Thats right, and I gotta say their gods are very hard to find, probably the most elusive out there.

Hello, everyone! You can call me Ess, and Iām a college student living in the USA. Itās a pleasure to meet you all!
Iāll try to keep this short and sweet:
I have little practical experience in magick. While I dabbled in tarot and astrology in the past (not without substantial doubts as to whether it was legit or not), and had someā¦ interesting experiences throughout my life that I struggle to explain (a prophetic dream, seeing a ghost/shadow person/SOMETHING, I just officially started my journey a few months ago. After some interesting dreams, a synchronicity, remembering weird experiences I and people I know have had, and a seemingly successful ritual/evocation (of a kind, I guess), Iāve realized that my previous materialist, āmagick/spirits/deities isnāt/arenāt real and youāre crazy/stupid if you think it isā viewpoint may not hold as much weight as I thought.
My current interests are divination, working with spirits/deities (esp. entities like Lucifer and Lilith, who Iāve always had somewhat of an affinity for), sigil magick, and learning more about my selves. You know, my higher self, my shadow self, and any past lives I mightāve had. I want to learn how to astral project and strengthen my clairsenses, as well, so I can do all of the above things more efficiently.
Iām currently struggling with figuring out what, exactly, I hope to accomplish, magick-wise. Do I want to be a white magician? A black magician? A gray magician? Am I better off following the RHP or the LHP (Iām leaning towards that latter)? And yes, I know these are arbitrary distinctions, but they have their uses. Iām also having someā¦ I donāt know, philosophical/emotional issues with all of this? Iām struggling to overcome some nihilistic (?) and physicalist/materialist beliefs, as well as quelling some existential fears/doubts. Just kindaā¦ in a rut, I guess. Iām working on it, though. Slowly but surely, Iām working on itā¦
Anyway, I look forward to learning from and interacting with you all!

Hello, My name is Phil, I am just your average 28 year old guy. Iāve been studying meta for a little over 9 years now. Letās see, I spend my days in the pursuit of knowledge, whether it be from books, people, or personal experience. I have a deep love for music and practice vibrational magicās. Meaning, singing and playing instruments are key in my practices. I have been spending the last 5 years studying the astral and such on my own and am seeking more information on the plane from other points of view. Currently I am struggling with Insomnia, and for personal reasons seek to learn and meet astral beings to aide me in finally overcoming my insomnia. Trust me, Iāve tried so many things, meta is my last ditch effort on that front.

Hello everyone. Iām a bit on the reserved and shy side when I am not used to my surroundings. I donāt have or use a magick name but you guys can use my given name,Theresa, or you can call me Tess. Iām not comfortable with pictures yet. Maybe in the future. I feel pulls to many kinds of Magick that I feel are tied into my past lives. I have ties into Nordic, Mongolian, Germanic, Slavic, Peruvian, and rootwork type practices. I have a little bit of knowledge where demons, devils and angelics are concerned. I was raised southern Christian but we were not devote. In my teen years, my friend and I explored Wicca a bit but it was not home for me. Now, at 37, I donāt look for a specific label or box. Through a series ofā¦circumstancesā¦I find myself needing more knowledge to arm myself in my current situation. I am hoping to find solutions and information to be able to help myself into a better position. I think that mostly covers my current ambitions and struggles.

Welcome @ShadowDragon
Where are you from?
Do you have any practical experience in magick, other than your teen foray into Wicca?
If so, what do you practice, and how long have you practiced it?

I live in Alabama now. Yes, Iāve had some experience in Magick for the last 8yrs but I canāt really label it as a particular practice. Iāve done basic spells and rituals, interacted with Elementals, spirits and a few other creatures. Contracts and pacts, things of that nature I donāt have much personal experience with. My husband does and has been immersed at a higher level for most of his 40+ years of life. But that is where the problem lies. He has pulled me into things without my being aware. Now that things are coming to light, Iām here trying to learn as much as I can.

Iām not intentionally trying to be vague. I really am trying to figure out how best to relay what little bit I do know. Or I should say āwhat I think I knowā. Spells Iāve done are mostly candle type spells. Iāve made my own dressing or conditioning oils for the candles used in some of the spells. Most spells were protection, seeing truth, health, remove blockages, chakra work. Iāve used a mirror box type deal when it was necessary. That was very successful. Iāve made my own Tar Water and used it with decent success. I think after typing this, my experience is mostly rootwork/conjure type stuff. I have done astral travel quite a bit but am finding a lot of difficulty controlling that.

Thank you very much.
Hello everyone I just joined a few mins ago. I have been a fan of ea Koetting and other creators of BCALG for a few years. my magic name is ballam amon.
ironically my real one is after the Greek god of war. I practice a variety of pagan practices but lean mostly towards spiritual satanism.
I decided I should make an account because I have a thirst for eaās content which youtube no longer provides.
I am not seeking help from anyone beyond the major figures and the entities themselves.
but ambitions would include wanting to become a creator myself within this path
as well as music and being the best version of myself I can be.

I am from Ohio.
I have been practicing seriously for about 3 years but fascinated with the forbidden since about 12. I am currently 19.
my main systems would be Luciferian/satanic spiritualism Norse Paganism and Hinduism.
I dabble in others such as Egyptian and chaos magic but those first 3 are what I am connected the most to.
I practice meditation, rituals, and the common works frequently.
I am the most spiritual person I know in my personal life which kinda sucks.
Iāve read the bible more than some pastors lol.
before I got into the left-hand path. I was a devotee of the Hindu god of destruction Shiva.
one day I just came across one of Fordās books wisdom of Eosphoros and thus began my LHP journey.
A fun fact is shiva wound not come to me until after my experience with seeing the dragonās eye as well as many others.
I donāt consider my spirituality to have been serious until my first contact with Lucifer
feeling him in the room with me and soon after awakening within me after that point it took off into something of major fascination
and removed the skepticism from my mind of whether spirituality is bs or not.
the signs leave little room for doubt lol.
I have currently been doing a working with Lucifer Samael and Satan and it has been amazing so far.

Sorry, I saw the first post & jumped right in & didnāt realize I had to introduce myself LOL
I donāt really have a majick name as Iām just starting out. I chose Sensual Mystic to start.
Iāve been studying spirituality since '92 (off & on) when I became spiritually conscious.
I never dipped into the occult b/c something was stopping me & itās rarely ever mentioned in the spiritual books I learned from.
Now Iām ready & am trying to push myself to learn this as thereās still a bit of a block.
I want to take it slowly because Iāve heard stories that if you arenāt careful, you can harm yourself. Supposedly even the most seasoned witch can.
I am sure Iāve been a witch in at least 2 previous lifetimes. Iād love for someone to help me do a past life regression.
I want to study the old ancient traditions, not the more modern religious ones. I donāt believe in ANY religion. To me religion is a control mechanism meant to segregate humanity.
Iām currently trying to uncross myself. That is THE most important goal of mine right now including healing my mind and bodyā¦
After trying to find information about curses (being crossed is different from what I understand) & everyone telling me thereās no such thing, I finally came across real majick that says otherwise. NEVER doubt your intuition & let others tell you what to think.
I learned years ago that you can even be cursed (or have a generational trauma) from a generational curse. WOW.
Then I want to increase my flow of money so I can also help others. This is very important to me as itās my belief that we need to work on our own issues, learn how to love & respect ourselves & then help others to do the same.
I also need to finally find a mate or two where we are compatible, have the same similar values, goals, interests, & we both study how to communicate well & have a healthy relationship.
My current struggle is my health, being able to find like minded friends & keeping them, getting back home to the states & find a home I can afford to rent & bringing in the money to pay for what I need.
My other ambition is to help others create, help build or join communities based on FREEDOM, Natural Law.
I look forward to learning & growing.
Thank you for listening.

Thank you. Thatās kind of you to say.
@SensualMystic Please familiarize yourself with the forums COVID-19 posting guidelines. Iāve flagged your response for the mods to review because the topic is highly controversial and edges the topic of politics which falls also under certain guidelines.

Iām interested in western occult, ceremonial magick.
I like divination methods like Tarot and Astrology. I got few good evocations behind me including Beliar, Halathor, Paimon, Raphael, Buer, Michael.
I have difficulties in working with Pagan Pantheons, since there energies feel weaker for me than for example energies of Infernals and Celestials.
Currently I work with 5 Spirits: Sandalphon, Zadkiel, Beliar, Lucifuge Rofocale and Sidragosum.
