Greetings all
I'm sure you've all heard about Epstein scandals , since Baal and Moloch are involved my question is do you think that Epstein's power was gained through magick, unrevealed or unknown rituals , spirits and god's or you think it's much more complex than that and this is only the surface ? In other words do you think that being involved deeply in the occult can give one such power and authority ?

Warned: Off topic. Use report function or DM a moderator.
Deeply unlikely. It was probably all just money and connections.
This... if a person has enough money and the right connections there is no occult nessecairy. But @Yazata @HoldAll isn't it better to move this topic over to the forumsub controversy?

This is rather controversial topic, but asking about occult influence is occult topic too.

So to keep on topic, I'll add that demon cannot give you power over something he has no power over.

Dear friend , my question is so clear that I'm asking about occult influence over serious practitioners, I'm not interested in Epstein as a person
Ok, I think I made in my mind to fast a conclusion. Normally I have quality posts, but I can make a mishap too. The mishap was missing the last part of the post. My bad, excuse to everyone in the topic.

But back on track, I don't think that occult power can reach so far that these kinds of power over people is possible. It only would be possible if people believe that a practitioner has that power. Making others believe in that, is not so easy?

The reason people are calling these vile predators "Satanists" is because Hollywood Satanism -'Rosemary's Baby', etc, is all they can think of. It's their only framework for something so monstrous.

They really need a bigger mythic vocabulary... or more movies. .. or even just 'Cabin in the Woods' :)

Well , to be honest with you the real reason of me relating between Epstein and the occult is one of D H Thorne videos where he mentioned that they found a status of Moloch in his island , him worshipping Moloch . Since then I can't halt myself from thinking about his power and authority

Yeah, I’m with Morell on Epstein’s power, it was money and connections. When someone has that kind of money, they can access networks and influence that regular people simply don’t have.

Does being deeply involved in the occult give someone that kind of power or authority? No. If someone is talking about occult things that barely relate to your interests, they have no power over you. And if you do have influence in a situation through evocation, that’s “borrowed power,” help you asked for. It’s not your power.

For me, authority comes from lived experience in the practice. Someone can be involved in the occult for years and still only skirt around, that doesn’t make them an authority.

Can a practitioner convince others that they have power and authority? Yes. With some knowledge, if one edges around a bit, it usually impresses and convinces people that they know things. But that usually falls apart when they’re around serious practitioners.

Alright , but again my question is do you think that those who take magick and the occult seriously can accumulate such wealth that allows them to conquer the world ?

Epstein was not an occultist. The closest he came to indicating an esoteric interest was in alien abductions, and that was him asking Lawrence Krauss to ghostwrite a piece debunking it.

It seems like a big ol psyop to garner a specific reaction from the public. Everyday my opinion changes on what or how he was able to do all this and what the real intent was.
