Hello all! After reading on the forum for about a month, Iāve finally decided to join. I donāt typically join forums, pretty rare for me (itās been about 10 years or so since Iāve joined a forum, so go easy on my basic mistakes like formatting or embedding). Iām usually quite private and reserved, but I can make an exception for my introduction. My username is from a Socrates quote. I consider myself an eternal student/researcher of whatever catches my interest and will ceaselessly learn about said subject until all or most information has been exhausted. So I know how to use search functions well 
Iām from the US west coast, have lived on the west coast my whole life. An additional bit; Iām not religious by any means, never really have been because I feel thereās not one right answer to all of this, Iām more spiritual in general than anything. Though Iāve had numerous spiritual and paranormal experiences throughout my entire life which has kind of led me to the occult/magick/here over time. Iāve tried to rationalize a good chunk of it up until this point, in which I now accept it as reality.
As far as practicing magick of any sort I wouldnāt really say I have practiced or have practical experience much or at all, pretty new overall. Though I have ādabbledā a few years ago with cartomancy or scrying with a mirror (The latter of which spooked me at the time and I kind of quit the scrying after the first attempt due to a sudden presence), which gave results to me and showed that I have at least some ability with divination and such. I have recently discovered that Iāve been able to manipulate my energies since I was 11 - 12 (now ~29, better late than never I suppose), but didnāt know what it was, that it had a purpose or how to get better at it until recently. My senses suck, but since Iāve learned about them, I feel Iāve already gotten better at some senses like clairsentience and clairaudience.
I donāt have any strict adherence to any magick systems or traditions, I donāt believe the traditional western religious dogma/values; like demons/daemons/others are automatically evil or such as entities, and much like human individuals, are unique and will not be feared and be treated with respect until given a reason not to. I believe that if I can see others getting results and perhaps if I myself get results if Iām interested enough, why limit myself to one system? I donāt seem to have a focus on a certain kind of magick at the moment, Iāll probably make my rounds to most things in some respect eventually, as I feel I am on an unstoppable path now.
I honestly owe this ātrue and final awakeningā if you will, to @anon97554939 and her servitor, Luna. I donāt remember exactly how I stumbled upon the website or the topic, but it changed everything for me within 5 minutes of summoning Luna for the first time about a month ago. It was like a gigantic weight was lifted up off of me and things have been going much much better for me ever since. I always thank Luna after each summoning (which I will now do weekly instead of daily since things have settled down) and tell them that thereās never going to be a way I can repay them enough for what theyāve done for me. Pretty sure I had a nasty neg attached to me or at least my house or something that I think had persisted for quite some time. Both of you have my eternal thanks 
Now Iām not really an ambitious person, I do what I do, that is all. My only real struggle is time. Thereās NEVER enough timeā¦ I typically have several to a dozen or more tabs open as I read/learn about and investigate things, and it may take days for them all to be closed, they stay open usually until Iāve learned all I can. Eternal student and all
I hope thatās a good enough introduction. Sorry about the novel, I see most donāt post such long introductions, I just tend to pack detail into anything I write. Maybe youāll see me around.
