CHAPTER EIGHT GAINING THE DARK SIGHT
Too often, the student will fail simply by doubting that which is
manifested, questioning that which he sees, hears, and feels before him.
.."lthough I was able to see in my inner vision the Powers, currents, and
entities with which I was working most of my life quite naturally, I
struggled for years with achieving a successful and satisfying openeyed
manifestation. I would set my black mirror on my altar, relax
my vision until the mirror filled with mist, and the moment that an
image gained clarity I would dismiss it as a projection of my
imagination. Needless to say, this insecurity became a liability in the
success of most of my ritual Operations.
This liability was not corrected until I finally evoked Mepsitahl.

tbrough, and carrying on basic real-time communication through the
Krying mirror, you can consider yourself capable of using your newly
discovered most ancient gift in more advanced occult practices, such
as evocation, necromancy, and exact divination. The possibilities of
learning practices such as remote viewing, bilocation, astral travel,
