A Potent Ritual for the Destruction of Obstacles, Hindrances and Opposing Forces.
 
There are moments upon the Path when mediocre correction is no longer sufficient. Certain obstacles do not yield to patience. Certain blockages do not dissolve through contemplation, cleansing or persuasion. They have become too deeply rooted, too heavily reinforced, or too entangled within the life of the individual. 
 
Alternatively, the interfering influences may have become too much, too overwhelming and too overpowering to try and remove them one by one.
 
At such times, one must call upon a force that does not negotiate with obstruction.
 
This ritual calls upon, petitions and directs Nergal, the ancient Mesopotamian god of war, plague, burning heat and the underworld, to utterly destroy the obstacles and hindrances within and around the petitioner.
 
Nergal is not a mild or passive power. He is the scorching force of the noonday sun, the fury of battle, the silence of ruined cities and the sovereign terror of the land beneath the earth. He is the bringer of collapse to that which has overstayed its rightful existence. Before him, weakness is exposed, resistance is broken and stagnant structures are reduced to ash.
 
Where lesser forces loosen, Nergal tears apart. Where others open a path, Nergal annihilates everything that dares to stand upon it.
 
Within this operation, Nergal is directed to seek out, confront and destroy all obstacles affecting the petitioner - both those that can be clearly seen and those concealed beneath the surface.
 
This may include (but is by no means limited to):
 
Internal fears, hesitation, self-sabotage and destructive habits. External opposition, hostile circumstances and persistent interference. Magickal blockages, spiritual stagnation and unwanted energetic influence. Repeated failures, closed roads and patterns of delay. Situations that drain vitality, courage, discipline or personal power. Relationships, environments or circumstances that continually obstruct progress. Etc.
 
The purpose of this ritual is not to provide temporary relief. It is intended to strike at the foundations of the obstruction itself.
 
Magickally, the rite will help break through spiritual resistance, stagnant conditions, hostile workings and entrenched energetic barriers.
 
Spiritually, it will assist the petitioner in severing attachments, confronting weakness and reclaiming authority over their own path.
 
Mentally and emotionally, it will help bring buried fears, destructive patterns and inner resistance to the surface, where they can finally be faced and overcome.
 
Within mundane life, it will help create movement where there has been delay, reveal hidden causes behind repeated difficulties and force stagnant circumstances toward resolution.
 
Physically, it will support the removal of exhausting conditions, burdensome routines and external pressures that have left the petitioner feeling weakened, trapped or depleted. This service is not a substitute for medical care, but may be undertaken alongside practical efforts intended to restore strength, discipline and forward momentum.
 
This is a ritual of war against obstruction. It is not performed to gently encourage change. It is performed to bring an end to that which has prevented change from occurring.
 
Those who request this service should understand that the removal of obstacles may not always unfold quietly. When deeply rooted hindrances are destroyed, circumstances may shift rapidly. Relationships may end. Hidden truths may emerge. Familiar patterns may become impossible to maintain. Doors may close so that stronger roads may finally appear. yet not all with appear violent - new opportunities may suddenly arise, and your life (and practices) may become expediently more successful.
 
Nergal does not preserve that which must be destroyed. He clears the battlefield. He burns away weakness. He breaks the walls. And when the smoke has lifted, you are left with the opportunity to advance without the chains, barriers and opposing forces that once held them in place.
 
For those who have struggled against the same obstacle repeatedly…
 
For those who feel trapped within cycles of delay, resistance or defeat…
 
For those who require not comfort, but decisive intervention…
 
The Red Hand of Nergal offers a formidable and far-reaching rite of destruction, severance and liberation.

This ritual includes all ritual offerings to Nergal for appropriate petitioning and directing.
