_Chakras - Energy Centers.
Dear Journal,
There are energy centers within a human body, clusters in head - in brain, in throat, and down the spine as well.
Each of these energy centers are called 'Chakra', which can be literally translated as 'Wheel'. This symbolism tells us a great deal. The wheel is circular in shape and turns upon it's axis. Each chakra is also described as lotus, 'Padma'. The lotus, much like a lily, is an extremely beautiful flower with many petals. The chakra is similar to both the wheel and the lotus as it revolves around the centre and unfolds its individual vortices.
The human being produces a complex and specialised energy field, a living network of subtle energies. The chakras are significant centres within this living network. The channels which make up this network are often likened to rivers. Like rivers, these lines of energy may be blocked by obstruction, drained empty, full and nourishing. Where many rivers meet, a confluence is formed. It is a powerful pooling of energies, a whirling vortex of force. This is a chakra: the confluence where life energies meet. It is the wheel of life.
During meditation, often with proper breathing, mantras & visualization, these energy centers - as well as energy channels - open like a flower & are purified - life-energy can flow smoothly, one becomes well-balanced & harmonized; One can feel this energy circulating one's own body, can tap on it for martial arts, martial combat, healing, acupuncture, massage or spellcasting - and probably for other ways as well.
I am not so strictly a medicinewoman, i don't know much about human anatomy - so i do not know finer details of energy centers & it's flow - i have only a basic knowledge; Perhaps will deepen it as my life continues.
There are seven major chakras.
1. Muladhara Chakra - located at the base of the spine. It's name comes from words 'mula', meaning root and 'adhara' meaning base or support. Here we have first clue to the function of this centre. It provides our sense of rootedness and grounding in the world. As a tree cannot stand strong without deep roots, so we cannot grow without a strong connection to the outside world through the first chakra. Muladhara chakra is attributed to the colour red and element of earth.
2. Svadisthana Chakra - it is located at the coccyx in the lower abdomen adjacent to the base chakra. The sacral chakra is clearly connected with the sexual and reproductive life. When open this chakra permits deep interrelationship and connection. When this centre is closed, feelings and sexuality remain disconnected. Svadisthana chakra is attributed to the colour orange and element of water.
3. Manipura Chakra - it's located in solar plexus, and likened to personal sun; It is a personal furnace & a storehouse of life energies; It represents the sense of self and place in the world. Manipura Chakra is attributed to the colour yellow and elemental fire.
4. Anahata Chakra - located in middle of the body, where heart is - it's also called 'heart chakra'; attributed to Compassion and Unconditional Love, colour of green, and to element of air.
5. Vishuddi Chakra - located where's throat, it's also called 'throat chakra'. Clearly, the throat chakra is connected to the functions of speech and the ability to communicate. Empty words should not be mistaken for communication. The first four chakras move through the elements of earth, water, fire and air. This fifth element - 'Akasa' - symbolises the mystery that is life itself, spirituality & space. This chakra is attributed to the colour of blue, to the colour of the sky.
6. Ajna Chakra - the 'thrid eye chakra', located on the forehead; it's the 'eye of mind'; Ajna implies both 'to know' and 'to command'. It's both perceiving & thinking that this chakra is responsible for. It's assigned none of elements, and a colour of indigo. Mantra for opening & purifying this chakra is: 'OM'.
7. Sahasrara Chakra - the chakra at the top of the head is called the crown. Crown chakra is important for spirituality, for enlightenment. the crown chakra is attributed the colour violet and none of elements.

_Enlightened Energies.
Dear Journal,
i am a Witch & a Seeker of Enlightened Energies.
But what they are?
In this world, there are none - or a hidden few - of the Enlightened Teachers who can bless, give lessons, help to reach Enlightenment.
Yet there are traces of their influences, there are auras - powerfields in which one feels blessed, feels happy; Enlightening Powerfield is also called 'Mandala', yet this word holds other meanings, related with Enlightening Practices, as well.
There are objects of art, lessons & related philosophies - found mostly in Kara-Tur; these often radiate blessing, radiate energies as well.
… finally, i heard a lesson that all is energy, even matter, even living beings. Thus 'Enlightened Energies' also refers to the people who reached that Mind-State of Enlightenment, that Mind-State of fully realized Wisdom & Compassion.
Relic or Artifact that is the homage to Enlightened Beings is called 'Torma', and seekers of such hold the title of 'Tertön'; The title of 'Tertön' is a very high praise among initiated circles - it's not easily earned.
i think that my Witchcraft & the Blessings of the Enlightened - work well together.
i can use magick to protect, to support people - spreading Wisdom & Compassion, this is Enlightening Activity.
i think that my magick can benefit from blessed energies of enlightened beings as well - it can increase spells' power, it can help to protect innocents, inspire to use spells & rites responsibly.
i do meditate on art, science & spells, i do meditate on Wisdom & Compassion, i do meditate on Protecting Activity, i do meditate on Elightenment.

_Hidden Meanings & Secrets.
Dear Journal,
Thoughts about Enlightened Energies, Hidden Secrets, Magick, Mysteries & Hidden Meanings occured to me.
Many of Enlightening lessons are lost, but there are 'treasure seekers' who search for objects of art, for textbooks with lessons, for other clues about such mysteries.
i am such 'Seeker' as well and know that hidden treasures can be found anywhere - these can be discovered in a textbook found in a deep cave, in a beautiful poem or a paint, in a misty pond surrounded by candles. Once someone uncovers deeper meaning of something this can open eyes & mind, can lead to revelations, to deeper understanding of Wisdom, to being closer to Enlightenment a little.
Enlightenment is a mind state, it's reached by cultivating Wisdom & Compassion, there are other ways that help as well.
i am a Witch & a Seeker as well, i wrote a poem about ones such as i:
'Quiet & light, this young witch is;
In hidden meanings - she finds revelation'.– Yours, Chea Allin, a Witch & a Seeker of Enlightened Energies.
Ancient Statue,
Is it a clue?What secrets it holds?
Can it open eyes?_–

Order of Golden Light, a Helping Hand.
_Dear Journal,
Within our City of Peltarch, monks have started to appear on the streets and down at the docks.
They have been handing out food to the homeless and giving small acts of charity where possible.
They spoke of the Golden Light aiding those in the Jewel of the Icelace, as our city is sometimes called.
The monks themselves seemed very pleasant, they talked with anyone who did approach.
They did not give answers to questions about their order, but simply stated that they are willing to help where they can and they do so in the name of the 'Order of Golden Light'.
i did approach them & introduced myself as a meditator & a scribe at the Selune's Shrine in the Temple Lighthouse.
i wished monks all the best, and thanked them for their efforts.
i hope all good they do will last.

TAROT Tools.
TAROT Cards.
_Dear Journal,
A while ago i did paint my own divination deck. Now i did exchange it for more classical, TAROT deck of cards.
This TAROT deck of cards uses symbols of Swords, Wands, Pentacles & Chalices in Minor Arcana Cards, there are also Major Arcana as well.
These symbols are occasionally named differently, for wands can be named scepters, pentacles can be named discs or coins, … etc.
i happen to have all of these symbols contained in the ritual tools in a certain form or another.
Swords - Athamé : it's a symbol of masculine (it's long) correspondence, of thoughts & of the air element. Useful for directing magickal & psychic energies, for casting circles (drawing protecting or invoking pentagrams on ground), for a rite of union & for other purposes as well. It's a version of sword, just shorter, more practical in the small-spaced ritual quarters. When neccessary, i can arrange for a real sword as well.
Wands - Wand of Curing : it's a symbol of masculine (it's long) correspondence, of feelings & of the fire element. Especially useful for curing body & mind, but can be used for other purposes as well.
Pentacles - Well made Silver Pentacle : it's a symbol of feminine (it's round) correspondence, of thoughts & of the earth element. Useful for protecting - especially mind - against magickal attacks, for other uses as well. It's said it can impart silver moon's wisdom on a wearer, it's connection with godess can aid in manifesting (realizing) spells as well.
Chalices - Well made Silver Chalice : it's a symbol of feminine (it's upper part & base are round), of feelings & of the water element. Useful for a rite of union, as well as for scrying - when filled with a water - that acts as a mirror. It has other uses as well.
TAROT Deck of Cards - It's a symbol of Spirit & Space (it brings elements together, joining them), can be used for divination - fortunetelling method, differing from scrying that it relies on asking higher (or lower) powers. Indivdual cards or series of these are powerful ritual casting tools as well.
All of these tools can be used in composing a witch's altar, or used individually, together, or with other ritual components such as candles, herbs, crystals or incense.

_About Demons & Devils, About the Blood War.
Dear Journal,
… i was hesistant to write or even think about Demons, Devils & the Blood War they wage across the countless Planes, for Souls, for Feelings, for Minds, for Lives, for Energies ... often causing bystander casaulties & tragedies on the mass scale.
Demons are Chaotic Evil Outer-Planar creatures of the Abyss & related Planes of Existence.
They are also called Fiends.
They spread fear, tortures, terror & panic, they feed on chaos resulting & the beings' misery & torment.
They feed on Souls & Sins as well.
Examples of significiant Demons are Succubi, Vrocks & Baalors.
Devils on the other hand are Lawful Evil Outer-Planars, of the Baator Hell & related Planes of Existence.
They are also called Baatezu.
They seek to enslave & dominate, to enforce their laws, to torture mortals ... they also feed on the suffering resulting from that, as well as on Souls & Sins.
Erinyes, Kyton, Pit Fiend are examples of more significiant Devils.
First contact with Evil Outsiders happens in Mind, it's when it's either fought, summoned, bound or banished. When i have to battle them, i use Protection Mantra & Wisdom Mantra first - so i can - under Protection of Enlightened Energies - learn the Wisdom of how to defeat them ... then i make a Wish to execute what i learn later.
After an initial Mind-contact, duel falls on the Speech & Body levels, more of the battle, rites or service follows externally as well.
Problem is - the more one knows about Evil Outsiders, the more power they have over one as well ... it's a mutual danger escalating, Mind is polluted with presence of related ideas as well, there's more of ego's stiff ideas to defeat.
There are also spells to summon, weaken, bind, kill, or banish the Evil Outsiders.
They cannot enter the mortal planes unless invited or summoned, so they seek that opportunity actively, offering power or other privileges - or scaring into submission.
When an Outsider is killed on the one of the Material Planes, it's spirit returns to Outer Planes, only killing them at their home plane destroys them forever. It's very difficult task, often not as simple as slaying powerful Outsider, often the way is far more complex - other factors have to be considered as well.
Evil Outsiders often use other evil creature servitors or undead as well, more significiant ones are very intelligent at that, using infiltration, illusions & deceptions as well as the Politics.
it's argued that these are not real living beings, that they do not have Mind, that they do not have their own Souls as well - but personally, i do not know if it's so simple or completely true.
-- Yours, Chea Allin, a Witch, a Seeker of Enlightened Energies, an Adventuress,
a Cerulean Star 2nd as well.P.S. My Master Attentus was for years tortured by a Vrock Demon - he defeated it with power of Compassion & Patience eventually.
P.S.S. Patience is important when fighting Evil Outsiders - not all of Wisdom is revealed instantly, after speaking Wisdom Mantra. Compassion, Honesty & Truth also help in countering Evil Powers & Influence._

_Barrier Weakening.
Dear Journal,
It's been a while since i left our office for a Peltarch's Commons chat.
Met an old elf-blooded hin bard called Atel & other Adventurers - she told me that they are discussing Demons near Jiyyd, and that Energy Barrier that contains them past the Jiyyd River is weakening perhaps.
i was not prepared for such Adventure, so i called Selune's Shine upon them & said good night a while after.
i'll prepare for Adventures soon, if there are any in the following days.

_Sensing Troubles.
Dear Journal,
i've perceived insights.
… insights of a telepathic origin, coming from Anheim as well.
telepathic insights cause self-arising insights, thoughts appear in Mind.
... not only telepathic insights cause self-arising insights however, what we see or perceive via other senses as well,
... our wisdom, experiences & understanding as well,
it's abstractly (generically & on topic) called a 'self-arising wisdom' at that.
this wisdom appeared, i understood that Anheim is trying to involve himself into troubles, he'll try to join a group form of a Lucid Dream, they will approach the 'Dream Vestige' Entity.
this Entity, called 'Beeble Ravelzilch' is entrapping people in the 'Dream Cages', it's a 'Nightmare Relentless'.
it's related with the now-defeated Sharran Bard Chirade & people involved as well.
we'll see how this will unfold, i hope it's not too much for Anheim as well.
this Entity has it's sectarian followers as well, i'll add.

_Against & Vampires & Demons.
Dear Journal,
Vampires in Peltarch are active again, reports say important one came by the ship.
Vampires drain life, drain power, perhaps it's an opening for the Power Duels of Magicks.
i'll transform the 'Firebrand' spell into the 'Whitefire Chant' - to give the extra meaning against Vampires & Demons at that.
Vampire Illusionists are prominent in Narfell, i bought two 'See Invisibility' spell scrolls from Gnarl, to preserve the 'True Sight' potions against the lesser threats; for 200 gold pieces total, for i'll need them soon.
i bought 'Vampiric Touch' scroll from Hemrod to study it well, for 666 gold pieces at that.
i have 10010 gold pieces left in the Peltarch Bank, i had other expenses as well.

_Druidic Monument.
Dear Journal,
… today it was a refreshing day.
First, i went to Violetta's to make certain modifications in my attire.
Changed colours of one of my robes to Black, Silver & Purple.
Second, i went to check rumours of a Druidic Monument erected near Peltarch.
Found it, studied for a while then left.
It was simple but beautiful, in a way.

_Meditation.
Dear Journal,
Today's weather was cool, nice & somewhat rainy, i do not like too much of the sun.
Used that time to Meditate at Mermaid's Patio.
Dear Journal,
What is Meditation? Why to do it at all?
Meditation is a pleasant experience, i was taught to sit & observe mind.
As i sat, my body was immobile & spine straight, head slightly lowered.
i've observed mind & breath, visualized forms (imagined symbolic images in front of me, enlightening forms called yidams),
It's said that Meditation helps to transform our view - our knowledge & how we see the world - into experience.
Meditation is a way to understand oneself better, to defeat one's ego, to be more wise & compassionate, to reach Enlightenment.
It's ego that separates people, makes them suffer, defeating it makes everyone happier.
It's said that Enlightenment is much more than happiness, Enlightened people reach True Greatness in this life & after Reincarnation.
As a result of Meditation, my energy channels open, i change … i can be better at what i do ... at casting spells & more.
One can meditate on something, on a way she or he proceeds ... to develop ... but ultimate goal of Meditation is Enlightenment itself.

_10th Arcane Initiation.
Dear Journal,
i've initiated myself into the Arcane Mastery again, 10th time in my life.
'Energy Channels' in my Mind & Body were purified & opened, allowing Arcane & Enlightened Energies to flow more freely.
now i can cast 5th circle spell, it's 'Firebrand' for now.
my weaker of spells also grew in power & duration, as well as in a number of casts per day.
i can cast weaker of spells more often, at higher circles, if i use 'Metamagical Still'.
i've also picked up 2nd circle 'Lesser Dispel', as i let go of 'Flame Weapon' for it.
i am more combat- & adventure-worthy since now.

_Shadows of The N'Jast War.
Dear Journal,
A few of people gathered in the Peltarch Commons, including one of the most charismatic, famous, powerful & accomplished Adventurers of Narfell, Raryldor Siamytherelin, Elven Priest of Corellon Larethian.
Talk was nice, i complimented him watching over the cats & other animals … then young man came asking him of the Narfell's Past.
We went south to Jiyyd, to hear the tale & to see it's results with our own senses.
In short words:
This started with Kara Du'Monte, the former Paladin of Kelemvor who fell from God's grace & became the Vile Blackguard ... She led N'Jast's army to Peltarch, seizing the Jiyyd as army went onwards through that route.
Army proven unstoppable by Narfell's forces ... but then suspicious 'Ally' appeared. 'Cogg', so-called 'Agent of Neutrality' offered a 'Weapon that would End the War'.
Three Heroes of the time: General Grag of the Troff Legion, Kenton Seth - the Spellsword Cerulean Knight Leader & member of the Spellweaver Keep as well as Raryldor himself teleported in midst of the N'Jast Army ... then General Grag hurled the Weapon, 'Black Egg', into the nearby Lake.
'Black Egg' turned to be Powerful Portal Device that opened th Gate to the Lower Planes, attracting many Fiends (Demons) that quickly demolished N'Jast Army, scattered it's remains & sent them fleeing. War with N'Jast threat ended indeed, Peltarch was saved, but at the great price. Now demons of the Lower Planes of Hells threatened to take over Narfell instead.
Adventurers looked for solution to the new Threat, it was Druid Circle who concocted the Spell-Ritual that contained the Outsiders in now-ruined Jiyyd-Battlefield. Resulting Barrier prevents Outsiders from leaving this area still, if i am not wrong.
We explored Jiyyd Ruins, defeating minor Quasit demons on our way, paid a visit to the Ruined Legion Fort, Dwarven Temple as well.
We noted existence of tunnels leading into the underdark inhabited with aggressive fiend-twisted-dwarves & more monsters onward. We didn't take chances with them.
On our way back, however we did hear two beast-yells from east, from where we came. Rushing to check, we noticed two powerful Outsider-Beasts, Devil & Demon, Pit Fiend & Balor. We had a glimpse of the Blood War, the War between Devils & Demons spanning across the many Planes of Existence.
Young man stupidly charged them, then one of Balor's spells killed him quickly on the spot.
Not willing to leave body to twist & rot, Raryldor engaged Balor, defeated him, even if it was Pit Fiend who dealt the killing blow.
Battle lasted for a while, i took a glimpse of that ... while the desperate wounded Demon hunted for my life-energy, trying to dispel invisibility spell i protected myself with.
With Balor defeated, Pit Fiend Fled ... probably because Demons still had upper-hand in this old battle-field.
We recovered the body & went west to Kelemvor's Temple, where Raryldor brought young man back to life & gave him a reprimend for his stupidity as i've averted my eyes to not look at naked dead body of this foolish man.
I've decided to recover & recollect in the Temple, meditating there for a while.

_Past the Kobolds' Swamps.
Dear Journal,
… with Elvadriel & my new acquanitance - adventurer named 'Soros', A Hunter & Warrior, we have looked for typical trouble & adventuring rewards.
We've met at the 'Crossroads' in the Nars Pass, talked for a while & played with Elva's 'Eyeball' familiar the game of 'fetch the gem'.
Then we went North to Swamps near Peltarch, to the Kobold Cave, to the Lizardlands & past these both - to the Near' Troll Bogs.
It was a rather long exploration trip with not so great spoils ... still better than nothing, of course.
-- Yours, Chea Allin, an Adventuress & a Witch.
P.S. My 'Hold Person' a Spell proved very useful against the 'Tougher of Lizards' as well.
P.S.S. i didn't attempt to find Nade, for such trips are too dangerous for her.
P.S.S.S. During this a trip, i've learned a new & quite nasty trick for the Arcane Healing. ... just summon a weak evil being, then cast 'Vampiric Touch' spell on it. Even if it's killed, the nature of 'Summon' spells makes it's body reform mostly unharmed in a day or so - in it's home 'Plane of Existence'._

_Too Much.
Dear Journal,
… a woman should not carry a lot of weight in equipment, it is very tiring.
i had this issue recently, couldn't carry a much of treasure during adventuring as well.
Despite bags that magically reduce & spread the weight over body ... it was just too much this time.
i've looked over my equipment & noticed blue 'Cerulean Leather Armor' packed in one of the bags ... weighting about the 10 lbs.
... almost never used, i've requested equipment exchange in Cerulean HQ, didn't have to wait for long this time.
... now have a light-weight 'Gauntlets of Power' that enhance my Physical Strength & Discipline, that as i'll advance in Cerulean Ranks - new model will also add to my Spellcraft Knowledge as well.
... i still keep my former Master's Attentus 'Gloves of Spellcraft' for sentiment & for practical use, there are times (Enchanting for an example) when these are useful still.
-- Yours, Chea Allin, an Adventuress & a Cerulean Star 2nd.
P.S. ... planning to buy a well-made & light crossbow as well._

_How do potions taste?
Dear Journal,
How do potions taste?
… depends on a potion & it's source.
Simple, fairly expensive greenish healing potions can taste nicely, more or less as an aloe-plant candy mixed with the gnomish mountain soda-water.
Kuo-Toa, Goblin or Kobold mixtures are more or less vile & alcoholic.
Other potions vary in the taste, but alcoholic & herbal themes are there.
There are fairly rarely side-effects of overdosing too ... save for a purse-emptiness.

_Archmage's Demise.
Dear Journal,
… something happened, we were approached by Elvadriel's familiar, who sought us in Peltarch.
After travelling south we learned that she was contacted by a certain Archmage's men ... there was a possibility of establishing relations between mages of Narfell & of another land.
A group of us went travelling into snowy mountains, facing threats of Snow Goblins, Ice Trolls & Winter Wolves.
We've reached a mountain community, but mage's tower was closed to us ... to enter we would need to be admitted by nearby Yogi of the Mountains.
Without asking questions we embarked on the way.
After finding a 'right-sized' Yogi of the Mountains, i've offered him 108 gold pieces so he can afford drinks, food, lights & clothing ... traditional gift for such.
Instead of inviting us to his home, he provided a censer with incense, it's purpose in opening Archmage's Tower for us.
Then a few of us heard bell-sounds coming from the the town.
We've returned hastily to face assault by no goblins, but armed & armored men.
It's when a 'Hold Person' spells proved a useful assistance against attacking archers, we did defeat the raiders as well.
There was explosion in tower, men & women slaughtered, treasures stolen, kids taken into slavery.
We did liberate the kids, treasures seemingly as well ... taking with to Norwick.
After sharing the spoils i got a new Sorcerer's Robe, a Curing Wand & a Belt for the Cerulean Knights' Chests.
-- Your, Chea Allin, an Adventuress of lands near & far.
P.S. ... if Archmage lives still, he'll probably contact us later._

_Book of Shadows.
Dear Journal,
… what is a 'Book of Shadows'?
A 'Book of Shadows' is a personalized, handwritten book containing a witch's spells, rituals, and wisdom.
No two will be identical.
The concept underlying the 'Book of Shadows' is that for centuries, people practicing witchcraft & related religions were persecuted, and practices had to be secret, for safety's sake.
Possession of any kind of magical or similar text could be grounds for conviction of witchcraft.
The name 'Book of Shadows' refers to the neccessity of keeping these books safely hidden in the shadows, rather than out in a plain sight.
There were situations of witch trials, where a witch was found with a copy of a
well-known Ancient Grimoire (a spell book) along with a private, hand-written books of spells and rituals in which a witch copied parts of that famous Grimoire. Witch's books, which were destroyed, fit the definition of a 'Book of Shadows'.... what is a 'Black Book of Shadows'?
it's a 'Book of Shadows' containing Black Magics that can be used for Protection, even if in itself it's concepts are harmful.
... it's a thin line to tread carefully, to not be sucked into Dark too much as one Protects her family, friends, allies & so on.
energy sent returns after all, and White Magic is a strong counter to Black, for it specializes in fighting Black.
i'll write more on that later, if i can.

_… who am i ?
Dear Journal,
i've chatted a little by the Norwick's a bon-fire.
Norwick has a past of witch-persecution, people are almost unaware of enlightenment as well.
… what is witch, what she's not?
witchcraft is 'craft of the wise', a true science & art.
witches are independent women, knowledgeable & experienced, mostly in matters spiritual.
words of 'witch' & related mean in many languages 'wise one', 'knowledgeable', 'medium'.
witches are those women & men who live with godesses & gods on a friendly terms, not begging, just asking for empowerment so they can do things of their own.
when called 'medium', they act as a bridges to the worlds spiritual.
witches can notice magic in any thing or color, etc ... they know how to draw their magical powers from ... or at least whom to contact for that.
what they notice & understand affects them, as well as giving them the power.
they use that a knowledge in their crafts as well.
what are enlightened energies?
traces of wisdom & compassion can be found everywhere, an enlightening qualities in itself.
there are those who have closed minds however, who would rather see magic persecuted, witches insulted ... even if witches consider their titles ennobling, are proud of them.
many prefer to use discretion, to not endanger others, to not reveal their magical crafts.
... i think it's wise as well.
