>ywn be a proud subject of the queen ;_;

Kinda unrelated but why did brits drinked exclusively black tea when chinese drinked green tea? Was black tea a thing in China?

>>2006747
Not as it was like in the west, no. Chinese black tea was more of a fermented more bitter version.

but they are. ethnic identities sometimes have little to do with real blood ties and more to do with religion and culture

>>2006561
Well, Ancient egyptians and Arabs don't have the same religion and their culture is really different. In what point are they similar?

Do they?

Yes.

This is why the Mormons are the true snakes, them and the Seventh Day Adventists. Mostly the Mormons, though. It boils my blood when I hear about right-thinking Christians including Mormons in their prayers.

>>2006262
pretty sure most everyday christians only give passing fucks about this issue.

>>2006262
I think the Nicene creed codified what was necessary for salvation, and even then, I'm not absolutely sure if Arianism is so heretical that one can hold such beliefs and be denied heaven. Pelagesians and Judaizers are pretty easy to condemn though. I believe that the most important thing for a Christian to recognize is that works do not imbue righteousness; Christians disagree as to what role works play in the Christian life, but it is abundantly clear that it is through Christ's sacrifice and victory alone that we are saved. By this, even Arians can be saved, although like non-Chalcedonians, I believe they miss out on some enlightened truths, and are less likely to remain saved.

Ps. I am an Anglican with heavy Orthodox leanings, but I retain Anglican ecclesiology, Sacramental theology, and Filioque.

Sure, but I think you used the wrong picture.

The ultimate goal of the Primary Will is immortality, but immortality is just as horrifying as death.

Existence is FUN, guys.

How did you come to that conclusion?

>he actually and unironically has made a dichotomy between science and philosophy

Hello, /sci/, how is $300 000 per year going?

Hey dipshit, "modern" is not the same as "contemporary." In philosophy, "modern" starts in the 1600s with Descartes.

He suffered from the side effects of being brilliant. Acting socially suffers from being too smart.

He was also right about modern industrial society destroying the soul of men.

/r9k/ before /r9k/.

Also, one does not discredit the other, just because he saw through the world due to his Robot status, doesn't make him wrong

>just because he saw through the world due to his Robot status, doesn't make him wrong

Yes it does.

Military leadership alone doesn't dictate the winner in a conflict. Logistics, industry and manpower gave the North victory.

>>2001578
Without the excellent leadership the south had the war would have been over in a few months. The North had EVERYTHING in their favor, manpower, economy, industry, logistics the only thing that kept the south in was their leadership.

Agrippa's three books tend to serve as the basic foundation of Western magick; indeed Dee & Kelley's Enochian elaborations are standardized by Agrippa. Beyond Agrippa there's cultural material like Sefer Raziel. The notions of a modern grimoire tradition tend to flow from these sources.

Tthe grimoire tradition of Europe spans from like maybe 1200 to maybe 1800, between the foundation of modern (read: Lurianic) Kabbalah and the writing of Elphais Levi. When someone's talking about “demon summoning” or “Goetia”, they're usually referring to Lemegeton, a text which describes the 72 spirits bound by Solomon, their qualities and means of summoning them, sigils, with other books dealing with planetary magick and angleic material (which is tied more closely to the year). Given that Lemegeton is the most common material, I recommend “Lon Milo Duquette's Illustrated Goetia” for noobs or Henson's Lemegeton for advanced practitioners. There are a lot of material needs for these rites. I'm of the school that you'll do fine just trying to work the material to the best of your ability. IMHO the minimum requirements are a chalk circle or one painted into cloth, and either a black mirror or a source of smoke (aside from various specific sigils). There's a LOT more grimoire material, though, from Grimorium Verum to Black Pullet to various more obscure texts. Interestingly, about Verum, we may be able to validate some form of Satanic styled tradition via The Pact of Urbain Grandier, which shows a sigil that would not be put to paper (as far as we know) for well over a hundred years. The mark at the top of Grandier's pact is startlingly similar to Silcharde's personal sigil in Verum.

(my revised /sum/ pastebin for those curious about Lemegeton: http://pastebin.com/v6qsewmw )

In any case, these materials were used by so called 'cunning folk' as the grimoire period wound down. A long time ago Murray wrote about a theoretical “witch cult” and long ago it was debunked.…

But this isn't the entire story. There are clearly writings from the time just prior to witch panic which describe a more or less cohesive body of practices melding old forms of paganism, the aforementioned source materials, and late folk magic remnants that survived Christist suppression. A Candle in the Darkness and Saducismus triumphatus give perhaps the first view of practices after Formicarius changed the public perception of witchcraft (introducting the idealized form of mostly female covens).

So what does all this mean in light of modern scholarship?

Most modern conceptions of witchcraft are routing through Carlo Ginzburg, Norman Cohn, and Emma Wilby (Cunning Folk and Familiar Spirits: Shamanistic Visionary Traditions in Early Modern British Witchcraft and Magic, Europe's Inner Demons: An Enquiry Inspired by the Great Witch-Hunt, The Visions of Isobel Gowdie: Magic, Witchcraft and Dark Shamanism in Seventeenth-Century Scotland, The Visions of Isobel Gowdie, The Night Battles: Witchcraft and Agrarian Cults in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries, Ecstasies. Deciphering the Witches' Sabbath, Between the Living and the Dead: A Perspective on Witches and Seers in the Early Modern Age, Witchcraft, Mythologies and Persecution, Christian Demonology And Popular Mythology: Demons, Spirits, Witches), with basic academic titles filling out the empty space (Oxford Handbook of Witchcraft, Agents of Witchcraft in Early Modern Italy and Denmark, Icelandic Magic, Witchcraft and Belief in Early Modern Scotland, Physical Evidence for Ritual Acts of Sorcery and Witchcraft, Anglo-saxon Charms, Superstition and Magic in Early Modern Europe, etc.).

A guy by the name of Andrew Chumbley, practicing occultist and PhD candidate in History (of religion) was writing a dissertation on possible validations a line of transmission from the sorts of practices mentioned in the witch-hunting manuals down to the modern day, when he died of asthma shortly after preparing to release some occult books which were pushed back many years. Anyway, some of his assertions can be found in “children of qayin” which is in my Cultus Sabbati folder; it displays photos of “Witch Bottles” held in museums, the jugs having origins in both America and Europe, and they bear marks that look more or less like the sigil methods described by Agrippa and later popularized by Spare and the Chaos Magick traditions.

Nice, and if wikipedia is correct, the guy that played Robb Stark is also from your village?

I live by a bay, we have this cute old lighthouse. The inside is all preserved with 19th century furnishings.

Chemin de Chambly is the most ancient road of Canada. Thats it.
