#hermeticism — Public Fediverse posts

Yeryüzünde altından daha nadir metaller olsa da neden hiçbirisi insana onun kadar çekici gelmez? Bunun cevabı, altının ve gümüşün tarihte kutsal bir anlam taşıması olabilir.
İnsan her zaman altının peşinden koştu. Simyacılar, evrenin dört temel unsurdan oluştuğu teorisinden yola çıkarak, baz metallerin altına dönüşebileceğini düşündüler.

Flow

Magic is a question of values that fluctuate in a world of static circulation. As I demand: transform!
Abjection is above all ambiguity.

Hello. I'm @[email protected] in yet another Sisyphean task to find an alternative #Fediverse instance as Calckey is facing lots of Bad Gateways and, as of recently, an annoying influx of spam (which also ends up contributing to the Bad Gateways). Seems like Ruud (Calckey admin) didn't see my report regarding the latter, and this worries me as this means that server could be seen as "unmoderated" and defederated by other instances I interact with. I'm yet to see how federated is this Catodon instance, because other Misskey-like instances I tried in the past (such as Evil Social) had little to no federation with Lemmy instances.

As this is my first post for this account, I'll try to describe the kind of content I'm used to post in the next paragraphs (while also testing how similar this instance is to the Calckey instance I'm used to).

I often post my #digitaldrawings and other kinds of #occult #art centered on my actual beliefs. My #artistic expressions, which mostly stems from actual #gnosis, sometimes manifest as #poetry and/or #Blender #3dmodeling scenarios and/or #memes and/or #code (because I'm also a #dev who codes in several #programming languages, including #javascript, #ruby and #python, and I use #arch #linux, btw). Many of my artistic expressions, particularly my #drawings and my #writings, are NSFW and will be labeled as so. Oh, sometimes I do ancient writing, too, including actual attempts on Sumerian texts (based on actual, available Sumerian Lexicons). And I sometimes do #steganography as well (I'm quite fond of things such as #math #puzzles and hidden messages; and, no, this post has no hidden message, I'm quite in a mental budget here). I'm a detail-oriented person, as you may notice from this post alone.

As for my beliefs, I have a syncretic worship for #Lilith Who, I believe, has the same cosmic principle that from #Ereshkigal, #Kali, #Hecate, #Pombagiras (esp. Dama da Noite and Rosa Caveira), among many other names across belief systems, as my syncretism is based on several belief systems such as #Thelema, #Luciferianism, #Gnosticism, #Hermeticism, #Sumerian, #Egyptian, #Quimbanda and others. I also believe in other entities, not with the same worshiping, but with similar respect for #Lucifer, #Baphomet and #Stolas (I don't agree with the Goetian approach of constrained summoning, for Stolas and other Daemons are cosmic teachers who deserve our due respect).

I've been hyper-fixated on #owls, especially some #owl species such as Athene cunicularia (burrowing owls), _Bubo ascalaphus (Pharaoh Eagle-owl), because owls are one of the main theophanic manifestations of the #goddess. See the taxonomic binomials? Yes, I often do this bizarre intertwining between the religious and the scientific, because I don't believe in siloed knowledge.

I'm #Brazilian and some of my posts will be in #portuguese, sometimes alongside English text, tal como estou fazendo nesse parágrafo.

I'm likely #neurodivergent and #audhd (albeit undiagnosed), hence why my posts (including this one I'm composing) is so prolifically lengthy and mixing concepts/skills so disparate, for my mind is always agitated and restless.

I'm mostly #anarchist and I don't believe humanity is the only intelligent species on this Pale Blue Dot, for there are countless other species such as corvids (esp. New Caledonian crows; I believe crows and ravens as manifestations of Lucifer just like owls are manifestations of Lilith) who are as intelligent (if not more) as us Homo sapiens.

I'm mostly #nihilist and #pessimist with certain inspiration from philosophers such as Philipp Mainländer. I may sound depressive (do I sound this way in this post? It doesn't seem so) because I am depressive since my childhood and, yes, I tried mental health care to no avail (psychiatrists can't understand, for example, how #Demiurge and his archons sucks and how the Goddess is our true cosmic Mother).

That's mostly me. "Mostly" because I'm not really able to fit labels or tribes. I don't quite belong. I really liked the 5000 char limit from this instance.

A border from the title page of a compilation of several books on #alchemy #hermeticism #theurgy #occult subjects from 1678 (actually there was an earlier edition too).

I asked Google Gemini to explain the symbology and it did a credible job, if not perfect: the philosopher’s stone is the search gorr personal godhead, not for gold. See the web page for what it said.

Behold the ancient symbol of Ouroboros — the serpent that devours its own tail.
A sacred emblem across Greek, Egyptian, Hermetic and alchemical traditions.

In its coil lies the secret of the cosmos:
“Ἑν τὸ Πᾶν” – All is One.

Do you practice religion? I don't think that a "yes" or "no" answer would do in my case. So, here goes the longer version.

Here is an article I wrote SIX YEARS AGO about the best books for getting started with #Hermeticism. Do I still agree with it? Maybe not. But there are some great books on the list! #books #bibliophilia #occult https://arnemancy.com/articles/hermeticism/the-best-books-on-hermeticism/

I'm excited to see @polyphanes run his new set of topics for the Weekly Hermeticism channel on Hermetic House of Life. Looks like some good stuff coming up! #hermeticism #hermetic

My new YouTube video is here! It's about the Kybalion and the Hermetic House of Life and how annoying the Kybalion is! It features @polyphanes and lots of shaky photographs. Please enjoy!

If Hermes Trismegistus is really "three times great" then how come I can tell he's two gods in a trenchcoat

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.

I like to make fun of the #Kybalion a lot, so I also like to offer people some good alternatives. It claims to be about Hermetic philosophy, but we all know it isn't. What is Hermetic philosophy? How can you learn about Hermeticism? Try some of these delightful books!

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.

This is so interesting to me. It does indeed seem to be surprisingly relevant. I have seen references to #Hermeticism here and there, but knew nothing about it. No one ever mentions Hermes Trismegistus and I never learned anything about #philosophy or #religion in the #Ptolemaic kingdom. "Cleopatra was Greek" was treated as trivia. These ideas have been almost totally underground and maybe they shouldn't be.

Well, did you know that Moina Mathers, the first female member & High priestess of the #OrderOfTheGoldenDawn, was the sister of Henri Bergson? This a rather illuminating portrait of her by @emilyherring , where she also discusses the links between #occultism #hermeticism and early #feminism .
