Hello! I guess it's pretty obvious that I'm new to the forums, and I thought I'd introduce myself!
Well...I'm new! I've been reading the forums for only about a day, and, though I most likely should have read more, I find this place to be a very calm and informative community with a very friendly atmosphere.
Here's some quick info of my introduction into magick.
I first became interested (Though, I had no idea what I was doing, at the time.) in things beyond the mundane when I was six. I remember sitting in the corner of my class room, during what the teacher called "stretch time" and having my eyes closed. I was concentrating really hard but I had no idea what I was concentrating on! I saw some kind of dark tunnel that extended (seemingly) on eternally behind me and just ahead of me was a light. Now, by this age, I had never heard of "The light at the end of the tunnel" theory of dying, so, I quickly moved towards the tunnel. I'm not sure how to explain my exact means of locomotion but I felt as if everything was moving around me rather my own self moving through everything else.
Well, I was about to reach the light, and I could feel an intense feeling of "enlightenment" (This is the most accurate word in my vocabulary to describe the feeling, though not exactly the word I would personally choose if my word bank was larger.) in side of me and all around me when all of the sudden my friend taps me on the shoulder and I jumble out of my little visualization.
I felt really confused, and worried. I had so eagerly sought for the light without knowing what it was.
So I did some book-diving and became interested in OBEs.
Though, my interests have expanded since, then!
