Hello, I am very new. Options

Hey, salutations from the dirt basin of WA state. I just found this site, seems very interesting. I've always been interested in matters of the occult. People tell me I have an affinity for magic of all sorts, too, so I feel like I might fit in here pretty well.

I'm 21, married, male, I have my own home, and I'm here to further my own knowledge and experiences. I believe everything we know comes from within, and therefore I have to expand my knowledge and understanding of self to learn anything new. My wife gets sick whenever I work my will around her, which is peculiar to say the least, so I have to do it in the shed. But that's okay, because I rather like the peace. It also makes really neat spooky sounds when it's windy. My interests pertaining to magic are mainly rooted in Gnostic beliefs, but they center around summoning, protection spheres, and time manipulation (this one I haven't gotten yet, but someday maybe).

And that's all she wrote. I'm really a pretty boring guy when you get down to it. But I love to talk.

Look forward to being in the community with you fine people.

Edit: this is quite interesting, after doing some preliminary reading, it seems I would be considered a Chaos Magician. That intrigues me... I've long thought that everything magic that is successful, is charged with a specific energy, that of several people performing the ritual and it working for them. So every kind of ritual that didn't strike me as total bunk I've thought was credible at all and have tried, has worked. Norse, Icelandic, Italian, Germanic, South American... All pantheons seem to answer the call of a magician. So does any kind of sorcery piling together an amalgam of concepts. As to why, my thoughts on this come back to my quasi-Gnostic beliefs. I'm a very opinionated person, aren't I? Hehe.. Well, you live and learn. Already I've learned something, and already I like this place.

Welcome Isaiah!

I'm glad that you stumbled into/onto our Forum site! I have relatives in the western part of your state...lucky you! *grin*
Don't get too attached to the labelling here (or elsewhere for that matter), I'm considered to be a dyed in the wool Solomonic magician whereas I am a longwinded conservative wet blanket! LOL! Take some time to review the Guidelines, make use of the search feature and check out the Library!
I have more than passing interest in alternative energies and reality probability manipulation....perhaps we can bump heads some time? ...or , at least, start some discussion threads about such things? You mention a distinct clash of 'energy' between your wife and yourself when working with various things...this would make an excellent topic for discussion!
Anyways, welcome aboard, I hope that you will enjoy your stay!
