>>1175The occult doesn't refer to any kind of "cult", all modern religions are cults or refer to cults anyway. This is a fact.
Most original texts referring to magick emphasized Christian values and only focused on speaking with entities of a higher nature, and magick was only to be done for the maturation of one's spirit, rather than for worldly gain. Contrasting this, is the history of miracles in Islam, where only certain sects decried miracle workers.
Of course, everything is what you make of it, and to decry something as "satanic" (christian buzzword) is stupid, as one person will watch BLACKED to gain initiation, another will meditate on oneness with the universe or God.
>>1176It isn't true esoterica, but it can lead to paranormal experiences, which is the primary purpose of this thread.
>>1204This thread had next to nothing to do with the MEGA, it's only there for people who want a cursory glance at esoterica. It's called /pdg/ for god's sakes, I just wanted some discussion of the paranormal, but I see such a topic on the fucking paranormal board is too much to ask for.
I guess moderators would rather entertain garbage conversation and allow any random idiot to derail conversations instead.
I don't hate Christians nor Muslims, but in the context of this thread, they have been the primary people (real or shills pretending to be them) derailing the conversation. It's hard to have a conversation about the paranormal when some mouth breather calls it all satanic.
