I debated on this for several days now and with this grimoire not being actively worked on at the moment, I would rather share what I have and fill it out over time. This is in keeping with Pele's Grimoire 1 - A Path To Pele: A Grimoire To Journey Beyond Her Caldera. That tome started as a series of journal posts and had the same stop -and-start progress. The spirits teach what they will, when they choose to.

None of this has been released and it still very much a work in progress. It started 2 years ago and directly led to a book I put on Kindle (free with Kindle Unlimited) about energy work. It became quite clear that I needed to write the same tutorials for this book and chose to do a stand-alone book available for next to nothing that will allow for interested people to be able to use my work and future works more efficiently.

@vitriol - if this is considered advertising, please let me know and I'll take out the energetic book reference.

Pele: “I feel you. You're getting closer.”

Me: “I am. I've not been far and neither have you. A call and we speak.”

P: “Not like this.”

M: “No, not like this.”

P: “I'm waiting.”

(The connection strengthens the closer I get. I can and have called her from the ~4000 mile distance from Hawaii to Maryland. And Hi'iaka and Kamohoali'i. But my connection to Pele is obviously strengthening the closer I physically get. I'm about 4 hours away from landing after almost 3 years away. She's clearly pleased.

I can feel my connection to the Hi'iaka and Kamohoali'i strengthening, too. And I can feel a few more entities, also powerful, but one feels more so than the other and I don't know why. I'm reasonably sure, I know what the stronger one is, but not who.)

The Direction Change

On 17JAN25, a fundamental change in my relationship with Pele happened. On this night, I was back on Hawaii Island, watching Kilauea erupt. The two fountains moved me significantly and I decided to go through what I had been contemplating for the past week or so. I had been passed the book The Hierophant by Josephine McCarthy and as soon as I read past the first chapter, I knew I would be doing something similar. There is a copy available for free on the Internet Archive, for those interested. There’s a link in the references area.

What this meant was that I started going through the Hierophant Line ritual for Pele. The following are my words from a message sent to my friend the following morning about the series of events that transpired that night, after leaving the volcano.

Yes it is quite primal and I'm so tired. My throat is scratchy because of the vog, the volcanic fog. 

I projected last night like I would do for the gates (Book of Gates) stuff. I projected to a space that I was shown in my head. This sent me inside of a volcanic chamber, but it is somehow inside one of the peaks. I don't think it really exists, but it leads to Kilauea. Because this is such a monumental undertaking, I was really reserved last night.  Not only did I reach out to Hecate earlier in the day to say hey will you please verify for me before I do this because there's really no going back. I'm pretty sure it's Pele, just a slightly different aspect than the one I deal with. Maybe this is because I was dealing with her in a different medium that I typically do. 

Hecate was amused but she did. Then, I reached out to Zhao Gongming. I said, "Zhao Gongming, forgive me, but I've been remiss in asking for your opinion on whether I should do this”.

He replied, “Would I have not said something if I thought it was wrong?” 

My hesitancy was a bit off-putting to him. I think because it was just so clear I was second-guessing myself almost completely. 

He continued, “If I said ‘no’, what would happen?” 

“I would listen to and consider your counsel. I believe I would likely just have to wait longer.” I kind of got talked to a little bit like that so I apologized for taking his time. In the end he just kind of nodded and let me wrestle with this. 

So I projected this place that I was shown with a tunnel to Kilauea and the back portion of this volcanic cave opens up to Kilauea and, of course, Pele's there. I was told to go to sleep so some of the preparations could be made.

I wake up and I don't know how long I slept. I immediately returned to the volcano and Pele was still there, but I can't remember if Hecate was there or not. She says, “Are you ready?”

“Yeah I am. I don't need sweet talked.” 

We talked a little bit more about the formal expectations. Most are more generalities, because they can't be anything else. It's not like I'm asking for money and women and coke. I’m answering a strong call to duty.

I told her some of my concerns. I asked her to bring the proper students to me and I will set up the school at some point. I told her the only exception to having to send students to me was a friend of mine who's been with me on this journey since almost the beginning. I had no expectations that they would take any sort of oath (to Pele, not to me personally) or anything like that. I wanted to make that clear. As for the rest, I would ask that Pele send them to me and I will do my best to try to identify that that is who they are and why they're here. (I had a feeling it may not be obvious at times). She agreed to that.

One of the things that is not lost on me and one of the reasons why I reached out to Zhao Gongming is that there are now four lightning entities that I recognize - except Pele was the first. I haven't worked with her in that aspect and I think I will at some point.

I agree to everything and she agrees to everything. Looking back at it now, my pull to Pele is partly what McCarthy calls a ‘consecration’, which is a previous worshiper or something similar that goes beyond that one lifetime. and I'm pretty sure that a lot of those I've recognized in the past were Western or Eastern, but not Polynesian. Polynesians/Hawaiians do a lot of singing and dance chanting. 

I only remember me and Pele being there at that point. I knelt and she placed her hands on my head. She kissed the top of my head at the crown and she had to formally ask, “Will you accept my line?”

“Yes. I will accept your line and promise to perform to the best of my ability with what we've agreed to.” She accepted me in the same manner. 

She replied with, “You have to be cleansed first”

She was talking about the McCarthy cleanse that was done by an “Angel” (her definition, not the common one). I called Hecate and asked if she was supposed to cleanse me. Then Archangel Michael came forward on his own. It was kind of a strange sight. Pele, then Archangel Michael, and then Hecate all staring at me while I’m feeling the gravity of the task ahead. I started explaining what I was wanting him to do  - a cleansing and the removal of bad ties and unhelpful attachments. I did verify that it could take a while for those things to be rectified (McCarthy says it can take years in some cases) and Michael didn’t offer anything additional. 

It was quite strange. It was like he was leaning over and whispering but it wasn't faint. It wasn't like words to me. He's there for a while. I don't know how long it lasted. Then, he indicated we were done and I could get up. I was told to go to sleep. I could see that they were using the McCarthy method as a way to reduce my stress, since it was what I was more familiar with. I was quite stressed and afraid I was not going to be able to sleep because I got to see that amazing sight at Kilauea that moved me much more than I thought it ever would.

I knelt and she placed her hands on my head. She kissed the top of my head at the crown and she had to formally ask, “Will you accept my line?”

“Yes. I will accept your line and promise to perform to the best of my ability with what we've agreed to.” 

I kind of felt her enter the top of my head almost like a top down point of view. Then I was standing and she's coming within me and we're overlaid. I can feel there's a merging or an anchoring similar to an anchoring that I would do but much more graceful. 

I'm feeling her with me overlaying that same space at the same time -  being in that same moment as me. I can still feel part of her with me now. 

She's staying there with me and then said, “I want you to go back to your body. You will feel me there.”. 

I went back to my body and felt her there with me. I think that because of all my partial possessions in the past this wasn’t traumatic and I didn’t really resist. I’ve done many partial possessions with her over the years, such as allowing them to see rainbows through my eyes and to see and smell flowers through my senses. If you think that Pele was once human (she’s considered a Demi-goddess by some and a full Goddess by others), then this is more of a remembrance. That didn't really cross my mind when I was laying there in bed and I'm still feeling her look through my eyes.

I'm laying in bed and I'm feeling her there. I have no idea what time it is. I'm trying to normalize it but also trying to understand and feel what is different. Hecate had been in overwatch mode and vouched again for it being Pele. Then I hear Pele again saying, “You must sleep”. I was like how the fuck am I going to get to sleep now? I did get to sleep, eventually.

I wake up again and I don't know what time it is. I started taking my messages at 7:30 and I fell asleep after midnight. All of this happened in about 6 to 7 hours. I can still feel Pele there and know it's not done yet. There's still a lot to do, but I don’t know what that is. 

I woke up and projected back to the inner volcano and she's standing there almost at a lectern. Sometimes it was there and sometimes it was not throughout the night. 

“You have received the line but it will be strengthened.” 

I know that this was partially because I had told her that I had to function over the next few days while we were still going to be on the island. I was still going to be doing a lot of driving, hiking, and interacting with people. I specifically asked that I not cause a divorce over this next three day period (only half jesting). I wasn't expecting anything like that, but it still came out (the delay buildup request). Please don't let me ruin the family trip. 

This was the one of the points where she had the lectern there and it was almost like a small up-raised altar table. I could see there was a huge piece of volcanic rock on it. She said, “You will be shown to the stone. I will provide you a stone.” This is to use as an anchor for my altars and for those of this future school. I was concerned with the size of that particular stone I was seeing. That would probably not make it through inspections for the flight home. It was almost the size of a basketball. 

“I will trust that you will help me find it.” 

She told me to put my hands on the large stone that is rounded on the bottom, but has a sort of pyramid-like upper portion, mimicking a volcanic peak of sorts. I put my hands on it and then felt that part of her in me and the part of me in her harmonize in some way. I was still me and she was still her. We weren't the same thing but they were more complimentary. We did something with the stone. I don't remember what it was. I know we created an energetic anchor that will then get put inside of a stone here in the physical. I can't be at Kilauea all the time. We were creating these things to use as a link  back at that inner volcano and to Kilauea. We were creating some of the pieces now to implement them later. I forget what happens after that. What I do remember is that we strengthened the connection to Kilauea and my ties there. Then, I was sent back to sleep.
