Hi

My name is John. I live with my wife and three children in Las Vegas, employed as a goldsmith at the Venetian. On the side I dabble in gemstone faceting, fossil-hunting, and ink drawing for books and magazines.

I've been around the occult forums online since the mid 1990's, and some of you might recognize me as Pigasus from Cantrap.net which was formed largely out of copies from my message posts on AOL.

I've always had an experimental approach to magic and have explored a variety of different systems and techniques. My major focus has been the grimoires, particularly the Keys of Solomon, to which I am the sole legitimate heir. You can find an account of some of my work in this area at http://www.livejournal.com/users/imperialarts/

I also maintain the www.truthaboutmagic.com site, which represents some basic non-specialized occult instructions in a user-friendly format.

I look forward to participation here.
