Ha ha ha, is that all real Satanist shit? Getting up in the middle of the night when Saturn is in retrograde to pick mugwort? I pick mugwort. Makes decent tea.
Harvesting plants and performing various tasks at specific times and under specific conditions is a regular practice in various occult systems, I’m not sure of the significance of mugwort, I chose it at random. I don’t think Satanism is “real” occultism, it doesn’t appear in the historical record until the accusations of the midaeval Catholic inquisition, of which most accounts are cartoonish fabrications or refer to pagan, Hebrew, or various forms of foreign cultural mysticism as “Satanic”.
Not really. The satanic temple is spicy atheism and the laveyans mostly do sex magic and manifesting, they're basically objectivists with sex magic. It's definitely occult to do ritual gardening, but ironically Satanists are generally low end of the occultism spectrum. I can see thelema (Alistair Crowley's religion) practitioners doing it. Wiccans totally would but they're the bizarre lovechild of protestant Christianity and 2nd wave feminism. A lot of neopagans actually would probably be down.
Sex magic sounds fucking awesome. Does it include nude gardening?
It can, but I generally recommend sex magic with people not in the Church of Satan as the Ayn Rand level of treating selfishness as a virtue doesn't make for great sex. Sex magic is very much just a thing among the more libertine occultists and neopagans, whether that's people setting up a gangbang for Beltane or some prayers before sex or a CoS or Thelema style whole ass ritual.
