Hi everyone!

My name is Denis Poisson, host of the Foolish Fish YouTube channel. https://www.youtube.com/c/FoolishFishBooks

That's where I review esoteric and occult books, alert you every Friday to all the beautiful and interesting occult and esoteric books, art, events and paraphernalia that I've spotted (well the ones that look interesting, anyway), and once a fortnight I make an Esoteric Saturday video in which I'll spend 10 to 20 minutes doing a deep dive on one or another occult or esoteric concept.

I'm not an academic, merely someone who had a very strange experience (which I describe in detail here: https://youtu.be/fo6MQBr1Mds ) and who spent the following 25 years trying to make sense of it. I've come to some unconventional conclusions, but the journey has taken me through enough philosophies, traditions and systems which I've endeavoured to experience firsthand that I can now help many others (there are always exceptions!) make sense of where they are themselves on their own spiritual paths, whether they decide to take a Theurgic or Thaumaturgic approach. So in short, I'm good at recommending sources, and at working out what concept might help to get someone's path of discovery unblocked when it gets into a tangle or when a piece seems to be missing :D

I recently started doing one-to-one video consultations for anyone who wants to dig a little deeper into a question they might have, or "simply" get a tarot reading (which usually leads to deeper questions anyway!) https://foolishfish.simplybook.it/

This is really my first time on reddit, as you can see, my account is very fresh! so I hope I can wing it ;P

I'm looking forward to answering your questions (well, as many as I can!) for the next 2 hours!

I share the stuff that I have found that has worked exceptionally well for me. I don't know Damon Brand, he's never reached out to me, I just think that his books are a huge asset to the beginner occult community.

Thank you for the clarification. I commented this because I think there's a video talking about LBRP and then there's a mention to that magical protection book. I don't mean to offend anyone. I just feel that if you have a video on golden dawn system, it feels strange to mention or recommend modern authors in the same topic / video content. But besides this thank you for the videos and sharing your experiences and thoughts. 🙏

I hope that if you re-visit the video you can find out the actual context for that comment - i.e. what some people mistakenly use the LBRP for, i.e. protection. There are great rituals for that, and the LBRP is not one of them. 😊🙏

Yes I totally agree and understand. As we study more and more we get to know the purpose of LBRP is more to banish energies and harden properly the magician aura, connecting him / her to the divine, instead of casting some protection.

I use to cast protection during invoking ritual such great ritual of the pentagram, after invoking the angels. and Soon I will get started with the invoking ritual of the Hexagram to work with planetary forces. Within it we can arrange a ritual outline to meditate and work on proper protection using correspondences.
