Golden Dawn practitioner here. Came to chat about the occult. Every other forum concerning this topic is full of neckbeards and wiccans trying to hock cheap oils that smell like a goat's nuts, so I'm excited to chat with fellow /x/philes.

Welcome aboard! Could you elaborate a bit on your practices? I work within the Golden Dawn system of magic, which is an initiatory psycho-spiritual system for self transformation. My ultimate goal is to bring myself closer to the divine, using rituals that augment the way I think and behave. I haven't been doing this very long, so my knowledge on the system is brief. I'm a Hermeticist, a Neo-Platonist, and a Christian. I hate Protestantism, as it's an egalitarian watering down of ancient Christianity, which focused on the Christ symbol of a perfect unity between man and divine and was a hierarchical initiatory system taking many cues from pagan Greek mystery schools. In this way, I respect the apostolic churches, mainly the Orthodox church, but also the Catholic church to a far lesser extent due to the wild corruption. I see these traditions, and also the western esoteric tradition (even though they don't completely see eye to eye) as the fullest expression of western spiritually and philosophical tradition still alive today. So I use the tarot and preform the LBRP, and also pray to God and look toward his son as a symbol of what man should strive to become. Go figure.
