This update focuses mostly on various ethnographies of Amazonian peoples and descriptions of their ritual/social practices.

Included is the Book of Chilam Balam, in a few iterations:

Moreover there's a nice little article about demonic evokation/invokation from the Coptic manuscripts (H-happy Palm Sunday ;_;)

Contesting Orthodoxy in Medieval Europe
The Daimon in Hellenic Astrology (A Brill Edition, probably VERY relevant to HGA/Augoeides work).

>Gnostic Stuides

>Shamanic

^^^ I should note that for the last thirty or forty years, there are no "uncontacted" tribes. Invariably when pics of some "uncontacted" tribe gets circulated you can go to any anth department in the country and get a rundown on what linguistic and culture family they're from, isolated as they may be.

Just about every single one of these groups DID have contact with the colonial/church forces but the ethnocides in the Rubber Boom generally pushed them as deep into the interior as they could get because fuck a whole bunch of waking up to see your river choked with corpses or every man in the village missing limbs for not collecting rubber (if they were lucky enough to get a limb hacked off rather than shot on the spot).

Nobody reads primary source documents. It upsets the narrative.

Related, reading Azoetia is about to give me a nosebleed.
>>
>>2637301
That's why I don't screw around too much with Azoetia.

If you notice the ritual structure is more or less the same as DBoE, on a circle of syllables; the Azoetia ritual year has two hypostates, the waking and dreaming arrangement of Aats.

I'm not exactly sure what order they need ran in, or if they're even particularly relevant to the Column of the Serpent Cross outside of Chumbley's personal elaborations.

It really feels like just the notes of an ambitious Neophyte.

Word on the street is that it was his running grimoire/"""book of shadows""" in his late teenage and early adult years.

Literally everything. She influenced one of the first members of the Cultus Sabbati fairly deep.

Most important for the sort of ceremonial Western magick someone asking this question is likely interested in.

I think her association with Grant was light. She'd spent more time with The Great and Wild Beast himself, iirc. But she did operate as a contemporary to Grant and influenced many many of Grant's students, including Mike Howard who edited Cauldron and sorta kinda popularized the modern conception of Luciferian Witchcraft.

All right sunshine prove to us all that you have real magical powers.
>>
The disparity between the claims of magick and the actual "abilities" of its practitioners is staggering. Blind leading the blind.
>>
>>2638514
But why?

There's rather a huge amount of historical and anthropological source texts here, as mentioned a few times already.

>>2638513
I mean the vast majority of it is elaboration on the big main points of the Western grimoire tradition, some expansion on Thelema, and a healthy mix of Near Eastern cults (as it should be considering the time and place where Agrippa operated).

>>2638523
I don't think I ever actually made that claim. Also you not liking it doesn't make it non-academic.

>>2638530
Well if you're talking 'magick' with the 'k', then the supposed sphere of adumbration's rather narrow, and outcomes somewhat vague.

If this is just an excuse to make broad generalization, then carry on, but to the underlying point it would appear that most amateurs are exactly that, amateurs, which flood and infest every interest, like WWII history or science journalism.
>>
>>2638560
So just to be clear you haven't got any evidence to prove that any of this is real.

Well that's exactly what I expected

I mean, we're on shitpost website. Any photography or video is open to claims of obvious manipulation.

Wanna meet for coffee sometime and/or run any number of the experiments from the source texts yourself?

It always amuses me when the purveyors of scientism are always eager to tell some batshit tinfoiler who won't do a simple experiment to do a simple experiment but recoil when you suggest they try the same with a rite from a 15th C. manuscript.

>>2638573
Teabo Manuscript, over in the Shamanic folder; it's good shit.

Yeah except Thelema's motto is "the method of science; the aim of religion."

Like holy shit, it's just as bad as people that still read osho books even after the whole rajneeshpuram scandal.

I never made a claim in need of substantiation.

I posted a text repository.

Moreover, I made the offer to meet you for ritual. I can't do much more than that unless you think of something more novel than a/v.

None of the shit I want the most appears to have been digitized. You should hunt down "The Devil in the Land of the Holy Cross".

You earlier mentioned an evocation... sorry evokation lol well what were you evoking?

How does the evoked entity manifest itself?

Is it just similar to intensive prayer or do you actually achieve concrete and tangible results?

I simply asked for any evidence at all. I'm not choosy. But you have nothing it seems but an invitation for me to come pray with you.

Yes, that's exactly what Warao shamanism is.

You're right.
I have nothing.
I'm not posting to prove anything to anyone, or convert anyone to anything.
I don't finish my rites with a camera in my hand breathlessly waiting for the smallest result, for aforementioned reasons, not to mention I don't recall that being a part of any ritual replication I'm running.

I like how you resort to vague answers just to avoid making any claims that require to be backed up.

I'd imagine Crowley didn't see himself dying a penniless drug addict. I'd imagine with all his talk about ushering in the new aeon, he would have liked to have founded a religion that isn't fading slowly into obscurity with a few scattered lodges around the world consisting of edgy teenagers and middle aged larpers.

Good to know that if I'd have taken the psychological route with a breakdown of the rites of IA through LA in the Dragon Book of Essex that would have been dismissed outright, beyond the succession of more complex results therefrom.

In any case the Column rites from early midsummer through the Fall Equinox should suffice for you at this point.

Beyond that you'd figure the whiners could google a few of the titles themselves to verify this isn't the "new age" aisle at Barnes & Noble....I've actually had to do that a number of times (link to university publisher webpages with the books on them) in early threads on /his/ to convince folks it's on topic.

The Lamp of Darkness:

Jewish mysticism posits that the ultimate mystery is En (without) Sof (limit), the infinite, which is absolute essential creativity. Theism and nihilism equally reify its living mystery with their respective conceptual stances of affirmation and negation. Although En Sof always escapes the clutches of such conceptualizations, it can be realized in the gnostic sense if its nature is directly recognized and surrendered to completely. In this, the practitioner is consumed, swallowed whole, yet paradoxically stands as the body of all worlds. This vivid paradox is the seal of the creative mystery. It cannot be imprisoned by any world, yet it blazes with the pristine primordial beauty all worlds are based on. This is the secret elixir that frees mind from itself, and uncoils the reflexes that impure the defining boundaries of inner and out, being and nothingness, and sef and other.

The difficulty is in understanding that En Sof shines forth without ever leaving itself. Since Kabbalistic metaphors rely on unexplained emanation imagery, a serious reexamination is needed. The hishtalshelut (chain of worlds) is presented as a ladder with a linear top and bottom; but this should never be accepted literally. Various models calibrate it differently. Some early schools articulate the sefirot within concentric circles (or 3-D shapes). Later schools offer the concentric model in exchange with the common lineal model. This was meant to offset the problem of directionality, which human beings impute by virtue of habit. However, all of these symbolic models remain imprisoned within the collective habit field until they are recognized as virtues of the mind's essential nature. Until that point, the symbolism will remain mere psychospiritual conjecture.

Conventionally fixated magicians are often seduced into the dark glamour of the klipot’s temporary illusion of power. This stems from a conventional hunger to dominate and manipulate phenomena and inflate one’s sense of identity in the process. Both the adolescent mage and the fretful religionist share the habit of reifying phenomena. The solution to both is a shift in view. Continually holding to primordial purity mitigates the rigidity of the klipot, but its vividness can still shine through. Through its playful brightness the primordial sparks can break through their mundane shells and be gathered. Holding the gnostic view dissolves their prisons, and breaks them free to enter one’s practice. Facing any kind of phenomena directly and nakedly is spiritual practice. Its strength and disposition is shaped in each moment, and in turn, shapes the meaning of our life.

Once realization ripens, it is only a matter of how stable it remains. The tzadik, or stable realizer, does not fall back into the klipot to reify a subject or an object. The tzadik’s life is the seal of the primordial purity that is the basis of a living gnosis. However this distinction does not imply objective moral status. This represents a decisive break from the view of Judeo-Christian religion and theism in general, which generally holds the klipot as barriers between man from god, thus becoming the mechanisms of ‘evil’. The non-emanationist view neither supports the existence of a barrier or the implied dichotomy of good or evil. These issues are the exclusive domain of religion, and can be a tremendous sidetrack for a contemplator.

By means of the creation of the world (which is an emanation of the Divine) the Infinite became, as it were, 'contracted' (Tsimtsum) and took on certain attributes of the finite. To this finite belongs the 'darkness' of the first chaos or, in other words, evil. Hence the finite stands at the uttermost extremity of the Divine emanation, i.e. the world. And as it is man's duty to strive after union with the Infinite, his pursuit of the finite leads him to that which lies at the extremity of the Divine nature rather than that which lies at the heart of it. This constitutes evil. It is a state of absence, a negation, because man who, like the universe, is but one of the manifestations of the Divine, can only attain the real when he seeks the Real who is his fount, his home."

The klipot are the thickened echoes of the tzimtzum. Structurally from the perspective of the human realm, they perform a viable function. However the mystic is not satisfied abiding within their limiting structures. The goal of mysticism is to penetrate the shells of every world. This aspiration should not be confused with ordinary goals, which point to a set of destinations at the end of a linear path. The gnostic disposition is a continuous stream of breakthrough, always penetrating deeper and further without end. What the mystic ultimately realizes is that this process never reaches anywhere. Its endlessness is the point. This would be very frustrating and boring from the standpoint of ordinary fixations.

The klipot (so-called qlipoth) are mere divisive mental barriers, formed by habits of cognitive reification. They gather both personally and collectively, as cognitive obscurations and obstructions build momentum. They are purified by recognizing their essential primordial nature,which rests at the heart of the tzimtzum reflex. This occurs as both simultaneous gnosis as well as the slow unfolding of spiritual transformation, however both share a single ground, which is the basis of the realization as well as that which is realized.

The labyrinth of connections within each divine name offers a radically direct path to the lamp of darkness. The esoteric roots are unlike other symbolic construcs. Through them the open matrix of cretative process is splayed open naked. However, in order for this gnosis to unfuld, the mind must fight through many bariers (klipot) within its habitual momentum. The deeper it goes, the more subtle the opacifying klipot become. The most elusive layers are what Kaplan refers to as 'semi-permiable'. They are exchanges of an incredibly fine resonance, which bear a very delicate yet deadly propensity for reification. Their resonance is so sublte that they often might seem like gnosis itself This is a concealed trap for a few advanced ones who even travel this far.

The three-fold klipot which obstruct burgeoning gnosis are its bones, blood, and flesh. Each creates inner, mediating, and outer aspects of reification. All become permeable as the phenomena becomes a heart-sacrifice. From above and below the blood of space floods the body of space. Anything and everything becomes the sacrificial beast. Its lungs are Saturn and Jupiter. Its kidneys are mars and venus. Its belly and head are sun and moon, which temper and shape the mercury in its heart.

When we become our own redeemer and deliverer, a self-sacrificial pig messiah, the process of tikkun olam (the repair of the world) begins in earnest. We face the klipot of our resistances head on, to recognize the ubiquitous spark of perfection that displays itself within the disguise of imperfection. The feast of the kosher pig consumes the root of identity and the universe of identification that has been fabricated around it. Its presentational flesh is malkut, called ‘Garden’. The energy of its formative motion is tiferet, called ‘Eden’. Their unifying continuum is the digestion of the feast and its enjoyment, personified by the serpent called Nachash. It seals the motion display as a single continuum that can equally fall into degenerate fiction or rise to the occasion of gnosis. Its undulating frequencies shape every nuance of phenomena.

The sacrificial beast draws the consuming fire forth from the heart of the five organ array. The corners of its quadrisected body split in two. Head and belly are flanked by the left and right kidneys and lungs. From within, a blazing halo emerges to hold the organs in the glow of its own intention, like an altar. Each thought, movement, feeling, and form is such a beast on such an altar. Each presents its organ body splayed in the light of aspiration. All that is needed is a spark from the deep to ignite the glow into the wild abandon of consumption; the spontaneous regenerating self-consumption of standing-in-dissolving.

All klipot are primordially pure from the outset, and serve as the ultimate offering. Impurity is an opinion offered as food. The body of the beast swells with impulses, and its forbidden flesh is eaten with impunity when spontaneously realized as intrinsically pure. Gnostic intoxication is the feast of a kosher pig.

The fire bellows forth from within. It caresses the beast’s yellowing skin, passes through its red meat, and smolders its white bones. All three are usurped into smoke to fill the blue sky, suffusing the five worlds with the meaning and intention of the sacrifice, each according to its level. The three sides…right, left, and center…are configured as Adam on the right, Chavah on the left, and between them is the enveloping Nachash embracing all equally. Through it the wedding is consummated, and Chavah copulates twice.

Practitioners pass through the precarious junctures by adopting an attitude common in theistic systems. This is the view that absolute knowledge is ungraspable, thus one never meets 'face to face' with “God”. There is no concrete destination that can be reached. This leaves raw aspirations free to mix with pregnat space. Once theistic associations are extracted, the disposition of 'not reaching' remains an effective contemplative method. It naturally adapts to the disposition of phenomena, which are indeed infinite, with no (En) end (Sof), and it prevents subtle reification from coagulating into the most intangible of klipot.

REACHING BEYOND GOD

The primary catalyst for spiritual growth is the discovery of compassion. In the sense intended here, compassion refers to the primal expansiveness (Chesed) of En Sof, which gives itself freely as infinite variation without ever departing from its primordial essence. From an esoteric perspective this has nothing whatsoever to do with do-gooderism, dogmatic fixed morality, or dualistic codes of rules. It abides in the opening of cognition, to purify the perceptual field into a gnosimic continuum, revealing what is obstructed by the coarseness of habitual reificiation. Cultivating compassion is the antidote to alienating fictions of self and other that reify all klipot.

Who is the doer of a thing? In the language of Zohar, 'who' (50), is code for Binah's gates, which open the responsive spaces of Keter. The question 'who is the doer' is a powerful mantric phrase of inquiry. Gnosis unfolds as the hollow sheslls of idnetity are dissolved, and its momentum mixes, merges, and rests coequal with the womb space of creation.

Wisdom is encoded in the phrase “I am that I am” which poses the divine name of keter as a reflexive equation. It is given in the Torah as Moses inquires before the burning bush not consumed by its enveloping flame. The most common translation is not exactly accurate. AHYH AshR AHYH is better understood as 'I will be that by which I will be', thereby stressing the meeting point of potentiality with its capacity to manifest anything.

>>2640432
The phrase pinpoints the precise intersection of the mirror of mind as it reflects itself. The first AHYH represents an open capacity to reflect. The second represents reflected variation. They are a true unity, thus posit wholeness in the aspect of 'front' and 'back'. The phrases poses a continuum in which beginning and end are equalized by the balance point at their heart. This is the nexus of the fire of self-consumption, which is a thrust beyond coming into being or passing away, thus 'the bush was not consumed'.
AshR has a value of 501. Its gematria equates with the word TMVNH (Ex. 20:4), which means 'in a manner of likeness'. This poses the magical continuum again, like a mirror. The manner of likeness the worlds assume is a result of how their motion display is apprehended. If one inquires to penetrate the automaton reflex of the status quo, artificial constructs begin to melt away.

More hidden layers can be unfolded letter by letter. Alef is absolute wholeness set within the paradox of unity. This is illustrated by the letter's graphic form, in which two yuds (above and below) are poised with a vav between them. This alludes to the structure of BeYeA (Briah, yetzirah, assiah), which pose the upper and lower aspects of Sechinah (correpsonding to the two hehs, or binah and malkut). In the standard tree diagram, they balance above and below the middle six sefirot (vav). All of these arrangements suggest a mirror. When alef is esoterically converted into the coded sequence YVY, the implication is that the seeds of Atik the father (yud/Y) equalizes 'before' and 'after' the expression of its energetic motion, which is Zer Anpin (the Son). As “The Fountain of Wisdom” states: Alef is never less than two.

Thus, the scales rest in balance.

>>2640438
Alef as YVY equals 26, which is the gematria of YHVH. Keter is called Alef, because it is the first sefirah. Thus, through that number, keter (alef as 26) connects to tifaret (YHVH). In this connection, the king passes down the crown to his son without diminishment. This represents the pure cognizance (yechida/chaya) extending as the perceptual motion of variation (ruach).AHYH is a set of scales in balance. Both formulas of HYH and YVY reflect and balance each other, as a reflection reflecting itself. This mirror presents as its reflection from any point of view, like a hand that shapes itself, and a seed that displays its own womb. Thus, within AHYH, the secret pivot can be recognized, and binding to it allows 'that by which' to return phenomena to the single root from which both trees grow. Through this unified root, all things bask in the question 'what is meaning in itself?'. The space of the question exudes fathomless beatuy, regardless of the aesthetic or moral implications to which it becomes appended. This is a reflection of 'that by which' En Sof opens. Reductive mechanistic understanding cannot reproduce it. It is where wisdom overlaps convention, and where mystery outshines the ordinary.

Beyond success and failure, beauty cannot be imprisoned within experience, but paradoxically, it cannot happen elsewhere.

Take the chance on overcoming death by negation of birth. Shed your markers, identity, and self esteem. Walk upright, as no-one, nowhere, vividly delighting in the reflected feasts of frequencies.

From the Adeptus Minor material:

This, then, is the task to be undertaken by the Adeptus Minor. To expel from the Sephiroth of the Nephesch the usurpation by the evil Sephiroth; to balance the action of the Sephiroth of the Ruach in those of the Nephesch. To prevent the Lower Will and Human Consciousness from falling into and usurping the place of the Automatic Consciousness. To render the King of the Body, the Lower Will, obedient to and anxious to execute the commands of the Higher Will, that he be neither a usurper of the faculties of the Higher, nor a sensual despot, but an Initiated Ruler, and an annointed King, the Viceroy and representative of the Higher Will, because inspired thereby, in his Kingdom which is man. Then shall it happen that the Higher Will, i.e., the Lower Genius, shall descend into the Royal Habitation, so that the Higher Will and the Lower Will shall be as one, and the Higher Genius shall descend into the Kether of the Man, bringing with him the tremendous illumination of his Angelic Nature. And the Man shall become what is said of Enoch. “And Chanokh made himself to walk with God, and he was not, for God took him.” (Genesis, V.v. 24.) Then also this shalt thou know, that the Nephesch of the Man shall become as the Genius of the Evil Persona, so that the evil persona itself shall be as the power of the Divine in the Qlippoth, as it is said: “Whither shall I go from thy Spirit, or whither from thy Presence shall I flee? If I ascend up to Heaven, thou art there. If I make my bed in Hell, behold thou art there.” (Ps. Cxxxix.)

Therefore even the Evil Persona is not so evil when it fulfilleth its work. For it is the beginner of a dim reflection of the Light unto the Qlippoth, and this is what is hidden in the saying that “Typhon is the brother of Osiris.” Hear thou, then, a mystery of the knowledge of evil. The Ritual of the Adeptus Minor saith that even the “Evil helpeth forward the Good.” When the evil Sephiroth are expelled from the Nephesch into the evil Persona, they are, in a sense, equilibriated therein. The evil persona can be rendered as a great and strong, yet trained, animal whereupon the man rideth, and it then becometh a strength unto his physical base of action. This Mystery shalt thou keep from the knowledge of the First Order, and still more from that of the Outer World, that is as a formula, seeing that is a dangerous secret. Now then shalt thou begin to understand the saying “He descended into Hell,” and also to comprehend in part this strength, and thus begin to understand the necessity of evil unto the material creation. Wherefore, also, revile not overmuch the evil forces, for they have also a place and a duty, and in this consisteth their right to be. But check their usurpation, and cast them down unto their plane. Unto this end, curse them by the mighty names if need be, but thou shalt not revile them for their condition, for thus also shalt thou be led into error. There is also a great mystery that the Adeptus Minor must know. How the spiritual consciousness can act around and beyond the sphere of Sensation.

“Thought” is a mighty force when projected with all the strength of the lower Will under the guidance of the reasoning faculty and illuminated by the Higher Will. Therefore, it is that, in thy occult working, thou art advised to invoke the divine and Angelic Names, so that thy Lower Will may willingly receive the influx of the Higher Will, which is also the Lower Genius behind which are the all-potent forces.

This, therefore, is the magical manner of operation of the Initiate when “skrying” in the spirit vision. Through his own arcane wisdom, he knows the disposition and correspondences of the Forces of the Macrocosmos. Selecting not many, but one symbol, and that balanced and with its correlatives, then sendeth he a thought-ray from his Spiritual Consciousness, illuminated by his Higher Will, directly unto the part of his Sphere of Sensation which is consonant with the symbol employed. There, as in a mirror, doth he perceive its properties as reflected from the Macrocosmos, shining forth into the Infinite Abyss of the Heavens.

Thence can he follow the ray of reflection therefrom, and while concentrating his united consciousness at that point of his sphere of sensation, can receive the direct reflection of the ray from the Macroscosmos. Thus receiving the direct ray as then reflected into his Thought, he can unite himself with the ray of his Thought so as to make one continuous ray from the corresponding point of the Macrocosmos unto the centre of his consciousness. If, instead of concentrating at the actual point of the sphere of Sensation he shall retain the thought-ray only touching the sphere of sensation at that point, he shall, it is true, perceive the reflection of the Macrocosmic Ray answering to that symbol in the sphere of his Consciousness. But he shall receive this reflection tinctured much by his own nature, and therefore to an extent untrue, because his united conciousnesses have not been able to focus along the thought-ray at the circumference of the Sphere of sensation. And this is the reason why there are so many and multifarious errors in untrained spirit visions. For the untrained seer, even supposing him free from the delusions of obsession, doth not know or understand how to unite his consciousnesses and the harmonies between his own sphere of sensation, and the universe, the Macrocosmos. Therefore is it so necessary that the Adeptus Minor should correctly understand the principia and axiomata of our secret knowledge, which are contained in our Rituals and Lectures.

Which version?

By the time you get to the third iteration you literally cannot extricate it from the Sabbatic praxis.

But the FIRST iteration can honestly be used as an all purpose banishing along with the gestures used in the Rite of the Turnskin.

Um, sorta not really? Bataille comes close:
“A man who finds himself among others is irritated because he does not know why he is not one of the others.

In bed next to a girl he loves, he forgets that he does not know why he is himself instead of the body he touches.

Without knowing it, he suffers from the mental darkness that keeps him from screaming that he himself is the girl who forgets his presence while shuddering in his arms.”

Of fallen angel jesus acting as the nexus for tapping into the quintessence.

I'm about to play mad-libs and make my own current. Mahamudra as transmitted through the metaphor of spiritual pederasty with the atavistic yogi via a syncretization of lucifer and akashagharba with praxes focused on dream incubation.

It is not necessary to understand; it is enough to

GOD.
We ignore what created us; we adore what we create.
Let us create nothing but GOD!
That which causes us to create is our true father and
mother; we create in our own image, which is theirs.
Let us create therefore without fear; for we can
create nothing that is not GOD.

>Belief as a tool" and "It doesn't matter what you believe, just believe" - I have seen this approach before, and I think I understand the aim: to open the overly-skeptic initiate up to the possibility of results. But initiates on the path are most likely bogged down with layers and layers of unhelpful beliefs that should be questioned and most likely left behind, and my instinct is to warn initiates that belief is baggage, belief is debris. If the initiate is hampered by ill-adjusted skepticism, she might note that it is ill-adjusted precisely because of belief that is getting in the way of basic healthy skepticism, i.e. "I don't think anything will happen when I perform this ritual" is a belief-obstacle, so in this instance belief is not acting as a helpful tool, and healthier skepticism, not more belief is the prescription
>>
>>2643955
I understand all of that. I still see no ''real magic'' there.

>I'm more inclined to the psychological & philosophical understanding of the occult, i.e. I highly doubt any of the metaphysical implications.

^From my initial post. Anyway; I have spoken to people who do rituals and evocations, and so on. And in every case there is nothing but magical thinking and ''slight oddities'', e.g. flickering candles, synchronicity, odd dreams... never any valid evidence for the practice actually manifesting a demon or something.

In Chaos magick it's a shorthand word for deep trance or dharana/dhyana. Just short of Samadhi.

Sorta; it's a matter of personal apprehension of Christ in the "Gnostic" systems (Gnostic is almost a weasel word, it describes dozens of divergent doctrines).

Thumb through Gospel of Thomas and Thunder: Perfect Mind, if you're going historical. Any given yoga manual if you're going Chaos (Shiva Samhita, Hathayoga, Raja Yoga).

It was first bestowed in dreaming vision by Draku Ezhu, our Hidden Intercessor, and is hereafter offered to all Aspirants by the Will of the Magister Alogos Dhu'l-Qarnen Khidir. May it serve to accomplish the Mind-to-Mind Transmission of the Magical Quintessence and open the Way for all who seek entry into the Crooked Path".

Because if you're gating into the system the first point of entry after Hieros Gamos and the Rite of the Draconian Oracle is HU which is tied to the color red and in some senses the associated practices are an elaboration on ThROA/Pyramidos.

The joy of the DBoE is that it is incomprehensible gibberish unless you have the will to grind through it and do your homework and that azdeha will fuck you up if you don't see it through. It is its own selection process.

To be blunt, the vast majority of interesting discourse in these threads comes from /x/ regulars stopping and and interacting with my more detailed/well cited threads.

"Babby's first" questions are gonna sound like ass no matter how educated the person asking them.

Not a defense of /x/...there's a reason I like posting on /his/.

If I didn't think these threads would be bigger trollbait on this board I'd move over here full time.

/x/ needs competent posters tho.
Like...badly.
That's what the library's trying to address.

Yeah, while my "True Will" often leads me to do transgressive things there is a definitive limit. Although CS has a lot of vague hints about "Sacrifice", especially Shulke, who seems to suggest that anything you are attached to could be a worthy offering to the Gods. Makes me wonder what he does in his spare time

Wow there sure are a lot of Memelords on 4chan who converted to Zoroastrianism. I guess it's a better Meme religion than the re constructionist "I'm a real White Boi" /pol/ style paganism

I wish I had anything like that near me. So much actual Work being done, so much bizarre Magickal Palace intrigue

Ape I'm assuming that I should not do any of the "serious" CS practices like Stellar Transvokation or Dark Moon rites without doing the midwinter rite first, but do you think it would be bad to synthesize smaller practices (backwards prayer of the intercessor etc) into my activities right now? I really want to do Aza-Hu but it seems pretty explicit about only doing that in the presence of your Vessel

If I remember correctly, https://web.archive.org/web/20140509040809/http://xoanon.co.uk/a-few-words-upon-draconian-praxis

>And for those who are serious about engaging with it, before the inception of the ritual Dragon Year with the Rite of Ka, I suggest that they first practice, for no less than a period of three months, the ‘Hallowing the Kingdom of Qayin’ praxis. This will cement a solid foundation and basic understanding of the structure of Draconian Praxis and prepare the individual for fuller immersion in the Current.

>A second and supplementary practice which should be performed prior to the engagement of Ka, are the calls of the Stellar Transvocation.

Huh, so Robert Fitzgerald actually recommends performing the Hallowing and Stellar Transvocation for a few months before beginning KA to prepare.

Tomorrow would be a great time to start as that's gonna be on the tail moving backward through all stars until the New Moon at which point you'd be doing the full Black Moon rite and Vessel feeding, as well a full recitation of the whole Body, but you can just do the recitation of the whole Body.

By Transvocation of the Star Within and the Star Beyond, let the single flame of our Union be kindled and the Fires of Enchantment ignite! Let the colmn of the Dragon's Brood enflesh among men.

So mote it be.

Unto us, the unveiling of Thy mysteries.
Unto us, the revelation of Apophasian Gnosis.
Unto us, open the Way of the Crook'd Path!

Beyond the threshold of the great dominions, and beyond the great domains of mortal gods and mortal men.

Unto us the benedictions of this Pact within the Circle of the Dragon's Flame.
Unto us, thy Flesh, O Azh'deha.
Oh, Star of the Dragon's [part], illuminate this mortal flesh from within as Thou, O [star name] doth illuminate the Body of the Void from without.

Oh, Azh'deha, the powers of thy [part] I assume as my own

''It's occult for a reason.'' Is what the practitioners might say. I'm not sure myself, probably because its all in the mind. Almost every technique for practicing ''magic'' seems to be the altering of your own mind.

I'm not saying Zoroastrianism didn't influence Judaism, but I'm certainly saying that conflating Zoroastrian doctrinal assumptions with the Tribal Jewish contemplative praxes of Iyyun, Hekhalot, or Merkavah literatures treated with commentary by any modern competent academic, historian, or comparative religionist.

I mean, go up into the Kabbalah folder I have and see how much modern discourse there is on Zoroastrianism as it relates to the Kabbalah.
