Anything absurd and not paradise is dystopia. So nonexistence would be dystopia. More relevent is that we live in dystopia, so I should have made the post about Earth being a Dystopia and How it's a Dystopia. Further than that, any volatile is dystopian, and any pain is dystopian. The sun being too...

Would you care to expand on those rather spare sentences?

I had a big long post typed up, with point by point rebuttal and the whole nine yards, but really why prolong this argument. We are obviously coming at this from vastly different points of view (though we actually are using similar logic to get to our stances it seems). This has turned into the quin...

Magic is will and intention. It's also such a simple thing as effort = results. if you take some table salt you get salt water. It's easy, it's cheap and your spell is going to be cheap. If you actually spent the time to gather enough gold to manufacture your own talisman it is going to be so much ...

Where did you get this idea that you need all these expensive things to practice magic? Your results are not contingent on the depth of your pocket book. Would I like a solid 24 carat gold seal of Solomon? Sure, but I don't need it to do what I want to do. I suppose that that's why I never got into ...

So I suppose the question is what you mean by "thoughtform". Do you mean a thoughtform in the sense of a servitor in chaos magic/artificial spirit helper, or do you mean a "tulpa" in the recent internet version? Basically are you interested in a very vivid imaginary friend, or a ...

What is stopping you from doing both? That would be my preference, or better yet combine previous experience with the other techniques with the herbal assistance.

It is yet another way to gather energy.

Also, spell check. Seriously that is a nearly unreadable post.

You might think about discussing this with a doctor.

I expect that this advice will be taken poorly, but there you have it.

You can command and/or bind them yes, but why? To what end? It's not taboo per-se but there's little point to it generally. The half life on getting sensible responses is generally fairly short, and there are more effective spirits for actually getting things done.They might be an okay energy source...

Awww, now I've been expressly forbidden from doing this by the friend I showed this too. He did say that I could use his "Glorious chest pelt" as a smoking jacket though... [yay]

It's legal to buy them they're just pricey. Google it, "human skulls for sale" turned up a plethora of options.

You can explore some talents and suppress others to a certain extent, and there are some fairly easy things you can do about unwanted entities being near you. But they are not fool proof there is always a chance the unwanted bits could return to the fore, though once you guarded against them once it...

Hello, and happy reading.

You may find it helpful to study another magical (it doesn't need a k) tradition/philosophy/what have you along side ChM, as it is helpful to have a grounding in general theory. Hard to paradigm shift if you don't have some paradigms to shift between.

Semi-off topic question: why the hell is everyone and their mother diving into sigils? Lack of discipline to try any other other arts? Lack of desire to spend time trying any of the other arts? They heard it from their friends/internet/book and it seemed easy? Because everyone has to start somewhere?

Squares and rectangles. Magic is the overarching term witchcraft is one way of practicing magic, in my most common usage of the term (as this seems to have descended in to quibbling about personal definitions). Witchcraft can also be used as a religious term (most commonly by wiccans, which is why y...

Is that some how less reasonable than the existence if other forms of spirits?

From what I've seen of the "tulpamancy" phenomena I'm not sure that the people drawn here by a subforum on it would really understand the rest of the site. Generally the people creating these thought forms don't seem to really grasp what they are doing or how it might connect to anything o...

I'm not sure I could rightly be said to be practicing chaos magic but I have stolen certain facets of it. None the less here I am replying to this topic. I tend to be fairly open handed in my practice with few fixed tools that I mostly don't carry on me (or use for that matter, the ones I have kept ...

The organization is the James Randi Educational Foundation. but don't bother trying to collect, if you're not famous they're not interested, and Randi himself is entrenched enough in his world view I doubt you'd get the money if you made his entire ancestral line rise up and tell him to stop being a...

Wow Jack, if only that had anything to do with the world outside your head. You remind me of someone else who's incoherant rambolings I've had the displeasure of reading. Back to the topic at hand. You should be able to channel the energies you're looking for in either place, though your personal pe...

Aww, cute. Look guys it's proselytising!

nawwwwww.. Who's an adorable little rabbid christian. (insert obligatory finger wiggling cute gesture here)

You could investigate Cyclic methods of control also,abstinence at times of fertility etc. would help,but it's not foolproof. Far from fool proof, as generations of catholics can attest. You may well be able to render yourself sterile with magic, but why, there are easy reliable material ways to do...

And how do you start to make or find more energy? I don't have nearly enough ok, so this may or may not make sense, but you start out by feeling the energy around you, (this may take some training, others can probably recomend exersises for this), next, what I do at least is push out a ring of ener...

I could see several ways of getting rid of such a spirit, the final method would depend greatly on what manner of ghost it was. If it was attached to some object for instance getting the object out of the area would be a quick simple solution, burning it, or submerging it in running water, or in som...
