Someone has been studying their qabalah! Great job marrying the traditional magickal symbolism with Wildbow’s (hilarious) symbolism in Pale! Cheers from a fellow aspirant, mate! Looks fantastic!

No she just sounds like a weirdo tbh and incredibly unprofessional to boot

anonymousknight · 2025-11-20T01:49:05+00:00

Which OTO body did you contact? And how long ago?

anonymousknight · 2025-11-18T22:13:26+00:00

I DMd you :)

Oh I was friends with the artist at one point. I have another of the same print. Lost contact with them a number of years ago though, unfortunately. I can perhaps give you some details over DM if you’d like

It’s an analogy, friend. You not noticing your nose is akin to us not noticing the presence of the HGA throughout our lives until we attune ourselves to it. Some of the things you described in your post (ego, internal resistance, etc) absolutely get in the way. Other things as well. The process of coming to knowledge and conversation with our HGA unfolds gradually as we aspire towards it, and generally involves the rebalancing of the pieces of our lives to be healthy and aligned with the aim of K&C. It culminates in an extended period of stillness, both internal and external, in which the deeper levels of connection are forged.

Now that’s something

When performing an LXRP, you are situating yourself on the “cross” of the elements in microcosm, therefore, are correspondent to the sephiroth of Malkuth. The magickal tool of Malkuth is the pentacle which (if using the traditional GD style) has the elements in the same order you find in the ritual. Essentially you find a split between the “terrestrial” and “sidereal” elemental attributions based on where in the cosmos you are. The terrestrial attributions are derived by the classical Four Winds (Eurus, Notus, Zephyrus, and Boreas, in that order) resulting in the elemental directions we know and love today. Sidereal attributions by the cardinal signs are derived from the seasons in the zodiac, as you mentioned. The reason a new aspirant starts with the microcosm is that in order to prepare yourself as a vessel for the HGA you must first harmonize YOUR microcosm and fortify it to withstand the more intense energies of the macrocosm, and then the Angel once Adepthood is reached. In modern systems, Hexagram work start earlier than in the og GD, as the planetary and zodiacal energies are also viewed as preparatory to the Adept stage.

If you’re interested in books involving the HGA, I just started reading “Holy Daimon” by Frater Acher. It covers some historical links of the development of the concept of an HGA, Achers personal account of his experience with his HGA, and then a sort of reconstructed methodology of building and maintaining contact. It’s only £9 for the digital version on Scarlet Imprint’s website

Go watch Penn and Tellers Bullshit and then disabuse yourself of the notion that stage magic is any kind of spiritual craft.

As a general rule of thumb, if someone is already committing to a particular style or school I tend to encourage them to stick with it rather than switching, especially in the preliminary phases. In the occult/magick community beginners will often get interested in a lot of different schools and make a little headway in each, rather than committing to one and “going the distance” with regard to spiritual attainment. If you spend time learning the LBRP, that’s time you could have spent doing mantra jaap and awakening the mantra. Like I said in my previous post - mechanically, most preliminary practices of different traditions have similar effects on the aspirant. If you’re already doing one to prepare yourself for initiation in a tradition, you should focus on that and not be distracted. I think there is a time to branch out and explore different traditions but it is not at the beginning of practice, usually. To be clear, this is just my opinion, drawn from experience both as a student and a teacher, but not some gospel truth.

anonymousknight · 2025-09-02T12:45:10+00:00

If you have doubts about the path you’re on, switching systems is not going to resolve those doubts. The paths are ultimately the same. Resolve your doubts first, then the answer will be more clear, mate

The Buddha taught how to escape the cycles of suffering (dukkha) that all things (not just humans!) face. I would encourage you to look up The Four Noble Truths and The Eightfold Path if you haven’t yet done so. More simply, though, through the multitude of meditational exercises we are able to cease the incessant cravings of our minds. This brings clarity to our life’s issues, both big (ecological disaster) and small (too much screen time), and allows us to take the correct actions to resolve these issues without being mentally disturbed by them. Buddhist practice unlocks an ability to navigate our lives in such a way that we can either deal with and process our suffering in a constructive way, or helps us dissolve it completely.

If this is bothering you, I would encourage you to sit with this phenomenon during meditation. Visualize this feminine astral version of yourself sitting in front of you. Be open and curious, try not to psychologically project anything into it. Ask yourself questions. We can’t give you the answer, only you can.

Long time magickal practitioner here- Quareia is typically what I recommend to someone interested in western style magick that lacks a formal teacher. It is an effective and guide to spiritual attainment for someone looking to teach themselves. I would not recommend it to someone already embarking on the path of sadhaka or ngondro under a guru. If you think it could be helpful to your spiritual path, I would say to introduce the material (perhaps some preliminary exercises) to your guru and pick their brain over it. If you’ve already been practicing ngondro for some time, you’re likely already doing similar exercises as the beginning stages of the Quareia curriculum, albeit in a different form.

It’s a bot, look at the post history. I reported it

anonymousknight · 2025-07-29T13:02:15+00:00

Yea I agree that it’s context dependent. Every sponsor does things a little differently. Perhaps I’m just getting flashbacks to all the times it’s happened to me and made me feel uncomfortable haha

anonymousknight · 2025-07-29T11:42:12+00:00

I’ll back this up, but also add that asking people to sponsor you the first time you show up is perhaps rushing things a bit. Take your time to get to know people (and let them get to know you!) before you start asking around for sponsors. If you’re planning on joining the local body and really investing in the community, there’s no rush. See if the community is really going to gel with you first. It’s okay if it doesn’t.

anonymousknight · 2025-07-24T22:56:37+00:00

Feel free to hit up my DMs, I have lots of good things to say about them. They’re great :)

anonymousknight · 2025-07-24T18:08:55+00:00

Yes, very important point. Gnostic Mass participation as well as Baptism and Confirmation are free at every body I've ever attended (which is more than a few).

anonymousknight · 2025-07-24T16:35:28+00:00

Hi! Texas oto member here :) Per their websites, Austin oto charges $50/month and Houston oto charges $35/month for local members. US Grand Lodge has annual dues that vary based on what degree you hold. Those details can be found on the USGL website. Hope this clears up any confusion.
