The thing about geometry is that it has postulates. Symbols and their relationships imply rules and formulas. So, when you combine magical symbols with geometry, it implies a relationship, rules, and postulates. It really frustrates me when people circumscribe magical ciphers and words within geometric figures where there are no underlying axioms, postulates, or theorems.
Combining magical symbols with geometry without any type of postulate that you can prove makes the entire thing pointless. What is the relationship between that magical symbol and that angle? That is a 45-degree angle. What relationship does that angle have with that magical symbol that denotes a magical entity? I can’t look at most magicians’ magical seals without cringing. They never provide formulas or explain why they used those formulas. The lack of structure undermines the potential significance or effectiveness of the magical practice if the magical system is predicated on structure.
It irks me even more when the seal has arbitrary or random planetary or zodiac symbols that have nothing to do with the geometry and angles of what those symbols denote. If you are going to use geometry in your magic, then it should have logical rules and principles and a connection to the geometry. The complex magical seals are pretty, but they mean absolutely nothing. I would rather have their fictional narrative, i.e., a mythology.
Mathematics is a symbolic language. While it is a precise language, it is a language nonetheless, so it tells a story. When you are working on an intuitive level where precision is not needed, everyday language like this will suffice, where a visual representation can be basic glyphs. Storytelling is a more intuitive and engaging approach to understanding mystical concepts compared to the opaque and cryptic symbolism of complex magical seals. The effort in appearing to be legitimate without being legitimate irks me when a basic story and illustration will suffice.

The thing that I associate with magic the most is not religion or even spirituality. It’s wonder, amazement, and excitement. To me, it is the joy of creation and expression. When speaking with occultists, there is no wonder in their work. Their work is dogmatic, ritualistic, and cultish. I prefer the creative and exploratory dimensions of magic over the rigid structures found in occultism.
So, am I an occultist? Not really. I am a magician. I will use occult lexicon, models, and paradigms when talking about magic online or speaking with occultists; however, for me, occultism does not inspire wonder, amazement, and excitement. I view magic as an art and technology that transcends and is more abstract than occultism. I am enraptured by the atavistic and uncivilized resonance, the sublime romantic undertones, and the transcendental essence of magic. I am fascinated by its ancient, primal, and untamed qualities. I find beauty in its mysterious and awe-inspiring nature. It’s passion and desire made manifest. As a hedonist, my magic blends desire with will; the objects of my enchantment must kindle my desires. Fantasy, entwined with desire, becomes the catalyst for my inspiration.
After a series of disturbing conversations with a particular individual, I am reminded of how too many occultists are obsessed. Obsessions are not passions. Obsessions are like addictions, without the physical dependence or the desensitization. An obsession is something we compulsively do to avoid feeling bad. It is a distraction from neuroticism and intrusive thoughts. Since it displaces those intrusive thoughts and brings relief, many people see it as a way to cope.
A way to think about it is there is a difference between having an orgasm and urinating. If you were to hold in your urine for a long time and then use the bathroom, you would experience relief. However, it is entirely different from an orgasm. It’s similar to that. They are not feeling pleasure; rather, they feel relief from distracting themselves from the intrusive thoughts.
This particular occultist I am thinking of conflated obsessions with passions and relief from intrusive thoughts as passion or joy. I do not think many occultists actually even like magic or occultism. I rarely see them express anything positive; instead, it seems as if they use the esoteric aspects of occultism to mark an in and an out group. They then antagonize or have contempt for those in the out group who are not aligned with their particular esoteric group, culture, or niche. Instead of enjoying magic, they use it as a coping mechanism to deal with neuroticism. I think they are obsessed with it because it allows them to cope with things like trauma, depression, etc. It’s a drug to them that doesn’t result in physical dependence. There is no genuine joy or pleasure. Obsessions are not passions.

People are not as mystically, magically, or psychically disconnected as we think they are. Magic that you can interact with is not like a ‘set it and forget it’ thing. It stays associated with you per your potential to interact with it. I’m seeing many people who have the wrong idea about servitors…
Locality can be interchanged with causality in a lot of cases, so we can say entities are connected if they can cause a change in each other. For example, if I throw a ball at someone, there is a scalar of speed and a vector of velocity that carries the ball through the air and hits them in the head; thereby causing a change in their state. If I threw a ball at a person from my house, and they were on the other side of the world, the ball would hit the wall and not them. There is no connection because they are not local. Systems are connected on some level if they can cause a change.
The above example is ephemeral because there is no prolonged connection beyond those moments. Magic is more persistent because a person can interact with a spell they’ve cast or an entity they are interacting with per intent. If you create a spell, servitor, etc., and you can interact with the spell or the servitor, you’re still connected. If you can control a servitor, you are still connected; therefore, the servitor is a part of you. Since the servitor is connected to you via causal relationships, that servitor you created can exert an influence backward on you. What does that mean? That means if you set a servitor after someone and can control that servitor, there is a locality between that person, the servitor, and your mind, so a magician can get into your head or influence the servitor to influence you via that open channel. You can cut by cutting the connection to the servitor; however, that implies you can’t control the entity. It’s fully autonomous. If you cut off your hand, your hand is not a part of you; however, you can’t move that hand anymore. Your ability to exert a causal influence on something implies you are in that thing’s locality and that there exists a potential inverse where you can be pushed back on and influenced. Spells connect things, and servitors are persistent daemons. You are disconnected from a system, network, or entity if there is no potential causal relationship to imply a local connection.
We can think of the psychic plane as having systems of connected concepts and experiences. Personally, I am skeptical of the realism of astrology and astral planes, so I believe that any celestial metaphor or analogy should have some support. We can point to an area that is a cluster of hateful concepts and experiences and we can say that the influence of those clusters is the dominant force for that domain. We say that things are in a solar system based on something called a hill sphere.
The Hill sphere is a concept in celestial mechanics that defines a region around a celestial body (like a planet or a moon) within which its gravitational influence dominates over the gravitational influence of another body. We can simulate a psychic analogy via Graph Theory and force-drawing algorithms like Force Atlas. That will render something that looks like a semantic constellation. In this, there is an attractive force on connecting nodes after a random repulsive force is exerted on every node on the graph. The forces acting on each node are continuously recalculated based on their positions and the strengths of connections (edges) between them. This iterative process continues until the forces reach equilibrium, meaning that the nodes settle into stable positions where the forces balance out. With this, we can see a clustering of concepts, archetypes, patterns, experiences, etc via associativity and their correspondences. Within clusters formed by the Force Atlas algorithm, certain nodes may emerge as more central or influential than others. These central nodes often have higher degrees of connectivity within their respective clusters, meaning they are more strongly connected to other nodes in the cluster. Nodes with higher connectivity within a cluster are akin to bodies with larger hill spheres in celestial mechanics because they exert greater influence over the surrounding nodes within their cluster. So, there is a weak analogical connection between psychic bodies hill spheres in celestial bodies.
While we are physically in the same place, when people engage with psychic planes, a part of them is moving within those domains where there is an implicit influence. Mass is a property that resists acceleration, so we can think of a psychic analogy as what we will or will not do. If you are psychically being displaced as you move towards a domain that exerts a greater influence, you are accelerating towards that thing which implies there is an inverse relationship between the influence of your will and that body. You are paying for your magic through sacrificing bits of yourself, in other words, which includes your sanity.

You know… after being involved in occultism since I was 10, weird has gotten… well, boring. All occultists seem to be the same, and many of the ones I knew in high school are still exactly like they were in high school. Weird is so normalized, it’s, well… normal. I’m bored to tears with occultism. Like, so fucking bored with it. If I see another faux magic cipher that feels like a cipher but is really someone who got high during a ritual and just sketched out their trip, magical sigils created through Austin Spare’s substitution technique inside a circle with Theban or the Malachim language around that circle or any other basic ass geometric shape on a page with bones and skeletons, I will fucking scream. My first formal grimoire that I kept in high school had scripts written in the Malachim alphabet. That was high school! The runes of Elder Futhark always felt dissonant and ominous to me, so I never messed with that. I only use systems that are resonant with me, which, at the moment, are systems I’ve created myself.
It’s like, “Oh, another deer skull mask. Oh, another basic ass monoalphabetic cipher that’s not even a polyalphabetic cipher just because it looks spooky.” By the way, any system of sigils that’s a monoalphabetic cipher is basically ASCII. The sigils these people create aren’t even comprehensive ideograms to capture the basic contours of the experience, so they are mystically useless, and they pretty much imitate the grapheme of the English alphabet.
These completely normal, mediocre people honestly believe they are edgy and weird. They’re boring. They are not innovating or transforming anything. They are just churning out things typical of that genre. They are living memes. I’m so fucking bored looking at occultists’ work nowadays.

Tara expresses my view on magic. It is pretty much my attitude about magic, which is why I don’t get along with a lot of occultists nowadays.

The lack of understanding that a lot of Spirits will only or mostly cooperate under certain circumstances & conditions, but also something rather troubling, the fact that way too many people either in these Magic/Occult communities & observers see thousand dollar talismans being sold by Magic users and think, this is was represents all of Occultism including so called #CeremonialMagic and that everything MUST be expensive, when in fact most #Mages do not buy $1500 jewelry on the regular.

So, after witnessing many of my enemies’ lives falling apart, I assumed they were trying to cast spells on me. If you know, you know. I examined our house wards and discovered that my husband made a modification to give the protective measures a rather nasty retaliatory bite.
So, I went on a hunt and found what my husband did. My husband has no chill, so I feel sorry for those who got hit with what he put in there. It was a sympathetic and contagious magical measure that I taught him. You create an effigy of yourself with things like your hair and fingernail clippings so that it intercepts curses. Then you place it in a box with hemlock, nightshade, and items such as a consecrated and enchanted mirror. Yes, there was actual belladonna in the spell box.
It acts like a lightning rod for a curse, draws the curse away from you, and activates a counter-curse that draws on the sympathetic property of hemlock and nightshade. Sympathetic magic works via like interacts with and attracts like, so since curses, poison, and hemlock have like properties of causing harm, they interact via that association. The same goes for the mirror.
Contagious aspects of magic are similar to entanglement. The idea is that once things come in contact with each other, they are connected such that one can influence the other. With things that were a part of you that are separated, the ‘entanglement’ is so strong that, in some cases, it can act as a substitution for you; therefore, a curse that uses your image will be drawn to that image, i.e., effigy.
My husband seems to have attached paper talismans that evoke Saturn, indicating that he wanted the curse to disrupt their lives by placing never-ending problems in their path. He didn’t tell me, of course, because he knew I would object. If you folks are reading this, that shall teach you. While I won’t curse you, people in my life that love me might not be so forgiving.

Here is your reminder that this is not a social media profile; this is a blog. A blog that is not my main one and that will be infrequently updated, seeing as all of social media is a dumpster fire that is filled to the brim with misinformation and people trying to stoke paranoia.

People in occult demographics, occult cohorts, and occult niches feel isolated and as if there is no place for them to go after they, themselves, set fire to their own communities. I’ve been around occult, pagan, and paranormal online spaces for decades, and I have seen them gradually set fire to each and every community. Now, many of them have no place to go since every online space is a dumpster fire that they, themselves, set.
I know I have been ranting against occultism for a while now, but another disturbing interaction with a schizophrenic woman – no, not that one from DKMU, a different one – has me thinking about how occultism enables mental illness and how antisocial personalities inevitably set fire to everything. That person going on a schizophrenic rant about me – not the one from DKMU, a different one – inevitably got them banned. That person is from my millennial cohort of online energy communities from the early 2000s. The same group of people has been running around setting fire to each one of their communities, and when one goes down, they move to a different one and destroy that one too. It’s sad, but it didn’t have to be this way.
Occultists are the ones destroying their own niche because they refuse to get psychiatric care and, instead, enable each other’s paranoid, parasocial delusions. Witches.live is slowly burning down, and everyone is jumping ship to Pagan Plus, for example, albeit those people jumped ship from Twitter. Let’s be honest, occultists and the occult niche acted as a vehicle to carry a lot of the conspiracy theories that spread, so occultists were Trojan horses and arsonists. I’m very disappointed and sad about how the same group of people will sabotage their and other people’s lives. I’ve been practicing magic since I was 10, so I’ve seen a lot.

You know, I give mentally ill people a lot of grace; however, that grace ends when you are aware that what you are doing is immoral. Empirically, immoral behavior is associated with antisocial behavior and behavior where you benefit at someone else’s expense. Antisocial behavior is not introversion. Can I be antisocial? Yes, I can be. I am not a saint. I am often a devil; however, I make no excuse for it, and I try to isolate myself away from negative influences.
The issue I have with many DKMU members is they have effectively given up trying to improve as people. They have decided. I’m not going to name any names, but I saw a DKMU member on Bluesky try to rationalize their parasocial and antagonistic behavior by calling themselves a goblin and then naming it gleeful screeching. They were rationalizing their mentally ill behavior and doubling down instead of regulating themselves or asking for psychiatric intervention. I have seen this person try to form a parasocial relationship with a crow, so they are deeply ill. If you know, you know. She’s aware that what she is doing is wrong; however, she has decided to do the wrong thing, anyway, and she is rationalizing her bad behavior.
Karma is just a metaphysical abstraction of cause and effect, i.e., consequences. There are, and have been, consequences to her behavior that this person is feeling on a medical level; however, they still, of their own free will, choose to do the wrong, unhealthy things knowingly.
She, and a lot of members of DKMU, have given up living. They have given up progressing. They’ve decided to live in a miserable, nihilistic, antagonistic space. That is the last I will speak on this person because I find them to be very sad. It is deeply depressing watching them destroy themselves because they have given up living.

Because it needs to be said again:
Psychosis is not gnosis. Taking LSD, psilocybin, MDMA, salvia, or even alcohol and reinforcing those states with fictional, mythological narratives through ceremonial magic can cause a psychotic break. You are not magical. You are not enlightened. You have broken your brain. Psychosis has degenerative effects on your brain, so you are altering your brain in irreversible ways. I know this from experience.
My step-grandmother worked herself into such a drug-induced state of psychosis that, as a senior, she has to be heavily sedated, causing her to gain weight and become massively overweight, with her mind numb. That’s a whole other saga, but my step-grandmother held religious and esoteric beliefs, subscribing to conspiracy theories, and was a heavy drug user in her teens and young adult years, although she has been sober for almost 30 years. It permanently messed her up. We know she isn’t taking her meds when she is sharper; unfortunately, that means she is psychotic. We found out she needed to be heavily medicated when she attacked a police officer in my junior year of high school.
Again, you are not doing magic when you take drugs, force yourself to believe in things that are not real, and purposefully incubate a delusion, reinforcing this with ostension and pantomime via ceremonial magic and ritual. You are driving yourself insane and giving yourself brain damage that you will have to deal with as you get older. Once again, I am seeing the marauder and the extremely online occulture crowd drive themselves into a psychotic break because they believe that’s how you do magic.
Here’s what people need to remember: The conventional, modern definition of magic is that magic is changing reality in accordance with will. While I deeply abhor and despise Aleister Crowley and Thelema, I like that definition because it converges on the definition of art. It’s more of an affirmation of magic as an art that fits nicely with pragmatic theories of aesethics. Conventionally, art is the deliberate and willful manipulation of elements, channels, and mediums, so the modern definition meets the definition of art.
What is art? A rock I found outside becomes art when I think it has an aesthetic quality, say it is art, pick it up, and exhibit it through displaying it as photography on my social media. So my appreciation and deliberate interaction with it as art is what makes it art. So, there is a link between modern definitions of magic and pragmatic ideas of art via intention and will. Magical potency is predicated on will. Compulsion, obsession, and addiction are the inability to willfully and deliberately control oneself, so they are inversely related to will. That means drug addiction, obsessions, and paranoia that emerge from mental illness, and psychosis cancel out your ability to do magic.
Magic isn’t psychosis. Gnosis is not psychosis.

I treat this blog as a social media presence. This is not my primary or personal blog, nor is my personal blog public. So, for anyone stalking this blog looking for personal stuff, that blog isn’t on the Internet, let alone the fediverse. It’s on my local LAMP web server. Also, keep in mind that I do not owe random strangers on the Internet anything, let alone the truth. So, treat whatever you read on here with a grain of salt. Anything more is a parasocial narrative you need to seek help for.

I have a negentropic effect on psychic and magical energy. I attract it, disorder it, and reformat it. It’s similar to how ice forms as a consequence of water freezing. Heat naturally flows from warmer to colder regions, following the fundamental principle of thermodynamics. As heat moves, it contributes to increased disorder or entropy in the system it leaves. Paradoxically, this process of heat dissipation can lead to the formation of ordered structures, such as ice. The apparent counter-intuitiveness arises because, while local order may increase, the overall entropy of the system and its surroundings tends to rise. That is an analogy for how magical energy flows into me, is disordered and dissipated, and then is organized within my psychic and magical field.
If someone were to cast a curse on me, I would absorb and dissipate the curse naturally and then reorder the energy for whatever purpose I wish. Normally, I just invert it, which sends it back to the caster. Magical and psychic energy flows into me the same way heat flows into a cold area. That’s why other people’s magic has no effect on me.
I frequently accidentally destroy wards people placed on areas without intending to if I walk by them. I accidentally disenchant other people’s talismans all the time. It takes effort not to do so. Some people would call me a type of energy vampire. The psychic and magical influence I have is related to the number of magicians in my locality, so the more magicians casting magic on me, the more magic I have since I am innately dissipating, disordering, and reordering their energy as potential energy within my noetic sphere . I can control it very well remotely, such as with interactions on the Internet, but if, in person, a magician were to touch me, their psychic energy and tacit knowledge about how to do magic and what it seems like to do magic would flow into me, giving me an intuitive understanding of what they know and allowing me to imitate it. That’s a large reason why I don’t touch people. The siphoners from Vampire Diaries are a good fictional example of how I work.

You know, trying to link classical elements to Quantum Mechanics is really dumb in hindsight, considering that Aristotle proposed his theory of the classical elements as a criticism to Atomism, which is the historical precursor to Quantum Mechanics. They literally say opposite things. I’m so tired of quantum woo. I’m ditching classical elements in my paradigm. They are really symbols for phase states and the idea of emergence, anyway.

Fun fact about me: I don’t consume any occult media, and I have all notifications off. I do not pay attention to any social media feeds whatsoever. That’s why my brain has not been rotted. My media consists of all science fiction audiobooks, horror podcasts, gaming streams that I watch with my husband, and science podcasts. The conspiracy theory insanity doesn’t reach me because I don’t engage with it.

Why does it seem like the leader of every online occult community is an antisocial lunatic that wants to start some type of physical cult? I swear, I have literally almost seen all of them with plans to buy up a lot of real estate and land to develop a commune, compound, etc. The insane thing is that when I was involved with early psionic communities – like Vsociety – a group of them actually did that. They created a cult and had people live with them. It was called The Divine Science.
Okay, I am done with my rants about occultism that have spanned a few posts now. I try my best to avoid joining in on the negativity on social media, which is why I try to avoid negative, argumentative discourse that is endemic to Mastodon.

Honestly, the attitude within occultism is maddening to me. There’s an acknowledgment that Jung, Crowley, Blavatsky, etc. are all horrible people. You don’t have to convince them that they are awful and racists. We all know. However, most occultists can’t be bothered to come up with anything better, so their response is to use broken systems that do not work and tell people to separate the art from the artists and to normalize the evil, immoral behavior of occult authors because, well, they like the status quo.
There’s always been this assumption with sigils and seals in occultism that they are allegories; astrology should be treated as a pattern that isn’t necessarily literal. If magic shifts probabilities, then that means that magic creates topological defects and breaks symmetries, which means that it has an empirical connection to crystallization. And when we are looking at ontological and mathematical models that strongly model crystallization and symmetry, we find tiling and tessellation. I’m experimenting with tessellation, symmetry, magic, and psychic abilities. Honestly, I am through with the culture and aesthetics of occultism, so I am not using anything that resembles occult sigils or even calling mnemonic symbols or any kind of symbol a sigil anymore. Occultism, as a whole, gives me the ick. Occult systems make me feel so dirty that I feel like I need a bath.
Liminal space is a buzzword that you hear a lot. A liminal space is something like a hallway or the threshold of a door. We can also think of liminal spaces as portals and topological defects, which is an accurate analogy for the symmetry-breaking that magic causes in physical systems. I am thinking of symbols that are more accurate of a topological defect, such as a phase transition. Because of meta-stability, liquid crystals are sensitive to psychic influence and exhibit topological defects via phase transition, so models and symbols based on liquid crystals are realistic for phase transitions that liminal spaces imply.
A physical example of a topological defect is liquid crystals. I like playing around with crystallization and psychic and magical acts because it provides an empirical case. Probabilities are not abstract. Whenever you influence probabilities, you are manipulating where something is going and how fast it is moving, or you are defining where it is. If you are dealing with a system, you are coordinating how fast things are, where they are going, and where they are at for multiple parts of that system. You are shifting statistical mechanical properties of a solution. The shape and structure of a crystal are tied to the probability of that crystal structure emerging, so shifting probabilities shifts the shape of the crystal that we expect to get, which we can experimentally test and measure. Boltzmann distribution, a fundamental concept in statistical mechanics, describes the probability of a molecule occupying a certain energy state. In the context of a crystal lattice, different molecular arrangements correspond to different energy states and when you shift probabilities, you shift where that favorable energy state is likely to be.
An exercise that I did a long, long time ago is that I constructed a class, to act as an archetype, and properties of that class were a data structure imported from an actual social network from Twitter that matched the parameters of the properties of that class. That was before Twitter became X. I would not dare use anything from that domain of the noetic sphere now. I used Gephi for this. I used the Force Atlas 2 layout in Gephi to simulate attraction and repulsion forces via a Barnes–Hut algorithm. The algorithm uses an adaptive cooling strategy similar to annealing. This gave me a network that was also a crystal. I then dissolved a solute into a solution and grew a crystal where my intent was to link to the psychic form of that pattern, project the simulated crystal onto the growing crystal, and measure the structure of the crystal. That exercise created a magical, symbolic construct that was not only realistic but also empirically valid. I am thinking about using tessellation, tiling, and symmetry to denote magical systems instead of employing anything that resembles occult symbols.

We really need to stop calling obvious schizophrenia, manic delusions, and psychosis ‘unverified personal gnosis.’ A person whom I knew 15 years ago has persistent beliefs, regardless of facts, that they knew me in a past life and we made some pact to alter the future to save the world from Nazis. It’s insane, but everyone in the occult Discord is nodding their heads and validating it.
A delusion is a persistent belief regardless of facts. This person has dreams and hallucinations that they believe are gods, spirits, and telepathy. In these hallucinations and delusions, the spirits tell them who random strangers were in a past life. A lot of these delusions are obviously paranoid and inevitably roll into a conspiracy theory about Nazis. This is very terrifying. This means, based on a random occurrence with a person, they will create a parasocial narrative that manifests as them knowing this person.
Most schizophrenia delusions emerge from noise and thus have no actual information. You can uncover that it is a delusion by asking the person for details. For example, if they make a claim about remembering a past life in Egypt, you can do the equivalent of asking them who the President of the United States is now. I did that with this person. They were claiming to have known me and other people in a past life in Egypt 3000 years ago, so I looked up what was going on around that time. I asked them who the high priest was, who the pharaoh was, and what they remember happening around that time. All of it was wrong.
That caused most of that Discord to jump all over me and imply that it was fine because it was their personal gnosis. To be clear, this person is creating parasocial relationships and narratives based on delusional narratives that they are applying to random people they meet.
Phrasing things as they happened in a different reality or a past life is a way to avoid the falsification of and is a way to rationalize the delusion. Claiming that you knew a person in a past life is a way to justify the parasocial relationship. It is not unverified personal gnosis. It’s mental illness. There is nothing magical about mental illness. If I had a nickel for every time a schizophrenic occultist spun up a delusional narrative to justify an adversarial parasocial relationship with me, I’d be rich. This is a major problem.

Here’s your reminder that the inability to tolerate dissent and the emphasis on conforming to cultural norms, where you are punished with excommunication (banning, de-federation), shaming, or bullying, is a sign that it is a cult. Regardless of whether you are on the left or the right, if the platform, instance, or community you are part of is intolerant of dissent, does not welcome an adversarial paradigm that involves the review and criticism of their views, and throws you out for dissenting with people in positions of authority, it is a cult.
Of course, that means that most of you people on Mastodon have joined instances and cults. How can you tell if you are in a cult? The first clue is the inability to dissent and the expectation you conform. Unfortunately, this cult-like behavior is hitting occult niches hard. I am seeing the old skeptical and rigorous paradigm that occultists operated in the late ’90s and early 2000s morph into authoritarianism and a cult-like fanaticism where people must enable the delusional beliefs of the people who run the communities, which, of course, spreads mental illness among other people. The people who used to be skeptical are getting further and further into esoteric, religious cults. Watching how people are losing their minds about threads on Mastodon is a reminder of how social media has become networks of cults.
Can you disagree with your instance admin without retaliation? If not, you did not just join an instance. You joined a cult. Do not join cults. If you are being pressured to conform to something you disagree with, leave.”

I’ve been keeping tabs on the workings DKMU is doing. It seems like a lot of them are performing rituals for their godform, Trigag.
I am real; however, a person’s perception of me, the model of me they have created in their heads, and the symbolic representations of me they have created are extensions and an instance of me in their minds. The image of me is separate from me as a real person independent of their minds. I view invocations and evocations in the same way. Whether these entities have their own independent identity or not, I do not think magicians are working with. If a person were to have a dream with psychoanalytical significance and I was a character in that dream, it is not actually me. It is their mind using itself to represent me to represent something. It’s a symbolic masquerade.
I honestly don’t even think members of DKMU are working directly with their godforms. How can you tell when you are connected to a system? You can tell you are connected to a system when there is a potential for influence. People connected to a psychic network can empirically test if they are connected through the same type of experiments to test for telepathy. Say there is an egregore or godform that teaches and knows something you do not and cannot do. Say it can write music. An empirical test would be if, after the invocation, you suddenly tacitly and intuitively know how to do something.
Occam’s Razor says that the simplest explanation is that their mind is instantiating their own internal version of these entities, which is their mind using itself to represent a state of affairs. The evocation is actually an invocation where they are not working with a manifestation of a psychic network, i.e., an egregore. They are having a conversation with themselves masquerading as that egregore or godform. I don’t even think the members of DKMU are interacting with their system of egregores.
Their rituals seem to be a perverse parody of ceremonial magic. I think all of it is contrived anyway, so I am not complaining about the lack of orthodoxy. The lack of originality that makes this medocire. The sigils and the seals look and feel like what you see with ceremonial magic, though; it is completely contrived. The form is ripped off, and it is completely lacking in originality.

I am so tired of this shit… Look, the world is on fire, and things are just going to get worse from here. I am tired of occultists dealing with this by creating the same type of grandiose narrative where they are part of some mystical order tasked with using magical powers to stop a dark conspiracy. Apparently, every occultist on social media is Batman, The Scarlet Witch, and John Constantine.
Yes, fascism and authoritarianism are very real threats, and there are fascist esoteric orders out there. However, they are not setting up a telepathic network or using dark, eldritch reality-warping powers. They are using regular old, mundane, typical political corruption – the arcane magic of Machiavellianism. You fight that with the illumination of science and reason. Not more superstition and propaganda.
I’m not saying that we are helpless in the face of fascism, but forming parasocial relationships with random people online and LARPing into the astral world on some weird campaign or doing magical rituals alone in your bedroom won’t help anything. It is a coping mechanism. If you want to help people because it is the right thing to do and you just don’t want to feel helpless, find ways of being of service in your community. Honestly, I think we are past discourse. I think some real physical violence towards fascists is in order and not arguments online. LARPing as a witch casting curses won’t cut it. It is merely a way to avoid feeling helpless and managing existential dread, and it helps no one. I mean showing up with metal bats. There is a difference between altruism and coping.
Every magician on social media apparently has gods on speed dial; though, they are just as subject to the bullshit of everyday life as the mundane person is. Every magician on the Internet apparently has reality-warping powers on the Internet, though we all live in one of the worst-shared realities possible. I am over it.

The odd thing about DKMU’s initiatory wheel of entities, egregores, is that they understand it is contrived. The egregores are extensions of people’s minds. They are archetypes from the collective human consciousness. The linkingsigil just maps people’s minds to a place. They are adoring and worshipping themselves. It’s a bizarre form solipsism where they forget they are their own gods.

The thing about practical applications of magic and psychic phenomena is that they’re falsifiable. The existence of spirits isn’t. The existence of psychic phenomena makes it so that the belief in spirits can create effects attributed to spirits.
I think that many people involved with skeptical paradigms of psi, magic, and the paranormal have become obsessed with gods and spirits because they can’t disprove them. However, you can disprove if your magic to shift the odds worked and was due to chance or not, whether the object moved, whether you’re still sick, etc.
I think most people would face reality and tweak their beliefs accordingly, but they do not. I think these people are so obsessed with this stuff that they moved the goalposts from what could be scientifically studied and disproven to what can’t, which means it has no factual support, to avoid a mental and existential crisis. Essentially, they’re couching their beliefs in things you cannot disprove to avoid reality because it causes them to spin into a crisis.
I think what causes all of these once skeptical magicians to converge on animistic paradigms and idolatry is the realization that they have no real paranormal influence on events. They’ve turned to creating idols and running on pure delusion and faith to avoid facing reality. And there’s an evangelical slant to it. They then wish to communicate about these allegedly autonomous or intelligent entities, so they end up trying to recruit people into cults that center around idolatry.
Over the years, I’ve seen that wave of spiritual desperation completely destroy occult and paranormal spaces devoted to skepticism and rigor. Scientific paradigms are inherently adversarial and skeptical. You support your hypotheses and theories by you and your peers trying to disprove them.
It’s horrifying watching them get sicker and sicker. I think what’s driving this is the realization that what they wanted and what they spent their whole lives chasing isn’t real.
The main problem I have with these people is that they constantly crave external validation, and they only get that validation if others share the same beliefs and culture. So, they’re constantly trying to recruit or antagonize you in every interaction. They have the tendency of trying to change whatever space they’re in if it’s intolerable to them, and if people refuse to conform to their beliefs, they project and call that person insufferable.
For example, there are atheists who believe in materialism and don’t believe in the paranormal in a space. Instead of speaking to people who share their beliefs and leaving the atheists alone, they will obsessively try to coerce or persuade the atheists. When that does not work, they default to harassment and antagonism. I think what’s under that is the loss of control. By believing in the paranormal stuff that they did and seeing it debunked, they are forced to admit they don’t have control, so they spin narratives that align with the chosen trope. It’s sad.

A lot of you have probably heard of Nicholas Chapel because he wrote that excellent article debunking the origins of the Kybalion, "The Kybalion's New Clothes." He got a lot of attention for that piece, but it turns out that Mr. Chapel is also a brilliant ceremonial magician and IT security person.
I had the pleasure of interviewing him for my #podcast back in 2021, and it's an episode that anybody can enjoy.

One of the main reasons that #Incense is used in #ritual is that most of the inhabitants Spirit World HATE the smell of Humans.
Also, using the right #fragrance makes the Spirit more willing to cooperate with you.
