Promoting the idea of a church with no centralised leadership or regulated structure, opening the door to a hundred dipshit breakaway churches.

There was no 'race' back then. It was more about cultures.

After all that shit, the rest of Europe just wanted the French to calm down
Enraging the French people once again wasnt seen as very clever given what they pulled during the Revolution

Also, French royal family was still very powerful in Europe
Not to mention that putting back monarchy was meant to send a message to the pleb of all Europe: "Don't try to rebel, in the end you'll lose anyway".

Does this take the cake for the most hilarious backfire of all time?

19th century romanticism. Some faggot wrote a book on them and made them seem all super mystical and shit. That book has skewed the popular idea of Samurai for over a century.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mongol_invasions_of_Japan

Not really samurai just yet, but close enough. I feel the main reason why samurai are adored is an appreciation of the warrior-monk spirit. Mastery of both pen and sword and such. Plus interesting aesthetics mixed with a fair bunch of Japanophilia which arose in the mid 19th century.

No, the problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money.

Agrippa relied heavily on planetary and stellar magic. Some of my favorite material from this is Agrippa's elaborations on the Behenian Fixed Stars. Budge (who first translated Coming Forth by Day for a wide audience) asserts these have a Sumerian origin:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Behenian_fixed_star

A new list of important stars appears with some ominous implications in Crowley's working of the Enochian material in Algeria:
>And the tablet blazeth ever brighter till it filleth the whole Aire. And behold! there is is one God therein, and the letters of the stars in his crown, Orion, and the Pleiades, and Aldebaran, and Alpha Centauri, and Cor Leonis, and Cor Scorpionis, and Spica, and the pole-star, and Hercules, and Regulus, and Aquila, and the Ram's Eye.
>And upon a map of the stars shalt thou draw the sigil of that name; and because also some of the letters are alike, thou shalt know that the stars also have tribes and nations
Cultus Sabbati is a modern synchretic system working out of Draco, which the Arabs reckoned as hyenas attacking a family of camels.

There are tons of great star myths of incredible importance through India. One of my favorites is that of the Matrika, or the star goddesses of the Pleiades, sometimes reckoned to be the wives of the Seven Saptarishi, or wise saints which appear to function as living vessels of stellar transition and are associated with Ursa Major. The Matrika on the other hand round out a list of entities in some tantrik traditions which may be invoked into a properly trained aspirant. Matrikabheda Tantra touches on some of this material and may be accessed via the library. There's a huge amount of material on these subjects, my paragraph is just a springboard.

Anyway, what interesting, obscure, or wild stellar myths do YOU know? Or have info about. I'd love to know more about traditional Chinese astrology and/or what the Norse were doing with the stars. Any info, particularly with [citations] is appreciated, though the traditions and systems mentioned above aren't set in stone.

Honest question: why practice magic?
