magical tools
Post Body

okay golden dawn people! so im pretty new to the golden dawn system. ill avoid telling my whole life story, but it is relevant to say that ive been practicing magic for eleven years now, fairly eclectic in my beliefs but with a wicca derivative structure. in that time ive acquired a few tools, such as an athame, a wand that my partner made me, things of that nature.

now i know that golden dawn has a lot of prescriptions about making your own tools and what those tools should look like. how important is it to follow these rules? right now im mostly studying and occasionally trying out some rituals, but i might try to be more faithful to the system later down the line.

the ciceros back at it again with another banger

thats fair! to use sort of video game speak, i knew that the letters and colors worked to power up the tools, but i hadnt thought about how much they give the tools their abilities.

also, side note, but its kind of refreshing to be in a spiritual space that doesnt just say "you should do whatever feels right bc magick is up to you bla bla." i want to know why the system works before i start mixing things up.

i mean the question im asking is "hey is there a good reason to do it this way?" like im not slavishly abiding by rules anymore than a mechanic who asks if he should disconnect the positive terminal first. i come from a chaos magick background so like winging it is something im used to, but im not going to learn the golden dawn system and do all the work involved with that just to wing the important bits.

yeah like im currently in the "studying" stage. reading through ciceros essential gd, and the black brick and maybe the self initiation guide are next on the list. ive done the qabalistic cross and felt good about that, but im honestly not comfortable with the lbrp yet.

two follow up questions while i got you here. what are thd K kwledge lectures? and how much hebrew? im on the "learning the letters and how to pronounce them" part of my journey, and am able to google words i dont know.
