Greetings, Me. Options

Hello everyone (IMG:style_emoticons/default/prop.gif)

Ive been looking around the forums here for a while now, I randomly came across them a while back and more recently myself and Petrus, a good friend of mine, have been becoming more active on here.

In short I suppose I could describe myself as a Chaos Magician, which I would be fitting considering my experience and knowledge lies in a variety of areas raging from my early days of reading Wiccan works and in depth discussions with my Father, then Crowley, Agrippa (my brother and I are earnest students of this great man), Panchadasi and more recently... anything I can get my hands on, such as Phil Hine's Chaos Work.

I've got a wide range of a works from various authors and even though I don't practice things such as Luciferian techniques, I read them. After all, knowledge of certain areas will always provide a method of dealing with them if the need ever arises.

I more accurate description of what I'm about is... a seeker.
I seek knowledge. My goal though the magickal world is definitely in the area of self improvement, whilst I wouldnt consider myself a practitioner of Crowleys "The Great Work"
I do strive to become more and more in touch with my higher self daily.

My deities are all of the Aesir/Vanir (The Norse Gods) and even though the Asatru magickal methods do not call for pentacle workings, I have felt that my own particular concoction has worked well.

A run down of my magickal methods are as follows:

• Pentacles
• Elder Futhark Runes
• Sigils
• Mantra
• Astrology
• Rider-Waite Tarot Deck
• Various Magickal Tools

I am also currently exploring other divinatory methods such as rune sticks, and rune stones. I am also looking and beginning training with psychic abilities and development of the Astral Senses, eventually I will delve in to the practice of "Occult Swordplay"

For those that may not have any idea what this is, it involves seeing the aura quite well to begin with, then extending the aura as a weapon, a sword of sorts. As you may imagine this can be quite a potent method of defense or attack in situations that call for it.

I'm quite sure I will have missed something, Petrus may be able to add more based on his own observations and participation in our current work.

Looking forward to discussion a variety of things with everyone!! As my good friend Petrus will tell you, I will develop theories and work to support them until I can be proven otherwise, I find this can work quite well and inspires indepth conversation.

On that note, I'll give you a heads up! It is never my intent to offend anyone on any matter, so if you find yourself in a debate with me, take the time to think before acting, as Im sure the majority of you would anyway (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bigwink.gif) After all, control of thought, speech and action is paramount in our work.

See ya round (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bigwink.gif)

Welcome on Grimstone,

Your description of your developing theories sounds similar to mine. I am currently in the mode of letting all coexist as much as possible when online. In person I am much more forceful in my views of yes or know, hoping to be shown the error of my ways... if there are any.

Well, explore and have fun…just remember to be civil. It is a great group and there is a lot to learn from many here.
