For what it's worth, i'd like Noctifera to teach me, if she ever wanted a student. She seems to have a lot of experience and knowledge. I would like to learn about Ubi. She tells it to you like it is, no messing, so if you ever see this Noc, you wonderful lady!

I appreciate the sentiment. Though, if people really want to learn from me without going mental they can read through my posts, as that is most of what I am willing to share.
There is a lot more than people probably realize. I mean take a look at my number of posts -- sure some of it comprises of my own random bs, but I'd like to believe there's a lot of knowledge tucked in there. Lol.

Some thoughts I have on this. Not everyone is meant to know everything at any given time especially if they wouldn't know what to do with it. Even the universe knows this and won't reveal to you something unless and until you are ready for it.
A lot of the very general/foundational knowledge that you should be pursuing, I would say anyone could at least understand the path of within a month or two, if receptiveness and consistency is adhered to. Meanwhile a lot of the specified knowledge that I keep is only meant for particular persons, not intended to be given freely. When the student is ready the teacher will appear. The dynamic has got to work from all angles.

If you were shadowing me (as every teacher takes a different stance) what you'd really be doing is learning how to pave your own way or fend for yourself, lol.
Certain knowledge is only given to those who have really earned it or proven themselves. I know the worth of this. A lot of what I know and can do has come to me through chaos and it just wouldn't be the same experience to 'tell' or 'show' you.. the only way you'd get it is to live it, to have it happen naturally. This roots itself in profound spiritual, shamanic undertaking which is personal and I'd reinforce as the first step, maybe after you've spiritually died a few times you'd be ready for the rest.

So, suffice it to say the concept is great.. but you really wouldn't want to shadow under me.

Fair comment, Noctifera, you are certainly much more advanced than me in your knowledge and exprience like a Zillion times ahead, but can you reccomend any books on Ubi, so i can read up more about them.
I don't want to be able to conjure them myself, that is a very skilled art. I have asked in several well known specialist occult bookstores in London and they don't seem to have anything much.
I am just looking to gain more understanding of them. But thanks for replying. There is one store in the Uk that may be able to help, The Sorcerers Apprentice in Leeds, Have you heard of the store?

Of course books are great and there are a lot of solid ones out there for the metaphysical, but most of the time someone asks me to recommend them a book I really can't because to be honest the majority of my knowledge comes from personal experience.

Any books you would readily find on the market unfortunately aren't going to share anything from a personal perspective of direct experience, maybe in depth research through history but (even research of true depth is rare and) that really doesn't reveal much of import to the keeping community.

My favourite books of this nature are grimoires as they tend to speak about certain entities, deities, from the direct experience or practicing perspective - not all I would agree with but it opens a way for more legitimate discovery. Still I can't think of any that would give you the kind of info you seek.

I think if you have direct questions about the ubi then asking practitioners/those who work with them directly would be a good start and they will tell you whatever they can (as I do try to share whatever I can). Otherwise the true path to knowledge would start at enhancing your skills and confidence in those skills so you can freely interact with your spirits or entities, and learn from them directly. Then you're set.
So learning about something more advanced always starts with foundational knowledge, one can't expect to get to point C without focusing on points A and B.

I know that's not what everyone wants to hear, and like I said you can still gather some legit info from those in the know, but you really do want to be able to have that relationship with your spirits where they can tell you what you want to know about them. It is immensely rewarding and the bond between you can only increase!
Can't begin to explain how cool it is to be able to clearly interact with my spirits, the kind of things they are able to show or tell me, and how that brings us closer together. I hope for everyone to be able to experience that; but it takes patience, the right mentality, jumping on opportunities wherever they come up, and making the right investment.
