Bishop Leadbeater points out why anybody working with the Occult cannot eat the flesh of other living beings. He makes it clear that the stain on one's soul for causing such suffering to others renders one unfit for occult studies. His is yet another argument for why causing the suffering of other living beings is wrong, not just for altruistic reasons but because of the harm that one does to oneself. I highly recommend this book for anybody who is working in the Occult. With the discipline necessary for mastering those studies, it should be easy to add a switch to a vegetarian diet to the list of requirements. If you don't have the discipline to become a vegetarian or vegan, then you don't belong in the world of the Occult. Leadbeater doesn't mince his words at all. Witches and Ceremonial Magicians, take heed.
