Anyone Practice Voodoo? (Or other forms of "witchcraft"?)

I'm not upset. My beliefs aren't fragile.
You've been making a bunch of off-topic one-liners, mostly involving cocks.
Someone asked what the Kevin Bacon joke was, so I posted it. That's all.

As for judging people about their beliefs, I think it's important on a harm reduction forum to be the voice of reason occasionally. We don't know what people are on or how suggestible they are. If someone says that 4th dimensional lizard creatures are intrinsically involved in our fate, then I feel obliged to say something.... I'm all for being open and shit, but there has to be a limit.. Doesn't there?

Perhaps here you are overstating your function? It reads a bit like you are feigning concern TBH in the hopes of starting an argument as usual.

Can I just question your opinion's on humour; seriously, re-read the second post of this thread dude. I didn't even know it was a joke. I don't know what that says about the quality of it...

(I am partially just poking the bear my friend as you may realise. I can accept a poking back :) <3)


Voodoo is some dark shit, and it isn't real.
If you think it's real, I think you should consider seriously reducing your drug intake.
If that makes me seem like I'm up myself, or judgmental, then so be it.

God isn't real either :D If you think it is real, I think....oh fuckit ;) But I know that voodoo has been criticised and disparaged by believers in daddy and I can't see any real difference. Voodoo has incorporated some aspects of christianity which is an admirable fuck-you in a way...

What do you mean by "voodoo is some dark shit" if its not real. How can it have such a quality? You possibly mean that it doesn't work and I would agree; I really don't think that the universe works by 'manifesting our will' or something similar. Its just not that simple, that if I think really really hard, the woman I want to fuck will bend over before me. Trust me, I have tried. :\

I have had some experience with occult (Thelemite group). I really enjoyed the meditative aspect of the ritual though I found it quite humorous at times; it was quite similar to Catholocism in its seriousness and majesterial earnestness. I found it had a trance-like nature, with attempts to create a deep, meditative, suggestible state to manifest the will but within the inner world, the only place where the will can manifest. I see symbolic power in externalising power and control, but its only symbolic in my view. I don't think that we can effect the external world, on a macro scale, through thought alone.

Its inside of us that we find power, only there and way more of it then we know. :)
 
There are a lot of Voodoo practices that involve slaughtering animals and drinking blood, etc.
Not to mention placing (violent and non-violent) curses on people.
If that isn't dark, I don't know what the fuck is!

I was genuinely concerned about Ninae... I'm not particularly concerned about the OP, here, particularly since it is more of a curiosity... And the vampire guy is trying to get a reaction out of people. Otherwise why is he posting the same shit about meeting a REAL vampire, off-topic, in numerous threads? I hope, for his sake, that he doesn't really believe in vampires and that he isn't quite as suggestible as his posts indicate...

I've seen people, up close and personal, go crazy on psychedelics and amphetamines (and both).
I've had some very traumatic experiences that have resulted from witnessing people go insane.
My ex-wife jumped out of a window.

Although I don't know the people on this forum as well as I knew my ex-wife, I am - still - genuinely concerned. I'm not just trying to start an argument. If somebody comes on here and says they think they're a potato, I don't think it's wise to encourage that sort of radical departure from reality, because I've seen where it can lead.

...

Like I said, earlier: we don't know what people are on.
You have to be careful when people are on acid.
You can guide them into a bad trip.
That bad trip can lead to suicide.

This is an extreme outcome, sure, but it has to be taken into consideration.
 
^If you are concerned with upsetting the hordes of tripping nutcases on Bluelight, or the psychologically vulnerable, do you think questioning their statements and their mental well being is exacly charitable and likely to actually help them? I don't, so I think you are utilising a large spoon to cause a pot of liquid to revolve in proportion to your agitation of it. :D

Of course, if your motives are what they are, and they probably are, then aren't I an arse?

No, you're not.

I said they should reduce their drug intake.
And, yes, if someone is experiencing drug-induced psychosis I believe it is more helpful to point it out...
 
Oh, I believe voodoo and other similar practices are very real, if there was nothing to it, then i doubt it would have lasted this long, some parts of the country, this shit is deep, has been passed down thru the generations. Id bet they have been involved in and/ or are capable of alot more than most people think.
 
It´s all about believing.. I believe in being positive and strong from inside. With good blessings. Not necessarily religious. From those who love me.
The rest could be fantasies or something pretty awful. It depends on how you see it IMO.
 
Well, I expect all the diverse forms for withcraft that have been practiced work in some way. Otherwise they wouldn't have lasted for millennia as they're not exactly pleasent to perform. I think they're practiced simply because they work and it's not so much whether it works as what it takes for it to work that's the issue.

One human being is quite powerful in acheving spiritual results on its own but if more than one come together then that power is multiplied. Like, spiritism circles to communicate with the dead used to be very popular before we had TV or too much of entertainment. Also, when people organise themselves in covens of 13 I'm sure they can achieve results, depending on what they know (even Jesus and his 12 diciples were built on this model - although I'm sure he really had more than 12 diciples and wasn't the leader of a coven).
 
Yes indeed, everyone can be quite powerful specially if they compile all their energy in a group. However, I believe this is mostly about energy. Real energy coming out of people, specially if they are done in groups, it can do miracles. Positive and negative energy.
I had always believed that if you want to be protected of bad things like that, you would have to create a positive energy around you and live kindly with others, doing good and living with ethics. Love is powerful as well.

We collect what we plant. It could also be all about karma. Different definitions, different beliefs. I think false prophets have always been with us, and they are powerful, just as much as any God.
It´s a difficult issue to argue. I prefer to believe in a superior power, my creator, God, and while I do what I truly believe he protects me and blesses my soul..
Not necessarily to do with religion but in doing good and avoiding bad energy and bad karma if you can..
 
I do believe in "real vampires" i.e. men who put on a costume, make-up, and false teeth and prey on the unsuspecting.

I'm sorry to hear that, you know I like fucking around and amusing myself with my own dumb shit but that business about your wife is pretty fucking terrible....sorry man
 
Bill Schnoebelen gave a crazy lecture about vampires and werewolves.

He usually has some truth to bring to the table, among all his pathological lies and delusions, but this time he got a bit lost. One of his favourite sayings is "Let's go and dazzle some sheep" but I think he under-estimated the sheep and over-estimated himself here (he's getting old).

He is entertaining, though.

I am very sorry to hear all that. Actually, IMO, I don´t think it´s healthy to be talking about that.
Not when it gets to that stage. Even it looks funny or weirdo we are talking about bad things happening to real people.
