This is especially important when it comes to alchemy, as cor centuries there have been plenty of charlatans selling snake oil.<br /><br />This is particularly important when it comes to the Golden Dawn, since Hermetic alchemy is so enormously valuable for spiritual growth. There is far to much obfuscation out there, all dressed up in complicated words, so the reader will think "why do I not get this?" instead "what kind of malarkey is this guy trying to sell?"

I tried to do astral projection many years ago when I was a mere "dabbler" and found my experience to be interesting but it never seemed like the "whole picture". I could never fully put it into words or understand it, until now. This makes so much sense.<br /><br />It is great to see the HOGD/AO truly working towards what Hermeticism and the Great Work actually are, spiritual transcendence. I can't help but be saddened by how the Golden Dawn community has come into the field of the new age and forget what Hermeticism was built entirely upon! This isn't low magick, this isn't "material" magick. The Hermeticist doesn't forego the material seeing it as nothing but illusion The Kybalion says. Instead, they see the material for what it is, and use it to climb the ladder. Balance, true spiritual balance, is the key to Hermeticism.<br /><br />Thank you for the wonderful article and thanks to Popi Oso for his thought provoking post as well. Reading this only inspires me to push harder towards mastering the self and stop dabbling.<br /><br />In LVX,<br /><br />Fr. LUAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
