I was thrown to to the wolves figuratively...Figured out that I was one,a literally. Atavistic Resurgence

[)AzOzel(]

For the sake of anonymity I will not get into exact details about my experience, however I am lookin to hear from others who have had similar experiences.

I have never been in Magik battle before with other folks/entities until about a month ago. Atavistic resurgence, or reverting to pure raw instinct amidst life and death situations in my case, has been insanely empowering. From a sudden onset of attacks, I was able to fortify and cement my devotion to Hecate as I grasped to her immaculate divine beauty, strength and wisdom. She guided me. I learned who I truly am, where I come from and what my purpose is. If you have ever listened to the Iron Maiden song "Flash of the Blade", fantasizing about wielding the sword as a child and getting that opportunity to fight for what you believe to be noble and pure is amazing. I am a lover, but it turns out that I was bred to fight. I am curious to find others who have experienced this as well. I have always had fantasies, to the point that I thought that I was kind of a looser to think that I was of a certain group, just a nerd with a wooden word..Now that I know, I wish to encourage others to lean into yourself and always stand for what you believe, for dreams may very well be reality. If anyone would like to talk and share experiences I am very open, but once again I'll say that I'd like to keep details of my experience to a 1 on 1 message thread whether it be on here or other means. However, open discussion is encouraged in this thread! I believe atavistic resurgence was coined by Kenneth Grant. Stay strong and fight!

You know, there's also the option of opening a journal in this forum if you don't want any personal topic, adventures, etc. specifically to be discussed.

It's much more likely that A.O. Spare coined that phrase and was an influence on Kenneth Grant.

Spare was somewhat adept at "atavistic resurgence" among other things.

I have read much into the words of Michael Ford and Franz Bardon, both touch on this in a multitude of ways but just use different terminology. Any recommended readings or figures? By the way Austin Osman Spare has been a fascinating dating dude to read about I had no idea that Grant was heavily influenced by him.

The two "main" influences on Grant were Spare and Crowley separately, as well as their tenuous connection to each other. There's a book which I have a physical copy of: "Austin Osman Spare: The Occult Life of London's Legendary Artist" by Phil Baker. I haven't checked for a digital copy of it though (you may want to), it's well worth reading.
