holy-mountaineering, most of the ban effects on esoteric censorship seem to be happening in the UK right now, not over here. However other models of government as I understand it are looking at this censorship model for potential uses in their countries, such as Canada and Australia.
There are…

Excuse my ignorance, but holy fuck I personally had no idea the US and UK were actively trying to block occult sites. Which ones have they tried to block and where can we find more info?
oh shit shit shit
ummm
it may be a little oversimplified but it’s a good starting point to get what’s actually going on
like scrollofthoth, I am pissed off that the world is terrible. But probably for very different reasons from scrollofthoth. But we both have pretty good reasons and this is a good reason to be pissed off and also read scrollofthoth’s post on Activist Magick. This would have a lot to do with that.
Magicians need to keep their eyes on earthly matters just as much as they should spiritual ones. It’s the duty of the strong to protect the weak, and it’s the duty of the magician to be in contact with the suffering and injustice of the world lest he a) believe he has found perfection and stops looking for it or trying to attain it and b) gives back nothing and therefore fails one of the most defining qualities for a successful Great Work.
And quite frankly magicians should be the last people letting their spirituality cloud their awareness of the world the way a lot of exoteric practices tend to. The entire point is to clear your vision of reality.
Designed my circle today. It’s based on symbolism used in the LBRP and the LBRH. It also includes the planetary symbols on the hexagram, as well as the elements on the inner pentagram. Probably gonna draw it onto a sheet or a flat piece of cardboard, using corresponding colors.
I just notice while typing this up that the god names are in the wrong places lol, I guess I had it facing the wrong way when I drew them in. Gonna fix that before I make the real thing lol
I might also add the Hebrew versions of the names and all that, I’m terrible at writing in Hebrew lol.
May I make the suggestion of having everything be concentric such that everything will appear as it should if you face in a particular direction? Also, if you are of Golden Dawn inclination, replace the planetary signs with the corresponding letter. Also the concentric design will make the crosses seem aesthetically nicer, but also have the logic of descent; I make the suggestion to make them Templar crosses, or Jerusalem crosses, because of the idea of “balance” in the forms.
Thanks for the suggestions 😀 I had it all lined up for if you were facing East. I just put a few things in the wrong place without noticing at first, and a few other things were just inspired in the moment haha. It’s just a first draft really so I’m going to change some things and put the circles in a more logical order before the final design.
