I think what I might be recalling was specifically an issue with cloudflare in terms of caching.
Anyways ya I don't know much about it but fair point if I understood it correctly. I've been dealing with my own stuff the last 2 years so kind of not been active here but it would be great to see this place flourish again and sometimes I feel like trying to help out but it's like I don't know where to start. Maybe that would be a good step to make people new to the site feel safer, internet security wise.

How long is my IP stored for?

Why don't you use HTTPS?

How often have you/do you share IP Addresses with third parties?

Thanks

I talked with Onyx about this a couple years ago and I vaguely recall he had some specific reason having to do with caching issues or something messing up the forums.

On my site I personally use cloudflare, there's a free and paid version. Really honestly https DOES cost money and that's another consideration, technically the way I use https on my own site is 'shared' as I understand it.

As far as I am aware, no IP addresses are ever shared with 3rd parties, I mean, we don't have ads even.

In the past I offered to help modernize the site and contribute but the systems we looked at were closed source which presents it's own host of problems, and there isn't a lot of open source software that fitted the site's needs that was modern and there wasn't really a budget/skillset to build things from scratch or pay someone to overhaul one that was "close enough". Unfortunately forum boards are, in terms of software, a niche market now in many ways.

Lilith is a scubbus and vampire.
Is it really dangerous to summon her and with her?
And sometimes she chooses someone herself  too. why?

Um.


Technically no on both. She birthed succubi and incubi but she isn't one herself.


Dangerous? Imo yes.


She chooses those of her, if that makes sense.

Don't confuse being against states as against society. An anarchist would argue that states, nations, ect are inherently hostile to societies.

Ya I just noticed that too on the first page, the link goes to a defunct site. IIRC a member who left operated that arm right?

General LHP Discussion / explaining your system to new people

« on: July 26, 2020, 11:11:40 am »

This actually came about as a joke I posted on facebook, after drawing something.

Jokes aside, I always felt it is easier for someone who can identify with a well known system adopted by many to kind of, for those with contextual knowledge, to get a ballpark of where you are coming from at least. If you are in a conversation that gets on the topic of occultism, magic or spirituality however where they don't have that context, or your system is individually crafted in some significant way, how do you go about those kinds of first conversations?

I personally try to start with basics, or cover where mine fall on the specific subject that came up (afterlife, morals, god, ect). I do make a habit (or did before covid19) to talk with people out and about or at magic shops or other places about spirituality whenever someone brought up the topic, so this might not apply to the more introverted of us, but I'm still curious in those times how you go about it.

Any new spiritual person I meet: Oh cool what kind of Satanist are you?

Well, he achieved quite a bit - founded a religion, and a good one at that.

His Revised Satanic Bible was a masterpiece of introducing an authentic version of it, even though I understand the man himself was not a Satanist, his final writing of the book offered an approach to what Satanism can/could have become.

it was just okay, tbh. i never finished it though, still got it on my book shelf. before he passed i talked to him (once) to say a lot of the amazon reviews of his book were just butthurt CoS, and  I gave him 4 stars instead of the 3 i would of preferred, and he agreed the font sucked in the parts with the story of creation or whatever it was a copy of. Made it hard to read.


I did however very much appreciate the earlier parts of the book talking about the early history of the CoS and have yet to read the other books he recommended me and Idk if i forgot or missed when he died. Its weird to think such an iconic figure, no matter where you stand on the LHP, is now gone.


small disclaimer, im wasted as fuck writing this post

Wow. i guess i never heard. Or maybe I did and forgot


I had a bunch of shit going on in my life at the time, so I wasn't really involved with the forums let alone magic.

General LHP Discussion / over reliance on magic

« on: June 29, 2020, 01:40:43 pm »

So 8 days ago I carved a pentagram with the word "Satan" around the points into my forearm. It's healed to the point that I can barely see any lines anymore, but I energetically feel the aftershocks of it still. I did it really drunk and wasn't totally sure what I was gonna do I just felt devotional, but I vaguely charged it towards better financial success.

Yet something about it just, well it's been a long time since I did good blood magic and I had a nightmare where a sigil was cut into my neck, and it spread to my left shoulder and eventually down my left arm and my flesh peeled off and I had dry crusty open wounds and it was like the blood magic and the use of my flesh as a tool so to speak was out of control and the magic was consuming me and my path since it was inching down towards the Left Hand. I am scared of over-relying on magic and yet, I sense I am untapping at something I know can help me (not necessarily blood magic but using potent magic in general).

How do you balance use of magic with over-reliance? Is there anything that would ever take it too far for you and be unhealthy?

EDIT: if you wanna see, blood of course: https://kapalika.com/wp-content/uploads/20200621_0308091-768x1024.jpg

The OS discord has been dead for ages, i put a link to my own as well though.


If you like D&D and got Thursday 5PM-8PM Pacific time off, feel free to check out what our campaign is like... I already got a member on this forum there, but our party is kind of small (3 people, down from 4) so we could use a member or two more.

Satanism / Re: anarcho satanism

It's still a myth, in terms of actual violent crime. That time you mentioned was during the civil war, not the classic "wild west" time period. I imagined a shit ton of crime was happening then given the war and all.


Also last I checked government doesn't have much to do with culture and "economic progress" is usually an apparatus that controls the state not the other way around.


Violence is stopped by being armed?  I mean, there have been places and times (even entire societies) without anyone with a monopoly on violence and things were alright. Really the only difference between a government and a bunch of dudes with guns enforcing arbitrary rules is how much people agree on them being "legitimate".
