Excerpt number 2: THe reason why we need to know defensive occultism
June 16, 2007Let me tell you why you are here; you’re here because you know something. What you…. uhhh. Ok I think I was getting once again carried away with my fascination with the movie the Matrix. But never the less I would like to start this chapter with the reason why the knowledge of hunting is necessary especially when one is a regular practitioner of the occult sciences
As said in the preface and within the first chapter, with each passing day more and more people dwell into the uncharted territories that are known as the occult sciences, and as there are very few organized groups that can help those who wish the learn the practices of the occult, the practices of the occult sciences have become somewhat abused within this day of age.
Although there are hundreds if not thousands of well written books on the topics such as magick, sorcery, occultism and witchcraft learning such arcane arts have never been more dangerous than learning them directly from a book. For the old adage holds true that the best way to learn the practice of the occult and magick in general is under the careful tutelage of an experienced master. However we are in a day of age where such masters are overwhelmingly outnumbered by the number of students of would want to learn these arts, be it for the right reasons or for the wrong ones. Regardless though we are still left with one huge problem. The possibility of dabbling (the act of tinkering with powers and practices beyond the comprehension and control of the person attempting them) and abuse of these practices as a whole.
