Skepticism in occult circles

Today I am going to rant a little about current situation in the occult circles.

Common mundane person takes whole occult as a bunch of @$!#@!!, I get used to that. But why the hell are skeptics in occult circles?

Common transformation of mundane person to occult practitioner contains an esoteric event that cannot be explained by common sense and a new kind of thinking has to occur. Now, common procedure would be for the occult practitioner to start questioning his old beliefs and obtain new beliefs through research and practice.

Unfortunately this is something that doesn't happen. Common procedure today is that:

  1. Something unexplained happens
  2. Mundane person develops a new level of thinking for the specific event and similar events
  3. He still take everything else as a @$!#@!! till something outside is "occult" scope happens and he has to modify his beliefs once again.
This doesn't sound so bad, but it leads to many misunderstanding among practitioners. Different experiences lead to different beliefs and to the root of the argument. In occult you cannot just wait till something smashes you to your face, you have to search it, using method as described above leads to following example:
  1. Ok, so I am in 19 floors high building on the top and there is a hole in this floor. What happens if I jump to the hole?
  2. Oh, I fell down and broke some of my bones, so now I know that jumping into the hole in 19th floor means this, but look, there is a hole in this floor too? What will happen if I jump through this hole?
  3. Repeat
  4. ????
  5. Profit
If some event changes your life and you start seeing occult with new eyes, why do you still have to hold your old assumptions? If you believe in existence of esoteric phenomena, if you believe in Magick, how can you not believe in God? Or most importantly, why do you think that one part is real and the other is fake?

Well, I will tell you, no one is happy to find out he was wrong for his entire life. Not because of some shame, but because that's the exact event that destroys Ego, finding out that all assumptions you made about your life are nothing but just assumptions.

Trying ChatGPT's knowledge of occultism

 I decided to quiz ChatGPT regarding its occult knowledge and I must admit, I was pleasantly surprised. Q: Define the astral plane The astral plane, also known as the astral realm or astral world, is a concept in many spiritual and philosophical traditions. It is often described as a non-physical plane of existence beyond the physical world, where consciousness can travel and experience things beyond the physical realm. In some beliefs, the astral plane is seen as a place where the soul or spirit can go after death, or where individuals can go during astral projection or out-of-body experiences. It is also sometimes associated with dreams and the unconscious mind. The concept and interpretation of the astral plane can vary greatly across different cultures and belief systems. Q: What is spiritus mundi? Spiritus mundi is a Latin term that translates to "the spirit of the world." The concept has roots in ancient philosophy, particularly in the work of the philosopher Plotinus,

Simple Sumerian Banishing Ritual

In this simple ritual we will call two entities that were given to Marduk. Nariluggaldimmerankia, guardian of Igigi and Annunaki, enemy of all maskim and rabishu, and we will also call Asaruludu, ruler of the flame sword, giver of the perfect defense. I am a bit tired now to give any more details, so here we go: 1) Face north and take a couple of deep breaths 2) Center and ground yourself (as described in How to begin with practical Magick article) 3) Call the word of Nariluggaldimmerankia, the word is BANRABISHU. Call this word to each direction, when you are done, turn back to north. This should clean the space of all negative energy, no matter if it consisted of negative emotions like anger, fear, frustration, negative entities like demons, larvae or some curse. 4) Call the word of Asaruludu. Proceed the same way as in step 3, call his word in each direction. His word is BANMASKIM. 5) Enjoy the effects. This ritual is very simple, words of power can be easily memorized and
