence the people you ask them to influence. There are so many books about these demons that Im almost embarrassed to put something else out there, but I hope that Ive got something youre going to like. Its a quick, easy way to get the demons to respond, without too much trouble, and without being so simple that it feels diluted. I refer to this magick as Demonic Influence, just to keep things simple.

You can purchase the original magickal texts and sources, and unearth a few translations, and collect stacks of theoretical books, and then test it out with different methods and youll probably invent the same rituals that are in this book. Or something quite like them. But Ive done the work for you. Thats what youre paying your hard earned dollars for. My time and experience as a practicing occultist is on offer. In return, I give you magick that works. Thats the pact we have made, you and I, with this book. I write, you read, you do the magick.

There are many occultists that belong to long traditions and respected magickal orders. They have great tales to tell, and wear glorious robes and hats and that sort of thing. I am not one of them. I have belonged to a few groups, and Ive learned from some great people, but most of the time I work by myself. I do not set myself up as a grand and famous occultist. But I am a practicing occultist and I think that matters more than belonging to any amazing lodge of darkness and mystery. Ive seen and experienced wonderful and terrible things. Ive experienced magick that works. Whats on offer in this book can be called terrible or wonderful, depending on your point of view. I hope that its wonderful, and gets you what you want.

All magick of influence is evil, so they say. But the world is a network of influence. Every act is an act of influence. When you smile at a stranger, you influence their feelings. When you attempt to get more sales for a product with clever advertising, you influence the masses to defeat your competitors. When you persuade, spread doubt, create an aura of charm, or develop a personal mythology, you influence others to bring about change.

I look for the good in people, but I also see the bad. Without the ability to influence those around me, I would be a victim of circumstance and a victim of people. I choose to take the upper hand, to control those who upset me, to persuade those who need to be more co-operative, and to weaken those who pester and undermine.

When you remain subject to the influence of others, you are a victim of life. When you take control and influence others as you choose, this gives you the power to be authentic. The magick in this book can be used recklessly and to cause harm, or it can be used shrewdly and graciously to steer events in a way that meets with your desire.

It could be claimed that we like to be influenced. To be seduced by a charming person is not the same thing as date rape; its a cooperative act where influence is accepted willingly by the one being seduced. To be persuaded to buy a car from a salesperson is not to be coerced, because you went to the showroom to buy a car, and you wanted to be sold that car. To have an employee convince you that she deserves a promotion is not a trick, but a way for the employee to show what she is capable of. And so what?

This is a book of dark magick, so lets not worry about the morals too much. You make a decision to influence somebody because thats what you want to do. You want to change how they think and feel. But, at the same time what I say about influence being partly co-operative is true. Im not being moralistic, but I want you to avoid the trap of thinking youre a dangerous and deadly dark magician. Some folks really get off on appearing scary, but thats not the point of this magick. The point of the magick is to get what you want. You put your needs first; you get what you want. But the magick can also be used for good. Influence a bad person to quit being cruel, and youre a hero. But, you know, dont get a hero complex. Im telling you to keep your feet on the ground because when this magick works, and when youre able to sway people and bend their will and weaken them, it can go to your head. Youre in danger. Not from demons, but from your own petty need to look impressive. So dont show off, dont get caught up on how powerful you are. Every time that happens, you end up flat on your face and looking like a moron. Be cool. Use the magick and chill out. You got what you wanted, so dont act like a douche about it.
