Almadel Operation, Armon (2)

Today is the morning of 08/17/2025. Performing the Almadel operation, invoking the angel Armon again in the identical manner to the last operation. Given my recent success using the crystal stone in the Almadel and in meditation afterward, I am repeating the use of the stone going forward. Today I intend to meditate a little bit longer after lighting the candles before invoking Armon. I'll be trying to use some of the scrying techniques taught to me by Aliel - in particular the use of the left eye.

As Armon expressed, I will be trying to keep a clear mind and avoid putting my impressions onto expressions of spirits and angels: such as how they appear in the stone or how they communicate. Today, I would also like to ask Armon some questions about the specifics of the Almadel ritual and why it is like it is. It is 06:22 in the morning, the hour of the Sun. Today when I took out the pieces of the Almadel, I felt a shiver run down my spine and arms, which I also feel now again after lighting the Almadel candles. I think I'm becoming more sensitive to the spirit world.

State of mind. Tired. Sober. Been frequently contemplating illness and death this last week. But also good things have happened.

[invocation, as usual]

[reception, as usual]

[petition]

I desire that you assist me in elevating my spirit and perception and wisdom. I humbly ask that you give my name and recommendation to your angelic brethren. I'm open to their appearance, guidance, and wisdom as I'm open to yours. Clean the mud from my eyes that I may see truly. Clean the mud from my ears that I may hear clearly your words. 

I'm grateful that you put me in contact with the angel Aliel. If there are other angels and spirits whom you think I would benefit from meeting, please recommend that they visit me. I wish to use my position in the world and my position with spirits to influence positively those around me and those whom I do not yet know.

I find solace in knowledge and wisdom and seek more.

How is it that the Almadel assists in contacting angels?

I feel Armon’s answer is that it simply assists in creating the required state of mind and saturates the senses to allow the spirits to impress their shape upon the… I guess you'd call it “static”... that happens when the senses are filled. 

Why is it that people are able to find success in their religious and spiritual workings when they seem to be incompatible (theologically)?

Armon says no theologian has ever uncovered the entirety of it all. And therefore, it is like looking at the truth from many different angles. Some may appear eclipsed or occluded or incompatible. These are the folds and the shapes of the reality, like being unable to see one leg of the elephant while feeling and observing it from the “wrong” side or the other side. And therefore, there's no way in this reality to perceive the entirety of a truth all at once. You can only approach it from an angle, one angle at a time.

Why is it so hard for spirits to become visible and for me to perceive spirits?

The reflections of the candle point in the stone look like very distant visages of four children playing. I kind of wondered if a lot of magic scrying and seeing is not only getting to certain state of mind, but a certain state of mind that's youthful and playful and very rare in the adult.

Armon, please show me in this crystal stone what it is that I need to be shown today. What do I need to see and understand?

I see an oil like rainbow sheen: spots from my current vantage point looking at the crystal. They’re somewhat reminiscent of aurora borealis’ light flickering through the sky. Of course, in some cultures, the aurora borealis is a symbol of the ancestors. In others, it's the wild hunt. And from one of these shimmering points, the streaks of this aurora, the face of a man… Starkly cast into relief and light.

His features are generic, but he appears to look a little bit like Putin with a knife-sword extending out of or into his mouth. Looks like the point is going into his mouth and the blade and the handle and hilt are still extended out of the mouth a little bit. 

Is there some way that I can increase my sensitivity and understanding of the magical and spiritual?

Armon says, yes, you need only pray. 

[A few minutes later] I see someone reclining in a bed. Over them, it's a black blanket. Only their head is visible with dark hair. Reminds me of my father.

Armon, what is this about? What is it about this person in this scene that I'm supposed to know?

The pinpoints of light that surround this figure seem like they're dancing and waiting in support to receive them on the other side. It is a sad scene, but also one of anticipation. And the spirits, these pinpoints of light, are glad to receive them. Thank you for showing me these things. I will reflect on them more, Armon.

Praise be to the god. Adonai, Helomi, Pine. Until I see you next year, Armon, please recommend me to your fellow angels to come and visit me. 

Post operation

It seems clear to me that the image of a man reclining in his bed is my father. He is not yet so sick that it is a vision of the preset. I have some tears in my eyes thinking about the upcoming illness and passing of my father. I do find some comfort in the idea that there may be spirits or something waiting for him on the other side.

The advice of the angels and the operation of Almadel has been very spiritually confusing for me since I've been so resistant to Christianity ever since I was a child. And the only way that I can engage with it as an adult again is from oblique angles where I can imagine that the God of which these angels speak is not even the same God as the one in the Bible. The image of Armon today was not very strong in the crystal. I could make out a similar arrangement of facial features from the same pinpoints of light that were present last week. But mostly I felt that he had appeared because after I completed the invocation, I felt another shiver pass through my whole body.

And so I did not have very much doubt that he was already there. His words in my mind were again relatively clear but not in a voice dissimilar to my own inner monologue. 

Logistically, it is difficult to describe verbally in a recording my impressions and what I'm hearing simultaneously with the experience without being taken out of the state of gnosis I'm trying to stay in.

I’m not sure what to make of the vision of Putin with a sword extending from his mouth. Putin has been in the news cycle more than usual this week as he is going to meet Trump in Alaska. The imagery of the sword extending from the mouth appears in several myths and images, though I am not familiar with an instance where the sword point is in the mouth. I think it usually reversed and the sword point is extending from the mouth.

For example Revelations 1:16 “In his [Christ’s] right hand he held seven stars, and coming out of his mouth was a sharp, double-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance.” I think it would be a particularly strange thing for Armon to compare Putin with Christ.
