This is a fictional term from the television series The Vampire Diaries. It tells us nothing at all about what you actually practice.

Hey guys, name is Inri I Don’t have a magickal name. I’m interested in western magick. I would say that I’m currently very interested in mastering lucid dreaming, I think it is such a big part of one’s magical practice. For my struggles I would say my wife has a really big choke hold on me on proceeding with my magical practices, it’s really hard being with someone that is not in touch with the other side or that is even aware of it, but she brings me so much joy so I can’t let go. She is the only person I have, I have pushed away everyone else due to the fact that I can’t surround myself with people that are superficial.

What are your areas of interest besides lucid dreaming?

Hello. I’m Paul. My magick name is Gaery. I’m from the United States. Reasons I’d like to keep personal for now drew me to the occult. Currently, I’m one disgruntled Catholic Christian who is trying to cut through the BS of Catholic traditions/misinterpretations/etc, even though the Catholic Church keeps your Baptism on their records whether you are an active Catholic or not .

I have no prior experience in magick; I started exploring it last year, so my struggles would be actually knowing when I’ve contacted spirits via sigil magic.

Among other things, my goals in magick are to actually progress enough to see and hear spirits, master the guitar (and other instruments), build a successful business, and build and then master my magickal skills; a long path indeed.

I currently live in Texas, I do have a bit of experience with ceremonial magick, Its always on and off but for the past 6 months I’ve been practicing it. I’ve been doing research on the occult and anything esoteric I would say for the past 2 years. I would say the golden dawn system is what I follow,their stuff is pretty practical and there is just lots of information on it. I do have an interest in anything dragocian related, also invoking, but i just want to focus on lucid dreaming just so I won’t have to worry about ā€œoh am I really getting in contact with so and soā€ I imagine the dream plane or astral is the way to go when doing anything magical, and if you are having magical experience’s in these other planes it will just always just reflect in the ā€œreal worldā€.

Hello,
Im Aceu
Im pretty new to witchcraft
And im interested in demonology
I want to excel more in summoning and learn in this forum

Hello!

I’m Hidden_Werewolf - but just Hidden is fine!

I happened across this forum after a meditation where the name ā€˜Belial’ kept repeating to me - but whenever I got results for the more masculine energies/titles, I got the feeling that wasn’t quite right. Eventually I stumbled across a comment on here that said that Belial could appear as feminine - so I stayed and had a good poke around.

As for magick history… not too much outside of the one incident a few months ago of grounding myself [and probably focusing too much on that] at work and channeling a message to a colleague from her relatives who had passed. Haven’t been able to replicate it though. I am also getting into reading Tarot, having a feel for intuitive reading than from the guidebook.

For the moment, I just want to learn about how to contact spirits safely - my interests lean towards channeling/possession - and a little bit of summoning demons with their due respect as I believe some could help me further enhance my abilities.

I do struggle with procrastination and a ā€˜I’ll do X instead, then do Y’ - but totally forget about Y. I can also get engrossed in topics for months at a time, then they seem to go completely out of the window never to be seen again.

See you all around!

Welcome @Mirrored_Werewolf

Where are you from?

How long have you been practicing channeling?

Do you follow any particular system or tradition?

Thank you!

I’m from the West Midlands in England. I thought I’d written that in my introduction, but clearly not!

I have never really practiced channeling up until that moment, instead I had been learning about my energy and how to ground myself, so I think that combination just made me more ā€˜open’ to whoever was out there. I do try and keep up a daily meditation (used to be monthly, so I’d say for about a year now?), just to give myself some breathing space and also time to try and work on myself. I have to say I’ve become less anxious since I’ve taken this on. I don’t have any other experiences, so never tried any practical magick - some because I don’t have much privacy at home, but only recently I’ve become more interested in seeing what could be done to better my life.

I used to follow the Egyptian pantheon as a part of Kemetic Orthodoxy for about two or three years. But I am not much in touch with my deities, Sobek and Bast, as much as I used to be, and the structure of the religion didn’t really work with me.

i have been practicing december of 2018

I’m 59yrs old man from GB and I have been practicing right hand path or what you called white magic for many years with great experience before I decided to test the left hand path.

I only tested left hand path because I needed a better life like every other person before I depart from this world and luckily my wishes was granted.

@Denni I have moved your intro to the Intros thread… thank you for responding to @DarkestKnight’s post here:

Welcome to the forum! So what do you have in your sights now?
