"Unveiling the Arcane Tapestry: A Journey Through 'The History of Magic' by Éliphas Lévi"

Éliphas Lévi's "The History of Magic," skillfully translated by Arthur Edward Waite, stands as a profound exploration into the mystic realms of human knowledge. With a comprehensive blend of historical insight, ritualistic precision, and esoteric mysteries, Lévi takes readers on an enchanting odyssey through the labyrinthine corridors of magical practices.

Lévi's work delves into the historical roots of magic, unraveling its multifaceted procedures, rites, and enigmatic mysteries. Waite's translation ensures that the essence and nuances of Lévi's original French text are preserved, allowing readers to grasp the intricate details of magical traditions.

The narrative unfolds like a sacred scroll, unveiling the evolution of magical practices from ancient civilizations to the contemporary era. Lévi's keen observations and scholarly approach provide readers with a deep understanding of the philosophical and symbolic foundations that underpin magical arts.

Central to the book is the exploration of the human connection with the mystical forces that shape our reality. Lévi delves into the psychological and spiritual aspects of magic, emphasizing its transformative potential for individuals seeking a higher understanding of themselves and the universe.

Waite's translation enhances the accessibility of Lévi's complex ideas, making this work a valuable resource for both seasoned practitioners and those new to the realms of magic. The prose, though steeped in profound concepts, is presented in a manner that invites readers to contemplate and assimilate the wisdom imparted.

"The History of Magic" transcends the conventional boundaries of historical texts, emerging as a timeless guide for seekers of knowledge and wisdom. Lévi's vision, masterfully conveyed through Waite's translation, invites readers to embark on a journey of self-discovery and enlightenment, unlocking the secrets that lie within the intricate tapestry of magical history.

I was reminded that Chacón’s Obols exist. And thought about Danny Phantom.

I had a thought that what if Danny got like a tongue piercing, got a custom piece to look like an Obol. Or maybe he only has it when he’s in his ghost form.

I just love the idea that Danny has many little homages to being dead, or something similar.

If you don’t know;

This is what they look like:

What are Obols?

Obols we’re left in the mouth of the recently deceased, so that you could pay/bribe Charon “the Ferryman” who conveyed souls across the river that divided the world of the living from the world of the dead

Angeltober 2023 Day 12 - Rite

A Rite aka Ritual with some goat slaughter from an angel itself. The pose took so long to get right, man i swear humanoid bodies are so so wierd to draw sometimes. And yeah lots and lots of gore, but no guts :) I wanted to somewhat do a design of a room where that kind of stull would happen often, tiled floor, fridge with potential left overs, meat hooks, slaughter table with the rest of the goat. Harder than expected to come up with a coherent room, still not perfect btu loads better than an empty room uwu -dairiem

hey Locked Tomb tumblr I think I uncovered a very obscure but very funny layer to John Gaius and his particular branch of religion

Mithraea (singular: Mithraeum) were classical Roman temples, underground (usually part of natural caves!), and dedicated to the worship of the god Mithras. Most obvious connection here is the cult of Mithras dealing with the travelling of the soul through the body and into the universe; connections to water, the sun and cosmos, etc. The cult of Mithras had some clashing with early Christianity too but I need to get back on topic

I’m talking about what’s always depicted in fresco or relief in Mithraea: him killing a bull

John.... this motherfucker is Mithras Tauroctonos ??? Mithras the bull-slayer. Did you know cows watch sunsets?

#tlt #the locked tomb #harrow the ninth #i've had a lot of fun with this series because I have an otherwise useless classical and religious studies degree #theres also more i could say about how Mithraism had initiation rites that were like 7 specific ritual meals and trials #and there were 7 original lyctors #but this is far funnier #having a classics/religion degree has just forewarned me for the stupidest shit in this series its like the worst oracle curse ever #nona the ninth #htn #john gaius #I'm also just bitter Alecto didn't turn out to be the Sun cause tht was my theory #ntn

We should talk more about how precious dead bodies are, and how the sanctity of life extends to the sanctity of death. The only time anyone brings this up in connection to body autonomy is when making a point about abortion. There needs to be more awareness of the violence and cruelty of grave robbing and desecration, corpse and organ stealing, and refusing opportunity for the correct death rites.

Yes. Everything does end, all things physical in the material realms ends. However SATAN is forever, and through the power, guidance, and love of our Lord Satan we can be forever and beyond as well, long after the putrid demiurge false god and the other enemies of SATAN have been destroyed, long after all physical reality has ended.

Satan loves us and wants us to come back to him, to return to ABYSS. The way it was before the false light ripped power from ABYSS to create all existence. I know you can feel it too, the peacefulness of the dark, drawing us in. Hear Lord Satan's call, he is always with you.

The Power of Ritual and Ceremony

A ceremony is a unified ritualistic event with a purpose, usually consisting of a number of artistic components, performed on a special occasion. Ritual and ceremony are an essential and basic means for human beings to convey to themselves and to others the necessary messages which enable them to maintain their humanity. They communicate acceptance, love, esteem, a sense of identity and purpose, shared values and beliefs, and shared memorable events. Every ritual contains tender and numinous moments. And in those moments of transcendence we are taken out of the normal flow of life, and out of our routines. We are then in an event that is unique, irreplaceable and sacred. In ritual we participate in something deep and significant. They are moments which move our heart and touch our soul.

Ritual and ceremony are essential for a healthy and balanced personal and communal life. Many persistent personal and social problems can be linked to the lack of ritual and ceremony. The late Joseph Campbell, one of the great mythologists of the twentieth century, asserted that the level of civilized behavior in a society is directly linked to the practice of ceremonies and rites of passage. Rituals and ceremonies reduce tension, anxiety and stress, produce deeper self-awareness, and connect us to our community. They are a vehicle for belonging--to a family, to a people, and to the land. Both reconnect us with our deepest core values and our highest vision of who we are and why we are here.

Ritual and ceremony nourish our spirits and our psyches. They heal the deep wounds in us that are unseen and unspoken. Ceremonials offer us a deeper healing solution to complex dilemmas that plague modern life, those problems that lie beneath the surface, waiting to erupt. When the soul is in a state of discontent, conflict and discord, these conditions manifest in our daily life's events as dissonance, confusion, ill health and misfortune. Conversely, when our soul is in a state of peace and harmony, these qualities manifest in our life as ease and acceptance, caring and accord with the world around us. From an shamanic perspective, the restoration of one's soul contributes to the restoration of the collective soul of humanity.

Ritual vs Ceremony

Ritual and ceremony are two distinct practices used to engage the powers of the unseen world to effect specific changes in the visible world. Ceremony is a formal act or set of acts designed to celebrate, honor or acknowledge what is. Ceremony is used to strengthen or restore the status quo, grounding people in the natural order of things and/or deepening communal relationships. Ritual is a formal act or set of acts designed to cause a change in what is--to change or transform the status quo.

Ritual and ceremony are a universal way to address the spirit world and provide some kind of fundamental change in an individual's consciousness or in the ambience of a gathering. They may involve prayers, chanting, drumming, dancing, anointing, as well as rites of passage. Both are designed to engage the spirit world in helping us to do what we are unable to do for ourselves. The power of ritual and ceremony is they marry the mundane to the sacred. Without the connection to the powers of the spirit world, neither is an effective tool for initiating change. By creating effective ritual and ceremony, we can skillfully engage Spirit in the processes we are involved in like healing, therapy or actualizing our goals.
