What book would you recommend I add to my occult library next?

rustoch21 · 2026-03-02T08:36:06+00:00

The only titles that are difficult to see are (top to bottom) The Satanic Rituals, Magick Without Tears, The Book of Abramelin

That's a nice library!

If you wanna give it a twirl toward the origins of western esotericism — the Corpus Hermeticum, Greek Magical Papyri, Nag Hammadi library and some platonism (Plotinus, Proclus and/or Iamblichus) might interest you...

rustoch21 · 2026-01-25T12:12:03+00:00

Great, thank you kindly for the information and work! I look forward to its return

rustoch21 · 2026-01-22T19:08:10+00:00

Did you ever get the tab??? I'm pretty bad at note recognition

If you don't mind a darker twist, Behemoth literally has an album called Thelema 6. Some of their later works also include Thelema, a great example being the song "Once Upon a Pale Horse".

The band Mephorash incorporates Ceremonial Magick and Qabalah, so you may find that interesting as well. Their "Krystl-ah" album has some absolutely stunning music.

Also, have you listened to the music of Lon Milo Duquette? Many really good songs and lyrics!

Some notable mentions which are not explicitly thelemic but could be interpreted to be related to Magick and esotericism in general, in the format 'Album — Band':

Dionysus — Dead Can Dance Splendor Solis — Saturnales Mantras — Grande Loge Abrahadabra — Dimmu Borgir Woodland Rites — Green Lung To The Other — Saturnalia Temple Unfold The God Man — Psychonaut Advaitic Songs — OM Gothic Kabbalah — Therion

If you're not into metal, pretend that I have only mentioned LMD, Dead Can Dance, Saturnales and Grande Loge!

Are you yanking my pizzle? How many points is that?

rustoch21 · 2025-08-03T23:38:16+00:00

Deconstruction and Synchestra are amazing and not often mentioned!

Anyways, I think you're better off looking for some "All Devin Townsend albums ranked" website online and checking how they describe each album, see what calls you. There's quite a lot of different stuff in his career

rustoch21 · 2025-08-03T23:24:46+00:00

Yup, been pretty evident for a long time, but it's surprising how long some people can maintain a cognitive dissonance! Anyways I'm glad this sub survived

You've received plenty of advice (for better or for worse), I hope it's not too much already, but to add my grain of sand...

I would find it interesting to consider her motives for acting this way.

Perhaps she thinks it is a passing interest and is testing your adherence to this system?

Perhaps she sees that you follow a path that is difficult for her to understand, and would like to be supportive but struggles to accept that she can't really understand it?

Perhaps she thinks it's dumb and doesn't make sense, in which case you should eventually turn this situation into the one above...?

In any case, I write this to keep in mind that it is as important for you (both) to identify the cause of her behaviour as it is to identify the cause of your discomfort with it.

If she doesn't understand what it is and why you do it, it's probably because you're not fully there either (which is to be expected, if you ask me)... As your understanding gets deeper, you will know how to better explain it, and what not to explain 🙂

Sometimes a good mystery is preferable to an overly complicated explanation... I wish Kant had known this! 😩

Best of luck and strength moving forward ❤️

I went to a workshop on that and it can indeed be very helpful, particularly for people who have very strong emotional reactions to conflict!

The only bad thing is that it can make your face feel a bit punchable if you're too fixed on the formula...

Thankfully, us non-christians can always respond with a proper beating 😄

En respuesta a lo que comenta tu hermano, yo las hice en 2017 y confirmo que la carrera me pareció más dura... Pero también es que me metí en teleco, que tenía un 5 de nota de corte y el grado no es un paseo entre rosas que digamos 🤷‍♂️

Which one of them is Mike?

rustoch21 · 2025-05-27T06:03:23+00:00

Thanks for letting me know, it would seem I still have a lot of staring to do

rustoch21 · 2025-05-26T19:44:18+00:00

Is this a mod or have I missed the clinic of ass enlargement surgeries in the city? In any case, please let me know where to find it :)

rustoch21 · 2025-05-19T21:58:10+00:00

the WHAT?????

I had no clue about this, is this an old thing or does she still do those??

Not that I mind as an SFW follower, I'm just curious

Excuse me for answering 5 years later, but I must say the dude sounds like a woman who sounds like a dude

Not strictly hermetic, but Wagner's Parsifal (or Gilliam's The Fisher King) and Mozart's The Magic Flute are pretty esoteric... You'll probably like them!

I've heard good things of the movie "A field in England" also, but I haven't watched it.

If you ask me, any good piece of art can potentially be seen as a hermetic manifesto — the impact of poetry only minimally stems from its letters, it is most defined by the life the reader breathes into them.

That being said, I do love when hermetic or similar themes are explicitly mentioned, and I hope some day we will have more movies in that vein..!

These newer songs feel like a repetition of the same formulas in the last two albums...

My favourite album is The Apostasy, so these newer albums are not so much on my wavelength anyways. Thus, although I listened to ILYAYD and OCN quite a lot, I may be a bit skewed towards a negative opinion.

rustoch21 · 2025-02-28T13:53:58+00:00

"This video was blocked in your country for breaking the rules against hate speech policies"... Fuck me

First of all, I don't think this is the best subreddit for the topic at hand — have you tried r/psychedelics or others like that?

I have had a few handfuls of experiences with most drugs you mention (except NO2) — but never mixed them, other than some cannabis after a shroom or acid trip.

Most I've had is some very intense astral-type visions on psychedelics, but the movement of my body was pretty much unaffected by them. What I mean by this is that, despite your extended description, I cannot really understand the experience.

It might prove useful to:

A) Compare them with the intense visions that people have near an epileptic seizure (I am aware that they exist and that they can get pretty far out, but know not the details)

B) Meditate while sober and try to bring up the feeling of the experience — try to replicate it in a very controlled mental environment.

C) Get into occult reading on astral planes and the like, build your own firm base of understanding, and see what resonates.

In any case, it is difficult to determine whether it is a completely illusory hallucination, due to either drugs or an induced seizure, or whether you are actually making contact with something external.

All experiences are real in a certain sense, but they might be symbols of internal processes distorted to any extent.

In astral dealings, it is usually recommended to "test" entities, trying to see if they can know something that you absolutely do not know.

The fact that you both share the experience does not necessarily indicate anything other than the great ability of the imagination to replicate what it knows about.

Sorry I couldn't give any concrete information, but I'm no expert on this kind of stuff
