As for doctrine itself, it is far more elaborate than simple table-turning and light effects: "God is the Supreme Intelligence-First Cause of all things." "God is eternal, immutable, immaterial, unique, all powerful, sovereignly just and good." "A spirit is not an abstract, ...

So therefore, I see spiritism as a great big opportunity for invasive beings to prey on naive people. Your understanding of spiritism is precarious, at best. Communicating with spirits is only one part of the doctrine, the practical side. Allan Karcec found that by investigating mediums, and compil...

I mean there are millions of things going on on this earth that I have not experienced or can't recreate. I for one can't jump 9 meters, but some can.[ It is, to be honest, but I've spend years toying with it, researching it, experimenting with it, I became very good at it. And my attitude change t...

Spiritism seems superficial, mostly for amusement, something to spook your friends with. Occultism implies more serious work. I can see how someone would not respect spiritism. I don't really respect it myself. You have never read Allan Kardec? He has made spiritism almost a science. It was as you ...

As we know, spiritualists of the 20th century belonged to the elite, the higher classes that attempted to communicate with the dead through mediums, automatic writing ect. while most occultists tended to be poor and unemployed. But why was there a rivalry? Was Eliphas Levi right to be highly critica...

It just seems to be a fact that most occultist, famous or not, lean towards meager income or downright poverty. Why?

Can they not conjure up money? Become rich?

I guess I'll share. I dropped out of highschool when I was 16, in the beginning of the second half of my freshman year. I originally dropped out because I was a piece of shit rebel kid who couldn't stand rules, to speak the reality of what so many people here have sugarcoated in their posts. As I m...

We all have different opinions and approaches to the Occult. Some make more sense than others, at least to me. There's nothing really to ''roast'', I am here to discuss and learn from people interested in these things and if we can't seem to agree than that's fine.

Why would Christians work with the Goetia? Any form of sorcery, divination, or magick in Christianity is punishable by hellfire. If they are willingly working with such types of entities, they must be a lodge or something disguising themselves as Christians. Either that or they're just seriously co...

This is one example where keeping a low profile on one's occult and witchcraft practices would have been beneficial, especially if one is working in an 'hostile environment' with people who are not open, or very much against these things. You probably shouldn't have revealed yourself as a witch. Tha...

Tibetan Book of the Dead and Life After Life by Raymond Moody just came in the mail:) I was at a secondhand book sale a few months ago and there was like 5 copies of Life After Life by Raymond Moody available. That book is litterally everywhere on the web, in used bookstores ect and pretty much eve...

Some atheist will tell you that you can't be both atheist and deal with any form of superstition, religion, magic or such. Lavey clearly states that you have to believe in magic for it to work. They also have ceremonies like a church and other elements of religion. That's probably because most athe...

The lack of displicine has been a problem for me in the last year or so. I am getting a lot from my occult studies by reading books, but when it comes to dedicate a specific period of time for actual, concrete practice; it can be hard to avoid all the distractions that modern society brings with it....

Although, obtaining godhood is the hardest path, not anyone can get it..... Or can anyone get it? Let's say your existence as of now, is only you. In the begining you were alone, in the end you will be alone.... Or will you? In a way, you can say, you are already a god in a sense that you can contr...

There was a time when the scientific pursuit was embedded in occult studies. Look up Isaac Newton. There are quite a few scientists who are well-versed in esoteric/occult teachings and you can find many names today if you look on the margin of the mainstream community. It comes down to whether or no...

It is nice and cozy here, better not bring deep web. It corrupts. I agree with you. I am just saying that there probably exists underground places out there on the web to discuss these kind of things, not that I'm interested in them myself. Public web spaces like Occult forum are not intended, nor ...

Digging up bodyparts and selling them are not illegal in all countries so it's always a grayzone to talk about and share information about the subject on the internet. Body-snatching and abuse of a corpse is illegal in most places*, let alone the offenses of trespassing in cemeteries and digging up...

Depend what you means by the Gods. A metaphor for the diversity of Nature or powerful Beings ruling over the Universe?

Have you actually read the work Chowderpope is referring to? Because it would be considered virulently racist and anti-Semitic even in early 20th-century New England, especially since he also lived in New York City (which was a hub of immigration and social progressivism at the time). At the very l...

This is commonly attributed to the popular opinion at the time , but it doesn't excuse it for me. What he wrote was truly hurtful, and has tarnished his entire body of work for me. Because it's an aspect to consider. This doesn't justify of excuse anything he said but I try to place him and his vie...

I agree with Nahemah. There are already plenty of forums out there dealing with paranormal phenomena and believers Vs skeptics while there is very few serious places concerned with discussing the practice of occultism. That's why I registered here in the first place. Phenix20 is on 2 other paranorma...

I really have to disagree with that. I'm very confident about my capacity to defend myself against an armed man in a dark ally, but that doesn't make the fear disappear when the moment actually happens. I make a distinction between the instinct of self-preservation and a possible release of adrenal...

Fear disappears when you are confident in what you are doing. So confidence is key here. If you are concerned with evil entities and things or that nature I would suggest focusing on psychic protection. Learn how to put up a shield so that you feel safe in your practice. I personally recommend Dion ...
