Re: The Hoodoo Truth by Doc Conjure
Wrote a huge response and it disappeared :( tldlr: i agree with both of you, and was just emphasizing balance. If you are unwilling to accept/learn the system from the context of its origins then you have no business learning it (opinion). there is almost two "hoodoos" (when we talk about ...

Re: The Hoodoo Truth by Doc Conjure
Great post with many great points. I particularly like the end where you mention that it isn't very "practical" work to read. I agree, and Hyatt makes similar mistakes of all the other "anthrophologists" of the time, even if they meant well. It is a good source of a sort of lore ...

Re: I feel so angry about the story of Medusa
You are right. There are countless mythological stories that paints the strong, (sexually) independent, warrior woman (for example) in a negative light. It gives you some great insight into the thought patterns of mankind during those times. Medusa is a great character and there is no reason why you...

Re: Need help brainstorming
I would just do three separate rituals. By mixing them you have the possibility of canceling each other out or something. You would also want to find a good time where all three planets are in good positions and positively aspected with each other (a lot of effort). If you really wanted to use multi...

Re: Kali & Flying
Flying for me has been a useful baseline for dreams. The control of flight directly relates to my lucidity level. You should use your habits to your advantage. During your waking day, try to fly and you will fail. Reinforce with the thought I guess I'm awake! If you do this enough your flying habit ...

Re: Commentary on Matthew 4
Everything you said. I don't think this passage has anything to do with ketoacidosis, hallucinating, or summoning the devil.

Re: Ritual of my own formulation
No. I think you understand what banishing is. Some systems are very adamant about a "formal" banishing before ANY magical ceremony. others regard this as an offense (usually more "spirit" driven systems). Some classify banishing/invoking as relative to the actual spell being perf...

As much as many would lead you to believe, magic is not "black and white". You asked, If I write on the paper without doing any banishment does it not do anything? Does burning it handle that? I would like to ask you why do you think it would do nothing without banishing? "Banishing&q...

Now you are mixing hermeticism with gnosticism. They are very much related, overlap, and influenced one another. Not only according to my own ideas about both systems, but Wikipedia, a source you have also copy/pasted in regards to questions related to Gnosticism. I also don't see where OP's ideas ...

If you have a question related to this book I suggest just posting it instead - the point of the book is that you don't need a teacher, most of it needs to be worked out on your own. In this sense it would be better for you to start a conversation and get everyone's feedback and then come to your ow...

There is a big difference between the "material" in NAP and the sensationalist publishing techniques of the 60s/70s. The author hates those sections as much as you do, and was basically forced to write them. Funny thing is, is that it's easy to be skeptical about them but for a new practit...
