>What exactly did you do then? Please don't be cryptic and explain and preferably post books you used or whatever
Dude, don't ever expect a response from these guys, a lot of them are larpers who get off on the idea of getting peoples hopes up and the rest are schizos.

They'll post these amazing stories and never include where to start and what books to read.

Pic related is a great example. At least that guy actually give a specific form of magic you could try out yourself, so I guess his post is better.

good post. if real spells exist (outside of chemistry, physics, electricity etc which I believe are 'magic') - compiling a list of them would be a start.
The next question is - why do they work? There's an entire subfield of particle physics dedicated to understanding how different amounts of protons create different physical properties.
Supposing the fah rune is real -- what else is real? Why does it work? Can anyone make up a rune and effect? Is a spirit making it work? Why do they care?
I've talked with a lot of people who just want a simple means-to-an-end 'magic' without any desire to understand the world behind what could make it work..

>You're in for a rough few years if you think you're doing that shit by rhyming shit off from a book
I think real magic has less to do with specific incantations and more to do with intent. It's not the words themselves but the intent behind the words. The words are probably not even required.

>There's going to be a minimum of 3 suicide attempts getting into magic.
Why?, what do you mean?

Am I going to be possessed?

If not there won't be any suicide attempts at all.


>I've talked with a lot of people who just want a simple means-to-an-end 'magic' without any desire to understand the world behind what could make it work..
Well I think the ooh shiney part is required else no one would want to delve any further. Until you can prove to yourself that magic is 'real' you won't even think about understanding what's 'behind it'.

>One theory I have on that is a lot of 'magic' takes place only in the mind (perhaps the astral plane)
If that's true why would one assume magic even takes place at all?

If I can't do anything that can be observed in physical reality magic is useless.

I plan on doing a series of minor tests to do such a thing. That's the 'first threshold' for me, if I can't get past that, I won't delve any further.

I just think it's too convenient for someone to say they can 'channel a God' which can destroy an entire city, but they can't move a tiny pebble with just their intent alone lol.

It's like saying you can't do 10 push ups if someone is watching you, but you can do 1000 push ups alone in a room by yourself.

Oh and not 'possessed' more energetic influences and alchemies from interacting with Qliphothic entities or otherwise.

You'll go batshit or you'll turn into a deluded egomaniac like the other cunt there.

Oh, thanks for the advice, no worries though, I'm already crazy so it's kind of impossible for me to go insane at this point.

I don't really live for the same things most people do either, so suicide is inconceivable to me. There is nothing I have in my life that I could lose that would drive me to suicide.

I'll be sure to look out for your tripcode, maybe one day I can update you on my progress.

Actually scratch that, eye sight, I'd definitely kill myself if I was blind lol, it's just too essential to enjoying life.
