I'm super curious about the relationship between powerful artists and politicians and the occult and Crowleyan magick. I wonder what the fascination is. I've personally never seen the interest compared to the major religions but maybe I'm missing something.

Theres a really good Christian documentary on the dangers and history of rock music that broaches part of the issue

the major religions are about giving up your ideas of being powerful. accepting that there is a path you cannot leave. and accepting that you are a grain of sand next to the power of the almighty god. It seems logical that men and women of power would seek out a power they can use to their own ends, magick being just that.

I have to admit, it's a little creepy (and icky!), but assuming it's a quasi spiritual-religious like practice why does it actually matter if there is no policy push for it violating the 1st and the practitioners are acting of their own free will.


going over this makes me laugh every time

If it did work, and the most powerful people on the planet were the practitioners, would peasants like us hear about it?

i'm mostly joking, but hypothetically we could all be muggles in a world of wizards my man.

Lol yeah. Although on the other hand maybe there really arent that many into it, or are just into it for the art. It's fascinating though. Was Clinton at that spirit cookoff?

the occult has always fascinated me, i'd like to read up more on this subject by that's not exactly "good web history" to put on my record for the work computer.

on a side note #spiritcooking seems like something Lil B would have created

Trump surrogates squeezing away at whatever black vote is left in the toothpaste tube at this point...

Maybe after they get done talking about how bad of a person Jay Z and Beyonce are they can go after Tyler Perry, Oprah, Muhammad Ali, and George Washington Carver. I mean just think of the things GWC could have done for the world if he hadn't wasted his time with a peanut fetish. Ali was a draft dodging coward! Perry only hires black actors for main roles, the racist! And Oprah is fat.
