Re: Researching the occult, risks?
I'm just going off what the OP said. He never said she was asking questions or doing her own research, quite the opposite, he said that she asserted researching these things was in and of itself dangerous. You said "shes asking" three times but the OP never said that, he said that his moth...

Re: Researching the occult, risks?
So yeah i told my mother that i was reading the satanic bible and she actually got pissed at me. My mother is very experienced in spirituality and shamanism and she believes that if you open yourself up to this sort of stuff you make yourself available or more vulnerable and are more likely to attr...

"21. Having kept both the hands under both the thighs, with the body straight, when one sits calmly in this posture, it is called Swastika." Yet when I search for images of this position, every other source shows a cross-legged position with the feet on the opposite thigh/calf (the "s...

I've been trying to archive stuff that isn't as readily available at the usual stock sites. I'm particularly emphasizing astral projection material at the moment.

She took advantage of someone clealry in a desperate position for her own profit, exloited powerful emotions and a practice we all have a passion for. This man was stupid to go for this in the first place, granted, but his reaction is more than reasonable and justified. I don't feel sympathy for the...

Re: Burning a Demons (Goetia) sigil?
That was a great response but I think his/her first question was a little more simple, I think they're just asking if it might be considered disrespectful (by the demon) to burn their sigil, or if he shouldn't have to worry about this.

The problem of intuition
This is an issue I've been considering a lot lately. I was reading the Beginners board, and one recommendation was to always trust your intuition and gut instinct, and that if something doesn't feel right then it probably isn't. This is something I agree with, of course, when working with psychic en...

Well its just about how much strain you're putting on the universe.

Re: Candle holder breaks while hexing?
A candle holder breaking is usually a sign that perhaps the goal of the working was not justified. In other experiences a candle that burns extremely small may also mean the same or that you were not as specific as needed, while a particularly high burning flame shows much force being utilized. i'd...

Re: Forgetting sigila
As far as I'm concerned you should be now acting in a way as though the result is already set to happen. All you have to "forget" about is the magic/sigil/ritual part. Obsessing over the result, subconsciously questioning whether or not the magic will work, is what will cause problems. You...

I've complained in the past that often when I astral project, I have difficult seeing and moving properly.

Re: How to do sigil magick properly
One thing that was touched on by another user was that magick needs a means of manifestation to work (for me, in my world, at least). A spell to transform into a dog won't work - humans don't transform into dogs. There needs to be a means of manifestation and on that note, one thing that I've realis...

Absolutely, and its an easy paradigm to slip into chaos wise because I half-believe it. On other days I'm more convinced - but that write-up isn't the best I've read of it.

Isn't that why a lot of us got into magick?

It went from this ...
