Magick IV Sacrifice

Don’t Sacrifice, Invest!

By sacrifice, the religious attempt to invest in spiritual agencies.

Magicians know better; they invest directly in themselfs, cutting out the middleman. Sacrifice only those things which get in the way of desire, not the thing itself.

Commentary 7

Some neophytes imagine that you can conjure wealth by burning bank notes to the gods.

Never insult money or blaspheme it by gambling, unless you want to banish it.

If you want money, then sacrifice it only on opportunities which will make money. Treat money as a major God: for its capricious and awesome power rivals that of even love and war. Money acts as a vast, intelligent organism which lives by occupying part of the brain of nearly everyone on this planet. Mammon seems far more awake at this moment than many gods we could mention.

Have faith in the power of Money.

’I Love Money and Money Loves Me.’

Repeat continuously and preferably in an ensigilised language, to make it stick in the subconscious, during any wealth magic conjuration.

Bad investment = Blasphemy.

Never invest in any situation where you have no power to skew the odds in your favour by the exercise of effort, intelligence or parapsychology.
