Whow... (IMG:
style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) good post, thank you...damn I feel stupid right now there is so much knowledge and so little time. I feel like I'm in front of a crossroad with a hundred thousand ways to go but close to no knowledge about any of them.
It baffles me when people like you post and know so much, I can't understand how you got started and who guided you at first. As the saying goes when the student is ready the mentor will appear one can only wait, gain more knowledge and hope.
The nickname stuck to me from when I was younger (IMG:

You are right about invoking without being ready, it happened to me...but I'm always precautions and I learned how to banish first. I also made a spell that worked but had the exact opposite and also a different effect, that was weird...
I read some of Crowley's work and I liked it, powerful and insightful work I find it difficult to put in practice that's all but that is due to my lack of experience. So your expertise is the Astral field? How long have you been studying?
Thank you for the encouragement I won't give up because I feel I should do this...

Ah I never had a guide really but I used to send alot of PMs annoying people for advice here ha.
I wouldn't say I'm good enough at any branch to have an expertise, each branch of magic gives an advantage when pushing the boundaries on my limits with other branches. Astral work is not something I'm really good at. I tried to work with the astral but I had an experience early on beyond what I was really qualified to deal with, afterwards I felt I had to re-evaluate where I was. Since then I have learned astrology and done dream work as prerequisites. I currently am working with basic Goetia work, and making a "memory palace". After a few more months I will probably move onto astral work, once my memory palace is more developed.
If you're interesting in anything particular I'm sure either myself or anyone here would be happy to discuss it. Looking up old posts was helpful to me, particularly Vagrant Dreamer's and Imperial Art's. I have a thread right now in the evocation section that I keep updated with my Goetic evocations. I can get behind on updating it sometimes (like now) but I'll be adding new stuff as I get time and as I do it.
Anyway I have been practicing magic seriously for about three years now, it's too fun for me to give up lol. Goodluck, I'm sure you'll do fine.
