My suggestion is to take LaVeyan Satanism(and the Satanic Bible) with a grain of salt, at least when you are starting out. I'm not saying there isn't something deeper to any of it, but a surface reading is going to get you mired in what is largely a satire on Christianity aimed at duping the credulous into giving the Church of Satan money.

As you read any subject you should not be doing so with the express purpose of looking for something to believe in. Discover what you believe in as you go based on your experiences and through finding out what will produce results, because ultimately if it doesn't change your life and help you manifest your will/desire, then it's not worth anything more than make believe.

I normally recommend these works for beginners:

The Disinformation Guide to Magick and the Occult

Liber Null

Condensed Chaos

Note for those that aren't aware/lurkers: Peter Carroll's Liber Null and Psychonaut are works in the realm of Chaos Magic, an occult area that has been emerging since the 1970s. Liber Null is a primer, of sorts. Like an introductory textbook for people joining/studying Illuminates of Thanateros (IOT).

I would recommend the same book that u/modern_quill recommended to me, [Liber Null by Peter J. Carol](Liber Null & Psychonaut: An Introduction to Chaos Magic https://www.amazon.com/dp/0877286396/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_nvWfAbD787VQK)

I recently fell into the Occult world as well. A was given a deck of tarot cards. It was the Rider-Waite deck. I started reading about it and a spark lit. Now I am consuming everything I can get my hands on.

I like MindandMagick as well. Also, I found this video on the Hermetic Principles very helpful and well explained.

As for reading, I have started reading the Liber Null by Peter Carroll and Condensed Chaos by Phil Hine. Recommend both if you're interested in Chaos Magick.

Some of the seminal works on Wicca are Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner. by Scott Cunningham and Buckland's Complete Book of Witchcraft by Raymond Buckland.

Good luck on your journey. Personally, I am starting small by working on my meditation, mindfulness and single-pointed thought. Also, studying the tarot a few cards at a time.

FACE PALM

This hurts so much to read it makes me want to cry.


You're so cringe worthy.

"It only ever brought me more of what I wasn't interested in"

"I will even go so far to say that known rituals such as these attract more negativity"


Cause you fail to understand it.

Now
holds hands up* please don't be like the other guy who said im full of shit because you don't agree with everything I say, no PLEASE, point out the flaws..correct me if you can, but I can promise you if you put any real effort into researching this ritual you will see how flawed your view is.


LBRP can and will destroy anything that is not that stable in the magicians life not always but it does happen. It's not bad...those things need to be sorted out anyways.

The LBRP helps you reach a state of balance, if knocking shit over and breaking it helps you find balance it may do so, it may of actually already been in the process of playing out that way but the lbrp may of some how made it happen faster.


Im basically trying to get at this...

The LBRP is powerful and must be understood.


It's really about what you think and your perspective you carry into it. If you go into hating angels, not knowing what may come out of it, and not understanding the purpose or operating system or mechanics of it, and why you do what you do...and how its going to effect your mind and your life then yeah dude... you may have shit experiences with it.

But just because your thoughts are bad, and you have had troubles with the LBRP to tell another being that beings feed off you during it is laughable. You really think over a thousands magicians who does this ritual would of reported being a personal buffet... but that's not the case is it...

It's always people who pick up this ritual and then they don't stick with it...they just do it, have bad experiences and bail.


ITS YOUR MIND SET, I promise you. It's your perception.


I've done this ritual on shrooms & dmt, nothing ate me. If that was the case I should of got fucking eaten alive.

Things have fallen in my life like a tower but they were going to fall anyways, the LBRP has brought me closer to the divine and my inner knowing. The lbrp teaches me about magick, it has a lot of knowledge instilled inside it from doing it and wisdom that comes from doing it... this is why Crowley label'd it the stone of the wise.


IF crowley never said beings eat off you, and he did the star ruby... a ritual like the LBRP then you guys are full of crap, I know you're full of crap, but Im shocked into how and why you believe such crap.


LBRP is as safe as drinking water. Ill leave it at that.


if you think drinking water is going to give you cancer then you may associate everything that comes with it and everything in it with cancer...but that doesnt make it cancer. perhaps to you... but thats your perspective not everyones, don't force it upon others and spread your perspective like a cancer.

    Think of it like this...

    If we're in a car together and I love jamming reggae music but you love jamming rap?

    and the whole time in the car you're blasting that rap music hardcore having the time of your life.

    by the time we reach the destination of our road trip or what ever who is going to be drained more? or "fed" off of more... you or me? who is going to be drained... Me. because I like reggae and you're blasting rap music.

    Your rap music is fuel for you, cancer to me.

    what you radiate with, others might not.

    so if something as simple as listening to music can cause irritation, drainage, energy malfunctions etc..

    You best believe when it comes to magick you need to find a system that resonates with you and that you understand more... If you don't the ritual may indeed harm you more then designed because your perspective isnt alighn'd with it therfor you get burned when others get fueled.

    Hope this helped.

It is very difficult to establish any kind of reading order for occult studies. Occultism itself is an infinitely tangled strand of truths, half-truths, and lies. It is difficult (perhaps in possible) to identify a starting point and (getting lost is part of the fun).

Nonetheless, I will do my best to identify some possible entry points.

  • Crowley Created a reading list for A.'.A.' initiatives. This is not a bad place to start if you are interested in the Thelemic approach.
  • If Chaos Magick interests you, Liber Null & Psychonaut is not a bad place to start.
  • My personal favorite approach would be to start withUndoing yourself with energized meditation and other devices After sufficiently "deprogramming" yourself, you may hugely benefit from reading The Dao De Ching, The Torah, The New Testament, the Koran, The Bhagavad gita and other sacred texts not necessarily associated with esotericism. These books contain the most profound truths beneath layers of bullshit (the bull being Taurus/ the sacred cow/ ra) and allegory.

Here is a link to arguably the best introduction to wicca that there is.

https://www.amazon.com/Wicca-Solitary-Practitioner-Scott-Cunningham/dp/0875421180/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1519634712&sr=8-3&keywords=wicca+guide&dpID=51j%252BwKpACML&preST=_SY291_BO1,204,203,200_QL40_&dpSrc=srch

This was the first "occult" book i have ever purchsed/read. I am not a wiccan but that book "opened the doors" for me so to speak. Once I realized that i was interested in much more than just wicca the following book by peter j carrol steered me in the right direction based on the practical exercises in an almost textbook like format.
