Something that has a large amount of influence on how we perceive others, ideas, social constructs, or anything manmade is the aesthetic put into it. I am not just talking about the visual aesthetics, but how even ideas, associations, or the way things are said or romanticized can alter people’s perception of it. For example, some government officials refer to themselves as “Losing the war for hearts and minds” in response to the people here beginning to adopt political ideas from foreign countries. In reality, they are basically saying that they are losing control of their citizens. Notice how one of these statements sounds so patriotic while the other sounds sinister and even a bit silly? It’s because of the aesthetic way it is stated.

The subtle but great power of aesthetics going unappreciated is disastrous for a group. Being right is not always enough, especially in a society where people have no concern for what is factually correct when deciding their opinions. For example we could be walking in a forest and see flowers on the ground. I can either call them weeds or a natural lush garden. Notice how these statements describe the same thing but I transfer my judgment of the plants through speech when using either one of them? Aesthetics is not inherently good or bad, but it is a tool that can be used by very bad people to make themselves look a certain way. It also tends to work against marginalized people and people who are disadvantaged. Even a person’s identity can be tied to a certain aesthetic appearance or way of being.

If you ever feel that the impression you are giving to people is different from what you would like, you should probably evaluate your aesthetic presentation. It can be a good thing to say what is on your mind, but many people do not do this because they do not want to contradict the aesthetic they give off or undermine the impression people have of them. Many people play a social game of masquerade that normal people don’t even realize is happening. Obviously though the solution is not to have a fake presentation like those people, but instead to work on the aesthetic presentation of yourself, your ideas, your organization, or whatever else you are wanting to share with the world.

For this spell, put on some Chinese communist music or revolutionary music in general if that is not available. If you do not have any machine that plays music, you can just call upon the power of Chairman Mao’s Red book or Mao Zedong Thought. You can also just sing the songs you know from memory.

Get into the revolutionary energies of the Chairman and say:

“I call upon The Jade Chairman to break any and all curses put upon me. I also call upon the chairman to destroy class enemies and those who seek to destroy or misguide the proletariat, and guide me to defend the ideology from any and all forms of revisionism. Long live the communist party and long live Chairman Mao.”

To empower this, burn red or yellow candles or offer tobacco or incense during the ritual. Once this is done, simply salute The Chairman by raising your fist by your head as is done in China.

When you hear the affirmation “I manifest instantly” you are probably thinking about the law of attraction and how this affirmation will help you manifest things you want into your life. However, it has many different interpretations that you will not resonate with or even realize until it is used for a while. For those of you who consider yourself non-spiritual or non-manifesters, you can take this as simply meaning you achieve your desires instantly. Another interpretation is that you appear instantly like a deity when summoned, or you can manifest instantly as your higher self and highest form of spiritual development instantly manifests in the physical world. If we focus on the "instantly” part, it can mean how time does not truly exist and everything is instant, so our experience in the current lifetime is not as we perceive it. The actual definition of manifest can also mean to prove something or display it, so the mantra “I manifest instantly” can mean I prove myself instantly or I express myself instantly. Depending on what language you say it in, it can even have more interpretations than those I have here, and they are valid since the semantics are different.

Use this affirmation as the most basic one. You can even layer it into subliminals or find subliminal audio with only this one affirmation, since it is so powerful. This is good because it saturates your mind with power without directing it towards a goal, so it can even help with life issues or mundane tasks you would not typically focus on.

Once upon a time there was an Axolotl deity living in the sky and watching over the world. He looked to humanity as a passive deity but eventually some people started worshiping him, so he created axolotls and dropped them into the physical world, and they fell into lakes in Mexico. They had regenerative properties and people liked them because they were cute.

Axolotls were a very popular animal and were considered sacred, but this drew jealousy from the god of salamanders. The salamander god confronted The Axolotl god and insulted his animals, so the Axolotl god told him his opinion did not matter because nobody likes salamanders anyway. The Salamander god was so mad that he cursed the axolotls, and made them need water to survive.

Magicians can call upon the axolotl god for regeneration, as well as for maintaining youth, neoteny, cancer resistance, and other benefits that Axolotls can provide to humanity.

If you have ever watched a show based in pre-Christian Europe, or some other setting where people are living off the land in pre-feudal organizations such as tribes or clans and thought, “This is how people should be living. Why did we abandon this?” then you might be drawn to primitive living. It may sound insane, but so many forms of entertainment such as games, movies, or books have themes of surviving off the land in various settings. Games about farming, building bases in forests to survive monsters during the night, or even games about surviving in a destroyed world after an apocalypse. There is clearly a type of allure for that kind of existence.

I should clarify that I am not advocating a return to pre-industrial society. I think the Unabomber may have had some ideas that touched on how humans benefit from primitive and pre-industrial living, but his ideology was engendered by rightism and fundamentally incompatible with Marxism, so I have no option but to reject most of it. Instead, I think I should point out the specific benefits of primitive societies while not overlooking the hardships of such a lifestyle.

Modern people work in jobs that would seem pointless to our ancestors. Being on computers all day, working in retail shops or stores, or even banking would be foreign concepts to hunter-gatherer ancestors who bartered and mostly cooperated with each other for survival. They might have spent a lot of time hunting or gathering for food, but when they were finished they would literally consume the fruits of their labor. The most basic comforts such as pillows, clothing, light, and entertainment would be laborious to produce, but they were made by hand by the person themself or members of their community. Similar to a commune, everything was a product of labor from individuals the person knew and they had good relationships with the objects they owned relative to modern people, who constantly buy useless things and see them as soulless, replaceable objects if not junk. Primitive people did not have junk, and everything had a use.

To add to the last point, their food was not processed and they most likely ate food prepared with better quality ingredients than what we would eat now. A lifestyle centered around schedules, deadlines, and lunch breaks means we are eating heavily processed food that would feel completely fake to our ancestors who prepared everything with natural ingredients. Diabetes was unheard of, obesity was rare, and sugar was not the main ingredient in everything they ate.

The best part about the whole situation is probably the environmental sustainability and their ability to live in nature without destroying it. The world was heavily forested during most of humanity's existence and this meant they did not suffer the effects of a changing climate. If there is any part of primitive living we should emulate, it is definitely learning to live with renewable resources, without harm to the flora and fauna of the places we live, and without polluting our environments.
