Occultism, magic, is heretical and sinful.

Occult is boo boo butt cause liiiikeeee you know religion is stupid and yet you kinda dont believe in god but then you kinda do and then you try to be special thinking you have some truth or youre tryna be edgy like come on

You're not wrong at all, but reading about it (esp. the more theosophical strains) is fun. Knowing how it works is interesting too.

Manly P. Hall is unexpectedly comfy, great for bedtime reading.

Occultism is ultimately an attempt to deceive and subvert God's power.

Mysticism is an exploration and uncovering of what is already holy and true with due reverence.

Mysticism provides a layer of intellectual depth in religion without blaspheming the Almighty and holy faith.

I don't think that reading heresy is fun and theosophy is a half-baked cult in my view.

in modern occultism it is hard to sort through all the grifting, scams, subversion, and silliness. maybe Rudolf Steiner and Julius Evola.
the least cringe would be the historical sources - the Neoplatonists, the Gnostics, the Hermetica, Agrippa, Paracelsus, Jacob Boehme, Emanuel Swedenborg.

The Islamic mystical tradition has incredible intellectual depth and involves very practical and direct practices such as Zikir (meditative prayer), Fikr (silent meditation), Muraqaba (mystic observation), the Fakir (ascetic tradition), and more ideas and practices than I can list here.

The Sufis largely preserve the mystical tradition and this intellectual and spiritual cultivation of a personal relationship with God was instrumental to the successful and peaceful propagation of Islam to Southeast Asia.

The Islamic mystical tradition is not vague in nature and is centered aroud prayer, fasting, meditation, asceticism, and study with reverence for God and His holy authority. The centers of such practices are zawiyas, Islamic monasteries inhabited by orders of ascetics. Here is one such lodge in Bosnia and Herzegovina, situated by flowing water much like Christian and Buddhist monasteries.

For intellectuals, the Islamic mystical tradition provides rich intellectual depth. Islam itself is a very intellectual religion that requires memorization of Surahs (Koran chapters) to even pray correctly. Then there are countless books of Sunnah and Hadith, Tafsir (commentary), books and journals of Islamic jurisprudence, Islamic history and mystical texts, and so on and so forth.

All of occultism is a grift and a scam, spiritually speaking. The very idea of occultism is to rebel against God and innovate heresy. It is not worth a minute of time.

Those who revere God will not find themselves unsatisfied with His prophets and what submits to His will. Mysticism reveres God, occultism disrespects God.

Robert Graves isn't Cringe. He is, however, pro-Welsh.

>>24571884
What are you implying with that?

>>24571952
He's insane but in other ways. He said only Celts can be poets, for some schizophrenic reason.

So when does pederasty and zoophilia come in?

>>24571830
Everything you've written here is extraordinarily gay.

>>24571830
Is there a mystical tradition that involves participating in life and its aspects, be they good or evil, joy or suffering, to the fullest?

>>24571707 (OP)
No.
