New and I brought questions

[Bryan Yates]

I have quite a few friends who are into the wiccan and magick stuff and they sorta blew my mind. I'll try to make this as short as possible. Due to boredom and the internet, I know how to read Icelandic rune letters. Yesterday I found a word written in runes below type of sigil, I guess. I read the word out loud because I'm still not very fluent in the runes, and I heard a strange whirring sound. The closest thing I can associate the sound with is a sci-fi spaceship, but it still didn't sound like it very much. I tried it out two more times with the same results. Everything I've found on this forum is a bit more technical that just saying a word and getting a result, so I don't know what the hell happened. Its all too storybook for me to believe without an explanation. I have to admit, I am a skeptic.
The word was 'Ambriel'. According to the wiccan friend, ambriel is "an angel and a sign of Gemini." If someone happens to have an answer to what happened, I would greatly appreciate it. Feel free to ask questions.

It is highly unusual to get results that quickly but it can happen.
But, runes can be incredible powerful and should never be used unless you are very confident in your skills, and really really know what you are doing.

Ambriel is exactly as your friend said; an angel who is associated with the sun sign of Gemini and the month of May.
Ambriel is referred to in the Magical Calendar. Planetanum Sigilla. Ambriel is also attributed to the Queen of Cups in the Tarot (according to Aleister Crowley)

The queen of cups is a very protective women.

Catholicism regards an angel as a pure spirit created by God and this angel inspires clear communication and is also considered to be an angel of general protection.

So this is all very white and nice magic. There is nothing bad going on, you don't have to be afraid.
You basically called the name of an angel and you got a response.
Be thankful for what happened, but in the future: Don't read magic words out-loud until you are 100% certain of what they are.

Ok this is good to know. I'll definitely be experimenting more in the future. Nothing potentially dangerous until I know more about this.

I'm new here; maybe I should do an intro, but they seem kind of pointless, since so few people ever read them. :-)

Anyway, I'm jumping ahead - jumping right on in. People don't know me, but I'm going to assert that my interests are in healing, for everyone. I've studied various forms of prayer, mediation, healing, some magick, not to mention a little bit of actual scholarship, in school, focused on philosophy (mainly Philosophy of Mind - don't ask - it's been a long time, but the studies informed how I think, in general), psych, and comparative religion, and Asian art, and have just been basically a very scorp person (3-5 planets in scorp, depending on who does the chart), and have achieved some level of wisdom, personal growth and even proficiency at them....for almost 40 years. I am, of course, self-focused, since my consciousness seems to insist on associating itself with this human experience; but my "d'ruthers", if I could have it, is that everyone never suffer, ever again - issues of free will aside, I guess. I'm not sure I believe in free will, or others, or being anything in particular, except in dreams. Maybe this lack of foundation is part of the difficulty in building? But, since I really like feeling safe and loved and loving others, I hope that there is a way to be real, forever, in joy and love, with other real beings, and to be able to enjoy it without reservation, because everyone, everywhere is also not suffering....In short, I have no idea what is really going on! My self focus can lead me to do things that are sometimes insensitive, but that's just me being imperfect, I guess.

So, I'm here, right now, instead of at work at my old, lapsed, career (social work), because I'm in a heap of suffering, due to a back injury and some unexplainable uncooperativeness on the part of practically everyone who could have done their jobs well, years ago, and gotten me the surgery I needed, before my finances went kaput. That's what leads people to postulate ideas like karma, I guess - unexplainable badness after badness after badness, out of nowwhere. None of my previous 40 years of spiritual and sometimes occult practice seems to have put much of a dent in the downward spiral of things. Before "it" happened (the badness that eventually lead to the disability), I was quite glowy and bright, and generally things manifested when and how I wanted them....with some exceptions, of course. It's gotten so bad that I've begun to force myself to begin practicing again, despite intractable pain and med side effects, which make me very sick, all of the time - and - head's up - a bit dumb, sometimes. So, if anyone reads this and could cut me a bit of slack if I say something odd, please do. And, things have begun to look slightly better; but they need to start to look a lot better, and pretty fast.

So...I finally found this forum. Previously, I've found some that seemed....um...kind of ....um....unsatisfying. I'd like to get very into how this whole cosmic circus works, from the perspective of those who don't mind explaining how they arrived at their ideas and how they can be verified (a rare thing, in my experience - usually, people like to say I think too much, but, even when it comes from someone I deeply respect, I deeply respond that I think they don't think, enough)...and, I will! So, stand by for questions, and such. I might actually just copy this into an intro post, so forgive me if you read it twice.

For now back to the point! Can anyone suggest a magical word to call angelic help (again, with the trying not to ever cause suffering, if I don't have to) or something akin to it - divine, or at least compassionate and high-minded - to get this show on the road (to recovery)? I did try "Ambriel", but in my haze, it's hard to know if any presence shows up or not. I guess we can see if things start to improve faster. But, I'm not in a scientific mode, wanting to try one thing and make mental notes about what happens, afterwards. I want to pile on whatever I can, because I'm experiencing something that feels like a time-space dilation that can collapse on me, at any time.

I'm also just doing straight visualization of what I want. But, besides being sick and hazy, there are the usual mental limits like: where I perceive myself to be, right now, and laws of cause and effect (perceived) on the physical level, and the fact that, like the dupe in a movie about making deals with the devil, I seem to invite complications, whenever I visualize something.....Chaos just seems to crop up into any open spaces I leave. I often try to invoke the highest consciousness (God, or the GM, or Admin, or whatever), because I assume that It can avoid those pitfalls, but It isn't responding in a way that I can have faith in.....maybe because my mind is clutter with fear and is constantly burping up expectations of suffering that manifest? Is this because there's a level of uncontrolled emotional chaos within me that needed to be noticed and healed - because I had asked for more of something that requires that?

I realize I've touched on topics that could become about 5 threads....After I've poked around a bit, I will probably start a few of them.

Ambriel is surely a demon-class specimen of the moment. This name is popping up here and there, lately.

Good practice. The Admin is everything's first, duration and final, and therefore the Highest All provides the best protection. In his/her/its name, you just can't go wrong, in any true path of correctness. After all, we are all subservient to the universe/existence.
