I agree that using the rose cross with out inherent knowledge on it isn’t best compared to using a system original and sacred to myself. I actually think the typewriter is a neat idea.
I don’t think you’re a noob, it just irritates me because people throw out quotes willy nilly and I’m use to teenage know-it-alls throwing out Nietzsche and Crowley quotes cause its cool and “sophisticated” sounding, its just silly to me.
Crowley on account of his personal life, his knowledge and competence in the occult ought to be obvious. Nowhere in his enormous body of work does he ever suggest that group belief lends validity to sigils, or that disbelief would rob them of their power. Carl Jung was not a magician.
Well going by the quote you threw up I should “doubt” it all including Crowley‘s enormous body of work. You still lack understanding though. Also Crowley isn’t the only magician out there.
“Carl Jung was not a magician.”
A lot of people combine psychology and philosophy with their occult practice (for example, the idea that spirits are a product of one‘s ego). People are reinventing and experimenting with occult practices and beliefs instead of sitting back and excepting Crowley’s work as the ultimate truth. Remember to doubt.
“Azareth, I have seen many people take your "free for all" approach and have found them (more often than not) mistaking lack of discipline for lack of definition. You say you've had success. Great! Can you tell us some more about your methods, the aims, and the results? Your previous response on this matter left much to be desired, lacking all the details that were requested.”
Not to be a kiss a$$ but Azareth, based on his post has displayed a decent amount of knowledge on the occult. I didn’t get the impression “free for all”, he just has an opened mind vs. stubborn skeptical contempt.
