>>39227883Avoid chasing phantoms. Good list otherwise!
>>39227883>The Kybalion is the first bookThe ultimate list for becoming an exoteric new-age retard.
>>39227883where is the pic from? which chan is that
>>392290938-chan fringe, I miss it
>>39229111thanks for answering anon. will be checking that borad. desu, i dont agree with that Atkinson works. Better just read the Corpus Hermeticum instead. as for Franz Bardon, he's good for low magick, but his systems literally take decades to master. its a life time of dedication. initiation into hermetics isn't a casual book you finish. for the rest, they're quite new-agy. desuWhat are you looking for? the word "occult" is quite a vague and broad term.
>>39229122>will be checking that boradyou can't, it got taken down by the government
>>39228560This. Any book after the 1850s is more than likely a fed project in order to bring in and usher this new spiritualist "golden" age. Books like the law of one and the kybalion are the foundations for this new world order and they are basteredize the original hermetic teachings to fit thier agenda mixing lies with truth. Any one who's claimed to channel info is a LIAR.
>>39227883with Bardon it's easy to fall into the trap of being too strict with yourself, resulting in long periods of no noticable progress, thus loosing the drive to practiceI am a big fan of ceremonial magic. When done correctly it can serve as a powerful self-transformation tool. If you want to get to know this tradition, anything by John Michael Greer will get you going, but I especially recommend Circles of Power. Not only does he lay a superb theoretical introduction, but gives you basically all the tools you need to start the practice and continue for years at your leisureIf you want to understand what is the end goal and why even bother, I recommend some psychology books that deal with this subject from a psychological standpoint, thus making it easier to digest for modern readersRoberto Assiagioli - PsychosynthesisRobert Anton Wilson - Quantum PsychologyPiero Ferrucci - What we may beAbraham Maslow - Towards a psychology of being
>>39229122Atkinson is basically 'hermeticism for dummies'. The only useful things I got out of his books was that I figured out how to take drugs without getting addicted and also improve on skills without losing motivation (Spiral up instead of cycle in habits).Push and pullUp and downRise and fallAction and reactionPolar oppositesOnly two genders
>>39227883>not vibrating negative frequencies 24/7how lol
>>39228560>>39229616And what the fuck am I supposed to read them? Zohar?
>>39231923Responses like those never explain themselves or offer any other alternatives. Its nothing but chatter.
>>39227883Kybalion is pure New Age shit created by a guy watering down hermetics in the XIX centuryFor serious magiks pic related
>>39227883Anyone who calls Crowley "cryptic stuff" and recommends The Kybalion is a retard.The best in his list is the stuff he says not to fuck around with, like Robert Anton Wilson, Chaos Magick, Crowley, LHP, etc. That's the real shit. Glowie tier post this picture you put up there OP.
