Hi, interesting topic. I'd be careful to avoid falling into the trap of ultra skepticism, which is to assume that all things are analogous to science and reason, and that, therefore, they are replaceable by science and reason. This, ultimately, is the fallacy that Dawkins et al perpetrate. They make...

Well, magick has always 'happened' to me unexpectedly. As a kid I remember being able to intuit energy fields around living things, which I discovered playing a local variant of hide and seek. Whenever I was it, I would instantly walk to each hiding place and find everyone without missing a beat or ...

Specific remedies require more specific information, but as a general rule, I've found most types of occult problem can be dealt with quite effectively by following a strict regime of sensible, basic practice. Generally, that means daily purification of oneself and a consecration of their space. So,...

Ah I see. I wouldn't say I found many examples, personally. In the last 20 years, I can only think of three instances where I've had to use aggressive black magic against other people or institutions. But from what I've heard from others, most people seem to find at least one or two similar situatio...

Hey Reptilian thanks for the reply, hopefully we'll see a few different approaches. I should mention that I have rarely had recourse to use these methods. Nonetheless, I do consider it prudent to know some kind of offensive magick in the same way that I consider it wise to train in martial arts. Of ...

I wasn't sure exactly where to post this, so I hope this is the right forum. Most of us, at some point in our magickal careers, have realised that like it or not, sometimes you have to get your hands dirty and practise purely offensive magick. Whether your enemies exist on the astral, like a dangero...

Hey man, I smoked salvia once with some friends. As a practitioner of the Vama Marg, i am used to using narcotics for spiritual purposes. Salvia was... um, intense. I really enjoyed it. For me, it really messed with the whole time space continuum thing. It was an experience. Time and Space seemed to...

Hi Mason18, The subject of proof and belief is by no means restricted to the occult, and in fact proof is difficult to come by for even very accepted things that we hold true in the everyday world. A brief study of epistemology (the philosophy of knowledge and truth) will reveal to you that there ar...

Hey Sas, I'm not sure if you picked up on this, but I think that when reptilian talks about a 'lucid dream' he's referring to that state when you realise, within the dream, that you are dreaming, and take conscious control of the experience. I've had some experience with lucid dreaming myself over t...

Hi Jack, Colloquially, the term Magus can refer to any practitioner of magick who identifies themselves as such. As pointed out, in the hierarchy of western ceremonial magick, the Magus is a senior (generally head) member of a magickal order. I don't necessarily agree entirely with the description g...

Hi, I've been involved in the occult twenty years now, way back since I was in single figures. I've been interested in Ceremonial magick, Thelema, Shamanism, Taoist internal alchemy, Chaos magick, Tantra, Voodoo, and Pagan magickal traditions as well as a host of other stuff. I guess I'd be consider...
