I've gone down the rabbit hole these last few months really trying to figure out the occult and from what I've read and experienced, I can tell you with certainty that it's real.
Occult practices are all based around exploiting parts of the human mind and body. It's like the lesser known features that don't generally get taught to people because they're either extremely difficult to actually practice or potentially dangerous (both are true)
The Freemasons knew about this stuff. Hillary Clinton and John Podesta hinted towards extremely specific practices all throughout the WikiLeaks. I don't even think most people picked up the that the time of day they were sending certain messages had ritual significance.
Anyway, this stuff is scary af but also very useful in the world. I've incorporated some of the safer practices into my daily routine (meditation, constant intentionality, thought-feeling separation) and I've noticed an insane change in my life. If anyone has questions about the occult I'd be happy to answer.
Not for me. Sin leads to more sin,
Amen brother
The biggest sin that can be fueled by the occult is pride. It ultimately comes down to where you attribute the highest and how that structures your practice.
Why take a chance.
You take a chance with sin with every action you take. Having a clear grasp of your own heart and truly knowing your priorities is the only way around it.
Read and study the Christian mystic like st John of the cross.
Occult, simply means hidden. Nothing more than that.
Let's not perpetuate ignorance, stupidity and fear because something is labeled "occult".
Not long ago, simple meditation (direct communion with God) was an "occult" practice, because it cut in on the church's business by keeping it hidden from you so you'd keep showing up in hopes you'd get answers... but since they're greedy bastards hell bent on control, they'd never teach you how to meditate and quiet your mind so you can communicate with God directly. Anyone who thinks meditation is "bad" is, and I quote, "a fucking retard".
There is certainly such a thing as "magick", distinct from the magic, associated with stagecraft and slight of hand. The sort of bullshit that the assholes practice like spirit cooking, torture, sacrifice etc. That's dark, heavy, soul shattering stuff that you SHOULD be very cautious about. I see no harm in researching it if you have a solid connection to God and you're not stupid...as an adult of course, so you can understand what goes on to not be naive. I wouldn't even want anyone under 21 screwing around with a ouija board. If you aren't aware of what is going on, you'll be blinded to what your kids could potentially get mixed up in.
Clothe yourself in the full armor of God and use what He gave you between your ears. If you think that reading, hearing or discussing anything labelled "occult" is somehow going to take you out from under God's protection and flip you over to the dark side, I'd say you've got some work to do. Pray and ask God to help.
The 'elites' ie those top in Western governments up through the ranks to the zenith of the 13 families all kidnap, torture, rape, drink the blood of, sacrifice and eat children. If this isn't obvious by now then there's no point saying it. Trudeau does this. Macron does this. Biden does this. Pelosi does this. Tony Blair does this. Angela Merkel does this. Ursula Von Der Leyen does this. Albert Bourla does this. Tony Fauci does this. 'King' Charles does this. And on and on and on and on and on and on.
I can tell you have achieved some level of enlightenment through this work, and seem to be cautious as you should but I’ll give a little advice anyways. Stay in the light, do not entertain even gray types of thinking, remain a pure vessel of light and the dark will be less willing to attack you. Be careful who you discuss certain topics with, a high percentage of people will not be receptive of what you’re discussing and immediately reject you, even here it’s not really a topic that people can accept to study, much less practice. If it does not contradict your religious beliefs then you should have no problem practically applying what you gain from this path, but be warned it is littered with corpses that came before you and it is as treacherous as everyone makes it out to be, so while your head is in the clouds make sure to have two feet firmly planted in reality and stay purpose driven and goal oriented, also it’s a good idea to take stock along the way, writing a journal is the most common way to keep yourself on track to make sure you’re not slipping into something you can’t slip out of. You talked of pride being a sin, the real downfall of a practitioner of esoteric mysticism Is the “ego” which is pretty much a nice way of saying Psychosis.
Good luck to you, and Frens let’s be supportive of his research into this, many are too scared and do not have the willpower to do it much less the fortitude to come out unscathed. At the end of the day it’s OPs choice to realize their own spirituality and we should be willing to respect that. Just remember, this is real, and it’s not a game.
Welcome to the battle, God will handle them, stay out of that nonsense.
It's absolutely real.
There is a Majik that they are clued into.
Remember when The Secret got real big for a few years? It was basically a form of the law of attraction. It's real, but they purposely put stuff out there in half truths, like the secret. They leave enough out so that it will never work.
They can use a type of hive mind method to force events to come to fruition.
But there are triggers and steps that must be taken. Ancient words and phrases, blood and shit mixed and eaten... The depravity is endless.
This is how they retain power in the physical realm. Only they know of it, passed down for generations. And they won't step out of line because they know they can be killed via this method as well. Nowhere is safe.
And let's just say they aren't into dying because they know what's waiting.
This is why everything seems to be entwined.
There are certainly things that the cabal keeps secret from us. Like salt, saturated fat, sunlight and sugar(honey) being good for us.
But the other more spiritual things they do are often Satanic replacements for things God meant for us to do.
For example:
Hard NO< NO< NO. Not even a dabble. Don't do it, girls and boys - it's bad for you.

Mark Passio gives the best presentation I've ever seen on occultism. It's not often that I find a presentation on the occult that seems solid and sharable. I usually have to siphon off small clips of information that are worthwhile, then discard the rest as sensationalism or exaggeration. But this guy's got a full and coherent presentation, a lot of which is due to his delving into underlyng motivations for why people organize around such ideas. I've never seen someone demonstrate so well how the satanic worldview has been largely absorbed and unconcsciously adopted by modern society. There's a sense of ordinariness about it all that he introduces. Not ordinary in the sense of normal, but ordinary in the sense that it seems inevitable and understandable that certain perverse or deranged humans will gravitate towards this. Mostly narcissists and psychopaths, and other serious personality disorders, which then suck up a lot of weak but otherwise not defective masses at large.
I was absolutely about to post some of Mark Passios work, great recommendation! His lectures are bar none, Freemasonry to Ordo templi Orentis this guy knows exactly what he is taking about and will not bullshit you even for a second.
