A good place to start would be the Egyptian Book of the Dead, the translations of the Papyrus of Ani by EA Wallis Budge – http://www.sacred-texts.com/egy/ebod/

Getting ready to sign off for a while. Feel free to keep sending asks and I will answer them soon.
Is there a chance that you will be giving out spankings tonight?
Oh yes, spankings and sex magick.
And I have time for a few more asks
turntable: My Babylon
Will be hanging out in the turntable room for about 20 more minutes. Then it’s time for Beltane festivities.
You seem like a well adjusted person. How do you reconcile the might-is-right, sociopathic worldview of Thelema with your own altruistic concerns?
I don’t totally agree with your assessment, but I can how it can be abused that way. The short answer is, I focus on the second, often forgotten half, of the Law. “Love is the Law, Love under Will.”
Do as thou Wilt is much more complex than the Satanist, do as thou will. Crowley is talking about doing your True Will, and taking the time to find it. I believe if you find your True Will, you will be at harmony with the universe.
That all said, I am not a Thelemite, because I do take umbrage with some of Crowley’s own interpretations of the Law.
I’m autistic and suffer from great anxiety, which sometimes leads to paranoia. I have heard that being a magician can increase these feelings. Is there a way to avoid this, because I don’t need increased anxiety.
Don’t forget meditation. Practice yoga, and add transcendental meditation to your daily routine. This will help offset the anxiety from your other magick, and with time, even reverse it. This is what helps me anyway.
Have you met your HGA? Have you had its conversation? What was it like?
I don’t think I have. I’m not entirely certain it is necessary, but I have been getting curious lately. Peter J Carroll poopoos the idea, but I think there’s more too it than he realizes. If I stay in my current state of unemployment, I may undertake the operation.
