[QUOTE="Schwarzwald, post: 76855, member: 544"] Did I use the books? If you mean practicing trials or crafting talismans, no. My interest was strictly philosophical and born of curiosity. I’ve known 'witches' (Portland hoes) in the past who dedicated their lives to that kind of ritual work, and while it's an interesting way to frame a lifestyle, I never claimed those texts held literal power. Frankly, those I've met who do claim that power often exhibit schizotypal behavior. The 'power' in these books is abstract. If you want to dive into the actual metaphysics of reality, I’m down for that. But if you're looking for hidden dark powers, you’re looking in the wrong place. Going down that rabbit hole without a solid mental foundation, especially if you're consuming it all as literal fact, is a fast track to ending up mentally broken.
