Occult Dogma and Why You Can Dismiss It

Those of you who have been reading here for some time will know that I have - unlike the great Christopher Lee, who actually had a reputation as an occultist and of course certainly had the celebrity profile on account of the body of his movie work to be thought of as one - a very large and extensive collection of books on the occult. Lee didn't have one although people assumed he must have had one.

Though let me put it another way however - my collection is not just any old collection of occult titles: I really do possess occult works of great note and even of historical significance.

I am not an occultist in the sense of practicing anything that may be considered occult in the usual or traditional sense though I'm starting to realize that this may - well, in fact would - not be looked upon in quite the same way by others. You see I suppose what other people at large are not doing, will likely be viewed by them therefore as 'unorthodox' and 'dark!' LOL

Enter by the narrow door, though, isn't it said?

There is dogma in this world almost everywhere you happen to look - and yet you can distinguish a master chef from all others by what he doesn't do compared to the rest. Now I'm not going to tell you (to be distracted here for a few moments) the sin of many cooks - because there will be many who will want to dispute it with me, but I have never seen a truly great cook use certain ingredients that are regularly listed in recipes, even by 'experts...' It is not the syrup of, but it has got something to do with corn... Mmn. No, never in the hands of a great master. NEVER. So much then for what you have considered 'French haute cuisine' - if you care to believe me. Which you do not have to.

It is of course nowadays also absolutely commonplace to speak about the dogma of churches and of various common religious beliefs and belief systems. And of course, so utterly easy to decry it or them. They make huge popular movies about it and suddenly every man and his dog is an expert in ancient Sumerian!!

And today, because of the internet, there is just so much written and expressed about the occult, various dark or sinister secret societies and covens and all kind of related things... How much of it is dogma in the same way that a lot of religious teachings are today just dogma with no genuine factual original basis anymore?

Allow me to present to you a picture and then ask you to apply the standard 'as above so below' concept - or at least consider what is in the picture as a metaphor - and then tell me what you think an apex evil predator is more like; which one of these two things in the pic it is more like.

Some people are diligent in the way they acquire money and material wealth, and power over other people - they work constantly away at these pursuits. And then they get, money and wealth and power.

...And then, as if seemingly out of nowhere, another creature comes onto the scene.

Tell me, which one is more sinister - the goat or the dragon?
