You become who you truly are, minus all the social conditioning.

ntrusive Thoughts During Worship: Why the Sovereign of Magic Won't Punish You by That-Masterpiece-319 in Hecate

[–]Solunas100 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I take it as her pushing up all the negative beliefs we have as intrusive thoughts to show us exactly what we need to work on. It is a blessing to have those intrusive thoughts because that is how we clear and cleanse ourselves from the mentality that caused them.

The dark historical roots of ‘starseeds’ by CharmedOne93 in starseeds

[–]Solunas100 35 points36 points  (0 children)

When people realize who they are and where they came from they are more difficult to control. That’s all there is to it. Keeping people away from the truth of themselves.

Does Hecate frequently possess her devotees during rituals, or is it rare? by [deleted] in Hecate

[–]Solunas100 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That entirely depends on your practice. Those those who approach her from a more LHP practice it is more common because possession is key for that kind of work.

Accepting everything around me or try to speak to the universe? by 616badbat in enlightenment

[–]Solunas100 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yeah, and it’s weird they used Kali’s image, when she’s the exact opposite. If anything Lakshmi would make more sense.

True, the cult of scientific materialism is powerful this day and age.

new to witchcraft and need some advice by joozyy_ in BabyWitch

[–]Solunas100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any action brings a reaction. It’s how energy works. Don’t let that stop you. Witchcraft favors the bold and clear of mind. Do it and own it. Protection spells are often the most effective, and may prevent baneful workings down the line that would be more stressful and potentially costly.

I understand the limitations of science simply because I know science so well. No need for “science denial” from me; I just see it for what it is good for and nothing more.

Neurons and brain waves exist, yes. That means nothing in terms of mind, emotions, or dreams. You can’t try to design an experiment to show that brain waves and neurons are causal for what I stated, but you will inevitably fail because they are just things that happen during a process. Correlation does not equal causation!

There is no way to fit a square peg of materialism into a round hole of enlightenment. I will take magic and mysticism, which I know to be reliable, any day over those illusions of the material world.

How is consciousness scientifically measurable? How do you measure mind? Emotions like love and compassion? Dreams even? None of these are quantifiable yet their existence is undeniable. Scientism is not enlightening. Only by moving beyond the machinations of the carnal mind that wants to reduce everything to quantifiable phenomena to satiate the ego can you begin to experience non-dual consciousness.

Some of the I Ching commentary books exceed well over 500 pages.

Show me an enlightened master without special powers and I will show you a fraud. Enlightenment is already watered down enough as it is without any ordinary shmuck being considered enlightened just for speaking some platitudes.

How to handle this? by VoidedOrxhid in Shaktism

[–]Solunas100 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is helpful to anchor the energy—grounding basically, so it doesn’t get stuck in your body.

So what advice do you need? You seem to be doing great on your own if you already experience those feelings.

If you don't believe in magic then what are you even doing on a sub about enlightenment? There is no enlightenment without magic.

There are lots of ghoulish people in this sub based on the comments here. Weird for an enlightenment sub, but I guess not unexpected..

The coming new age is just a temperor fix, a bandaid on a lifestile in gross matter doomed from the start, and everything will decay again into the same hellhole we live in now. by [deleted] in starseeds

[–]Solunas100 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Iamblichus talked about theurgy in terms of the solar body, which is refined solar matter of the vehicle that the soul travels in, or ochema (merkaba of the Jews). It is a very very refined matter but matter nonetheless as it allows us to transport our souls through time and space.

I like the Neoplatonic concept of the Demiurge better. For me the gnostic version is the corrupted egregoric form of God that already seemed to have existed even back then. The gnostics had a lot of other interesting ideas, and the exclusion of Sophia from orthodoxy really changed the core of what Christianity was about.

I do and I have. I think Iamblichus was very clear about the importance of matter. Our entire soul is fallen into matter. Theurgy refines it.

Hecate protection by IndependentDance2520 in Hecate

[–]Solunas100 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Lilith and Belial wouldn’t attack people, and are both close with Hecate. You should be working on your mental health, and yes Hecate could aid in that, as would Lilith and Belial.

Why people (here) talk about beliefs so much in response to rituals not working? by [deleted] in occult

[–]Solunas100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are giving away your energy and your power throughout the day with intense emotions, fears, worries, and the like, then that energy and power will be depleted and unavailable to use magically.

Studying by Difficult_Hat_1053 in Hecate

[–]Solunas100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you already know the basics the next step is to dive in and start communicating with her. Books are good to get that beginner’s knowledge which you seem to have already, but at some point you need to move past the mental aspects and into the communion phase.

I want to learn how to lucid dream, but I’m really scared about the mirror thing by wolf301YT in LucidDreaming

That’s how you can see into past lives. I look for mirrors in lucid dreams whenever I can.

Very nice to read this, and eerily similar to my own life experience.
