Magickal paths you've studied/practice:

Goetia (well, there were some negatives but it has been more good than bad, no I'm not a traditionalist, and given how magic seems to work for me, I doubt following anything to the letter would work)

Other paths of interest:
I've always been interested in other cultures and other paths, but as interesting and fun as some other things may seem, I always think about “practical magic for the westerner surrounded by a bunch of skeptics.”

Do you practice divination? If so, which form?:

Tarot

I tend to pick up a lot of emotions and stuff around me, sometimes I think its more of a pain than a talent.

Favorite television show:

Do you have any hobbies?
Drawing writing, baking ( I always worry the spirits will make me fat though with the stuff I bake) Computer games playing them and writing them(I like the old school 2d kind, game play is more important to me than fancy graphics although graphics are nice)

Anything else you wanna tell us?
I had to register twice here. The first time I wasn't allowed to post anything, so I had to reapply. I consider myself to be very persistent about getting what I want, even when other people want to tell me things like “thats impossible, or worse yet, “thats not realistic” I think it is harder for someone who is a first generation magic practitioner like myself than someone who has had it in their family for years. Fortunately, with the explosion of new occult books/paths, and teenagers who find magic now, I know I am not alone in this.

Feed my will to feel my moment drawing way outside the lines...." (Complete Lateralus)

Do you have any hobbies? collecting semiprecious gemstones

Anything else you wanna tell us?[/b] no:)

=============

Magickal paths you've studied/practice: I got into magick through Wicca, but that was only for a short while; I switch to Ceremonial Magick.

Other paths of interest: Psionics lately (is that even a path?) and kaos magick.

Do you practice divination? If so, which form?: Tarot. I want to learn pendulum too (that reminds me, I still need to buy that silver ring for this while the economy is still somewhat stable over here...)

Do you have psychic talents? I don't think so...

+===+

Favorite poet: Lucian Blaga, John Milton, Goethe.

Favorite musical artist or band: *thinks* I don't really pay attention to bands (just songs), but... well, japanese people. Kokia, Uverworld, L'Arc~en~Ciel. Where I don't understand the lyrics right away. I also like classical music, like Beethoven or Schubert.

Favorite book/s: American Gods by Neil Gaiman, Discworld by Terry Pratchett.

Favorite film/s: The King and the Clown, Lord of the Rings, City of Angels / Spirited Away, The End of Evangelion, The Dog of the Flanders (1999).

Favorite quote: "One fatal tree there stands of Knowledge called, Forbidden them to taste: Knowledge forbidden? Suspicious, reasonless. Why should their Lord Envy them that? Can it be sin to know, Can it be death? And do they only stand By ignorance, is that their happy state, The proof of their obedience and their faith?"

Favorite television show: non-anime, Torchwood. Escaflowne, The Guardian of the Sacred Spirit, Princess Tutu, Hinotori, Hikaru no Go.

Do you have any hobbies? aside from magick, I watch a lot of anime (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) and I study Physics, but I guess that's not a hobby. Sometimes I write or draw.

Anything else you wanna tell us? Nothing comes to mind.

Magickal paths you've studied/practice:
Well, I've studied Santeria, Voodoo, Chaos Magick, Shamanism, Mediums.

Other paths of interest:
I've read about Santeria and Voodoo but I really didn't like the idea of working with the Loa so I just stick with the Native American entities that I enjoy spending time with though the Voodoo magick system is really good if you want to learn how to make deals with Gods, and other entities, also good for learning the basics of offerings and possessions.

Do you practice divination? If so, which form?:
Well, I can do Tarot and some Runes, smoke work, whatever, but my heart belongs to something called apantomancy. Apantomancy is usually used for reading the common objects at hand as they are, but I find it easiest to take whatever's around and throw them much like you would with runes. Cigarette butt, dead leaf, crushed beer can, small pebbles, a bird feather, etc. It's along the lines of Chaos magick, dirt cheap and simple to use.

Do you have psychic talents?
One could find this question to be a "loaded" question because, "here's my chance at showing off my ego!" So I'll just say I have a mesh of talents that one could conceivably dub me a 'Shaman' if one so wished to do so.

+===+

Favorite poet:
Charles Bukowski is always a pretty good one.

Favorite musical artist or band:
Amon Tobin which is trance or electronica.

Favorite book/s:
Well on a Magic(k) forum I'll list my favorites in that sense: Urban Voodoo by S. Jason Black and, Christopher S. Hyatt. Prime Chaos by Phil Hine. Pacts with the Devil by Christopher S. Hyatt and S. Jason Black. Almost anything by Robert Anton Wilson.

I guess I'm in a temporal place where I'm wanting to experience magic rather than reading about it, so I've been reading Sci-fi instead (which one could consider the genera a magickal text as well).

Favorite film/s:
Fallen Angels by Wong Kar-Wai, Dark City, uhh right now I cant think of any others.

Favorite quote:
There are lots, my signature is one of them.

Favorite television show:
I don't watch it.

Do you have any hobbies?
I did Jewelry not long ago, I draw, I read, I do poetry, but not much else I guess.

Anything else you wanna tell us?
Not especially.

Anything else you wanna tell us?

This is a very cool forum. I hope to learn something new. As I have said in previous introduction threads;( at the risk of pissing a lot of people off) I find most Occultist/pagan types to be pedantic dilettantes. I am saying anyone here is. Many of you can prolly relate!I went solitary a few years ago because of this. I started with a book called Mastering Witchcraft which my father had in 1978. Been through a lot. I know this stuff is real. Even though I am "officially" Catholic, I can never leave the path because ,...well,... it won't let me. I am sure many of you know what I mean.
Peace.

Favourite film: Akira

Favourite quote: Tao k'o tao fei ch'ang tao

Favourite television show: I don't watch tv.

Do you have any hobbies? no

Anything else you wanna tell us?:
I'm a 23 year old, Caucasian, Homosexual, British (Welsh) man with three dogs, a cat, two rats, two gerbils and one boyfriend, all of whom I love dearly. I Spend most of my time studying or practising as much magick as humanly possible, and take it very seriously (although the same does not apply to myself). When not studying or practising magick, I can usually be found walking my doggies, reading or sleeping with my Boyfriend (although not one of the latter practises precludes the first). I hope to find some real insight in this forum, and look forward to discussing magickal theory and practise with you all.

Magickal paths you've studied/practice: Chaos Magic/Zen are my forte. A little of what you might call Urban Shamanism, but I wouldn't, as that usually brings up the wrong sort of connotations. I'm also well verse in classic Norse and Greek mythology/general folklore, and I've read a little bit of Crowley(like everyone). As such I've dabbled extremely lightly in Qabalah and Enochian... but pretty much just a lot of Chaos magic and walking around high in forests...

Other paths of interest: Tantra sounds kinda interesting.

Do you practice divination? If so, which form?: I'm afraid my divination abilities are very vague and hardly specific. It usually tends to come in the form of watching birds as I drive. This works well, as I live in a very rural place. Number, type, behavior and direction are all things that play into how I interpret it. However this usually only gives me vague ideas of what to expect/look for, and is mostly just to keep me entertained.

Do you have psychic talents? I doubt it.

Favorite poet: Karle Wilson Baker

Favorite musical artist or band: Ummm... this is very difficult, as I'm quite into music. I'm a big fan of Against Me! and Tom Gabel... the Avett Bros. are divine. The Sub-humans are pretty awesome if you want to go old school. I also love a lot of really small time musical acts from local cities.

Favorite book/s: Good Omens(and most other books by Neil Gaiman[Terry Pratchett is good, but I don't think I'm British enough to enjoy him properly, being American]), the Offutt collection, .... These Black Eyes.

Favorite film/s: Dead Poets Society, Pi, La Haine, Donnie Darko(O lawdy, the pop culture...), V for Vendetta (O LAWDS!!!), and (because we neeeeed it) Forrest Gump.

Favorite quote: ??? I don't think I could honestly pick any one.

Favorite television show: .... I don't really watch TV. LOST?

Do you have any hobbies? I am a primarily a writer, for fun and profit. I was a wrestler/pole vaulter in high school, but in the last two years have lost much of my old stamina. I play a lot of music/watch a lot of movies/go to a lot of shows.

Anything else you wanna tell us? Nope. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
