Resetting your tarot deck
How often do you do it? I've been resetting/reordering (as in put them all back into the order they come in) after ever reading but feel this is wasting time, I might start doing it once a month or something.

Thought that just came to me about chaos magick
Just a little musing I had, what do you think of this? Part of the reason why chaos magick works is because when you're putting a desire/intention into your subconscious mind means you're moving towards it EVERY DAY. Infact, every minute of every hour of every day. Its there. Its going to happen. Yo...

Re: Beginner Tarot Decks
I started with Rider Waite too and grew attatched to the major arcana very quickly. I owned a Marseilles deck a while before I was really a practicing occultist, but its imagery didn't inspire me much.

Re: Ouija Boards and other Divination Boards (Questions & Di
Owned this ouija board for a while and just used it seriously for the first time. Performed the LBRP then sat down and loosened up a bit by sliding the pointer around a little whilst getting into the right mindframe. I'm semi-skeptical about ouija and it really interferes, i just pushed down and let...

Re: When did you get into the occult?
I met a girl online when I was 13 who told me she was a witch. This is the first time I heard of real magic. She showed me the site http://www.spellsandmagic.com (which is now very different from how it was around 2002) and I became rather obsessed with astral projection. Practiced quite a bit durin...

Re: Satan is a Christian myth?
Well, they are the group most largely known as Satanist, most other groups (as far as I'm aware) distance themselves because they don't want to be confused with Lavey's church. Like the Temple of Set developed from Lavey's church but they went with the more primordial name for the same for, Set. The...

Re: Satan is a Christian myth?
No it was correct. Satanists are atheists and see Satan as a symbol. Some "devil worship" groups also call themselves Satanists just to confuse things, but if the book is referring specifically to LaVey's Church of Satan then its correct.

Spells for controlling a bad habit
Just as an example (I don't like giving out my real intent until I've already worked my magick, the less people that know I'm performing it the better) say for instance you drink quite a lot of alcohol, say you used to just drink on the weekends but then it crept into the week and you find yourself ...

How important is sexual energy?

In short, if I masturbate in the morning before I get up and start my day, will this significantly affect my energy levels? Coming fr...

Re: How to do sigil magick properly
Its foolish to be dabbling in things you've done zero research on. If you've never even glanced through Liber Null, Practical Sigil Magic etc. is like trying to rewire an electrical circuit with no prior knowledge as to what all the parts do or how to properly protect yourself. As for your first sig...

Re: Why The Joy of Satan website is popular!
That girl on youtube, venussatanas or whatever, is a complete charlton. I checked out one of her old videos out of curiosity (related videos and what not) and it was very obvious to me that she was reciting things she'd learned herself very recently. She was rewording, not speaking from experience.

Re: Meaning of my Tarot Reading---Universal Tarot deck
I don't want to stamp on what anyone else has said, but I'd argue that you need a good understanding/relationship with the cards to perform an accurate reading. Your relationship with the tarot is personal. Other people can't interpret a spread you've done. This is of course my opinion on the nature...

Re: Are you secretive? Why should the occult be "occult?"
My main reason is that I don't want another person's skepticism to be a factor. Treat magick like science and keep variables under control.

You have to wade through a lot of crappiness when looking for astrology books, lots of day-do-day prediction type ones, I'm looking for some good in-depth books about astrology and the nature of the zodiac. Any recommendations appreciated.

The pentagram is the easiest star to draw in one stroke, only takes five lines, so its likely it originated organically in different places.

Re: Building FAQ Pt. 1: Ask your questions.
Initiates invoke as they yet do not understand that all comes from within. Adepts only evoke as they know all comes from within. Here is a little trick to find out if a person is adept or not. If he uses the word invoke, then he has not realized that all comes from within and is thus an Initiate. I...
