One of those links uncritically copies from a very memorable Onion article that became viral among people who didn't realize it was satire. That one article may have been Onion's all-time greatest hit, which helps explain how I was able to recognize it after all these years.

Back then I thought there was no way Harry Potter would really be Satanic. Nowadays... my preconceptions have been shaken a great deal.

Reading through the second link and most of it is christian bullshit.

Stories of magicians and witches are nothing new. Moreover, having occult knowledge does not make you someone who is trying to normalize it. Heck, WE have occult knowledge based on the research done on voat, 4chan and reddit. Harry Potter is clearly portrayed as fiction, not non-fiction. So you can't say its a handbook. It simply uses real practices to paint a picture.

EDIT: that being said, I forgot about the mandrakes. The concept disturbed me as a child too. I thought "why would you kill wooden plant babies, especially if they look like our own human children?". I know for a fact that Rowling is sketchy; like Bill Gates, she is "too good to be true". Just wasn't completely sold on it being an occult handbook until I was reminded of babykilling jokes in Book 2.

I would also like to make clear that esoteric knowledge can be used for the good of humanity. Awakening the Third Eye is perfectly fine; its about how one uses it and what path they take. Service to Self (as the elite do) or Service to Others?

Yep...insta response. Pretty certain u have been arguing w CTR. If not, it is someone too lazy and closed-minded to see the reality that has been unveiled, even if it is contrary to his preconceived notions. Kudos for your efforts, but it is a brick wall for some.
