Book Discussion What Are You Reading (Occult)

[art-vark2323]

Greetings from the future! Was wondering how you're doing with The Hekateaon? Also wondering about the whole PDF vs purchasing the book (it would cost sooo much so realistically the PDF is what I could source, which I don't even know if it's "up to date", or even good source materials was wonder if I could gather your insights?

Hi! I just saw this, apologies for not responding sooner. I love the Hekataeon. After getting the initial rites out of the way, I've taken a more relaxed approach to it and I use it a lot for the hymns and the rituals as a way of connecting with Hekate. Getting the book is worth it, but so is starting with the PDF. I started with the PDF, I believe there is a copy in the Wizard Forums book share section. There aren't, at least to me, any particular drawbacks in starting with the PDF if that's what you can get.

Thank you kindly for letting me know! I appreciate it!
I found the PDF and started checking it out, but yeah there's this small, traumatized part of me still that's scared to commit to anything "religious" (thanks Christian church). But I do want to take my power back and start believing and worshiping my way.

Blessed be!

Reading The Book of Immediate Magic and Claves Intelligentiarum. I tend to bounce back and forth between all sorts of stuff. Prior to those I was reading Stalking the Wild Pendulum: On the Mechanics of Consciousness by Itzhak Bentov. That one changed my entire world view, probably the most impactful book I've ever read.

The Iluminated Faith fate by Reuben Swinburne Clymer
It's a book on some lesser known teachings of the St.John and Lord Jesus Christ on attaining soul consciousness
And how it has some overlaps and links with gnostic texts..
As Im already read almost 53% of it...
This is another title by this author that I really enjoy reading it...
