>discovers [insert type] magic
>dies miserable in poverty

John Dee, Alister Crowley, Cornelius Agrippa, Eliphas Levi. The list is endless, why is this such a pattern with these "enlightened" individuals?

All of these guys have been huge influences throughout history and continue to appreciate over time

Maybe they were on to something

>Alister Crowley
He died from drugs.
>Agrippa
You can thank the Church.
>Eliphas Levi
He literally died of an illness.
>The list is endless
You don't have a list, just a bunch of stupid generalizations.

This isn't surprising, really, considering the story of Ezekiel and the bait for cooking food on human feces.

You cannot trust any death publicized over cultists like Dee or tertiary revivalists like Crowley.

It is in their modus operandi to fake certain initiates' deaths to remove them from all obligation to the human world, so that in their final years they may afford focus on higher matter and service.

introverted wealth complex

to invent magic you need to cloister yourself but to become wealthy off it you need to be a showman

they're all certainly the NFJ type but this would put them as a highly ambitious individual that can't finish projects for the sake of mere wealth
