This journal is a space for opinion pieces and commentary on controversial topics in the occult. What I’m sharing here will be lived experience so leave your theories at the door. This is not meant to be an educational space, but hopefully you can take away something from this if you pass by.
Honestly, I didn’t want my first post to be heavy. I already have four different drafts that are short and to the point. But when Ohana said that “Maybe whatever force that hides knowledge that people don’t need to know is the most merciful force of them all,” that got me. This is true. But nobody hides anything.
I do have a place where I actually share what I know. I’ve written a lot of borderline soul related material, spirits, deities, they’re all lived experience details. They’re so specific you could practically copy paste it and make it a book. It’s public too, which is the funny part. But the number of practitioners who can actually find it is small enough to count on my fingers.
The thing about magick is if you’re meant to learn something, you’ll be guided to it. Spirits, deities, humans even. Someone shows up at the very right time, and the dots connect. You don’t force it. It arrives at your door, whether you’re ready to hold it or not.
And if you’re not meant to know something, then no matter how much information is floating around, you’ll ignore it. Even if the information is right in front of you, even on public forums like this, you won’t believe it until you have lived experience. That’s why one real contact, one genuine experience shared by someone who’s been there is worth more than 200 books of theories stacked together.
There’s also a reason knowledge doesn’t get handed out freely. It can wreck people. If someone gets information they’re not supposed to know, they can spiral into obsession, addiction, coping behaviors, or chasing answers they may never get. Worse, it can grow bad traits in them: control issues, pride, etc. So with knowledge, you practice humility.
And I don’t mean being humble toward other people like you’re lesser. I mean being humble with the knowledge itself. Knowing what to share, when to share, and what should stay quiet. You won’t find me boasting about what I can do. I’ll share little, usually what helps the topic at hand from my lived experience, or what someone needs for safety especially if they’re dealing with a harmful spirit.
I’ve seen what happens when people get a little power and grow some bad traits. I taught a few people a method for distance contact, something they could use to reach someone else miles away. One used this method to build an esoteric shop. Another turned against me. And the one who turned against me started acting like they were above everyone else. Over one piece of knowledge. Not even a big one. A single piece of knowledge was enough to fuel a bad trait. After that, they’d had bad intentions toward me for a long time, and eventually I used their bad intentions against them.
That’s why magick stays obscure. That’s why you don’t see truly advanced practitioners dumping everything online. In the occult, the quote “knowledge is power” is very true. It’s not the people who need three pages to explain one esoteric idea, it’s the ones who can explain it clearly in a paragraph or two. That kind of brevity comes from real understanding and a lot of knowledge to distill the point into something concise. And if that power is meant to be yours, you’ll grow into it and it will come. If it isn’t, then it isn’t.
If you’re seeking real insight, practice. Practice daily. Keep notes. Invent stuff that is from your own knowledge. Experiment a lot. If you want the knowledge to answer all your questions, earn it.
