I had put this book off for a while, always realizing that the name sounded really cool and thus, must have something good in it right? Far cooler than something like “3 books of occult philosophy” right?

I don’t know. Maybe it’s just me, but I went through this whole book waiting for the juicy part to begin. I had been recommended and hyped up for years for this book and people’s mentions always included this thing and it feels a lot like the 1900s version of The Secret.

I’m sure it was a hoot at the time, and maybe a gateway book for someone who’s never considered anything might exist, but I wouldn’t even dare call this a basic or beginners book. It’s essentially best simply bait to the skeptical to read more into the subject.

Okay so I (23 male) have been practicing witchcraft for over 2 and a half years now.

I was around 13 years old at this time, me and my brother were walking on our way back home from a store not too far away from home. Christmas was only less than 2 weeks away so it was already dark outside. As we're was walking back home these 2 guys about the same age as me start running after me and chasing. They eventually caught up to me and knocked me to the ground and said they were gonna take me. I remember one of them kind of thrusting me against their private area and then somehow my older brother managed to scare them off. My memory of this is isn't as clear as this is all I can remember. We tried getting the police involved but of course the dudes lied and said they never did anything, and so they were never charged.

I've tried to find these guys on social media several times, but still haven't had any luck. When I do though I'm curious if I'd be a okay decision to curse these fuckers who wanted to rape me.

Hey y’all… this is something that I’ve been thinking about a lot why do curses on dictators never work? Is it because people don’t know what they’re doing? Or because it requires a lot of energy and dedication like it needs more than one person?

especially like current regime in Iran som people love it a lot hate it and feel oppressed by it

to my knowledge most dictators and dictator regimes are hated I’m not saying they have no fans but… they just always end up failing -like in Syria for example- which I believe is because of their narcissism and blind ego but maybe because of the hate that people might send them, after all of this I can’t but think that they too 100% either practice to shield themselves or have someone else doing the protection for them…

I always think of operation Cone of Power which required a lot energy and dedication and wonder if the same could be done?

Looking for a specific spell that sends me money every time my name is talked badly in a group setting.

Help me cope

Miss Jerdehl, the servitor of wealth from Tommie Kelly's Four Devils, has swiftly and efficiently completed one of the three tasks I requested of her. As part of her offering, I publicly acknowledge and praise her work. Would absolutely recommend working with her!

Tldr; asked for a sign, saw a half mumfied hedgehog that wasnt there before

Hi yall, ive been getting into witchcraft and the occult in the past six months or so. I never practiced any rituals outside of lighting candles and manifesting, I mostly just read about it. These past few weeks whenever I was in nature or even my backyard I felt some sort of presence, like how you feel when your cat lays beside you but I didnt think anything of it. Ive been curious about interacting with gods/spirits, and wonderd which should I try to reach (if I did ever decide I wanted to). Today I went for a walk in a tiny forest near my house, and as I sat down next to a big tree I closed my eyes and asked for something. I didnt really think what, just some guidance or maybe a sign. The moment I opend my eyes there was a half mumified hedgehog right infront of me that wasnt there when I sat down. Now I know its almost 100% my imganiation, but It wasnt in a place I couldve missed it. Idk if there are any gods related to headhogs, but im lowkey freaked out and wanted some insight if anyone has any Sorry for the yap and thank yall

Venus and Mercury retrogrades are wrapping up soon, and that means major changes in your love life, and communication are on the horizon. Being a tarot reader, everyday I see how this period of retrograde had affected people. I would love to know your experience with it.

Does anybody have any knowledge of how binding a wager is when made against you and the spirit world? Can someone be granted dominion over your spirit?

Does anybody know anything about Samael's valuation process?

I stupidly let Samael in physically 4 years ago, I am severely psychically oppressed 24/7 ever since. Does anyone have any advice on how to get free?

Can one get the same benefits from the bornless ritual as the Abramelin? Can someone perform the Abramelin operation successfully if they previously, stupidly, and physically let Samael in?

Hello, I have been working with Satan/Lucifer, Lillith and Baphomet and Aphrodite mainly. Recently the Universe has been giving me signs to work and worship Ra. Is this bad? is there any negative consequence to working with another being that is from a different culture? Does anyone have any experience in this specific combination?

Fantasy Bonds vs. Real Connection: The Venus-Saturn Split

This conjunction makes one truth impossible to ignore: not every relationship is meant to last. And not every connection is meant to be saved.

Fantasy bonds often arise when we confuse intensity with depth. When we’re addicted to the highs of being needed, seen, or validated—but ignore the emotional emptiness underneath. Venus conjunct Saturn slices through that illusion.

Been interested in the subject but found it's lacking in the book department so was wondering if anyone has any idea what I should look into.

Want to know everything including symbols, origins, and rituals. I find Djinns fascinating to read about.

I‘m currently looking for some kind of ceremonial garment, do any of you have an idea were I could look for something like this?

Does anyone have experience working with lesser known entities such as the Udug, Anzu, Hanbi etc.

I've been thinking a lot about the deeper occult significance of disguise, masks, and taking on identities that aren't just slightly different from my usual self—but radically opposite.

This goes beyond psychological roleplay or theatre. I’m interested in the esoteric and transformative potential of adopting a persona that is intentionally incompatible with my normal personality—like becoming a “wolf in sheep’s clothing,” not for deception, but as a ritual exploration of how malleable identity really is. This concept reminds me of ideas from Prometheus Rising and similar texts that stress how easily we can shift our reality by shifting our roles.

So, I'm looking at the why's and how's of adopting an extremely dissimilar persona. For example, a shy, sensitive person being able to effortlessly act as a boisterous, fiery type. Even having opposite belief systems. How can I learn this skill?

Hi, so im here to just look for advice on where to get started.

Im not really that new but this is the first time I've been interested in researching about it properly and stuff, so hope yall can give me advice where to get started

Title, I think the acknowledgement and questioning of beliefs whether new or old is important to building a philosophy or practice that is more sound. I find that people - maybe not specific to occult but to spiritual ideas in general - just end up soaking up things like a sponge without taking a moment to criticize, nitpick, or think about the ideas. They have no reasons to believe what they believe outside of that it has worked for another individual or that an individual has claimed it works for them; an appeal to authority in a way.

I have been doing a lot of meditation and reflection lately on the direction my life is taking. As a result, the idea of an ancestral cage/chain came up. Basically that me & my whole family are stuck in a regressive loop that we can't break out of. Most of our lives are "stuck" despite effort for change both magically & mundane.

Has anyone here ever come across this concept & how to deal/approach it? Open to any kind of advice. Thanks.

lately i have felt drawn to ceremonial magic rather than wicca and paganistic beliefs. i took a long break from occult due to messing with wrong things before my time, and nowadays i have beden reading and learning more on the history and the craft. have anyone read his books? what are your toughts?

In a previous post (that got removed by the mods though I’m trying to get it reinstated), I shared a video from Dr Angela Puca who in her field work, noted that a majority of magic practitioners do not believe magic has the capabilities of breaking the laws of physics but function more of probability manipulation. Conversely, there are practitioners who do believe in the possibility of miraculous magic eg. The yogic siddhis or Buddhist monks demonstrating supernatural abilities

Since my previous post elaborated the former position, this post will explore the latter position. Ancient texts record many instances of miraculous magic eg. Biblical miracles, Greek Magical Papyri, Catholic saints levitating etc. While there is a dearth of modern examples, I found 2 videos (linked below) from the YouTube channel “metaphysical”

The first video is about a man from Java called “Dynamo Jack” who was interviewed and recorded in a documentary series in the 1980s. Through his Chi energy, “Dynamo Jack” has the power to set things on fire, release electrical charges from his hands, healing powers, ability to phase objects through solids etc. He claims that his powers are accessible to every individual which he obtains through regularly practicing a meditative technique taught by his sect.

The second video is about a child who had the power to set things on fire with her mind or her words. She could also things on fire in advance apparently as well. However, the child claims that the fires are caused by unhappy evil spirits rather than being their cause,

If you have any other examples of miraculous magic, feel free to share them!

Hey friends, I've been studying western ceremonial magick for just a couple of years. I find that I'm starting to hit a kind of a stride with it. However, a lot of it has quite a judeo-christian kind of vibe. Nothing wrong with that, the rituals have been great. I just feel that using Hindu archetypes rather than judeo-christian / egyptian, would evoke a stronger sense of feeling and devotion in my practice.

Could anyone here suggest any resources for Hindu occult ritual? Has anyone here delved into those practices? Alternatively, has anyone here tried to modify common rituals like LBRP or Inv of the Hexegram, in order to reflect a different pantheon / flavor of archetypes?

Appreciate you. Thanks!
