But what’s more intriguing is that occultists can see entities in their rituals without any drugs to help them, because they larp so hard (and pay so much attention to it, by dressing correctly, drawing the right stuff in the ground) that they end up fully convincing themselves that something is there. What’s more interesting is that what they see are supposed to be reflections of psychological aspects of themselves, someone can summon a demon that represents their lust and ‘exorcise’ it to symbolise triumphing over it.
What is that most intriguing is the abramelin ritual, now search it up and look into people’s experience with it because this is extremely interesting, but people obsess over the ritual itself praying to God everyday for it to happen over the course of a very long time, they ‘exorcise’ some demons they ‘summon’ to overcome them in their mental state, and they focus and enter a trance state in which they believe their ‘higher self’ is talking them. All this is supposed to be done without drugs, a supposed experience where you are getting overwhelmed by the experience of you giving information to yourself. Which is how Crowley wrote the book of law, by all the ideas that he experienced crammed into his mind after doing the ritual.
It’s psychologically interesting, is it not?
