>he advocates the likes of Crowley
>he thinks British occultists like Israel Regardie and Dion Fortune are shit (I think I might like her book on magical thoughtforms though when I'm done reading it, we'll see… and the psychic self-defence book might not turn out to be all that bad too but I have low expectations for it, it'll probably be underwhelming)
>he promotes ritual magick as a starting point into the occult when ritual really is to support a process and not the whole of the work
>he also likes RAW and probably Austin Osman Spare although I don't see you mentioning the later
>he never mentions Phil Hine as an introductory author, even though he's actually a pretty based introduction
>no mention of Hermeticism
>most of what you're promoting is post-modernist, existential, psychological, etc. based models of magick
>most of it also LHP, sex and drugs, degenerate magick
>no ascetic master race magick
>not that LHP is bad just the sex and drugs part, the killing and torture is fine

Get on my level.

This blog post claims that Dion Fortune worked to destroy the Third Reich during WW2 using magic:

If your referring to the sticky it's just a brief explanation of that mega upload file which is their solely for providing content to newbies, which I am myself; I requested this board so I saw it fit to provide it with some content I unfortunately I am not experienced enough to give a definitive guide. I'm less than a year into my study so please excuse any misguided advice, I'm merely looking to provide information for my peers.

Truth be told I haven't read most of the megaupload. I've never read Regardie, Fortune, or Phil Hine. I like Crowley's poetry, but I've never used his practical manuals. I've come to find the Temple of Set and it's sub schools have given me the best practical information for my particular interests.

What lesson plan would you recommend for a beginner Fringe Wizard?

What's wrong with Israel Regardie, Dion Fortune, RAW, and A.O. Spare?

Please don't use the occult as a getaway to validate your edgyness

And what would be wrong with RAW?

All the more reason to dislike British occultists.

That mega has a LOT more content than just what you described and I've been through it before.

>Temple of Set

>and all the other Satanic groups
>not watered down adulterators of other philosophies
>all they do is literally repeat the same shit except they substitute sinister words
>spirit for example becomes "black flame" and entities in general are usually just called "demons" and so on with the edgy word replacements (not that there's anything wrong with being edgy)
>Joy of Satan is just a combination of worshipping Lord Enki, some generic Satanist dribble, a big portion of the actual magick plagiarized out of the Hermetic writings of Franz Bardon, and of course lots of National Socialist Anti-Semitic Conspiracy which is nice but lol
>LaVeyan Satanism is euphoric (atheistic) and psychological, it should be ignored
>Some Theistic Satanists are appealing but still pretty pathetic
>Satanism as a whole is a joke and primarily consists of butthurt ex-christfags or people who want to piss off christfags

Did you even read? They take a mundane psychological approach, are post-modernist, watered-down, etc.

In addition I will say that Israel Regardie fills his writings with too much Christian biased fluff that isn't actually usable when he could cut down his books a lot to get to the essential core knowledge that makes things work – but he's seems to have missed the point in his writings.

RAW's writings were made popular during a really shitty time in history, namely, that period in which that worthless generation we know as the boomers was maturing and taking up its place in history as the generation that fucked over the world for everyone else.

Austin Osman Spare wrote some interesting things on automatic writing, automatic drawing, and sigilization you might want to look into if you're interested in any of that but I wouldn't rely on his writings alone.

Kenneth Grant sucks too, he's a worthless Thelemite… and AOS is mentioned as having had contact with Crowley for awhile (not a good thing to have in your record, anyone associated with Crowley should be put down in the priority list for study, and you will generally be disappointed by actually reading them).

If you want to read them like I did go ahead, it's an arduous task to read over and examine the texts of every occultist.

How about you go fuck yourself mundane? You wouldn't stand a chance against me in a magick battle. "The occult" is not some fucking group I join, my edginess is not validated by the occult, my edginess is just a character trait of the persona I have invoked at present. I'm an edgelord that happens to practise the occult. …and I don't give a shit if I hurt your feelings and stole your loosh again, I am Indigo Pill incarnate.

>inb4 the usual highly predictable whining on your part


>>104
Post-modernist, needlessly sceptical about everything and yet not sceptical about the important things, psychologist, believes the holohoax happened, etc.

Wait, what exactly is so wrong with psychology? My impression was that most of the occult authors that tried to give a psychological approach to their works did it mostly so that fedoras would leave them alone.
Also can't say I agree with RAW on a lot of things including the jews but Prometheus Rising was an eye-opener to me.

I just came to this board to agree with you on this, and now I'm out.

If you think it's "all in your head" or have any other self-limiting beliefs you fuck over your potential.

Thoughts manifest reality – self-limiting thoughts prevent you from crossing certain boundaries.

A psychological approach is dampening to magical power.

This huge edgelord.

RAW would agree with you. When he talks about it being all in your head, he really means ALL, in the hermetic way of the universe being mind.

He just had an idiosyncratic way of writing these ideas that was designed for the reader to come to their own conclusions.
