The Black Temple has been designed as a social network for magicians, seekers of truth & enlightenment, and to learn the art of magick. Individuals are encouraged to take part and share what they are currently working on, to assist eachother, and to make this a glorious community of knowledge.
Each user may set their Status. You can use it to announce what you are presently working on, for instance!
Users can comment on eachother's profiles and message eachother privately.
The Black Temple makes available free resources for the aspiring master magus. Resources such as freely available PDF Ebooks, meditations, sigils (both angelic & demonic), and wisdom of the ancient philosophers, and tutorials for different works of energy manipulation & magical operations.
Soon, users may be able to upload and share their own spells, guides, images, and whatever they desire to share with others!
I absolutely love Tarot, and my personal notes on the Tarot may be found. These are quite detailed.
Many of my personal magical notes are, and will be, shared with others. Magick is my passion and my notes are quite exhaustive.
The Black Temple is a blog, documenting the account of one magician's quest for knowledge. Read about my path to knowledge & power. Learn from my successes and my mistakes
Learn from and be inspired by a magician who is willing to share his personal experiences.
The Black Temple offers absolutely free instruction material that one can utilize if they so choose to acquire knowledge and skills. The instruction material is based upon both intellectual knowledge and practical application thereof. Anyone may begin with no knowledge; with diligence, may work their way up to being a powerful wielder of magick!
This instruction is based upon Thelema and the A.'.A.'.; the Tree of Life and the Paths therein. This is also quite entwined with Qabalah.
I remember your previous presence on this website and your ordo -something something- whatever you created.
I also remember your path largely being based upon the left hand path and in particular the works of E.A Koetting.
Take it from someone who actually belongs to the A.'.A.'., there is nothing within the A.'.A.'. curriculum which is remotely connected to the left hand path in any way. If anything, it teaches dissolution of the ego, not reinforcement of it!
Crowley despised such things, and if you are going to label something like that as Thelema, you have either not read enough Crowley or have read too much about Grant and his pseudo-thelema.
Now do the world of occultism a favour, if you want to follow your own path, do so, but don't drag the names of other paths down with you. If you are going to use dark term for the sake of looking cool, the real occultists, and not the teenagers, will never hold you with much thought.
I hope, with you being a 'thelemite', you do not mind my blunt honesty.
I am in an Outer Order of the A.'.A.'. And mostly everything on the sitr reflects this.
Please do not mistake my intentions. It is as described.
Koetting was a useful beginning point, but not at all something I aspire to be.
My greatest inspiration is my current mentor
The Black Temple is not particularly geared toward any path, it will, and does, provide resources for any and all paths!
I myself, again, am part of an Outer Order of the A.'.A.'. that follows the A.'.A.'. corriculum.
The A.'.A.'. system and the left hand path are lragely incompatible in my opinion. How can one seek to enhance the ego and also dissolve it at the same time?
Being in an outer order of A.'.A.'. may not be the same thing as being in the A.'.A.'.- there is the A.'.A.'. and then there are other groups. The A.'.A.'. is a student/teacher relationship and largely individual work, nothing more.
EA Koetting has nothing to do with Thelema and I can't see how a Thelemite would use his system. Especially if they are following the A.'.A.'. system- there is one goal in the first 6 grades- getting yourself read for knowledge and conversation of the holy guardian angel.
Crowley would describe any other practice s 'black magick'.
I'm curious as to where the idea comes from that this site has to do with the LHP, or enhancement of the Ego?
The site has no alignment. As my mentor has told me, a student has no alignment, not to the LHP, RHP, or any such alignments. This comes later, with adepthood, when one chooses their path with the assistance of HGA.
With that in mind, this site is for the student. I wish to share my experiences as I ascend the grades of the A.'.A.'. structure, meditations, sigils, etc.
Please understand, the Black Temple is NOT an LHP website.
In its inception, when I was heavily influenced by E.A. Koeting, it was created as such. But now that I have gained at least a marginal Wisdom, I do not feel particularly attached to any such path, as it were. I feel that when the student is no longer a student, but an Adept, one can choose a path appropriate to their Will.

That's right! Everything leading up to the Knowledge & Conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel is methodology.
Note in my opening post describing the Black Temple, nowhere is it said it is a "black magick" school or anything of the like. It is simply a Network I have created for magicians to socialize with a special Social Network structure.
I will create pages explaining how this works, as I can understand how it may be a little unclear.
The Blog is the main page. Perhaps I should change the structure of the website.
I am a Thelemite, and the website has changed drastically from its inception to reflect this new idealogy. The website is fundamentally, at this time, based on sharing my experiences with the path of the Adept, ascending the Tree of Life.
