The Spider and the Green Butterfly
The ancient mysteries, the most arcane powers will
descend to you in that hour, and you will gradually radiate
with the same dark vibrancy that is noticed in the presence
of Grand Houngans. Do not, however, attempt to call upon
Met Kalfu for these secrets, as he is very particular about
who he will teach and what he will reveal, and more often
will instead give false direction which will lead the aspirant
towards his own destruction, both spiritual and physical. I
have taken the greatest risk in working with Met Kalfu to a
vast enough extent to have many of these secrets revealed
to me, and while I have reaped the rewards, such rewards
are not always benevolent.
Mesmerism, the real kind which uses no words, no
ticking clocks or swinging watches, is performed through a
temporary enmeshing of the individual psychic bodies of
yourself and your victim. Even more potent, as is practiced
and Mastered by the Bocors of Haiti, is to enmesh the
psychic body of the target not only with one's own psychic
body, but with the additional psychic bodies of spirits that
will fly into the target at the Sorcerer's command.
As the Vodoun Initiate progresses in his study and
is buried deeper into the rushing current, he will find that
he in constantly and increasingly surrounded by spirits. He
will often see these as shadows out of his peripheral vision,
or may think that someone is standing next to him until he
turns to look and discovers that, at least physically, he is in
the room alone. Once he adjusts his vision to meet the
spiritual, however, he will see the army that has gathered
around him. Houngans recognize these as the spirits of the
dead, ancestors and other deceased who are bound to serve
the Loa, and therefore to serve those who are in
communion with the Loa. Much like in the Expedition
curse, these spirits can be sent traveling in terrifying
numbers to the victim, can take up habitation within and
around them, and can influence them towards even the
most extreme ends. Gaining such conscious control over
them requires a good deal of consciously working with
them, but once they can be sent to targets as described
above, the Bocor will be able to mesmerize any person
within seconds, and will be able to induce his target into the
deepest trance from any distance.
Although it may initially seem that the best place
and time to begin experimenting with this is in a quiet place
where you can be alone with the target, such will be fatal to
your experiments. Gain an invitation to a group gathering,
a party, celebration, or some other event where your target
will be present. You can even attend such a gathering and
find a target once there. People feel safe in crowds: they
are not likely to be grabbed, pulled, hit, shot, stabbed, or in
any other way attacked in a crowd of people. They let their
defenses down, at least in regards to being attacked. They
let strangers get close to them, closer when speaking, they
may rendezvous at various levels of intimacy with
strangers, they may drink more than they would usually be
comfortable doing if with a smaller group, and they may
act entirely inappropriately, thinking that their actions will
be unnoticed in such a mass of people. This is the ripe
environment for manipulation.
To create the introductory connection with your
target, approach them from the front and gain eye contact
with them. Maintain this and bring into your mind your
intention, your suggestion which will automatically deliver
itself. Sense the aura around you collapsing and moving
towards the target, towards their eyes, into their core, much
like sweeping your arms together in a pool of water, and
once your hands clap, a tide flows out in front of you. At
this point, you will send the spirits of the dead into your
victim. Your suggestions then do not need to be spoken,
but are automatically delivered, automatically suggested,
by virtue of your silent connection with the spirits that
possess and inhabit the target.
