This question came about today because some of the members here have spoken about how morals are relative. Some hold deeply to their religion, some aren't very religious but are very moral, some like the dark side of everything and seek it out, and some (like myself) tend to be on the amoral side. But what really inspired me to make this poll was that some hold the view that certain morals are strict while others are relative. For example, one person said that murder, lust, and greed are all fixed wrong behavior in addition to any personal views on sin, and if you perform the said sinful actions, that it can screw with your magick and color your karma.

Lust was listed as a "fixed" sin, but personally, I don't find anything wrong with it. And I'm not a perv or sleezy guy at all or anything like that, rather, I truly believe that there is nothing wrong with carnal lust and acting on it. I can droningly say with my mouth "lust is wrong," but I don't truly feel this. I wonder what other sins people here feel is or is not "wrong" in the stereotypical sense.

I have no idea where this came from, but a hoary old magus once told me that the concept of sin is derived, originally from the ancient Egyptians, and was applied to their priest-hood. In that context it meant (roughly): Being in a state unsuitable or inappropriate for the performance of one's ritual duties.

I recall that at the time he was giving a lecture for which I was in the audience. His example was, "Let's say you are a magician...or would like to think that you are. If, at the time appointed for the performance of your ritual, you are hungover and stinking of alcohol and sex because you spent all the previous night getting wasted and shagging some bit you picked up in a bar, then you are in a state of SIN!! You are not in a fit state to exercise the concentration necessary for the performance of a magical working!!"

He raised his voice and stared at me whilst he said it, which was most uncomfortable. It was like he was reading my mind...

Anyway, that is food for thought I think.

(the definition, not my debauchery!)
