| practical occultism: Studies in Occultism: A Series of Reprints from the Writings of Helena Petrovna Blavatsky Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, 2005-01-01 As some of the letters in the Correspondence of this month show, there are many people who are looking for practical instruction in Occultism. It becomes necessary, therefore, to state once for all:— (a) The essential difference between theoretical and practical Occultism; or what is generally known as Theosophy on the one hand, and Occult science on the other, and:— (b) The nature of the difficulties involved in the study of the latter. It is easy to become a Theosophist. Any person of average intellectual capacities, and a leaning toward the metaphysical; of pure, unselfish life, who finds more joy in helping his neighbor than in receiving help himself; one who is ever ready to sacrifice his ownpleasures for the sake of other people; and who loves Truth, Goodness, and Wisdom for their own sake, not for the benefit they may confer—is a Theosophist. But it is quite another matter to put oneself upon the path which leads to the knowledge of what is good to do, as to the right discrimination of good from evil; a path which also leads a man to that power through which he can do the good he desires, often without even apparently lifting a finger. Moreover, there is one important fact with which the student should be made acquainted. Namely, the enormous, almost limitless responsibility assumed by the teacher for the sake of the pupil. From the Gurus of the East who teach openly or secretly, down to the few Kabalists in Western lands who undertake to teach the rudiments of the Sacred Science to their disciples—those western Hierophants being often themselves ignorant of the danger they incur—one and all of these Teachers are subject to the same inviolable law. From the moment they begin really to teach, from the instant they confer any power—whether psychic, mental, or physical—on their pupils, they take upon themselves all the sins of that pupil, in connexion with the Occult Sciences, whether of omission or commission, until the moment when initiation makes the pupil a Master and responsible in his turn. There is a weird and mystic religious law, greatly reverenced and acted upon in the Greek, half-forgotten in the Roman Catholic, and absolutely extinct in the Protestant Church. It dates from the earliest days of Christianity and has its basis in the law just stated, of which it was a symbol and an expression. This is the dogma of the absolute sacredness of the relation between the god-parents who stand sponsors for a child. These tacitly take upon themselves all the sins of the newly baptized child—(anointed, as at the initiation, a mystery truly!)—until the day when the child becomes a responsible unit, knowing good and evil. Thus it is clear why the Teachers are so reticent, and why Chelas are required to serve a seven years probation to prove their fitness, and develop the qualities necessary to the security of both Master and pupil. Occultism is not magic. It is comparatively easy to learn the trick of spells and the methods of using the subtler, but still material, forces of physical nature; the powers of the animal soul in man are soon awakened; the forces which his love, his hate, his passion, can call into operation, are readily developed. But this is Black Magic—Sorcery. For it is the motive, and the motive alone, which makes any exercise of power become black, malignant, or white, beneficent Magic. It is impossible to employ spiritual forces if there is the slightest tinge of selfishness remaining in the operator. For, unless the intention is entirely unalloyed, the spiritual will transform itself into the psychic, act on the astral plane, and dire results may be produced by it. The powers and forces of animal nature can equally be used by the selfish and revengeful, as by the unselfish and the all-forgiving; the powers and forces of spirit lend themselves only to the perfectly pure in heart—and this is Divine Magic. |

| practical occultism: Introduction to Magic Julius Evola, The UR Group, 2018-07-13 The rites, practices, and texts collected by the mysterious UR group for the use of aspiring mages. • Rare Hermetic texts published in English for the first time. • Includes instructions for developing psychic and magical powers. In 1927 Julius Evola and other leading Italian intellectuals formed the mysterious UR group. Their goal: to bring their individual egos into a state of superhuman power and awareness in which they could act magically on the world. Their methods: the practice of ancient Tantric and Buddhist rituals and the study of rare Hermetic texts. So successful were they that rumors spread throughout Italy of the group's power, and Mussolini himself became quite fearful of them. Now for the first time in English Introduction to Magic collects the rites, practices, and knowledge of the UR group for the use of aspiring mages. Included in Introduction to Magic are instructions for creating an etheric double, speaking words of power, using fragrances, interacting with entities, and creating a magical chain. Among the arcane texts translated are the Tibetan teachings of the Thunderbolt Diamond Path, the Mithraic mystery cult's Grand Papyrus of Paris, and the Greco-Egyptian magical text De Mysteriis. Anyone who has exhausted the possibilities of the mundane world and is ready to take the steps necessary to purify the soul in the light of knowledge and the fire of dedication will find a number of expert mentors here. |

| practical occultism: Theoretical and Practical Occultism Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, 2018-02-21 While the study of theoretical Occultism is harmless, and may do good, practical Occultism, being the “Science of Good and Evil,” is fraught with perils and pitfalls. The student of Occult Arts, who is not intellectually or ethically fit, will be unable to discern the Right from the Left Path. He will bring on himself and his family unexpected woes and sorrows, never suspecting whence they come. Only Absolute Unity, physical and metaphysical, can provide safe passage to the other shore. Whoever indulges, after having pledged himself to Occultism, in the gratification of a worldly love or lust, must feel an almost immediate result: that of being irresistibly dragged from the impersonal divine state down to the lower plane of matter. |
| practical occultism: Practical Occultism William Q. Judge, 1980 Selected from Judge's Letterbooks and private files, these letters combine directness and strength with sympathetic understanding. A guide to the application of esoteric truths to daily living, they are the fruit of knowledge and long experience in the philosophy and practice of altruism. The correspondence highlights the period from 1882 to 1891, when the Theosophical Society was undergoing rapid growth, particularly in the West. This book is also a valuable source for those interested in the early history and development of the TS. |
| practical occultism: Studies in Occultism H. P. Blavatsky, 2023-08-22 In Studies in Occultism, H. P. Blavatsky presents a profound exploration of esoteric knowledge and spiritual practices, blending her characteristic incisive prose with rich philosophical insights. The work delves into the intricacies of mystical traditions, the nature of existence, and the evolution of human consciousness, all within the framework of her Theosophical principles. Written during a time when scientific rationalism began to challenge mystical worldview, Blavatsky'Äôs use of allegory and historical context imbues the text with a timeless quality that invites readers to reflect on the deeper dimensions of reality. H. P. Blavatsky, a pivotal figure in the late 19th-century spiritual renaissance, co-founded the Theosophical Society and was a prominent advocate for Eastern philosophies in the West. Her travels through India and experiences with various mystical traditions provided her with a diverse spectrum of knowledge that informed her writings. Studies in Occultism serves as both a culmination of her insights and a clarion call for a renewed understanding of the hidden layers of life. This book is highly recommended for those seeking to unravel the complexities of spiritual teachings and explore the intersection of science and mysticism. Blavatsky'Äôs work resonates with contemporary quests for meaning, making it an essential read for anyone interested in the hidden forces that shape our world. |
| practical occultism: Six Ways Aidan Wachter, 2018-04-23 Six Ways is a handbook of magic and sorcery, rooted in witchcraft, folk magic, chaos magic, and animist spirit work. Subjects covered include sigils, servitors, meditation, trance, spiritual cleansing, warding, dream sorcery, candle magic, talismanic magic, and tending to the spirit ecologies we live with and in. Six Ways looks at how and why to build relationships in all of the worlds, manifest and unmanifest (what Wachter calls the Field) that allow us to perform effective magic. Effective magic is magic that changes us at the mind, soul, and spirit levels while improving our real-world circumstances. The focus is on finding pathways to the Otherworlds and building symbiotic relationships with the Others (the spirits and allies) that dwell there. Sorcery then becomes the practice of working within those relationships to effect the changes we seek in our lives. |
| practical occultism: Practical Occultism Walter Winston Kenilworth, 2013-11 An excerpt from the second chapter: Practical Occultism is a method of realizing the deeper psychological and spiritual life potentially existent within every creature, and which bears a practical significance to the daily experience of ordinary life. Higher truth, vision and life are not only for the great and eventful occasion; they should as well serve in every moment, even the most commonplace; for it is only as the psychological life becomes the normal every-day life that the path can be trodden and the goal finally reached. Above all, to understand such a practical view of occultism we must get away from the obsolete, perverted conception of occultism which obtained in those earlier days when interpretation of the occult had its first apostolate in the Blavatsky coterie. With the coming of Oriental philosophers and psychologists to this country, and with the efforts of scientific investigators such as Muller, Carus, Rhys-Davids, Oldenburg and others, a higher understanding of the truly occult was given expression. The sham side, the element of the ominous and of the mystery-mongering, was divested of its meaning and influence and for it was substituted that religio-psychological definition which is to-day accepted by leading thinkers. Occultism is the modern revelation and symbolism of an ancient and well-guarded system of psychological philosophy involving a knowledge of psychology in comparison with which our modern psychology is relatively less fundamental. Occultism finds its greatest significance in the attainment of self-knowledge, that attainment which was suggested by the Greek of Pre-Socratic times. This self-knowledge is not merely a metaphysical conception of the nature of man. It has nothing to do with philosophy, for it is purely psychological. It is a psychical discovery of the essence and action of the mind and the control and direction of the will in relation to it. The mind is usually considered either as an intangible abstract something having a nominal existence while its real existence is confused with the physical brain. There are even those who think themselves enlightened who persist in such a view. They speak of all thought as inseparably dependent upon the action of the molecules of the brain and the condition of the nerve centers. To them thought is but a secretion of the brain. This opinion is of little importance apart from a philosophical sense, but, in the light of any system of metaphysical speculation, it becomes a dividing line between the materialistic and spiritual thought. The average person accustomed to viewing the external perceptible universe as the solely existent accords to it a greater reality than to his personal self. The visible and the tangible are alone real to him. The personal self is regarded as a shadowy reflection of the actual, external world. Naturally, his relation in conduct to such a theory is expressive of the material attitude taken. It is necessary to discuss the philosophical side of occultism because this is of singular importance and because it is by it alone that occultism can be understood and put into practice. So long as man believes himself to be identified with the outer world, so long as he believes he is under its provision and control, so long as he disbelieves in the superior reality of himself, so long will he remain ignorant of the occult and unaware of the great blessings and power which such knowledge imparts. |

| practical occultism: The Fourth Book of Occult Philosophy Donald Tyson, 2009 The Fourth Book of Occult Philosophy, by Henry Cornelius Agrippa and unnamed others, is considered one of the cornerstones of Western magic, and the grimoires it contains are among the most important that exist in the Western tradition. For more than three hundred years, this mysterious tome has been regarded as difficult or even impossible to understand--until now. Occult scholar Donald Tyson presents a fully annotated, corrected, and modernized edition of Stephen Skinner's 1978 facsimile edition of the original work, which was six tracts published as one volume in 1655. For the first time, these classic works of Western magic have been rendered fully accessible to the novice practitioner, as well as occult scholars and skilled magicians. Tyson presents clear instruction and practical insight on a variety of magic techniques, providing contemporary magicians with a working grimoire of the arcane.

| practical occultism: Occult Features of Anarchism Erica Lagalisse, 2019-02-01 In the nineteenth century anarchists were accused of conspiracy by governments afraid of revolution, but in the current century various “conspiracy theories” suggest that anarchists are controlled by government itself. The Illuminati were a network of intellectuals who argued for self-government and against private property, yet the public is now often told that they were (and are) the very group that controls governments and defends private property around the world. Intervening in such misinformation, Lagalisse works with primary and secondary sources in multiple languages to set straight the history of the Left and illustrate the actual relationship between revolutionism, pantheistic occult philosophy, and the clandestine fraternity. Exploring hidden correspondences between anarchism, Renaissance magic, and New Age movements, Lagalisse also advances critical scholarship regarding leftist attachments to secular politics. Inspired by anthropological fieldwork within today’s anarchist movements, her essay challenges anarchist atheism insofar as it poses practical challenges for coalition politics in today’s world. Studying anarchism as a historical object, Occult Features of Anarchism also shows how the development of leftist theory and practice within clandestine masculine public spheres continues to inform contemporary anarchist understandings of the “political,” in which men’s oppression by the state becomes the prototype for power in general. Readers behold how gender and religion become privatized in radical counterculture, a historical process intimately linked to the privatization of gender and religion by the modern nation-state. |
| practical occultism: What Is Occultism? Dion Fortune, 2001-03-01 Offers the reader an in-depth look at what occultism can be to the rational and well-trained practitioner.

| practical occultism: The Art of Occultism Gabriyell Sarom, 2018-12-27 The Step-by-step practical guide to Occultism and Inner Exploration A colossal fence has been raised separating our current society from the flow of life and magic that permeates the whole of Creation. Humanity is gradually succeeding in its self-destruction, asphyxiating itself through the suppression of what is beyond the mere five physical senses. The art of Occultism has been forgotten. In fact, Occultism has been despised, ridiculed and denigrated into a mere fantasy, make-believe or magical thinking. This book brings this ancient secret tradition back to life using a contemporary yet powerful method. This is a book centered on occult practices. Here the reader will find detailed occult practices that will assist him in exploring the subtle inner nonphysical realms, culminating in the unveiling of the highest mystery of Occultism. The occult practices are divided into primary and secondary phases which include, but are not limited to: Concentration & Control of Awareness The Power of Imagination & Intention Creating an Occult Laboratorium Steady Inner & Outer Gaze Burning the Shadow of Fear Infusing Vital Energy & Chakras Deep Trance States Discovering the Inner Temple Inner Body Travel Divine Infusion Discovery and communion with the Higher Self Beyond the Form of Divinity Interaction with Nonphysical Beings Evocations High Occultism We sincerely hope the reader enjoys this work and that it may serve as the catalyst for the discovery of the Occult. |
