The biggest problem of the Occult is still the same. It is not persecution. It is not the lack of information. Dying out of the tradition. It is not inter-order fighting and politics. Hell, it’s is not the cursing witches wars… no.
It is the damn armchair scholars!
See, what I have come to realize is that most people who consider themselves Occultists are not Practitioners, let alone Practitioners of the Left-Hand Path. They are salon intellectuals, stuck in their intellectual concepts. They talk about politics, religion, and scholarship, and that’s all. They think the Occult is a form of psychoanalysis. It is not.
These people, unlike the Witchfinders, do not believe in the actual existence of Spirits. They do not commune with Them. They do not evoke. They do not sacrifice. They do no channel. They do not walk the path of trials. In the end, their vicious attacks that intend to stifle every authentic form of spirituality are just plain envy. The doors to the Mysteries will be forever closed to these servants of Archons, who just sit idly there…. blocking the entrance with their fat asses to the rest of us.
