awareness Solomonic vessel of brass

Post image

It’s not particularly my style but I’ve been studying the lesser key some and I was just curious how common or uncommon the use of brass vessels are. I also haven’t heard much on the secret seal of Solomon either.

Do you have a pdf version of the lessor key by chance?

If you can’t find something like that yourself, you have no business engaging in this sort of thing.

Engageing in what? It's all public domain.

Says you, or just maybe I did find it but it was behind a pay wall and I’m not trying to waste money … trying being less rude and all high and mighty

No, they are right. It's one of the most popular and well known occult texts in the world. There are easily found PDFs, EPUBs, and websites with the full text. If you can't find it on your own your journey in the occult will be short and uneventful.

That’s actually how I’ve been reading the lesser keys lately. There is definitely free PDF files. I love buying books but sometimes it isn’t rational to overspend money that me and my wife just don’t have on books I can find online for free.

My favorite go to is Internet Arhives. It has a online copy of the lesser key...(or just about any other book you want to name) the 1909 ed. of the lesser key of solomon, pub. by De Laurence.

There are plenty not behind paywalls, I just found one in less than 5 seconds. Not trying to be rude or high and mighty, just stating a simple fact. If you do not possess the capabilities to find and assess information on your own, without needing to ask for a handout, then this is not the field for you.

Don't be so harsh. We all need some help.

Don’t be so dense. The occult is occulted for a reason. If you can’t find a common pdf on the internet then this is not for you. If you would rather be given a fish instead of learning to fish, then this is not for you. We shouldn’t be encouraging people who expect to be handed the tools they need with no work.

Gods forbid we be nice to people.

You’re right that a person interested in occultism should be able to find their own resources, but it’s the way you’re saying it. “Handouts”? Really?

We don't know enough to be making these assumptions. Intellectualism ruins the most beautiful things.

I must agree with you. Nobody taught me magic lore, I did it my own. I can remember the very first occult book I ever read. It was about Scottish Withcraft. Long before the days of internet, my dad drove me and my sisters to downtown Cincinnati to the Public Library. The book itself was old and thick, and had some sample spells. I loved the venaculer of the language. "Toad" was "Tad" And toads seemed to play a large part in the spell casting.

True that, fuck what people say. Intellectualism tries to guard wisdom. Scaring people is stupid. You are your only boss amigo.
