Don't forget Hillarys books

Hey deadalus, quick question here: how does all of this compare to Luciferianism and left-hand path kind of stuff? I started reading some of the latter, but I found them to be so ridden with grammar errors that I wish Satan were an English teacher. Perhaps the most decent book I found was Anton LaVey's The Satanic Bible, but so far I am finding it too down-to-earth to quench my thirst for the exotic.

By the way, do you have an English translation for the Liber Azerate? I have the original in Swedish, but I have not learned Swedish yet.

Despite the name, LaVeyan Satanism has nothing to do with summoning occult beings as in GP's post. The latter (as with worship of the devil more generally) would instead be comprised under "Diabolism" which is very much a niche pursuit. It's even hard to tell if what looks like Diabolist practice isn't something subtly different, and more like the Voudun practice of summoning some "negative, dark, powerful" archetypal beings who are however quite recognizably different from any "devil". Heck, occasionally even something as basic as worship of the god Cernunnos (a very recognizable archetype of nature and the "male" principle) gets conflated by some with Diabolism.

I see, thank you for explaining, that should guide my future reading. Looks like I hadn't gone dark enough yet.

[deadalus]

Most of the authors I linked here are not linked with Luciferianism. They deal with occult 'rituals' in order to gain a certain result - wealth, love, happiness, destruction of enemies, getting more opportunities. So you can expect to find a lot of rituals that aid you in getting those results. The work is not philosophical or analytical - but result oriented.

Here is the link to 'Liber Azerate' in English : https://gateway.pinata.cloud/ipfs/QmUHcdL7U78k1FiQbh5aC4JKVf...

And here is the link to 'Liber Anaxeiraxz'(another good book) - https://gateway.pinata.cloud/ipfs/QmT7m33x9munihmnAXxqth5mWP...

> wealth, love, happiness, destruction of enemies, getting more opportunities

One should be aware of the fact that these things can be pursued quite effectively with no need for seeking out or confronting any malevolent beings or forces, and this will generally be an easier and more fruitful approach, at least for the novice practitioner. It's very rare that even one's outwardly "selfish" goals are not far more amenable to a positive approach which can implicitly leverage the "loving kindness" that's inherent to the universe according to many practitioners of magick and similar pursuits-- relying on it as a key regulating, stabilizing and harmonizing principle.

Fantastic, thank you for the links.

That LaVey guy seems to be a quack who's appropriating Eliphas Levi's thoughts to give himself credibility, so why not to just read Levi's books?

Please please please for God's sake stay away from this stuff. It will steal your mind and your soul. This isn't something one can innocently dabble with. Turn to God instead, He will hear you.

I thought I sold my soul to Satan for unfathomable worldly power, but accidently sold it to Stan, Certified Public Accountant[0] and then had to make so many calls to CityCorp to my soul back[1].

I accidentally sold mine to Santa.

Im assuming that's how he gets his elves.

At least there will be hot cocoa.

We're not "innocently" dabbling with it, we're all experts here on HN.

[weare138]

I hope you're being sarcastic and don't actually believe in this crap.

[nashashmi]

Well said.

This article did not go over much of the problems with this stuff.

Demons are notoriously child like creatures. Once summoned they will have the human try to put themselves in some position that they believe to be humiliating for the human. They hate the human for being naturally innately better than them even if less powerful.

The article does not go over some of the acts humans are made to do. It’s quite disgusting and vile. It does not go over the nature of demons. It’s quite pathetic. There is zero point in trying to dabble in this. Unless you believe your life cannot get any worse than it is. Occult will help you realize how bad it can really get.

[selimthegrim]

I understand you can trap them in a iron pot, from what I vaguely remember people telling me in Karachi.

Edit: unless I’m confusing this with the flying pot at night?

[nashashmi]

Haha. But this is no joke. Normally demons live in a separate universe and stay to themselves. Interaction with animals can occur. But unprovoked interaction with human is rare.

[kome]

ok, cool, now i want to try, thank you!

[dominicjj]

Amen brother. Not to be messed with.

[zozbot234]

My question is why would anyone want to deal with this stuff. If you're relying on this silly material, you clearly don't have the faintest idea what you're doing - in all likelihood, you'll just end up "summoning" lots of random mischievous spirits who'll be trying to have fun at your expense in weird and surprising ways until you finally learn how to banish them properly. There are plenty of other ways to get started with occult and magick that don't have this particular pitfall!

[mimixco]

Well, you had me at the first sentence but lost me at the second.

Bertrand Russell said it's all "the random collocation of atoms." As far as anyone can tell, the meaning of Life, The Universe, and Everything is quantum physics. It explains all of the concepts currently attributed to both the physical and "spiritual" worlds.

Many religions acknowledge that there is no dichotomy between the physical and spiritual forms of experience. There is only one thing. If that's the case, the one thing's name is quantum physics. We can puts lots of other names on it from chance to déjà vu, from "bad behavior" to Beelzebub, but it's demonstrably the random collocation of atoms and probably not much more. Unless it's The Matrix, lol.

cough, cough:

Dragon Rouge is a global, independent, graphic design, branding and packaging agency that ignites brands and propels them forward since 1984.

That's a different group unrelated to the occult. This is the one :
