The Power of Ritual: How Occult Practices Help LGBTQ Individuals Navigate Identity and Belonging

By admin

The topic of occult practices is often associated with mystery, spirituality, and alternative beliefs. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in these practices within the LGBTQ movement. This can be attributed to a variety of reasons. One possible explanation is the rejection of traditional religious institutions by some members of the LGBTQ community due to historical discrimination and exclusion. Many individuals within the community seek alternative ways to connect with spirituality and find a sense of belonging. Occult practices, with their emphasis on personal exploration, self-empowerment, and non-traditional beliefs, can be appealing to those seeking a spiritual path outside of mainstream religions.


Spell scrolls are always either divine or arcane and that is determined by the spellcaster who created it. If they were a divine spellcaster then the scroll is divine, if arcane then arcane. If they were multi-class they have to choose at the time of creation which this scroll is and can only scribe spells of this type.

There is an argument online that the wizard might be able to copy the scroll into his spellbook successfully, but if he could, he still wouldn t be able to cast it, it being a divine spell. As for druid, if you want only some channel, there is option of Wild Hunt 5 moves for free when mastered and Nature s Flow - places effect on cell of battlefield and gives you channel when you stand on it.

Occult practices, with their emphasis on personal exploration, self-empowerment, and non-traditional beliefs, can be appealing to those seeking a spiritual path outside of mainstream religions. Additionally, the LGBTQ movement has always advocated for freedom of expression and the acceptance of diverse identities. Occult practices often center around embracing individuality and celebrating uniqueness.

How do you build a character with lots of channeling?
I tried Druid with eagles, but she does not have many channeling skills.
I tried mage, but again it's just 1-2 skills which spend channels and there is no reliable way to get more.
Cleric's channeling is weird as you have weak spells which increase channels and hope to get the one skill which spends channeling after them in every battle, otherwise (if the expensive spell comes first) you end with 2 bad turns.

1) Eldritch Grimoire + Bullchagers.
Eldritch Grimoire gives you 2-4 channel when you gain guard. If you salvage couple other items for Soul Sparks you can reroll bad grimoire in Wynne's shop to ensure that modifier is +4.
Bullchargers give you guard every time you move.
Basically, every step you make costs 1 AP and gives you 4 channel! And bull rush skill in these boots allow you two free steps from top of battlefield to bottom - 8 free channel.
I have this combo on Catherine and she literally spams Smite and Celestial Wrath.

2) Eldritch Grimoire + Twinkle
Twinkle gives you guard when you apply burn, Eldritch grimoire turns this guard into channel.
If you have fire spec Pierre, nothing is better. Alternative is taking magic missle wizard and just add Twilight Strap - every magic missle applies burn(Twilight Strap) -> burn gives guard (Twinkle) -> Guard gives Channel (Eldritch Grimoire)

As for druid, if you want only some channel, there is option of Wild Hunt (5 moves for free when mastered) and Nature's Flow - places effect on cell of battlefield and gives you channel when you stand on it. Basically for 0 AP you can get that channel three times - 6 channel for 0 AP.

However, if you want to build channel focused party without many tricks, take two spellcasters + Naran in Sonneteer specialization. Bard will give her companions any needed amount of channel, just raise her initiative to ensure that she acts first.

Divine spells can be written and deciphered like arcane spells (see Arcane Magical Writings). A Spellcraft check can decipher divine magical writing and identify it. Only characters who have the spell (in its divine form) on their class spell list can cast a divine spell from a scroll.
Occult practices and the lgbtq movement

The belief systems that underpin these practices can offer a framework through which individuals can explore their own identities and find acceptance and validation. This can be particularly empowering for LGBTQ individuals who may have experienced rejection or marginalization in their lives. Moreover, the intersectionality between the occult community and the LGBTQ community is evident in the principles of inclusivity and acceptance that both groups strive for. Many occult practitioners emphasize the importance of embracing diversity, and their rituals and gatherings often provide safe spaces for individuals of all identities to come together. This inclusivity can foster a sense of community and provide support for LGBTQ individuals to express themselves authentically. However, it is important to note that not all members of the LGBTQ community are interested in or involved with occult practices. The LGBTQ movement is a broad and diverse community, encompassing individuals with a wide range of beliefs and interests. While there may be a connection between the two communities, it is crucial to avoid generalizations and understand that every individual's journey is unique. To conclude, the interest in occult practices within the LGBTQ movement can be attributed to the rejection of traditional religious institutions, the desire for spiritual exploration, and the shared values of inclusivity and acceptance. While not all members of the LGBTQ community are involved in occult practices, this intersection highlights the diversity and individuality within the larger movement..

Reviews for "Discovering LGBTQ History through Occult Practices: Uncovering Hidden Narratives"

1. Sarah - 1 star - I found "Occult practices and the lgbtq movement" to be extremely problematic and perpetuating harmful stereotypes. The book seemed to base its arguments on fear-mongering and misinformation rather than factual evidence. It completely disregarded the richness and diversity of the LGBTQ+ community by painting it with a broad brush. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community myself, I felt personally attacked by the author's narrow-mindedness and lack of empathy. I would not recommend this book to anyone looking for a fair and nuanced perspective on the topic.
2. John - 2 stars - While I respect different opinions and viewpoints, "Occult practices and the lgbtq movement" failed to provide a convincing argument or solid evidence to support its claims. The author seemed to cherry-pick examples and anecdotes without considering the larger context, resulting in a biased and one-sided view. As someone who is open to exploring different beliefs and practices, I was disappointed by the lack of depth and intellectual rigor in this book. I believe there are more well-researched and balanced resources available for those interested in understanding the intersection of occult practices and the LGBTQ+ movement.
3. Emily - 1 star - I found "Occult practices and the lgbtq movement" to be nothing more than a thinly veiled attempt at promoting intolerance and prejudice. The author's biased perspective and misrepresentation of occult practices and the LGBTQ+ community further contributed to the harmful stereotypes already prevalent in society. It is disheartening to see such a book being published, as it only fuels discrimination and hinder progress towards equality. I strongly discourage anyone from reading this book if they seek genuine understanding and respect for diverse identities and beliefs.
4. Daniel - 2 stars - While "Occult practices and the lgbtq movement" raised some interesting points, I felt that the author's arguments lacked depth and substance. The book seemed to rely heavily on personal opinions and unsupported claims rather than well-researched information. As someone who is genuinely interested in understanding the intersection of occult practices and different movements, I believe there are more scholarly and insightful resources available. The simplistic and biased approach taken in this book undermines any potential value it could have provided, making it a disappointing read overall.
