Interested in 'forbidden knowledge', left-hand path, Satanism, Black-Magick, Spell-Casting. Always been curious about the taboo subjects and why they became taboo. Is there inherent power in Tabooism? Hence the prohibition? Would love intelligent conversations with the open-minded,

Transgression has always been a popular way of raising power in magic; I'm sure there are others more learned than me who can go into detail

A taboo exists so that crossing it makes an individual feel emboldened. That's the whole purpose and that's why taboos are a good thing. Modern "progressive" society complete missed that point and now even the most vile sick acts are to be considered normal. So taboo has lost all its power

There are some taboos that are Taboo just because they are dangerous and do not align with the 'agreed upon' societies we have built.
From a biological perspective, one might say that ensuring our children are allowed to reach reproductive age is the single most important thing in our lives as humans.

I have been told that the LHP magicians are obsessed with personal freedom, and are uncompromising when it comes to sacrificing any of their own magical power for the sake of some society. An almighty God would tell us to suffer in this life, and be rewarded in the next, but who is to blame someone who decided that they wanted to prosper in THIS life, as short as it may be...

I agree in part but we all remember as children how exciting it was to break a rule-and ge away with it. There is certainly a power, an uplift in breaking rules and no doubt the bigger the taboo the more the feeling of being an overcomer?

 

[Yazata]

No. If every small taboo gets normalized it results in a situation where in order to feel you

break a rule-and ge away with it

you end up thinking you need to do really bad things in order to feel that same excitement. Would be much better if people again thought they shouldn't use the Lord's Name in vain (as an example)
