Has anyone met in person or on the internet claiming to be something only to start coming off as being crazy as a near total nutjob?

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/ac42.gif) Well said.

Too many people in this field also fall into the trap of silly superstition, seeing meanings and/or omens in things that usually have nothing to do with them. Just because someone studies the occult is no excuse to turn the critical thinking faculties off. If anything, it's a reason to strengthen them, so the student can separate the truth (such as it is) from all the BS floating around out there. On top of that, it forces the magician to take responsibility for his or her actions. This is something that seems to be sorely lacking in many groups, not just those who study the occult or religions. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/yawn.gif)
