Ok this will take me a while to go through, I am not here to argue I am only going to tell you HOW I came to this path..... I am a truth seeker. I investigate conspiracies. It has come to my findings that most of the major world leaders and what not throughout time have been involved with secret societies, such as Freemasons, Rosicrucians, Golden Dawn, OTO, Skull and Bones, Jesuits, Knights of Malta, Electric Hellfire Clubs, Vril Society, and many many more...
I have also concluded that our entire history, as well as the next million years, has been pre-planned, it's all scripted. They gave us all religions, be it Christianity, Islam, Budhism, Hindu, Jainism, Paganism, Satanism, Judaism, w/e, as it is all the same religion when you get to the top, same religion hidden in allegories and symbols. What we're looking at is a business plan. An "Age" is 2160 yrs (also called a Platonic Year after Plato). We are at the end of the Age of Pisces (Christianity) and entering into the Age of Aquarius (New Age, theosophy). Next stage of the plan... For we are all slaves in this global slave pen....
I am not asking anyone to agree with me here, I am only here to share with you my concerns and to ask of some advice..... For a while I have been skeptical of getting into ritual magic, seeing the obvious freemason implications with such ritual quotes as for example "as above, so below." I have lightly dabbled in this in the past, before I figured all of this out.... And I am trying to be careful not to fall into what I find to be some new age sensationalistic nonsense. But I do think there may be some truth to magic, beyond all this new age "your aura is glowing" junk. And I find this quite possibly, the only road to higher spiritual knowledge. But, I am still a bit skeptical, as I am somewhat afraid I may be playing with forces I can't begin to even comprehend, and I do not wish to sell my soul, or to put it into bondage via come magical contract. So, I have decided to tread carefully.
I am not into any of this wicca or none of the neo-pagan stuff or anything like that, or anything that just sounds too rediculous to believe, such as "my aura is glowing.."... While I do not plan on using such magic to harm innocent people, I also will not be bound by what I feel is new age sensationalist dogma or needless restrictions. Most of the stuff they feed to the masses is crap IMO, it's a watered down new age sugar pill, but real stuff may be out there.. I know that the elites practice with higher levels of this stuff that isn't available to the masses.. Once again, it is not my intention to offend anyone, it's fine by me if you disagree with me, we can agree to disagree. I'm not here to look down on anyone either.
I had lightly dabbled with magic before but I barely did anything with it, my mentor if you will, was pretty experienced at it and he was a Crowley Satanist... This was way before I knew any of the stuff I know now though.... But he said the same thing too, that a lot of the stuff put in bookstores and what not is crap... But that there is good material out there.
My question is, where should I start for learning magic? Any books anyone can recommend?
