I've never once looked into this stuff myself, but i know what's in popular culture and what we see in all sorts of media. portrayals of complex rituals with drawing symbols on the floor, dotting it with candles, sacrificing a small bovine, chanting, etc.

or "eye of newt, tongue of frog" or whatever. what up with those, those things are nasty.

  • why are LED candles not good enough to dot the sigil on the floor with?
  • can you chant in any language or does it need to be english?
  • why eye of newt, surely purer and better chemicals could be used for... whatever's brewing.
  • why do you need a cauldron instead of a big regular pot?

and so on. got any thoughts, add them.

Check out "The Art and Practice of Astral Projection" by Ophiel or "Magic: An Occult Primer" by David Conway. The latter covers (and corrects) a lot of the misconceptions surrounding "magic." It's almost impossible to read it and not leave with a refreshed pragmatic view towards the subject as a whole. Ophiel's books are strictly practical, and give a strong insight in to the whole "mental" thing I'm talking about. Ophiel was a one-of-a-kind guy who bruteforced most of his knowledge— refusing to join any occult societies to gain his insights, so that he wouldn't be oath-bound to secrecy. He was sabotaged at every turn, because of this. I have both books (and more) in epub format, if you want 'em.

Sorry for the late reply. Everything, that could go wrong, went wrong when trying to find this stuff. Even weird errors like Mega not loading properly, despite always working 100% of the time every other time. Interesting. "An Occult Primer" seems to have absolutely vanished off the internet, except for on Amazon. The only Mega library which I knew had it seems to have been taken down, as well. Thankfully, I'm always making redundant backups of this stuff. ;)
