Occult-It means “hidden”. Stop trying so hard to figure out the “How’s”, “Why’s” and such. The fact is, when it comes to Magic(k), most of it can be entirely chalked up to subjective experience, confirmation bias, “bat shit crazy”, or way far into the realm of superstition. Just admit that you’re a weirdo and get comfortable with it. If you’re in one of the many occult “groups” out there, just admit that you enjoy doing “strange things with weird people”. It’s OK as long as you’re not killing babies or fucking goats or some such shit. Remembering that will carry you far.
Beliefs– The things we “know” amount to a thimble of water as compared to the ocean when it comes to reality. No matter how enlightened you may think you are, you’re stupid in the grand scheme of things.
***Never Enchant for money. Money IS an illusion. It’s not what you want. Figure out what you REALLY want.***
If your “Occult Group” likes to get fucked up and have sex and call it magick…….you’re an idiot. Drink the Kool-aid, Douche-face.
If you’re some kind of “earth-based” pagan religion…..Live it, Goddammit. That’s all I ask. This ain’t Goddamn Dress-up. (if you want to know more what I mean ask)
***Don’t get me wrong. I ask the same of all religions.
Magic(k)–“the Science and Art of causing Change to occur in conformity with Will”. Interestingly enough, most of the people I’ve met in my life who seem to fit this description have never heard of Crowley, Regardie, Spare, Gardner, etc. etc. etc. Gotta make you wonder, right?
