Sorcery, merged with older thread Options

“Sorcery has no bounds or limits, except those that are put in place by the practitioner. It is the Study of Raw Power and often of Dark Energies. It stems from an Inherent need to delve into the deepest and darkest parts of One’s Self and although it may be dangerous and painful to Realise your Primal fears and desires it is well worth the effort”.

I was somewhat disappointed but not surprised to see so little interest in this category. I know that information is hard to find but so is anything that is worth the effort.

Although this is not the Path for everybody I hope that at least some of you are interested.

I am therefore inserting a basic description.

EDIT - text reduced to normal size. Mediocracy 01/04/2005

Sorcery is the need to study the deepest and darkest parts of ones self. Through understanding their primal desires, obscure passions, and emotionality the practitioner than draws on his or her own Raw Power. Most Sorcerers adopt an aggressive stance in their magical works. They tend to ignore whether or not they use their power for “good” or “evil, and often dismiss such concepts from their lives altogether.

Sorcery cares not what it changes.... it simply changes

Central to sorcery are Balance and Polarity within ones self, this can then be transferred to the world around us. The sorcerer is an expert at bending things to their own will. The most common way of achieving this is by using Twilight – this is a realm of the mind which is characterized by its extreme distortive properties, roiling energies, and occurrences bizarre enough to shock even the calmest, most accepting individuals. The practitioner can make changes in this shadow world that will then manifest themselves in the everyday world.

The unique art known as Sorcery is one which knows no bounds and has no limits, except those which are allowed by the user.

Another aspect of Sorcery is Glamour. This grants its wielder immense powers of persuasion. Ultimately it changes the way People Perceive the Person that is using it. It can Instill fear and create harmony. Oh and if you wish to temporarily change your appearance it can be useful to.

Hope this was some Help

Here is one of my views on the practice* of sorcery:

Sorcerers/sorceresses are masters of emotion, and use this raw energy with intent to bear upon their will.

They are shape shifters with the ability to go through personalities the way folks go through underwear#. This flexibility enables them to easily resolve 'problems' that cloud the minds of their, more rigid, fellows, and allows them to access certain skills that would usually not be available to them. They have no set personas, but often assume a default one for those who hold their love, and for general interaction with others. They assume complex and often controversial behavioural patterns to amuse themselves and others. They are practical jokers. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol_2.gif)

They have no gods, as they are in perpetual contact, with that, which is commonly termed, 'the divine'. They need not invoke 'divinity' as it courses through them constantly, and they harness aspects of it at will.. if so required. This connection allows them constant access to what is commonly termed, 'the akashic records', enabling them access to knowledge that is not yet their own. Their spirits are filled with bliss.

Sorcerers/sorceresses cast no spells and have no use for props, as they've transcended the need for psycho dramatic stimulation. When they desire something, they simply will it into being, manipulate their physical or internal environments... or for a moment merge the astral and physical dimensions, resulting in immediate manifestation and thereby eliminating the time factor. The merged astral and physical dimensions I collectively refer to as, 'The Twighlight'. 'The Twighlight', is a dimension in its own respect.

They are efficient in dealing with hostile entities, and don't have to cast circles and hold aloft intricate seals before they are protected.

They have a great understanding of the way in which the universe moves, or as some would the term it, the law of 'cause and effect'. Thus, most of them have skill in clairvoyance and are also able to manipulate 'the flow' in a way that doesn’t disturb it. They have a knack for being at the right place, at the right time.

Truth does not exist, there is no such thing as good and evil, and morals are taboo, and often seen as limitations to transcendence, depending on the situation.. of course. Their behaviour is sometimes questioned by those around them. 8) :twisted:

They have no fear of death, as they are aware of their cosmic immortality. Life is seen as a game, and is accepted in its entirety with all its 'ups' and 'downs'. It's a journey full of folly and decisions. They are therefore a relaxed folk, with little stress. Nothing really bugs them, as they don't allow themselves to be caught up by the mundane in life. They have never really lost their 'inner child', but are mature enough to get serious when the situation calls for it.

They are masters of folly% and use it to travel between realms as they see fit. A sorceror/sorseress has a great sense of humour and enjoys playing the fool, being silly, and imitating other people's behaviour for laughs. They are not 'pack animals' though, and prefer to do things alone, yet they're far from antisocial. They are sometimes impatient and irritable, and prefer it when people get to the point.

As an interresting side note, many sorcerors/sorceresses are former witches, magicians, or both.

Hope this sheds a bit more light. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wizard.gif)


(*) Sorcery is not a practice, but a constant awareness.(#) This would often lead to the perception that they are insincere.(%) Thus they make great actors, stage performers, or comedians.
