Ch 19.2 - The Occult/Witchcraft
"Those who do not believe in magic will never find it." - Roald Dahl
a. The Occult
---------------------------
People keep looking for ancient secrets and hidden knowledge. But they don't realize that the secrets they are searching for used to be common knowledge. Pagan death cults and witchcraft are nothing new. The Occult stems from the inversion of the story of the Garden of Eden. The Luciferian version is that a "cruel tyrannical" God oppressed Adam and Eve and that the serpent was the "Great Liberator" who gave us a "Great Awakening" of having knowledge or "enlightenment."
"These blind slaves are told they are 'free' and 'highly educated' even as they march behind signs that would cause any medieval peasant to run screaming away from them in panic-stricken terror. The symbols that modern man embraces with the naive trust of an infant would be tantamount to billboards reading, 'This way to your death and enslavement,' to the understanding of the traditional peasant of antiquity" – Michael A. Hoffman II, Secret Societies and Psychological Warfare
Oc·cult - noun - supernatural, mystical, or magical beliefs, practices, or phenomena. Occult comes from the Latin word occultus ('clandestine, hidden, secret') meaning 'knowledge of the hidden.’
Alexander Aleister Crowley advised his students that those who want fame, power, spell-casting abilities, demons at their beck and call, and to recognize the Godhead within, as well as to know the past, present, and future must consistently, with intensity, practice talking (reverse speech), walking, thinking, and playing phonograph records, backward. Some backward examples in popular culture:
- Oprah's Production Company is Harpo. Oprah backward is Harpo.
- Jay Z's song "Lucifer" played backward says “666 murda murda Jesus!"
"When someone tells you to consult mediums and spiritists, who whisper and mutter, should not a people inquire of their God? Why consult the dead on behalf of the living?" - Isaiah 8:19
"The secrets that the powers that be wanted to be buried were in the Bible. Just ask John Wycliffe and William Tyndale. Risking their own lives, these learned scholars stepped up to make the Bible more accessible. John Wycliffe and later William Tyndale, who lived in different times in English history, used their incredible language skills to create English translations of the Bible. Both men made discoveries about what they saw as differences between the church's teachings and the actual text of the Bible. Wycliffe became an outspoken critic of the church, while Tyndale paid the ultimate price for his work." - Unknown
"Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!" - Isaiah 5:20 KJV
"The Left Hand Path sees all in an inverted perspective… But only this path is the true one. Who follows it will find glory and immortality." - Alexander Dugin, The Gnostic
b. Magic/Witchcraft
---------------------------
"Magic is essentially the quest for power over the world and other people." - Adam Blai
”It's 'My will be done' vs. 'Thy will be done.' Religion seeks to submit ourselves to God. Magic seeks to push our will onto other people, and force the world to conform to what we want." - Adam Blai
”Who’s got the instructions?” - The Craft Movie
"There shall not be found among you one who makes his son or his daughter go through the fire, or one who practices divination, or an interpreter of signs, or an augur, or sorcerer, or one who casts magic spells." - Deuteronomy 18:10 (LEB)
"He sacrificed his children in the fire in the Valley of Ben Hinnom, practiced divination and witchcraft, sought omens, and consulted mediums and spiritists. He did much evil in the eyes of the LORD, arousing his anger." - 2 Chronicles 33:6 KJV
“My gal collects antique dolls and likes to make clothes for them and post photos of the dolls on Instagram. It is a fairly sane use of Instagram. But, get this, she is followed by at least a half a dozen different crazy women that sell "Haunted Dolls.” Yup, these women sell haunted dolls to other crazy women. They'll go to a Goodwill and get some cheap Chinese doll and make up some crazy backstory about some fictitious little girl that died and claim the girl lives in the doll and they sell those dolls for up to $1,000 each. Normally, we'd block such crazy people but I'm intrigued by that subculture and they all look just like the hag in this article. Seriously, you've got to be out of your mind to believe yourself to be a witch but a lot of women buy into it. The industry for crazy witch stuff is probably bigger than Hollywood." - Unknown
"Purification through fire. One massive candle spell. The act of burning something is already a powerful act. Now imagine doing so with 100,000 people focusing their awareness on the same thing... Everyone has something to release. Everyone has something they hope to create. Burning Man is the portal in which we perform the ceremony whether people are aware of it or not." - Unknown Occultist on the ritual of burning the Wicker Man at the Burning Man Festival
"Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live." - Exodus 22:18 KJV
"His mischief shall return upon his own head, And his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate." - Psalm 7:16 KJV
"You will enter the land the Lord your God is giving you. When you do, don’t copy the practices of the nations there. The Lord hates those practices. Here are things you must not do. Don’t sacrifice your children in the fire to other gods. Don’t practice any kind of evil magic at all. Don’t use magic to try to explain the meaning of warnings in the sky or of any other signs. Don’t take part in worshiping evil powers. Don’t put a spell on anyone. Don’t get messages from those who have died. Don’t talk to the spirits of the dead. Don’t get advice from the dead. The Lord your God hates it when anyone does these things. The nations in the land he’s giving you do these things he hates. So he will drive out those nations to make room for you. You must be without blame in the sight of the Lord your God. You will take over the nations that are in the land the Lord is giving you. They listen to those who practice all kinds of evil magic. But you belong to the Lord your God. He says you must not do these things." - Deuteronomy 18:9-14 KJV
c. Astrology
---------------------------
”Daughter: Dad what did you do to get mom to love you?
Father: She believed in Astrology, so l would text her at hours like 11:11 or 4:44 so she would think it was destiny
Daughter: What a legend!” - Unknown
"Patient: Will I be ok Doc?
Doctor: I doubt it, Mercury is in Uranus right now.
Patient: I don't do that astrology stuff.
Doctor: Me Neither, my thermometer just broke." - Unknown
"Millionaires don’t use astrology. Billionaires do." - Unknown
"And beware not to lift up your eyes to heaven and see the sun and the moon and the stars, all the host of heaven, and be drawn away and worship them and serve them, those which the LORD your God has allotted to all the peoples under the whole heaven." - Deuteronomy 4:19 KJV
