Pagan Practices And Occult Supplies Online

By Minnie Whitley


During the early days of man, way before known types of religion were introduced to the masses, people used to worship the things around them that they think to be a more powerful force that mankind. Almost all ancient civilizations had the sun as the chief deity, that most omniscient being that is responsible for everything on earth. Other old gods include the stars and the various phases of the moon. It is customary for the natives to offer gifts of sacrifice to volcanoes, mountains, and immense boulders to appease an angry spirit.

When people turned to religion as a source of faith, these pagan rituals were instantly cast off and branded as satanic. Special contraptions and ingredients, including occult supplies online are banned to the buying public. Anybody suspicious is automatically seen as a witch or a warlock. During the dark ages, these people who are believed to be dabbling in the magical arts are considered as threats to the community and are killed even without enough evidences.

Years after the medieval ages, the knowledge of this specific area remain. They have been passed on from generation to generation. Practices involving dark magic are very much still alive today, held in secret locations and are done privately among fellow believers. Though such practices are still regarded as of the devil, there is no denying that it is still an object of fascinating study for many.

Occult, in etymology, simply means hidden or secret. This word means knowledge about hidden things. This gained such a dark reputation over the years, and today people see occult practices as pertaining to the demon. In occultism, a person tries to look into the unknown to see things that normal beings are not allowed to see.

Occultism includes fortune telling. Tellers or diviners use a crystal ball, which, according to them, shows the future of a person. There is also tarot card reading where the cards that one picks determines the upcoming events in his or her life. They are considered by some as purely entertainment, but for believers, they are the way to the future.

This is a very interesting subject for many. Even though technology has successfully answered most of the mysteries of life, still, a lot of people find occultism as a thing of interest. Like everything, this special interest begins with insatiable curiosity. Young occult fans start with the well known Ouija Board and the cliche Spirit of the Glass. From these swimmingly innocent and prank games, they become more and more curious about the other advanced subjects.

Even well known symbols seem to have their roots in occultism. Hand gestures like the ones done by rock stars, where they form a horn shape with the little an pointer fingers are believed to be a depiction of Satan. The victory sign is connected, allegedly, with the Illuminati.

Stars enclosed in circles are also believed to be satanic. Pentagrams, inverted pentagram, hexagrams and anarchy symbols are, according to some, used by someone who worships the dark side. They are most often seen in goth merchandise, which has lead the public to think that the punks and goths are devil worshippers.

Despite it being a form of satanism, there are still some people who can not simply turn away from the mystical aura exuded by magic. Today, there are still people who practice the ancient rituals. They make use of the different tools to make the dark side work for them, which makes them a most dangerous enemy to reckon with.
