If you are devoutly committed to achieving never-ending bliss, you’ll probably need to be in touch with your Holy Guardian Angel. But who, where, what, why and… I suppose… how, *is* this uncomfortably named spiritual entity? Keep watching to find out.

My name is Anna Bellissima, I am an extremely powerful magician (as of course are you), a writer and shaman of words, and my purpose here is to equip you with the tools and concepts you need to achieve your hearts’ desires.

Today we are talking about the Holy Guardian Angel. Plenty of magicians love to shroud this being in mystery and create a sense of exclusivity around knowledge of this angel… in fact, the relationship is eminently available to anyone willing to see past the awkward pseudo-Christian nomenclature, and decide that they are ready and able to meet them. I’m going to tell you exactly how to go about this, but first let’s set the stage with some foundational understanding.

The Holy Guardian Angel as a concept first appears in Western Occultism in the very beginning of the 20th century in the Book of Abremelin by the deliciously named Abraham of Worms. And knowledge of and conversation with the Holy Guardian Angel was emphasised by famous British occultist, troublesome uncle Alister Crowley and his contemporaries in Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, as being the ultimate purpose of the spiritual path – that this IS the great alchemical work of gnosis.

One way of looking at this is to consider that at least one definition of the Higher Self would be the pure, divine energetic essence of us – whereas the Holy Guardian Angel is the personification of that essence.

Each of us is in a binding and non-dissolvable relationship with our Holy Guardian Angel from the moment we are born until we shuffle off this mortal coil. And, somewhat confusingly given the name, if you look to them for protection from suffering you are very likely to be disappointed.

We could hypothesise that the Holy Guardian Angel is actually the divine elements of our ‘selves’, the eternal spirit who has put forward a small part of themselves to be incarnated into a human body. Living in complete, unopposed creative bliss may get to be a little wearing after an eternity, so a short period – say around 80 years, give or take – inhabiting the frailty of the human body for a round of the Game of Limitation (or as we call it ‘life’) is a welcome diversion.

And unfortunately for our poor human souls, the Holy Guardian Angel loves dramatic tension. They love a great story including tragedy, heart-break, disatisfaction, despair, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory and other such dances. They are every bit as enchanted by our suffering as they are by our bliss.

But the Holy Guardian Angel is unequivocally tethered to the divine source – any time we feel our egoic self dissolve, replaced by that incredibly expansive knowledge of ourselves as the creator of the entirely universe – that is connection to the Holy Guardian Angel.

Debate about whether the Holy Guardian Angel is an internal part of us or an external entity are entirely moot if we accept ourselves as indistinguishable from the divine creator. Internal or external, the end result is the same and the initiation of knowledge and conversation is reached in the same way, so the debate only serves as a distraction from that important work.

There are a number of different rites and rituals created specifically for the purpose of contacting your Holy Guardian Angel but the common themes tend to be retreat from society, prayer, fasting and surrender. And if you are on a strict spiritual path, those routes are indeed highly recommended.

BUT, as with all things in magick, there is very little that is a hard pre-requisite. The fact is, that if you are just starting out on a spiritual path you will probably be more interested in practical magick – or magick to get things (usually money, power and sex) – than transcendence for it’s own sake. And if you’re at the point of being interested in contacting the Holy Guardian Angel, you’re probably ready and able.

You could also experiment with some easier and more pleasurable practices than fasting, isolation and prayer. If you adopt, even temporarily, the idea that the Holy Guardian Angel is the voice of our intuition and provider of our inspiration, for example, you could try created a committed meditation practice with the specific intention of encountering the HGA and see what happens.

In shadow work, knowledge of the Holy Guardian Angel is particularly fun, because, as our eternal guides, they take ultimate responsibility for delivering to us all the experiences we learn and grow from which, it just so happens, are usually the painful and difficult ones. It would be easy to come to resent them, in this case, so it helps to visualise them as a devastatingly, magnetically attractive, sadistically sexy lover, who is endlessly aroused by our frustration, humiliation, desperation and despair.

Framed that way, and with the understanding that pain is in fact a source of power (as you can see in my lesson on Quick and Dirty Alchemy), is a pretty effective way of ending your human suffering – which is a pretty big promise, and one I recommend you explore.

Whether you are *actually* contacting the Holy Guardian Angel through your kinky fantasies or whether you are *imagining* it is largely beside the point – the important thing being that you are digiligant in your efforts and follow through on the wisdom you are given.

Encountering the Holy Guardian Angel is universally a positive experience although it may require dramatic changes to your life path. They will reveal your true life purpose, and your path, so it is a work to be undertaken with diligence and devotion and I wish you only the very best of luck with your endeavours to meet your kinky, sadistic guide.

Beautiful soul, I truly hope this little lesson has helped you on your path to unstoppable magical power – I can’t wait to see what you have in store for the world.

If you interact with magic, you’re probably very turned on by hilarious new ways of working with your shadow, so that you can get more money, sex and power. Stay tuned, kittens.

As usual if you are very clever with a short attention span like me adjust the playback on this lesson to 1.25 or even 1.5 speed: it will help your focus.

My name is Anna Bellissima, I am an extremely powerful magician (as of course are you), and I am here to awaken you to your fullest magical power.

Today we are getting into it with Demons. Naturally, I will begin by explaining why you would want to embark on such a venture, and after that I shall teach you how to begin demon work for fun and profit.

Before we begin you will find the concepts I share here far more fully explained in Uncle Ramsey’s Little Book of Demons, which I shall detail below. I found the practice so invigorating, I am compelled to share it with you all here.

Setting aside the better known demons of the ancient grimoires, understanding our own demons, closer to home, is an important body of work – a lifetime’s work, in fact – because our demons are the little spirits, the gnarly knots of karma, trauma, conditioning and limitation, that hold us back from the manifestation of our every desire.

These demons are indeed a personification of our shadows – both individual and collective. If you are a regular viewer, you will know that there are many ways of addressing these demons, some of which are outlined in the previous lesson on shadow work.

And today I present another method to add to your craft basket. It is an approach to life’s suffering and struggles that encourages an attitude of curiosity and play; which alone is reason enough to pay close attention followed by gleeful experimentation.

In a moment we will talk about identifying and conversing with demons, but first some context to our demonic invocations.

The central axiom we are working with is to treat all of life as you would wish to be treated. Empathise with recalcitrant technology, converse with the weather… study and name the patterns of frustration (and success!) in your life, then create a conscious (rather than unconscious, as it has been until now) relationship with them.

This is the principle of animism: the attribution of a living soul to plants, inanimate objects, and natural phenomena…. where nothing is ‘inanimate’ – everything is ‘possessed’ of a spirit or intelligence. And here we are extending that attribution of a spirit to PATTERNS of emotions, situations, circumstances. We are noticing patterns (which is an incredible gift of the human brain) and ascribing soul, spirit and intelligence to them.

I strongly encourage you to believe whatever you like, about the literal existence, or not, of demons; simply ‘try on’ animism as an optional set of rules for this Game of Limitation – I’ve found few more powerful techniques for handling whatever life throws at us.

And as we all know by now, when you look for intelligence, with your heart and your incredible human brain, when you look for intelligence in a thing, or in this case in a PATTERN – you will find it.

The first major benefit of animism is this: once you ascribe a soul and spirit to a thing, you can enter a relationship with it. You can communicate, and learn from one another, and compromise or even collaborate.

And the other great benefit of summoning demons in this way, is that it instantly forgives and absolves YOUR self from any sense of blame or responsibility for this situation, no longer is there any sense in trying to ‘puzzle’ your way through the problem, taxing your poor dear brain to come up with ‘the answer’. No longer is there is anything wrong with you that means you can’t make more than a certain number of pounds a month – it’s just that you live with a demon who depends upon your financial stricture.

And in case you still need persuading, this method has has a wonderful side effect: that you learn to treat all other beings in a more empathic, compassionate and humane way. including all other humans, and including of course, yourself.

Now that we understand why it is worth talking to demons, let’s understand how to talk to them.

But before we go on: the lessons I teach on this channel will change your life, the information in them is transformative. So I’d like you to subscribe, if you haven’t done so already – and imagine how deeply your future self will thank you for never missing a precious nugget.

To find your demon, identify any area of your life in which you feel pain or struggle. Some common demons include depression; sickness; nostalgia, or the feeling that everything used to be so much better; lingering injury; our feelings towards our bodies; low self-esteem; financial scarcity; scarcity of love and connection; stress and anxiety.

And having decided on just one of these demons, we can converse with them through divination. Uncle Ramsey, suggests internal divination first, which works like this: generating (through the power of imagination) a strong physical sense of the ‘do not like’ emotion and become very clear on what it feels like in the body. Where it lives, the temperature, whether it prickles, aches, fizzes or burns etc. Ask the demon if this will represent a ‘yes’ answer, and then continue to ask ‘yes/no’ questions using physical sensation as an indication of the affirmative.

For people like me, who are less naturally intuitive, a pendulum may be used instead.

And then as we move forward in life we can look at the ‘mood’ of the pattern or system and ask “If I were in that mood, what might I do next?” and then observing what does happen next.

Imagine we have a demon who is sabotaging our efforts to grow a successful business. How do we address that demon? Presumably, the effect of the demand means that you dwell on where the next client will come from, brood on the possibility of being forced to admit defeat, accumulate pain of rejection and failure.

And we need to turn our attention away from the negative and ask what is gained. Does it confirm a prejudice you carry? Does it allow you to be deliciously helpless and needing rescuing? If you can uncover some hidden benefit, this is an excellent conversation starter because it transforms the relationship you have with one being who is always loyal – the demond. Now they have been reframed as a caring figure who works hard to keep you safe, and you are both in a better position to discuss the problem at hand and seek a mutually agreeable solution.

May I speak with the demon who relies upon my feeling of financial scarcity? Do you adore when I am worried about money? would you be willing to compromise or even collaborate, so that we can both get our needs met? would you be willing to exchange my fear and worry for excitement and arousal? would you be prepared to change the rules of the game so that you rely on my exhilaration? shall we partner up to see just how fast we can get rich? will you be happy to speak with me again soon?

My loves, you are too clever! You have spotted it! This is another form of alchemy. Does you need to believe in demons? Absolutely not. Is this all just imagination? Absolutely. Your human mind and power of imagination is the greatest power you have, and you can use it to turn the rules with which you have been playing this game called life upside down and inside out and play it however you choose.
Are microscopic movements in my fingers influencing the pendulum? Of course they are! The creative force of the entire universe lives within me, I am the entire dreamer of this dream! I know every answer to every question I will ever ask – the pendulum just helps to get it out.

If you are in psychotherapy, your therapist may use the term ‘projections’ to refer to demons. Psychotherapy is a noble calling and an excellent form of self care, but I find working with demons to be far quicker and more hilarious.

And like all magic, once you decide it is true, the Universe starts to unfolding exactly as if it was true. So what will it be? Do you wish to live in a world of magic, or not?

Oh, and I should point out to you, that if your demons start acting up now – well of course it’s because they’ve been watching this lesson with you and may now become upset or even resentful if you do not initiate contact. Of course they may also be relieved and take the opportunity to gain even tighter control over you.

Beautiful soul, I truly hope this little lesson has helped you on your path to unstoppable magical power – I can’t wait to see what you have in store for the world, now that your shadow knows it is accepted, adored and admired.

Thanks so much for watching, please remember to subscribe for more life-changing lessons, I love you, and I will see you next time.

If you keep running up against the same patterns of stuckness, being broke, unhappy at work, unlucky in love or any other repeated and tiresome scenario, you need to show your shadow some love. And I’m about to tell you how.

Before we start, my usual tip: if you are very clever with a short attention span like me, adjust the playback of this lesson to one point two five or even one point five speed. It will help you focus.

My name is Anna Bellissima. I am an extremely powerful magician, as of course are you, and I am here to awaken you to your magical power. The information I share on this channel can genuinely change your life to an overall experience of joy and bliss instead of suffering. So it is a good idea to subscribe and click the little picture of a bell so you never miss a class. We’re going to tackle the subject of shadow work in four parts.

First, we’re going to understand what the shadow is, examine how it can cause us difficulties, learn how to spot when the shadow is at work, and finally, we will explore some ways to love your shadow.

So what is the shadow? The shadow is a term coined by psychologist and psychoanalyst Carl Jung to describe the unconscious part of the personality. Of course, the unconscious part of the personality has existed for as long as we have. But Carl Jung brought this particular terminology into Western culture. There is no intimation that the shadow is in any way bad or evil, scary or anything of that nature.

He uses the description – the descriptor shadow – to describe a part of ourselves that is constantly with us, like our shadow, but which we generally pay very little or no attention to. The shadow describes our unconscious mind and is developed throughout childhood as a response to interactions we have with our primary caregivers. And the shadow develops when our parents or caregivers ideas of how to live in this world don’t match with our our own.

So as little children wanting to please our parents, we suppress or repress certain desires, wishes, behaviors, and they become our shadow. Whatever we repress in order to fit in with our family of origin becomes our shadow. As an example, say that you were a very sensitive, emotional child, but were born to parents who don’t like to acknowledge emotions, don’t understand how to interact with them, and always directly or indirectly give you the message that emotion, that your emotions are too much and you need to be more stoic, more resilient to adopt the British stiff upper lip.

You’re repeatedly being given the message that you need to be different to how you naturally are. Children don’t generally have the capacity to acknowledge that parents make mistakes or that that your parents may not, in fact, be good parents. So what we tend to do instead is outwardly accept the edicts of our parents and the shadow will be formed of the idea that we are too much and that we are sensitive and emotional. And that is somehow a flaw rather than what it actually is, which is, of course, a great strength and gift.

So we’re working with the definition that the shadow is any part of ourselves, of our mind, our personality, our soul or spirit that we do not acknowledge or accept. And finding a way to identify and communicate with the shadow is vitally important because the shadow actually holds a huge amount of power in our daily lives. Consider how often you are shopping for groceries or driving your car, but your mind, your conscious mind is actually somewhere entirely different.

Rehearsing imaginary conversations or regretting the past, worrying about the future. And meanwhile, our shadow, our unconscious mind, is making choices and is quite literally in the driving seat of the car.

So if we’re trying to manifest outcomes following the law of attraction or performing practical magic towards a specific desired outcome, it’s just not happening, then more often than not, that’s because the shadow has its own agenda of how it wants things to pan out. And it is not what your conscious mind has in store. It is not what your conscious mind desires.

The shadow is operating all the time and has a life of its own, its own magnetism and its own magic. So as much as *you* may desire a peaceful life with every thought and every fiber of your being, if your shadow enjoys drama and struggle, your shadow will usually get their way. And very effectively, shadows are indeed masters of manifestation magic.

So I’ve previously alluded to how you can spot your shadow is at work. But let’s go into a little more detail.

The first way of discovering why your shadow is at play is to observe very closely whenever you have a particularly visceral or extreme response to certain people or situations, those very strong, angry, resistant reactions are usually pointing us right directly towards our own shadows and can be a genuine gift. Pay attention to the kinds of things that people say or do that trigger a strong emotional reaction. And if you’ve watched my video on Quick and Dirty Alchemy, you’ll know that emotional triggers, painful emotions are actually a genuine gift for growing our personal power.

And we can actually come to love and appreciate being triggered as it is a route to transformation. Earlier in this video, I spoke about repeating patterns in our life, never being able to earn more than a particular amount or repeatedly ending up with shiftless and unsuitable romantic partners. That is another clear indication that the shadow is at work. And another way to find out where your shadow is, is to simply ask yourself. Take a lovely bath, enjoy a meditation journal, and ask yourself, what parts of myself do I dislike or judge or fear. Any part of you that you do not accept, any part of you that you do not love wholeheartedly, that is the shadow.

So once we’ve identified even just one aspect of our shadow, that is enough to get started on the very important work that is known as shadow integration. And the goal of shadow integration is to gradually encourage our shadow by means of letting that previously unloved, unaccepted, rejected, shunned, feared part of ourselves to come forward into the light and to release a little bit of its control over our circumstances and our fate.

The more things about ourselves we don’t love, the more control the shadow has. Which is why the work of self love, self parenting, inner child work and shadow integration is so very important because it gives us back control, gives our conscious minds back control of our lives. This work is about self love. It is imperative that you find a way to love the parts of yourself that you believe are unacceptable, the parts that you nag and judge and criticize yourself for.

I’m going to give you some methods for this in just a moment, but be vigilant about self judgement. When I was emerging from a long and torturous period of depression and anxiety, I remember reflecting upon how easy it was for me to love my children unconditionally. But somehow I couldn’t seem to muster the same grace towards myself. So I made a conscious decision. I decided to talk to myself the same way I would speak to a distressed or frustrated toddler, with love, compassion, patience and support.

Judging, criticizing, telling off or nagging your shadow only makes it stronger. And as an adjunct to that observation about treating our shadow like a toddler who we love and are responsible for, is to consider personification: to imagine your shadow as a distinct entity who has very different desires to you, but who is masterful at manifesting conditions that fulfil her desire to experience pain, frustration, struggle and so on.

Of course, there are some wonderful methods of approaching this work, including journeying with plant medicine, psychotherapy, past life regression, therapeutic hypnosis and and many more. And you can make a start by examining your childhood and making self inquiry into what aspects of your personality, what aspects of you were judged as being not acceptable to your parents. And that will give you a pretty good starting point. From my own experience, the work of Byron Katie, in conjunction with the concept of radical self acceptance, was absolutely key to recovery from severe depression and anxiety. And later on, I added in the work of Carolyn Elliott from her book, Existential Kink, and that was pivotal in learning to reframe pain as pleasure. If you are already well versed in shadow integration techniques and are looking for a shortcut when pain arises, do check out the video I previously mentioned on Quick and Dirty Alchemy.

But this is not for those making a first foray into shadow work. Remember to please that for every negative in the shadow there is a huge positive and doing this work enables us to remember and reintegrate the gifts into our lives, the gifts that came as part and parcel of the parts we were taught to reject. So perhaps you came from a family where it was frowned upon to be seen as talented, so you repressed your wild vivaciousness and creativity.

And once you beam love and acceptance on the part of you that believes you need to stay small and mean, the talents you have been hiding, then have full permission to shine. And you can answer the question, if I wasn’t scared, how would I spend my time and move forward despite the fear? And please refer to my last lesson on confidence and personal power to allow that to begin to beautifully unfold. My beloved souls, I truly hope this little lesson has helped you on your path to unstoppable magical power.

I can’t wait to see what you have in store for the world, now that your shadow knows that it is accepted, adored and admired. Thank you so much for watching. Please remember to subscribe for more life changing lessons. I love you and I will see you next time.

If you ever experience a lack of self confidence, I’ve got magick to share that will make feats that seem inconceivable today, entirely possible tomorrow.

My name is Anna Bellissima, I am an extremely powerful magician, as (of course) are you, and I am here to awaken you to your magical power.

But before we get going, a tip: if you are a very intelligent person with a minuscule attention span, like me, adjust the playback of this lesson to 1.25 speed : it helps me greatly to absorb attention even when I am feeling scattered.

The information I share on this channel can genuinely change your life to an overall experience of joy and bliss instead of suffering. So it would therefore be sensible to subscribe, and click the little picture of a bell, so you never miss a class.

I received a question: Anna, how can I boost my self confidence once and for all?

This is a topic that plagues so many people: lack of confidence can hold us back in all areas of our life, from building a career to building fulfilling relationships. And so finding a way to solve this problem is vitally important, so that you can pursue your desires, dreams and ambitions. And pursuing our desires is a very sacred calling – and don’t you dare let anyone try to convince you otherwise.

Before we progress to the magic, let’s first properly understand what we are speaking about. Lack of self-confidence, is actually just fear, dressed up prettily so that we don’t have to acknowledge the brutal truth. All those things we’re not doing – is because we’re afraid. So lack of self-confidence is not a personality trait, it is a human trait. We all experience fear.

And self-confidence, as you know when you feel it, is the deep belief in your abilities and skills, and the embracing of the quirks and differences that make you so adorably you. Someone who is very self-confident exudes a kind of natural power, and that is part of what needs to be unpicked, because very often among sensitive, spiritual and soulful people, power has something of a bad reputation. So people will prefer to stay lacking confidence, rather than be accused of being power hungry or arrogant – as if that were a terrible thing.

So if you feel uncomfortable being powerful, that is definitely something you will need to explore before being able to consistently move past your fear. Moving past fear – or bravery, in other words, IS an act of personal power, so you won’t be able to do this unless you are ok with experiencing yourself that way – and of course, you need to embrace the concept of your personal power in order to fulfil your soul’s mission on earth.

As an example of bravery, I vulnerably share this story. Typically, when I am preparing to record one of these videos, my inner critic – holder of the vessel called ‘fear’ – berates me. ‘You look like a clown! You look like a fucking clown! Everyone is laughing at you!’ Oh beloved, I respond. Thank you so much protecting me and keeping me from harm. but really, I am ok. I don’t mind too much if people laugh. I like my make up like this. I’m going to be ok.

This is to illustrate that despite all this – I do not experience myself as confident. I experience myself as brave.

For practical and actionable advice: the first suggestion I would make is to work with your deities. If you are into planetary magic, as I am, making a petition to Mercury for confidence in matters of business and communication; to Venus in matters of love and relationships; to Jupiter in matters of money, Mars for confidence in competition and Saturn for confidence holding boundaries and feelings of safety, for example, will all serve you well.

If you have an interest in the energy centres of the body, called the chakras in Eastern traditions, then finding a meditation and embodiment practices specifically to heal the root chakra and is recommended for giving a feeling of security.

And another extremely powerful practice for developing your confidence is affirmations. If you watched my previous video on the subject you’ll know that I personally prefer really good questions, so I suggest consistently and repeatedly asking yourself something like : “how did I become so confident?” “how did I unlock such courage and power?” ask yourself the questions, and when the hint of an answer pops into your thoughts, follow it with the tenacity of a hound on a scent.

But remember this vital point: magic requires a mundane means of manifestation. In other words, you need to also DO THINGS that will enable your self-confidence to grow. Which means, I am sorry to tell you, challenging your fears.

Unfortunately, confidence, in my experience, FOLLOWS action, not the other way round, and confidence grows by repeatedly doing scary things and discovering that, in fact, ‘the worst case scenario’ very rarely happens and, if it does, we are able to alchemise that pain – that rejection, humiliation, the negative feedback or troll comments – into power (and you’ll see more about that in my lesson on Quick and Dirty alchemy which is invaluable to this subejct).

The work required in order to be able to do these scary things is to consistently question and reframe the stories we tell ourselves, and recognise that the fear itself is a construct of our own imagination. We have IMAGINED ourselves into a state of trembling paralysis. Once we recognise this, we can of course imagine ourselves into a different and more empowered state.

Developing self-confidence and personal power is very much a practice and NOT, I am afraid, something that is ‘done’ once and for all. My experience has been that by making a point of doing something terrifying, and then noting the results, the stories I tell myself about the dangers of risking criticism, negative feedback or ridicule, loosen their grip and my capacity for doing more ‘scary’ things expands.

When the Universe puts a frightening step in your path, and you take it, your guidance becomes clearer, intuition stronger, your personal power increases and the rewards from the Universe are greater – Your Holy Guardian Angel WANTS to see you challenge your fears.

Beautiful soul, I truly hope this little lesson has helped you on your step to serene self-confidence and expanded personal power. I can’t wait to see what you have in store for the world, now that you no longer allow fear to hold you back.
