Paradigm Creation, Deliniations on new paradigm formation and implementation Options

Hello everybody, I go by Ouroboros or just "Ouro" by those who know me in and out of various forums and IM chats from time to time. I decided today that it would be a good time for me to come out of the woodwork as it were, and contribute my views here....

I am extremely ecclectic spiritually, and draw a lot of inspiration from Chaos Magic, Ritual Magick, traditional mythology and folklore, demonology, and countless pop-culture paradigms. Nonetheless, I feel that my harmonizing with most traditional paradigms to be either quite difficult, or not something I would desire to ascribe to, other than to help guide others in such paths. Thus far, I have managed to manifest my own sacred beliefs and methodologies, along with a fairly indepth pantheon and mythos. The name I have given for my pantheon is The Yalagos, and my website is my little online shrine to the incomplete writings I have transfered to digital media; it is called The Sanctum of Yalagos

Listed on my site are three sections: Mythos, Sophos, and Praxos
(Story, Philosophy, and Ritual). Mythos explains the basic formation of the gods and goddesses and their general purpose in existance, with the beginnings of explanations for natural phenominon and the human condition. Sophos elaborates further on the ideas introduced in my Mythos, by outlining not only the nature of existance, but ethical concerns, and the afterlife. Praxos lists basic correspondences of my deities, and will eventually expound on my ritual methodology, ordinances of faith, and maybe even lifestyle... ya never know

I reccomend that any who might be interested in attempting something like this would visit my website and take a look. It's not the best website, but tripod has fairly decent and flexible webpage tools, so it's by no means black and white

Ouro,

Interesting idea...

Have you done any Work within your new Paradigm? If so, does it differ from your more "traditional" work?

I'm interested in how this all works out for you. Keep us updated. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

As a matter of fact, I have done quite a bit of work with my new paradigm. I have invoked several of the deities from my pantheon, and have worked to form stronger bonds with them. It differs from my more traditional works in the past because it not only is far more personal, but it possesses a far greater intensity of experience. However, it is similar to tradition in that there are still the same basic rules to follow when working with divine beings, and common-sense rules of how one should address magick and ritual properly.

After a lengthy absence from the board due to both work, social, and personal responsibilties, I have come back to share with all of you that I have indeed expanded on the mythology I have been working on for almost 2 years now. I took several breaks to assess my spiritual priorities, and even explored other traditions to see if they might hold promise for some other form of spiritual expression, but it has already been chosen for me - so I can't exactly walk away from it.

I have expanded my once meager mythology into a pantheon of 29 deities, complete with well-defined correspondences and a solid world mythology as well.
For any that are interested, I have posted my cumulative workings online at a new website I created:
The Ouroboros Sanctum - The Yalagos Mythos

Thanks, I love randominity and such!

I'm now trying to work to expand it more symbolically, and I might end up creating a divinatory system.
