Occult, Qabalah, Golden Dawn disillusionment

[Aion]

Well that kind of speaks for itself. Most people who have no interest in rituals usually cite the fact that it seems overly complex, I've heard that lots. Also heard from lots that they don't see any point in ritual or that it seems to be the long way around. These opinions are pretty common.

Thing is, if you aren't naturally drawn to ritual magic then my assumption is maybe it's just not the path for you. There is a concept in gnosticism and theosophy there are primary 'rays' which people work upon according to the colouration of their soul. Ritual magic corresponds with the violet ray and is the most complex ray to work with.

I feel very disinclined towards trying to convince others of its uses as I assume if one has no connection to it themselves then they likely won't get much more than confusion from me. Let me just say that I believe enlightenment to just be a milestone, not the end of the road.
