The Occult, the birth of a new Aeon, and the "magical child" **trigger warning** lots of supernatural weird stuff

Unusual Beliefs
1

Aleister Crowley predicted that magick would one day replace religion.

I kinda see a similar vision he had, although I don’t like it nor agree with it.

Crowley also predicted that a magical child would be born, something akin to a “magical messiah” that would give birth to this new Aeon of magick and beliefs.

My main delusion is that I am said magical child.

That is why the Church and all the other powers that be are so interested in me. I think that they see something in me.

Of course, this is probably all psychotic crap that I need to rid my brain of.

I apologize, but these are my main delusions and I have never opened up about them to many people until now.

I’ve read some about Aleister Crowley,

I actually wrote an article about “famous last words” and his was one of the main stories I included.

That is an incredibly difficult delusion to live with.

They all are, I guess.

But this one puts a lot of pressure on you, and I’m sure its an easy one to just feed with endless information.

I’m happy that you’re sharing,

And I hope you’ll write about it.

Grandiose. I thought i could be the magical child for a sec after reading that. Keep that ego in check. if u act out on that magical child theology the powers that be will throw u in jail. Doesnt mean u still cant make a difference in the world though.

Oh it’s absolutely grandiose!

Thank you for the ego check (I mean that from the heart, and sincerely)

Thank you @GoldenRex

I was actually worried all of you wouldn’t want to talk to me anymore after I posted this.

Writing about my experiences might be possible, but rather difficult.

Thank you, again. :hugs:

It’s okay. We’ve all had weird delusions here before I’m sure. One time I thought I was half alien because I have type negative blood. :zipper_mouth_face:

No way, homie,

We’ll always want to talk to you.

Religious delusions irreparably ruined my life,

Even when I wrote that article, it messed with me for months

But now, I just don’t respond the same.

If talking about this stuff makes you feel better at all,

Keep posting.

Thank you, friend.

This is probably the last time I’ll post about some of my main delusions.

I just had to confess it. Or something like that.

I have, for the most part, ditched religion too. Although I do consider myself very spiritual.

Thank you @Shmy I’m sure that must have taken a lot of courage and help for you to overcome.

It’s funny, but magical anthropologists place the order like this: magic then religion then science. Humankind attempts to achieve otherwise impossible effects by themselves, then requests divine intervention. Science, though, in this continuum, is defined as magic that works: magic that produces the desired effect consistently.

So in that sense, Crowley was right. Science (magic) is more reliable than asking for assistance from a supernatural power.

I’ve had similar, though not identical, delusions, and this explanation helped me a great deal - to realize that magic has a long natural human tradition and is genuinely not occult at all, and that science the natural progression of that tradition. I don’t know if it will do the same for you.

I always wondered why there was a magik and occult revision around the time electricity was gaining influence… but that new tech must have seemed very much magik to the humes at the time… man said let there be light and we never turned it off… thats pretty dam magic…

Now we have clones…the internet…time crystals… dna hackers… ect ect… i think we have such an influx of new magic that its hard to keep a grasp on…its so overwhelming we ended up with a flat earth revision lol…

I feel like revision is not the word i wanted but i havent had coffee yet…

If science is magic 3.0… is scifi potentially magic 4.0? Lol… and for that matter if old scifi ideas become real science should it be classified as something other than scifi?

It’s good that you got this out in the open.

I’m having a hard time shaking off a very persistent delusion, a little similar to what you’ve posted. It faded after a couple of years but came back full-force/even worse last year after my last break.

It’s a very scary delusion and every time I start to believe it. I go into a sort of shock and become paranoid/petrified.

It’s a very obscure delusion, kind of difficult to put into words.

Crowley basically believed a magic child would have to be conceived through a magick ritual. I don’t want to go into the details of the ritual.

But basically the magic child would be something similar to the Anti-Christ, and hold immense magical abilities.

17

I’d like to read up on him but I’m paranoid

18

Yeah I would steer clear of it. I was reading about a magick fraternity last night, and I had some insane dreams.

I really shouldn’t have been reading about that stuff.

19

What are some magical abilities? Have u ever heard of someone being able to make clouds form shapes

20

No never heard of the cloud thing.
