Eye anon what step of the IIH are you on? Or are you more interested in John kreitmer than franz bardon?

>IIH thread >first post is about asking an another anon what step they are at in IIH *sniff* No. I'm not crying. You are crying. Just looked at my own copy of these books. They are on my HDD since 2014. It's time for a reread sniff

>>25725 >Initiation Into Hermetics is the single best way to learn real, useful magic. >"is" the single I more into Crowley exercises and post-modern practices. But a lot of Crowley thing are out dated or pure trolling. I dont know much about Bardon or from what Magic Lodge he comes. I read some parts of the book of Bardon and its like >first, a lot of, yes, a lot of, Fluff lore things about some magic beliefs like the Gnomes things so the paradigm, similar to correspondences-associations of other magic system of lodges or dudes, maybe he stealed this from a magic lodge (same as crowley) and its not made up around mythology. A lot of these thing are useful for the system and ritual, other times are just Pure Fluff for the system of Grades of the magic lodges. >Second, more talk about self importance fluff Still useful for the belief of the system, or maybe fluff. >Third, exercises and techniques (Breathwork, Energy system-belief and concentration and relaxation tech and more tech) Tech for get the altered state of mind or gnosis-samadhi, or for focus in preliminary ritual practice maybe. >Later The later of the book is the same, a lot of techniques are similar to swedish breathwork, qi gong exercises belief, and pranayama and yoga tech. >Also I suppose the book of ceremonial magic is the book of evocation that is maybe related to thaumaturgy, i didnt read it still. The guy is damn danse in lore-fluff, Crowley was a troll asshole but was more direct to my opinion (but still he wrote a lot bacause thelema is a religion with dense lore and etc, damn) Some things about the book give me some vibe of Teosophy, some of the techniques and exercises are from breathwork, swedish breathwork, qi gong, pranayama and dharana maybe. >About hermetics I dont believe its hermetics, same as Kybalion from new tought. If you want hermetic greek-egyptian meta-religious-philosophy better go read specific academy books about that.
