EsotericScience Posted November 16, 2018 #1 Share Posted November 16, 2018 (edited) I don't know much about Aleister Crowley, those goth kid fanboys just turned me off to Crowley all together & greys terrify the heck out of me but if Lam is real & someone here has communed with it. Would you care to share? Apparently even Crowley about soiled his britches at meeting Lam. I'm not recommending anyone try to contact it but if you already have what did it say?

If you are talking about the "greys" that some people think are "aliens", they are just dream-sleep paralysis "thought forms" called "snails" in Vodou. Yucky as hell but not terrifying once you know what they are. As for Crowley, he was a drug addled idiot.

The knucklehead conjured a "snail" and it scared him. He was a dabbler with no talent or power. But as my grandfather's saying goes.

The only real occultist of that time was Austin Osman Spare. He was a bit nutty, yet also critical of it all too. Pretty much the first psychology magician. I'm just a poor man's copy compared to him. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XenoFish Posted November 16, 2018 #6 Share Posted November 16, 2018 These "entities" are basically just aspect of yourself. They are thoughtforms that you create that allow you to pull information from your own subconscious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was only introduced to Spare after a Chaos Magician pointed out that that what I basically was because I use my grandmother's Hoodoo, some Vodou I picked up off of @Not A Rockstar and my grandfather's Algonquian traditions without most of the "bells and whistles".

XenoFish Posted November 16, 2018 #14 Share Posted November 16, 2018 OP, if you're serious about dabbling in the occult. Go with the simplest methods. You don't have to go the whole ghost n' goblins route. That route actually keeps you from achieving anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you shoot a link so I can share it with some friends please? And back to the topic... I vaguely recall Lam and Crowley from years ago. And I’m willing to bet a lot of members here don’t know about this topic, and apparent that some members are better read. Im willing to plead ignorance here.. what’s the lore behind Lam and Crowley?

Sure thing... it was from an episode of M.A.S.H. https://mash.fandom.com/wiki/Private_Charles_Lamb_(TV_series_episode) Animal lover Radar O'Reilly realized that the Greeks (NATO) in camp were going to celebrate with a traditional Lamb dish. He manages to get Hawkeye to get them so drunk they can't tell the difference between a Lamb and Spam Edited November 16, 2018 by and then 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably caught it in passing as a kid and never paid it further mind. With that refresher in mind and not quoting you directly anymore Xeno.. To the best of my recall, I don't believe there are any members currently here on UM that have conjured Lam. A smattering of ouija board demons get summoned, and sometimes folks claim other entities appearing. But not many conjurers around here, and I honestly don't recall any Lam's showing up in the magic or ghostie threads- usually critters that look like that show up over in the UFO/ET section- and I don't think there have been any Lam's by name over in that area either.

I mentioned the entity in other threads. This thoughtform only appears to a person under duress. Mostly during SP events. A lot of times it involves struggling with a door with one. Whitley Strieber saw them and reported them as "aliens" but I actually think he was dabbling with the stuff he described in 'Cat Magic'. I never knew Crowley saw one though. With his perchance for exaggerating and outright lying, I would say he didn't conjure it. It just showed up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
