i've been a long time, on & off, practitioner of the magickal arts - 10 years or so. I've delved into witchcraft, chaos magick, eastern mysticism and of course, hermetics throughout the years.
i've recently re-evaluated my own personal practice in comparison to the steps of IIH and i found that i am somewhere in STEP 04 & 05.
you can see my detailed account of how i worked IIH through my blog;
aliasmagus.blogspot.com
as well, i am looking forward to learning from this group - my main troubles w/ IIH is the terms it uses throughout the book so expect lots of questions. :)
Hi aliaswaway and welcome to the forum. :)
I'm on step 2 so I'm looking forward to here from you more on your experiences with further steps of IIH.
Best,
Ile
thanks. :) i'll try my best.
i have my blog posted up in my profile where i keep all my workings and my work with IIH.
my best advice that i can give so far is that work on/have experience with an easier magickal system before going for IIH - I don't know why people always recommend this system for beginners since it's quite a read. I've tried a couple of times before getting anywhere (this is my 5th or so try and my best effort so far) and from what i've seen from other forums, people almost give up on their first try.
2nd, if you are willing to go at it - you better find someone to work with or a guru of sorts. even though IIH is mainly focused on a solitary practitioner (which i find funny), the sheer amount of information in it is quite tedious - so it's best to work with a buddy system, lol. this forum is a good start because we are all working on it.
IIH is for the long run and if you want results then there are other things you can work with.
Hi there,
<<IIH is for the long run and if you want results then there are other things you can work with.>>
Can you recommend some?
Best,
Ile
well, that's what i believe in.
IIH is inner alchemy and thus, a lifetime to reach for some - slow and steady applies for this book.
it's funny that you asked this because i just finished a list of books i'd give someone if they wanted to be a sorcerer/magus.
1. The Sorcerers Secrets: Strategies in Practical Magick by Jason Miller
2. Summoning Spirits by Konstantinos
3. Liber Null by Peter Carroll
4. Buckland's Complete Book of Witchcraft by Raymond Buckland
5. Tao of Jeet Kune Do by Bruce Lee
it really depends on what you want out of it.
to me, in the beginning, i wanted power but eventually - it balanced out. i still want power but not for the same purpose as before.
the list above should get you started and while doing those, pepper in some IIH.
Hi Aliaswaway - thanks for your input on the forum and helping other memebers along. We appreciate your input here and welcome more...
cheers.
5. Tao of Jeet Kune Do by Bruce Lee
It's not that I don't love Bruce Lee, but isn't that martial arts instead of magick? xD
By the way, I'd suggest that even if you feel you're already on step V of the IIH, then there should be no problem for you to start over from step I. Go through the first steps in 2 or 3 months since you believe you already have them done. Maybe you could find something valuable. :)
lol, philosophy in the book is worthwhile and can pertain to magickal practice. :)
agreed, i was working on another system but i just can't let IIH go so i've dusted my old copy and will be going at it from the beginning.
