What is it lol?
Hudson Fisher
If you don't know, you shouldn't be in this thread.
Carson Martinez
I myself only a dabbler into occult. My sphere of interest - ceremonial magic (I've only started, I mostly use Donald Michael Kraig's and Lon Milo DuQuette's books) and toltec mysteries (Castaneda and shit)

It's for your own safety, moron. Discussing the Deep Mysteries carries risks.
Ian Perry
Dabbling is dangerous. Knowing enough to open yourself doesn't automatically mean you also know how to close yourself.

Do you really feel protected? Do you really feel safe?
Little advice needed. I'm loosing my energy too fast when i heal or releave pain, can anyone advise me good purifying or shielding methods?
Zachary Mitchell
LBRP and middle pillar are a good general-purpose place to start. Low-level energy work like first level Reiki should also be enough to deal with this.
Ryder Gonzalez
Thanks, seems intetesting. Another one, according to you, what's the best work that links easter and western studies on magnetism and energy flows ? I'm getting a mentor in a few days and i wanna start a bit in advance.
Wyatt Reed
As a Jungian, I would of course recommend Jungian psychology. Jung did a tremendous amount of research, finding the commonalities between various religious, mystic, and shamanic traditions so that he could determine which were the rituals with psychological significance and which were just window dressing to increase suggestibility.
Charles Lopez
Looking for you for a week, finally you're here. Recommend me an order of books to finish and proceed with my practices. I'm pretty new but Jung's ways got me all hooked up.
Joseph Young
The guys eho eat human livers and hide behind the guise of academia.
Cooper Wright
I already looked it up a bit and i find his work to be interesting in the archetypal study, even though i still can't get to use this knowledge to achieve things. You think that adopting an archetype conduct could be useful if i find myself already linked to it in certain ways?
Ryan Nelson
It's going to depend a lot on what speaks to you personally. I could give you a list of some of the books I've found useful for myself over the decades, but that's no guarantee you'll find them equally useful. Remember, which paradigm you ultimately choose matters less than your ability to buy into that paradigm.
But since you asked, I'd recommend Julian Jaynes' _Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind_, Joseph Campbell's _Hero with a Thousand Faces_, Richard Bach's _Illusions_, and essays by Meister Eckhart.
Julian Jones
I have a question for you do you know of any seal or ward i can tattoo onto me for protection against negative energy and evil spirits if so can you post them for me
Camden Murphy
Yes, you begin to see the reality behind the stories and religions and archetypes. And Jungian active imagination exercises -- based largely on traditional mystic and shamanic rituals -- are very good for digging up the archetypal manifestations and allowing you to interact with them. Jung himself took long walks in the forest with a demon, for example, with whom he discussed much of his psychological model. It wasn't a physical entity per se, but rather an archetypal manifestation of an element of his own personality. These personality fragments, while still being internal to you, are also ancient and powerful, and capable of empowering you greatly if you have the strength of Self necessary to risk invoking them (as it's very easy to lose yourself within the archetype -- what some would call demonic possession).
Daniel Collins
Thanks again for yor answer, I'll dug deeper then. I had a few contacts with guérisseurs in the past, ever met one?
Nathan Gomez
The lesser seal of Solomon is one, and it's the one posted in the OP. But really it's going to come down to your own paradigms. Remember that the power doesn't come from the symbol itself, it comes from *you*. All these rites and rituals and sigils and symbols are there just to act as a sort of lever for increasing the power of your own Will through suggestion. A person who has total faith in the power of a Spongebob Squarepants tattoo would be much better protected than someone for whom her or his heptagram or lesser key of Solomon tattoo means little.
Joshua Young
I may have, but the sort of practitioners I tend to associate with are... eclectic. They tend not to adhere too much to a single paradigm and instead develop their own mythology. I've never had much patience for True Believers.
Daniel Sanders
Thank you
Eli Davis
I'm talking more of practitioners of the healing arts, while being unattached to any religion or dogma, just pure energy being tamed and put to use for the greater good, most of those don't follow any principles than those discovered by them, which is a bit strange considering they all feel the energy almost the same way... I'm talking small house in a lost village kinda healer.
Jose Robinson
I made that seal couple days ago. Works like a charm, get it?
Aiden Diaz
I don't do much energy work myself. My own interest lies in lucid dreaming and harnessing the power of archetypal entities by finding them in myself. I guess you could say I'm into invocation as my area of expertise.
Benjamin Russell
Yeah, that's what i thought. Thanks for the pointers user, may you discover yourself.
