I've been looking at this book Six Ways by Aidan Wachter, for awhile. It has lots of good reviews on amazon, but anyone read this book and have some opinions? Likely going to get a copy after i finish my current book.

Six Ways
Re: Six Ways
Just got my copy and started reading.
First few things i noticed: Its relatively short (120+ pgs), but is jam packed with info. Each chapter is short at about 2-5 pages, but is stuffed with as much useful knowledge as possible. Additionally, it is a book on sorcery that is animistic in flavor. Animism is usually hovering in the background with most magick books, but not thoroughly explained. He takes the time to outline this approach and talks about developing active relations with the spirit based ecosystem that we exist within....which he refers to as "the field" (totality of reality).
That's all for now. I'm about a quarter done. Will comment again later.

Re: Six Ways
This is my final review of Six Ways by Aidan Wachter.
I’ve read quite a few books on magick and I don’t think i’ve read a text that was definitively better than Six Ways. Although the book is short (+100), there is not a single chapter of fluff in the entire work. The book is DENSE with Gnosis and Practical Sorcerous Tech. If your a beginner, it is an excellent place to start…..and if your Intermediate or Advance….this book will still have excellent info. The dude has done the work….over a process of many years….and it shines through in the book.
Six Ways is so dense with info…that it may be one of the few occult texts that I have to go back and read several times, because I couldn’t scrape it all up on the first go round.
The overall current of the book, is a mix off Chaos magick, Animism and Witchcraft (forest vibes). If any of those things appeal to you...I Highly Recommend this text. Note, this is not an endorsement of any off his sequel texts, as I have only read Six Ways. The suggested reading section is also excellent. He also has many podcast interviews in his site that I still have yet to spool through. Link below.

Re: Six Ways
In traditional western spiritual science, the local ecosystem is based on the many hierarchies of elementals, nature spirits (the army of the voice), greater devas (that use voice and sometimes intent), and Logoi of various types. There are also many Soul/Neshama-bearing species within and beyond the planet that like to direct/modify or fiddle with cosmic ecosystems/species.
Then there are hierarchies not usually in contact with humans ...... etc
Can an intelligent ecosystem keep track of defective actions by its inmates? Would that be karma?
The magus is wise: knowing to observe the layers of players and intents before sticking his/her foot in it
Yesterday, speaking to a friend when she commented on an itchiness on her hand.
I told her to visualize her brother next to the hand, and she could see he was connected - sending disturbing energy.
But why? So there was a dark energy cloud/elemental on his lower back, and it was hard for her to move it as he rather liked it.
I pointed out a dark patch in his heart that was connected to the dark elemental. The dark heart substance was connected to some intelligences outside the planet and he rather liked them, so was not going to let go of them.
So I suggested to his sister that she generate some energies cancel the dark energy in his heart. She used 3 types and the dark energy was gone.
Immediately her hand stopped itching.
Note that the above process did not deal with the ultimate cause but broke the linkage to her. The brothers dark friends are regrouping to capture his heart again - if he lets them. Some humans like the importance of being captured.
Re: Six Ways
In the past....many "reality models" have been used.....some more useful than others. As for the actual reality or "truth" of the nature of existence.....were all looking through a glass darkly. Gnosis never stops.

Experiments can test reality models

Re: Six Ways
A coyote post from another forum. Thought it good timing to import here:
-----------------------------------
The year 2020 was a space where many illusions regarding how society runs fell away.....with apocalyptic intensity. Flaws in political, economic and agricultural systems were revealed. We learned a great deal of how depraved and psychopathic those whom occupy seats of "influence" in our society are and that there is an enormous amount of corruption in the system that needs to be pushed out like a big turd, giving society constipation.
In that vain, i recommend Gordon White's Chaos Protocols. He talks about corruption and how in order to get your way in this world, where the odds of success are stacked against your "elevation"...you need to apply all tools at your disposal to claim your rightful level authority over this little piece of existence you possess.
A particular excerpt that i found fun.
Self Initiation
"You may consider a self-initiation ritual to be a safer choice than a ritual psychedelic experience. You would be wrong. Fallout from becoming invincible is impossible to predict. Even if you are in the snake and piranha infested Amazon, at least you are in safe hands of an experienced shaman.
Boiled down to its essence, a self-initiation is a declaration to the universe that you have a seat st the table, that your Highest is united with your Lowest, and you expect the cosmic croupier to deal you in. It is a fundamentally radical act, a transgressive move. It runs counter to almost two thousand years of social, economic, and religious diktat. There is a lot to burn through, which is why you must persist in your transgression until the volume of High Strangeness in your life is so extreme that it cannot be interpreted as anything other than contact."
