The Method of Loci is something that has been popping in my feeds lately. It's a simple visualization technique where you associate information with locations. You create a palace and in each room you store different information basically. Afterwards you can walk around in your place to remember information.
It's also extensively utilized in esoteric practices. The trick as always appears to be expectation of outcome and clear intent.
Visualization in Ritual Magic
Practitioners use mental imagery to create vivid scenes or symbols. This technique often involves invoking archetypal figures or elements (e.g., fire, water) to influence both the internal psyche and external reality.
Pathworking
A practice within Hermeticism and Kabbalah where a practitioner mentally journeys through the Tree of Life or other symbolic systems. Each path represents psychological states or spiritual truths, and the visualization acts as a means to internalize and embody the knowledge.
Astral Projection
While not specifically a memory enhancement technique, it involves creating detailed mental landscapes to explore other "planes" of existence. Some practitioners integrate memory palace principles to navigate these planes or recall their experiences afterward.
Sigil Crafting
In chaos magic, sigils are visual symbols charged with intent. Practitioners often combine these with mnemonic techniques to "store" the sigil's meaning subconsciously.
Geomancy and Sacred Geometry
The use of spatial arrangements (real or imagined) in symbolic ways. Some systems link these patterns with mnemonic devices to memorize and connect different layers of meaning.
Chanting and Mantras
Reciting sacred sounds or phrases, often tied to a rhythm or cadence, aids memory and alters consciousness. Visualization techniques are frequently combined with these to amplify the effect.
Dream Incubation
An ancient practice where practitioners consciously plant questions or problems in their minds before sleeping, using symbolic imagery to influence dream content for insight or recall.
Delving into the concepts and explaining technique, an amalgamation of pathwork, astral projection and skrying.
Don't do OOBE's kids. There is indeed lasting effects but they are mostly positive, I actually have research material ready for that thread. Channeling is good too
Creating guardians are fun, best feed them or they eat you. There is also a concept of creating a "safe room" in a memory palace that you can retreat into and lock. Like a proper vault.

Quote:In this practice, you visualize an arched door, like the one in Jay’s image above, with a Major Arcana tarot card on it. Stepping through this door in your imagination leads you into the astral realm. The practice of deep, meditative visionary journeys is called “skrying in the spirit vision.” Tarot Pathworking on the Tree of Life is a structured approach to following a specific sequence of these astral journeys for spiritual development.https://joyvernon.com/using-magical-door...e-of-life/

Quote:Some visualisations are not safe (e.g. ones that invite you to visualise going out of your body) and should not be attempted by the inexperienced. People often think that it’s all happening in your head and therefore you can visualise whatever you like with no consequences, but that is not necessarily the case. Magic (defined here as “the art of changing consciousness in accordance with will”) does have real effects, even if they’re only psychological effects.https://dowsingfordivinity.com/2013/06/0...thworking/
