Is there anyone who done sorcery of hekate 1 course taken from this forum (i mean without QnA) if yes then what were your experience?
I’ve taken SOH 1, 2 and 3, and years later it is still the foundation of my practice (alongside meditation and some Helios-centric planetary work). I’ve had success way beyond my expectations with it, both in terms of spiritual experiences and measurable physical-world results. I’ve made my way into a great career, financial success, many positive changes in my life, have been able to deal (usually) with spiritual problems as they arise & help many others. I’ve encountered spirits, cast out spirits, healed people, cursed people, and my success in spellwork is like 5x what it was before taking the system. I’ve also found its methods of mysticism to be deeply enlightening, and it has a lot of great ideas and features that I haven’t found anywhere else.
Jason’s overall practical mindset towards magic is among the best. He cuts through a lot of bullshit that modern occultism is swamped with, and really teaches you how to be an effective competent practitioner.
That said, I don’t believe his work is “the best magic ever, and beats everything out there”. I generally don’t think it’s up to the system as much as it is the individual skill & commitment of the practitioner. Jason gives a very good system that I’d strongly recommend. But there are many other systems that I’m sure are good too, so:
Is it worth the money? I say yes, but in all fairness the money wasn’t too much of an issue for me. If you are not financially in a place to spend $700 on a magic course, don’t. Stick to his books, which are also excellent and can be found here for free.
If you have the money though, and if you’re going to put it towards any one occult thing I seriously would advise spending it on Sorcery of Hekate. It is by far the magnum opus of Jason’s work
Criticisms:
1. Typos and mistakes abound in his work. He’s clearly lazy and scatterbrained, which is fine, many people are, but he could do with hiring someone to look things over. It’s just annoying and unprofessional.
2. Strategic Sorcery is probably the worst with this. I’m talking grammar errors that a 4th grader wouldn’t make. The lessons are packed with cool stuff to experiment with, but you’re basically reading half-baked first drafts and I was honestly pretty pissed that I had spent money on it. It’s free on here so I will say, dig through it. You’ll learn a lot. But you’ll also see what I mean with the horrendous presentation.
3. I didn’t like the Black School. Got it for free off this site, thankfully didn’t spend the money. It’s a whole bunch of stuff that honestly you could figure out just by reading contemporary grimoire authors. Might’ve been cool as a 2 or 3 part arcane audio series. The price point makes you think that it’s a complete system the way SOH is, and honestly, it feels like he cobbled it together just to have a SOH-tier product for the Solomonic crowd.
I’ve also moved away from Christianity entirely since this, for entirely different reasons (relating to the research of a certain Dr. Hillman). But yeah even when I was all about incorporating Christianity into my practice, I found Cyprian very underwhelming compared to SOH.
4. Many of the arcane audios are good but not worth $60 each just to hear him talk for ~2 hours, with ultimately less info than an average book. Would be great as a YouTube channel.
5. He’s currently marketing a “strategic sorcery deep dive” which is a retake of the Strategic Sorcery class, except with Q&As each week. This costs $600, and you still have to buy Strategic Sorcery ($150) if you haven’t already. In his defense, the Q&As of his courses usually are excellent, and this is really where he conveys a lot of the mindset of how to apply magic to irl situations effectively. But come on dude $600 for something that doesn’t even have any new content. I certainly will not be buying it.
Tl;Dr: Sorcery of Hekate is one of the best things out there, but Jason is overall mid, most of his material aside from SOH is sloppy and overpriced. My conclusion is Hekate herself found reason to use this guy to convey her teachings. So give it a try if you have the means, but don’t get too into the Jason fan club
