I'm a occultism newfag but have some shallow knowledge and am a bit curious.

There’s this 70+ year old businessman that I know, Master Mason, and he’s said some odd shit. Talks about having a "guardian angel" giving him "insights" and warnings into people, more than once mentioned drinking goat blood on top of a hill for some ritual, and had pictures of the Virgin Mary (Inana? Babalon?) around his office. He’s also involved with DeMolay, and when it comes to Freemasonry, he swears only the first 3 degrees really matter. In more than one occasion "jokingly" called me "Neophyte" when he noticed that I had some low-level knowledge about freemasonry and judaism, kabbalah, talmud and stuff like that.
Does this sound like Thelema or some other occult Mason stuff?

Thelema? Not specifically to my knowledge but he's absolutely got a tulpa. He probably wouldn't refer to it by such words. Freemasonry is just a cringe scam. Sounds like an occultist who is blending esoteric stuff with catholic iconography. You could always just ask him.

The Goddess Tonantzin as a Mary.

More like a filter for the real religion, no?

ChatGPT seems to thin it is either O.T.O or Memphis-Misraim rite
>You could always just ask him.
Sadlt I can't anymore, but also he was very secretive about it. When I asked which lodge, he was kinda vague about it

The image was not the one he had in his office, I only used it to illustrate my point.
He's not Mexican btw.
I don't want to end up giving too much information on myself, but interesringly there is a O.T.O lodge in a near-enough distance that has some Mexican god imagery, which is odd and kind of out of place

This is true, too bad the masons lost the actual third rite. No meaningful connection to thelema beyond the masons habit of assimilating other smaller societies which brought in a fair bit of material from the same French gnostic revival that birthed the OTO as it existed before crowley got his hands on it

What's with the goat's blood drinking?
Also he was not actually very christian and the "guardian angel" was just one of the ways he referred to his "entity" or tulpa like the other anon said
