Given the nature of the Occult (which really isn't as exciting and dramatic as people think), it really is a life time and beyond Journey as stated before. You can't just read a few books or simply google it.

Just trying to use humor in my social commentary. I find the premise of the thread ridiculous, and I'm calling you out on it. You can see any symolism in anything if you choose to do so. If you want to see Satan around every corner, or in the clouds, and on your burnt toast, you can.These are psychological projections that you assign to the objective world, or as we like to call it, reality.
You propose that there is a subliminal occult message being sent out by a pop star during a football game, and that said subliminal messages actually have an effect on the physical world, or on people through an occult, metaphysical "spell". I think that kind of speaks for itself without my smarta** comments.
Schizophrenics also think that the radio and TV are sending them personalized messages as well.
Your premise is based on interpretation and magical thinking.

When you said "Just now, while on a lyrics page for this song, this ad was on the sidebar, showing a Pathworking on the upper Left Hand Path. While saying "Stimulating Curious Musical Minds" - eMusic."
What exactly is a pathworking and how does it coincide with Stimulating Curious Musical Minds?
Yours is by far the most appealing post I've seen so far on here

I watched the performance and did take notice to the symbolism used in the show, such as the owl head dress. Personally I think major artists are aware of the belief of sinister occult motives by major artist such as jz, and in fact incorporate it I to third shows to play on the current trend. Remember Madonna wrote the book on this, there is no such thing as bad publicity, if people are taking about you, then you are successful!
That's what I believe is going on here with her and many other major artist. If you imply to the public that you may be some super star satanic agent who sold their soul for fame and fortune, then people will discuss and investigate you. In short you will get attention and that is exactly what all these performers want.
This is show biz folks, and nothing more.

Order from chaos, matter and anti-matter? Sounds like modern science. How old are these ideas? I've read but couldn't back it up that Big Bang and Evolution are rooted in Kaballah. You know anything about these?

I think that without the Occult, music would suck SOO bad.
The most beautiful and talented people in the world, come from this rich tradition.

As a performer (former) I feel it was an amazing show....but I look at it differently than most....
With that said.....her show revolved around Mythology....
I find interest in it, but don't take alarm or feel there is a conspiracy....edit on February 5th 2012 by greeneyedleo because: (no reason given)

As to your point about Roman mythology... SO WHAT? Lot's of ancient religions and cultures practiced sacrifices of everything from grain to animals to other human beings.
