The rules are simple and only apply to the creation of threads on /fringe/:
1. No duplicate threads of topics that already exist unless the previous thread has hit the bump limit.
2. No making threads just to ask questions, actually present substantial information if you're going to make a thread.
3. No creating new threads purely to no-effort shitpost (you will be forgiven if it's a major GET).
4. Post threads that fall under the subject matter of /fringe/ (creepypasta FYI generally does not fall under /fringe/'s very broad subject matter, look at the sticky to see what subjects we discuss on /fringe/).

Alright, guys I am confused. I feel like this stuff is all real, all the occult stuff, because so many important people like government figures seem obsessed with it. I am interested in the occult, not the new age bullshit, but magic and stuff, but I am scared to try it. I still don't know if Christianity is true or not, and if it is true that means all this occult stuff is satanic, and I don't want to do anything satanic. So, is Christianity true? Is magic all evil?

 No.72317

>>72316

Read some WWA, then read some Christian philosophers, then read Nietzsche, Freud and Kant.

Then you decide for yourself.


 No.72323

>>72316

Just get your shit together.

Why does Christianity true/falseness confirm Occultism as satanic or not?

Why are you interested? Because "your betters" are obsessed with it?

Actually I'd say that most of the people here are indifferent or morally aligned with the original church's commandments.

You really need some backup before coming and speaking things that make you look like a fool…

Also question threads are not accepted in this page, go to the first sticky in the board.

You are incredibly brainwashed. Ignore that retarded Christian religion and its opposite Satanism both are wrong. Magick is about the mental nature of the universe and using the imagination to influence it. It works upon laws which are neutral in their nature and may be exploited by anyone with any intentions. The same power that heals is the same power that kills.

According to who? I don't know why anyone on /fringe/ would talk about debunked anything when the recommended reading list is nonsense to just about everyone. It's still an important read to get the full picture.


 No.72402

OP, I'm not some christian sheep but fuck these people and listen to me

demons are real, the occult can make you fall prey very easily to sins. the name Jesus Christ is the only name that demon fears

dont listen to these faggots here about jesus they'll tell you he's a kike but they're the kikes. Read KJV Bible and dont pursue satanic knowledge, augment your chi and healing powers.


 No.72412

Christian religion is occult to brah.

Get into the gnostic texts and figure out the truth of it all. Basically they want you to stay dumb and controlled so that is why the council of nicea banned that stuff early on. The real christian mysics were some powerful people. And the mysteries behind Jesus's true purpose are still shrouded from public view.


 No.72427

I'm pretty sure they fear pagan godforms too, like Tyr, Mars, Odin, Zeus, Thor, Baldur, Venus, Freyja, etc.

And yes, Jesus was a pretty cool guy, even if he wasn't Osiris, and Osiris is pretty fucking cool guy.

I highly doubt you've ever read Freud, you'd have to be completely retarded to believe in even the base assumptions of his theory (the anal phase etc)

http://socrates.berkeley.edu/~kihlstrm/freuddead.htm

>its still an important read to get the full picture

absolutely retarded, if I asked a toddler to write a book on psychology it wouldnt become necessary to 'get a full picture' and yet it would be just as correct as Freud would be.

the only value Freud has at all is in understanding the history of psychology a little better.

Try Joseph Benner's works. If you're too lazy to read there are audiobooks on youtube (you'll have to deal with the voice of threader however). Manly P Hall, the Kybalion, and some of Atkinson's books can still work with Christian beliefs. Remember to discern for yourself what is true and take everything with a grain of salt.

Also:

> giving energy to some thoughtform and not the real deal.

"Christianity" is bullshit. A Dark God usurped all your names and deities so thay you would only worship him.

Jesus was a good guy though, one that sought to spread word of a "good" path of love and shit… Your dark god still used his name though. The bible is half truth, half bullshit.

Oh, you'e one of those faggots who deny the OT?

Well tell me, how can Jesus be the real thing if the OT, which was all about preparing the world for his coming and prophesized it is bullshit?

If the OT is not true, the NT is also a farce, and Jesus is a liar. You cannot deny the OT without denying the NT.

You don't know a thing about what I believe or don't, faggot.

But I'll make one and only one attempt to explain, and you can either understand it or go fuck yourself, I hardly even care.

>The ancients were no dicks, they actually saw some shit and attempted to understand it. Their legacy, is myth, but seen from a different perspective, the truth has been distorted in ways we can't even begin to comprehend, therefore, truth becomes bullshit and disinformation just like the telephone game. And about Jesus and other folk, their message remains clear through all the bullshit: don't be an asshole, love more and evolve your consciousness.

And btw the OT was all about god being an asshole to everything not hebrew, murdering everyone else, treating Eve like a hooker and wanting people dead because "sinners"

Personally I believe in a form of atheistic occasionalism where no events or things are real or false and events or things do not cause one another but that events and things only are consistent with and not causative of one another. So to say that some deity caused everything would be wrong as the creation of everything would be an inevitable consequence of that deity's nature and that deity's nature would be an inevitable consequence of creation (if that being was indeed consistent with the universe.)

>The real christian mysics were some powerful people

Because they used the power of YVWH, as anybody can do. This doesn't prove that christianity is true, but more that hermeticism is true. YVWH is powerful due to the amount of energy he gets through worship and acknowledgement. The reason most banishing rituals evoke YVWH is not because he's all-mighty but because he is powerful and good.


 No.72712

all that edge ITT

OP, what you must ask yourself is WHY magick works if indeed it does.

For some answer, I would suggest looking to King Solomon, considered by some circles as an originator of Western magical practices and occultism. Basically, the story goes, he was seduced by foreign gods, but also bound demons to do his bidding.

As for the hows and whys, another question you may wish to ask yourself is, what is prayer, why if indeed it does work does it work, and how is that different from magicks.

>>72668

Also this. Very, very much this. One might also consider such pathways as Rosicrucianism, or why it is that the very foundation of Masonry is a Judeo-Christian template.

Frankly the fact that you all are mocking Christianity and discounting it speaks volumes as to OP's fears, and yes it is Satanic in thought and form if indeed it is practiced by people such as this. But the hidden keys are found as much in Gnostic Christianity as anything else, and furthermore, I find it laughable that you idiots are blasting Christianity which you likely do not even understand when this is the very basis for much of Western occult traditions. The Eastern mystical elements did not even permeate Western society until the 1960s.

> but because he is powerful and good

As in morally good or as in like get good?


 No.72714

>>72713

I should have elaborated on that. I'm not too well educated in how abrahamic religions relate. I call "God" "YVWH" because that is who jews worship, and christianity is based on judiasm. YVWH in judiasm, however, is a war god. But in christianity, God is peaceful.

I would avoid evoking God/YVWH just in case.

So I kind of meant morally good, but mostly "get good". He's very powerful due to mass worship, and can give indefinite energy (hence him being the basis of banishing)


 No.72715

>>72714

Let me put it this way: you kids should not be doing full bore magickal workings without some basic understandings of multiple systems, including in particular Christianity since you are mostly going on this stuff from a Western tradition afaik.

Try and have some understanding of it before you bash it.

The greatest magician of them all, by any interpretation, was Jesus.

Often it is said that a magus gains strength by adopting the image of a more powerful magus. Some will dress as Egyptian gods, or more powerful wizards, or the devil himself. You see celebrities do this constantly: they mimic previous, more famous celebrities to "steal" some of that essential spirit for themselves.

Logically speaking, the most powerful image to adopt would be Jesus. And to live your life following his example would imbue you with the greatest amount of power.

In other words, being a Christian is, in a sense, it's own sort of wizardry. In my own Christian spiritual life I have met people (rather ordinary people, to be honest) who have powers literally akin to what you read in comic books. Obviously this is rare, but it's probably more common than you think.

>including in particular Christianity since you are mostly going on this stuff from a Western tradition afaik.

I'd highly recommend everybody avoid western occultism and tradition entirely as most of it is worship and evoking of entities rather than improving yourself as eastern occultism does.

Dude i've started following Christianity not too long ago and my life is much better now it helped a lot more than the books in the reading list, though i feel that im not growing anymore. Could you tell us more?


 No.72809

I've been asking myself some philosophical questions on the meaning and nature of free will, the human spirit, and wondering about self determination and asking myself whether the christian God respects these things. And I dont think he does, or at least that's the conclusion I come to. I mean if we have free will and the ability to choose our own destiny then how can he have a plan for each human being? If we do yet he overrides such dreams and desires is he just? If he doesn't and simply builds his plans around our actions is he truly a god? If the case turns out to be we simply have an illusion of free will and we are simply delusional machines made of flesh is that not needlessly cruel?

I also have become, I hate to say confused but for lack of a better word I will,that christians are commanded not to hate but only to love. But how can one love without hate? Does one not hate that which harms what it loves? They are two sides of the same coin. Hate and love both give great strength to people, both burn incredibly bright and often incredibly long times.

Another thing that confuses me is how the devil in christian theology could rebel against God. He was an angel correct? They were not given free will. This implies one of two things to me.

1. That he developed free will somehow and acted against God in some way.

Or

2. He was essentially a patsy, a mindless drone made to do such things through no volition of his own.

If either is the case then is that not also cruel?

Perhaps I have simply gone mad, or perhaps I am a rambling fuel. But I must admit I find some aspects of the pagan faiths to be attractive to me morally and philosophically


 No.72914

>>72809

Shhh Shhh. It will all be alright, just have some faith, but I promise it will all make sense one day…

But to get there, it is necessary to give a leap of faith. To a world where you forget everything you think you know and notions of what you have known as a certainty from the beginning of your life crumble to pieces. To Know, first one needs to acknowledge one Knows nothing. There is what you think you want and what your true self wants, there is need, desire and whim, there is the spirit and there is the mind, there is Being and there is Ego. And there is Truth as there are Lies just like there is Knowing and there is Dogma.

Dogma kills the Mind and imprisons the Spirit. If you truly desire to Know, you must give yourself to the Void, release your baggage and clean your mind of programming and preconception. Only after that one can truly begin to grasp an Understanding of what everything is truly about…


 No.72993

>>72809

In Christianity, the Father is the All, the Son is some sort of Universal Higher Self and the Holy Spirit is ????

The journey is going through the Son to meet the Father. None shall come unto the father but through me. Paganism may sound nice philosophically and morally, but the actual goal of magic/spirituality isn't just the betterment of man in the moral sense, it's an actual, living, magical connection with God himself. That's the purpose of Christianity, and i don't know why people bash Christianity so much when the eastern monastic practices are very based (prayer, fasting, mental transmutation) maybe it got some bad reputation from all the Christians that make stupid Christ-chan memes, but oh well
