Like Gaiman's story about the Cat Who Fought the Devil "It was not a pagan god misunderstood by Christian prejudice, it was not Milton's Lucifer caught in tragic noble rebellion It was the Devil"https://twitter.com/arthur_affect/status/1291631028700766209?s=19 …

Anyway what you were talking about with power being something external you have to appease probably applies more to the Acanthus Like all of these Paths are still arguably New Age shit about having your head up your own ass, Warlocks in particular

You can never prove for a fact the Supernal Realms actually exist and aren't your own psychodrama shaped by cultural preconceptions etc But man is it a wild contrast with the sheer hippy-dippy optimism of MtAsc and its paradigms and "Just believe in yourself"

The MtAw paths are all kind of about believing in yourself, the messiah-complex hubris of the Obrimos especially But for a Warlock believing in yourself means believing that the world hates you and is against you and wants you to suffer

Feeling threatened and afraid and angry is the power of a Warlock Your power is in not being okay If you get therapy and start to feel better ("disrupt universalizing and catastrophizing patterns") your power starts to go away

You can't fight what you can't see If you stop seeing demons all around you, if you escape Carl Sagan's "demon-haunted world", then how can you oppose them And if you aren't there to oppose them... who knows what they might do

Man a lot of classic
@Nymphomachy posts are Mastigos as fuck Like the idea of goetic summoning being to try to change yourself by reaching into yourself to find the aspects you don't want and casting them out, at the cost of manifesting them into the world as monsters2 replies 0 retweets 5 likes -

(Which is very similar to old Wraith's idea of the Ritual of Severance You can really tell the Mastigos were invented by Wraith fans, Pandemonium is very similar in concept to the Labyrinth that sucks in a Wraith undergoing Harrowing)

Is a goetic demon created when you do this, do they actually "split off", or were they always inside you tormenting you and this is you finally breaking free Who knows and who cares For a Warlock everything is illusion and deception, other than one's own will
