Sorcery, merged with older thread Options

“Sorcery has no bounds or limits, except those that are put in place by the practitioner. It is the Study of Raw Power and often of Dark Energies. It stems from an Inherent need to delve into the deepest and darkest parts of One’s Self and although it may be dangerous and painful to Realise your Primal fears and desires it is well worth the effort”.

I was somewhat disappointed but not surprised to see so little interest in this category. I know that information is hard to find but so is anything that is worth the effort.

Although this is not the Path for everybody I hope that at least some of you are interested.

I am therefore inserting a basic description.

EDIT - text reduced to normal size. Mediocracy 01/04/2005

Sorcery is the need to study the deepest and darkest parts of ones self. Through understanding their primal desires, obscure passions, and emotionality the practitioner than draws on his or her own Raw Power. Most Sorcerers adopt an aggressive stance in their magical works. They tend to ignore whether or not they use their power for “good” or “evil, and often dismiss such concepts from their lives altogether.

Sorcery cares not what it changes.... it simply changes

Central to sorcery are Balance and Polarity within ones self, this can then be transferred to the world around us. The sorcerer is an expert at bending things to their own will. The most common way of achieving this is by using Twilight – this is a realm of the mind which is characterized by its extreme distortive properties, roiling energies, and occurrences bizarre enough to shock even the calmest, most accepting individuals. The practitioner can make changes in this shadow world that will then manifest themselves in the everyday world.

The unique art known as Sorcery is one which knows no bounds and has no limits, except those which are allowed by the user.

Another aspect of Sorcery is Glamour. This grants its wielder immense powers of persuasion. Ultimately it changes the way People Perceive the Person that is using it. It can Instill fear and create harmony. Oh and if you wish to temporarily change your appearance it can be useful to.

Hope this was some Help

Sorccery has no form, as caos magick. Sorccerers manipulate the world with inner strenght- call it as you wish. There can be no real definition as the world we inhabit has its own rules , other domains have there own, so as magic touches all domains and all energyes that travel between paterns of reality and beyond dont have rules beacose they dismis each other and yet create new rules, but all rules are there to be broken or serve as temporary guideline. As sorccery.Nothing is impossible, everything you know you can - YOU CAN! Petty rules of good, evil, karma and so on do not exist if you dont want them to exist.We are travelers and visionars, we want more of the world we see, we explore the deps of our minds as the depts of all holes of all realities.Sorccery does not require a fire to lit a candle, only your inner power.

Certainly, this is all true. However, I daresay that you may find, in the fullness of your education in life wether practically or magickally, that there are indeed universal laws upon which your universe will inevitably hinge. They may be somewhat personal, but I can almost certainly garuntee that if you were to compare those 'personal' laws with the wisdom of every tradition, personal or otherwise, found in human consciousness, you will see blaringly obvious paralells.

It is the mistake of many a novice to dismiss the objective universe outright, assuming that there is only a subjective one. In fact, the two exist interlaced and overlapped. There is a real, solid, immutable objective world. Many assume that each physical law of the objective universe can be bent and broken with sufficient will. In fact, no such thing ever happens - given the law of polarity, every law in the universe has a corresponding counterpart. You may imagine the ball at the center of a tug-o-war, moving up and down as either side exerts greater strength than the other.

the manifestations of these laws thus become a kind of 'sliding scale'. Applying your will into the world, you take advantage of these opposed laws - percieved as paradoxes by the linearly minded - whether you acknowledge it or not.

Acknowledging the simultaneously objective and subjective universe, one -often- finds that the conscious will and the unconcious intellect will work in greater synergy to bring about change in a much more effective fashion. The soul within you already understands these laws, as it is composed by them.

You may say it takes only your will to light a candle - but how is the lighting itself, physically, accomplished? it will occur via the physical laws governing combustion, as well as the astral laws concerning the condensation of spiritual energy (astral energy) and the basic energetic principle of the Will. Differences in traditions do not dictate differences in Sacred Law.
