Hello all, long time lurker here, Would like to know what is the best starting point for magic. Which books do I read to even begin to grasp the concept of magic. How do I practice magic.
>>41526923>Would like to know what is the best starting point for magic.Tapas.Austerity, self-control, and regulation.
>>41526923Youre asking quite possibly the vaguest question ever. There are many forms of "magicks", all requiring different techniques.>>41527021Ignore Tapas, Tulpas, or anything of the sort. Everything else is good.Visualization, dedication, and focus are the three main keys. My answer is as vague as your question. I have spoken.
>>41527057What are the different practices of Magick?
>>41527057>Ignore Tapas>Everything else is good.You dont know what tapas means. Why bother commenting about it?
>>41527067Countless. Think "fire, water, blood, spirit" etc.
>>41527087Because what you're talking about is spirit based, Well it could be considered a form of magic it's more akin to divinitation or clerical magicks.
>>41526923>Would like to know what is the best starting point for magicHold it right there.WHAT do YOU want to achieve.
>>41527087>You dont know what tapas means.Fuck yeah, beer and tapas
>>41527096No. Magic is of this material realm, not spiritual.>>41527102Proving the point that you are not worth considering.Tapas = austerity, self-control, and regulation. you know, all the things you said are alright.
>>41527109I assure you these are called tapas.Hmm, tapas :DDD(Btw, I have a lhp cheevo and you're not worth licking my diarrhea)
>>41527109Listen, nigger, the guy came here wanting to know how to get started with magick.He never mentioned hinduism, spiritual growth or the right hand path.
>>41527109Your bolshevism does not impress me. You are clearly inadequately prepared to answer this question.Tapas, in the Gnostic realm, refers to the building of spiritual pressure through practices which are used by not only religions, but Magic users. While it is true you can use spirit in certain forms of magic, I do not believe that is what this individual is looking for.>>41526923Another Anon did bring up a good point. What exactly are you trying to achieve?
>>41526923Key elements:Low magick: Getting shit doneHigh magick: Spiritually orientedNow, left hand path (Becoming god)Right hand path (Kissing arses and never getting shit).What else, op?
>>41527097I want to help the world. I want to unlock my true potential.
>>41527167Lie detected
>>41527172No, for real. You wanna screw ladies or something in the rear?
>>41527174I already have a Lady.
>>41527176Ok? And?If you say you're light, I'm vanishing as I am darkness
>>41527180why can't we both be light?
>>41527182No, see, in my path you accept your darkness.We don't like being imbalanced
>>41527184You think light and darkness are equal forces?
So like, you're trying to be all this turbospiritual dude, and you need to fuck, earn money and live in a very dark world.It's not gonna happen.>>41527189It's complicated, light doesn't really exist.Photons come from pitch blackness in a vacuum.
>>41527192I need very little money, And I don't need to fuck either.
>>41527199Then you're very dark, darkness needs no security, no saviours, she looks after herself.The light says, place your hope on me.
>>41526923You asked a rather difficult question. Magic exists in different styles, different schools. Even more, there kinds of magic are associated with languages.I tend to think that becoming an apprentice to a witch, magician, or sorcerer, and learning directly from him or her is the most convenient method. But learning through reading thematic books, practicing, and analyzing your actions and the consequences of your actions also has a right to life and be.
>>41527167Ironically enough, start with prayer. This serves many purposes.Learn about alchemical circles, materium, ether, and general gnosticism. Use every source, and find the common factors. Avoid the evil and self serving, while using darkness as a cloak.I have spoken.
>>41527215>self servingBecome this op, choose your own path and walk it.Be a miasma of Darkness that drowns the Earth.You say; I want to help, but maybe people don't deserve the help, and maybe there's no hope, so you must make your own hope.
>>41527227Checked. Can confirm that, solving the problem makes you a problem. You have a choice, and walking your own path is not damnation. You can be the hope, or a drain on it.
