I have been following the OSOGD and GD lineage and
initiation threads with the same half amused, half repulsed
fascination that some people feel when they read the
supermarket tabloids. It all begins to run together in my
mind.

The hallmark of the serious occultist is a willingness to wade through
incredible amounts of trash in the hopes of receiving just a little
worthwhile information.

Unfortunately, I am finding that the hallmark of far too many

It really seems so, since all you really need is a strong, quiet belief in
the Highest Self.

You mean like this thread?

Cause, you know, in my world "serious occultists" don't sit around
complaining about shit to make themselves feel or look better. All
the folks I respect actually change their reality according to their
will.

A simple jest can change the world. Try it. You may crack a
smile yet, Mika.

(Most?) (serious?) occultists (on alt.magick?) don't have a sense of humour.

One of the easiest ways to cause change in your environment is to laugh. I
remember an exorcism that I was invited to that was going horribly wrong. It
was being done by a Spiritualist and we "Magicians" had been invited to see
"how it's done". We cast a circle around the poor dear and started making
fun of the demon and laughed our asses off at it. Worked beautifully. It got
so fed up with us that it left for good.

Laughter, the best elixer.

Fantastic Cat, I haven't laughed that hard in weeks. You work miracles.
