Occultcorpus in Spanish

  • Posted on October 2, 2011 at 11:10 am
I've learned that some of our posts are showing up on this site, in Spanish. I found out about it because I linked to pages on my personal website in some recent posts, and my site software automatically tracks incoming links from other sites, so the Spanish language site started showing up in my daily statistics.

Does anyone know who's doing this and why?

Bookstore poll

  • Posted on September 14, 2011 at 11:28 am
I am making this thread to ask people if they buy books from Occult Corpus book store.

I do not for the books listed are ones I can find any where.
There is nothing exclusive or hard to find books at a low cost compared to places found else where on line.

What about you?

OC bad boys/girls – Don’t throw away the key!

  • Posted on August 26, 2011 at 2:43 am
I was wondering about infractions on this website. If there is a punishment system, shouldn't there also be an award system?

Otherwise it's like sending prisioners to jail, with no time off for good behavior and in jail work, or rehabilitation programs?

I think the reputation system and the thank you system could be a starter, but also just keeping an eye on staying on topic and helpful posts, when questions are asked?

One can tell an offensive joke, maybe without even thinking about it, and get an infraction here, but how does one do good deeds?

I realize this isn't preschool nor is it a government run website, but a personal one gave out for the public and you can do what you damn well please. But, it is a community, thus the only real reason to have rules, else only something like hacking would get the moderators intrests.

Anyway just an idea. I have two infractions and although it doesn't restrict access or anything, I feel like I'm on the "OC outlaw list," and must watch my every step else possibly be banned next.

For anyone who's curious my first infraction was by calling the moderators "dicks," and comparing them to cops. Which I thought was obvious joking, but I was mistaken.

My second, was for calling a guy who I thought sarcasticly posted that he drew triangles on his chest and invoked goetic demons, a demonolater, which if he does as he says, that is the definition of the word. In the goetia to use no god names, circles, triangles, etc, and in/evoke demons is to worship them, not command them with divine authority.

Anyway, unfair or not, I got two infractions, and now I want to clean my record. Is there anyway to do this?

When are you going to fix, where it says blogs number and thank yous?

  • Posted on August 2, 2011 at 6:23 am
Like the title says.

The number of blogs is not infront of the place where it says this but behind where it says how many times you have been thanked.

I've noticed it the entire time I've been here, and just wondered why this is and if there were any plans to fix it.

The whole site looks really user friendly and professional, except this. :(

Album upload issues

  • Posted on July 25, 2011 at 8:21 pm
Lately, when I have tried to upload images to my album, they go into their own category "pending images", which if I navigate away from the immediate post-upload page don't show up in my album, cannot be linked to, and cannot be found / viewed in my album even by myself.

Is this intentional? Am I doing something wrong?

Applied Fiction forum

  • Posted on July 16, 2011 at 6:55 pm
So there is a chaos magic section, and within it there is an HPL Mythos forum, but I believe fiction and fable has a much broader range of value than just Cthulhu and CO. and Chaos magicians scaring Jessica Fletcher away with invokations of Jason Voorhes. And so I'm proposing an new forum be built, only I'm not sure if it should go in "Social Aspects" or in "Magickal Discussion," as it would be applicable for entertainment AND study. I would probably put a thread in there on the power of fabulous metaphor and its uses through history. New book/movie reviews or tips for creators, from creators could also go in there, as could serious discussions on how to dispel frumious Bandersnitches and breed Fnords.

Any thoughts?

My Illustration blog

  • Posted on July 4, 2011 at 3:33 am
Hey people, I am launching my new illustration blog!

http://asterionsoccultart.blogspot.com

I really had no idea where to put it and the Announcement section I think it s off limits to me.

I hope you don t mind if I make an announcement here for those who might be interested, and if this is against forum policy in any way I will make sure to remove it.

I d like to offer my services should anyone want to hire me. BUT, before I get tomatoed and potatoed, this is not about money. I do occult illustrations, seals, talismans and other such graphics, also artwork, fonts and covers. I will not ask to be paid, but I will ask in return only..books. If the author who is hiring me for a job does not want to invest money in good illustration work, he can invest a few copies of the work or a few copies of previous works of his. Or hers.

I enjoy working in this regimen and find that it s good for both me and editor.

Psychology Forum

  • Posted on June 28, 2011 at 2:44 pm
I've noticed a lot of people mix psychological principles with magical and spiritual ones. Some base it entirely on what they learn from the behavioral sciences.

This makes me think there is enough demand for a sub-forum dedicated specially for this subject of interest.

So today I got the following email, not sure what it means LOL.

Dear VIRAL,

Your access to the paid subscription "Meetup" is about to expire.

If you have selected a recurring subscription you will be automatically billed for the renewal, else to renew this subscription you must visit http://www.occultcorpus.com/forum/payments.php

If you do not extend your subscription, access will be removed.

All the best,
Occult Corpus


Huh?

Secondly, I wanted to PM this to Echoes, but can't find the "members" button. Where did it go??

Gnostic Sub forum?

An app for that?

  • Posted on October 23, 2010 at 6:43 am
I love reading this site on the go, yet wow..it's so small from my iphone (yeah..i'm a consumer whore sometimes:)). Has the idea of a mobile version of Occult Corpus ever been toyed with or is it just a money issue that is way out of the question? I'm not sure how much it costs to "mobilize" websites but I just thought I'd throw it out there that I'd love to see this happen perhaps to either hear a firm or that this might be possible one day.

Experimentation forum

  • Posted on October 9, 2010 at 12:57 pm
I have another suggestions. what about a forum for on going experiments. Where the magical, spiritual etc are put to the test. Not for the sake of testing but for the sake of experimentation. I don't know what it would be called but a section for this may be a good idea. :/

There are a few tests going on at the moment and also it would be good for people to say put up seals of spirits they have been given that are not in grimoires so that other people could summon them and give their take. I think it would be a good idea. But then I am biased :D

Astrology Forum

  • Posted on October 5, 2010 at 7:40 pm
Hello. I wondered if there could be an Astrology Forum? Astrology in magic of course. Dependant on what you wanted to use it for, it would span multiple paradigms you see. A place where people could discuss the Astrological aspects and placing of spells. I'm really looking for something a little more complex than Conjunct-Moon ASC which doesn't really require a forum to tell people rofl, but I mean a place where we could examine the effects of the sky and how they play out on the results of the spell as well as how they shape the ceremony. Day to day influences of astrological events. There are lots of things to discuss and there seem to be a few astrologers on here other than myself. Perhaps if it isn't busy then a sub-forum?

Just a thought anyway. Im quite high on energy drinks lol and its 2:38am so I'm a little O_O at the moment, but I think its a good idea. :D

Shamanism forum

Is there a possibility for there to be a new Shamanism forum. I think it is one of the more under-appreciated occult inclinations, but there are occultists interested in this practice. Just an idea.

Non-harming rule?

  • Posted on August 30, 2010 at 2:46 pm
It would be nice to have a non-harming rule for anyone writing on these forums, meaning that it would be zero tolerance for attacking a fellow occultist on any level. It could be added to the egregore.
