Journal Your typical post breakup crisis

[supremecoyote]

I'm currently going through recovery from a bad messy breakup, and in the midst of my grief I started reading "The Kybalion" (just finished), and "Corpus Hermeticum"( current read. Now I'm not so sad anymore, so that's cool. I want to study Gnosticism next but I fear that might make me even sadder than I already am. My ultimate goal in life is to learn how to invoke a hungry infernal, and feed the next cheater bf to it in exchange for the secrets of chyrsopoeia. I'm sure I'll get there, one grimoire at a time.

I'm really sorry you're going through that... breakups like that can leave deep echoes.

Since you mentioned wanting to explore Gnosticism, let me share one of my favorite pieces of writing from that tradition. It was discovered in Egypt in 1945 as part of what's now called The Nag Hammadi Library, dating back to around the 2nd or 3rd century CE.

It's called "The Thunder, Perfect Mind."

This is a good and quite exhaustive scholarly analysis of the poem:

Book – PDF - Thunder The Perfect Mind! A new Translation - Hal Taussig etc.

1.7 MB file on MEGA I Violently love this. It is a literary analysis of a gnostic hymn found in a jar dug out in the middle of f-ing nowhere, the book it self is irrelevant, the poem is as occult as they can possibly get, some regard it as the most beautiful poem in the world, and i agree. you...
