[Help] Does practicing dark magic, or traditions, have an effect on one's soul or afterlife?

[Beyond Everything]

Neither throwing curses utilizing 'demons' nor doing healing petitions to 'saints' have much effect on your afterlife prospects. For most people -including the vast majority of occultists- you're getting recycled and 'you' cease to exist (the constituent parts of you go on into different identities, which explains some past life memories). You need to really do some serious self-development to become a self-directed power in your own right post-mortem.

And concomitantly there is no soul in the sense used by the generic major slave religions.

I feel as if this is an important question to ask.

it depends on how used it. all is a tool. intention defines all.
