The Little Book of Demons and the overlap between tulpamancy and chaos magick

[bunnymustdie]

I read this book years ago and found it confusing and hard to understand. It had nothing to do with entities or psychological beings such as tulpas. The demons it spoke of were metaphorical. I don't remember off the top of my head, but I don't think I got any techniques I can actually try on myself out of it, more like just advice and gentle prodding on changing one's mindset.

 

Years later I've read other books and personally worked with my own subconscious mental complexes and false beliefs (as a result of some unpleasant occult type things I encountered). When I came back to this book briefly, I was able to recognize that it was talking about these things. It was accurate in its own way, and even coincided with what some other authors said about these false beliefs or complexes being two-pronged. This was a very specific thing one other author insisted on.

 

I believe this book's author knows what he's talking about for sure, but the book was still annoying and difficult to go through when I flipped through it recently. It's valuable for the occult community since I haven't seen other occult type books talking about the topic, but still.

 

For reference, the book I read that I found helpful was this one. The "negative identities" it speaks of is the same as a lot of the "demons" the chaos magic book talks about (also the mental complexes/false beliefs I referred to), but explained in a way that's much easier to understand. It comes with a technique one can use along with a tulpa to address these things - this helps a lot, since the actual experience one gains from removing these identities/complexes makes a big difference in learning about them.
