You are the Scariest of All Them Evil Ones, Annatar!

A believer can never really kill the idea of God inside their heads. The best that those of us who feel, or have felt, ourselves to have been oppressed or brutalized through the supposed "official" word (s) on or of, God    
 
— plural, because there's *so many* official words, each and every religion sect and splinter has their own multitude of variations each of which have in the past been used to brutalize and oppress others, use those tools for keeping the sheep in line for opposing difference and "Otherness," even Buddhism —  
 
the best such a believer and lover can do is to find and or create work-arounds to get through all the minefields and thickets laid down. When one tunnels one does encounter much darkness, but it's only through the expedience of the route taken; experienced miners wear headlamps, and tunnel strategically.  
 
there's plenty of trumpets, and each of them is in a Jazz band celebrating a second-line. Peace and Blessings from New Orleans, Sister.

Yes, I don't have a lot of information yet as to whether can someone really harm God. I mean, I know that the Luciferian rebellion did lead to the loss of some of us, but I believe they were respawned. As a person that is incarnated, I can really only create a myth around something so legendary and beyond my level of comprehension - for now. I know that Sauron exists, he does have a Ring, something like the Necronomicon and the Keys of Enoch, it is, but what is the actual impact it could lead to - I am unsure. I know that, he targeted God's light and the trumpets, or maybe this is a metaphor that I was given, without it literally meaning he was threatening God. Maybe it was a way to show victory of evil over his  benevolent foes. I mean, this is more like a fantasy poem with thoughts over existense, rather than a truce I have really grasped for now.

Well sister, I have the necronomercon too. It's simply part of today's toolkit. the idea of the enemy is as old as myth itself. there's nothing it an do now that it could not do before, and probably less so, as a result of enhanced information flow and connectivity between blessed specimens of Humanity all across the globe in this day of modern age. Fear not, and let your mind soul and heart each find its own separate piece. All is blessed, and all is glorious.

Love. One Love.

ah yes I also downloaded it to my Kindle. It's an interesting one. :D But I think some part of it describes how a portal to hell could be opened? I think no one can produce such sounds but it inspired me to write this poem. PS> the necronomicon of La Vey and not Lovecraft.

, no it's not about the actual physical book. the Simon necronomicron or any of those volumes. it's about holding the idea within yourself as a metaphor to work with. that's what magic is    
   
the actual necronometer Crumbs are all doggeral. the "Simon" decker number chronic is mostly interesting because of the background of its author and the time span and space in which it was created, that is the so-called magical Renaissance in which was centered in places like New York and Cincinnati in the mid to late seventies New York in the seventies. it's author is a scholar known as Peter Levenda

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Levenda

ah, yes, in that sense. I get it.
of course it's about us holding the magic. books are just a vessel. :D
I love Victorian era books, and from the era 1000-1890s. Pre-technology, in every case. Where is the romance nowadays, where..?

LaVey was a sideshow carnival Barker. it was first enough in the occult in the use of memes myth and magic. he had and he created a great thing going in his pop cultural Church of Satan. but his take on magic was very limited, was based on rationalism, and mostly revolved around what we would call neural linguistic programming, which is manipulatory and takes into account no manner of spirit or extra dimensional or extra phenomenological intelligence.

hey thanks Peter Levenda is an author gem to be found, I will try to get to some of his works. You are so precious to have enlightened me on this delicate matter! Who would have known.

the romance is inside of our hearts, and in the cultural changes which we are all undergoing, since the American civil war as Humanity progresses and becomes better. it is always there, and it is always waiting to be found. but it is never that far away

oh it is my pleasure! I have studied the practice of magick and practiced the study of magick for about 30 years, about since I was 14. I know a fair amount. Hint: scholarly sources can be invaluable.

and by scholarly I mean actual academic not necessarily the work that I linked to through someone like Levenda, although his works are quite fascinating interesting helpful and valuable as well

Hello,

I now have a huge library, too, I have been gathering it for a while now. I managed to acquire some good knowledge about the universe and its ways. I've been avoiding the magic subject deliberately, because I had to know more about the ways of spirituality before I delve into such a serious subject. Can you please recommend me some literature? :))

Academic? Hm. Interesting. Can you please tell me more? I get it all from the books I read and from the adivinations I get from beyond.

academic sources regarding the history of magic and esoterica. usually this involves finding one scholarly book and going through the footnotes.

in the English speaking world a very useful scholar, and possibly the one I gained the most from is named Francis Yates

Thanks <3

Rather than practicing magick, I have found it always more useful simply to study that practice. eventually magick simply becomes a way of being, thinking, and doing within oneself. Modes of existence and perception. Paradigms of self-working for the betterment of all through the perfecting self. Paradigms of understanding and practice.

I agree. Without doing anything pretentious, after my experience in spirituality, I can say that my entire approach towards life has changed. I can no longer think or act out of "normal" behaviour patterns, I assess everything from a different perspective. Probably the world aroud me reacts towards me the same way! It's all about intent.

Wow! You're my sister.

Okay, magick. The utilization of what the subconscious mind can observe. So when we speak of magic first and foremost it is a matter of a practice of attempting to attain a greater and closer and tighter yet simultaneously looser communion with oneself. this is the role of the magus. very closely and heavily tied in with, and related to alchemy. that is, alchemy as it was practiced, a philosophical – or rather, "magico-spiritual" – discipline in the 15 and 1600s. as always I must mentioned my dates and my specificities are smudged. the magician does not actually worry about that terribly but does try to be as accurate as their memory and knowledge allows them to be. No one is ever allowed to call themselves an expert , here , except within their own minds, and even that must remain situational contextual and most importantly metaphorically    
conjectural.  
 
the single most best source I can possibly even imagine to consult for an understanding basically of magic with a k is Alan Moore's 24-part comic series from the 90s called Promethea. There is nothing else in existence like it. Now available collected into six convenient trade paperbacks. unfortunately that's fairly expensive although I suppose you can do it on Kindle, and you also need an appreciation for the sequential storytelling medium. If I could, I would mail them to everybody on the planet for free, but that is a heavy proposition I know, and it would require such a vast amount of resources as to be ethically problematical, although again, there is always that Kindle machine and its cohorts.  
   
In terms of just basically practicing magic the best place to start is witchcraft. Just imagine you're a child little girl crouching down with companion soul playing pebbles, twigs, and mud and therefore you have everything you need, add in a few bushes or low trees in a place for sheltering overhang and childhood concealment, some berries which are probably poisonous or at least we'll make your tummy hurt if you attempt to eat them but we can just as easily be imagined to be nourishing or salutary, and some herbs and whatnot which are probably more likely like different grasses and bits of flowers stems. A little child's ditchwitchery or hedgewitchery. You just make it up and direct intention and will toward whatever you are making something up, physically, around to represent toward thy subconscious, thy mind, and thy universe that that which is the subject to the object is simultaneously and becomes vice versa. One should become adept at hexing oneself towards one's objectives of opening up, contextualizing and directing one perceptions more importantly than anything else.  
   
You most likely probably already know a bunch about all of that, I can tell.

When you're thinking about or imagining opening portals to hell, you're taking it way too literally. Here's a line from a rap song by some South African wiggers – "...fuck my god, devil be blood..." It's all metaphor for what empowers or disempowers you, the self. Who is my homie, which metaphors do I hold as valuable; those kinds of quarters. Not to say that the practice of magic does not have real effects upon the real world or can. It's just that it all starts as metaphor and there's no portal to hell. There's simply Will, Operating upon phenomenological reality.

Hello.

Thanks for the guidance.

As much as I have experience with witchcraft, which is several books and few attempts to make an "offering" with flowers and stuff in order to channel good energy, I can say that I agree. It is mostly about what is inside of you at the moment of doing something. I mean, the energy of your thoughts, intent and emotion is directly linked with what you are trying to achieve. Be it a "spell", or just an everyday action, the reflection of your deed in the universe is 100% connected with what was inside of you in that moment. Therefore, it is not so much about which sigil or whatever (that came to my mind) you drew, but rather, how you approach it..
Btw, never been a fan of sigils. I like arranging fruit and imagery, and using herbs, although I don't have much free space to do it properly right now.
Thanks for the feedback and Kindle recommendation.

A beautiful metaphor jungle that unfolded in a grand way. Hugs and peace, oral

<333 thanks!

Tolkien and Joseph Campbell would be smiling. impressive the way the readers' attention was keep for the entire write.

WOW thank you!!!!!!!!!!! <3 This means SO SO Much to me! I have many other Tolkien writings published here, I'd be interested to hear your opinion. Too bad they are from the Silmarilion (most of them), which is not that much of a common Tolkien knowledge.... Most people know mostly LotR. But thanks again!!! I AM SMILING

Oh I have a story to tell about the Silmarilion, but that is for another day.

please don't forget to tell me, because now IM SO CURIOUS TO KNOW IT

I Love the mysticism incorporated into your writing. I have an entire tattoo sleeve on my arm and chest that depicts creatures from the Necronomicon. One of my fields of study is Metaphysics and Mysticism, so I am definitely resonating with your writing. Love to talk to you some time. I will read more of your material tonight. Peace

how intriguing! <3 I am glad to find people that share the same interest towards such matters.

Absolutely loved this, great blend, great write awesome read
Love and light
Ron
