Norse paganism still lives in the form of Norse witchcraft

"Norse witchcraft"
As if it was a thing. Every western occult movement follows the tenets of ex-christian homosexuals like Aleister Crowley and Anton Lavey, because there's not enough material to justify making a whole movement based off of alledged "historical" forms of witchcraft. Most we know about witchcraft is from renaissance era larpers and archeology, and that's usually mostly in western europe, because Norse people weren't smart enough to record what they did. in that sense they're like jews, preferring oral tradition over writing.

Also your sentence would be wrong it's the other way around. Whatever you call "norse witchcraft" still lives in the form of neo-paganism, which doesn't just encompass patched up religious beliefs, but also modern political ideas of race which the Old norse would have no idea about, and modern aesthetism that originated in fanfiction written by people who had not the slightest clue about what they wrote about and believed that vikings wore animal hides as clothing.

The word pagan is literally just an insult Christians created against various non-christian religions tbh. I don't think anyone would say Buddhism is pagan for example, but it technically is if we're going by the strict definition of the word. Medieval Christians saw even Muslims as Pagan.

That's all stupid left-handed stuff. Thelema is a twisted perversion of Hermeticism as is Blavatsky's nonsense. If you want good western esotericists you have to go back to Rosicrucians and arguably before them back to the Renaissance with people like Pico della Mirandola, Fiscino, Cornelius Agrippa etc etc

I tend to also disagree with the Himmlerian belief that the witch persecutions were some sort of suppression of ancient Germanic religion. Witches were generally just annoying women methinks

NOOOO!!! Demiurge... LE GOOD!!!!

No but seriously, Yaldaboath (The Gnostic Demiurge) is rather different from the Platonic Demiurge, because Gnosticism is dualistic. In some ways the Platonic demiurge is more like God of the Gnostics, but still not really. Monistic strains of Gnosticism like Valentinianism don't even view the demiurge as evil, merely ignorant.


1. Prometheus was imprisoned because he, a titan, wanted to be revered the most by mankind over the Olympians, so he tricked Zeus and went behind his back. Zeus punishes Prometheus for this but is not distraught by what Prometheus did. Eventually he gives his son Heracles permission to free Prometheus (so says Hesiod)
2. Rape and seduction are not very well-distinguished in Greek mythology or the ancient world in general. It's sort of besides the point anyways, the entire point of such myths is to give a divine origin to heroes on earth.

shut the fuck up.
oh god why cant you get a life?

Magick has evolved a lot since the days of Thelema, especially in the last 5 years. All magick is real and there is no distinction between black magick and white magick, magick is magick.

I've never read Crowley. I started my magickal practice with Hoodoo and chaos magick. I'm a practitioner of folk magick

Hermeticism is Jewish. Like I said before, all magick is real, including Jewish magick, but I'm actively staying out of the Jewish spiritual matrix. Hermeticism is a high magick practice, which is fine, I do some high magick too, but you guys act like it's the ultimate thing, which is cope as hell

I specialize in low magick. Let's be real. Low magick is much more impressive than hermetic practices.

Meh, rosicrucians aren't pagans nor witches. At best they're edgy gnostics like the freemasons, more of a religious heretical group than anything. You cannot have witchcraft without interaction with spirits and from what I know about them they didn't used to do this.
Pico della Mirandola was just a bit dumb imo to include the kabbalh in christian theology, as it is a fundamentally weird talmudic creation, which is also the source of the separation between "white" magic and "black" magic, which is to this day the biggest cope found anywhere in the religious world.

Honestly anything which leads to the search of gnosis is ultimately heresy, for the divine doesn't hide his neture or energies, or if he does, ir would be foolish to believe that man has the power to find them.

Mostly agree with your point on witches
