Censorship and the blind sheeps

Lately, several blogs have been talking about a "Community", which according to them "it is supposed to be a diverse and wide group that includes several Orders, Temples and individuals who practice Golden Dawn Magic".

I belong to a Golden Dawn Order, specifically, the Alpha et Omega and that makes me a member of "the community"; the problem is, that because I belong to a group they don't like, it makes me (according to them) not a member of "the" community.

What a bunch of crap is that? maybe, I'm not a member of "their" group of blind sheeps (I'll go back to the blind sheeps later), however I'm a member of the Golden Dawn community and the real problem is that some of these guys, have self proclaimed "leaders" and take decisions based on what they politically like or dislike.

What about the blind sheeps? well, these guys and many others, like to have a bunch of blind followers, blind sheeps who will bow down their head to them and this is very fucking sick, specially for outsiders...just look at the following example:

I don't understand how outsiders always do bad criticism against the Golden Dawn (as esoteric current), I have read real shit that these guys say; and even without second thought, they claim to be friends of "Golden Dawners" who are the "self proclaimed" leaders of "the community". Can you see how much hypocrisy is vomited here?

To make things clear here, I'm speaking my thoughts and I'm speaking for myself, and I will ever do; I have stated clearly many times that I belong to the HOGD/AO, and if you don't like me because of it, hey, farewell, but I won't please politicians.

I won't bow down my head to anyone, I'm not a blind follower, I'm my own owner and fuck all of those fucking blind sheeps; those who don't dare to speak their minds because their are afraid to lose the sympathy of these lame "leaders"; if you feel offended by this, it is not my fault that your weak mind can't process what I just said.

For a Golden Dawn free of politics,

Why I have been too silent

When I started this blog, I had the expectation of post regularly about my experiences and topics of my interest, and maybe, the interest of my readers.

Obviously, I have many things to do in my regular life, like work, school, have some fun, and of course the workload of the Orders I belong to. Putting aside the "have some fun" part, my daily life is busy and I'm glad I have no time to waste, because I follow a very structured schedule and besides I'm a very methodical person, and barely have time to keep up to date my blog.

On the other hand, I read many other blogs and of course and I consider a normal thing, to agree or disagree with others in many topics. I respect many people out there, but respecting some people doesn't make me a blind sheep or a blind follower of them. 

But here it is the main issue: as I read blogs and comments, it really discourages me in participate in any form of debate or even provide my insights to others, but why? first, I have learned that when somebody wants to learn something, they will seek for help; second, I have gained the ability of identifying a real need of help from someone who only wants to pick on something; third, I'm not anyone's redeemer.

You might say, but what about the help to others? yes, I do help many people at different levels; but when it is about knowledge, I'm very careful with that because as I advance in my Orders and in the development of my skills, I acknowledge the value of remain silence. I have read weird shit about many topics and instead of inspiring me to participate on discussions, discourages me totally because all the people out there are "experts" and no one has the real humility to learn from others, and because of it, I'm not willing to participate in the battle of the egos. 

I live a modestly prosperous, peaceful and organized life, but I have my anti-craft guns ready, just in case...there's always an asshole trying to "play the bad ass", and for those...only punishment awaits.

I hope to keep blogging again and talk about some topics that will piss-off more than one out there, but that's ok, sometimes, you must be an eye opener instead of a blind sheep.

Peace profound, in LVX

The Book of Coelius

I had the chance to obtain this book as soon as it was released, and since I read the introduction I had expectations on the material.  The author is a well-known fellow Magician and Alchemist, Christopher Bradford.

This book it is about Alchemy, the Royal Art, the development of the self; and as it is stated on the material, it refers to practices of an Alchemical Order called Ordo Octopi Nigri Pulveri, from which the brother Bradford is member.

The book starts by describing the particular process of this Order; and quickly moves in the details of the Rites to be performed for each step of the Alchemical process.

Being Alchemy a subject of study strongly based on symbolism, this book surpasses the expectations because it presents practical methods, step by step on how to perform the Rites from the ground, for the development and transformation of the self.

The book is practical from cover to cover; no blinds; no unnecessary theory, just the one needed to understand the work that is being presented. This is a book to be used to work with it; this is not a book for the shelf, or for the armchair.

Being an aspiring Alchemist myself and being exposed to other methods, I found the practices on this book highly compatible with my field of study and development, which are the Rosicrucian and Hermetic Traditions.

I encourage those interested in pursuing the Great Work to acquire this book; it will set you apart from being just a conjurer or just a magician who work for mundane goals. Invest in yourself and work in your own development, your own body, your own mind and soul.

Peace Profound, in LVX
