I'm already there with you buddy.
I just feel like I need something more concrete before I can commit myself to believing in life after death.
I mean, I know that's pretty impossible, but I figured I'd get other people's takes on it.
What are some of the best Lovecraftian mythos facts you know?

i don't know why but I am obsessed with the concept of immortality. I am not afraid of death, I'm just really fascinated with the concept of living forever and/or for a REALLY long time. Do you guys think that science to increase the length of one's life by maybe thousands of years or even more?

I believe that reincarnation is the correct theory.
First I need to assume a few things:
The Universe is a completely isolated system, this assumes that the Multiverse is not actually real.
Consciousness is purely a physical property, and once the system allowing it gets destroyed, it gets destroyed as well.
The end state of the Universe is Heat Death, not any other theory.
The Universe will at some point stop it's expansion or otherwise slow it to a negligible point.
If all of these are correct, once you die you will completely lose the ability to perceive space or time, and as thus the next thing you will experience (potentially) will be another existence in which you will most likely be completely unaware of your previous existence.
You're not going to be immortal in our normal sense, but really it doesn't matter.

I figured out this technique to power up myself and it changes everything. Everybody reacts to me differently, I can change my entire life. I can be the cool popular guy if I want. The problem is that I have been a lonely nerd my whole life and im afraid of the big change. I am able to turn the high energy off easily but its hard to turn it back on afterwards. So I have to commit to it the next time I take the time to actually turn it back on. Since I was kind of a loser my whole life im afraid of the change that will come. Even though it is all going to be 'positive' changes it is still scary how much everything will change. My life wont be the same anymore and I will probably lose some small things that I enjoyed before. There is a part of me that is very much ready to let go and change but another part of me is so afraid of success. See the thing about failure is that you can always go back and try again, but success is permanent you can never go back.
What would you do if you had the same ability? Would you be afraid of your whole life changing?

Oh, yes. Keep putting it off long enough and one day you wake up with the realisation that it isn't going to happen this lifetime. You will never be what you thought you wanted to be or could be. You've been sidelined, put on hold to minimise your effect on the world. Now, it's just riding it out and trying to scratch a living until you die.

hey /x/ I have a few questions about sigil magic first how do you charge the sigil? Creation goes something like this iirc
>Write sentence like "I want big dick" on a piece of paper
>Cross all vowels so all i have left is "wnt bg dck"
>Cross all repeating consonants but i dont have any so its still only "wntbgdck"
>Make a sigil out of those letters
>Charge it and then burn it i guess?
So how exactly do I charge it? Also should I use english or my native language? How specific should I be? I mean what is better? "I want a big dick" or "I want my dick to grow 5 inches in lenght"? Of course im not gonna use sigil magic for dick growth its jut an example

This is Tim Byrne
My friend and I found this mentally unstable man name Tim Byrne who constantly uploads videos in the same fashion as the day before.
He has been making these videos for about six years.
The content is almost always the same, him talking about his house, his auditions, his stuffed animals, his mail and sometimes and the events that happened out of the ordinary routine.
We found out he was an actor and graduated from the University of Sterling in 1988. It seems like his mental illness has progressed as now mental healthcare professionals are trying to contact and evaluate him.
The whole channel and online presence is a real peak into the mind of someone really deranged and its worth investigating.

HAHA
It's not just a fictional thing or a saint for drug cartels.
Santa Muerte manifests to people, sometimes giving them a second chance.
She's not just a 'grim reaper' her tradition is like praying for the best good death leaving the most honor and good fortune for your family.
People ask her for miracles in all areas of life.

I know, it was a joke, hombre.
But you should tell us more instead of just posting a subject.
How much of this could be based off reality?
I've been reading on the legend and it's really fascinating. The fire breathing does seem to be a creation of the penny novels for interests sake, but reading the reports and sightings I really believe Londoners were seeing someone or something leaping over impossible heights, molesting women and slapping guards then flying away.

Magic According to Alan Moore

Hi /x/. /co/mrade here. I'm trying to understand "magic" as practiced by dank writer and beard gardener Alan Moore. The way he describes it, the act of writing a story can be a magical working to affect the outside world, because magic and language are closely linked (or aspects of the same thing) and our reality is made up of language and symbols. The word "grimoire" has the same root as "grammar".
People claim certain of his comics are magical workings; he wrote V for Vendetta about a subversive movement of people in Guy Fawkes masks, then a handful of years later that actually happened in the form of Anonymous (right here on 4chan). Life imitating art.
He also worships a snake-god he knows to be a hoax, for symbolic reasons. Deities could be an example of the story-as-magic phenomenon; they have no observable existance except as stories, but the idea of them has real effects on the world and its history.
So, what kind of magic is this? I don't necessarily believe it's "supernatural", but some way of manipulating iconography or memetics. Does anyone here know about or practice it?

Good topic, but many on /x/ won't grasp it, or care to.
You may be interested in the Norse rune magic system-- the idea with that is that writing is a divine act; because when you write, you create.
Ansuz, the rune that belongs to the chief god Odin, is the rune of such writing, communication, and the like. Sponsored by Odin himself. Sort of a big deal.
In the ancient world, literacy was rare (and even in modern times, is very rare), and so the act of creating via words was considered a sacred talent. The more eloquent, the better. Which is a reason why Odin was known as a patron of bards, poets, and the like.
You're on to something here-- so I'd suggest looking further into the subjects of rune magic (for writing-based magic); Hermeticism (for the idea of working with a false snake-god for symbolic reasons); and further, chaos magic, though watch out for the community. Remember that chaos magic is basically post-modern hermeticism by another name, and be discerning, and you'll be fine.

Alan Moore's "FROM HELL" had a fascinating ritual idea in it.
First though I want to point out the fuckin' Depp movie of the book sucked ass and all it really shared from the book was the title.
Second, on the surface "FROM HELL" seems to be pushing various Masonic/Illuminati explanations for the murders, yeah it talks A LOT about them, but personally I don't think that's the magic part of the work.
Moore in a few brief pages of the huge work has a guy murder someone and then get transported to a different reality. It is out and out saying ritual murder is as powerful as drugs to get you outside yourself, it's a bloodlust/rush way to drug yourself. That's some hairy practice there. But think of it, why have so many religions with blood rituals, because it freaks you out, takes you elsewhere.

>Excuse me but what is chaos magic?
Chaos magic is a type of occult practice that emphasizes results over dogma. Practitioners weave their own magical practice out of any philosophy and religion and belief of their choosing. It is the natural state of magic and has long been the secret of many famous magicians of the past. If you are interested in learning more, I suggest reading Liber Null & Psychonaut (link: https://zalbarath666.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/peter-j-carroll-liber-null-psychonaut.pdf )

hey /x/ so im going to start from the very beginning of this shit
>about a month ago my mother frantically called me over to her room because she heard something like the mix of dry gurgling and the grunge,i just brushed it off and said she must have just imagined it because she was half asleep.
>may 8th i was siting on the cough next to my cat and i hear a sound that is like the grunge for about 2 seconds, i simply brush it off as my cat having a weird tummy sound
>yesterday the exact same thing happens and i respond the exact same way
>today a few hrs ago i'm in the bathroom changing and i hear the mix of gurgling and the grunge again,i knew my cat was in the kitchen before closing the room so i know my cat is not in the bathroom with me,i quickly get dressed check the room for my cat or if anybody is in there,nothing at all and i leave the room to see my cat is in the kitchen still asleep so it could not have been him
>VERY scared and shaken i go to my mother and tell her what just happened she jokes that i'm being haunted and we both laugh it off,5 SECONDS LATER AND NOBODY BUT HER AND I ARE IN THE ROOM NOT EVEN MY CAT AND WE BOTH HEAR THE EXACT SAME SOUND AGAIN BEHIND ME,i quickly turn on the lights and look all around the bed and outside her room,nothing,after making sure the house is safe i come back to talk to her about it and she tells me that the same sound she heard a month ago.
ill update this further if anything happens again i'm just really scared if something is haunting me
