A small review: "An encyclopedia of giant lore that starts out by accepting the possibility that larger-than-usual humanoids once existed and goes on to collect evidence for that claim. DeLoach accepts the narratives of the Bible as accurate history, and relies on other sources that are at least open to question, but some of the more modern material he collects rests on stronger foundations."
No, I haven't read this book (yet). It's...

I know its not ment to be scary or creep but to me as a little kid he was always a bit creepy and unsettling.
Let's get the witches of /x/ together!
For those of you just becoming interested in Witch Craft, let's start with some beginner tips!
10 Common Beginner Witchcraft Misconceptions
1. Don’t do anything that makes you uncomfortable or puts you or those around you in danger.
While you likely already know this, it’s easy to lose track of when starting a spiritual path. Be discerning of what you read or what you’re told to do. Don’t join a coven to learn if joining a coven or the coven’s practices make you uncomfortable. Don’t follow a spell that requires you to ingest herbs without first ensuring those herbs are not poisonous - even if you think you trust the source of the spell. Use common sense and scientific research to back all of your studies, and never let someone make you feel out of control or uneasy.
2. Do not do anything that contradicts your own personal ethics.
Let me start by saying that Witchcraft itself has no inherent ethics. Magic is neither good nor bad, evil nor pure. There is no “white magic” or “black magic” unless you’re referring to color magic and color alone. In terms of good or bad, magic itself is neutral. The only restricting factors are the ones you give it, and these are called your ethics. Don’t let anyone tell you that you have to believe in the Threefold Law, which is Wiccan, or karma, which is stolen from Hinduism and Buddhism. You choose your own ethics. That being said, don’t let anyone talk you into cursing and hexing just because it’s the popular belief or because magic is a neutral area. This all goes back to the first rule: If you’re uncomfortable with it, don’t do it.
3. You will make mistakes. Always. Don’t fret over them.
Mistakes are part of the growing process. Try not to beat yourself up when a spell doesn’t work or backfires. It happens to the best of us - still. You are always going to be a student and always going to be learning. With learning comes successes, yes, but also mistakes. To this day, I make some amazingly simplistic errors from time to time. Some of them are advanced study related. Some of them are simple 101 safety basics, like putting water on an oil fire in the spur-of-the-moment panic (speaking from experience). Learn from your mistakes and forgive yourself. Learning to forgive yourself is going to go a long way in your journey as a witch.
4. Don’t steal from closed cultures and religions.
New Age/Neo-Pagan/Neo-Wiccan/Witchcraft books are notorious for this. How often have you heard of the term “smudging?” Probably pretty often as you start your studies. I’m going to let you know up front that smudging is an intricate Native American ceremony that is closed to you, and that waving a bundle of sage in the air is not smudging. The same goes for a variety of terms and items, including dream catchers, spirit animals, Voodoo trappings, karma, chakras, Santeria, so on and so forth. Neo-paganism and modern witchcraft is notorious for picking up bits of closed cultures and religions that require birth or initiation. It is up to you to research and discern these off-limit elements from what’s acceptable.
5. You do not need a label or a path.
Just because your favorite author labels themselves as a hedge witch or an Alexandrian Wiccan witch doesn’t mean you have to decide on a name for your path right now, or really ever. Your religion, spirituality or practice should be uniquely you. It should aid your everyday life, meaning that your witchy practices should be in line with your interests, hobbies and routines. Worry more about choosing subjects that you enjoy within the realm of Witchcraft rather than trying to find a path first and studying the finite number of subjects within it. Especially as a beginner, you are going to evolve as you study, meaning those subjects you enjoy now may not be part of your craft later. Choosing a path now will make you feel constricted to having to study one line of items that may not fit your life now, or may not change with you later. Of course, if you want to take on a label to narrow your field of studies, you can. Just be open to changing it should you do so.
6. You do not have to worship a God and Goddess, or both, or a certain pantheon.
Your version of witchcraft does not have to be deity-centric up front or ever. If you haven’t had a calling to a deity, don’t worry about it. No need to incorporate something into your practice that you feel no connection with. And this goes with anything, from elements to spirits to the fae. If you don’t have a connection with it or don’t believe in it, don’t force it.
7. You do not need every tool out there to practice.

Every now and then I stop by to post a thread and learn from or teach anons.
I usually post with a tripcode but I have since removed it because it is my opinion that that quality of the teaching is more important than he who teaches.
Today we will discuss the subject of occult symbolism and fnords.
I'll start with an easy one, can you tell what it truly is?
I have no idea anon. Please enlighten me. I've never seen it. Looks like a flower and a plus.

Are there any reasonably 'convincing' cases of human usage of psychic abilities (ex: ESP, PK, nensha, etc.)?
Most cases of people supposedly using or having these abilities have been debunked, and the ones that haven't seem suspect based on behavior of the claimants (refusals to be tested, only demonstrating one action [making the spoon bend, but why not make the spoon levitate or move to the side?], etc.).
About the only cases concerning psychic ability that seem of any note is the case of the alleged Soviet psychokinetic, Nina Kulagina, and even...

4048 thread. Jeffrey Rose just updated his youtube account and apparently removed all his other videos.
TL;DR google document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1II3RIUhrfHTFcqDrFMZ1N0WMWY-L6EgDQRgum3oJukI/
The video sounds like it has a message in it. I think we got this before in the puzzle, but it's good to know 4048 ain't dead..

IT IS the apparent mysterious figure in black which has reduced students and teachers to a state of mass hysteria and forced a school to suspend all its classes.
But despite the school reopening, blood-curling screams can still reportedly be heard.
In a saga which is gripping Malaysia’s media, dozens of students and teachers at the SMK Pengkalan Chepa 2 secondary school have been engulfed by a wave of mass hysteria.
The hysteria and hype surrounding the school is so strong that media have so far not been allowed to enter the school to verify their claims.

“Things were truly out of control at the time. But after the pupil recovered and went home, I then felt as though someone was hanging on to the left side of my body. I saw flashes of black, like a black figure.”
Another teacher maintained what she experienced was also very real.
Kamariah Ibrahim revealed she prayed when she was “losing control of herself”.

Hey /x/. Did you ever get the thought that all biblical religions (judaism, christianity, islam) are praying to a false god? I'm not saying that these religions are false. The god they are praying to does exist and they believe in him, only that he isn't almighty and even evil.
On the subject of Gnosticism:
In december of 1945 two men dug for fertilizer at the bottom of Egypt's Jabal al-Tarif cliff, just outside of Nag Hammadi. In the ground they found a jar that would fundamentally change the world. At first they hesitated to open this container, fearing...
