The Great Yeeting of 2025

To yeet (v.): To throw with great force and little forethought.

Often used in internet culture to describe something being ejected, cast aside, or obliterated with reckless abandon. In spiritual terms, to be yeeted is to be spiritually smacked so hard by reality, the Divine, or your own hubris that your soul does somersaults before landing in a ditch labeled “Character Development.”

Behold, the lore before the tea. 

Skipping the Boring Bits

We live in an age where everyone wants the aesthetic of power without the burden of discipline. Candle spells? Gorgeous. Oracle cards on a reclaimed wood altar? Sold. But beneath the sparkly Instagram shrine lies a deeper truth: a lot of people are trying to practice magic without ever laying a proper foundation.Foundational magical training isn’t just a chore list of grounding and shielding. It’s the scaffolding that holds your whole damn tower together when the winds of doubt, delusion, or mischievous spirit influence come knocking.

Even the OGs Had Teachers

Let’s address the myth of the magical rockstar who just knows everything intuitively. Spoiler alert: even the most “radically original” occult authors were trained somehow. If you dig into their biographies, you’ll find years of disciplined study, wrong turns, often rooted in long-standing traditions, Hermeticism, Qabalah, ceremonial magic, etc. They didn’t just wake up one day and summon Metatron because it felt girlypop. 

Why inexperienced DIY Shenanigans Can End in Ontological Arson

Now let’s talk about what happens when you try to DIY your way into the spirit world without foundational practices. Yes, intuition is important. Yes, trusting your gut is vital. But intuition without grounding is just undiagnosed anxiety with a megaphone.Here’s a non-exhaustive horror list of what can go wrong:

• Unprocessed trauma becomes an open spiritual wound. Perfect for parasitical entities to snack on.
• Naivety invites impersonators. That chilling “divine” voice might just be a sassy thoughtform in a Halloween costume.
• Binding contracts can be made early on, without understanding the spiritual fine print. (Yes, demons have constitutions.)
• Opportunistic spirits love a good cosplay. They’ll gladly pretend to be divine beings if it means feeding on your attention.
• Thought-forms accidentally birthed in obsessive rituals can turn into parasites.
• Open portals. Loose banishings. Sloppy evocations. You’re basically leaving spiritual windows open during a thunderstorm while your toaster is on the edge of the bath tub.
• Imagination vs. intuition vs. psychosis becomes increasingly difficult to assess. Bonus points if you also have sleep deprivation or untreated mental illness.
• Spiritual inflation. Suddenly you’re not homie anymore. You’re the reincarnation of 7 goddesses, 2 archangels, and a Coptic scribe. In one body.
• Obsessive looping. You start compulsively divining about the same issue. Again. And again. And again.
• Derealization. You lose touch with this world, this so very important very real world, especially when invoking extreme polarities without balance.

DIY chaos can become a dopamine chase. But real magic is often:

• Slow.
• Subtle.
• Built on repetition, devotion, and discernment.

Foundations are boring, until they save your life.Without them, you’re not building a temple. You’re blowing glitter on a sinkhole.

Magic Without Maturity Is Just Performance Art

You can do spells without becoming a better person. But without practices like breathwork, grounding, ethical philosophy, protection, and ancestor reverence, your magic is just disruption masquerading as transformation. You’re conjuring storms with no shelter built. There’s no container for the power you’re playing with. It spills everywhere. And then the yeeting begins.

I Promise I'm Not Trying to Gatekeep. Just To Warn You (Lovingly)

This is not a “don’t practice magic” PSA. If anything, I want more people to take their inner gnosis seriously. But the occult isn’t a sparkly solution to existential boredom. It’s not therapy by proxy. If you’re doing this for aesthetics, to fill a loneliness void, or to cosplay your way into a new identity, you’ll eventually hit a dead end, or worse, walk into a metaphysical bear trap.Real growth takes time. Long games usually have boring openings. But they also have better outcomes.

The Yeeting That Reverberated Through My Soul

Now we arrive at the actual Great Yeeting of 2025. I’ve been studying esotericism for over 15 years. The past 3, however, were my most dedicated. I had a consistent spiritual practice, a few trusted divine relationships, and felt I dare I say... confident.Then, I managed to alarm my own patron deity. Spectacularly.Without warning, he cut all communication. Radio silence. Why? Because I had gotten too cocky, too whimsical, and far too reckless with my practice.I had:

• Incorporated too many fantastical projections into my rituals.
• Stirred up cosmic orders without understanding (or respecting) divine hierarchies.
• Taken advice from well meaning people who were themselves knee-deep in delusion.

Weeks of spiritual heartbreak followed. Missed calls into the void. Dusty altars. Until a solar deity (whose name I’m keeping private for now) stepped in. Patiently, clearly, almost like a disappointed older sibling. They showed me what had gone wrong.It was humiliating. It was clarifying. It was called for.And it required me to go back to basics, foundational study, rituals with grounding, boundaries with spirits, and the humility to learn all over again.

In Conclusion: Thank You for the Smack

So here’s to the gods who love us enough to yeet us when necessary.To the higher self who smacked me in the head with grace.To humility. To discipline.To magic that actually works because it’s built on something tested.And to everyone else on this path: may your yeeting be gentle. But if it’s not, may it be worth it.
