What's the Most Unhinged/Controversial Occult Insight you have?

[Sedim Haba]

I'

Hmm... I don't know how to phrase this in a way that will be understood correctly, but let's try. At one point, I realized that my late grandmother, with whom I had developed a post-mortal connection, actually is, but also isn't exactly that person. She is still kind of that person, but now she also has some kind of additional 'content' that is at times very controversial and somewhat creepy. Does my relationship with her make me a necromancer? And does this mean that after my death I will also become such a spirit? Up until the moment I realized this, I could still somehow accept the idea of linear reincarnation, but after becoming aware of the strange nature of my late grandmother, that idea now seems completely meaningless to me.

Clarification asked. What do you mean by linear reincarnation? Reincarnating in the past from the future? IF the realm of spirits is what some think, then for them there is no past, present, or future. But IDK. Reincarnation does not need to follow human timelines. One past life, I was a Parisian in 16th, maybe 17th century France. Was that the last time I was in this mortal coil? what about all the centuries since then, where was I?

Also, what do you mean by post-mortal connection, did she die before you were born?

Turns out that Levi performed the necromantic invocation of Apollonius 3 times and got information from the shade that appeared. This is different from the otherwise excellent writeup in "The Black Arts" by Cavendish.

It's worth studying both Waite's and Greer's editions of "Dogme et Rituel de la Haute Magie", and... that's a great link you posted!
