Purpose For The Hga Options

So as I was theorizing on this very subject after reading The Book of the Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage and doing a bunch more research on this notion, it left me to wonder if contacting your Holy Guardian Angel (HGA) was the main priority or top goal to achieve through one's spiritual journey and if not, then why not? Maybe it's a notion interpreted differently by others or perhaps unbelieved entirely, although if one is to entertain the ideas of what occurs after contact with the HGA, a new life so to speak, would be introduced for the individual as well as sharper and a more accurate ideology of their life.

I can't imagine it would be an easy task to gain 'the knowledge and conversation of the HGA' but had someone successfully accomplished it, wouldn't that person be quite different and significantly more competent in certain areas? Not to mention more in control of their own lives, actions and morals?

What are you perspectives on the matter? Have any of you ever undertaken the task to contact your HGA, if so what happened? Did you succeed?

Any input whatsoever considering the idea of this topic would be beneficial to hear! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mf_popcorn.gif)

Sorry Kath, maybe we should terminate this discussion. anyway I've enjoyed it, and I thank you, but If you can't handle latin quotes how could you handle greek. My I reminde you that Hecate was the founder of the witches? As well as Orpheus?

that's a convoluted and interesting set of sentiments there.

I think I can handle latin quotes hon, I was asking what you meant by a statement which read like "what you call water is in fact 'aqua'! ". I get the impression that you were trying to redefine 'the great work', and inform me of something, but what does translating it into latin do in terms of redefining it? It still means the same thing, it's just in latin.

btw, there is no letter 'c' in greek, it's 'Hekate' (or Ἑκάτη in greek script, though it looks a bit different in the original archaic greek script, but there's no font for that...)

anyway, I'm afraid I am a poor choice for the sort of dialog you have in mind. Seriously, it won't go like you intend. Honestly though it's not the best tact for what you're trying to accomplish anyway, even if you found someone a bit easier to share the stage with.

The best way to become a respected student of the occult would probably be to immerse oneself in study & practice, building up experience & education in the occult side by side, over an extended period of time, with as much creativity and diversity as possible in your learning. If you love the material, it's not really a chore, it's more like an enjoyable hobby, or in my case more of a driven obsession. The other side to being someone other occultists look up to, is to avoid condescension, and show good humility and kindness to everyone else, a good number of people will admire you for this. Myself I have the obsessive desire to progress in the occult, but I don't really have any desire at all to be admired for it, so I tend to be very frank instead of being supportive or showing humility. But if you want admiration, trust me, that's the way to go about it.
