I started in the 5th grade ā¦when i had no idea what the occult actually means, but i read more and more. And on it went, and slowly learned more.
During university years I received formal training and proper initiation in polytheism, specifically religio romana. I am a sacerdota of Dis Pater. This doesnāt mean necromancy, more like communication with the dead, guidance before and after they pass, rites to appease the dead, paralipomena rites (offering food to the dead).
Anyway, I always had years when I would be the calm witch, manifest and let be, and years when I took everything more seriously and went properly dark. Our environment does influence our behaviour.
Spells and hexes - i worked with them more, but I am selective.
Voodoo/hoodoo - i was allowed at some point to observe some practices within a group and was told not to meddle with the loa, which I respect.
I am familiar with gypsy spells and curses, most of my designs follow this tradition.
After about 4 years of experimenting with servitors, I think what I manage to create are pretty decent.
I am now much interested in becoming more balanced than those with strong energies, perhaps untrained in the occult, but with pestering potential, who try to attack and disturb me. I also hope to make some friends along the road.
I am E from the Philippines. Started my magickal journey with Damon Brandās Wealth Magick and became interested with GOM books ever since. Magick never fails. I just finished my first Goetic demon ritual using Demons of Magick Ritual and wrote my petition to Andras. I am glad to be evolving and was led to this path.
Hi, Iām just here because I was directed to go here for intro
39, name is Ash, just passing through.
I like getting alt views in the forum on topics pertaining to my journey between times, lover of learning the hard way, apparently.
Thanks for having me.
Iām from the South. I have a tad experience in magick, no set traditions or daily practice but currently in a cocoon in a dark place and probably need to start doing something daily. Iāve done a little of all, but I kinda steer clear of things that make me feel like Harry Potter. Because in what little experience I have, Iāve found that sometimes the simplest methods yield the greatest results. I donāt have a set way and actually have stepped back from magick in order to just chill out. Sometimes we need that. My areas of interest vary according to my needs and personal experiences as well as thirst for answers on no set topics, really. My mind fluctuates greatly from moment to moment.
Point in case, I woke up this morning and jokingly wanted to look at mental health flowchart memes and found this, instead.
I laughed so it worked and I never found what I thought I was first looking for. Same understanding applied to matters of a spiritual nature and searchings of that type, as in physical to spiritual parallels that can be applied either way and yet still ātrueā. So I hope I answered your questions correctly.
There are not any specific answers to what you ask in my personal case. Itās a little bit of ALL.
Iām definitely something vague.
Lol
I mostly donāt do any magick rn as I said.
Couple years or so. Practicing what? Nothing specific. This and that. Whatever I felt like diving into at the moment I guess. I like to keep things simple. Short and sweet.
Started practicing in 2021 during the pandemic. I donāt have any experiences outside of GOM. What I am interested now is working with the demons. I did my first petition with Andras. There was a momentary flicker on the candle flame calling the Shem Angel, and the white lines on sigil disappearing but nothing scary. I also notice how I always tend to sleep longer after doing rituals concerning Angels and Demons, especially when it is baneful magick. I feel at peace whenever I perform magick. Itās like a feeling of having a hero to rely on when bullies wronged you.
Hi:D(sorry for any mistakes English isnāt my first language)
my name is Beatrice. I am from Roumania. I am 16 years old. I am interested in Goetia demons, demons in general, divinisation and crystals. I was raised in a very catholic comunity and house, my parents are pretty stricts about religion. I donāt follow any tradition or sistem. I dont have any experience, exept that I invoked Glasya Labolas for a biology exam, and it worked.
Nice to meet you all:D
Hey im a new beginner to practicing the occult, although i have researched it for many years, ive recently had a calling it feels to sorath the sun demon , could anyone confirm this for me, that he is trying to contact me? i feel its the right path to take, should i be listening to invocations on youtube or perform an actual ritual, or just simply stare at the sigil and call out to him? thank you
Hello!
Iām Aya. Iām 20 years old. Iāve been lurking on this forum for years now and i finally felt called to make an account. Iāve always been interested in the occult and I began learning and practicing quite early in life. I mostly have experience in chaos magick but I have worked with a few entities here and there. Iām not really interested in limiting myself to a specific tradition or system but I would like to learn more about the different ones there are.
By magical interests, I didnāt mean specific systems but things like evocation, sigils, servitors, etc. Most people have a certain area they are keenly interested in learning more about.
Greetings To You Dear Sir Timothy. My Name is Azazel, I am 17 years old. For long enough now I have been interested in Witchcraft, Astral Projection, and Demonic Possession, but I have barley scratched the surface of Witchcraft fue to my Strict Christian Parents and inability to concentrate or stay consistent with anything, I havenāt had very many experiences with the spirit realm but I want to, I intend on Practicing Satanic Witchcraft, and Summoning Demons, I have no practical experience with Magick, I am from Berkeley California but I live in Concord California now.
Hi! My nameās Felix, and Iām a witch of about 3 or 4 years.
Yes, I follow Luciferianism, because itās what I most relate to
I donāt know what this question means/canāt process it fast enough lol
Iām from Oklahomaaaaaa
Current ambitions would be to just research and find out more about protection magic, as itās what Iām struggling on, and deep dive into the origins of Luciferianism to better enlighten myself on the topic <3
Hi everyone, my name is Unseen. Sorry for taking so long to properly introduce myself.
Although Iāve technically been practicing for a few years now, I only really started to take Magick seriously about four months ago.
The only real tradition I follow is animism, as I believe holding an animistic perspective allows me the highest degree of flexibility to interface with and learn from spirits from all over.
Along with my animistic practice, Iām currently working my way through Franz Bardonās IIH and have made it about half way through step 3. Iām also preparing and consecrating the tools necessary to work through the Grimoirum Verum.
In regard to practical experience, I engage in daily routine meditation, energy work, visualization, ritual, offerings, and occasional conjurations.
My long term goals are to better myself in every way imaginable and to develop my relationships with, as well as grow alongside the spirits whom Iām called to.
Iām looking forward to meeting and discussing with all of you lovely folk here on this forum as well. Cheers!
Hello. I am very into divination (and I like to believe I am decent at it) and recently been dipping my toes into spellwork. I donāt really follow a tradition but I am open to learning more. I do spells to mainly benefit myself in some way.
