Article by Sandberg on Qlippothic Magick http://archive.fo/Vq60D

cjtendon ago

The "Qlippothic" "magick" at the link is part of an entirely fictional role-playing game called Mage: the Ascension. That particular page is not evidence of anything more sinister than Dungeons & Dragons.

The directory at:

ftp://ftp.lysator.liu.se/pub/religion/satanism/Lupo/

is a directory of legal accusations of alleged sex crimes. It may have been assembled by people with bad intentions, but the allegations have the same standing as any other allegation of crime.

The take-home lesson is: Don't get excited by something that appears to be related to Satanism until you have examined it in context.

I think you missed the point of my post. I already explained that Sanders is well known in the gamer community and the link to the podcast is an interview where he talks about the games such as Mage: the Ascension and he also talks about his own personal interest in magic, especially the hermetic variety. The rest of the post talks about the influence and connections of theosophy and transhumanism within the international relations community.

The take-home lesson is: People get what they want out of a post.

Clearly you got nothing out of this one. That's fine.

I think you missed the point of my post.

There were a lot of details in your post, many of which I was already familiar with - so I already had an axe to grind, which prevented me from reading as carefully as possible. My key mistake was thinking that the original poster and the commenter were two different people.
