The solo occult path is an ancient one. One is following in the path taken by others and symbolized by the Hermit in the tarot. It is the path of the satanist, shaman, druid, etc. It's a process of gaining in self knowledge, wisdom and awareness. It's about developing the powers of the mind and soul, of seeing with illuminated vision that which is not visible to the ordinary waking eye. I think this is a fantastic path and I know personally its definitely enriched my own life experience.
The thing of it is, its a hard path. You're dealing with intangible things. It's exploration of the inner world while also expanding the awareness of the outer in terms of accessing different dimensions and the advanced beings (the ones who are human friendly – some are not) that dwell there, in a search for wisdom and understanding, in order to lead a fuller, more enriched and productive life.
But it's work which requires sacrifice. Not the sacrifice of others as in some sick blood ritual. No; the sacrifice required here is that of ones time, energy and dedication to do the work. Nothing comes from nothing. Merely dedicating to Satan, for example, isn't going to automatically mean He's going to appear like the good fairy, wave a magic wand over you and suddenly all the cares and worries of day to day life are erased.
Some people think dedicating to Satan means you are going to have things like money, power etc handed to you but thats not the case. All it really means is you have dedicated yourself to that which Satan represents or stands for which is truth, by which I understand to be the seeking of occult knowledge and of knowing oneself. It's a very individual desire and a journey. It requires taking a dive into the deep end of the pool. Its not for those who simply want to skate over the surface of life, not something one dabbles in, but a living path – you live the path. You don't just read about it, or only practice it sometimes. It becomes ones way of life.
One on this path will be working with enigmatic forces.
