Ehh, he’s involved with the deeply fascistic Order of Nine Angles so I’d avoid him.  I tend to find Genesis 3 to be an excellent starting point, and I have a podcast coming out in the near future on the subject, actually just a lot of the book of Genesis, and the Book of Enoch (Apocrypha).  After that I’d reccomend books on early modern witch hunting (like the Compendium Maleficarum) and the Zohar, as well as  the Treatise on the Left Emanation, the Lesser Key Of Solomon (I reccomend against using those particular rituals to summon demons as they involve a lot of binding and commanding and that generally offends them), also there’s loads of great Biblical Apocrypha out there, especially Thunder Perfect Mind.  There isn’t really a good central text for a left-wing Luciferianism… or Luciferianism in general TBH aside from biblical writings, and it’s a decentralized faith without a set doctrine so it’s primarily about figuring out what Lucifer means to you and what texts you regard as authoritative.

I’m also a fan of Baudelaire’s Litanies of Satan, and Milton’s Paradise Lost, and various other literary/pop cultural/folkloric depictions of Satan.  I primarily read Hermetic literature and Christian theology (including heretical) along with a lot of witchcraft literature to get an idea of the… historical depictions of Lucifer.

Welcome! I have a whole reading list page on my blog. Enjoy!

Allow me to make one thing perfectly clear to you gadjo (non-romani/Roma people)

👏STOP SAYING THE FUCKING WORD GYPSY👏

1. You don’t have a “gypsy soul”, there’s nothing sexy about being forced to be a nomad because of government persecution
2. You’re not a “gypsy witch”, divinitation (crystal balls, tarot cards, palm reading, etc) was used to razzle dazzle the gadjo because governments made it ILLEGAL to employ Romani people
3. 50-65% of the Romani population in Europe was wiped out because of the Holocaust because Hitler hated the “dirty gypsies”. You read that right, 50-65% of the Romani population DEAD because of the Holocaust.
4. No, you don’t have “gypsy style” because your idea of “gypsy style” is romanticized garbage, made up by European travelers when the camera became mobile and they explored Asia (this romanticization and fetishizing was a wide spread issue with each culture and population they encountered, posing the people in positions and outfits THEY DEEMED SEXY, not what the natives found comfortable/attractive). Fashion stores, STOP USING BOTS to auto like “gypsy” tags on Instagram, this is a HUGE problem there

Some Romani/Roma have tried to reclaim the term (similar to queer with the lgbt community), but many Romani still find the term gypsy incredibly hurtful.

Plox. Stop that shit.

I swear, I have been through every grimoire I know. I got nothing, friendo. I am so sorry, you managed to stump me. And I just don’t know enough about astral damage to try and put a spell together.

You might try orriculum, they have a bajillionty spells.

@brightestandbest, you do the astral stuff more than me? Any ideas?

Other followers? Ideas?

I attempt astral but I am not that good at it and the only place I ever go is my super warded temple so I have no experience with astral trauma. Sorry friend, good luck.
