Cultus Sabbati
General Knowledge
Salutations ladies and gentlemen. I wanted to bring attention to an organization and body of work with many similarities and overlays to that of Castenada’s: the Cultus Sabbati. This particular organization was founded by Andrew Chumbley in the 80s (I believe), but English Sabbatic Folk magic predates Chumbley by at least a few 100 years. This work, per my reading, is very focused on the acquisition of Spirit allies and the practice of dreaming, but much less so with impeccability and recapitulation. In many ways I would say Sabbatic folk sorcery is what the “old sorcerers” practiced.. very power centric, not as much about inner development. would definitely be interesting to hear other thoughts ..

The Sorcery Lineage of Don Juan Matus & Carlos Castaneda

The purpose of this subreddit is to aid in the pragmatic application of the works of Carlos Castaneda, Florinda Donner, Taisha Abelar, & Carol Tiggs to how we experience existence. Core topics include: sorcery (a.k.a. the mastery of intent), awareness, & non-ordinary reality (magic). Here, you can: learn ABOUT sorcery, what has and has not worked over thousands of years, decide to empirically embark on your own "definitive journey," and altruistically document your challenges and discoveries.

r/castaneda Rules

Accounts newer than 10 days old cannot comment, and must reach 21 days before posting is allowed.

4 commenting upvotes (in any subreddit) are also required in order to post after those 21 days.
Do your best to tag new posts with a relevant Flair category. Otherwise, select General Knowledge.
Please be familiar with the terminology used in here before posting. See the Wiki's Terminology page

Astral Projection is the most problematic term, along with OBE. Please use Dreaming Double, or Dreaming Body instead.
Any post that diverts away from the implied purpose of this sub, will be marked SPOILER or removed.

The stated purpose of this subreddit is to aid in restoring the reputation of Carlos Castaneda and the knowledge he imparted, by pragmatically applying that knowledge IN PRACTICE. This means that we are sticking to what really works, as proven by direct experience by long-practicing members.
No low effort posting, pretending, or wasting people's time.

Especially problematic posts, ex. questions that could be answered by either practicing or by reading more posts or from the books, will be removed and users who make similar repeated posts will be banned for a minimum of 3 months. Pretend sorcery which does not emphasize silence, and is based only on thinking and mood, will not be tolerated.
Self-centered promotion, jockeying for a "top-dog" position, & grandstanding are bannable behaviors.

Persons promoting behavior over effort to get silent and the necessity to move the assemblage point, and who won't give up that activity, are likely to be banned for a minimum of ONE YEAR.
Those being overly disruptive will be temporarily or permanently banned, at the mods discretion.

This is a blanket rule, meant to give mods a more broadly applicable option for a ban or content removal. Banned users still have access to the subreddit, wiki, and all its resources (except the group chat).
Please report content in violation of any of this subreddit's rules to the mods to be evaluated.

This will make it publicly unviewable until it can be assessed.
