I don't need to believe something to use it as a thought experiment.

Though, there certainly are people in Hollywood who are Satanists. I don't need to make that part up. How common it is, or how pervasive isn't something I have any knowledge of. That there are people who subscribe to some form of Satanism is statiscally normal in the population.
I don't need to own a concept and passionately believe in it in order to be able to think about it. I certainly don't need to do so just to understand someone the way they understand themselves.
And that's why so many people tell me so many interesting things.
I think that I may well be. I understand Crowley to have been a miscreant and an imp, not a real devil. His proclamation that he was the antichrist seems calculated to upset the delicate English constitution. He really is a very sprightly character and I do not believe that he was malicious. Remember, the law of Thelema has two parts. Do as thou wilt, and will under love.
That the connection made with this blood isn't related to growing our knowledge or improving our breed, but to bring forth some other form of state of being which isn't based upon deeper knowledge, some sort of Illuminati Enlightenment you sound as if you find attractive. If so then you're quite the Thelema proponent yourself.
edit: P.P.S. The best reason not to eat pork is that it is a salty, tough, flavourless meat that is often riddled with parasites.

I think that blood [sugar] and sex magic can be used without harming a sacrificial victim. Consensual sex can be a part of tantric magics and blood can be acquired voluntarily. The ancient magicians tended to distinguish between white and black magic; helpful and harmful magics. I believe that the rituals supposedly used by the elites can have positive effects. Human sacrifice is probably not an example of white magic. Of course, this distinction may be as groundless and meaningless as the distinction between good and evil. Nevertheless, I think that enlightenment is possible.

It is ALL evil magick when blood enters the equation.

The biggest fraud in history is the idea that Christianity in any way perpetuates the same doctrine as Judaism.

Christians for instance know nothing and have never been involved in the esoteric study of the Hebrew bible. They dont even read it in its original language.

You cant know anything aside from the literal interpretation without reading it in its original Hebrew. With the translation, the allegory was lost (as Hebrew is a very complicated language where many words have comprehensive meaning). the metaphysical interpretation lost and the mystical significance hidden. One cant study the symbolism of grammar, or gematria, or any other form of biblical hermanuetics. These 3 levels "went dark" because of its translation out of the holy tongue
This is completely and absolutely FALSE, as well... But considering the source who is making the claim, it doesn't surprise me that you'd be so ignorant as to believe it.
This is also 100% totally and COMPLETELY false. Many people who follow the Christian faith have studied the texts in Hebrew AND Aramaic. Further, the whole Hermetic and Gnostic societies are completely founded on esoteric study of biblical texts. Again...you are simply trying to push your intolerant views on those to read this thread, but your ignorance and *ego* doesn't change reality.
Again, you and I have been through this argument many times. Just because this person interprets a document to mean "A" doesn't make it the only viable or accurate interpretation. God speaks to everyone in a language that is personal to THEM.... He doesn't speak in a "one size fits all so you must accept MY view." To say otherwise is just plain RIDICULOUS.
Thanks to Lylyth R. for the use of her original video.
The score is very good on her version.

This short film uses the soundtrack under the fair use provision for works of parody.
