Introduction to alt.magick.seriousA scholarly introduction to alt.magick.serious, a Usenet newsgroup dedicated to rigorous, technical discussion of Western magical theory and practice — the more exacting counterpart to alt.magick's broader commons.On Sorcery — A Practitioner's CodeSteve Kane's spare, unflinching manifesto of practical sorcery, posted to alt.magick.serious in 2004: nine precepts for the magical life, including the truth-telling requirement, complete responsibility, the rejection of power-seeking, and instructions for navigating madness with dignity.The Aeon of the Double Wanded One — Thelema, Zen, and the Middle WayJason (Rehru Gazib) synthesizes Thelemic cosmology with Zen Buddhism and Daoism, arguing that Crowley's prophesied Aeon of the Double Wanded One corresponds to the Voidist School's integration of all soul states — and that Thelema's philosophical core is a redaction of Egyptian mysteries, Kabbalah, and Ch'an Buddhism.The Bavarian Illuminati — A Historical FAQA scholarly overview of the historical Bavarian Illuminati (1776–1784), compiled from Coil's Masonic Encyclopedia (1961) and German academic sources — covering Adam Weishaupt, Baron von Knigge, the Order's structure, its suppression, and the subsequent conspiracy theories that grew in its wake.The Book of the Law II,76 — Solution to the Riddle ALFrater Nothing's qabalistic exegesis of the famous cipher in Liber AL vel Legis II:76, decoding its numbers and letter-groups through Hebrew Gematria and Crowley's Sepher Sephiroth to arrive at a coherent reading: Father, binding, concealment, the A∴A∴, and 'the glad word reversed is AL.'The Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram — A Kabbalistic Practitioner's GuideCeremonial magician Kakkab explains the Kabbalistic structure underlying the LBRP: the assignment of Divine Names, Archangels, and Elements to the four cardinal directions, and practical methods for projecting light, tracing pentagrams, and vibrating Divine Names.
