Jar Of Sunshine - Lemon Curd

Jar of Sunshine - Lemon Curd

So I've shared stories about Lemons and I've shared stories about Eggs. Both items are staples in cooking and baking, but I thought I'd share a recipe that uses mainly these two ingredients. Lemon Curd.

Now, I'll be the first one to admit that the name "Lemon Curd" for a dish is not the most appetizing sound. It almost sounds like milk that has curdled so bad, it's as sour as lemon juice. Instead, I call it a jar of sunshine, as magically, it harnesses the best parts of the ingredients' solar energy. Lemons have been connected with the sun and this recipe uses mainly Egg Yolks. This allows you to help bring out some of the best aspects of solar energy like Passion, Courage, Energy, Inspiration, Rejuvenation and Joy. The later two I find I get the most out of with this recipe.

Need: 1 Cup White Sugar 2 Tbsp Lemon Zest 6 Egg Yolks 1/2 Cup Lemon Juice 1/2 Cup Butter 1/2 tsp lemon extract (Optional)

Zest your Lemons and add to sugar. Incorporate these together well to activate the oils of the lemon zest. You can shake in a bag, use a food processor, or just mix really, really well.

Juice your Lemons, taking care to keep seeds out. Add your juice and egg yolks into a pot. Whisk well. Slowly add your sugar and lemon zest mixture, stirring well with whisk. If you want lemon extract, add it now.

Place your pot on low heat and whisk continuously. Keep stirring until the mixture thickens and starts to bubble. This is going to take a while, but don't stop stirring or turn up the heat. It’s ready when you stick a wooden spoon in and it coats your spoon in yellow.

Remove from heat, and add your butter. Make sure it is cold and cubed. Continue stirring until butter has melted.

Pour your finished mixture through a fine mesh strainer. This will ensure your curd is smooth and silky. Put mixture in a glass jar with lid. Let cool at room temperature for an hour before lidding and putting in fridge. It will set completely in fridge. Will last several weeks in fridge and months in freezer.

Tip: -Do not stop whisking when eggs are on heat. Failing to do so may cause the eggs to overcook and become lumpy. -If your stove doesn’t go low enough, consider cooking in a double boiler. -Two Lemons should yield your needed Zest and Juice. -Use fresh lemon juice. The pre squeezed stuff you can get in a bottle will not cut it. -You can easily separate egg yolks from the egg white by tipping the egg back and forth between the shells. Or Gently use your hands to separate the yolk from the whites. -Do not fret if some egg white mixes in with your yolk. -Let your lemon curd cool completely before using it in baking. -When you make your lemon curd and you want it to have max solar energy, make sure you are cooking during the day. Not at night or in the evening. -Use less or even no lemon extract if you do not want your lemon curd to taste too strong.

Prerequisites

An understanding of:

The Axioms of Energy Work Intermediate Energy Work The Wellsource The Subtle body Conceptualization Vs. Visualization Senses of The Subtle Body Advanced Astral Projection Energetic Constructs

Advanced conceptualization of energy

When dealing with aggregate layers of energetic composites, information can become very dense and complex. This is why visualization isn’t effective at all in this stage. That, and the amount of information that is required to have an awareness of cannot be captured by visualization. Other than energetic awareness, it is crucial to have a thorough understanding of a few concepts. Firstly, energetic composites can be measured similar to spectrographs. Each independent frequency is identifiable. These frequencies, when studied individually and in amalgam, can be connected to each composite’s energetic properties.

Pitfalls for practicing advanced energy work

Due to the complexity of the nature of complex energy work, the mind can reach points where information is difficult to keep track of. These gaps can easily be filled with indirect data, which could heavily influence the objectivity of the working. This is why practice, notes and regular comparisons to workings are crucial.

Advanced concepts of the subtle body

The subtle body is a collection of super dense, stable, tethered energetic nodes. Each point is Conductive, Adiabatic, Enthalpic, and Refractive. These nodes modify and are modified by all the energy that cycle through the whole system. If not directly, then transitively. Not all conduits, or tethers, exist within the same spatial dimension. This becomes increasingly important to understand as a practitioner begins using the more interconnected hyper-dimensional nodes for energy work. That being said, the upper dimensional points are significantly difficult to find due to their dimensional phase. However, their location can be explored by paying close attention to minor fluctuations of the modulations and fluctuations of the system’s energetic states via the transference between each individual node.

Properties of energy

Energy is most commonly referred to as having properties within very human perspectives and concepts. Things like “prosperity” or “protection”, these are intentions that can be programmed into energy and not inherent properties to any existing energies. The only exceptions to this would be energies that are derived from divine or spiritual sources. Physical objects have energies without any native intentions. Slight intentions can be left in objects via interactions with people. These properties are purely how energetic composites interact.

Infinite: Regardless of the amount of energy absorbed or released the sum amount of energy does not change within a composite.

Insulative: Resists the transference of isolated frequencies.

Conductive: Low resistance to frequency transference.

Inductive: Attracts further energetic frequencies into the composite.

Thermal: Has frequencies that equalize into the environment without losing potency or affect within the composite.

Direct Current: Multiple frequencies in a composite transmits to another relative location, creating identical propagations.

Alternating Current: Frequencies within two composites alternate information bi-directionally in an oscillatory fashion.

Entangled: Discrete connections between two composites irrelevant of their relative positions in space or time.

Tethered: A direct circuit between two or more stable composites.

Spin: The degree of self-reference between two overlapping frequencies.

Inert: A composite that does not interact with other composites in the surrounding environment.

Charge: The volume of frequencies within a composite.

Attractive: Compounds the volume of surrounding self-similar frequencies within a distance relative to initial density.

Repulsive: Repels individual self-similar frequencies, lessening its overall volume.

Unstable/reactive: Compounds with chaotic or discordant composites easily.

Metastable: Regardless of interactions, the properties and substituent frequencies within the composite do not change.

Bistable: Composites that oscillate between two distinct states that are triggered by interactions with other composites.

Adiabatic: Properties change without a gain or loss of volume or density.

Isentropic: Adiabatic, but the composite returns to its initial properties.

Cyclical: Frequencies within the composite fluctuate between several different states in a cyclical manner.

Enthalpic: Becomes Thermal when under pressure from near or connected composites.

Negentropic: The composite always returns to its initial state in terms of frequencies and properties without any observable influence.:

Refractive: When it interacts with other composites, it splits the composite into two different composites or frequencies.

Applications of Advanced Energy Work in Psychicism

All energy is information. All psychic abilities involve obtaining or manipulating information. Of course, this only applies to real psychic abilities, which omits: telekinesis, pyrokinesis, and other psychic abilities of fantasy and science fiction. By using combinations of energetic awareness and understanding energetic properties, it is possible to use energy work to boost psychic abilities.

Telepathy: All thoughts release energy through the brain's magnetic field. These wave consist of alpha, beta, and gamma radiation- in trace amounts, of course. These waves, like all things, are composed of complex compounds of energetic composites. While the types of radiation tell us the type of frequency that thoughts predominantly exist within, it doesn’t quite tell us the contents of the thoughts. Each wave release is composed of unique quanta on energies that fall within those three classifications. By tapping into Kimeya & Taoyita senses, it is fairly easy to start translating these fluctuations in radiation. Clairvoyance: Amplifying clairvoyance relies entirely on Taoyita, the fractal energetic sense and astral projection. To give a boost to clairvoyance, zoom out as far as possible, then transfer into a projection. Use that projection to manipulate the scope of your fields, which is a lot simpler in the pure energetic body. Anything within that scope becomes knowable. Observable. All that is left to do is to hone in on the proper composites.

Claircognizance: Unlike other psychic abilities, boosting this one is an entirely internal process. Rather than manipulating the range of perception, it's a matter of tuning your own connection points to the same frequencies as the information that is sought after, by matching the frequencies of said information.

Controlling multiple energetic constructs

Starting with a sphere, the simplest construct to maintain, divide the construct into two independent structures. Do this without altering the form, density, or size. Think of it as the sphere going through mitosis. Move the spheres so that they are orbiting your body in different orbital paths and velocities. Once this can be accomplished, divide each sphere in two. Repeat this process to the highest quantity that can be managed. When a minimum of 32 constructs can be comfortably maintained, move onto more complex constructs. Start with simpler forms, like the platonic solids. The next step is to have each object transform into a different shape as it is born. You know you’ve mastered this skill once in control of 64 individual forms with variety in form, density, and size comfortably.

Sustaining immense energetic constructs

Once you’ve gotten this far in your practice, it becomes very possible to create constructs that are miles in diameter. Maybe even hundreds of miles. However, once you get this large, visualization stops being effective, even as a mould.This is because of the relative frame of reference. It is difficult for the human mind to accurately depict and maintain the amount of information required, even for someone with hyperphantasia. For this, you'll rely solely on energetic senses. Making constructs this large will require all of the senses. In order to maintain them during construction, they’ll need to be fed energy and maintained in concentration the entire time before it is anchored. To do this, create several conduits to the wellsource to points on the construct that are connected to the highest number of variables and create a circuit within the construct.

Advanced Energetic Diffusion

Energy naturally has a short half-life, however if an energy is anchored but the anchor isn’t known or located it is still possible to diffuse the construct, thoughtform, or spirit. Like the metaphor above for manipulating properties, imagine the construct as a woven fabric. In all fabrics there are some threads that hold it together the most. It is possible to remove the property that is the equivalent of the hem of a fabric and allow the construct to dissipate over time; or, several threads can be removed until the fabric isn't a fabric anymore. Doing this to a construct causes the energetic composites involved to equalize into the environment. The more it unravels, the faster it dissipates. This also works on thoughtforms or spirits as well. Both of these are composed of energetic constructs and therefore can be unraveled.

In the next post, Advanced Energy Work Part II, I'll be discussing multi-dimensional energy work, and covering topics required for advanced warding.

plutonian death magic [♇]

pluto, otherwise known as hades in greek mythology, is the ruler and guardian of the underworld.

ethically collect graveyard dirt and charge it with plutonian energy - may be used in spells that correspond with pluto’s energy, spirit work, or any act that includes honoring the dead

create a shrine or altar dedicated to a loved one who has passed on - add a symbolic representation of pluto for the protection of your loved one in the afterlife

create an amulet to represent an ancestor or loved one that has passed on and charge with plutonian energy - this can be worn for remembrance or to aid in contacting the spirit of this person

some ideas for this may include: the name of your loved one; a sigil that represents their name and your intention; some of their ashes (please don’t take ashes from a family urn without permission); graveyard dirt from the grave of your loved one (again, not without permission); herbs or crystals that correspond to spirit work and death magic (perhaps even your loved one’s favorite crystal or flower)

provide offerings to pluto for the continued protection of your loved ones in the afterlife

plant herbs and flowers that correspond with pluto

volunteer to work with hospice patients or to help clean up your local graveyard

provide food and beverages on your altar or sacred space

light a candle or incense of corresponding scent

leave corresponding crystals or herbs in an offering dish

leave offerings for your loved ones at their grave or on your altar

design a crystal grid using plutonian crystals to amplify corresponding spells or rituals

wear a crystal pendant that corresponds with pluto for the metaphorical death and rebirth of one’s self

use the death card in your tarot deck during spells and rituals that involve death magic

i typically do not work with any deities, but sometimes i feel it's appropriate to incorporate persephone as well.

⇢ i’d like to thank @death-witch-envy, who was a huge inspiration for this post and an inspiration for my interest in death witchcraft. ⇠

Using Electricity as Fuel in Witchcraft

{My post is Cross Posted from The Cobalt Athenaeum aka my original post}

A little tech magic trick I have taught myself is using various forms of electricity sources to tie my wards to for continuous charging, to power spells when I lack the energy and for a personal energy boost.

Warding I have tied my wards to my home's electricity. The way I did this was I drew a sigil onto a sticky pad and stuck it onto the breaker panel, really you can draw it on with your finger with an anointing oil of choice (ON THE DOOR. I REPEAT GET NOWHERE NEAR THE SWITCHES). Then placed another connecting sigil into my warding jars/placed them with the instructions for my wards. The only downside is I live in a place where my power can go out, so I always have a backup power source to keep them going. Something to keep in mind.

Spellwork I did a similar method for my spells, using a connecting conducting sigil. These sigils are easy to make, at least in theory. You can check out the ⁠what-are-sigils channel for a deeper look. You make two sigils with one as an input and the other as an output, connecting the two in a circuit-like mechanism which creates a power source for your spell. Because it is raw energy you need to fine-tune directing it otherwise it may go haywire.

Self Fueling This is fun, using the tendril method I connect with the electricity fueling my house. It’s a very simple method. You start by visualizing energy tendrils coming out of your fingers, they look like moving wiggling little tendrils of any colour. They slowly expand and reach into the walls, into the wires themselves. This can take practice to do but it is an incredibly valuable method. I suggest grounding after to get rid of any excess so you are not jittery. You can use any electrical source for this.

Would you be interested in the rest of my posts? Check out the Masterpost.

Blessings,

Juniper
