    WoW a sister nowonder I was so attracted to this site.
    I do believe Iza your right and alot of kids are watching to many TV shows like Charmed or Supernatural or even paranormal ghost hunting shows and think this is how it is in reality.
    Its making it harder for us as a community to be taken seriously and also I believe there is a danger for kids who romanticize the paranormal.
    I had a kid yesturday email me asking me if I could cast a spell that could turn him into a Vampire. /facedesk

    I am hoping that you told him yes? Because that's what we really need. Maybe you could turn him into one of those vampires that "sparkles" in sunlight and then make a gazillion dollars from his brooding, angst-ridden appearance.

    That's hormones for you. Obviously, this lad has not found his inner Adonis or something and thinks this could be the only way to pull. Maybe he just wants to be able to say to lasses "Mwahaha, Vere is no escaping my enchanting good looks!".

    In all fairness to lads that want to look like this Twilight guy, Twilight guy is the son of the actor that plays Wolveriene in X-Men. So genetics may play a part in this.

    As for why people think occultism is evil, well at the end of the day it all comes down to fear. It is wrong to make assumptions about things because assumptions can always be wrong.

    I've heard some dandies, and I'm sure that you get some good ones too. I don't know that hormones alone can be blamed for this trend....we've all got 'em, but hormones combined with a general sense of dumb-assery can really do the trick. So, Broomhilda....will you turn me into a vampire? I'll turn you into a mummy or something as a trade. Deal?

    I hear that Ghost Power is much cheaper than gasoline.

    Is it high in octane? If so I'd like to switch my race modified car to ghost power... the price of gas is just ghastly!

    Why, yes, it is very high in octane, among other things. And free. You just need to let me know when you want to go, so I can: 1) keep Darius and that ritual coat hanger away long enough to actually move, and 2) infuse your ride with enough juice to crank it up. I'm more than happy to help, but you may find ghost power to be even more ghastly than the price of gas. Because, I suppose that by definition it is.

    And yes, Iza.....as is your custom, you are correct. Those Christian/Satanic hybrid models really do benefit from ghost power. It's part of a kinder, gentler, greener religio-spiritual view of the afterlife. If we all do our part, we can keep the Underworld clean for future generations. It moves me to ghostly, empty, Yin tears.

    Yes, I know. I am quite familiar with this, Mommy Dearest. And I suppose, Mommy Darius too.

    You define "practicing magick" as "communing with" spirits, elements and energies, causing change to things in the material world. How would "communing with" such 'forces' result in such changes? Are you talking about 'petitioning' said forces to intervene supernaturally on your behalf? That would seem more akin to spiritual prayer than to practicing magick. By the way, you expressed skepticism about the true nature of the entities Dr John Dee believed he had contacted - they claimed to be angels, you say they could be demons instead. I don't disagree with that, but please explain how you can be certain that the "spirits or spiritual forces (the good kind)", that you in communion with, are not similarly deceptive demonic forces in disguise?

    Very true. And self-deception always has been one of the foremost obstacles to deriving anything actually useful from "occult" practices. The movie "Pi" depicts this perils very astutely.

    Quote Originally Posted by justinkl75 View Post

    As I mentioned before, most major faiths have sanctified mysticism traditions associated with "acquiring higher knowledge". If you chose to pursue such a goal, from outside any of those traditions, you may have to accept the risk that some people might judge your chosen methods as "evil". But if you don't belong to any such major faith community, why would you care if they think what you are involved in is evil?

That to me is a rational reason for these people wanting to invoke demons, power. There is a lot of things humans don't know and can't do. If you give a lot of demons a lot of things or do them a lot of favours, maybe they would give you a lot of power.
    If that was actually possible - invoke a few demons, give them something they want, then *POOF* they magickally transform you into one of the most powerful persons on earth - then surely 'invoking demons' would be all that anyone would ever do, 24/7, for their entire lives. Fortunately, that's not actually possible. To test your hypothesis, look up some of the modern persons who have committed or commanded murders (that's what human sacrifice is), and who are popularly associated in some way with something 'occult' - such as Richard Ramirez or the Manson family. Do those people possess incredible wealth & power, or are they rotting in prison cells?

    Nonsense. That statement is just a variant of the old "magick invariably works, but only if you are a True Adept" excuse for explaining away the failure of most 'spellcasting' to acheive their stated desires.

    I'll say it - they don't. No one does.

    The old Golden Dawn knowledge lectures on the subject, are one example.

    Those names were used, traditionally, because the vast majority of "occult practitioners" who ever lived (at least, from 100 CE to present) were sincere, god-fearing Christians & Jews. You are correct in saying that it seems hypocritical for non Judeo-Christians to continue using such nomenclature in their own rituals.
