harmed by the occult?

anyone know any cases about people who delved into satanism/magick/the occult and ended up mentally insane? i know a few cases through friends who have had experiences with this: some guy ended up in a mental hospital after doing rituals in a chapel, it was tongue-in-cheek and but afterwards he started to show schizophrenic symptoms, feeling spirits tap him on the shoulder and voices telling him to cut his face off and so on.
i've heard more about this, like how some people get in too deep into the wrong stuff and get headfucked.

Nothing that isn't drug related. The only similar case I know of consists of someone smoking DMT, feeling a spirit enter their legs, and walking really strange up to this day.

it sure happens.
to process deep altered states of consciousness one requires adequate preparation and recovery.
this applies as much to magick as it does to drugs.

no, but i can see how a mental instability could lead to wanting to dabble in the occult, could lead to more mental instability.

93 "As above, so below". The taller a tower, the stronger must be it's base. As with psychedelic drugs, one with underlying mental issues may trigger these imbalances by ritual means. Partaking in both those activities is magickal practice alike and are thus subject to the same law of the universe. But there are other ways of folly for those without prior issues. Fear is the catalyst that feeds all degeneration, but it is not the initiator. To partake in the arts, one must not strive to conquer , but to transcend. Failure to do so lets the ego ravage the aspirant like a cancer, it's malignancy undetectable until it's too late. When sailing the seas, one does not fight the wind, but use it to attain to one's will. One must utilize and strive to understand nature by submission(the sail), whilst retaining the will to direction(the helm). One must accept that every act must be an act of love under will. Love is infinite and not subject to any dimension, it is not a creation. When backed into the darkest corner, there is always a way out. Some are homeless by choice, ya know. Babalon turns away no one and is always ready, it is through fear that dissolution is profaned. 93 93/93

Here's a book on Ouija casualties alone. Richard Cavendish's The Black Arts gives old examples. The lives of Dr. John Dee and Edward Kelly, discoverers of Enochian Magick finished their lives in poverty and tragedy. Aleister Crowley, who practiced Enochian ritual magick, was surrounded by tragedies: mountaineering deaths, madness, addiction and death of his wives and mistresses, and finally his somewhat obscure death in poverty (somewhat like Dee). The play, Faust by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, about a practitoner of ceremonial magick who makes a pact with the devil is based on the historical Dr. John Dee. Some 200 years earlier, Christopher Marlowe wrote his own story - The Tragical History of Dr. Faustus, who is bodily dragged into Hell by the devil.
Of course, there are some serial killers who have been connected to occult beliefs and practices, Heinrich Himmler and the Nazi high command practiced ritual in subterranean chambers which focused on Teutonic rune magick, and there was of course Hitler and his whole Hyperborean trip and Thule Society if you can believe Pauwels and Bergier in their book The Morning of the Magicians (formerly, The Dawn of Magick). Apparently there was an occult battle between former Anton LaVey Church of Satan member Susan Atkins of Manson Family fame, who butchered Wiccan initiate of Alex Sanders, Sharon Tate - a case of bad witch kills good witch. I could go on, but I won't. Point made.

wow. only this morning i happened to meet a girl who said she and her friend used that board to summon some spirit that is loose in her house now, she had panic attacks and said she can't banish it, i tried helping her and gave her a ritual to do for protection. i'm very familiar with chaos magick so i gave her pointers and the situation has died down for now.
i was just thinking about coincidences and now you with your ouija board book...
