Occult Social Media Is Toxic

Posted on by Rayn

Because many people on social media and occultist in particular appear to be anti-social, violent, hateful, are proponents of drug use, criminal activity, are against facts, are clinically delusional, and diagnosed with schizophrenia, I decided to delete my social media and stay away from occult and paranormal cultures altogether. I am very disappointed. It seems as if most of these people just gave up on trying to be decent people and on reality. In my opinion, a culture and a community should empower and help their members work towards something. Most occult and paranormal communities seem to be an affirmation Read More

Magic Isn’t Fair or Egalitarian

Posted on by Rayn

Magical or psychic influence in politics is intrinsically corrupt and violent. I have been disappointed with the recent integration of magic, occultism, and paranormal phenomena with political propaganda. Left-leaning political groups and progressive forms of occultism claim they use magic to combat alt-right ideology, disparity, corruption, and inequality. Attempting to use magical forces to do this is hypocritical and corrupt. Many people confuse the emotions of jealousy, envy, anger, and hatred. Jealousy is an emotion tied to feeling insecure and that you will lose something. For example, a friend might be jealous of their friend’s boyfriend because they feel like Read More

Demonic and Angelic Qualities of Humanity

Posted on by Rayn

Humans can exemplify instances of angelic qualities and demonic qualities. An apple is red, so an apple is an instance of an exemplification of redness. Red crayons also exemplify redness, but an apple is an apple and a crayon a crayon. Yes, angelic humans I.e. priests ask for directions. Angels and demons walk among us in the form of humans. We just call it a miracle when a priest does something and magic when a sorcerer does it. Because angelic and demonic presence manifests through qualities of humanity, demonic or angelic presence is inherent in subtle human behaviors. We consider Read More

Magic Always Has a Price

Posted on by Rayn

Debates around morality and ethics are frequent discussions in occult and magical communities. These arguments are so common that some occult communities forbid arguments and discourse on magic that appears to violate a person’s agency. Some rules ban working magic on someone without their consent, albeit it is unenforceable strictly from the perspective of being a rule of a platform. Enfolded into these conversations is whether magic has rules or if karma exists. Examples are arguments about whether people should or should not use magic to curse people or influence people such as to coerce or negate their ability to Read More

The Ethics of the Occult Market

Posted on by Rayn

I wrote: …In my opinion, if your magic worked in a reliable way such that you can teach others reliably, you can conjure the possibility of more income without needing to charge people. In other words, I’m of the mind that if you’re magic worked, you wouldn’t need to charge people to make a living. I believe deciding who does and doesn’t get access to magic based on money implicitly implies social class because it implicitly means only those that can afford it have access. I don’t believe wealthy people should have magic just because they’re wealthy, so I don’t Read More

Why Magical Power Should Stay Hidden

Posted on by Rayn

Anonymous wrote: …Do you want your understanding of magic to spread?… I wrote: …No. Real magic is much too dangerous for typical humans to possess, so I am content with the powerful stuff not spreading and I am content with people thinking it not real. The stuff I share on my site is general abstractions that are extensions of general engineering concepts and not active magical constructs. Considering it is just a synthesis of what everyone learns in school, it is about as harmful as teaching someone Chemistry. As far as selling things, knowledge has created a class divide that Read More
