Satanism by 6184005|Wade Baskin book cover

πŸ“˜ Satanism

Satanism has an aspect of holiness distinct from that of Beelzebub. There is no singular entity but it functions rather like a descended master which believers can embody. Once inertiae for evil acts: execution, rape or torture; reach a climax, poltergeist manifest can occur. Druid wood magic may be directly linked. Avoid this temptation. Even if you feel someone may deserve the worst, "thou shall not place thorns before the path of your enemies, lest the whole world become filled with thorns." Though many have rejected the forceful and anomalous Jesus, we need not be powerless with the true Christ Yeshua bin Yosef, son of Josef and bloodline of Jesse the heroe savior and true slayer of Goliath. This book purposefully tests the weak or those who succumb to the "light in the darkness" as is described in the Emerald Tablets of Akhenaton. The dark light is the meeting point between the reciprocal inertia of witchcraft and Bemelo (beelzebub). One finds himself weaker than the other and makes what is called a 6-3 to continue the hedonist intentions and lewd agenda in respectively, for those who follow, the overlying evil agenda. - Guy Roeslyn refer to Satan by author Montgomery for a primer on Satanic doctrine and an expose on Satan's diabolical mission.

The Occult Mind by 7084072|Christopher I. Lehrich book cover

πŸ“˜ The Occult Mind

"Given the historical orientation of philosophy, is it unreasonable to suggest a wider cast of the net into the deep waters of magic? By encountering magical thought as theory, we come to a new understanding of a thought that looks back at us from a funhouse mirror."?The Occult Mind Divination, like many critical modes, involves reading signs, and magic, more generally, can be seen as a kind of criticism that takes the universe?seen and unseen, known and unknowable?as its text. In The Occult Mind, Christopher I. Lehrich explores the history of magic in Western thought, suggesting a bold new understanding of the claims made about the power of various belief systems. In closely interlinked essays on such disparate topics as ley lines, the Tarot, the Corpus Hermeticum, writing and ritual in magical practice, and early attempts to decipher Egyptian hieroglyphics, Lehrich treats magic and its parts as an intellectual object that requires interpretive zeal on the part of readers/observers. Drawing illuminating parallels between the practice of magic and more recent interpretive systems?structuralism, deconstruction, semiotics?Lehrich deftly suggests that the specter of magic haunts all such attempts to grasp the character of knowledge. Offering a radical new approach to the nature and value of occult thought, Lehrich's brilliantly conceived and executed book posits magic as a mode of theory that is intrinsically subversive of normative conceptions of reason and truth. In elucidating the deep parallels between occult thought and academic discourse, Lehrich demonstrates that sixteenth-century occult philosophy often touched on issues that have become central to philosophical discourse only in the past fifty years.
