The Complete Grimoire of Pope Honorius by David Rankine and Paul Henry Barron is also an excellent read if you are into grimoires. Joseph H. Peterson's Lemegeton is another one of my favorites.

Could anyone recommend a book similar to The Secret Teachings of All Ages by Manly P. Hall? It's an excellent read but Hall was himself a devoted Christian mystic, so I'd like a book covering the entire general history of Western esotericism but less biased.

post scribd link or else i can't read it

man I wish the archive worked because I wrote some huge thing about magic in Nordic society but I didn't save it

Thanks for the resources anon, I will check them out. Reminds me of this

http://www.amazon.ca/Galdrabok-Stephen-E-Flowers/dp/1885972431/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1446232247&sr=8-1&keywords=Galdrab%C3%B3k

I've been meaning to read Yukio Mishima forever and I promised myself the next book I bought would be Confessions of a Mask but hnnnnggg that Icelandic grimoire is tempting.

>>55628
Stephens Galdrabok is ok, but it's geared towards the LHP side of Icelandic magic, and almost entirely ignores the other side which is really disappointing.

>>55538
Don't have a scribd link but here

http://www.sacred-texts.com/grim/bcm/

You'll also want to read the Mathers edition of the Key of Solomon because Waite refers to it frequently.

That site has a lot of good esoteric books so does this one.

I didn't realize the LHP/RHP dichotomy existed in Icelandic magic. Never read any books on it yet so recommendations would be welcome.

>>55175
IMO, it was good for it's time but a lot of the info is outdated.

>>55840
Galdrabok is, funnily enough, one of the few English resources on the topic. Icelandic magic was a mishmash of christian/jewish and pagan sources, with some spells calling pagan gods demons, and others calling them good spirits within the same texts.

Some icelandic grimoires are classified as "black" and others as "white", based off who wrote them.

That's fascinating. Was the Key of Solomon among its Abrahamic influences, perhaps? My friend noted when I showed him the Clavicle that it reminded him of these Icelandic symbols. That's how I first heard of the Galdrabok actually, just last night.

Not being sly here or anything, but what exactly is the point of studying occultism and esoteric practices? Is it interesting fiction, or do you guys think this stuff is real?

>>57695
it is real, but not in the way you conceptualize it.

the pentagrams and candles is fake of course, but there are "magical" things that are real.

it's a higher level science that deals in truth and causation, while science dwells in the observation and documentation of the lies and effects born form the higher spheres of.... "reality"

every question has an answer.
do you know what the question is?

No man hath ISIS unveiled, she hath gifted the world with the "Sun"

for me, i study ancient religion/ "magic" in the context of folklore and mythology as a social science. it's not magic the way most people interpret it today, but it's more about the rituals/beliefs and what we can infer from these behaviors.

>>55175
I would postulate that there is no real esoteric tradition. Some of these ideas are byproducts of science, others are byproducts of religion to the point where if they are shared by many they become religious canon.

This topic is lacking in depth while at the same time being too broad and general.

If discussing the history of science one may mention the weirder ideas that are connected to it, e.g. astrology, alchemy, etc. or when discussing religious history one may discuss the believes of fringe groups. But a topic for "esoteric" ideas in general is just too wide, since literally anyone in the history has had stupid ideas and plenty of people have written them down. Specific topics would be better suited instead of a general thread.

What are these "magical" things then?

>>57695
It's real. You can empirically test it.

But the supernatural stuff is not the interesting part. Self knowledge and ability to change your own mind is.

I agree. I'm appreciative of this board. Too much superstitious, roleplaying garbage on /x/.

I approve of gook moot.

>>58795
well, on this level of reality, it's all about control and knowledge.

so there are some magical things you can do which grant you more control and more awareness.

such as predicting the future.

predicting the future has a similar affect as an observer collapsing a probability function in quantum mechanics by observing something's position.

turn the prediction into a meme, spread it through enough peoples minds, and the prediction becomes a self fulfilling prophecy and manifests itself in the "real" world.

errogores are similar where memes manifest themselves in real life, like bane posting resulting in the cia plane crashing in the bain mountains.

hmm...

you can increase your awareness by tapping into your "schizophrenic sense"
everything is a form of communication after all.

things are communicating all around you in languages you don't understand, open your mind and you may begin to see the mystery.

"it's not what you look at, but what you see"

the USA government messes with this kind of stuff all the time, but they just don't talk about it, see "the men who stare at goats"

don't even get me started on MONEY and what it actually is and what it does and is for.
You can watch the anime "C control" for that one. it has some clues and answers, the guy at the end of the last episode is Lucifer by the way, at least that is what is heavily implied

that's just THIS reality mind you

>>58795
>>59040

the root power of all magic in this level of reality though is causality.

cause and effect is like the god particle of metaphysics in this level of reality, and extends in some shape or form to all other levels of reality, but not to "the truth", which exists outside all levels of reality.

cause and effect is order, totally synonymous to master and slave, authority and submission.

master the art of cause and effect and you will have one of the keys to total control and power

>>59040
Sounds like black magic.

>>59040
>turn the prediction into a meme, spread it through enough peoples minds, and the prediction becomes a self fulfilling prophecy and manifests itself in the "real" world.
That's very different from swinging a pendulum, burning incense or sacrificing a goat in your basement though. Influencing the masses verbally or through imagery is not magic, that's called advertisement.

How does this connect to historical esoteric rituals, which obviously were often done in private.

Certainly someone could be influenced through all kinds of charlatanry in order to believe a certain thing, it's still done today in regards to homoeopathy or other types of nonsense, but there is nothing "magical" about this.

>>59119
>>59040

oh and lies

lies are the key to reigning in and controlling the firey truth that is chaos.

lies, money, causality,

complete knowledge of these, that's all you need to become god like.

>>59160
it's Order magic, not black magic.

there are only two schools of magic, Order, and Chaos.

I am not well versed in Chaos magic as I am only knowledgeable of the false light of Lucifer who wishes he was chaos but is really not divine.

his chaos is rooted in sex, snakes violating boundaries, revealing in their power.

destruction leads to a very rough road but it also breeds creation

and cobain can you here the spheres singing songs form station to station.

it's understood that Hollywood sells kalifornication

>>59119
>the root power of all magic in this level of reality though is causality.
The question remains: how is the specifically performed ritual that is written down in the historic text causally connected to the future event?

Why would putting a needle in a voodoo doll result in a physical change of the person's body? Why would the way the smoke of burning incense looks like tell me about the winning lottery numbers instead of something entirely different?

Don't get me wrong: I do believe that people believed - and still believe - that this sort of thing works. But frankly, there is very little evidence that supports it.

>>59275
all wisdom begins with submission to the gods.

all rituals like the sort you describe are appeals to the gods.

but i'm not very knowledgeable about the study of gods and god hood besides the fact they embody aspects of creation.

the only two gods I bother with are the SUNS Lucifer and Christ.

they are the only ones worth worrying about in my opinion.

my specialty is order magic, my current field of study is money, which is the dynamo of living power described by freemasonry in the higher degrees and is key to most magic, as money is the control of resources and life, and everything requires resources of some kind

"time IS money"

I certainly hope OP realises what sorts of crazy people these types of threads attract and vows not to start them any more.

>>59404
All esoteric/occult organisations attract very crazy people in real life too. Occultism and being mentally unstable go very well hand in hand.

>>59357
>my specialty is order magic, my current field of study is money
How about you give us some practical examples of what it is you do then.

>>57695
>>58795
Not a lot of people will admit to this but the whole "magic" aspect of this is something of a smokescreen designed to get rid of people who aren't ready for the complex philosophical concepts of the different occult or mystical traditions, particularly Hermeticism. The alchemical experiments and magical spells were, in my opinion, originally designed as a code for methods of mental expansion. People have gone on to actually try out spells and experiments with little success. The smokescreen worked, hence why the philosophical and religious aspects are rarely discussed. I think it's a great tragedy as occult and mystical knowledge could be of great benefit to society as a whole. The information is out there but you need to dig around if you want to know more. Research Hermeticism and buy some books if you're really curious.

>>59350
I don't subscribe to voodoo of the kind you are talking about

I do subscribe to quantum entanglement though... something to think about

In regards to the smoke, like I said, it's not what you look at but what you see.
the universe is information being communicated to itself via your consciousness and all events are connected.
once we event time travel all points in time will be happening simultaneously.

entropy will lead us to chaos and we will go back to order in the infinite cycal, but I really don't know what I'm saying

most people who preform "magick" tm, have no idea what they are doing and are not well versed.

>>59275
There was a mage and an academic, I forgot her name, who called advertising black magic.

Magic is defined by Crowley as a means for changing consciousness. It's really nothing strange. Some people consider all disciplines magic. Sacrificing goats might be an effective technique for changing a mind.

>>57844
Do you speak of the one eyed face?

>>59292

>>59456
>the whole "magic" aspect of this is something of a smokescreen designed to get rid of people who aren't ready for the complex philosophical concepts of the different occult or mystical traditions
I very much doubt that. The "magic" aspect makes it more attractive to gullible idiots. I very much doubt that the purpose of it is to ward off people who supposedly aren't "ready" for some higher knowledge.

>>59484
>Magic is defined by Crowley as a means for changing consciousness.
Magic has been around way before Crowley though so he's hardly the authority here.

>>58395
Hermes, what a man.
There's a few explanations for Thrice Great that I've seen thrown about.
>Master of all three mystical traditions - alchemy, astrology, theurgy
>He was a king, philosopher and priest
>He combines Thoth (the Egyptian god), Hermes (the Greek god) and his own philosophy into one being
A lot of his writings were discredited after the Renaissance because they weren't written when it was claimed they had been, even though they are still older than the Qu'ran and about the same age as the Bible. Some of them were later revealed to have been just as old as it was first claimed but some texts have been attributed to him that were written either by Greek or Roman philosophers living in Egypt.

Yes this might be due to strong magical link in the Aborigine group ego that metaphysically connects the body and Soul of the people to a single entity so that the Curse might be physically effective.

You do understand how ridiculous these claims sound? The story is 100% bullshit.

>If something is powerful enough to kill a person is it not real? But there are limits. Many cursed Hitler. But if you close your mind, none of this stuff can affect you.

Seems like those curses worked since Hitler certainly did die?

I've been on various Hermetic, Occult forums since 2004 laughing/calling out bullshit. I have read hundreds of different explanations why Magic/Magick is real.

I believe most of the occult practitioners are legitimately retarded.

Could you actually adress the point how the Aborigine curse may be effective? I am interested in your world-view.

Is there some metaphysical link that results from the Curse to the body of the cursed one?
Maybe the cursed is psychosomatically wounded and dies from a psychic shock?

I'm genuinely interested what kind of crack-pot-theory you are willing to offer for this one. Just asking out for the mechanics of action, please.

>>58764
Interestingly, there is an esoteric tradition different in character from the occult and mystery religion takes. The tl;dr of this kind of philosophic tradition of esotericism is that philosophers loved thinking, and hated social and political repercussions, so their texts are often written with a view to concealing those elements of their teaching that might get them in trouble.

It largely went out of style by the 19th century as a result of the success of the enlightenment esotericist projects (Descartes, Bacon, Spinoza, Hobbes, Locke, Machiavelli, etc.).

It's all just a game bro. To find the head of the giant, you must search a satellite image of eurasia. After you see it, you'll get attacked by "archons". It takes quite a while to get through the attacks. 2-3 months. The attacks are scary and it'll feel like you're in serious trouble. The Apocryphon of James has details on how to answer their questions. I didn't realize what was happening to me so I just argued with them. Luckily I prayed for my ancestors to help me and they seem to have gotten me through it. After the attacks end, you'll have visions of your self like a little child being washed by Angels. If I understand correctly, our free eternity starts when the game ends.

Just calling out you for your bullshit.

as for the archons and everything you said, the game doesn't end until

THE MAN
wakes up.

the way i've come to understand it is that it's a romantic way of looking at the world, where genuine belief in something can shape your perception of events, even if it has no objective basis. Everyone constructs an internal narrative of reality unique to their experiences. These guys take control of theirs.

Imagine you recently discovered that a good friend of yours were secretly attempting to cast spells which affect you negatively. Regardless of whether these spells actually have an effect on you, you would still be alarmed about it. You almost can't help but be worried that there is a chance something might happen from it, in addition to your frustration about his intentions.

Principally, intentions are the foundation of every aspect of our understanding of reality, and if what you presume is neutral forces might not be, then you'll be tempted to take control in whatever way you can.

The real magic is in your perception.

Have the psychedelics broken your brain? If you believe you are dying, you will die very soon.

That's hardly controversial. If you argue against that, you can go tell the scientific community placebo is not real.

dont give your pigs jewels bro
why would you expect anything worthwhile to be presented to you free of charge?

So a curse conducted in a mass ritual where the "victim" is condemned to die by a curse might kill him due to placebo effect?

How about a ritual/curse conducted on another continent of which the victim could not be possible aware of: do these curses work?

Do you believe in a metaphysical world beyond our own psyche that some magicians are able to access through rituals/meditations and are able to influence this metaphysical world to a degree that they could possibly kill someone who was totally unaware of this curse taking a place?

Teach us Your secret, Master! yap my Yahoos.

Then for the hardness of their hearts, and for the softness of their heads, I taught them Magick.

But... alas!

Teach us Your real secret, Master! how to become invisible, how to acquire love, and oh! beyond all, how to make gold.

But how much gold will you give me for the Secret of Infinite Riches?

Then said the foremost and most foolish: Master, it is nothing; but here is an hundred thousand pounds.

This did I deign to accept, and whispered in his ear this secret:

A SUCKER IS BORN EVERY MINUTE.

The "gods" made a deal with marduk. They set up this system we have now. If you face that one eyed giant, you can reestablish your connection with the the True God. By the way, the blessing that keeps getting passed around is for women.

I feel the need to one-up that picture.

Think of it like this...

in order for curse that powerful to work, you have to genuinely believe it will. If it didn't, either you fucked something up or had some doubt.

I know this sounds ridiculous because it is

>>60113
are you trying to be obvious?

>>60088
Who knows? You can probably affect people, but your mind and body work full time to keep you healthy.

Look at Sheldrake's studies on telepathy. I had some acquaintances repeat the phone one. It worked.

So if you have an open mind, maybe it might make you sick.

>>60157
I'm trying to explain what the real deal is. All the mystical nonsense is just that, nonsense. Go find the image of the one eyed babylonian head in eurasia and you'll have the key to the biggest mysteries in the scriptures.

It's true because a professor said it? I don't know if you've ever sat foot inside a university, but professors aren't exactly infallible.

Not to mention that I'd love to see the source for his claim that Abos can curse people to death.

Kind of bothers me this information is just thrown around and people can be unaware of future consequences.

>i'm sorry you aren't goona get a straight answer out of me
So you can't tell me what you're doing?

>go watch the anime "C control", 11 episodes, worth the watch, it's an introduction to this sort of thing for those seeking the path
So you learn magic from watching anime?

>>60491
that anime was made because I had it made.

you could learn something form it

>>60534
You had that anime made? How?

>>60491
Nee age learns magic online.

I used to do lowly magic and usually it has to do with either gain, sex, conjuring spirits, all for some guidence.

The problem is most people come on 4chan or Google and learn "magick" there, and learn about "new-gods" because they "need a little more" but can easily get carried away and trail off in their sorceries. Minor sigils, reading of occult writers, divinations, spell casting, will indeed help you but the caster at one point or another should just realize they were capable already to be in control of their reality without the use of magic, especially the low level evil that comes from Baphomet and not selfless devotion to God above.

Magic also is supposed to be an alchemical way to break through the matrix of reality as are many other approaches to spiritualy, until it became what it is today, so they say

>>60483
please...

>>60559
with money of course.

you wanna learn magic or not?

Lucifer is the god of this false reality

if you go for it be careful not to sell your soul, it can happen, taxes and all that.

>>60644
What you mean please nigga just saying many people can fall into a trap don't even lie everyone who does magic knows the risk involved, but not all do it for a good cause in one way or another, and most people today will use it for bad at some point in their lifetime.

The problem is most new age people don't consider themselves new age, and all the sudden become an "expert" in "occultism" that is just how today it is

>>60674
once you've watched this anime and reflected on it's lessons and secrets, I want you to read the necronomicon and I want you to investigate the church of the subgenuis and the books it offers

if you are prepared to walk down this path of course.

It's also something people "forget" they due and live on their lives like nothing happened until it happebs because the spell they cast, when you are not a witch you are yourself to every aspect.

I understand neutrality but something most people don't know at first glance is only to be revealed to them by experience, the happening of some sort
