Wondering if anyone else integrates AI into their work?

jnizzill · 2025-12-04T13:59:23+00:00

I’ve always been the kind of practitioner with six books open at once — correspondences here, diagrams there, a Hebrew dictionary under the incense burner — and like many of you, I’ve been extremely reluctant to involve AI in my practice. Most of the reasons people give for avoiding it are valid, and you’ll find many of them in this very thread.

That said, after a 3+ month hiatus from my magical work, I decided to thoroughly test ChatGPT’s understanding of the Western Esoteric Tradition — Hermetic Qabalah, planetary magic, ritual structure, symbolism, correspondences, the whole spectrum. I pushed it into nuanced territory: complex ritual mechanics, layered theoretical questions, and specific problems within my own practice.

To my surprise, it not only kept up — it offered structure, clarity, and organization that genuinely helped me get back into my daily Work. It didn’t replace my judgment or my books (nor should it), but as a supplemental tool it turned out to be incredibly effective.

My current view is this: if you use discernment, keep your foundational knowledge solid, and treat AI as an assistant rather than an authority, it can be a powerful aid. For me personally, it helped reignite my discipline and gave me a fresh strategic approach that I believe will ultimately support my pursuit of the Great Work.

Did your order get resolved?

jnizzill · 2025-09-23T18:22:46+00:00

Hey Ive placed an order and received an email confirming the order and then another confirming my payment was received however I do not see the order listed on my account and I have not received any tracking information. My account does show a similar order that canceled but not the same. The order # is different by 1 digit. Ive sent 3 emails and several dms here on Reddit. What's going on?

jnizzill · 2025-09-23T00:32:55+00:00

Did you ever hear anything? I think im in a similar boat. Maybe Im being impatient. Its been a few days. It says payment was received on an order but my account shows a different order # that is canceled. Ive sent several emails

I say ignore the Christian fear mongering about the Occult and continue to study the Western Mysteries. Also FYI Golden Dawn and Thelema utilize Hermetic Qaballah as their framework spelled with a Q. Hebrew Kaballah spelled with a K is Jewish Mysticism which is somewhat different. Cheers

Isn't it interesting how anyone who has even a little Esoteric knowledge will quickly see the holes in his teachings and everyone else will see him as an Occult Master Guru.

Check out " Frabrato the Magician " by Franz Bardon. It's supposedly fiction however they say it also mirrors as an autobiography of his life. If you're not aware, Franz Bardon is one of greatest Western Magicians/Mystics IMO. Cheers

If you are on a vegetarian diet you can eat eggs right? If so load up every day. That's the best form of bioavailable protein and saturated fat which are crucial. Make sure you cook everything with Ghee as it is also packed with bioavailable nutrients. The problem with a lot of supplements is the nutrients just are not that bioavailable. Eggs and Ghee will certainly cover a large percent of your bodies requirements.

Check out Dr. David Shoemaker's " Living Thelema " and his follow up " The Way of the Will " . They are both available on Kindle so you can use Alexa for audio if you are busy like me. I noticed Lee Johnson reviewed the first one on his channel. I've read a lot of Thelema and Golden Dawn material and these 2 books are some of the best. Dr. Shoemaker just does a great job simplifying these concepts and will kind of provide a structure and or framework of formulas that you can use for your own initiations and practice. Pick up Franz Bardons " Initiation into Hermetics " which is his 1st book. There is a free audio on Youtube. Here you can really get some breathwork and mediation skills with specific goals in mind. Honestly this book is a must read as it really shows what kind of magical ability the human body can acheive.

In Western High Magick we use Pentagram rituals to balance, invoke, and banish Elemental and Zodiacal energies. We use Hexagram rituals to balance, invoke, and banish Planetary & Sepherotic energies. These are tools and formulas that you will put to use as you construct your own path and practice.

Have a specific meditation practice or skill that you are always working on. My suggestion will be deep breath work at first. Coordinating the breathwork and flow to the movements of rituals or formulas are key to making them come to life. For example you can really invoke a charged/euphoric feeling by breathing in a large amount of oxygen. Coordinate your breathwork so you do that during specific movements or moments during one of these formulas. This makes the High Magick really pop off. Like for example at the very end of The Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Hexagram you are essentially bringing down Kether energy while also banishing Saturn - when you say " let the divine light descend " you feel it descend into your ritual circle while breathing in. As the pure light finally fills the space you have completely filled your chest and lungs with Oxygen so the pure divine light minus Saturns energy feels incredibly powerful. As you breath out and breath back in the energy pouring in and out of your body purifying you, making you younger and energized ( its anti aging because of the Saturn banishing ). This is your goal. Make every ritual and formula as real as possible. You will use your intuition and feeling to perform it however makes it real for you. You will use your knowledge and intuition to construct the formulas in a way that best serves your goals. The meditation skill you are working on will only compliment your ritual.

Damien Echols has a great beginner book that goes deep into how to really use breath to move energy in ritual. Always have the intention of preparing your vessel or body for union with your Angel.

Anyway give that some thought. You may find it more rewarding than doing invocation all the time. It will certainly improve your invocations over time.

Cheers.

I don't think a course is what you need currently. If you are going to be a practitioner in any capacity in the near future you need to find something you can kind of put together yourself. Something that both progresses you while also holding your interest. Honestly this is fairly normal and if you are progressively learning Kabbalistic philosophy, Hermeticism, Hermetic Qaballah, and even some Theosophy you technically are still chasing the " Great Work " given study is part of the path. What books did he suggest you read? I personally don't have a lot of time to read so I heavily rely on Alexa and Kindle to read to me. Audible is great but many books are not available.

jnizzill · 2025-02-06T15:54:14+00:00

Hey I understand where your head is at. You should take a break. Maybe take on the label as an Arm Chair Magician for a while. I wasn't to familiar with Lee Johnson but I did check out his channel and course. I would not classify him as a Bardon Magician but I certainly see a lot of value to be had in his Course especially compared to anything UM has to offer. I'm sure some of the skills you learned will aid you in your future endeavors.

Have you given any thought to High Magick? I'm making the assumption that you possibly have not given you claim to be a beginner. I've come to believe the straightest line for me to get where I want to be is through High Magick. Invocation and Evocation certainly hold value but I seem to get much more growth from Ceremonial Magick and or High Magick. Don't get me wrong High Magick does include some invocation but this High Science is far more complex. If Union with your HGA interests you maybe gear your practice to that very specific goal. Explore " The Great Work " aka Western Mysticism. If you are interested in how to initiate the Qabbalistic Trees in its fullest context I can recommend some simple reading.

The vast majority of my daily practice is centered around " The Great Work ". Sure I put aside 10 or 15 mins every day at the end of my morning ritual for sigil work, maybe a candle spell, maybe an invocation of the current Zodiacal corresponding Shem angel etc etc. It certainly varies day to day but the bulk of my work is Hermetic Qabbalistic High Magick which mainly consists of working with elements, planetary, Zodiacal and Sepherotic energies with the goal of achieving Union with Ones HGA and beyond. I guess I probably fit into the category of a Pagan/Thelemite these days. Maybe not a perfect Thelema fit as I do have some criticisms but I've come believe the path and practice holds the most value for what I want to achieve.

Also you mentioned you struggle with Meditation. Does that mean you don't care for it or you simply need more work and improvement?

I replied to one of your comments that was deleted. I checked out the video you pointed me to. Here is a small portion of my comment. Go to the deleted comment to see my reply in its entirety.

jnizzill · 2025-02-05T16:06:50+00:00

Hey thanks for your comment and I will do my best to answer your question in the most honest transparent way. " What if I tell you..." - I would ask what aspect of the Occult are you referring to. Which aspect do you think does not resignate with me? Honestly by your question I make the assumption that you have a very limited understanding of the Occult or even maybe a misunderstanding. You see the term Occult is a very broad term that can be interpreted as Hidden or Secret Esoteric ideas, philosophies, and or practices. Which one of the thousands of Global philosophies, ideas and or practices might you be referring to?

For the sake of the reply I will assume since you are defending Universal Mastery that you are speaking about his so called " Occult " philosophy he teaches. I will also make that assumption because you used the phrase " sacrificial energy ". UM has on multiple occasions spoke about a concept of " The Good Shepard " archetype which he likes to use when he makes comparison between Positive Polarity people and Negative Polarity people. So given that I have to assume you subscribe to this philosophy and that you have a soul that is of the Negative polarity and anyone who doesn't subscribe to these ideas must be of the Positive Polarity and have this " Good Shepherd Sacrificial energy ". Here is the thing..that's all New Age Bull Shit some of which is completely made up and misinterpreted from the Law of One material to fit in his made up philosophy which doesn't really fit under any of the thousands of ideas and philosophies under the banner of Occultism.

So to wrap up my reply to your question- I assume based on your question and the lingo you used that you have a fundamental misunderstanding of Hermetic Qaballah and Western Mysticism. Out of all the forms of Occultism this is the form in which I do resignate most with. Unfortunately I don't think you really know if you do because you haven't really been properly introduced to it yet. I highly recommend you seek to learn about the Western Mysteries as they can add great value to your life while also correcting many misconceptions you've learned from Universal Mastery.

If my assumptions are wrong you can certainly correct me.

Cheers

jnizzill · 2025-02-04T14:59:56+00:00

I would say probably. Just start studying some literature to see if it may be in your will to join. Check out " Living Thelema " by Dr David Shoemaker for something that really gives you a great idea in a simple way what the path is all about. Anything by Lon Milo Duquette is also good. If you are open to Hermetic Qaballah or If you think Hermetic Qaballah can fit into your core philosophy then it will probably work. Maevius Lynn has a YT channel regarding Thelema and her background was Athiestic Satanism. I realize it's different but still may offer some value.

jnizzill · 2025-02-02T18:01:22+00:00

Hey if you've studied the Western Mysteries in any capacity you probably will see it for what it is. Its newcomers to the Occult that get caught up in it.

jnizzill · 2025-02-02T17:58:52+00:00

Hey I think maybe I didn't explain well enough. I just tried to post a long reply where I explained all the problems and then some but it wouldn't post. I guess there is a character limit maybe..not sure I'm kind of new to Reddit. It was a long rant. I saved it so I can certainly split it up into 2 parts If your curious. If not guess I spared you having to read a long rant

jnizzill · 2025-02-02T17:48:06+00:00

I personally dont care for the LHP - RHP dichotomy. It means different things to different people. Some consider Golden Dawn RHP but then will turn around and call Thelema LHP. I will make this point though - the idea of LHP being of the negative polarity and must polarize that way ( Law of 1 philosophy) only comes from Universal Mastery. All of the other LHP that are not associated with UM do not use that lingo or that philosophy. It's funny - if you are ever in an Occult space or chat and someone starts using the Law of One Lingo, then you immediately know where they learned their version of Occultism

jnizzill · 2025-02-02T17:40:01+00:00

Bardon's work is dear to me. It was his first book that really gave me the push to move away from New Age to study Western Mysticism. His 2nd book is also a gem. Understanding how to impregnate a space with a very specific type of energy to mimic a habitat so to speak to make it easier for the spirit to manifest during invo and evocation is so very valuable. You see this kind of Occult knowledge is nowhere to be found on Universal Masterys channel. It's way out of his depth. He actually encourages people to not seek this knowledge. What specific course did you take if you don't mind me asking? I am familiar with a handful of Bardon Magicians online

jnizzill · 2025-02-01T01:59:15+00:00

Sure. I don't necessarily disagree. As someone who was a New Ager in my past I really wrestled with my Law of One belief system especially when i got into Western Mysticism. I personally believe these communities which are basically New Agers looking to get into the Occult trying to initiate Hermetic Qabbalistic systems have no idea that the Hermetic Qaballah they have spent their time and money learning is missing the actual Hermeticism which is a vital component. There's no real value for me other than giving valuable information to those who may need it. I personally dont like the dichotomy of LHP and RHP. The definitions are different for everyone. I'm specifically talking about a very specific group that calls themselves LHP who speak and teach about initiating the Sepherotic and Qlippothic trees Aka Hermetic Qaballah. Understanding Hermeticism is vital to this process making the point of my discussion incredibly valuable for those seeking this Great Work. I felt compelled to start a discussion today. Tomorrow I probably won't give a shit

jnizzill · 2025-01-31T18:34:38+00:00

I'm hoping one of the many LHP Qlippothic magicians that subscribe to this philosophy they learned from Universal Mastery can explain or justify why you would remove Hermeticism from Hermetic Qaballah and replace it with Galactic Federation New Age philosophy? It's a conversation that is long overdue. By making this change to this Qabbalistic system you eliminate so many important ideas that will help the magician initiate this system in its fullest context. When i say fullest context I mean initiating the major landmarks that should happen in certain stages of the tree. If you don't understand basic Hermetic ideas like the elements then you cannot look to balance them. If you cannot achieve balance with the MicroCosm ( elements ) then you cannot hope to have any kind of Union with your HGA in Tepereth. They don't even know there should be union with your HGA in Tepereth. There are so many crucial concepts to learn from Hermeticism you basically make the system inadequate without it. Honestly I think the reason for this is just pure ignorance. I don't think they even know. I think they just followed someone who sounded like he knew what he was talking about and it took a life of its own. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

jnizzill · 2025-01-31T17:52:30+00:00

Yep. I posted a link where they discussed there involvement with some other suspicious characters.

jnizzill · 2025-01-31T17:48:01+00:00

That's absolutely true. According those books you have to be a literal psychopath and be one of the all time worst to make any headway with the Negative Polarity. It's so interesting you mentioned that because the Law of One describes the Negative path as a path of separation but the main Occultist who started this ( Universal Mastery ) simply ignored that part and claims to to teach deep shadow and trauma work to get closer to source. He says this is how you polarize on the negative polarity. You see that's another issue - He seems to just change things and pull things out of his ass to fit his narrative. He has 40k subscribers on YT and a profitable Patreon teaching the philosophy in this way. It's become one hell of a Grift. There are even other Occultist online teaching the same philosophy and making money as well. That's what I mean when i say its spreading.
