Se na magia do caos os elementos podem ser associados a formas de pensamento (como visto no post anterior) o que pode ser dito das combinações entre esses elementos? E o que pode ser dito das combinações entre as formas de pensamento a eles análogas?

TAROT, CHAPEL PERILOUS AND THE THIRD BIG SECRET.

Besides covering the Eight Circuits of Consciousness, the Kabbalah and other illumination systems, a major topic in Chapter 5 will be using the Tarot properly as intended, i.e. a decryption key for a myriad of magical systems that could be hidden in plain sight.

In fact, I honestly don’t see tackling something like the Kabbalah without such a key. You will either spend years tearing through Crowley’s 777 until both you and the book are worn as thin as the Velveteen Rabbit or just be confused as to how the damn thing works.

The Tarot is simple, efficient and an absolute blast to work with given the proper instructions.

Here I show the first part of Minor Arcana placement, after which will be explained how to place the Major Arcana, then swapping out the Minor Suits/Elements in each Circuit/Sephirot to fit with your personality type and realign them to “unlock the doors” to properly utilize your illumination system of choice. It’s going to be great fun.

Lurv you guys. Kick ass, chew bubble gum and have fun! : 3

HOW TO BE A MAGICIAN 2

"Read lots of books on the subject to get in the mood. Talking about magic with non-magicians is like talking to virgins about shagging. Reading about magic is like reading about sex; it will get you horny for the real thing but it won't give you nearly as much fun.

Reading will give you a feel for what's crap and what can usefully be adapted to your own style. Develop discrimination. Don't buy into cults. Aliens. Paranoia. Or complacency. Learn whom to trust and whom to steer clear or."

Jacob’s Ladder. Jacob’s Ladder is the colloquial name for a bridge between the Earth and Heaven that the biblical Patriarch Jacob dreams about during his flight from his brother Esau, as described in the Book of Genesis. The story of Jacob’s Ladder is actually an ancient allegorical biblical tale describing the Alchemical process of reaching complete Gnosis or what some may call, Sainthood or Enlightenment. A Symbolic Ladder that we all must climb if we wish to reach the Spiritual Heights of the Divine in the Heavens while we are encased in Physical Matter here on Earth. As we climb, we must purify ourselves, our thoughts, habits and actions so that we may reach that seventh and final step of our ascent in order to activate all of our seven senses and DNA.

How to be a magician

“Simple. Declare yourself a magician. Behave like a magician. Practice rnagic every day.

Be honest about your proogress, your successes and failures. Tripping on 500 mushrooms might loosen your astral sphincter a little but it will not generally confer upon you any of the benefils of lhe magic l'm discussing here. Magic is about what you bring BACK from the Shining Realms of the Uberconscious. The magician dives into the lmmense Other in search of tips and hints and treasures s/he can bring home to enrich life in the solid world. And if necessary. Fake it till you rnake it.”

"Pretendemos ser capazes de “nos controlarmos”, mas o controle de si mesmo é uma virtude das mais raras e extraordinárias. Podemos ter a ilusão de que nos controlamos, mas um amigo facilmente poderá nos dizer coisas a nosso respeito de que não tínhamos a menor consciência.

Não resta dúvida de que, mesmo no que consideramos “um alto nível de civilização”, a consciência humana ainda não alcançou um grau razoável de unidade. Ela ainda é vulnerável e suscetível à fragmentação."

- Carl Kung. O homem e seus símbolos.

Esse é exatamente o tipo de frase que só faz sentido quando você vivência a coisa... Puta que pariu, as vezes parece que a minha cabeça esquece metade da merda que eu fiz de propósito só pra manter uma imagem menos fodida de mim... é foda.

The way some people boldly claim that life in higher realms or higher dimensions is purer and therefore somehow more pleasurable makes me think that more people need introduced to the concept of the hedonic treadmill.

Wassily Kandinsky - Improvisação XI

Assim são os momentos escatológicos da História...

Enquanto para uns o mundo se acaba em conflitos cada vez mais destrutivos e complexos, para outros é o momento ideal para simplesmente lamber a própria caceta, como o faz o gracioso doguinho desta pintura.

A frase “cada cachorro que lamba sua caceta” nunca fez tanto sentido pra mim como agora, após rever essa imagem.
