I’m just going to say it, tumblr isn’t a good place to learn about the craft right from the getco. 
Yes of course it has some golden blogs, and I myself have made plenty of educational posts, but tumblr shouldn’t be your only source of information on the craft.  I don’t understand why this is such a conversational statement on this website, you can acknowledge this and still use tumblr.  

THIS BLOG IS MENT AS A COLLECTION OF INTERESTING ASPECTS OF THE OCCULT, NOT AS AN COMPLETE INSTRUCTION OF THESE.

“Principles of Magic
1. Every magician has a beautiful vision for the world. 2. Every system of magic is a single artists tool, used to reshape reality. 3. If you believe, it shall exist. 4. When you call, they will answer. 5. Success and failure, is one and the same: ignorance and depression is the enemy. 6. Be like all equally, and you shall unite; refuse and separate.”

How to become a better occultist – Written by Madavascus

secretworkings:

Here are some propositions I devised on how to become a better occultist. These are based on my personal experience as someone who has practiced occultism for over a decade. They are not organized in an order of importance.

1. Acknowledge that you are part of a golden chain of occultists, from the most ancient philosophers to the post-modern psychonauts. Honor your predecessors (and their invaluable work) by acquainting yourself with their ideas: these will strengthen your mind and assist you in the Great Work. 

2. Be aware of energy, where ever and when ever possible. 

3. Trust your intuition, or gut-feeling. If something does not feel right, it probably isn’t. If it does, it probably is.

4. Be always open-minded to new possibilities, new methods and new theories. Occultism is an ever-evolving science.

5. Take pleasure in every occult operation. Have fun!

6. Acknowledge that what you do is at the apex of human experience, so do it with dignity.

7. Be bold. No occult or spiritual breakthrough is ever achieved by the timid.

8. Never be submissive or feel inferior to any entity, but avoid hubris and arrogance. Treat entities with the common civility and courtesy you would show a fellow human being, even if they are not human.

9. Embrace the Dark Unknown, the Great Beyond. That is, love the fact that there is ever more to learn, ever more to do, ever more to achieve. 

10. Respect the Mysteries, and the personal gnosis of fellow occultists
