In the context that you're asking, no.

I think you're mixing up a few concepts. Fate is not the same thing as True Will, nor is the Will of the Self the same thing as the Will of God (Nuit, Macrocosm), technically speaking, even though the two are closely aligned. "Do what thou Wilt shall be the whole of The Law. Love is The Law, Lo...

1. Using magic of all four elements in combination to achieve effects that they can not do separately, but this is more appropriately called elemental magic. There is no rule there that you must only use one element at a time. The Western Elemental Key comes from Greek and other old systems of magi...

Honest answer: It depends. Many games and novels use real occult sources as inspiration, modifying ideas artistically for their purposes. So, some fiction can be traced back to very real roots. This can be hard, since artists tend to change things, so while root concepts may be real the fiction is u...

To define magical power, you have to define magic. So what is magic? The Art and Science of exploring the Natural Universe, and applying the knowledge gained towards the end of personal evolution and the benefit of mankind. So, what is magical power within that definition of magic? The Wisdom of kno...

Ah, but what if chaos is part of the order? [wink]

Demons of The Flesh is hardly a complete guide to sex magic, left hand or anything else. If you know how to dig through it there's some useful things, but don't take Nikolas and Zeena Schreck at face value. As for the quote, exactly what about it bothers you? I can tell you from experience that the ...

Bad parenting is bad parenting, it's not a side effect of open relationships. The "ripples" can cause issues, but that depends on how the central event was handled. There's a difference between stepping into the pool and doing a reckless cannon ball on the shallow end while it's full of pe...

Self-Realization is the achievement of the Microcosm being in complete harmony. All internal Forces are healthy and in balance, and the Spirit (Higher Self) has taken its proper seat in the Ego so that Consciousness is experienced directly instead of indirectly through Self-Awareness. Divine Harmony...

Franz Bardon and others all had a negative view of sex. Bardon was not sex negative. He had a wife and son, there are more than a few rumors about his connection to various Orders that practiced Sex Magic, and the work on the Electric and Magnetic Fluids is right in line with the mysteries of Pasch...

"Do what thou Wilt shall be the whole of the Law. Love is the Law, Love under Will." -- The Book of The Law. As a gentle reminder, Will refers to the mystic Will of the Higher Self or ones personal Spirit, and thus this passage is a reference to Self-Realization and not "do what you w...

If you turn your head to the left, it looks like a bird. If you turn your head to the right, it looks like a sigil, though it's a stylized sigil so I couldn't tell you what script it would be from. It's form reminds me of Bardonite spirit sigils, recorded via automatic writing. I doubt it's that, be...

I present you thee, Lady Khaos.

I could nit-pick at the translations on that page a bit, since there are some very specific metaphysical and natural things being expressed here. But meh, I'll leave such things to your own meditations.

It really does depend on your personal skill and experience. I know a magician that exercised an entire house just by sitting down and meditating for a couple of hours. The effects of the meditation alone were enough to banish everything nearby, because of the quality of his internal energy, aura, a...

Hi Rose. [happy2] Can you believe it's only been four years since I last stopped by here, and they had me on the spammer list? So easily forgotten. [razz]

This is a big thread and I commend you on your efforts in studying this phenomena. :) There are a couple of things I'd like to add. As for the Precognition itself it has two major characteristics: - visions are random, they happen at random and show random events - visions are different than dreams/...

I would make a wand or staff. Probably a wand, since I don't want a lot of staffs. The wand or staff (being the same thing, of different lengths) is, symbolically, an extension of Will. In Elemental Magic, this attribute belongs to Fire. So, a wand made out of wood that has been struck by lightning ...

Sorry to resurrect a dead thread, but would you suggest storing the runes in a box or in a bag? I'm currently cannibalizing an old glasses case. If you want to strengthen your connection to them and preserve the energy they become charged with, I would recommend wrapping them in a silk or cotton cl...
