like i said it is chaos magick loosely based around Sumerian lore and a sprinkling of Lovecraft lore. doesn’t mean it doesn’t work for people drawn to it since it is built into a system of its own. if mostly built by the author.
I wouldn’t recommend combining systems in this way unless you have a good level of practical experience from both to know if they can safely be combined or have a teacher physical or spiritual who can guide you a bit in it.
some energies do not mix well and can end like a very bad lab experiment complete with detonations and ruin, except in this case the destroyed lab is your life.
I understand the impulse if you are having a lack of practical success in your practice but this is why it is generally a good idea to make sure you build good foundations so you know when and if something is providing results positive or negative. hence why sticking with one tradition or system for long enough to tell if it is a good match for you is always a good idea. Most can take 6 months to a year of really digging into it to notice long term changes related to it.
Some longer if the operation is focused on transformation in a specific system like in the book "kabbalah and the great work of self transformation
" that one from whats in it takes a minimum of about 3 years to go through all the elemental grades if i am remembering correctly.
and As i said from my own experiences the “simon” books have nothing to do energetically with the current, regardless of the smattering of story thrown in.
I have plenty of books even the damn bible it makes a very goo thing combined with Demonology by James. That moment when King James translated the Bible between 1604 and 1611 and prior - in 1597 he wrote a book named Daemonologie.! It’s history.
I have not read such posts nor am I omniscient. I understand people have different opinions about things, so I can accept someone actually liking the book, perhaps even getting good results from it. I however think its fluffy bullshit and will likely continue to do so. Though the last time I read it was in my early 20’s, so I might eventually give it another chance if I get bored enough
If I see someone list physical dictionaries, thesauruses, antonym tomes (yeah, some thesauruses neglect the lovely opposites) then I’m going to fully disagree.
Now encyclopedias… that depends. They have merit if you can house them and get one set from each decade to every 5 year span.
I don’t see any use of maths unless u r into science/commerce instead of humanitarian after High school.
Yea, If I paid a bit more attention in my math class may be my dream of becoming a scientist, Chartered accountant may have materialized.
Studying , instead of LHP rituals also materializes things.
too many of you dont get that this thread is for books you DISLIKE,
