It's been some time since I've posted in the forums, so I feel it's time that I properly
reintroduce myself and my current path...

I am Ouroboros - feel free to call me Ouro for short, or Kevin if you prefer personal
names. I am a Southern California native, raised Catholic until I was twelve years old,
after which I left the church (and organized religion) entirely. During my teen years I
explored world religions until I discovered Pagan Spirituality when I was 16. In the teen
years since my initial affirmation as a Polytheist, I have explored Traditional and
Eclectic forms of Wicca and Witchcraft, The Western Mystery Tradition, and
Reconstructionist Paganism, to which I am now apart of - specifically, Hellenismos.

Currently, I am exploring Hellenismos within the context of both religious practice and
mysticism, and though much of Hellenismos finds magical practice to be hubris, I
personally believe that not all theurgic practices are hubristic (heretical); As such, I
consider myself to be philosophically a Neoplatonist, and I have a considerable amount
of study and interest in the Greek Mystery Schools such as Orphism, The Dionysian
Mysteries, and The Eleusian Mysteries. That being said, I believe that true mystical
practices, whether theurgic or religious, all are striving towards The One, and hence The
Great Work, as it has been called.

May The Gods be with you all
- Ouroboros
