I am a serious occultist. This is enough information for those who are true initiates.
After glancing over many of the "spells" on this site, I have concluded much of this is fantasy and not at all within the realm of actual spellcraft.
I'm not at all surprised by this as serious occultists do not reveal secrets this easily.
I am interested in speaking with fellow initiates, preferrably those of Thelemic alignment and following a structured initiation and of course, having successfully stepped upon the Tree of Life.
If any of these concepts are alien to you, you aren't doing "magick"
As for all of those who feel "belief" is a tool - and those who foolishly declare that belief is necessary or essential in spellcraft, again, are not doing "magick". Some of the "spells" I read require that one "believes" it will work.
You will find with true magick, much like any scientific formula, it can be observed and repeated with the same results regardless of your belief. Belief and trust comes from success, success comes from having a solid foundation, & a solid foundation comes from learning from a reliable source.
I'm here to turn all the nonsense teachings here on its head and instruct those who truly wish to achieve divinity, know the truth, and achieve the ultimate attainment of conversation with their Holy Guardian Angel.
I am a thelemite myself, and I agree with your assessments.
However there are many paths and different brands of 'magick', there are some serious people on this site and if they have no idea what the tree of life is, it does not mean they do not practice magick...not everyone adheres to the Western mystery tradition, nor a tradition derived from the Golden Dawn.
@Sataset - You're certainly a learned one. I'm sure you're enjoying much "success" in your workings.
@MathewFlame - Upon reading your profile I have questions about your intentions. A test upon you. However, I appreciate your sentiment, and I expect to find what I seek here.
and finally, @Hadit93 - You're absolutely right. I am tolerant of those who walk a different path, however I have no tolerence for outright charlatans, and I can see a great many walk the halls of this perhaps, far too open temple
What's important to see is that the temple appears different to all who walk its halls. The temple is shaped by one's understanding of the world and beyond, and often shadowed by how open ones eyes are to the revelations it might yield.
I've encountered many a Thelemite who described themselves as such solely for the hedonistic purpose of living by "Do what thou wilt" while fully ignoring the concept of True Will.
Crowley himself found his True Will not by sitting in judgement upon the paths of others, but by traveling the world and sampling various cultures, and finding for himself what worked best. True Will, for him, revealed itself in these workings which eventually became the foundation of Thelema.
The laws and traditions of each individual's culture superimpose themselves upon the temple, as it is reveal to them. That is the nature of the mind. In youth, many come here seeking such things out of curiosity. Few stay. And if you see this and raise a throne in your temple, and sit upon it looking down, you'll only see what lies at your feet.
