Pathetic OP
There are people here who have a (minor) interest in ensuring /omg/ remains gone, keep that in mind please.
>>37815318Just make a Thelema thread bro
I haven't seen much mention of Danil Yates' new project, the Occult Library website. Interesting idea, collating information about all books and editions thereof released by various occult publishers. The forthcoming page here has a list of at least some titles that are in production: https://www.occultlibrary.org/forthcomingWorth a look, even if it's woefully misnamed.
>>37815514No worries. I'll always repost it occasionally, if only to keep the library circulating.>>37816266There's not much to say about it. Having a reference is all well and good, but I would think anyone mildly interested in hearing about a publisher's upcoming books would already be following that publisher directly without going through a third party site.
>>37815318Have any of you read, The Dragon Book of Essex? If so would using different boughs of wood that are local to your area work? The plants listed in the book aren't in my state
I have no money exact a couple of small coinsI want to go to the Laundromat I haven't been there in like 2 weeksI want some money that I could use to buy about a gallon of gasolinePlease pray for me to get lots of money soon and not EBT money or digital currency real cash in my hands very soonThank you in advance
>>37815318I'm for keeping OGM alive, and it should continue on despite its major contributor falling off the planet. It's useful, and that's good! Ignore the naysayers!
>>37817464I haven't read it yet. But rites can often have substitutions, as long as the replacement still brings the relevant elements/virtues to the rite. So it would depend on why they are calling for a specific type of wood. I recently needed some sprigs of yew and a local varietal worked fine instead of the specific one the rite called for.Budget and time permitting, you can also order a lot of that shit overseas from Etsy if it's absolutely essential for you to have a branch from the cornish dingleberry tree or whatever, but that should be a last resort. Using local stuff whenever possible is best.
>>37817547Yeah I checked the book and found a mention of adaptations under a list of the boughs. I'm just oddly called to this book for some reason
Stay-at-home Magus
this place doesn't deserve /omg/, kill it out of respect
>>37817706Good luck. CS stuff is really dense.You might like Hamilton-Giles' books if you're actually practicing the DBoE, since they're supposed to be tangentially related to it. And similarly dense.
>>37815318I’m reading liber null rn after skimming golden dawn and thelema, why did they change all the classical alchemy elements and make the tree of life so weird?Pain pleasure depression elation instead of fire/water/earth/air. Are they just tying it to these emotions?
>>37815318Redpill me on the sator squareAlso is the pele ring from enochian just a variation on the seal of Solomon from grimores?
>>37817464Yes.Yes.That is unlikely unless you're in a desert or tropical region.>>37817706>>37817833Black Dragon is a specifically telluric iteration; folks should really do DBoE first.
>>37817932sex obsessed wierdos
>>37818376One plant in specific is the Blackthorn which isn't in my state of Mississippi. I'm mostly just asking as I'm highly interested in DBoE but I doubt I can do it now
>>37817769Yeah right, some fucking faggot with no life and no actual practice will perpetually make these threads ))<>(( forever
>>37818428I bet there's blackthorn in Mississippi, you just have to look. It was often used as a hedge plant in the US especially where livestock were kept but its been labeled as a nuisance species in recent years, for obvious reasons.If you truly cannot find any, use honeylocust.
>>37818558Oh, I guess the map I found online was wrong, thank you anon
>>37818420I remember me
>>37818593you wanted an answer, sorry you dont like it
>>37818558not that anon, but it seems very scarce in NA. the only place I could find selling blackthorn -products- was somewhere in Canada, and they'd stopped doing it because their own supply had run out and they hadn't been able to source any more.
>>37818661I think he meant just find it in the wild
>>37818677That was what I was getting at, that it's scarce enough that even people trying to profit from it can't find much here. Blackthorn isn't native to north america (it's from yurop, where the cultus sabbati are)
>>37818798Honestly probably be better off just growing your own if you can.
>>37818940Yeah the seeds are cheap, I'll probably just have to wait a bit and just import seeds.
>>37818953Based ecoterrorist
>>37819386>ordoaa.org/studlist.htmthe fuck is this broken web page shit?
>>37818798The Cultus is based in California and has been for twenty years. Blackthorn grows all over the PNW, along highways and in parking lots. Some sprouted in my flyover country garden and I have no clue how it got there. It is aggressive and tenacious. Like I said, it’s targeted for removal because it has giant sharp spikes. You can find it all over, if you look hard enough. >>37818953Import? Hobby Seeds of Jacksonville FL sells them.
>>37819731>The Cultus is based in CaliforniaEntirely? They'd still have some kind of presence overseas, right? I was under the impression the inner bits worked in closed cells.Thanks for correcting me though
I want magick that just works
>>37819968ask todd howard
>>37817833>CS stuff is really dense.You have to live with your mum while being in your 30s to really grok it
So recently, I asked Lugus their thoughts on Judaism via divination.They responded favorably.Today, while watching this video:https://youtu.be/SZKkiE2e1wcI had a bit of a weird moment and had to pause it and immediately perform divination again, to ask Lugus their statement on usury and how I should relate to it.Lugus implies usury is natural and should be engaged with.Basically. The Romans were spot on in identifying them with Mercury. any thoughts?
Anyone use magic for sex?
>>37820819Use sex for magic for sex
Suppose you catch a gigafaggot filching loosh left and right from everyone, for his own personal use. What do?And I mean, you, me, gubmint, enterprise, no one is safe for his lecherous larceny
>>37822090If you believe in loosh unironically you are definitely mentally ill and can be safely be ignored because you are not the dangerous kind of retard.
>>37815514Stop grasping, this is an embarrassment.>>37816266You haven't seen anything about that here yet because this is not a thread about the Occult or books anymore and hasn't been for over a year.
>>37817537>OGMplease go start that thread then and let this one stay dead.
>>37818376>Black Dragon is a specifically telluric iteration; Yes>folks should really do DBoE first.No, not really, they are fundamentally related in some ways sure but not at all dependent on each other. PHG says this in the introductions. Also you can't really into Black Dragon just yet since the required ritual text for its beginning is still unpublished/incomplete.
>>37818677>>37818798They are profiting from the surge of teen ticktok witches being unable or unwilling to walk into the woods and gather materia themselves, which within the act of doing is often half of the actual thing. It is rare, but not unavailable, it just will take some searching and getting to know the plants and your environment in your area, which, again, most are unwilling to actually undertake. Ordeal of overcoming matters. Ordering it is fully ineffectual, pretty much filtering yourself from any real contact and anything beyond proof of being another consoomer and not able to do any witchcraft. 100% better off with a local substitute. Honeylocust, not at all rare, has already been suggested. Maybe try look at WHY you are using Blackthorne rather than making a shopping list.
>>37822692Well good luck with some of the theology without spending significant time with HU, SA, and HUA, especially HUA.
>>37819868The "Cultus" itself is a now a hipster marketing operation and that is all it is. There are other things out there that don't need a name and a publishing company that tries to sure other practitioners and an enormous mortgage for a mansion in California though.
>>37821045Ouroboros do be like that
>>37822723> Ordering it is fully ineffectual, pretty much filtering yourself from any real contact and anything beyond proof of being another consoomer and not able to do any witchcraft. This is abjectly false. You’re not barred from anything just because your environment isn’t conducive to this or that species. While one should, for example, sun in ocotillo or similar if in the desert it doesn’t preclude you from getting some blackthorn to experiment with. If we want to get into the why and wherefore of blackthorn not just historically but theologically we can but it, imho, gets into the specifics of the UK seasonal cycles which may not be applicable at all to your specific locations. The point is that folks should not just get familiar with their locations but also some of broad applicability of things as a cross correspondence and cross biome exercise. Nobody on earth is going to have immediate access to everything in the Viridarium, it works 360 individual species (yes the number matters) and you absolutely will have to order some of it.
>>37822732It's okay if you haven't actually read it. And, as noted, it is yet to be completed. But is stands on its own feet, as it is designed to, it's not the DBoE DLC.
>>37822773>UK seasonal cycles which may not be applicable at all to your specific locations.EXACTLY
>>37822737Pls don’t troll here with information you picked up from There. Are the guy’s antics questionable? Yes. Do you need to larp as Sarah Lawless to get your sensible chuckle of the day about it here? Surely not.
>>37822773I'm saying if you think that ordering it off the internet, even if it the actual deal, which is not at all guaranteed or even very likely for some of this stuff, or applicable to your local biome and spiritual ecology, fulfills what is being asked of you in the work then you have not understood the assignment.
>>37822777I have the books mate, I know what you and moreover I am talking about. My opinions are my own and I think folks get the best mileage from understanding WHY you’re doing things in HU and HUA. It’s a DB dlc, meaning you should ideally have gotten into something that approximates endgame DB to fully enjoy it. Just because you can do Lonesome Road at level 1 doesn’t inherently mean it’s a good idea.
Ipsissimus yet?
>>37817464Yes, you can use local replacements. Do your best to meet the requirements, but your first year is never going to be perfect. Order what you have to.>>37822815That's too simplistic. Having the internet is never an excuse to take the easier option, but what is being asked of you in the work far exceeds getting all the props.
Ape never left
>>37824267Folks also forget this is a four person system, and there'd be a division of labor in the preparation of the rites. People need to make provisions for being the sole person responsible for everything if running it solo, especially without a mentor.
>>37815318I need some help, and I decided to come here to ask my fellow anons for advice. I've falling into "the Dark Night of the Soul" and... it is terrifying me. My thoughts are just going to this pervasive fear that in death we're just going to be trapped in an eternal isolated dream where nothing is real. It feels silly to say that outloud, but my brain just can't stop dwelling on this fear of being disconnected from others and a sheer terror of becoming truly isolated and alone in death. I think I'd rather accept oblivion over that, but it terrifies me to imagine that I'll just be trapped in some isolated room in my head and be divorced from the rest of the world.
>>37826953>in death we're just going to be trapped in an eternal isolated dream where nothing is realHello my friend, how do you like the dream you're having? You are indeed already dead, this is it, your afterlife. Better get going...
>>37827013Hey man, it's rude to tell dream people they're dreaming
>>37827105My bad gang
>>37826953>maybe the extremely confined and narrow definitions I've set up for myself as the greatest maximum extent of conception across all possible worlds aren't as universal and rational as they seem>HELP MEEEEE MY SANITY IS MELTIIIING AND MY NEW AGE FEEL GOOD ETERNALISM ISN'T BUILT TO HANDLE NORMAL HUMAN EMOTIONS LIKE FEAR OR DREAD REGARDING OBJECTIVE UNCERTAINTIES LIKE DEATH ID RATHER BE DEAD THAN FEEL FEELINGS ABOUT DEATHGrow up. Stop reading meme content. Stop building metaphysics from Poastes on imageboards and infographics. You are alive, which entails that sometime, sooner or later, you're going to die, and it will probably hurt. Just because we live in a culture that does everything in its power to elide this fact, doesn't mean we have to cave in to nihilism, terror, and denial. Expand your horizons, which doesn't mean "more denial". Get well read on the ancient and cross cultural wisdom regarding death. You will have to take that journey alone, but you don't have to prepare alone, and schizoposting on his, x, lit, or any other board, doesn't count as prep. Good luck.
>>37822386Nice loosh, I'm taking it
>>37828803Have at it larper, there's plenty more pretend power you can somehow harvest from online interactions where that came from!
>>37827105Ok archon
>>37815318>Christian blood "magic">sin sacrifice
>>37829021Patience, grasshopper. Wisdom will come with age. Gonna gank that loosh for now though, thanks.
>>37815318I hate occultism and all the retards who believe their little magical "curses" have any power
Does anyone know how to explain what Arabic magic is? Where should I start?

I want to contact spirits cause its cool and just to be better at magick at shit but I dont have a real reason to contact them.What should I evoke them for?Never invoked spirits before contemplating the Arbatel apparently theyre chill.
>>37839203Seems like a bit of an insulting reason to contact a spirit
>>37817464Looks like fanfic desu
>>37826607Bitter tears are the best
>>37842023Of what, and what makes you draw that conclusion? Give us more than four words of critique for this 800+ page volume.
>>37839203You're probably surrounded by spirits right now, I think.
>>37840440Ik that's why I want a reason.Sure they might be able to tell my emotionsand shit but I can still not waste their time with whatever I called them up for>>37843622Isnt everybody surrounded technically?
>>37843739>Isnt everybody surrounded technically?Probably not everyone but if your thoughts are in language then you probably have at least one voice near you
>>37819662Yeah the golden dawn reading list is broken, OP.
>>37822822Can yall explain to a novice what this is about?
>>37819662>>37844581use archive.org or read the Initiatory Structure of the A∴A∴ which also contains a (less complete) reading list. If you read ABA, iirc, Crowley gives basically the same reading list. > The Equinox (From No. I to the current number)> Raja Yoga (by Swami Vivekananda)> The Shiva Sanhita, or The Hathayoga Pradipika> Konx Om Pax (by Aleister Crowley)> The Spiritual Guide (by Miguel de Molinos)> 777 (by Aleister Crowley)> Dogme et Rituel de la Haute Magie (by Eliphas Levi; alternately, its translation by A.

>>37835185based. fuck fascists and nazis. virtually all occultists/witches etc. are all inherently fascist or at least inherently fascist-adjacent. yes i know it seems obsurd but let me ask if this wasn't the case why do you think transphobia and racism are such a problem in these spaces? which are meant to be safe to marginalized queer and black/brown folx? Nazi chuds, just going around oppressing "lesser people" even without even knowing it.
I've made a good number of sigils in the last couple of months and none of them have worked. I've tried different methods of charging. Am I just a fucking NPC? I don't wanna use the jobus applicatus spell, I wanna do spooky cool shit with astrology hoes and spirits :(

Are there any books that go over how lots of major historical figures studied or believed in the occult or esoteric?

>>37847241Show one (1) source on vril that predates The Coming Race.
>>37815318I was rewatching Supernatural season 2 and there was one episode where they were at a crossroads and found some yarrow flowers. Sam mentions they're used in summoning rituals. Is there anything in the old literature about this? Or is it total Holly wood fluff?
Where is the Jesus based magic?Most things I find seem to be Jewish and based on angels, wouldn't it be more convenient to work with the Messiah directly instead?
>>37847595There's a bit in the PGM. Other than that ask /ceg/; just don't mention the PGM or they'll moan about it being heresy
>>37847621Sorry what does PGM means?
>>37847629Pretty Gay Male
>>37847595Jesus was a Jew. Angels are also a part of Jesus-anity. If you have a problems with those and just want to "work with the Messiah directly instead", maybe just skip the magic and be a plain ole Jesus-ian.

Are Hindu tantras as gated as Buddhist tantras? Like, if I study or adapt from something like the Netra Tantra or Yoni Tantra are there bhairavas that will fuck me up?
>>37850332Guru dicksuckers will say yes.
Are there any uncrossing methods you guys recommend? I feel cursed at the moment.
>>3785073213 day uncrossing bath routine. Psalms 37 and/or 51. Get up before sunrise. Do the thing. Get rid of some bath water at the crossroads. Pray to God to take away all your crossed conditions. Throw in some Lord's Prayer, Hail Mary and Prayer to Saint Michael before and after your bath.
>>37850751Throw in some hyssop in the bath water if you want to go with the "purge me with hyssop and I shall be clean", if you want. Some people incorporate candle work into this. Like, walking through 2 lit candles when walking into the bath, and then blowing them out when walking out. There's all kinds of ways people add extra bits to this, but the key parts are the psalms, the bath, and throwing out the water at a crossroads.
>>37836828That' quite a wide topic ranging from planetary magic, to jinn evocation, to magic squares, to Islamic ruqya. And while there's aspects of Arabic magic that aren't Islamic, the Arabs have been Muslim for long enough that you'd find Quranic verses in use for quite a lot of stuff alongside bits of Jewish godnames and "asma suryani". This would go a lot easier if you're already (somewhat) Muslim and can read and write Arabic for charms and talismans, etc.
