you're SO RIGHT about needing intermediate books, I feel that's where I'm at and it's very overwhelming to look at these really complex books and concepts. Not talked about enough!

I don't do demonology but I appreciated the online posted rituals by VK Jehannum and his written work with Ea Koetting. Swap out the spirits, change the astral language and it provides a good insight on new rituals and practices for any path.

Somewhere in the Abramelin section of Llewellyn’s Complete Book of Ceremonial Magick, it says that in order to start doing the ritual, one must have this feeling of having completed it in the future, for once it is complete, it causes a ripple in time. Well, if that doesn´t get you thinking really, really hard about the fate thing, I don´t know what would... Thanks again for the great content!

I see similar gods not as the same beings but reflecting the same principles. Like a Senator for New York is similar to a Senator for New Jersey. They relate to the same body, the Senate, but they're different.

I agree with everything actually lol. My hot take not everyone is working with the true deities they claim and some are working with tricker spirits but some are fallen parasitic versions of that deity (like in marvels Loki fallen variants of the deity in the multiverse) If a deity truly is working with you they will give you strong undeniable confirmation it is them and I would encourage to question and test them to know the difference to form a true relationship with a deity.

@@voxlupae Doing divination is a good way; using tarot and such, and asking whether you're speaking with who you think you're speaking. And maybe requesting the entity to do something that a spirit wouldn't be able to do. Most spirits are barely able to influence the physical world, but deities aren't that weak.

The best opinion I found was to understand the system you practice in terms of world view beliefs and meaning. That needs covering I feel. For example Thelema has a strong pre-supposition saying Existence is Pure Joy! That at least supposes one capable of Joy.

Calling every magical or Esoteric tradition or even mysticism all "witchcraft" really grinds my gears, too! Thank you! It isn't all Witchcraft, and New Age isn't Mysticism. Thank you!!!

Great takes! Can't wait for the next.

i really dig your take on things, totally agree on just about everything. (not sure i agree about determinism, and also gods as archetypes, still not sure about those...) -i cannot believe that it's been four years! i remember when you posted your first videos! thank you for all you have given to the community!

Wonderful, many thanks!

I agree with your take on fate. To me free will is only wiggle room within the web of Maat, the elder stories tell us her patterns were the pre-existing set of forces into which the Natures blasted their energy to begin the cosmic dance. The more I meditate on my past, and the more clear my intellect gets from ongoing interactions with Lions Mane fungus I can see the pattern of an intelligence that can track a longer span of time than my daylight ego and intellect can fathom without opening to higher forces. This is getting all the more clear as I dig into a sort of binge watching of your videos. I've already been in a revival phase for some years, got the Metatron Sandalphon edit to the LBRP on my own before I got the Damien Echols book that talks about it. Your stuff is so well informed that it's waking up my memory of what I went through in my time of being initiated through the OTO up to Knight Of The East and West and ordained Priest of EGC. I realize that my angel invocation succeeded during those years and was the intelligence that then led me to leave that set and setting to learn simple Earth magic with my rituals reduced to Tai Ji forms and reviving my song craft to be able to play whole songs again after years only being able to follow others and then getting so deep into computers I lost my real music skills temporarily. Thank you again dear DD, your talks really inspire my inner light.

Agreed on the nature of the gods and goddesses...psychology is wrong about the idea that it's all in the head what with the discoveries of things like the lack of evidence for that theory and abundant growing evidence that fields of energy are intelligent and conduct the show we experience as humans. The head isn't the only brain either, as the energy map of Chinese martial arts shows. Dan Tian means 'energy field' in its most literal translation and the gut and heart have wider ranging senses in the physical and quantum qualitative vibes detection than the head whose field only extends a couple of fingers width past the skull. Heart's field engulfs the whole body and belly brain is a deep sense of correct intuition obscured by too much monkey screeching from the wordsmith upstairs, trained to think itself King by the materialist delusions.

My biggest issue with Occult Publishing is that many of the works are treated with little reverence. They are printed on cheap acidic paper with flimsy cardstock covers and garish front illustrations. I would want my copy of the Lesser Key to last more than a few years before the ink bleeds through the cheap wood pulp paper and the pages begin to yellow and stain.

Thank you for this interesting video. I am a soft polytheist who works with different pantheons. I have done for a long time and i do not seen to have problems working this way. I always do research about deities and their cultures before i work with them.

I would simplify both paths as such. Left hand path: Focused on the individual, dark aesthetics, being one’s own god. World embracing and solitary. Right hand path: Focused on the community, selflessness, martyrdom, loving thy neighbor as oneself. Colorful aesthetics. World denying.

@@wildmarjoramdieselpunk6396 I’m not sure there is a word for the merging of the two. I would call it the grey path. But personally such a mergence seems odd to me.

A good intermediate practice might be the golden dawn material, pentagram and hexagram Rituals and practicing invoking planetary gods and angels in this very simplicive and direct way. As for the psychological paradigm, I love this duality. Honestly I feel like a little cognitive dissonance goes a long way, "I believe in the Gods as real beings while in ritual, prayer, and meditation, while at the same time am completely logical and slightly skeptical as to avoid irrational fanaticism, looking for the direct experience Gnosis, to confirm my beliefs(or discredit them), while at the same time acknowledging that it may all be in my head" Jesus says those with belief can move mountains. lol, that was long winded.

Cognitive dissonance is not a good thing in the long run. Paradigm shifring in chaos magick is one thing, but refusing to examen one's own refusal to let go of the secular paradigm, when it clearely no longer surves it's purpose, is another.

Great video (: WHat do you think about the left hand path video by Dr Angela Pucca? :o

The Current thinking on 3rd Level is more doing what the Ancestors did or books like New World Witchery and Of Blood and Bones, Chaotic Witch Aunt did a good Episode on that. I Love your Definition of Witchcraft. But I'm a Thelemite and Dr.

I think Crowley’s work and Golden Dawn stuff fit the ‘intermediate’ genre well. They can spark an interest in older source texts. They can provide motivation to expand a particular understanding or particular practice, without which esoteric books can be a little too… esoteric. Like trying to study pure math before establishing an interest in the physics or engineering it’s used for.

This is a great video. I wish more people would make videos like this. I would disagree with one thing that you said about witchcraft. There is definitely witchcraft that involves spirits. And, as far as Left-Hand Path apotheosis, I believe what they mean by the word is becoming a god yourself, not union with a god. I definitely believe that there is a type of fate, but it can sometimes be altered. My Fates are the Norns, and they weave one's Wyrd based on one's actions. The Norn that represents the future actually represents "what should come" and is based on one's actions. If you consult the Norns and discover your fate on your current path is not what you want, you can possibly change what should come if you change your path. But, I do believe some things are destined to happen. You made SO MANY good points in this. This is a video that everyone should watch.

There is a Working With Anger book that is advanced Wicca and/or witchcraft.

What are some intermediate books you recommend?

Soft and hard words are as problematic as low and high magick. :) Soft and low are words that convey being less than high or hard.

My hot take is that you absolutely need every single ritual took and object. You must follow ritual instructions to the dot and only make substitutions if instructed that specific substitutions are acceptable.

Magic helps with an immersion problem “trinity people” have

Completely agree about the dark feminine

The new paradigm metaphor is a larger consciousness / computer “like” reality (thought) generator that we are contained within and are a holographic image of. Gods, angels are information complexes in the larger mind “computer reality generator and after all our minds eye is the same thing on a smaller scale . Talking pagan gods is a gamer describing avatars in the game. Mind with in the larger mind within a larger mind. You, solar system , galactic , universe 😊

No hot take here. I do feel that if someone doesn't at least dip their toes into different waters they'll really never know which body of water is right for them.

Astrology is nothing but the Barum effect in action. If you create the mental causation for the belief in Astrology, then it manifests. As for something that measures 'cosmic cycles,' such is silly. As for needing certain objects in your practice. It's not necessary, although various things affect how you project your will, so it helps. However it doesn't matter what you have on your altar because it is the intention to get to the answer which determines if it works or not. The problem with the spiritual community is that people just make stuff up as they go, without caring if it's true or not.

Than how would you explain professional astrologers predicting major world events? Do you think that's the doing of the collective belief in astrology of many humans? Aaand did you try to test this hypothesis? I think it's possible to do so if you get a quality professional reading as a skeptic and see if it matches up.

You have such a gigantic computerlike brain beyond your years. I think I believe what you believe as well.I was disappointed to see you make an anti communist post on twitter. My hot take is that communism is good, and it doesnt make you a monster to bring up politics at thanksgiving.

The issue with multi-pantheon worship stems from a specific sect of people that want national-paganism. I shall call it that because that is what they want, a peo0le to have a single pantheon without any additions from any other, and no use of any "tools"from.any other faith. I worship Gods from different pantheons, and as far as I am concerned my ancestors adopted Gods from other pantheons and there is no issue with that.

The norn weave the web of wyrd. The past, now and what may be. In general the future has been written but people have free will. You are to go on a trip with friends. But you woke up this morning and knew you should not have ate that last night. So you are not going on the trip. Your friends are hit by a drunk driver and all die. You have changed the future by eating that questionable food last night.

I like to refer to god/myth as 'archetypes' in art and poetry. What kinds of art and poetry have you seen that is too extreme or crosses some line with regard to occult pagan references? There are a lot in film and novels...

if the gods are real, how do you meet them?

Witchcraft: noun: grimoire evocational work when done by a woman

1. Cola 2. Cuernos 3. Ojos rojos 4. Plano eterico y astral 5. Pagar el placer y el poder 6. Miedo al karma 7. Según la raza , deben buscar una deidad cercana a sus raíces. 8. Magia negra y Roja cuerpo de deseo y mental tiene que venir de ancestros. 9. la ciencia y la religión. No debe de estar involucrada pues es para la masa de borregos. 10. El camino del éxito es la autodeificacion de la microestructura hubicado en las tres glándulas prohibidas. 11. Hablas rápido y fácil. Eres sería delicada pero enojada y no perdonas. Aún así es un gusto saludarle señorita Vestal de hestia. Darling the priest. 🔱🌹🔱🔥🔱☀️🔱.

the only thing you got wrong in my opinion is that you keep putting goddesses in the same pot. with the passes of years their caracteristics may have blend together but in the ancient time they were distinct goddesses.inanna is not astarte and they are not venus and venus is not afrodite, study more ancient books and you will see the difference

Still cannot take someone seriously who is reading off a script and not looking at the camera.
