Protection Magick: Wards, Shields, and Defensive Systems (THE PROTECTION MAGICK GRIMOIRE), found it on Amazon and it’s in my cart. But I don’t want to buy it before knowing if anyone has heard about it already

Hi there.. I imagine what I’m about to post might not fit in here, and if not, please suggest a more appropriate subreddit.

Last night, while meditating I was shown an ancient text that looked like it was written in Hebrew, Aramaic or a similar Semitic language. I was told that the text was intentionally made complex to overwhelm weak minds and that people with the correct genetics to contain the consciousness of someone that had the potential to understand the texts were identified and became “priests”. I think, also, this is passed on through bloodlines, due to the genetic factor.

I know that sounds very woo-woo, but in any case, is anyone aware of such a thing? I am very ignorant in this area, so it might be something commonly known.

Thanks for any help you can give, and feel free to DM me if you prefer!

I don’t know anything about occultism, can you recommend me books to understand the fundamentals and familiarize with concepts?

I have finished reading Weaving Fate by Aiden Wachter. I wanted other people’s reviews on doing the Black Book and any sucess stories. It is definitely different than I’m used to. my first magical experience was not so good and it required a lot. I have for quite a few years been apart of the Gallery of Magick. somehow this book and an interview with him popped up and I was very interested. I am just not seeing a lot of reviews on Reddit. Would love some others to share their experiences.

I don't mean to be dismissive, but here goes.

In my twenties, I was deep into esotercism, the occult and such. I practised sigil magick, read obsessively about the Golden Dawn and Franz Bardon, and, along the way, became a Freemason (I know Freemasonry isn't inherently esoteric, but there is room for that if if interests you). I read Dean Radin and practised Neville Goddard's techniques.

At 34, I am considerably less enthused with the occult and esoteric ideas. I've been reading the likes of Richard Dawkins and Sean Caroll, and find the natural world quite fascinating on its own. I have also acquired an empirical bent of mind from learning statistics.

I still do not dismiss the Occult out of hand. Much of our universe still remains unexplained and Quantum physics keeps finding new layers to peel back. However, I can't help but wonder if there will someday be a naturalist Theory of Everything.

Has anybody else suffered a similar Dark Night of The Soul?

Questions for Australian aboriginal people in particular. Can you recommend any really good books with spiritual or contemplative content?

Don’t need the historical books or that kind of education texts, I want to read something a bit deeper and more positive or soul nourishing

Long shot but if something like this exists I’d love to know. Thanks fam

Where can I find Ancient Magic, Megnetism, and Psychic Forces by Professor Anderson L.H

Seem like this is a pretty hard find. Haven’t really found any other copy besides the one Joe fels had. Anyone have leads?

Our research organization, The Sparric Institute, has published a few thoughts on the faulty western conception of time, as outlined by writer J.B. Priestley.

To quote The Premonitions Bureau, a book that in part digs into Priestley's writing, "[He] equated a strict, materialist reading of how time passes—each second of our lives flowing remorselessly, one after the other, until death—with the intellectual barrenness of capitalist consumption... He proposed a model of three concurrent times (the present, the unconscious and a collective unconscious)."

Why should we be limited by a conception of time that pushes inexorably forward? Well, we think we shouldn't.

Curious to hear what you all think.
