I like how this guy is calm, cool and collected about all of it. Now i am a lot more relaxed about learning it. A lot of these other magicians try to look all scary and use a scary voice its not needed just comes off as a comical fool. Definitely will be buying this guys books. You can tell hes not just some dumb guy with fangs in his mouth. If anyone knows any other guys similar to him let me know I am just getting into magicians.
+John Doe Lon Milo DuQuette is calm and cool too. He's an amazing writer and applies humor on his books, besides probably being the most acclaimed author on this subjects.
+John Doe To begin with Lon's works i recommend: My Life With the Spirits, The Chicken Qabalah and The Magick of A. Crowley. They're not large books and it is straightforward. Btw, since we're talking about learning magick through cool magicians, i will recommend to you another book and it's Modern Magick by D.M. Kraig. It will be a good introduction to the world of magick.
This guy is a god!!! The work he's done on hermetic and Enochian magic is just incredible! the books and article he's written are absolute gold mines of information.
Techniques of High Magic, and The Complete Magician's Tables, then Techniques of Graeco-Egyptian Magick, Techniques of Solomonic Magic, then any way you want to go. Some of the rest will not make much sense til you are familiar with those first ones.
LokiRudder so the Harry Potter type is real it's not just a fantasy . magic is real ? . do you think the writer used magic to help her write novel . the Mummies magic spells are true ? but why is it essential ? isn't it wrong to invoke even if they for real exist .
LokiRudder where should I start . but what if I do something wrong . are there only ' good ' ones . but of what use ? for what purpose ? is there anything simple from where I can start .
Sean Hallahan why do you consider this as a gift ? what has he done or any of magic done ? of what use ? if you know can you please explain in simple terms . of what use ? . why is it necessary ? .
Excellent delivery & rich information, how refreshing to see someone who knows the facts. I shall be looking forward to reading your book(s). Correct about Taoist Magic & yes it is passed down many generations. I completely concur on your remark about sleeping & receiving, as one is a direct conduit & merely a matter of allowing the other mind to access. Spirits will answer in a myriad of ways upon wakefulness & ones answer is evident. Thank you. :)
WOW! SO COOL! Im not a big fan of Crowley though so I am confused a bit. I loved geography, and I learned of feng shui at 14 or so and I still care very much for it wow! Thank YOU
To me, it seems that much of what people think is useless magical references should be out there for those who can make it work or understand them. Religion can be said to be known through magic as a combination of its art and science; which is known through the inner and outer mysteries. As much as technology advances, it seems that magic devolves in general. Enochian can be easier for some in how it can be used to categorize the subjects and cosmology the Laws of Attraction and Repulsion work on. Angel means different things and different beings to different people.

@z borg Our bodies fight other aspects of our own body. That is what the body does. Whether it's foreign or native. The body does what it is designed to do.
Do the Taoist magicians use magical timing, however? Dr. Skinner identifies that as a critical element for successful evocation, but I wonder if it is used in China.

+Blink Blink Doing a banishing ritual is not going to make you hear anything, You should go see a psychologist because you probably have some type of mental health issues that have nothing to do with you doing that ritual.
What is the source you are getting this from? Look up what you are describing and type the title EXACTLY as it is given, because what you typed doesn't make any sense. Please clarify, you just read it or you were performing it, or half assed performing it?
From what I know from what I read, the 6 pointed (rayed) star (pentacle) is the star of the realm of intellegence, mainly of knowledge, to bring about (reveal) knowledge through awareness. So yes it can make you more aware or conscientious through hyper knowing (knowledge) than your normal self. You may banish the star saying that it is not for you at this time, since the Lesser banishing rite is a banishing ritual for lesser entities, mainly after a ritual ceremony or for cleansing an area for consecration. Or you may read the Greater Banishing Rite since it is for stronger/stubborn entities, a 6 pointed star entity is high up the status pyramid compared to a lesser entity. Or you can ask it to make it less hyper and more bearable at your level. This may also be a time to ask the 6 pointed entity to deliver your request or desire. And to bring it in a pleasant form. If your request becomes manifested after your request then you must do this after..... (to be known)......
He didn't say what to do if people don't make careful preparations before a work and get into trouble.For instance,what if a whole bunch of rituals are performed without a circle because the person(s) don't realize you need one?.
This is not a lecture on how to perform a ritual. You need to acquire the material and thoroughly study it before you begin doing them. If you're doing a whole bunch of rituals without a circle, you are obviously ignoring the instructions because that is the first part of every ritual in this genre of Magick. You might as well be asking what do I do if I jump out of an airplane without a parachute because I didn't know I needed one. Perform the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram, the official one, not someone's knockoff version, and do it the way it's supposed to be done precisely and methodically. You can do this one over and over again without causing yourself any more damage. Once you get it down correctly it will clear your space. Then you should do it every day, and/or every time you do a ritual. If you can't dedicate to this sort of methodicism then you shouldn't be practicing this sort of Magick, or you should just expect that you are going to get yourself into trouble. Some people should just stick with candle magick and crystals.
The LBRP has massive effect! With a properly performed LBRP you do not need to cast a circle which shows how brilliant it is. The LBRP also does not only banish - though it does that perfectly.
Wrong on all counts. The LBRP creates a circle, in fact a sphere - so as I have already clearly stated casting a circle is not entirely necessary. What are you babylon about? 'Neglect not the Performance of the Ritual of the Pentagram and of the Assumption of the Form of Hoor-pa-Kraat'. 'Those who regard this ritual as a mere device to invoke or banish spirits, are unworthy to possess it. Properly understood, it is the Medicine of Metals and the Stone of the Wise'.
'White clothing' - Jewish High Priests wear white linen and bath themselves on special days up to 10 times a day. You contradict your self and reveal your ineptness with your lack of knowledge. Do not think I am appeasing the Jews either but this is a known fact that white linen is a very important part of the High Priest's overall ritual with a new set having to be made each year - this white linen is only for the most important ceremonies and only for the most sacred parts when entering the Holy of Holies and on top of that the High Priest would undertake a ritual bath in between each change of garments and even after putting the new set on.
binding is very importing i am very unknown but i fing reeds in lochs bound with wax strings and letters to ellemental in water to read the dessires of those who made the or initiated the dessire
It does now. I suspect, however, that the missing section of the Mystery Cults filled in alot of gaps there. That really provided the character development that we completely lack now and familiarized the Learner with the rituals. You would have already had the most important defenses set in before you even started.
I agree with Shulg. If it isn't measurable and repeatable then it is a belief or superstition. If the practice produces measurable and repeatable results, it can be studied and practiced the same as any branch of science.
i mean, if it is true what he is saying then it is "measurable and repeatable", and no i dont think this type of thing would work well with our "modern" 21 centurey scientist/science only a very few people even dare to talk about this in public since magic ( or magick, as some may call it ) is a very taboo subject. beside how exsactly can magic be "measurable" maybe repeatable yes, but i dont see how you can measure it ( unless you use the same system as the ancient people used ) but in the end we cant know if it works or not unless we try it ourself.
I say physicality. We exist simultaneously in multiple planes, all the others too fine to perceive with convential senses. So, the magician is just like a scientist, except that he works and experiments in the high planes to achieve his goals in the lower, where as the conventional scientist is mostly concerned with effecting the material world to get results therein. A secular scientist is a fairly new concept, though.
I guess you could say so.. but more a person who is very good at translating and describing the techniques used by Dr. Strange, although he uses them himself.
Hard to say. Aleister Crowley and Helena Blavatsky maybe? But I think the real doctor Strange is the Graeco-Egyptian practitioners who figured out all of this and wrote it down in the first place.
I keep hearing this shit about the magick circle and the triangle and keep asking on forums etc. What if you never have done magick and a demon presents himself to you?? I even submit the dialog and people act like I'm fucking crazy or made it up would a very experieced mage PLEASE answer me. I'm fucking scared. I don't practice magick and I am not interested in Christianity.

prepare the ritual, invoke the spirit, bind it, then tell it what to do. banish the spirit at the end. this is from what i understand of it.
So what really seperates science from magick except superstition and fear?
