“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.

I wear this little amulet all the time, and while it isn’t on the virgin parchment as described, I still consider it potent. And it looks cool.

Utterly amazing piece by Lupe Vasconcelos.

Abrahadabra is a word that first publicly appeared in The Book of the Law (1904), the central sacred text of Thelema. Its author, Aleister Crowley, described it as “the Word of the Aeon, which signifieth The Great Workaccomplished.“ This is in reference to his belief that the writing of Liber Al vel Legis heralded a new Aeon for mankind that was ruled by the God Ra-Hoor-Khuit. Abrahadabra is, therefore, the “magical formula” of this new age. It is not to be confused with the Word of the Law of the Aeon, which is Thelema, meaning “Will” in ancient Greek.

Gematria

As with most things found in the mystical works of Aleister Crowley, the word “Abrahadabra” can be examined using the qabalistic method of gematria, which is a form of numerology, whereby correspondences are made based on numerical values.

ABRAHADABRA = 418
ABRAHADABRA has 11 letters

ABRAHADABRA = 1+2+2+1+5+1+4+1+2+2+1 = 22

The five letters in the word are: A, the Crown; B, the Wand; D, the Cup; H, the Sword; R, the Rosy Cross; and refer further to Amoun the Father, Thoth His messenger, and Isis, Horus, Osiris, the divine-human triad.
Also 418 = ATh IAV, the Essence of IAO, translated from Hebrew as “Thou art IAO”418= BVLShKIN, or Boleskine418= RA HVVR, or Ra Hoor418= הרו-רא-הא, a Hebrew spelling of Heru-Ra-Ha418= ΑΙϜΑΣΣ, a Greek spelling of Aiwass418= The sum of all integers between 13 and 31 inclusive.Abrahadabra is from Abrasax, Father Sun, which = 365 418 = 22 x 19 Manifestation

In Aramaic this word roughly translates into “I will create as I speak.”

Had is the keyword of Abrahadabra. Had is another name for Hadit, the second Speaker in Liber Legis (“The Book of the Law”).“

ABRAHADABRA is “The key of the rituals” because it expresses the Magical Formulae of uniting various complementary ideas; especially the Five of the Microcosm with the Six of the Macrocosm.“

"Abrahadabra is the glyph of the blending of the 5 and the 6, the Rose and the Cross.”
