Welcome!

Introduction

Hi! My name is Dénes Szántó (a.k.a. jan Tene in Toki Pona). I am a 17 year old boy from Hungary, and this is my Neocities page.

I plan on blogging about my various interests here including: Philosophy, Theology, Western Esotericism, History, Tabletop Gaming, Toki Pona, and whatever other rabbit holes I happen to fall into.

Things this blog ISN'T:

For you. I write these posts to organize my thoughts and flesh out ideas for myself. You might enjoy them, you might not, but ultimately, they aren't made for you.
Set in stone. I will probably change my mind about most things I write about at some point.
Infallible. I will make mistakes. I will get facts wrong. I'll try not to, but there's only so much I can do.
Objective. The posts reflect my biases and opinions. You're welcome to disagree.

Gameable Grimoires #2: The Lesser Key of Solomon

Continuing my survey of Western Esotericism from a TTRPG perspective, I will take a look at the infamous Lesser Key of Solomon (aka. the Lemegeton), a cornerstone of Solomonic magic from the 17th century. Specifically, we'll be examining the Ars Goetia. This treatise, one of five in the Lemegeton, is devoted to the evocation of 72 infernal spirits of various powers.

Gameable Grimoires #1: Merkavah Mystics

Directly inspired by Tree Climber's post on using some spells from the Papyri Graecae Magicae in TTRPGs, I'm starting a new blog series entitled "Gameable Grimoires". In which, I will examine historical esoteric/occult/magical traditions and try adapting them for role-playing games. Although most of the time, taking these rites wholesale wouldn't work well at the table, borrowing some ideas or only specific bits and pieces can certainly enrich your gaming experience. For this first post, we'll be taking a look at Merkavah mysticism.
