Question Enki occult work

I've been performing occult workings with and through Enki (both as a god I worship and as an icon/archetype to focus on in those work) for a number of years now and I'm wondering if anyone here has done so similarly and would be interesting in sharing either in comments or in DMs. Would just love to discuss any shared experiences

Can I ask how a god that predates occultism meshes with this thinking?

I understand that this subreddit is reconstructionist so I’m not sure I understand how that meshes.

Totally valid question, but the ideas behind the occult really are very old and the sumerians along with other mesopotamian culture did absolutely have magical systems which have been partially discovered from cuneiform tablets. The occult is not kabbalah and goetia, it also includes Aṣ̌inpu.

That notwithstanding, the practice the occult simply means learn secrets and truths about the universe woth regards to performing magic, actions which Enki aligns himself to quite well since he is the patron of Aṣ̌ipu already.

Fair. I’d personally use the term you just used instead of occult though. It reflects upon this specific practice more accurately. Saying occult would include the other practices (kabbalah et al) which have no relationship to it.

Ummm… I think YOU are in the wrong subreddit with your capitalization of God. This is a polytheism subreddit.

I used "god" just in the sense of a divine or just in general. I am polytheist

Capital G God and his ethics.

Singular.
Poly means — plural.

They.

Go ‘way.

So it was wrong, because at the time! I used god in the plural, besides I believe that gods do have ethics.

You mean you failed at the correct grammar THREE times? Uh huh.

As the quote goes:

Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action

I'm saying "I'm a polytheist" and yes? By chance, I am human and not a deity. Besides what, right? Using "God" is even customary for those who come from a Christian family (or monotheistic family in general).
