@Brandon here’s how I structure my approach to building customs. In this case, it’ll be about one of my two customs (the other one is Transgressive Will to Power) The Empress.
-
First, it’s advisable to use a notebook and write it all down.
-
Then, I think about the general purpose of the custom.
The Empress is about generating wealth around nurturing people who need emotional/psychological/spiritual help in their struggle with life problems. -
Then, I take into account my natural gifts and my skills which I want to improve using the custom in order to make acquiring that general purpose smoother.
If it comes to The Empress, the main natural gifts and skills I would like to improve would be:
- Perception and reading people.
- Empathy and intuition.
- Gleaning information from the subtle cues.
- Getting instant access to the information the moment requires.
- My love for people.
- Ability to console people, give them hope.
- Ability to easily and quickly connect with people and build good relationships.
- Ability to express myself freely and precisely
- Ability to teach or present my ideas and points effectively.
- Writing/texting skills.
- Ability to built trust, encourage, motivate and inspire people.
- Analyzing and planning.
- Influencing people and my reality.
- Lookig for new opportunities to grow and expand my “business”.
- Ability to build my own style business where I’m the main and only “product”, building my own brand and reputation.
- Then, I take into account what I want to achieve, my goals (of course, above, the main goals is to develop my natural gifts and skills [internal goals] so now it’s time for external goals/objectives):
- Become more attuned to the main purpose of running my custom.
- Build my own business based on my gifts and skills.
- Develop the attitude of Thoughtful Generosity which will serve the common good.
- Then, it’s time to find modules matching your objectives:
- All-Seeing (1)
- Intuition Enhancer (2)
- Awakened Perception (3)
- The Merger of Worlds
- Information Releaser (4)
- Blue Skies (1) (2) (3) (5) (6) (7)
- Virtue Series: Hope (6)
- Transcendental Connection (7) (11) (13)
- Dragon Tongue (6) (7) (8) (9) (11) (13)
- Sacred Words (6) (7) (8) (9) (10) (11) (13) [not a joke, since the core is communication]
- Torchbearer (6) (7) (11) (13)
- Mastermind (12) (14) (15)
- Potentiator (14)
- Sultan (15)
- Chiron (7) (8) (9) (11) (13)
- Tyrant (13)
- Pragya
- Yggdrasil
- Omnidimensional
- DEUS
The last four modules are about boosting the effects and manifestations.
All the modules ultimately support my external goals (16) (17) (18), but you may need to match some modules and your external goals.
- Then, it’s time to read your plan, ponder on it and make corrections. Maybe ask someone about certain modules too.
In my case, it’s about stacking The Empress with Mogul so that I can monetize my personal development following the main purpose (Thoughtful Generosity
).
