Akira I'm not going to ignore you unless you seem to be getting hostile or agitated , so I will reply .
I don't underatand what you are talking about though, so I am not sure what to say.
No I never caught any demons in any crystals, although it reminds me of the story of King Solomon using his magical talisman to trap demons in an urn and make them build his temple for him (something like that)

i'm gauging how you practice your occultism, that's all. 
but i do genuinely think that you're taking me too seriously half the time.
like i said to you, with my half-mock sentiments i am mostly joking, and i really am interested in conversing with you, even if that is veiled somewhat by my having fun with my time posting here.
i also wonder, are you a Cancer? you seem like you have an emotional depth that would be befitting of that watery shell basin of a Crab symbol.

oh and credit where credit is due. respect due. you should be able to be civil with me, i'm not personally attacking you. i am just having a bit of fun at you. but you do not ignore me, so that shows you've got some tact.

Fuck year Moonshoe, keep on keepin on my brotha! I dig it!
If people think your strange then that's probably a good thing. Always think for yourself and stay open-minded to whatever your heart desires.
 Sorry, that's just my favorite smiley lol

@conn- the story of King Solomon and his construction of the second temple is from the bible. The tradition of him as a master wizard who bound demons to build it using sorcery is from a corpus of literature known loosely as the hermetic tradition or the esoteric tradition (meaning the hidden, secret or inner teachings)
I am not sure what texts most directly cover the story to be honest. I need to look into it!
@akira- I am interested in talking to you too. That's what I told you in the Pm- I am happy to be your friend and chat , we just can't debate because the Islam thread recently showed me you can't handle it when your emotions get going and you weren't listening to what I was saying and were raging about things I literally had not said.
I have always been civil with you, even when you are screaming at me and insulting me and being hostile and unreasonable.
However, as long as things stay on an even keel and we are communicating I am happy to talk with you. I'll simply let you know I am done and step away if things get to the "I will strangle you with your own labia" stage again .
As for how I practice my occultism, I started out with interest in Magick and practiced it initially to achieve my will. But as my understanding evolved I realized trying to use magick to attain my will was he wrong approach, because my will was simply the will of a flawed, ignorant sinner who didn't even have the wisdom to know what he should want or what his will should be.
Using magick faded away into the practice of religion, which I came to understand is just magic properly applied, or magic applied to the correct ends .
My only desire now is to fulfill my spiritual destiny through submission to God, liberation from sin, freedom from suffering through transcending attachment and desire , the eradication of bad karma through the cultivation of Good karma, the Attainment of enlightenment, nirvana , liberation etc ...
In other words , I still play with candles and incence and have an altar , but now the "magic" I do is ritual worship and devotional yoga, not sorcery.
I realized that using magick to attain my own will was ass backwards, because the goal is to submit myself to Gods will, not serve my own desires.
I realized that fulfilling desires leads to attachment, suffering and vice. The real goal is to transcend desire and thus attain inner peace.
The only power I want is the power to heal, help and serve creation, not gratify myself or dominate .
I realized all the magickal rituals and sorcerous procedures are redundant compared to the simple but immeasurably powerful practices of yoga, meditation, chanting and prayer .
The practices I do now are similar in form to magickal workings , but now they are Called "Pujas" - Hindu devotional ceremonies to honour and give thanks and Reverence to God in all his/her forms and aspects.
So I still study occultism, but now I am firmly in the camp of "religion" / Bhakti yoga, rather than sorcery.
Theurgy rather than thaumaturgy.
Does that make sense ?
I feel I didn't explain it well but I hope I got the general point across.
At a point years ago I realized all the spells in the world wouldn't help me as much as simple breathing in and out meditation as the Buddha taught .

Love ya buddy You totally do mean well and are a very kind/loving person. Some day we will burn one brother People will hate whoever, best is not to let it get to you. A lot of people dont like me I imagine but thats ok. I love the people close to me and who casres what other people really think eh? I suffer from a lot of the same feelings of inadiquicy and self doubt. Its a struggle that never stops but its all about how you take it in stride You're a good person and dont let anyone get to you by saying any different bro <3

no, moonshoe, you spelled it out quite nicely. right-hand path.
i thought as much.....it's not for me. i'd rather be haughty and not bore easily. i will probably convert when i get a tad older.
BTW the labia thing, see, it sticks with you, that's the whole point. i also, by the way, was addressing what you were saying in that thread. it's clearly evident. if you can't understand me sometimes, like you say, then you can't know for sure that i wasn't referring to exactly what i presume to have told you and am telling you. not everything gets handed on a silver platter...not anything, really. not for most people.
