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

Greetings!
I am relatively new here and have been trying to follow this thread with but partial success. In my experience I have met many different magical types. Being somewhat of a rebel myself, I found more comfort in pulling away from organized magic and tried applying some of what I'd learned to my own modest talents. What emerged was what I call Shamanic Sorcery. Shamanism has some strong social ties and the sorcery here applies to the creative principle within. Frankly, alot of Sorcery comes from not wanting to be poured into(or out of) a mold. It relies alot on native ability and less on religous stricture. Shamanics teaches us that the world, and everything it entails, is 'alive'. Not all 'sorcerors' fully understand the 'magic' that they use. Nor do they necessarily understand the potential dangers.
Some small notes from the preceding thread(s): The term is nit-pick, refering to the meticulous combing of the hair roots to dislodge lice eggs. This is usually done with a nit comb. Welcome to life, it happens...
If what CosmicBrat says is actually happening then we are blessed indeed to have his presence amongst us. The blue ice from Pluto is probably frozen methane and would spoil the tea... Also, this talk of Indigo people...*sigh* please check out the website: http://www.indigochild.com/ I think you'll find that most of you will be in this grouping. Role playing has its place in society but is very counterproductive when one is really trying to sort out actual phenomena from wishful thinking. Not to say that roleplaying is bad...use it to develop creative thinking...THEN apply the ideas to more tried magical theory. Happy experimenting! ...and keep notes!
