Allow Me To Introduce Myself. Options

I just signed up for the forum and I figured I would write briefly about my magical interests and practices. I am a long term study of the occult in most if not all of its forms. I have recently just begun formal practice and development, even though I have had a natural working and affinity with magick and many of its forms my entire life. I do not know what has taken me this long to act, but I suppose better late than never. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Currently, I am working on Shamanic journeying and trance states (primarily Celtic/Norse based), astral projection, weather working, etc. I also am working with energy on every level, but mostly psi work (telepathy, telekinesis, pyrokinesis, and human energy exchange in leeching, transformative, rehabilitative practices dealing with all 3 main aspects(emotional, mental, and physical)

I am not opposed to working with God(s) or Goddesses in the future but as of yet, I either do not have an affinity for any being specifically, or I am not yet ready in my magickal journey to deal with something so outside of my comfort zone.

Given all of this, and after all of my studies, I have found these particular paths of magick resonate with me above all others, yet I would not know how to classify myself as a practitioner? I would hate to call myself a Shaman as I do not abide by any formal or readily accepted ritual magick, nor do I worship or call upon any god-forms in my work. However, I do try to give positive appreciation to what influences I can identify in my work (mostly use "spirit" as a general modifier). So, I really don't have a descriptive source or classification of the macrocosmic power I use to augment my own... I suppose my magickal "label" will unfold in due time. Ah well.

Anyway, I hope to have some nice discussion in exchange with all who will listen. To you all, take care and be well.

Never stop seeking your own truth,

Welcome Shaper
A lot of people don't have a label that fits themselves snugly, so don't worry about it.
Have a look around and perhaps some of the threads and discussions might be of use to you.

Thanks for the greetings. Well met.

While I agree with you about labeling oneself. I suppose I wanted to also see if there were others about with a path similar to mine either in part, or as a whole. It helps to have kin nearby, when walking through the forest alone.

Take care, and be well.

only label i have is 'whacked' or maybe 'stupid idiot with a deathwish' for going about things the 'wrong way' intentionally, following the recipe i have followed since my memories began, before even the mists of the far past were raised to conceal it - finding your past life memories sometimes does not bring easing of the burden
