Why is occult symbolism so prevalent in today's culture

cause the devil is having more power in this world

They could be part of it. Like bottom of the totem pole type associates.

Because Thats all they have left to cling on to

It's more socially acceptable and it's interesting to people. Seems simple to me.

>>1135014
Peoples desperate need for identity. I guess they think that them having occult tattoos will encourage people to inquire about their life. They're just carbon copy of the next test with the same shit on their body IMO.

Just edge lords being edgelords. Don't think about it too much, they certainly didn't.

>>1135014
It's amusing to me because it gives legit occultists some nice cover out with the normies. What a time to be alive, our symbols are for each other to notice, not the populace. Now the signal to noise ratio is so high people are oblivious and its amazing.

I'm not an occultist, but doesn't it water down the brand if every obese gaylord that shops at Walmart has an occult tattoo or shirt?

It's a form of branding like what we people do to livestock, only we are the sheep.

>>1135014
because tattoos are just "look at me look at me" signals.
and everyone craves attention these days, that's about it.

>>1135029
That's the thing, it would be a miscategorization to call it a brand. Perhaps some symbols are around, but they never manage to capture any authenticity or particulars of meaning, so miscommunication is uncommon. The strangest thing might be to be asked what 'hip' place you got your jewelry or something along those lines, since something might look similar to what some idiot is wearing today. It's a trend which will pass just as it has before.

Because liberals love the "freedom of spirituality" but hate the "fascism of religion" (mostly christianity).

Its like a giant red flag that says "I want to have faith without the respect and discipline it usually demands"

>>1135031
It was more hidden or on the fringe in those days, now it's pretty customary to include in halftime Super Bowl spectacles.

>>1135014
It makes you look cultured and edgy.

>>1135014
They think it looks cool.

>>1135029
>>1135034
Also tattoo's visible in plain clothes are pretty much harambe in just about every occult society anyways.

>>1135014
Because today's culture is filled with retards reciting catchphrases like, "I'm not religious, I'm spiritual" to compensate for that they're spiritually dead and can't even conceptualize an existence where Friday into Sunday isn't spent in a cocaine-induced stupor.

>>1135040
This is a global thing these days, dont expect the fucking xhosa tribesmen or somaliland natives not to have internet and what not. The same thing is happening with orthodox as well.

Asians seem to have adapted well enough it appears, they just essentially modernised ancestor worship which is very common there, but for the rest its gonna be a strugle.

Also, who knows how many interesting traditions will be lost in the next 50 years - there are still a lot of ethnic-tribal languages in europe and africa which will be gone soon.

Do you honestly think that some trash airhead musicians who can't sing about anything other than relationships and parties are reading through dense books that are intentionally difficult to read and understand? Mostly all "occult" aesthetic is a half-assed ripoff of other half-assed ripoffs regurgitated far down the line from the original material.

You could compare it to modern generic high fantasy being based off of generic high fantasy that was based off of generic high fantasy x10 until you reach actual original works.

Because they normie idiots want to sell an image of enlightenment. Just like those Freemason normie subhumans. It's propaganda for idiots attempting to look deep.

WOW YOU ARE A DAMN FOOL
PART 1

About the Mark of the Beast

If it weren't a physical mark you need to get that person to speak "hail the antichrist and satan" EVERYTIME HE BUYS SOMETHING

Which means it must be a physical mark. "Worship the beast and receives his mark" NOT "receiving the mark BY worshiping the beast."

This means the mark is not spiritual because that spiritual act is denoted by "Worshiping the beast."
>So the first angel went and poured out his bowl on the earth, and harmful and painful sores came upon the people who bore the mark of the beast and worshiped its image.

The mark causes a severe allergic reaction. And physical corruption. The worship is spiritual corruption. They are separate.

>And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives mark on his forehead or on his hand, he also will drink the wine of God's wrath, poured full strength into the cup of his anger, and he will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever, and they have no rest, day or night, these worshipers of the beast and its image, and whoever receives the mark of its name.”

This verse says "receives". If you did received a mark, but not "receives it"any longer, then you are not cast into the fire. Because the condition is PRESENT TENSE not PAST, because you removed it
from yourself.
>Λαμβανει = Receives
Strong's G2983 for meaning and G5719 for tense.

See what Jesus Says on the matter.

PART 2

Sermon on the Mount
>If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body be thrown into hell. And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body go into hell.

>And if your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life crippled or lame than with two hands or two feet to be thrown into the eternal fire. And if your eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into the hell of fire.

This verse is about mystery cults in the ancient world, Deuteronomy also makes note of this, It is saying "I am owned by you". By cutting off the mark you are saying you renouncing your membership.

>You shall not make any cuts on your body for the dead or tattoo yourselves: I am the Lord.

Cuts were made in lamentation. Tattoos are forbidden because of cults exclusively.

Eleusinian mysteries the Most popular of all cults, and the one that inspired many others.
Foot - Eleusinian mysteries, and many other rituals have sacred "foot paths" they had to walk, usually to water. This means markings on the feet applied in many cults because many had sacred footpaths.

Halade Mystai - Means "To the sea initiates!" A necessary and "sacred" footpath for ritual bathing.
Eyes -Eye tattoos of the cornea have existed well over two thousand years.
Epoptês : "one who has seen," an initiate
Mystês which is the root of MYSTERY: "one who is [whose eyes are] closed," someone to be initiated

>"Blessed is he among earthbound men, who has been privileged to see the mysteries."
- Hymn to Demeter 480

PART 3

Christianity is centered around freeing people from the obligation to sin. Cults included.

>Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.

>So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

>The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
>because he has anointed me
>to proclaim good news to the poor.
>He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives
>and recovering of sight to the blind,
>to set at liberty those who are oppressed,
>to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor.”

PART 4

>Then I saw thrones, and on them were those to whom the authority to judge was committed. Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is the one who shares in the first resurrection! Over such the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and they will reign with him for a thousand years.

This paragraph above shows that those ONLY who did not receive the mark AND DIED during the tribulation will be a part of the 1st resurrection, and become priests in the temple and kings.
ANYONE who goes through the tribulation and survives without the mark presently will live a normal life.
People who take it on the forehead will be the most lunatic people, like people who do body augmentation putting horns on their head, also people who take it in the arm means "obligation" but in the forehead it means "belief". Also people can become saints by their head being CUT OFF for worshiping Jesus Christ.

So those who had the mark in their head can become resurrected if they become martyrs. It is the only way to remove that mark.

Something like this may be available during the tribulation or shortly afterwards because of people removing the mark of the beast. God gives mercy and love.

The final redpill is the Godpill. It's for you the only way to protect yourself against Islam indoctrination and marxist evilogy. Your believe in yourself can never compete with a real ideology. You alone are not strong enough to defend yourself against Islam and marxism. Christianity offers you a real strong believe, rather a way of living, able you to protect your friends, family and values. Your believe in yourself can waver. Believe in God is eternal. You can't kill or destroy a believe. Unless you kill all the believers. You as only believing in one person that is yourself, can easily be destroyed. You are just one, and we Christians are many but God is the greatest. Our fate keep us in place and keep us strong. And if one of us dies his believe will spread and it will strenghten our fates even further because he will go to God. It is that kind of dedication what is needed to protect and fight against the Islam and marxism, because they do the same. And you stand no chance against them or us Christians.

Because they feel a spiritual void . But no, they can't go to church, they need to ""convert"" to some poo religion or satanism(if they are edgy enough) because Christianism is ebil. Of course, they won't actually follow it, they'll just order the holy book, which they will never read, buy some buddha figurines, and read some feel good posts about peace and love, while being vapid cunts irl.

I noticed Walmart and similar retailers for women all started selling items featuring owls. Owl paraphernalia are being pushed hard; maybe it's merely a fad.

Judaism's power has reached unbelievable heights, arguably more-so than even in the days of ancient Babylon. Though usury, they have accumulated vast wealth that they can use to purchase whatever Earthly things they desire. Politicians, presidents, media outlets, businesses, nothing is immune to their tentacles of influence. There is virtually no place on this planet left that has not been violated by them.

As the Church is slowly choked out the west and is replaced by the many faces of Judaism, the populace struggles to find their favorite flavor of it, since the Jews have so many to offer them. On /pol/, the newest flavor pushed is paganism. In Normieville, it is feminism, or virtual signaling cultural marxism. What do those all have in common? Vanity, self-love, and dependence on big daddy government, all of which is incredibly Jewish and Talmudic ("We're the Chosen People.")

With so many gentiles divided and grasping for whatever they can to fill the spiritual void in their life, occult heresy is all too simple to peddle them. Whatever pushes gentiles further from Jesus and into the control of the rabbis, who are ultimately just the pawns of Satan, all the better.
