Hello!

I was just doing some research and I happened to stumble upon this forum and I recognized a few familiar names, so here I am.

I have been studying the occult for a little over a year now and I still feel like I know nothing at all. It must take a lifetime to scratch the surface.

I seem to personally be leaning towards the left hand path of it all, because I do not desire any judeo-christian elements in my personal practice.

But, even though I disagree with some practices/concepts in other paths I assure you I have no prejudices agianst them. I am an english major and I want to minor in religion. I want to get my masters degree in composition and rhetoric. Depending on how that goes I might just turn the minor into a dual major. I think it would be cool to teach a religion class. I am good about separating my personal views from my academic studies, and keeping religious discussions unbiased.

I look forward to learning and talking with you guys!

Much Love,
T

howdy!

>>judeo-christian elements in my personal practice.

lol - just cause its christian doesn't make it right-hand path, and just cause its non-christian doesn't make it left-hand path

think negative/positive, dissolving/affirming, death/life

then realize they are both sides or the same coin

it is possible to completely remove religion from one's personal practice, or drop neck-deep into it

exposition would be: wicca has both the goddess (life, spring) and the god (death, winter) - yin and yang - the coin, not the two sides of it

if you want to know about these things, go stare at the moon for hours begging for crumbs of enlightenment like we had to do, or use the search function

That is a perspective that I had not heard yet. That is a very different way of looking at it.

You see, because I am still learning and trying to understand the fundamentals, I see all these different paths and groups and methods and ways of practicing. While I don't really like to confine things with labels... I have to categorize this stuff in my head somehow to help keep track of it. lol.

So I see things like, The Golden Dawn system of magic, Thelema, the Enochian system, Cabala... and then I see other systems and methods such as Chaos magic, The TOS, The JOS, The COS, etc...

I was under the impression that these systems either work primarily with demonic energies or primarily with angelic energies, and that this was the key differentiator in paths.

I was also under the impression that, well of course depending on the person, it could be very detrimental to mix the wrong energies together or mix the wrong paths together.

Please tell if you have a differing opinion. I need to hear more perspectives on this subject.

I will do both sweetie. Thank you. I have never thought about staring at the moon and meditating on it. So simple yet so illusive.
