Why do practitioners of ceremonial magic prefer to keep their workings secret? Why is the novice entreated to "Keep Silent"?
Today we look at the historical but also modern practical reasons why a magician may or may not choose to keep his/her practice to him-/herself.

A wise teacher of mine referenced the bible (casting pearls before swines), to remind us to use discernment with whom we chose to share wisdom and how much, not just because not everyone is ready for certain wisdom in that moment, but to also help us "keep" the power of the wisdom within ourselves rather than allowing it to dissipate if shared without discernment (my words). Peace all.
I love your word well said! ❤️

@@isaiahernandez4826 really? I did not know that. Cool.
@Tracchofyre Not always true, friend. Loose lips sink ships.
@Tracchofyre these “educated” folks who have power over their environment but mostly have no power over themselves. Anyone can exert force and change upon their surroundings. To think that external power is “true” power is like thinking the waves are the ocean.
It's like blowing out your Birthday candles and keeping your wish a secret an ancient technique reinvented
Incidentally, in Umbanda, we learn to hold an unlit candle between our hands, close our eyes visualizing our wish, blowing the candle while imagining a light from our breath enbedding into it, then lighting the candle and putting it into a holder, and letting it burn out entirely on its own.
Is that the not correct way to do that?
@@daltondamm9551 he is tho tf was that
I have finally accepted after nearly fifty years to never speak aloud your wishes.
Blowing out a candle is frowned upon in magick, as someone else here mentioned, allow the candle to extinguish on its own
As an artist, l found in the early 2000's, that painting my inner desires the objects ended up creating or manifesting that desire.
That's a wonderful way to manifest!
I am the same way👍
since time has passed, may i ask what you painted? i just find these things inspiring as an artist myself
@@lotsofteabutnonetodrink5843 l didnt believe it first. But then l realised, l had painted children, like little kids and mothers. I ended up becoming a father by 2006. Then the penny dropped as they say.
You see every line we make, every mark, has information. That info is your subconscious speaking through the body's kinetyc system.
Remote viewing works the same way. Where the idea is that our bodys share information with the environment, where your daily consciousness has no access, but by tunning in and becoming receptive to impressions, we can become aware of that which is the ether for lack of a better word.
it just happened to me wow
I keep my silence because some knowledge is dangerous in the wrong hands.
@@waynehilbornTSS Their opposing thoughts mean nothing on their own. It's just that YOU may let their thoughts cloud YOUR belief. Slowly poisoning the seeds you have planted. Therein doubt rears it's ugly head.
@@waynehilbornTSS well said
@@waynehilbornTSS .....TRUE "power" ( spiritually ) is AUTHORITY.
"Authority" is given by the "Author".

Freemasons goofy already have some of it
I just wanted to say (as to help spread the understanding of this) I have never heard of couldbusting before these comments. Just tried it and it went away. First try in like 5 minutes it was completely desolved. And I targeted a part of a could, not the whole thing. The rest of it is still happily floating around the sky right now. I love you all thank you for helping me realize my true power
When i keep something close to the chest, it holds more power...which is why i can't talk about what i am manifesting and why i MUST speak out and name my fears. When my fears are spoken, they lose power.
Powerful comment
This is such an insightful comment. I never speak of goals and what I am manifesting for the same reasons you mentioned. But I also never thought about speaking out and naming my fears so that they can lose their power. I'm going to start doing that now. Thank you.
@@diana_prince_1 interesting how narcs and ego types do the complete opposite of this Lol
We are all magicians, knowingly or not.
I agree!!
People have no idea their thoughts create their reality... because they are programmed and spell binded.
You got it dude
Adam James if you haven’t read this already, you might get something from an essay in a highly recommended book of essays on the occult. The essay is entitled “Executable Dreamtime”by Mark Pesce, and explores ideas of language in Magick as well as life; it’s power and inherent flaws. The essay can be found in a compilation of occult essays by various authors entitled “The Book of Lies”, a nod to Crowley and his work if the same name.
@LUCIFER STAR well said...
Whenever planning a trip overseas if I tell everybody about it it completely falls apart and I can't go, had this happen 5 times. But when I keep my mouth shut until a few days before getting on the plane it goes ahead.
Ha! Fascinating! 🙏
Gangstalking
Same here! I have told my son about this because he as well has had things go FUBAR following telling people of his plans . FACT.
Same
Alan Watts, if you tell ur debtors that you are planning to move, they will come and ask for their debt b4 u move.
Telling ppl ur plans opens them up for criticism. Their criticism, mostly negative, causes u to rethink and, in most cases, u end up abandoning the plan
Thoth says this isn't MAGIC, it's WISDOM!
I really needed to hear this. I have learned, experienced, seen and manifested so much in the past 5 years it's unbelievable and really hard to keep it all bottled up. I get excited and wanna share it with any and everyone who asks how am I doing, along with sharing my current endeavors. HUGE, HUGE MISTAKE in sharing your endeavors, even with those whom you love and trust. But I have this savior complex. I want people to experience and acquire the same things I have and more. I wanna let people know that this same power is within everyone. But when you talk to others about it, "your endeavors" the power dissipates. It weakens or change its course. This is why people love to talk to others about their problems because the problems, the feelings that you get somehow seem to fade away, and we don't realize that this power works the same way with what you intensely concentrate on when focusing on your endeavors. KEEP SILENT PLEASE. Silent within yourself and when it comes to sharing with others!!! The bible says you should commune with yourself "the Lord". I noticed that once I become silent and focused, it comes into fruition much easier and quicker. "Concentrated energy"
A true Magician is loyal to the roots of wisdom. Magic always takes care of those who dare disrespecting its wisdom. In open mouths, flies will thrive.
"When performing Acts of Charity, do so in private. Do not let your Right hand know, what your Left hand is doing."- The Bible
Came to mind while listening. Also helped me in explaining why secret groups let lies about them propagate.
That last sentence is why i know theres still good humans in this world
these folks have no use for the holy bible 📖
@@logosfocus the Bible is filled with spiritual knowledge, but most can’t see it. Magicians see it. And many magickal systems utilize its principles and even the power within its words.
I’ve read about egregor energy. It’s like wishful thinking technique. If you say to a person, who doesn’t like you, about your goals, it can dismiss the effort. But if shared with a person, who likes or loves you, it will get energy boost.
thanks. this makes sense why i need to cut ties with everyone in my life. i just recently discovered i have a fake insincere friend still in my circle and an ex who is still in my auric field. i have to completely remove them in my life or they will pollute my efforts
Great video. I've always used the petri-dish analogy. Manifesting a desired outcome is like growing bacteria in a petri dish. Your initial idea, is the strain of bacteria that you introduce to the dish. The energy you put into it, is you feeding it. The analogy covers both the idea of silence, and the idea of waiting patiently for the end result.
Telling others about your working, is like letting them open up the petri dish and touch the experiment - introducing their own competing strains of bacteria in the process, and potentially ruining your experiment.
Similarly, checking your own working too often, or inserting doubts like "Why isn't it working yet?" is like constantly opening your petri dish to check on the growth. You might get away with it sometimes, but each time you open the dish, there's a danger of some foreign bacteria getting in there.
Better to do introduce the idea, give it sufficient energy, and then avoid disturbing it too often.
This is a great analogy
This was perfect.
That’s a great analogy. Thank u for sharing as that made great sense to me!
Very clever
What about working magick with a group, who are all also adding the strength of their aligned will and intent?
I've many times felt bad about keeping silent. Part of me wants to share the excitement I'm feeling about the things I'm creating, but I also have experienced that "expectation" or judgement that comes with revealing my intentions.
Exactly
seeking to make the elements bow to your will...and what will stop you from the desire of making the heavens kneel to your will?
@@jaykong1128 What will stop her is that she simply cant. Unless shes referring to an onlyfans page, thats not magic, thats idiocy and narcissisim,...which I see boat loads of all over this comment section.
@@SPVamped And because IF she COULD, it would suggest a basic corrupt temperament she possess. Not unlike most of us, who put our own personal will above all else.
I told someone about what they think of the occult and he immediately thought i was some evil being i learned its not worth it sharing your ideas and feelings with others also some just cannot grasp the ideas these books "lectures" have to offer. Unfortunately it is frowned upon. I just want to thrive mentally and give life to plants and animals. Id make crops grow year round for hungry people make gardens bloom rain for droughts feed the wildlife yet here i am in this world of concrete and technology.
The last point you mention: It is easier to talk about something than to achieve it...
That made me realize why it's impossible for me to use affirmations or wishlists, or "dream boards." It's too easy for me to make perfect plans and never follow them through. Talking about dreams, even to yourself, distracts from the present.
Thanks so much for pointing that out.
"Most of the time people are freaked out."
So true
The law of Silence/Discretion is why I survived practicing in the 1990's Bible Belt.
Respect! 😅
Or...here's a thought...maybe to NOT get killed by actual Klansmen? But you do you.
@PiZLe I think keeping silent over fear of Klansmen is not the right reason, but what is to be gained from being "loud & proud" as it were? What is your reason for proclaiming that you practice magic? Are you trying to find like minded people, recruit converts, or blow people's minds with how exceptional you are?
@PiZLe 😂 I am in completel agreement with you on the Klan. I'm sure they were fearsome in their day but a more toothless bogey man one would hard pressed to find. I don't practice magic myself and I've always been doubtful of self proclaimed witches, seems to me if one truly were one the results would speak for themselves.
PiZLe are you entirely sure about this? I thought the same for a long time until I had an experience with other individuals present that witnessed the same exact thing. This led me to believe that Theurgy was more than just a form of askesis and a way of tapping into the subconscious mind. These other individuals were completely ignorant on such matters and yet they witnessed the same things as I. I too have read plenty of Jung and manly p hall, Algis Uzdavinys as well as many others; stay away from this shit.
Those who know don't talk.

@@lawrenceeisner3274 actually writing is not talking but hey the more the merrier lol
You have a great day brother.
@@cerberusguardianofthegates7104 like a moth led astray into the hot embrace of flame you broke silence enjoy the hell you unleashed in your life, (to type words out is the same as to write to write is the same as to speak out loud your intents been made very clear to all that be! stupid humanity truly stupid.
@@antlerr I see you are orthodox oder and to call another stupid is shear orthodox, to speak or write a verse from the Tao Te Ching a book written 500 years before Moses wrote his family origins, is not stupid but is showing you that to call one stupid is to know only the stupid and one who knows is not one who speaks but as all this has not been spoken bit written you yourself have placed all the HELL you speak of upon your own head. for in this you definitely know only stupidity and will be dealt will accordingly. the feeling that you wish upon others is about to come directly upon you own self. many thanks for your soul.
Thanks Denis, the other reason I personally feel silence is more important is, whatever your intentions are, people will always misinterpret and worst it's the same as casting pearls before swine. A useless and dangerous endeavour, dangerous in this age not because of being set fire too, but because it taints your personal belief and gives room for doubt to creep in.
A very valid point, Rahul! When we start seeing external validation from other people for our own practice, it's all too easy to start 'adapting' what should be our concern alone, just to please someone who doesn't necessarily know our path or our precise circumstances. 👍
There's no shortage of people that talk shit about their proficiency in every field of endeavor, they want people to know what they accomplished, who they know, where they've been always selling something. The person that really believes they are all that and more couldn't care less who else knows it.
Not worth the drama of dealing with every contender thats wants to brag about taking you down and distract you form your goals
Very much agreed. Giving something sacred to someone who may tarnish it upon recieval
Very true. Bottom line I guess is that if you can't accept that it's lonely work, often beyond the description of words to communicate...then you aren't doing it with a motive that will lead to actual success.
@@FoolishFishBooks This predates Sumer, and the Indus Valley civilization in India, and Pakistan.
“What are you working on?"
“I can’t wait till we find out!"
The Hardest part about teaching people about this, is that they want answers to THEIR journey from another person. Its not hard to understand that I cant read a book I should not open.
To anyone reading this, Take Magic as a metaphysical concept an idea that is given power through your intent and understanding. No one can teach you this, simply due to the fact they will never know what its like to be you. Your perceived struggles, pains, desires and passions. Your connection to the world or the people in your life.
Magic has had a few names, your Path, your Dao, whatever name you give it. Some Draw, others Sing, hum a tune or read the bones and feel the earth. To let their mind run free and let something real take form. The flicker of a candle the sound of the wind, in Whatever way it manifests I hope you have a profound experience like I have had.
The mad and the enlightened surf the same waves
But why you use white rabbat comes blacks hat?
The fact that there are so many hucksters, pretenders, and wanna-bees out there, who really don't know anything, and are simply trying to ride the current neo-pagan trend for self-interest and personal gain, doesn't help either.
Good, solid information is hard to come by... especially when any fool with an internet connection can claim to be a a priest, shaman, or druid.
Add to that the fact that MOST of the information concerning the "old ways" are either outright lost - or Christianised to the point of uselessness - and finding a proper working path is all but impossible.
I have personally given up trying to teach anybody anything, simply because I'm tired of having to wade through all the bullshit and nonsense that most people seem to gravitate to.
...I'm also pretty fed-up with people coming at me either wanting a love spell or curse, then turning around and wanting to undo it when it works, but doesn't come with the results they delusionally believed it would.
Actions - and spells - come with consequences, kiddies. So be damned sure you're prepared for 'em before you wade off into something you know next to nothing about.
@@guarddog318 so who would u say has been the most infuriating "pretender" in your opinion and why?
@@KoffeeKiwi - That would be a Wiccan girl who's name I don't remember, claiming that Wicca was ancient, and NOT invented in the 20th century.
She was a real piece of work.
There have been quite a few others though, most running a business selling candles, herbs, and other items.
By and large, if the person is selling something, or has self-published a book they're selling on Amazon... you're better off to just keep on walking and pass 'em by.
Oh, and for what it's worth, I've never taken so much as one copper penny for anything I've taught, or any work I've done for anyone else. Mostly because I don't ever want to end up doing what I do for money, or have it turn into a "job".
And yes, I do have a channel here on UA-cam, but it's quite sadly neglected these days, since covid and the circumstances of life have distracted me from adding anything else to it.
Maybe one of these days I'll get back to it.
Excellent: "Information is NOT experience." ;) very glad you highlighted that.
Well I guess this shuts down my rant on why we need to have experiences . I always said that experience is the worst teacher and would question why I have to have an experience. Smh. I have to change my mind about that word experience
@@joshuaattractsmoney I think you're being facetious, am I wrong? Or did you actually have a rant on "experience is the worst teacher"? I'm truly curious bro :) (PS I don't know what Smh means). It is indeed since before Eleusis the secret to all magic that the Mystery or "Mysterion" IS always and ONLY the experience. Which is why reading a ritual in a book or imagining it lightly in your head will never replace the physical and sonic power of gesture and volume. Of course, some say that this changes in the transition from the Lesser Mysteries (Lesser Circulation) to the Greater. Who knows.... But I do trust my experiences more than good ol' book learnin'. Not that I'm not obsessed by beautiful books eh :P
The difference between knowledge and wisdom.
@Swamp Witch excellent point in fact! nice. hmmm
@@FraterRC pathworking and shamanic practices can be quite potent if more so than some traditional approaches tho for practical experience and alchemy

because they begin judging your thoughts which affects your own energy, those judgements have weight on them and when they transfer it to you it bears burden

Are you a beleiver in magick? I'm new to this so just curious
The book “Self-Initiation for Self-Rulers” would be a great read for anyone intrigued by these ideas.

I found the first 11 pages.. But the rest of the pdf was empty?
Anyone has the complete PDF?
I just started reading :Golden Dawn Magic. A complete guide to the High magical Arts

Your recommendation will be next. Thanks.
The Thoth deck hahaha I was a person that was excited to share everything as so much was happening at once. I then had an intense out of body meditation where I was told by someone close to Thoth (I can’t say who) the important of secrecy. And that if I need to take this path I have to remember that the only way to make it “sacred” is through “secrecy”. Crazy how much powerful I’m becoming since and how much more in love with these teaching I am since it’s something FOR ME only. Everyone’s initiation is different, don’t take anyone’s rules or path on what needs to be done for YOU to walk that path. If it’s meat for you, it will find you. Forcing initiation is an ego trap hence why we have a lot of egotistical teachers.
"Everyone’s initiation is different, don’t take anyone’s rules or path on what needs to be done for YOU to walk that path."

@@Nick_Lamb Because of their evil nature. A religion that does not tell you what they are actually doing is not one you should follow.
Many Native American tribes believed in "dreams of power", and held that such dreams must not be shared with others for at least a certain length of time, at minimum. To share it with others somehow dilutes its power. Their shamans believe that such dreams, and the power they bring to the Dreamer, must be allowed to "cook" for the full benefit to be obtained. Failure to do so may result in a loss of power, and even some kind of "spiritual backlash" or a turn of bad luck (a "magickal backfire", from a Western perspective).
What we call "magick" in the West mostly boils down to an attempt to dream reality in a desired direction whilst awake, by breaking down the partition between the waking and the unconscious mind. Same principle, no?
My Mexican culture yes, we look into a black obsidian mirror and see unto ourselves creat our dreams at night and the moon is out and we dream and it will become vivid and our creation will start forming Tezcatlipoca the smoking mirror.
Nice dude. Also important is how, and upon what, do you deploy your power.
Absolutely
@@moo3992 definitely.
@@MrPurepecha87 very interesting. I'll be sure to check that out!
The similarities between the magick of traditional/ancient cultures are as interesting as their differences.
It is important to never talk about your practices to anyone, because you open yourself up to other peoples scrutiny.
I learned that sharing some secrets is like giving someone your "true name" you lose your power
This makes total sense, I know some of my manifestation have been affected by others opinions on my goals.
not everyone is supposed to learn it, it's not being selfish or "gatekeeping". but outside influence especially by people who see the world as is with very poor imagination they will dim YOUR light so while your failed attempts at giving them knowledge of freeing themselves doesn't even help them it breaks YOU in the process and cages you just like the rest of them. people don't want different. very few people do; some don't understand it and it's not your job by any means to explain anything.

@@firestone8549 i came across all the teachings when i was around 19, i’m 26 now which i believe is still young and i’ve never been hungrier to learn even more.

@@SuperVintageFlowers Magic; It's a crime to keep it secret especially when also using it systemically against others. Controlling their minds, destroying their cultures and ways of life. It's a crime and not as innocent as you are describing, just wait and watch when people figure this out and come for revenge.
Silence or secrecy I've recently learned due to things not happening as planned. For those who can understand....we were created to be hated so chose what you say and to whom wisely. Misery loves company. We are too valuable to give our energy away. Stay blessed everyone!
So appropriate 👍
learnin this the hard way. i was probably wanting to do it for others bc this is how i arrived here by sharing knowledge. but ill be more discreet now
I have seen Magick as a way of self transformation. The great work as it pertains to individuation. I’ve learned from stoicism that the outer world is out of our control so I focus only on the inner. Paradoxically once you realize that outcomes are in the hand of fate and you can only truly control your reaction to it. Suddenly you have power over the situation. Great video as always. Thank you for the work that you do
Well said.
The outer world is out of control because everyone ALLOWS AND ACCEPS IT AND DOES NOTHING ABOUT IT even the large amount of people who can dramatically change things will never believe that is a huge possibility for billions of people in similar situations
This is an excellent discussion about the importance of silence. Since you've requested comments about other reasons for why silence is important, I'd like to mention one that to me seems to actually be one of the most important reasons for silence. Keeping silent requires discipline and developing that discipline goes hand in hand with building the discipline required for study, for ritual practice, for silencing the mind, and for keeping one's ego in check. I also believe that breaking silence take our internal energy and power and releases it into the world. Keeping silence builds discipline but it also contains that power and energy within ourselves so that we can direct it to our magickal practice, making it that much more powerful.
Along these lines, I'm speculating that sharing a magical project with another person could change things at the sub-atomic level thereby changing the outcome probability for better or worse.
When I was young, there was a popular children's character called Tom the cabin boy (in Captain Pugwash). He was the most resourceful but unacclaimed character, and whenever he accomplished something amazing, the narrator always said, Tom the cabin boy smiled and said nothing. Never mind magick, it's just good advice in general. YOU know who you are. That's all.
Fantastic video. Another thing to note: silence helps to keep something sacred. So if a secret (such as the ceremonies and symbols of a magical lodge) is kept secret, it becomes sacred if it is held in that light by the members. Even if the symbol or ceremony has no significance to the world at large, secrecy turns it into a sort of sacred secret or tradition that holds a level of energy because of that sacred energy that is maintained.
I am having so much fun with your channel. It's like talking to a friend who is into the same stuff and you don't feel like you're pushing anything or being too weird. Thank you 🙏🏼
Bingo. I feel like I can be free to speak out my mind here and be able to have a discussion with respect and like-minded people.
I am sooo excited I found ur channel. I'm learning this atm. With so much sadness, that even ppl I thought I could trust in sacred spaces...my higher self says, pull bk and dont reach out dont share. Sad. Painful. But my devotion deepens and I feel like I'm getting weeks or months of connection. As my engergy is less and less spilt. Still. It can feel lonely.
Yep. Me and my mom (who study many types of metaphysical and spiritual practices) will be making a regular appointment to listen here. Excellent information.
That's me
This feels like what the government are/was hording and monopolizing in their libraries to enslave humanity?
I think that rule of silence is golden. Every person has their own journey that's only for them. If everyone had all the keys to every door would they open them or resist the temptation? I am proud to be a witch but don't tell people I work with my practice nor do I open my books up to others. The journey to acquire any magical knowledge is a lifetime and what you learned should stay with you only. I totally get the lower self reminded the higher to eat,take a bath,ect. And silencing the mind so demons do not enter is a must! I learned that one the hard way. I found this video to be exactly what I needed today. I really enjoyed it thank you.
I have a question does magick go against God? I recently have learned a trick and i am not sure if its psychosis or what but others have experienced with me. It could be used for good if i could figure it out but not exactly sure should i quit experimenting and leave it alone or keep trying? I have had these dreams since i was a kid and i don't want to see them evolve into reality but also i feel like i have been given away out or a path that doesn't involve that trick what do you think?
@@kennymcgowan3337 It's against God, what it's against you and others.
People who think of magic as spell casting are worse off than those who know nothing. Find love. Find God. Find yourself. The material cannot bring happiness. I wish you the best in escaping the traps of modern occultism.
Silencing the mind is a right bugger! When people have asked me whats the first step to x y or z and I reply "to still your mind" and they say ,right right got that whats next....I just sigh.
There is also another reason to keep silent. To keep your time to yourself... We need lots of time to study the ritual, to read the books, to do the necessary inner work, to commune with the other beings etc... If you start to talk about this you will quickly find out how this eats away from the time you put to your Magick. It's fine to talk about it with genuinely interested people occasionally; but otherwise you simply don't have the time or the inclination to do so. Thanks for this good reminder, it is very much appreciated 🌟🌹 Sub Rosa

Thank you I’ve always felt like my breaking silence was hurting me but I felt like keeping silence was my ego wanting power, but my reason for certain things, is always to help the greater good. Thank you very much for this😊✨ just wait and see
True. Every one is not your friend. Some people are assigned to you by hidden enemies...
Could that mean family to
Good one. Yup. Greatest teachers. Spidey senses.
@@meganlindseycompton4900 yes. I've dealt with a lot of negative opposing frequencies from plenty of close friends and family. I looked at it as test of my conviction and devotion to my path. Now I don't bother anymore. It's peaceful 😁
Megan Compton Yes, especially if they are malignant narcissists.

Keeping silence is also about knowing when to talk and when not to.
Using your energy to its utmost and not sabotaging ourselves through revealing what is before it takes form, in a sense “don’t talk of worlds that never where” or in other words say what you mean and mean what you say.
We may say something yet not have the intentions to truly do it and by talking we assume the pride of achieving without actually achieving.
Know what it is that needs to be said and say it at the right time, wisdom is the profound spoken simply and conveyed without confusion.
Agrippa's Occult Philosophy: Natural Magic
by Cornelius Agrippa
This has been food for thought, because when I was permitted to be initiated to the inner mysteries, I could change the world by using my voice to speak truth with full disclosure and transparency....been stuck in here since at least 2017, so y'all on your own, guys.
Make so much sense...- keeping your plains to yourself without sharing your goals with others!!! Grow in silence!! Let your actions and manifestations speak for you!!!
Struggling with this and it showed up. Whoa!
Regarding the quantum mechanics mention, yes! I tried to tell some people on reddit they shouldn't tell everyone what their desired manifestations were because then strangers would all be throwing their energy (which may be highly contrasting or negative) at their manifestation, which could shake or delay it if they weren't 💯 solid on what they were drawing. It was the most down voted comment I've ever posted. 😂😂
"If anybody asks you what you're working on, you can say just wait and see."
That is an ideal response.
You got right to the heart of it with “...information is not experience...”. This is SUCH a wise analysis of not just the topic of your video here, but the entire cultural dissonance we’ve all experienced with the rising of The Internet and quickened by smart phones.
Edit: “...decoration of the ego...” another gem! So good! And delivered in a way that’s easy to receive. So great!
Ah, yes, well spotted 😁 So many experiences ruined by the expectations of what that experience should (probably) be - love, art, food, divine encounter, you name it... Thanks for the thoughtful contribution as always, Timothy!
I very much agree.
In th mystery schools the experience was what was sought after, with sciences that is removed.
Not sure how I ended up here, but I'll leave a comment: I was told to keep it silent (although I kinda blew it a bit with my animated series). Still, another reason to keep silence that you might not have talked much about is to not break the illusion for people who need the illusion.
I think one reason why this needs to be hidden from the mainstream is because for the majority of humans in this planet, this would simply be a distraction to their true purpose in this life. Some people need to believe the illusion is real to have the experiences they need. Can you see why on the movie Matrix, telling everyone about the Matrix would be a terrible idea?
There are many examples, but to give one, imagine that you came to this life looking for an experience where you need to mistakenly think your loved one is dead, so you can test how you will react to that fake news. Will you kill yourself or learn to overcome the feeling of hopelessness? But then, through magic you learn that your loved one is actually alive, completely blowing away the test that you had planned for yourself to learn about yourself.
To avoid breaking the illusion, some spirits shut down their ears completely to the occult knowledge. They might even get physically aggressive if you try to tell them something, and it's their right to preserve that illusion. We need to respect that. The knowledge is there only for those who seek with their hearts.
This is the best comment of the lot.
You were told to keep it silent by an agent. . “Telling someone about the matrix” wouldn’t be a bad thing.. especially when neo and his closest were so close to braking it, as so many of our groups are right now. At some point, it can speed up the process . Those who don’t want to hear, can’t hear it, or brake down because of it. That’s just on them. Not everybody can be saved. The world is heading towards a mass awakening and you’re going to be losing a lot of close ones.. the world is cleansing itself from those who are too low a frequency.
You make a great point but i still wish that this knowledge would be more widespread bc at the moment its a taboo. I think a lot of people could be defensive about it as it distorts the subjective reality when you find out about it
I can't believe this is the most amazing comment I've ever read! I found what I need for my life to get better by respecting peoples believe system like you said "The knowledge is there only for those who seek with their hearts" And if we know that knowledge lets be the example showing the good life to them and showing how special they are! Much Love Brother!
This is what I have recently come to accept. I've only been consistently practicing and working with the occult and this is one thing I have come to realize and accept. Some ppl need the illusion to be real...to live.
It's like how my parents are Jehovah's Witnesses, and even though I tried to present them with proof and facts...even in their own Bible...they seem to freak out over the concept that all organized religion itself is a scam. I've accepted that they will never accept that...so I stay silent.
It actually keeps me more calm and at peace inside.
The biggest secret is about spirituality. Everything we have become to know and understand about spirituality is a fallacy.
Simply look at what’s dominating spirituality.
Tesla knew this. He gave us hints. He been quoted saying; and I’m paraphrasing of course: to discover the secrets to the universe understand 369.
3 includes:the 1st 3 dimensions and part of the fourth. 3 also represents the consciousness or conscious plain.
6 includes: 4th, 5th, 6th of course and part of 7. This also represents the subconscious.
9 includes all dimensions (the power of 9). This represents the collective consciousness.
If you control what information that is placed into the conscious realms, you can control the world. Create a hive mind. Kind of what you see today as we hold our phones in our hands and stare at the world created for us by a handful of people on the planet.
Control the narrative, control the world.
Jeff Caplan I am deep in the deep state. The Sucken place and the feeling is ineffable the closet thing I can’t say it feels like is a brain self destructive sequence.
shh . .
@@slime6all484 What is your definition of 'deep state'?
I see it as being emblematic of individuals who are a part/cog of/in the system but who claim to be apart from it (eg. a human) without genuinely understanding what it means to be a human or to be able to step outside of your 'self'.
That's the only way narratives can't affect you and the primary way to do a job in a non-political fashion (by removing any aspect of 'identity'.)
Wrong. The unconscious is represented by the number 4.
The more enlightened I am the more I want to share
@Starr R. Stoddard you're definitely right. Thank you
I keep mostly silent about my practice. The main reason is that while I know what it is I do and believe, it is very difficult to put into words for uninitiated folk, even for people just getting into the occult and know a little already. So much so that I usually preface each discussion about my practice with the phrase, "How much time do you have?" or "How interested are you in hearing me ramble?"
" You don't have to walk me through the whole forest, just beat around a single bush. "
.. sorry .. even a single bush is still around the size of a small tree to climb.
For everyone that's says they don't tell people what they do or practice... Almost everyone commenting has just divulged enough to expose themselves to the masses...
So as an occultist does one prefer to not hang around other occultist due to the oath of silence? Or do occultist actually hang around together?
@@galvezledoux154 Codes of silence in the modern occult are typically only used in specific circumstances. But yes, occultists most definitely hang out and associate with each other, online and in public. You can go to almost any coffee shop in Brooklyn and find at least one person willing to discuss esoteric subjects with you.
This is the first video of yours I've ever seen, and I gained an incredible amount of personally valuable information from it. Thank you.
You have gained yourself a member, my friend.
Welcome aboard! And thank you so much for the support! :) I'm sorry it's taken me so long to find your kind words, I also hope you find other videos that you find useful on the channel ;)
Protecting oneself from having to justify, explain, validate, rationalise who they are saves much frustration and disapproval.
"When the student is ready, the teacher appears". I don't think that much effort to protect the secrets are required necessarily because most people intentionally or unintentionally (depending on how you look at it) ignore or don't understand the information being provided to them. In these circumstances, ignorance is bliss. Usually the Rule of Three takes care of the ill doers who want to abuse such information.
Rule of three?

You also need you take into consideration that revelation is either, mostly true (which I highly doubt), or it's around 50/50 (maybe?), or that is mostly false (what I subscribe to)... So it would behoove you to do your research and never just take anyone's or anything's knowledge at face value, because in doing so it becomes HIGHLY POSSIBLE/PROBABLE that you get caught with your pants down.
We're currently in quite the predicament for nothing other than that issue... And it's gone on for so friggin long that you won't/don't and, will not or possibly ever... Even realize something of major discrepancy, that they could flaunt around, every single day right in your face yet be COMPLETELY fooled... And ultimately lead to being exploited or even extinguished.
That's I high price to pay, for not taking just a little time and a little effort, to go into life with better understanding and overall better outcome, for your path.
God Bless and Godspeed

Wow. Thank you for this. I’ve had a general sense that silence is useful to the practice, and not for anything sinister, but never truly developed the reasoning and have not been able to internalize it. Yet, everything you share in this video resonates with my own experience and clarifies my thinking on the topic so greatly. I really appreciate you putting this together.
I learned this all too well being persecuted in highschool, even sent to jail because people were afraid of me in a heavily Baptist area. To this day, even tho I'm covered in Runes, my answer to "what are those" is always short, and very layman oriented, unless you've known me for literally years, and also practice. Thank you for this video.
New subscriber here!
I came across this video today and after a very well timed coincidence of a personal lifetime revelation with my esoteric practices, i found your video through a youtube recommendation and i had so many affirmations answered.
I appreciate the work you do. 🌟
Truly excellent points. I was wondering about it lately and you've helped me find clarity about this issue.
Such a wonderful and very thorough analysis of the fourth word of the Magus. Your endorphins reason makes perfect sense and has made me realize what could be the main reason why people gossip! The main reason that I have attributed to abiding to the fourth word "to be silent" is because I do not want to put the energy of the magical work into dissipation, which would happen by people talking about it, therefore, the energy stays directed and focused on its course to fulfill the will. Thank you for a very lucid and thought provoking video!
I have heard - and we might say experienced - that the energetic climate is such that more complex rituals and paraphenelia are no longer required (if they ever were. I suspected expensive items were listed as required for demon invocation to keep the serf class outside of magick).
Cool discussion. The magician that stays quiet or at least a low profile maintains peace of mind and life. Thanks.
... really too, your just wasting your energy if you just display it indiscriminately...
In the early stages you don't want a doubting skeptic to poop on your belief and instill doubt.
So I've spent the better part of a week, typically before bed but lately just during the day when I have time, watching your videos. I just want to thank you for producing what I have to say is the most easy to understand explanations for things regarding magic and mysticism that I've ever encountered. The way you describe things has led me to have quite lot of "oh wow!" moments as so much has finally been made clear to me that I just didn't understand at all before. I really appreciate your method of teaching this material. I've understood there to be some sort of power in willing or "praying" for a future probability to come into into reality for a long time as I too have had some experiences in life that I felt like came from my energy put out into the ether. It's only been through your videos though that I see so much logic in some of the rituals and meditation in putting the mind in a better state to transmit/receive that flow. I'm considering finally attempting to put into practice some of what I've seen here and not just being a casual observer anymore.
Hi Robb, thank you so much for your kind words! Comments like yours make this whole endeavour worthwhile, so thank you from the bottom of my heart 😊🙏
Great video! Taking me back to my teenage years when I started studying this stuff. Happened to find out my mom studied it at one point & had some helpful books to lend me.
I'm so grateful. Thank you.
I can't believe it! You were on my feed. Algorithms must be working for us now. Good sign.
This is definitely something I have wondered about for along time also I apprecciate how you explained how talking about plans can be harmful, I never knew about the endorphin aspect of it.
Such a beautiful explanation. So simple. Thank you for your observations and willingness to share
As always, timely information. Particularly about keeping the mind silent.
Interesting that Alan Moore's Promethea, which was published in the year 2000, includes that poem mentioning the Aeon coming in the next 20 years, the end of which is... now.
M S Will do!!! Thanks!

Thank you for sharing! This answered a question I had in my meditation this morning. Crazy how things work! Excellent video.
Beautiful video! thank you so much! I needed to hear this 😊💜💫🙏
Thank you so much for this review. It contains brilliant and pivotal information and comes at the right time in my journey. You had responded to a comment that I made on another video and directed me to the Esoteric Saturday series. This video answers most of my question but also points to a path of uncovering the rest. I am so happy to find someone who can speak clearly and frankly about this topic as the answers are often hidden by the silence. However the silence is equally important to the process and self discovery and personal experience rise as the ultimate answer pointing the way.
That was very useful and helpful! Thank you, Foolish Fish! Love and appreciation to all! Please continue to stay safe and healthy!
I feel so satisfied when listening to your knowledge and teachings. I’d like to have Esoteric Saturdays near by me with people. Life would be so much more deep and exciting
It’s all “learning and higher knowledge that others don’t know about” until you get to sacrificing others and yourself.
Timothy Vincent lol that part
Your Videos are always so sacred. I found a Gem finding your channel. This video reopened my eyes once more, as I am one who would share intricate details of my future.
Always providing us with useful information, thank you. It feels reassuring to hear some thoughts that I had "organically"/intuitively also occurring in other people's minds :)
You covered most aspects very well however you did miss out on explaining Resistance. They can put somebody into a state of apathy. It's best explained in the book THE WAR OF ART. . .by Steven Pressfield
Basically one aspect of this is when people know you're involved in any kind of creative work. They actively seek to distract to discourage. Indeed it seems to be almost a spiritual force of entropy and apathy. To block and stop the would be creator.
I have experienced exactly what you’re referring to!!!!
Odd. I was feeling so motivated and creative just yesterday, but now I feel "dim"... Like there's a fog in my brain where it used to function clearly. I've changed nothing much from my routine so I'm wondering what happened to me. Like maybe I'm just being hormonal- even though I had a good enough diet and fast this week...
And then I see this comment. Maybe apathy is a better word to describe it- what I feel. I have enough energy but it's my mind that feels.....??.. Or like I just couldn't care less about what I thought the other day. So odd. But I still have my thoughts, I just can't care much to put anything into action. Huh maybe I'm looking too deep into this and reading between lines that aren't there?
Have fought it all my life!
@@weneedmoreconsideratepeopl4006 maybe not changing is the key, you came here for contrast and change, and you have the power to create all the change you could ever witness

Discovery is a form of listening
There are no secrets, the information is out there already
Thank you! I needed this comment
Everytime I think about learning more about all of this, I get overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information and opposing views and ideas. And I just end up thinking, "why bother?"
There is a lot out there, but isn’t that the same with different professions or even subsets of a single profession. If you only thought about looking into it out of curiosity then it is best to stay away. Because there is no point in just reading and trying to comprehend the information because it will make no sense to your logical mind. I believe unless you are doing the work along with the study then you are right “why bother”. If you want a quick crash course of some of the stuff you could always YT Uncle bearheart. He has some older videos explaining from his experience what and how some of this stuff works. But I will warn you he has a much more aggressive personality may turn off a lot of people. Lol 😂
CosmicNexus and Lion Heart are the YT channels that currently carry some of his videos. But again you should search uncle bearheart to find those channels easier.
Promethea is like a light primer on Western Occult in a graphic novel form. I loved it.
To know, to dare, to will, to keep silence
Well, thank you so much for sharing this excellent appreciation of awareness, especially in regards to silence.
Kenneth Grant defines Magick as "energy tending to change" in Nightside of Eden. Our Universe is literally energy changing ergo...everything is Magick, diverse manifestations of Energy.
Best Video on Silence I ever saw. Thanks so much. Especially the last aspect you mentioned described me accurately. I from now on will think twice before speaking.
Interesting 🧐 but also silence protects others. These overall patterns are also indicative of what exists outside the universe-how heaven works. It’s not just “orthodoxy” vs magic. There is no such separation-no matter how you interpret it. There are things if known without the necessary strength and background can destroy. I loved this video and it was very helpful-especially the part about the endorphins released. Thanks so much for this. So frickin interesting it’s unreal. ❤️👍🏻
I truly, wholeheartedly appreciate this video so very much and grateful to come across your channel. New subscriber, I look forward to watching your other videos. Thank you so much, Blessings

Never use the AEIOU in sigils. Grant explains this in his demonstration. The vowls make it void. So if you have used vowls without success, take them out and see how you get on
"Don't let the right hand know what the left hand is doing"
The finger to the lips of child deities symbolized youth and the fact that from a cognitive development perspective, children are more open to absorbing and understanding symbols and meaning than older folks whose minds are less open or willing to accept new things. This is why it is much easier for children to learn languages at an early age. Also, children often put their fingers in their mouths and this does't imply anything about silence or secrecy. So from an esoteric perspective the idea is that an open mind like a child is the only way to be able to truly grasp deeper meanings associated with various symbols. This goes along with the whole development and evolution of writing from picture based symbols thousands of years prior to Greece. And as such it is an evolution in cognitive function and understanding in being able to ascribe meaning first to symbols, then to sounds and then to letters which are simplified symbols for alphabets and grammar which have less layers of meaning than the old pictograph writing systems.
The Greeks then used that as the basis for Harpocrates as part of the Hermetic system which was an aberration of the ancient system in the Nile Valley as writing was no no longer based on pictograms and thus layers of meaning were no longer obvious in religious and cultural contexts. Whereas in the ancient Nile Valley everyone understood that there was "magic" in everything and this was part of the cosmology and the symbolism of the writing and the purpose of rituals was to evoke that. Whereas in the GrecoRoman era there came the rise in orthodoxy in religion and ritual which strictly limited the expressions of "magic" in ritual and cultural expression, especially into the Medieval era. Hence, secrecy became a thing. Hence what was a normal part of everyday "magic" and ritual invoking the "gods" became an underground practice and a lot of other stuff got grafted onto it over time.
I like the statement of the mind needs to be quiet, when told to be quiet. So true. Except I think that the mind is the thinking apparatus for the spirit. The mind is the spirit form of the brain, which knows whatever your soul knows. So the brain is really what needs to be controlled BY the mind. Your mind has the higher ideals that you know are best for you, the brain is the thing in survival mode and needs to be controlled. Thanks for sharing this incredible information.

My instinct told me this when I first began practicing - have shared a bit with a close friend who has a love of occult history without going into much detail, but afterwards felt as if I shouldn’t have for the exact reason you described! I’ve spoken about it in therapy, too, but just on how I feel much lighter in my day to day; and of course had to thank my longtime therapist for starting me on meditation/mindfulness practice about 2 years ago, which has thankfully lead me here! Moving forward I’ll keep these things in mind. Always enjoy the videos - keep them coming!
Excellent work, handled as carefully as it is naturally. Thank you.
