I'm talking about the prophecies in religions that describe an end of days. Applying it to the world today,could you call it a self fulfilling prophecy?

There are many motives why people get into the occult but what is your main reason?

Say if you had to decide today whether or not to get/remain into the occult for the remainder of your life (considering all the occult knowledge you have now) what would the most attractive/defining reason?

P.s: I’d love to know the initial reason why you got into the occult in the first place and whether or not that reason has changed.

I should probably already know this but im curious, would anyone per chance have rituals, practices, or anything to make a charm or anything that promotes or channels healing. Have a dear friend who sadly conventional medicine isn't helping so I just want to make something to help a little. If anyone could point me in the right direction I'd greatly appreciate it. Tha k you for your time!

I recently developed an interest in Orobas. I feel like ive spoken to him a few times and wanted to compare notes. Orobas is a calming and cold presence, i feel physically cold when he is near. He speaks of being an entity outside of time and the cycle of reincarnation itself. He has many names that describe who he is, who he used to be, and who he will be. He answers to them all. He calls those loyal to him his children and is protective. When asked why he resides in hell he answered "who better to give hope to, than the hopeless?"

To be honest, I an still unsure about demonology on the whole but i quite like orobas and bought a metal necklace of his sigil. As a predominant dabbler usually, i find myself quite committed to him. He is refreshingly different. What are your thoughts?

Am I the only one that gets upset when people say witchcraft doesn’t work or magick? Or “voodoo” or it isnt “real”

I'm not really sure how to even start articulating this but here it goes. Ever since I was little I have been seeing weird things. I am originally from Puerto Rico and a lot of people practice things like Santeria and a lot of other things I don't really understand. TLDR version being, I have identified most of my adult life as an atheist even though I've experienced what can only be described as supernatural phenomena. For the past year or so I have been feeling like there is something seeking my attention and I have no idea how to even address this.

I have been asking family friends who have experience in non-traditional practices and everyone just gives me really generic advice like you need to pray and some other stuff that really doesn't make sense to me. So is there some way for me to find out what I should be trying to do, who to speak to or even what or who is trying to get my attention?

Is this real? I saw a post about this and I'm interested, does anyone have any information about Magic with Dragons? I really wanted to delve deeper into this subject but I have no idea where to start studying.

i have a questions about solomonic pentacles? I bought a 4th pentacle of venus pendant back in Israel from a jewelry shop. How do i consecrate, activate and use it? It is a silver pendant with engraving.

I highly appreciate a simple instructions im still new to occult stuff and i wanna test it

We ended up on good terms, and she was very grateful to me. Only that the friendship ended with anxiety and misunderstandings, but I would like to recover it with some sigil

I was wondering if I replace the mantras from a language to another, would that affect how powerful the ritual is? does the power lie in the meaning or how the word vibrates?

Hey. I got a little dilemma now for a really long time already. I’m stuck between the LHP and the RHP. For example: I practiced the traditional LBRP (the golden Dawn version) daily for two months straight and I really liked the idea behind it. I certainly saw some improvements in my life. But I didn’t really felt comfortable practicing it further because I sympathise with the Left Hand path heavily and I don’t really stand behind the abrahamic approach of the trading LBRP. But I also don’t know if I really want to call upon Demons instead of archangels. I already tried being „in the middle“ of both and being a „grey witch“ (I modified the LBRP to only calling upon the elements instead of any entities or deities) but I want to chose a team. I either want to be 100% LHP or RHP. I already meditated on this and did readings on myself. I’m more pulled towards the LHP but something is still holding me back 🥲 how did you guys really figured out which path you want to follow? Has anyone here modified the LBRP to a version with demons? How has that worked for you?

And most importantly: should I just pick up the traditional version again and work with the archangels and the kabbalistic cross despite me not being 100% sure I support the system?

I’m so confused 😔 sorry for the long text. Hope to get some tips on how to see a lil more clear

I remember asking this question here years ago for the sake of discussion as it was an interesting subject at that time for me. Unfortunately, I only received humorous banter.

Looking back, it does have its utility. In Vajrayana Buddhism, for example, certain mantras are meant to be recited "under one's breath" so as to not disturb the beings near you, especially when working with wrathful mantras. Mantras also are generally not to be heard by the uninitiated except for certain, generally peaceful ones. This has been the most concrete one I found so far.

What about you, anything practiced in your tradition, system, or school that calls for a more quiet/toned down approach when doing them?

Not massively knowledgeable about the occult - appreciates a lot of occult/magick influenced fiction, sure, but even really an initiate into anything. I've been experimenting with the I Ching recently - I asked this question in that sub as well 0 have become decently proficient in calculating hexagrams and changes using both coins and dice, recently downloaded Wilhelm's translation, all that good stuff.

I'm curious how I can improve in interpreting the I Ching in a practical way - one article I saw for instance, describes identifying one person or topic or another as the subject of a hexagram, or one of several subjects.

Are any of you familiar with the I Ching and its practice? How do you learn to identify subjects and courses more effectively? How do you get better at identifying the Hex's meaning for questions that aren't about specific people or situations - i.e. asking the I Ching about a location?

Or is it not necessary, since it is something lighter?

Hello! I know that there are many people who value the books of Jacobus Swart, and as many people point out that they have been a great inspiration for the GOM books, but I am curious that I have never seen anyone tell of any experience of success with these books, in particular I would like to use "the book of sacred names"

I've started my journey on the goetia path a couple of months ago with studying the keys of solomon, but i don't think it is the right fit for me as the method seems kind of harsh on the spirits. What are some other grimoires i should look into? I would also appreciate book recommendations on other topics that would help me with my goetia journey.

Hey everyone, I'm looking for recommendations on where to buy a healing talisman for my health, specifically with Mercury/Archangel Raphael energy.

I was considering making one myself, but I don’t have the capacity to do so right now.

I’m specifically looking for individuals who create these using the correct materials, planetary days and hours, moon phases, etc. Thanks!

So I have astral parasites, I'm clairvoyant and can see them with my third eye as well as feel them physically. I've been dealing with this issue for 2 years and nothing I do seems to work. I've never done the LBRP (lesser banishing ritual of the pentagram) but I'm studying it. Can negatives come from it and how effective is it, as in how often do you have to do it to get rid of things like astral parasites?

I really want to remember it’s driving me crazy, unsure if occult or pseudoscience psychology stuff.

The only reference I can find to it is in a book called “The Book of Charms and Talismans” by Sepharial, (the earliest printing of which that I can find is from 1950, although the book itself has to be older since the author died in 1929) where it’s called “The Seal of Great Prosperity.”

The thing is, that almost certainly isn’t where it originated, as it looks remarkably similar to the “figure of a Circle for the first hour of the Lords day, in Spring-time.” from Peter de Abano’s Heptameron from 1558.

I’m just curious since I bought a talisman that has it engraved on the reverse, and I can’t find a fully legible illustration of it or an explanation of what’s written on it anywhere, which automatically makes me want to find out what it means.

The only bits I can make out are “Arcan Rex” (seemingly an Islamic demon or Djinn) at the 2:00 position, and “Bileth” at the 4:00 position, with “Bileth” likely being an alternate spelling of the demon Beleth, and “Abusapha” at the 10:00 position which I can’t find any meaning for whatsoever.

Also, while my Hebrew is extremely rusty and that font is strange, i’m pretty sure the Hebrew word at the 10:00 position is איחים or “brothers” but I could be wrong.

It just seems odd that Beleth’s name (assuming that’s even what it is) would be on a seal associated with prosperity on the reverse of a talisman meant for health when to my knowledge he isn’t usually associated with either health or wealth/prosperity.

Any information on it would be much appreciated!

I recently started collecting old Bibles. Have about 4 now.

I got one, 330+ years old, which has some interesting and not sure how convenient signs.

The bible has many marks, as expected from a heavily used book, spots, and a few places were I found some compresses dried flowers, body hairs, a dark red mark (like the one done with a finger).

All other books I have feel very pleasant, but I struggle to feel this one. And when perceive something it leans toads a heavy or hash feeling. It does not put me off, but it is definitely different.

What do you think about this bible? Do you think it may have been used for some sort of magik. If so, how convenient/inconvenient could it be to keep it? Any way of clean the energy of it, if that was a good thing to do

Aside from the spiritual development opportunities that occult practice offers, my primary interest is in how I might be able to use it as a tool to browse the akashic records–so to speak.

I'm inspired by figures like Issac Newton and Nikola Tesla who, among others, derived inspiration from occult/esoteric practice or study.

Much of the information I've found myself so far about remote viewing, divination, etc. involve rather vague translating of symbolic information from the astral to the physical. And im wondering if anyone here might have any advice or suggested reading for getting more structured or specific information out of the aether.

Concepts like servitors or tulpas seem like a possible intermediary tool of use here, but I wonder if that's the most efficient or practical way to go about it. I was hoping someone here might have some experience or knowledge regarding advanced divination, or something along these lines.

For a little background, my career is STEM adjacent & I have a lifelong passion for the learning of the natural sciences. I'm autodidactic, and the internet has made my self study easy for the past 20 years of my life. I'm also a tinkerer, and dream to be an inventor.

When my self study exposed me to the occult I became fascinated. Not only for the spiritual/philosophical gains available, but because magic & the concept of "akashic records" honestly seems like a cheat code. It makes a logical sense to my intellect that infinity already exists, and in an idealistic universe there ought to be a method to find desired information.

For example, I'm interested by the life of Tesla & the myths regarding lost/hidden patents and suppressed discoveries. Pulling threads in the physical realm only gets you so far, and I wonder if I couldn't find an occult practice that would enable me to "Google" my questions on God's multiversal internet.

Thanks all. Let me know if I can clarify anything.

I’m probably so late to this but I always knew they were practicing stuff during colonial times but this painting from the ceiling at the Capitol confirmed it. Like how deep does this go? I would loooove to learn about the history of the colonies and what they practiced

Recently went back to the rabbit hole of occultism. Had to stop for a while because I needed to focus on university but I will say my life has never been the same since discovering occultism.

Recently came across Rosicrucianism, what is it exactly?

Oscar Tusk has a few books published through Troy Books https://www.troybooks.co.uk/oscar-tusk/

I also saw he has a new book coming out regarding necromancy, which prompted me to do a bit of research into the guy. He states on his website that he is part of the “Coven of the Black Sun”, knowing that the black sun is a nazi symbol, I guess my question is does anyone know if this guys a nazi, and if he’s not are his books any good?

Thank you Seer for assisting me in getting a job offer. I received a job offer within a few days of my ritual. I I highly recommend working with seer.

I’ve had my fair share of interactions with entities. Thought forms, spirits, demons, gods, ghosts, we all know they’re the same thing. And they’re made up of the same substance as mind. That much I know. What I don’t know is if this continues on for god knows how long after death. Is Nirvana the void? Is that the point? Does the universal mind reverberate infinitely? I suppose both things have their “bright side”. On one hand, we can have fun as disembodied beings I guess, creating eternally (until heath death comes). And on the other hand, evidently no one actually wants to exist forever (or at least for eons). The souls who haven’t returned to the void, and are stuck near this dimension, are suffering immensely. I’ve seen them. I’m guessing it’s what folks would call “hell”. Unfortunately they keep sucking us into that predicament too, and I understand that, they want justice because too many souls have been catapulted into the afterlife ahead of their time, or in horrible, cruel ways. Can a soul choose to torment another soul? When cruel people die, do they feel everything, including the pain they’ve caused? Oblivion is a reward and a relief.

Greetings. I share with you an interesting find. I'm very interested in why this was done. At the exit from the Moscow metro station, someone drew the Dagaz rune from the Elder Futhark on the city map. Can anyone guess why this is? I am attaching a photo.Does anyone know what's the point of doing this? P.S Have a nice day everyone
