Occult fiction

I'm looking for fiction to read over the winter. I was listening to an episode of "What Magic is This?" And Doug had mentioned an apparently excellent fiction series but I can't find the episode to recall the name of the novel.

Anyone have any insight into occult fiction?

Questions about the Ars Goetia by a non-practitionner

Hello people ! I hope you are all doing good ! I plan on erasing this post in a few days after getting some answers.

A while ago, I found myself initiated to the world of the occult by a bunch of friends. This started for me as just a source of inspiration, but I managed to fall into it.

I was never a big practitionner though. I do tarot cards from time to time, I have a set of runes, meditated and I have tried to communicate with spirits via cards (stopped after possibly attracting negative energies that are now long gone). Because of my studies, I nearly stopped all practice, but I remain a polytheist (despite my strong love for science).

As such, I always kept a bit of a curious eye for the occult and very recently, I planed on getting the Ars Goetia. I mainly just plan on reading it because of my own curiosity, and to draw some inspiration from it, as I like to draw a lot. I have already drawn a character based on Glasya-Labolas in the past for a dark "Alice in Wonderland", and was interested in reading more.

But... Here's the part that bugs me. I want to read that book, but don't want to cause any problems. Part of my mind tells me I cannot just summon demons/spirits/energies by just opening and reading an Ars Goetia book, but another part of my mind is stressed that I am too innocent and that I should ask to be sure.

So I have a few questions :

  • Does the act of reading the Ars Goetia, even without practicing invocation, can attract things ?

  • Does that presence of the Ars Goetia itself have an impact on its surroundings ? (My family house has really good vibes, same as my appartement, and I wouldn't want to ruin it by accidentally calling in bad stuff)

  • Will I, as a non-practitionner, become a "target" for entities and such ?

  • Am I just paranoïac about all this ?

I want to emphasize that I am a convinced polytheist, but I also tend to rationalize a lot of the things that happen around me (makes no sense, I know ; my brain somehow makes it work). The friends that introduced me to occult said that the Ars Goetia had to be read and then immediatly burned after that (they had some... Questionnable experiences about this kind of stuff), and even if I find that all weird, I think my brain is conditionned in some strange fascination/fear of the occult.

Could you guys please help me ? Sorry for long post, and thank you in advance ^ ^ !

An astrologer read my horoscope,

Hi guys, I need your advice as I feel a bit lost. So a few years ago a karmic astrologer read my horoscope and she told me a lot of things. It also included that I have strong bonds with occultism and I need to find what’s that. I know there is something, but I don’t know exactly what and I really want to know where to start. Weird but I feel very close to animals and plants, I also believe in reincarnation if it counts. Also I feel like I can read people so easily, like I just meet them and I already know how they are. Could you please help me? Thank you guys in advance!

Public praise for Prince Seer

I want to publicly praise Prince Seer. A close relative of mine was facing a financial problem that could have been very expensive. I asked Prince Seer for help and as I did, I saw him in my mind in the form of a Greek god. He made the problem go away within three days, completely fixed. He is powerful and fast. I thank him and recommend him. I used the book Demons of Magick by Gordon Winterfield.

Artificial Beings

Maya got into a four-wheeled chariot that was entirely made with gold, as broad as twelve hundred cubits that voyages through difficult routes in space, water, or earth, well-equipped with outrageous weaponry, that stood high among all the best chariots. The rider’s cabin merits comparison with a mountain, assorted with numerous artificial beings and stockpiles of many celestial missiles.

Having said this, Somaprabha opened the basket and showed to her some very interesting mechanical dolls constructed by her magic, made of wood. One of them, on a pin in it being touched, went through the air at her orders and fetched a garland of flowers and quickly returned. Another in the same way brought water at will; another danced, and another then conversed.

Somaprabha said, “King, these magical contrivances and machines were created by my father in ancient times through various ingenious methods. Just as this vast machine we call the world is composed of five elements, so too are these devices. Allow me to explain them one by one.

The machine dominated by earth is capable of shutting doors and similar objects. Once sealed with it, not even Indra himself could open them. The shapes created by the water-based machine appear to be alive. The fire-based machine produces and emits flames. The wind-powered machine can perform actions such as movement, coming, and going. Finally, the machine derived from ether is capable of producing clear, spoken language.

All of these marvels came to me from my father. However, the wheel-machine, which guards the water of immortality, is a secret known only to him and no one else.”

Below is the description of hall of illusions constructed by Maya.

Maya, the Asura architect, brought jewels from Lake Vindu and created a crystal surface that looked like a lake. Seeing the artificial lotuses on it, I thought it was real water. As I lifted my clothes to cross it, Bhima (Vrikodara) laughed at me.

Later, I came across a real lake filled with water, but I mistook it for a crystal floor and accidentally fell in. Bhima, Arjuna, and Draupadi, along with the other women, laughed at me again.

Another time, I tried to walk through something that looked like a doorway but wasn’t an actual passage. I hit my forehead on the stone and hurt myself. Nakula and Sahadeva saw what happened from a distance and rushed to help me. They held me up with concern, and Sahadeva, smiling, said, "This is the door, O King. Go this way!" - Duryodhana describing his experience of the hall of illusions

Tripura and Hiranyapura were flying cities constructed by Maya.

Robert Svaboda in the below video on youtube states most UFOs are from Asuras.

The Eagle's Message: A Cosmic Sign for a Vet's New Chapter

I had an experience the other day that felt like the universe was speaking directly to me. As a Veteran dealing with PTSD, I've been on a rollercoaster of self-discovery and healing. Lately, I've been wrestling with my place in life, my status, and where I'm headed next.

Then, out of nowhere, an eagle swooped down right above me. I could hear the powerful flap of its wings, and for that moment, everything else faded away. Instead of the usual anxiety, a wave of calm washed over me. It was as if the eagle was a messenger, a sign from the cosmos, telling me I'll soar again.

For those of us who've seen our share of darkness, these moments where the veil between the mundane and the mystical thins can be profound. This eagle wasn't just an animal; it felt like a manifestation of energy, a symbol of rebirth and ascension.

Here's where I throw it to you:

Animal Totems: Have any of you had similar encounters with animals that seemed to carry a message or energy for you? What did they signify in your life? Cosmic Energies: How do you interpret these signs? Do you feel that as we heal, we become more attuned to the energies of the universe? Healing Through Symbolism: For those dealing with trauma, how have symbols or signs from nature or the occult helped in your healing process?

I'm curious to hear if anyone else has felt the cosmos aligning with their personal journey, especially in times of transition or recovery. Let's share these mystical moments and perhaps find inspiration or guidance in each other's stories.

Best Book for a good Magick Correspondence List?

So for those who have used more than one book’s list of correspondences (or if the only one you use or have used works extraordinarily well), which book’s list did you find most effective for the use of magick?

Which book and its list gave you the best results?

What results have convinced you that the system from that book worked for you and would recommend to other people for their work?

Books on Different Denominations in Christianity and their Relations to the Esoteric?

Are there any academic books (or ones with many citations) which study how different denominations of Christianity digress from the "mainstream American" (probably Protestant possibly Evangelical) religious norms in regards to folk-ways, Magic and the Esoteric? Something to the extent of covering a range of subjects from Santa Muerte veneration among Mexican Catholics to debtera and (banned in other denomination) Books of Enoch (and other esoteric literature) in the Ethiopian Orthodox Tawedo Church to Quakers and their alliances with Neo-Pagan groups to the Mormons' tablets? Both tolerated and less tolerated but de-facto practices and principles, perhaps?

Help identifying dream entity?

Hello! I'm new to this sub but I was hoping this would be a good place to ask.

My dreams aren't usually very real and are very fragmented, so this is only a small section at the very end of the dream.

I was trying to escape the area I was in formerly by taking the subway, but I didn't have any cash, and so I broke into a vending machine. Crimes aside, I looked up to see this strange dude. I've been calling him The Goatman since my dream yesterday because I think it fits.

He appeared as a dark humanoid figure with a ram / goat's head [it was one of the two, really fluffy with those big ramlike horns] and the eyes on the mask[?] weren't there. Completely empty- white and gone.

He asked for some change in a rather distinct low/raspy tone, and I knew somehow that he would've killed me if I didn't give him any. For some reason I wasn't scared, and handed him a couple bucks before waking up.

Does this guy sound familiar? I have a haunted / cursed necklace that was absolutely BUZZING with energy when I woke up, so could it have been the necklace guy? Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Best books on magic protection?

So, for some reason, some practitioners hate me, I honestly have no idea why, but I would like to make sure they don't do something to me. So I was wondering if you knew of any books that deal with very powerful or effective protection techniques.

Thanks in advance.

Experience with orbs in the sky?

As all of these orb sightings have exponentially increased in the past month (not to be confused with drone sightings, as each sighting seem related but the appearance is distinctly different - drones following FAA regulated light standards, moving differently, not "orb-like" in appearance, etc.), do any of you have prior experience with seeing orbs in the sky? Have you seen any relationship with seeing orbs when meditating, performing rituals, etc.?

Never believed in this sort of stuff but like reading your experiences

Long time lurker here and Im going to be honest: I never really believed in this sort of stuff, however, I am somewhat superstitious (kinda through fear). I like reading your stories or breakthroughs with rituals and such because it interests me with the history surrounding said ritual than just the experience you guys get. Im not taking a jab nor attacking your way of life, i really just want to say you guys are interesting and if you do really believe in what you do, tell me why? I will give no judgement, I just want to learn more about this.

chaos magic using beliefs

so from what I understand chaos magic is about using beliefs as a tool to bend reality. the thing is- how u can do that if u cant really ‘believe’ anymore once you have gone from that to knowledge. i mean lets say a Christian who is convinced that his religion is the truth manifests his life in accordance with that. but the point is how u can ‘believe’ if you know that beliefs are not real anymore. u dig what im sayin.

so basically ig what need to be done is to enter a kind of disassociation state when you believe something with your mind but at the same time observe it with the eyes of consciousness and don't take it for granted. so pretty much you are consciously programming the subconscious mind for a certain outcome. is that \basically what chaos magic is.?

Proposing a Collective Thought Experiment, "Beatrice"

Faces of Beatrice

These are faces of the young lady, Beatrice. Why yes, that is Velma from "Scooby Doo" in the middle.

I would like to ask all (who read this) to help me in an online thought experiment based on the infamous "Phillip experiment" of 1972. (Link, Wikipedia)

https://youtu.be/MzNxHLe1_SQ - Video of Phillip Experiment

I'm not saying we're doing an online "seance" to create another "c*****pasta" or "s****** man" situation. The principles, though, are similar.

We want to explore the Tibetan Buddhist concept of tulpas, or thoughtforms, the practice of “willing” tangible forms into existence using our own innate mental energies. In Western mysticism, they are often referred to as Artificial Elementals, created by the practitioner using the natural archetypal elements of Earth, Air, Fire, and Water.

Types of Thoughtforms

There are varying definitions and perspectives on servitors, egregores, and tulpas, leading to some overlap and ambiguity. However, key distinctions can be drawn:

  • Servitors: These are semi-autonomous thoughtforms created to perform specific tasks for their creator. They are essentially interactive spells designed to carry out repetitive or complex functions without possessing independent will or sentience. A nympho, a type of servitor specifically designed for sexual pleasure, is an example. Servitors are created with a clear purpose and are intended to be subservient to their creator's will.
  • Egregores: These are fully autonomous beings. Unlike servitors, they are not directly controlled by their creator. Egregores are often collective entities formed by the combined energies and beliefs of multiple individuals around a shared idea or concept. They can grow in power and evolve independently, potentially exceeding the creator's initial intentions. A tulpa can be considered a low-level egregore in some perspectives.
  • Tulpas: These are often described as low-level egregores that function similarly to servitors. They are created by embedding a fragment of the creator's personality into a thoughtform. This gives them a degree of autonomy and inherent capabilities, but also carries the risk of becoming independent and potentially harmful to their creator. They are sometimes seen as psychological constructs or ways to interact with different parts of the subconscious. The creation process often involves focused mental energy and visualization, much like creating a servitor.

In summary: Servitors are tools, egregores are beings, and tulpas are a type of egregore with a closer connection to their creator but a greater potential for independent existence. The distinctions are not always clear-cut, and the terminology can be used inconsistently across different magical traditions and texts.

Some believe that angels, demons, gods, or other spirits are psychological constructs—ways to communicate with different parts of our super-conscious mind or subconscious mind. Others see all spirits as thoughtforms, given form by human creativity.

“In contrast to thoughts living in their forms in the mental or spiritual sphere, the ‘elementals’ are entities with a certain degree of intelligence deliberately created by a magician. Such elementals are capable of fulfilling certain tasks on the mental plane... The genuine magician will always be inspired by good and noble intentions and keep the altruistic motive in mind if he is aiming at the highest level of magical maturity.”

– "Initiation into Hermetics", Franz Bardon

Beatrice is more of an egregore than a tulpa, in a sense.

Sports teams are a good example. Notice how the Washington Commanders are winning games now? When they were the Washington Redskins they were an embarrassment, constantly losing games. They lost the support of their many fans, and the fact that the term "Redskins" is a racial slur to Native Americans didn't help.

Now, because of the energy from the excitement, confidence, and optimism from the fans (and new management with new coaches) the team is having a renassiance. A fighting chance.

The Redskins egregore faded away. A new Commanders egregore is serving them well.

Tulpas and egregores are so similar. I just chose to use the term "tulpa" because it is more well known. I hope that this addresses any misunderstandings.

Designing Beatrice

Everyone is welcome to join in this online group of a variety of occupations and interests. None of us claim to have any “psychic” abilities or other paranormal affluence.

We will create a fictional character named Beatrice "Tris" Astra. To help, it may be better to write out her biography, to better envision Beatrice’s identity in your minds, here are the interesting details.

Beatrice's History

She is a young woman that is a systems analyst and developer for a major online platform, who's originally from the Washington, D.C. Area. Likewise, she grew up in a working-class family and due to her aptitude for tech, she was able to secure a full scholarship to a major university. She lives a well-off life being a digital nomad, traveling frequently between Europe, Asia, and the Caribbean. She has not forgotten her humble upbringing and is willing to help others. Not only that, but she contributes to and volunteers at several charities.

One day, Beatrice came upon a homeless encampment at a park in D.C. and met a man named Marcus, with whom she fell madly in love. She saw potential in him and helped him get back on his feet.

But he cheated on her. Beatrice actually thought he was "the one" for her. She would have married him if he proposed.

Beatrice then became depressed. She buries herself in her work. Despite many offers, she refuses to get into another relationship. Secretly, she is still a romantic and a reluctant optimist. Part of her still sees the positive in people.

Physical Description

Beatrice appears in the form of a young woman wearing glasses or contacts. She is 5'10", has dark brown hair with highlights, usually in a ponytail or a bun, brown eyes, and tanned skin. Her ethnicity/race is left ambiguous. Refer to the photos above.

Her business attire is usually a dress, a blouse and skirt, pantsuit, or a polo shirt and khaki pants (Think the staff uniform at Best Buy or Walmart). Her casual wear favors comfortable and practical clothing such as hoodies, sweats, yoga pants, jeans, and leggings. She is described as more conservative in her style choices. She sleeps in her pajamas, without underwear.

If these photos are considered offensive or too racy, I am open to suggestions, but I am adamant that the entity should look like a human female whose appearance embodies sensuality and intelligence. If there is anyone with strong artistic skills that can do better, please feel free to contribute! The use of "real faces", "actress faces", does not detract from the ideal likeness of Beatrice. Perhaps the use of AI tools like Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, or DALL-E is more appropriate?

Personality

To describe the type of energy, mannerisms, and personality that she embodies, the following characters from popular culture are referenced:

  • C.J. Cregg from the show "The West Wing" for professionalism.
  • Chloe O'Brian from the show "24" for vulnerability, quirky disposition and loyalty.
  • Abby Sciuto from the show "NCIS" for expertise, fun, but slightly dark attitude, empathy, and compassion.
  • Rachel Tyrell from the infamous sci-fi movie "Blade Runner" for classic beauty, logic, and emotional innocence.
  • Angela Bennett from the movie "The Net". She is a freelance systems analyst worker. All of her relationships are almost completely online and on the phone, with the exception of forgettable interactions with her neighbors and visits to her mother. (I admit that this character played by Sandra Bullock is a major source of inspiration for Beatrice. Especially the fact the actress is from Arlington, VA, which is a part of the Washington, DC Area.)
  • Janet from the show "The Good Place", "a celestial, programmed guide who acts as the main source of information, analogous to an intelligent personal assistant. She has infinite knowledge of the universe, can provide residents anything they desire, and details everything of what is happening in the Good Place but does have some flaws in trying to act more human."
  • Beatrice "Tris" Prior from the "Divergent Series" of movies. (By the way, I came up with Beatrice long before I saw these movies.)

I hope this helps you all understand the inspirations drawn on for facets of Beatrice's personality and behavior.

There are critisims that Beatrice should be "de-sexualized". Really? Well, how is she sexualized? What a young woman can't wear glasses? What a woman can't be percieved of as nerdy or geeky? Now, I wonder those who are making such comments are being sexist, perhaps?

The Collective Creation

Take a moment, at least 5 minutes to 15 minutes (or longer if you spare it) to do this in a group of at least five people, in person or online. This is designed to be done online, especially through social media, to utilize the power of the collective.

Taking all of this information — the made-up history, the pictures, the story — the group will meditate on Beatrice. Visualize her appearing in your mind, concentrate as hard as you can, willing her to be. Try to “feel” her in the air.

Dismissal of Beatrice

Beatrice can be dissolved. This is not creating a sentient being and then kill it/erase it from existence if you don't like it. No one with a conscience would approve of creating a sentient person just to get rid of them later. At some point, if the attention to her fades away, she will naturally dissipate into nothingness or find another way to gather energy and become an egregore. Or, the only result from an experiment like this is that the participants would each create a tulpa that exists in their own head and would individually diverge from the base. Years ago, in the r/tulpas community, there were dozens of different "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" tulpas based on the same few characters.

Of course, everyone visualizes Beatrice in their own way. That's why I kept her description as general and vague enough with examples. All everyone has to do is agree on these basics, and whatever happens will happen.

This is your experiment. Feel free to add to it. Rewrite it. Let there be multiple versions of it! Spread it like a m***. Give Beatrice the same life that Pepe and Kek have. Be ethical. Use her wisely. Use her for positive intent to bring positive change.

For more information, here is a "white paper".

To those who disagree with this experiment, you don't have to participate. Thanks but no, thanks.

Thank you.

Sigils I wanted to share

Hello everyone,

I have recently been putting a lot of thought into symbols in society and how much they have subconscious influence on our thoughts and invoke feelings, dreams, and hopes. Symbols include major things like flags and smaller things like using butterflies to represent change or sharing a symbol within a group. Heck, even the icons on subreddits are symbols that we post under and by metric put our thoughts and energy into. Even on a microscopic level.

I do a lot of different art. I'm a perfumer, a painter, I animate, I edit, Ive dabbled in robotics. Pretty much whatever I can get my hands on, I try to make something from it.

I started thinking about sigils and symbols once I understood a facet of it a bit better. Its not just an intention, it's the feelings and thoughts that come to mind when we look at it- essentially the principles of design (stop signs grab our attention, yellow street signs make us feel danger, green makes us feel calm) mixed with the intention and an imagined goal.

I want to incorporate this symbols in my art a lot more, as a subtle background element. Pretty much wherever I see fit. It sort of came to me while I was mircosleeping. I want to explain each part of it.

  1. World Peace

The largest circle represents the earth, the inner circle represents the energy of the earth and the energy that ties us all together and drives us.

The symbol ren 人 represents people. It means "person" and is a very simplistic and ancient character (one of the oldest characters documented in Chinese). Its simple, it's almost like a stick figure. When I was learning Chinese, it really stuck with me how much it feels like it's doing an amazing job depicting the word person, in a visual way that the lettered word "person" doesn't achieve. Not to say one or the other is better, just that the symbol resonated with me.

The design of the earth with people on it is based off of an old illustration I grew up with, daydreaming while looking at a beautiful image of people holding hands around the earth. Each wearing regalia representing different cultural backgrounds and different perspectives. Its Simplified in this sigil by simply connecting several different 人 to eachother as though they are holding hands and supporting eachother.

The sun and the moon support us all as well, I included it for a similar reason that I included the earth's core.

A line is placed at the bottom of the sigil and below. Representing where the earth came from (and humanity) and foreshadowing where it's going to (hopefully) go. Continuing the path upwards.

A bit more complicated but I can share if interested!

Looking for real solutions to constant Telepathy problem with girlfriend

I currently have a Telepathic connection to my girlfriend and no matter what we try the connection won't go away

The Telepathy is like being on a phone call 24/7 constantly

We have tried all kinds of methods (Cord Cutting, Meditation etc.) and nothing has worked

The Telepathy is constant and has lasted two years now, it has completely ruined our lives
