Hello.

I'm not exactly new around here, but this is my first time posting. I often scour the old posts for vital information or opinions and such. I felt it was time to start participating rather than just leeching off this place.

As for my status as a practitioner I am an active participant who is currently learning and experimenting with various magickal systems and beliefs. I study mythology as well.

My first exposure to the occult was when I was about 10 and we first got the internet. Needless to say all the little rituals I tried had no effect and I put it aside for a year or two before I realized I had only read the methods and not the ideas behind them.

After that I looked deeply into wicca and finding it was not my cup of tea, wandered around for a bit in the mythologies of rome, greece, asia and other teutonic cultures. The the fated day. when I was about 16 I went to the local market and there was a table full of books. I like ot read so I started to go through them. Lo and behold! The Black Arts by Cavendish was there as well as the Satanic Bible and other old books on witchcraft as well as a few on ritual magick.

And thus began my quest. :)

I was happy to find a local 'witch' as he prefers to be called who was helpful (and my age as well). I later moved in with him and his girlfriend who is also, for the lack of a better word, a witch. It's a nice place to be, totally supportive and we can share strange xperiences without worrying if we are believed.

Myself, I suppose I'm a magician...I like the old spelling. But really, I don't care about titles or any of the hulabaloo. Witch, wizard, sorcerer, magician, druid...I realize they can be defined as different things, but I could care less what other people call me, not to seem arrogant.

Anyway, at the moment I'm working on expanding my libraries (virtual and physical) as well as seeking out new material. I've studied several of the old grimoires already, as well as a few of the more...worth while modern publications on magick as awhole.

I've got the theory down pat, but I'm just starting to get deeply into the practice. Meditation for 20 minutes a day...or ususally. I try. It's hard to remember sometimes and other tiems I get restless. Other than that, little things. Just tweaking the world so I get to places on time, so and and such forth.

But I'm pleased to be here! I'll probably ask lots of questions when I don't understand something or don't know something. But I'll also give my insight and opinion if they apply to whatever topic I find!

Pax,
-jabberwock

PS: Please forgive the spelling mistakes if there are any.

By a route obscure and lonely,
Haunted by ill angels only,
Where an Eidolon, named NIGHT,
On a black throne reigns upright,
I have reached these lands but newly
From an ultimate dim Thule-
From a wild clime that lieth, sublime,
Out of SPACE- out of TIME.
