Is the occult just watered down philosophies of historical guilds?
Shor answer, yesLong answer, yes, a grift by scammers to trick uncertain but trusting apes
>>41675571Parts of it are diluted carryovers from older mystery schools/guild traditions, but most modern "occult" content is a messy mix of syncretism, commercialization, and deliberate misdirection (i.e., disinfo).Here's the truth:https://www.reddit.com/r/Retconned/comments/1m0px7o/attention_at_least_one_rapture_has_already/TLDR:This planet is Bozrah, not Earth. What's more, you should be warning people about the upcoming "day of vengeance" here on Bozrah. Keep in mind, the 1,000-year Millennial Kingdom will take place on Earth, not on Bozrah. This planet will be destroyed (and Jesus will be the destroyer). It has no future.From the post:>And don't be deceived by the fact that the masses aren't talking about this info. In actuality, this info is the most important thing on the planet right now—by far. Nothing else even comes close.Also from the post:>And while I absolutely hate date-setting, if I were forced to give a window for when the day of vengeance will begin, I would say any time between September 1, 2026, and March 15, 2027. Note: This window is based on all of the available evidence, biblical and otherwise. Basically, the day of vengeance is supposed to be "well underway" by the time a deep freeze hits North America. Make of that what you will.
>>41675571Western occultism, yes, largely. At least until you go back to grimoires and books of secrets prior to the Golden Dawn.Even ignoring those, though, you can find a lot of shit that just comes out of folk magic. Superstitions and old wives' tales, practices of cunning folk and white witches.Let's face it, humans have always believed that there were ways to discern and affect the threads of fate. It's just a matter of how that changes by culture through geography and time.
