Wow. Rarely does a post about a weird tattoo lead to something interesting. Thx Thoth.

>>18460709
Is this cult still around? Not finding much.

Every time someone asks about Acephale, I'm glad that I became a massive Bataille-fag.

If you want some of the underlying erotic mystical transgressive philosophy, you want "Guilty", "Theory of Religion", and "Erotism".

All in muh liberry.

The Bornless Ritual, also known as the Preliminary Invocation of the Goetia, or the Invocation of the Heart Girt with a Serpent, is often considered the proper preliminary invocation to the Ars Goetia since it was introduced as such by Aleister Crowley. Originally, grimoire magick did not include this particular ritual but routinely advised the magician (or "exorcist") to have a close bond to the heavenly powers before he meddle with demons (e.g. the Book of Abramelin, the Keys of Solomon, etc.).

As Stephen Skinner says, "The Bornless One" is nowhere mentioned, for instance, in his recent translation of the Goetia of Dr. Rudd, as the ritual is of Greaco/Egyptian origin. Skinner argues that the ritual is in fact an exorcism.

>>>"I summon you Headless One, who created earth and heaven, who created night and day [...] I am the Favor of the Aion; my name is a heart encircled by a serpent"
^From the Greek Magickal Papyri.

A similar formula is also used in Crowley's Liber Samekh for establishing contact with the Holy Guardian Angel.

Right, except you definitely haven't. Come on, /x/. Really?

dḥuti, or Thoth.

Fuck you, anon.
Not this symbol exactly, but images of headless men. It's likely I'm just noticing the images more now that this has burned into my brain.

>>18460732
I know, that's mine. Glad you're here.

You're welcome, anon.

Is your buddy with the Acephale tattoo, by any cosmic chance of coincidence, named Rowan?

>>18460877
Pretty much a standard-issue frequency illusion my dude. Been happening a lot more often since I first read about it a couple of weeks ago.

>>18460908
Nope
