Well, since I am only roleplaying anyway, apparently, so I can say I am high leveled and get away with it.

Thereās no levels, you summon that being when you feel like youāre ready lol. Not when someone thinks you have to be something they made up to do it lol.

@anon48079295 agree 
There are no levels, there is only knowledge, and the pursuit of it.

Dunno if I have managed to comment yet, but there isnāt really a level cap to measure yourself against. Thereās no true limit here.

Iām definitely Supreme Overlord.
(Honestly I donāt believe in levels everyone has different things they are better at and can tap into better, while others have to work harder at it, I know my strength and weakness and Iām still learning, as I believe everyone should do)

Everyone you meet is your teacher, they either teach you what to do or what not to do. Either way Iām grateful for itā¦

Well, if you are playing Skyrim on an xbox console, press Y, going up to skills, and your level will be on the top of the screen towards the center.
All jokes aside, unless you are in an order that has a degree system, there is no level are far as far as working magic goes. The more you practice and learn from it, the stronger youāll get. Best way to see where you are at is to experiment whatever ātypeā of magic you are working with and make a record of it as well as the results (or lack of) that came from it. As time passes, you could notice how far you have progressed as a magician. But I am babbling now. Just my two cents. I hope this helps in some way.

I really like your mentality. Thatās an excellent point. There seems to be so much to learn and such a variety of Magick out there that many are at different levels in different areas. We can learn from many if we apply the lessons we learn.

I agree. One thing that kept me from studying ritual Magick for years was that so many people I knew seemed to try to make it into a social club or clique. I get that belonging to a tribe is a basic human need, but I had no idea that there was something other than Orders (which felt too much like church to me) until I found BALG.
In my still fairly brief time on here I have seen what I believe are many master Mages (who I wonāt tag because they are probably very busy) who have used Magick to do amazing things. I have also read some posts on here that feel like someone was LARPing (I.e. claiming they could make Shazam and superheroes appear in the flesh to do battle or have tea time with all the Gods one day after starting). I think some want attention but most on here seem to be generally interested in growth which I really appreciate.
Iām pretty sure even the master mages would admit that they learn new things all the time. Everyone does. Having a mentor can be very useful. But, the need for an official hierarchy or āLevelā that prevents how far someone can advance, feels like a group that just has unaddressed insecurity issues. But thatās just my opinion. Excelsior!

Even fantasists may be having useful-for-them communion with internal archetypes, and figuring out conflicts and stuff. I mean itās not always great when they dominate a thread and start laying down the law, but overall, people usually handle that pretty well if someone tries, and the value of personal roleplay can be very real to the person doing it.
Very little different, substantially, to Creating A "Cabinet Of Invisible Counselors". 
Society works really hard to crush people, sometimes the psychologically-necessary reaction to that can look a bit weird to outsiders.
Wise, wise words.

Thatās a good point. One other thing I appreciate about the people, spirits, superheroes, gods, etc. on BALG is that people are pretty chill for the most part and encouraging of others to find themselves. I believe (IMHO) that many people who even have mental illnesses could find those improve with Magick and studies of the mind. I wish some of my other friends would research some of this but so many are conditioned to be scared of Magick (cos Ermagherd! Itās the Devil!!! )
From my continuing (exhaustive?) research of the BALG archives, Iāve also noticed that those rare ones who do become abusive on here donāt last long thanks to you and other hardworking folks efforts on here. Thanks for that. BALG is a pretty nice place.
