lol

It's basically hermetic alchemy

>>21905959
yeah its legit

Magic that works becomes technology or medicine.

>>21905959
The real magic is the friends we make along the way.

>>21905959
>hurrr is magic real i mean in a psychological sense of course not in a magical sense lulz
Fuck around and find out, faggot.

>>21905959
>I'm not expecting Harry Potter shit.
The fuck is the point of being a wizard if you cant even shoot fireballs from the tip of your fingers.
> bu~but you don't get it anon it's about being more powerful psychologically
So self-help books. Might as well read the Secret you idiot it's exactly as valid and the odds of being able to use it in a conversation with some inane 35 years old cow to make you look interesting will definitely skyrocket.

>>21905959
>tried magic
no because im not retarded and dont fall for gay tricks
>tried HIS magic stuff
NO because i read some excerpts from the introduction to magic and it scared me. FUCK that and fuck anyone who does.

>>21906059


you can do magic without a wand, but mostly it's Hollyweird Jew shit, COGUH COGUH, CGI

all your mothers smoke pole

>introduction to magic and it scared me.
Why?

>>21905959
I think that the only reason most people here are reading Evola is because he looks cool in that pic with his monocle and tough arrogant superior looking pose.

>>21905959
Evola's magic stuff is decent but you are better off reading the sources yourself and better off not consorting with demons if you wish a happy life.

>>21905959
In the first section of Intro to Magic they say that you more or less have to have a spontaneous enlightenment that is both indescribable and impossible to force. I did not make it past this step.

Listen to this and try again

>Magic=fireballs
>Psychology=selfhelp book
It's an honor to see such a pure breed midwit.

>>21908596
I started reading him before frequenting this board. I was pleasantly surprised to find other readers of the Trads here. Evola looks like a dark lord, before all that stuff became cool in movies, it's great.

>>21908702
Thanks anon, this was fantastic.

>if what you wanted to happen happens, you did magic
>if it doesn't happen you didn't try hard enough or it wasn't meant for you
so magic is just confirmation bias?

>>21908582
heavy emphasis on the consequences of beginning the path. shit like "once you begin, you cannot turn back, lest you bear the consequences." evola himself speaks of this i think. he talks about his own experiences in such an unusual way which makes it clear that hes not being melodramatic or is doing it out of sentiment. the brutal objectivity overall presents these matters in an unusually serious light, which seems more appropriate concerning things concerning the metaphysical.

theres also other stuff i saw concerning the performance of rites. "and THEN 7 black pigeon-headed men will appear and they will circumcise you and sublimate your prepuce after dipping it liquid mercury."

>selling your soul for some wacky experiences and mind baubles

>>21909139
this strawman is literally dismissed in the book. it is a path of self knowledge, not a mystical acid trip. i mean im not defending it, idk if its legit but it isnt as wacky as most of you niggas think

>>21909175
>path of self knowledge

>>21909189
Also addressed in Evola's œuvres. You just don't even know what you're talking about and are making strawmen in your head to argue against.

>>21909224
I know your little tricks
>le personal eveoltuon and growth
Its satan

>>21909243
You think Evola believes in evolution too? Kek. Read Fall of Spirituality, it's only 200 pages and will set you straight.

>>21909263
Tbqh I'm merely shitposting. I dont even believe in Satan

>>21909265
>gets refuted
>i-i was just joking!

>>21909272
Well I was

>>21906004
Holy Reddit.

>>21908704
Then what is magic?

>>21909462
Practical metaphysics.

>>21909462
Spooky fun time mind shenanigans

>>21909470
And what does it do?
