The 7 Hermetic (Djehuti/Tehuti) Principles

One of my personal meditation wallpapers 😉

#kybalion #alchemy #hermeticism

I had a sudden enlightenment as why the Principle of Mentalism sits at the absolute top of the Seven Hermetic Principles, everything else cascades down from it because it forms the core foundation. When the book says “The All is Mind; The Universe is Mental,” they aren't speaking in abstract metaphors, the writers mean it quite literally. Even mechanics like karma operate through that framework. That’s why intention and consciousness matter so much when you want to commit to something.

Check out the lecture I gave on the Origins and History of Hermeticism!

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.

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.

Being a Cult Member Invited To Speak at a -Con For Other Cult Members Is Not The Flex You Think It Is

All I am going to say is that being part of a convention that is really a conference for chronically online, insufferable reply-guy cult members is not the flex that you think it is. Neither is missing a psychiatrist appointment to argue with conspiracy theorists on Reddit.

Yes, that actually happened. A person involved in that Discord really did miss a psychiatrist appointment just to argue with strangers on the internet about *checks notes* the Anunnaki. To be fair, they were arguing against the typical high strangeness, but mentally sane people are not missing medical appointments to argue against high strangeness online and then telling everyone about it on Discord, xer (I am using neopronouns because I don’t know their gender).

That’s all I have to say about the state of fuckery in occulture. If you know, you know. Missing a psychiatrist appointment to argue with strangers online is, clinically, a symptom of obsession—but whatever.

Only losers join esoteric cults—oh, excuse me, occult lodges. It’s like feeling smug about being invited to speak at a Scientology convention. No insight. None to be found. I honestly think they believe they are more than just a creepy religious fraternity, like any other creepy religious body in America.

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.

Most Online Chaos Magick Is Naming Mnemonic Variables

No matter how intricate your sigil is, it’s still just a semiotic identifier—a signifier. You could call it x, and it would carry the same ontological weight. Sigils point to concepts, entities, or they act as a signature. At the end of the day, you’ve just created a decorative label. Sigils are glyphs, not alphabets or languages like Theban, Celestial, Enochian, or the Alphabet of Daggers.

Sigils made using Austin Spare’s method aren’t languages—they’re stylized abstractions. You’re not writing a sentence in some hidden tongue; you’re making a visual variable. A graphic tag with no linguistic scaffolding. There’s nothing to “read” in it—no syntax, no grammar, no pronunciation. Just an intentional scribble pointing toward a thought.

Compare that to Theban, Celestial, Enochian, or the Alphabet of Daggers. Those are actual alphabets. Magical languages. They follow consistent letter-for-letter substitutions. They can obscure meaning—because there’s real meaning to obscure. You can encode texts, chants, names. They operate like ciphers, because that’s exactly what they are.

Spare-style sigils don’t encrypt—they erase. When you compress a phrase into a symbol, you’re not hiding language, you’re letting it go. You’re collapsing intention into a single mark that doesn’t depend on literacy, just mental association.

Magical languages at least do something. They obscure. They encode. Run a sentence through Theban or Celestial, and you get something arcane-looking and unreadable—because it is, unless you know the key. That’s the point: symbolic misdirection. Encryption with intent.

Sigils, especially the Spare-style ones, don’t do that. You’re not concealing a message; you’re flattening it into a shape. It’s not code—it’s a label. A name tag. You take a phrase, compress it into a glyph, and suddenly it’s a “magickal symbol.” But it’s really just a symbolic pointer—a variable, like in programming. And just like with variables, the more convoluted the name, the more annoying it is to use. If your sigil looks like a spiky eldritch mandala, congrats: you’ve made a beautiful, unreadable label.

Honestly, watching people crank these out like they’re reinventing the arcane wheel—when they’re just decorating the same psychological placeholder—it’s almost a relief. The more time someone spends designing a stylized faux ceremonial symbol symbol for “money now please,” the less likely they are to be doing anything dangerously effective. A lot of what gets called “chaos magick” online is really just overdesigned variable naming by people who think the aesthetic is the spell.

Sure, sigils, metaphors, and myths all operate symbolically—but they don’t hit the same. A sigil is a symbol boiled down to a label. A shortcut. It points to something. A mythology doesn’t just point—it breathes. It moves through story, layers, archetypes. That’s why mythic metaphors and ritual drama land harder: they’re not just signs, they’re immersive systems of meaning.

A myth doesn’t just say “this is like that.” It binds symbols into patterns. It creates tension, resonance, transformation. Allegory can carry cosmology. Sigils don’t do that. They’re more like programming variables—arbitrary labels you assign meaning to. Useful? Sure. But flat. A box with a name. Writing “dragon” on the lid doesn’t conjure the force of a real dragon narrative.

That’s why stories, dreams, and rituals move people—and sigils usually don’t, unless you’ve already decided they will. Metaphor speaks to the deep mind. It speaks with symbols, not just about them. Sigils? They’re like filing tabs. Metaphors are the stories inside the folders.

So yeah—they’re both symbols. But one is a placeholder. The other is a living structure.

Exactly—whether you sketch a swirling, ornate sigil or just scrawl an x, you’re still tagging the same conceptual box. The content doesn’t change just because the outside is fancier. That’s the point: the sigil isn’t the thing. It’s the pointer. It’s the tag that says, “this is where I stored that intention,” or “this represents that entity.” It doesn’t gain power because it looks more esoteric.

People get caught up in the design and forget the purpose. A sigil doesn’t summon anything by itself—it’s a reference. It’s not the payload. You’re not conjuring a spirit with the shape; you’re doing it with the meaning you’ve assigned. The symbol just helps you focus—like putting a label on a folder.

This is why making the sigil “look magickal” is mostly cosmetic. Dress up the label all you want—it still opens the same box. The real work isn’t in the glyph; it’s in what the glyph means and how your mind interacts with that meaning. So yes, swap the sigil for an x—the box still holds the demon. All you’ve changed is the font.
