>Why are you looking for occult forums on the deep web?
Because all the occult forums I find on the regular web are filled with schizos and larpers, I'm assuming there may be something more legit where few people venture.

Larps and schizos have one thing in common, they are attention whores, so they'll go where they can more easily get attention, and that's the regular internet.

Very few would bother taking the extra step to go to a deep web forum especially since they won't get much attention there.

If you have any suggestions please post them (regular or deepweb forum)

Why not just learn from Occult Books?

>Why not just learn from Occult Books?
Why did people start 'convens' or 'secret groups' to begin with?

There must be some benefit to numbers right.

I plan on reading occult books anyways, but having a forum of people who are already ahead of you on the same path is more valuable than just having a large collection of books.

Not only that, how do you choose which books to read?

There are literally thousands of occult books and I'd wager the large majority of them are garbage, especially anything written in 20XX and onward, which were probably made just to make money.

I understand what you're saying, but you have to understand that your position amounts to - 'Just depend on luck and hope you find the right books and don't waste decades of your life'.

Having an abundance of information isn't necessarily a good thing, I'd like to be as efficient as possible.

I already have some good recommendations from many people and I will start reading soon, but if I can find a forum on top of that, that would be optimal. At some point I'm going to reach a roadblock and I don't like depending on being lucky enough that I'd figure out what to do next.

There's modern day gems like Mind to Matter. Don't romanticize the ancients. Build upon their teachings instead.

>Don't romanticize the ancients
I'm not romanticizing it like they're special just for being 'older'. I just think that most modern day writings are quite literally made for making money, and either way they got their info from the ancient writings. So why would I read their regurgitated stuff which very likely was just thrown together to make a quick buck, when I can read the real deal.

I'm sure there are some legitimate modern day occult writers, but the greatest flaw of the modern age is also it's greatest perk, an abundance of information.

I'll still check the book out, but I'm not getting my hopes up lol. Gonna start off with Corpus Hermeticum.

It's Mind to Matter by whom?

okay, i understand... and i largely agree

>It's Mind to Matter by whom?

Dawson Church. the blending of science and the occult is the new era of occultism for me... i can see it leading to great truths
