And yeah the issue of transferring what we consider "morality" in a classical Western context into a Daoist context seems like a tricky one, especially because "Daoism" is such a diverse umbrella title (Daoist philosophy? Daoist religion? Internal cultivation based on Daoist cos...

My gut feeling is that that stronger connection would spill over into better results with readings, or at least with better interpretation (closer match between the symbols being used and your internal cosmology), but as I've said, I'm not an expert with divination. And of course if it's your first...

Ah, Jan Fries. His work is certainly interesting, but if you want to study Seidr you should also read these works: The Book of Seidr, by Runic John. Sedir: The Gate is Open, by Katie Gerrard. Nine Worlds of Seid-Magic, by Jenny Blain. The Return of the Völva: Recovering the Practice of Seiðr , Diana...

I appreciate your input on the matter. Ive already checked into bardon, levi, blavatsky, etc.. Although a handful of modern people have claimed to understand true magick. I dont think there has been any recorded history of them actually doing anything amazing, correct me if am wrong please. I'm not...

Psychically reading information from objects is called Psychometry. I don't know who this Frey you're reading is, or what he has to say of Seidr, but "Visual Magic" is a term used for the kind of Magick that we use Poppets/Voodoo Dolls for. Another term still is Sympathetic Magick, as I re...

There are many Oracles you can use besides the Tarot, and even at that, many versions of the Tarot. I've recently ordered the Wildwood Tarot, which should be arriving in the mail this week. I feel like the Mysteries in those cards should be more in line with my path than those of the conventional T...

To be specific, my breakdown occurred back in October. How long would you suggest I wait before I try your recommended methods? Until you and your therapist are absolutely certain that you are stable and healthy. You may also start with things like my Fundamental Development paper, or Franz Bardon'...

The Mysteries of Beast, Blood, and Bone , by Sarah Lawless. Besides the words that Sarah offers, and speaking as someone who works with animal spirits himself, I am for my own purposes quite certain that the "animal afterlife" is no different than the "human afterlife." However,...

What diferentiates probability and possibility on what you typed? Probability is what is more likely to happen. Possibility can happen, but is less likely. Like, I can participate in that hex against Trump, but the Most Probable outcome is that I won't . There are a lot of reasons for that, each th...

I can't think of a story that focuses on telepathy at the moment, but The Dead Zone is an excellent story of Psychometry.

There've been far worse politicians than Trump in the past. Who cursed them successfully? No one. Actually, The Great War that took place in the occult world during WW2 is an excellent example of Magical Warfare on that scale and an important part of Occult History too. The War for Britain especial...

http://www.godslaidbare.com/pantheons/norse/hertha.php http://hrafnar.org/articles/dpaxson/asynjur/holda/ Besides what the Hrafnar article says, I've also seen Habondia associated with Abundance and Prosperity, having authority over livestock and crops. Neither of these are folks I've worked with be...

I dont personally believe that any modern man has mastered, or even understands how to properly tap into this energy field Hah. You should be wary of strong personal beliefs. They do not always relate well to facts. You should at least read the work of Franz Bardon, because his training manual will...

While you're on Carnegie, you should also read Public Speaking. There's been a lot of versions of it and other authors attempting to rewrite it for modern university courses, but it's basically the book form of the original courses he taught on how to speak effectively to both individuals and audien...

The Order of the Golden and Rosy Cross, a German organization, is the earliest Rosicrusian group I know of besides the original movement. It was founded in the 1750's, so your Woodcutters is an earlier group even if the OGRC accepted women - but it's listed as a fraternity in all of the sources I ha...

Even a simple spell can pack a punch when a lot of people synchronize their power behind it. Maybe. I don't know, it needs to be synchronized, needs to have any "doubts" in its execution, needs strong intent, needs faith in it. If that's covered, it might work. Synchronization can have ma...

A binding isn't quite a curse, at least not how I learned to do it. It's more like tying someone up than properly hurting them, and the wording of this spell leans towards that as well. Even a simple spell can pack a punch when a lot of people synchronize their power behind it. That said, anyone con...

I was probably thinking in a horrible euro-centric way and thinking about western/European occultism. Hah. It would take me some time to dig through the archives and find a proper answer to who was "the first" female dominated occult society. I know that The Order of The Eastern Star was ...

Are you talking about Modern Occultism, or back further? Because the political and spiritual power of the priestesses of goddess cults goes all the way back to Sumer, and that's just recorded history.

It is the job of the Oracle to provide insight into the patterns and forces working upon a particular situation. It is the job of the Diviner to interpret that information and understand it. Sometimes that last bit is easy, and sometimes it's damn near impossible - it depends in part on the nature o...

The unique pattern of information that made up your existence is wiped clean, like running a big magnet over a computer to destroy what is on the hard drive. There is no more reincarnation. You are truly dead. But the unique pattern of information had not existed forever. So whatever caused it to e...

But they can be re-born or re-manifest, right? Even if not in their former glory. Depends on what is eaten. If it's just the astral body, of course the higher spirit can detach from that and reincarnate, just like usual. If the spirit itself is devoured or killed, then you are gone. The unique patt...

The short answer is yes.

Even gods and true immortals that have near infinite longevity can be killed. Not by you, perhaps, but there's always a bigger fish in the universe just waiting for a good meal. Immortality is not Invincibility.
