Do you have psychic talents? Either I do to a small degree, or I am quite deluded.

+===+

Favorite poet: Not really into poetry, but I am quite fond of Robert Browning's poem, : To the Dark Tower Childe Roland Came."

Favorite musical artist or band: I am into rock, classic rock of all types. My favorite classic rock band is Zeppelin. Favorite current bands, Wolfmother and Godsmack. I am also fond of Theory of a Dead Man and (here it comes...) Nickelback. I also enjoy some classic country... (weird combination, I know) particularly Johnny Cash and Merle Haggard.

Do you have any hobbies? Yes. I play guitar, I enjoy metal detecting and I am considering to taking up painting.

Anything else you wanna tell us? People who know me say that I am "intense," whatever that is supposed to mean.

Magickal paths you've studied/practice: haha, I realize it's pathetic that I am not sure what all this entails. I'm not heavily into the occult (or maybe I am, but not the way I think many people here are?)

Other paths of interest:

Do you practice divination? If so, which form?: in dreams, but they come rarely, and I only generally remember them moments before the event occurs

Do you have psychic talents? Yes. I speak with, hear, and see most forms from the other side on a regular basis. Angels, demons, ghosts. Several other things for which I have not names. I generally practiced this last year with a group of friends who had different talents than I to determine that I wasn't just crazy. We had one ghost tell me and my friend C the answers to a few basic questions (what is your favorite color, think of a number, things like that). He was incredibly reliable. All our answers were the same.

Magickal paths you've studied/practice: My path is Theistic Satanism, but I have, in the past, studied and/or practiced: Wicca, Ceremonial Magic, Kabbalah, aspects of Shamanism, Atheism, Demonolatry, Scientology, Chaos Magic(k) and Traditional Witchcraft.

Other paths of interest: Typhonian Tradition, Chaos Magic(k), Shamanism.

Do you practice divination? If so, which form?: Occasionally. Most readily I use L-Rods and the pendulum, although I do also use the Tarot from time to time.

Do you have psychic talents? I wouldn't call them talents, at least I don't believe that I have anything that no one else has. I experience the occasional precognitive episode and, from time to time, claircognizance.

Do you have any hobbies? Art in all forms, playing piano (I am classically trained) and bass guitar, writing music (instrumental).

Anything else you wanna tell us? Not so much at the moment.

Magickal paths you've studied/practice: I currently practice Theistic Satanism and Demonolatry, with a bit of Totemism on the side, which I guess is more of a technique than a path. I've previously studied Wicca, though not via a lineaged coven. I identified simply as an eclectic witch for many years.

Other paths of interest: Shamanism, Ceremonial Magick, Kabbalah, non-reconstructionist Northern tradition.

Do you practice divination? If so, which form?: I cast runes and do a bit of basic tarot. I'd like to try my hand at skrying.

Do you have psychic talents? No, nothing that I'd consider 'psychic' in a tangible sense. I'm mildly empathic and have good intuition upon meeting people, but nothing to a degree of clairvoyance/sentience/audience or mediumship or anything like that.

+===+

Favorite poet: none

Favorite musical artist or band: Antipop Consortium or Madlib

Favorite book/s: Robert Peterson's OBE books lately

Favorite film/s: not a big fan of movies in general, I watched sex drive the other day and it was pretty funny

Favorite quote: "Any sufficiently advanced technology appears as magic" --> explains my theory of magickal practice

Favorite television show: I watch a lot of shows, I guess deep in my heart my favorite show will always be Star Trek, I love the original but there are more episodes of TNG to keep me occupied. And of course, Stargate, but none of that SGU crap, I'm talking SG-1 and Atlantis. You can't just decide that we're more realistic in our TV these days and totally change what makes a show good on a whim.

Do you have any hobbies? Astral Projection and Dreaming is all I have time for these days. Between work and class I don't have a lot of free time.

Anything else you wanna tell us? I'll make a post.

I was reading through this and thought I'd make it "official" and contribute a profile etc.

Magickal paths you've studied/practice: Chaos Magick Theory, Zos Kia, Magical Christianity (Gareth Knight/Dion Fortune lineage),philosophical alchemy, folk craft ("witchcraft"), Wicca. A little bit of GD and a slight bit of Aurum Solis. I would call the following "mystical" paths rather than "magickal" ones: Dzogchen, Advaita Vedanta, Kashmir Shaivism, Classical Yoga, various forms of yoga related to "kundalini" activation and phenomenology.

Other paths of interest: I have a fascination with Thelema and Thelemites even though I'm not interested in practicing in that path. I am more interested in post-modern and nonchemognostic neoshamanic approaches to magic and mysticism. I've intentionally eschewed Enochian magic but I have a mind to begin dabbling with it.

Do you practice divination? If so, which form?: Not so much anymore. I used to be very skilled with Tarot and also liked the I Ching. I make pendulums but don't use them much, and I occasionally practice scrying by glaring into water.

Do you have psychic talents? Yeah. Probably.
+===+

Favorite poet: Been a long while since I've read poetry--beyond what an occultist friend or two spews out--but I used to have a bunch of favorites from the literature.

Favorite musical artist or band: Led Zeppelin currently. R&B, and Baroque music. I used to be immersed in Asian Underground/Bangla-type music.

Favorite book/s: If I had a "favorite" it would pop into my mind right away, wouldn't it? Let's say, I like the academic work and writing style of Ronald Hutton (on the history of paganism and witchcraft). I was impressed with 1984 and Down and Out in Paris and London (Orwell), Phil Hine is my favorite writer among occultists. I'm currently reading The Illluminatus! Triology and a comparative biography of Dione Fortune and Aleister Crowley. I actually have a crammed, wall-size book shelf but I haven't much patience with reading these days (outside of what I page through in doing independent research) and most of what I read (especially pertaining to occult) is flawed, redundant, and disappointing.

Favorite film/s: I'm one of those silly middle-aged women who can't get enough of Harry Potter films (or "Lucius Malfoy"). Otherwise, I go in for those Brit period pieces, like teleplays of Dickens stories.

Favorite quote: Belief is a tool etc.

Favorite television show: Television is a mind-numbing evil. Intentionally don't have cable access or TV reception, although I have taken a fascination with DVDs of the Mad Men series. (I used to watch Law and Order, Absolutely Fabulous, and the Daily Show religiously years back.)

Do you have any hobbies? I play symphonic gongs and other resonant metals and often play them with drummers while dancing about and trancing out. I write and am a bit of an independent researcher on topics related to Paganism, occultism, and mysticism, with essays here or there on the Web. I currently go by the name Soror ZSD23. Articles and chat board entries authored under the name "Dionesia La Maga" also might be floating around. I make jewelry and other crafts, incense, ointments, and magical/ritual objects, and wander into the woods where I burn sigils in gnostic trance.

Anything else you wanna tell us? I am the principle facilitator of a local group called New Aeon Lodge, which is an enclave ("coven," "grove," "circle," whatever) for locals primarily interested in post-modern Paganism and sorcery and Hermeticism. Most of its members met a year and half ago or so through a fellow who then formed an eclectic Wiccan coven. When it didn't fly and the fellow went off to wreak havoc elsewhere, the members reached out to me to reform and we did so with a completely new vision and format. I am also currently collaborating with a fellow who publishes the online journal kult of kaos. Otherwise, I am a medical editor by profession.

Magickal paths you've studied/practice: Elemental magick, shamanism, natural magick

Other paths of interest: Peace (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Do you practice divination? If so, which form?: No, but I'm planning to get into it as soon as I have the money for supplies.

Do you have psychic talents? I'm an empath and I'm working on my telepathy.

+===+

Favorite poet: Sadly, I don't read much poetry.

Favorite musical artist or band: So many... argh....

Favorite film/s: Oh dear.... again?

Favorite quote: They're in my signature (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Favorite television show: Still too many xD

Anything else you wanna tell us? Be happy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

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

Magickal paths you've studied/practice: Thelema, Hermetic Qabalah, LaVeyan Satanism, Gnosticism, Tantra

Other paths of interest: Rosicrucianism, shamanism, alchemy (both spiritual and lab), sacred geometry, ritual sex magick, automatic writing / drawing, neurotheology

Do you practice divination? If so, which form?: I read tarot and tend to put significant weight on the numerological significance of events.

Do you have psychic talents? I've been told I have some natural ability as a clairvoyant, but I've yet to develop myself.

+===+

Favorite poet: I can't pick just one, so I'll say Crowley, Jack Kerouac, W.H. Auden, and myself (I do, after all, relate immensely to my own work).

Favorite musical artist or band: Whatever I'm in the mood for, and I have broad tastes. Lately, I listen to a lot of Jeff Buckley, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, and anything Maynard James Keenan does.

Favorite book/s: The Secret of Light (Walter Russell), The Dharma Bums (Kerouac), 1984 (Orwell), The Book of Lies / The Book of the Law / The Book of Thoth / The Holy Books of Thelema (Crowley), The Bhagavad Gita, Zero: The Biography of a Dangerous Idea (Charles Seife).

Favorite film/s: Pi, Schizopolis, Fight Club, Heavenly Creatures, Jacob's Ladder, What the Bleep Do We Know, Waking Life, Mulholland Drive, Eraserhead, Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas, Dreams, Yojimbo

Favorite quote: "A red rose absorbs all colours but red; red is therefore the one colour that it is not. This Law, Reason, Time, Space, all Limitation blinds us to Truth. All that we know of Man, God, Nature, is precisely that which they are not: it is that which they throw off as repugnant." ~Crowley, The HIMOG

Favorite television show: I don't have one. My enjoyment of television is fairly incidental, and if I could never watch it again, I wouldn't miss it.

Do you have any hobbies? Yes. I am a jack-of-all-trades creator (poetry and various writing pursuits, organic and synthetic music, culinary arts, pencil & ink visual art, etc.). At present, I am the producer and vocalist for a progressive / experimental band called Taon (pronounced "down").

Anything else you wanna tell us? I gravitate towards ancient Egyptian symbolism and cosmology; I've studied every major spiritual path to some extent in an attempt to pinpoint the syncretic threads that run through them; and my overarching goal is to become a spiritual teacher (in that light, I am gradually developing my own tradition). I call myself a Hermetic witch, but I aspire to be a ceremonial magician; theurgy (especially Enochian magick and Qabalah) fascinates me.

[/quote]

Magickal paths you've studied/practice: I've studied most of them on a superficial level, but I've really delved into very few. I suppose you could say a lot of my occult beliefs found their root in chaos magic(though I don't consider myself a chaote at all), but most of my really powerful and useful ideas(whether being utilized in occult practices or not) really echo shamanism: understanding the 'spirits' and everything.

Other paths of interest: To be honest, I'm just trying to understand how Existence and "god" works. And more than reading old books on the subject I'm far more interested in hearing peoples' personal ideas and theories on the subject. Of course, seeing as how this is an occult forum, I'm also interested in the possible magical applications of said knowledge, but for me it takes a back seat.

Do you practice divination? If so, which form?: No. Although I do tend to look at certain acts as omens of a good or bad nature, but I'm pretty sure that's mostly just self-fulfilling prophecy.

Do you have psychic talents? Not that I'm aware of.

+===+

Favorite poet: I like too many to really name a favorite. The poet I like most one day might not be the one I like most the next. I know this isn't a real answer, so I'll make up for it by posting a famous poem by Rudyard Kipling that's been stuck in my head lately:
Now this is the Law of the Jungle — as old and as true as the sky
And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk the Law runneth forward and back
For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.


Favorite musical artist or band: Once again, you're taking my knees out from under me. I'm a music-kid, kind of hipster-trash. I know way too many bands to choose a favorite. I've been a lot into Saetia and Old Skin lately. I'm a pretty big fan of Fake Problems and Bloc Party. Keb Mo for you bluesy people out there. The Loved Ones/La Grecia/Kid Dynamite are always good. Simon and Garfunkel. And I've got to admit that Kanye West is a guilty pleasure.

Favorite book/s: Again, too many to really choose. I think you should be starting to notice a pattern. I can tell you that my favorite author is probably Neil Gaiman, but I really couldn't decide on a favorite story, by Gaiman or not.

Favorite film/s: And the pattern continues to the point where I can't even really name any. I like films heavy in symbolism. French surrealism is always good. I'm a big fan of comedies, except most comedies are funny. I'm a big fan of psychological thrillers, except most of them are actually boring. You see where this is going.

Favorite quote: Wow. I can't even give you one for this. Way too many to name a favorite.

Favorite television show: I don't watch a whole lot of TV. I watch comedies mainly. I've grown mildly addicted to The Mighty Boosh lately.

Do you have any hobbies? I'm an amateur writer(like everyone). I'm a musician, been in a few(terrible) bands. I'm a student and a backpack-journalist(journalist who works in all forms of multi-media), who is going to college for a mass comm degree specializing in multi-media. I like to get on iPhoto and change the levels on pictures to make them look interesting. I'm a fan of recreational drug use(Ergine, Arlone, Amyl Nitrites + people = Party), but I believe in moderation, intelligent use and responsibility.

Anything else you wanna tell us? Not particularly. I think I covered everything miscellaneous in the hobbies section.

Magickal paths you've studied/practice: aschan wicca (the moon is her lamp and she has many many names), spiritualism (as in spirit and entity communication), dimensionalism (aka the void and the causal flow)

Other paths of interest: everything and yet nothing

Do you practice divination? why look forward or backward when there is only now, and now is forever

Do you have psychic talents? i see dead people, and others that never actually lived

Favorite poet: none - i have no asthetic roots

Favorite musical artist or band: new alternitive rock and lots of eclectic genres - i am an audiophile and have mixed in clubs - i get a download every month chock full o new alternitive rock music

Favorite book/s: anything with el morya

Favorite film/s: anything with peter sellers

Favorite quote: the biggest mistake is to equate visibility with reality

Favorite television show: all long gone i'm afraid - isis (a saturday morning live action show with johanna cameron as isis) - the magician, banacek, the original night stalker series with darren mcgavin, search, the jack benny show,, the goodies (the british version, much-better than the stupid monkees)

Favorite internet: sm (of course), video game machinima (like master cheif sucks at halo)

Favorite video games (not in order): halo series, mass effect series, elder scrolls series, fallout series, call of duty series, borderlands, most dual-stick shooters unless the ai stinks or there's something the game does, or stupid rules it has, that turns me off about it

Favorite computer or game console and operating system: modded development 360, windows 7 sdk and fedora 12 linux on a dual-boot gateway notebook

Do you have any hobbies? mundane work is my hobby, and i only do it for money to fund the rest of my life - i develop character ai for video games, but i am always limited by the resources available to be able to make a real construct that genuinely acts and feels and reacts to unscripted stimuli like a human, though sometimes i can get pretty close

Anything else you wanna tell us? i come with a warning label

Favorite poet: no favorite, really. Maybe Poe, I guess. I like poetry of all types,. . but the majority of modern poetry is uninspiring. I like Otep's though.

Favorite musical artist or band: White Zombie and Apocalyptica

Favorite book/s: I dont generally read fiction, except the occasional classic lit. and poetry. And I couldn't pick a favorite non-fiction subject of interest. I read everything from health and wellness books (western and eastern), fitness and nutrition, philosophy, anatomy and physiology, psychology, ancient texts, and yoga texts, religion, and Taoism, some science, occult and new age, and all types of healing arts.

Favorite film/s: also a hard one . . . Who Framed Roger Rabbit is one, but generally I like Action/Adventure or Horror.

Favorite television show: It's a tie between a few: Burn Notice, Psych, Sons of Anarchy, Dexter, House, and NCIS

Do you have any hobbies? My instruments are currentlyi n poor condition, but I play violin and bass guitar. I'll be playing cello again once I can afford one. Plus, I sing a lot. I read. I do yoga, and I summarize/transcribe important (to me) info into my own books, in order to have the info I want all in one place. Im working on my own herbal encyclopedia, and one one mind/body/spirit practices of all sorts.

Anything else you wanna tell us? Let's see . .heritage-wise: My mother was born and raised in Ramsgate, in England (as an Anglican, but raised us Agnostic) and that side of the family is predominantly English, until you reach about 200yrs ago, when they were all mostly Scottish and some Irish (based on a geneaology search). My father was born in Brooklyn, NY and his family is predominantly German and Jewish (with some Russian and Polish) and most of his family immigrated to the US within the last century. The ones that did not immigrate moslty became Holocaust victims or have long since died of natural causes. I am married into a family mostly of Norwegian and some Native American descent. My husband was Norwegian-concieved, American-born and his Father, and that side of the family are all based in or around Oslo. Oh, and I am the third born of 7 children.
I'm a bodyworker/healer in training . . but I consider myself to always be in training. I am teaching myself German and Spanish, and plan on learning several other languages. Until I can afford quality software or classes(which should be soon because Im about to be a Nationally Certified Massage Therapist) , I am learning from books and cds alone . .so it's going slow!! I am about to enroll in Muay Thai courses . .so excited!!

People who know me say that I am "intense," whatever that is supposed to mean.

same here!! Mostly jus my lil sis says it, but it catches on!!

Anything else you wanna tell us? I have been told that I am extremely mature for my age, and that it is due to having an old soul. I wish to find out if that is true, and what the soul has been through so that I may learn from my origins.

Magickal paths you've studied/practice:
Ive only really dabbled with tarot, but i've been meditating and spiritually developing in a hermetic type of path...i think ive learned enough to actually understand, practice and appreciate Magick. Altough ive used magick innately, i think im ready to learn and grasp all that it has to offer me.

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

Do you have psychic talents?
My main psychic ability is perpetual knowledge..Facts and answers pop into my head from nowhere, and theyre true! My mother always told me when i got old enought to talk and interact (around 5) i would use difficult words in sentences. For example...im adopted...so when i was about 5, one day my mother and i saw my biological mother in public, i didnt know who she was at the time, but when we parted ways, i said to my mother "was that lady related to me or something?" My mother never taught me that word and as a five year old its not common to use in a functioning sentence with perfect cognition of the definition. <----(this story my mom tells...i dont even remember it lolz) But anyways even now, tests and quizzes are a breeze, and im 18, and very mature for my age...as you can probably tell. Aside from perpetual knowledge i also have light telepathy skills (which i wanna make stronger)
