First, you have created one of the most beautiful forums I have yet seen. Well done.

Second, I was forced to give a user name I've not used in years. I chose the name Derdekea when I was just beginning my journey about six years ago, and was posting in my first occult forum about ceremonial magic. A great deal has changed since then. Many twists and turns. Many life lessons. Derdekea doesn't quite fit anymore, but I like to choose names that others may know me by - just in case we run into each other again. It's kind of odd, using it again. I find myself reflecting on how far I have come. It's remarkable.

Anyway, enough of that.

I am an initiate of the Left-Hand Path. I hope to one day join the Temple of Set, as they are the only organization with ideals that resonate with my own. I am at a very interesting point in my life; I recently had an epiphany about the nature of magic as it pertains to me, and I expect it to change my life very dramatically if I can maintain the energy to allow such a transformation.

Should be fun.

Looking forward to talking with you all.
