Hi Everyone,
I havenāt been on here in a little while and it seems my old account got deleted. I have always been ādifferentā than all the people around me, kids growing up etc. I have always been able to see things before they happened, knew something was going to happen, knew what people were thinking or about to say. I was able to recite things from the past and events not having been there or even born in some instances. I dabbled in Wicca and candle magic growing up, especially as a teen and trying to get a date, lol. I realized it was my energy that was mostly controlling the outcome. Fast forward twenty years, I kind of put all that on the back burner not thinking too much into it or about it. I could still tell what some people were thinking or if someone was sick or dying. Then my girlfriend of seven years, cheated on me and destroyed my world. I looked to the spirits for help and acceptance. I tried conjuring and envoking some demons without luck until Lucifer spoke to me and let me know he was there and things would be ok. That was about 7 seven years ago and he still has my back, he has helped me through a lot of things. So I just wanted to come back inhere and say that you to him and praise him for all he has done for me and continues to do.
Sorry if I ranted onā¦

Greetings,
I believe my life led me to the path of the occult from a very early age but it took decades before finally making the jump, fast forward three years and here I am, trying to make sense of what works and what doesnāt, struggling to obtain results, Iāve been around a year ago or so but asked for my account to be deleted and lurked a bit since.

Welcome @anon44470370 Please properly introduce yourself.
Where are you from?
Practicing what, exactly?
Approximately how long have you practiced?
What was you previous account?
Hello. Iāll try to keep things abbreviated so that I can rustle around in the links and get to making coffee that Iāve put off.
Iām from the US. Ended up finding this place after looking for recipes for wormwood ointment, something about the new moon, I canāt fully recall. Iāve been practicing extremely loosely for about 25 years, Iād garner. What initially started with wicca (because there was seemingly shit all else available at the used book store that drew my at the time teenager eyes). It always sat a little too meh for me. Too biased towards the fluff. I donāt have any particular path that I follow, aside from a dedication to Hekate. Itās more of a rummage for information, pluck what feels pertinent, and go with intuition. I look at it like recipes, where unless itās baking (or in this case summoning/evo/invo), I do what feels right and it usually finds purchase. Poison path, necrmancy, general work with spirits seem to be a calling. Iāve had a clairolfaction with what Iām assuming is a very persistent spirit of air that smells distinctly like cigarette smoke and comes and goes for the past year and change. Follows me everywhere, pops up whenever, thereās no distinct timing that I can figure out.
Iām in a shit spot that seems very next to impossible to crawl out of, and oh my have I been kicked while down. The goal is to regain the power to exist again, rebuild my will and energy, and crawl out of the hellpit. Iām out of practice, suspect that Iāve got some degree of foul magick on me (yāall, itās absurd the ways that shit completely hit the fan)
Apologies if I am incorrectly using this thread, Iāve never been on a forum before haha
Iāll refer to my name as Bliss because I would like to stay anonymous
I am a Baphomet-Centric Eclectic Occultist (from the US) which to me simply means that I live my life and morally practice though Baphomet, as a balanced individual, while practicing black magick or other religions as I need to.
I have been practicing [for 2 years] as I self converted from Christianity, and am really trying to hone in on my religion once more as I unfortunately lost it but am receiving great results mentally and spiritually.
I work mostly in Invocation, meditation, and recently have been growing in Incantations as they are a nice mental challenge to perform regularly. Most of my experience stems from the Goetia, and being able to utilize their powers with utmost respect towards them, but I would not turn down the offer to work with a different religion.
My current ambition is being able to form powerful Incantation based rituals that grant great results but can be done in secrecy like I require because I am still with my Christian family which would also be my current struggle.

Hi everyone! As I probably know very little in comparison to a great many of you, I will go with the name Humiliity. Iām here to learn.
Iām in my late 50s and I live in the UK. Iāve been using Sigil Magick for at least the last ten or fifteen years now with, on balance, some good results. Some of the bigger things I have asked for have not materialised, so perhaps I have reached the limit of Sigil Magick.
Iāve recently invested in the Divination video course: slowly working my way through it, though I donāt have an inclination to try an Ouija Board or Possession just yet. When Iāve mastered this course, itās on to Soul Travel next then Evocation last.
Outwardly, I look nothing like an Adept of Magick. I have a decent full-time job, a good home and a family. I dress like a regular guy. Aside from my musical tastes (I play the electric guitar) I move freely through life and the world and manage to keep my Magick completely secret. Aināt no-oneās business but mine.
I was raised by a Christian single parent, though I never really got into that stuff myself. Every time I tried to look deeper, I found more questions than answers. Example: as a teenager, I wanted to seek my fortune (donāt most teenagers?) and was told this was sinful by millionaire businessmen and wealthy farmers at the church (apparently itās a sin to seek wealth, but not to be wealthy! Yeah, I knowā¦). Now as a mature adult Iām respectful of other peopleās beliefs as long as they donāt try and force them on me.
As I stand on the threshold of greater Magickal discoveries beyond Sigil Magick, my ambitions lean towards good health, a huge stack of cash so I can retire early and attack that bucket list, and wonderful things for my kids and grandkids. Iām sure that as I grow into Magick, that list will evolve.
Looking forward to conversing with anyone with the time to do so - always happy to learn!

Hi everyone,
I am here to introduce myself. Despite the fact that I am a new member of the forum, I am actually a silent reader for a couple of years by now. I am into the occult for roughly 13 Years now but kept my studies mostly to the theoretical research. Concerning the practical part I always kind of stuck to the nordic credo to only use magic when there is no opportunity left to change things by yourself without using it. I guess its time to start becoming more engaged in the practical part and therefore
here I am. Lets rock this! Cheers to a long and good time together!

Thanks for the warm welcome @anon21119382 
I am a german living in Sweden. What about you? 
@Forum_Germanicum sanaRo is trying to be friendly and prompt you to answer the same intro questions everybody else does. If you look at their profile and scroll all the way to their intro youāll see they already answered this also in their intro.
So for example, Iām reading this as you have occasional experience with Norse Seidr?
Are you interested in branching out into other traditions then?
Sorry everyone,
first time ever for me to be on a forum 
.
I researched the occult theoretically for 13 year now but not continuously.
In between I did practice sigil and servitor magic and tried myself in astral travel and lucid dreaming. I dont follow a tradition or a specific system. I would consider myself a chaos magician. I partially worked with the nordic pantheon but more with the Goetic spirits. My ambitions are to become more practical now and getting into astrology especially in relation to economical cycles, as well as spiritual warfare, reconnaissance and "Cheating the Ferryman" (as Anthony Peake called his book). On top I would be really interested in getting into using plants in magic and improving my invocation skills. And to answer @Mulberry s questions: I got a bit into icelandic magic (which could be considered based on Seidr) but only on the surface and yes I am always interested in learning to know new traditions and practices but without current preferences. (There cant be enough knowledge) 
. Current struggles: lack of energy (fighting parasites over here big time).
I hope this was a proper introduction this time 
Greetings everyone.

Hi there! You all can call me Reet, itās a pleasure to meet everyone and join this community. I use she/her pronouns, live in Canada, and am 20 years old. Iām new to forums as a whole (unless vaguely perusing Reddit counts? lmao) so forgive me as i try to figure this whole thing out.
Iām relatively new to practicing magic, having actively been practicing for about a year now. Iāve been taking it slow, starting with meditations and ritual baths, though my favourite forms of practice have been simmer pots. They seem to be quite effective, in my experience. I donāt stick to one particular system or tradition, deity work has fascinated me for a while and I do work with Lady Hestia, though i have not felt the draw to work with another deity quite yet. Iām looking to ramp up my experiences with magic and start casting spells beyond what iāve been doing with my simmer pots. Iāve felt a draw to magic for a long time (one of my early memories regarding the internet was in fact seeing an ad for a witches spellbook that explained the meaning of the colour of taper candles and begging my mom to buy it for me) and would like to truly deepen my connection with it. Iām joining the community to meet some more experienced people who might be able to help me along my journey, and to answer some questions iāve had. iām going to spend some time looking over posts and familiarizing myself with the community and expectations within before i make a post of my own, but iām looking forward to meeting and interacting with people!!
Thank you for having me, much love to you all!!

Hello, Iām Numinous. I have had natural abilities my whole life. I was raised christian (baptist). I dabbled with tarot cards, candle and petition magick as a young adult. As I grew I discovered mind magick, sometimes called āself hackingā. The forms I first encountered and practiced were self hypnosis and binaural soundwave meditations. Ive continued to practice those techniques for over 20 years now. As I shed my previous skin of āwashed in the bloodā christian beliefs I began studying taoism and gnosticism. For many years I considered myself a taoist gnostic but only for lack of any better term to sum up my evolving gnosis. In 2016 I became deathlynill with an autoimmune disease that put me in the hospital where the medical professionals were uncertain how I survived in my condition. I spent years after that in daily pain trying to make it through another day of work as a newly graduated nurse. I finally rebelled and went on a hunger strike against my own body in defiance of my misery. The fasting actually reset my system and all but healed me completely. I still have my rough days, but I have learned to control the process through fasting. As I realized that fasting is a very spirtual process it began my reinvigorated interest in esoteric studies. I learned about Shingon esoteric Buddhist practices, Heathen rune work and rediscovered some of my inherent abilities. As I studied more I found different forms of practice that intrigued me. At this point though I had improved a great deal, my illness had really set me back in my life in numerous ways. I still struggled and suffered a great deal. Even though things had improved I had not really accepted it. I was not satisfied with life and the way I was treated despite how hard I was trying to get by, it never seemed good enough for those around me, even strangers seemed to treat me poorly for no aparent reason over and over repeatedly. It became so bad that I expected to be treated poorly by others. I couldnāt explain it and it was making me mean. I walked around with a chip on my shoulder for not only the circumstances of my life but for the way I seemed to be mistreated by almost everyone from lifelong friends to lerfect strangers. I had enough. For one I could not ignore the fact that if it seemed literally EVERYONE had a problem with me that there must be something wrong with me. So, my decision was to keep to myself and dive into my interests of studying energy work and spirtual practices. As a part of my healing I turned towards the opposite of my upbringing which naturally led me to demonology. My rationale was that my suffering and mistreatment could be from a dark spirtual source. Initially I set out to defiantly confront my unseen aggressors, much like how I defiantly went on a hunger strike against my own body, the results were far more surprising than I could have ever expected. I spent years studying and when I decided to go on the offensive I dedicated myself to learning all that I could to prepare myself. I spent another year singularly devoted to my mission to stand up to what I thought were my spiritual bullies. During the course of that diligent year I negan to learn things and gain perspectives on the entities I proposed to encounter. For instance most if not all of the entities in question did not originate as judeochristian figures of evil but were in fact only demonized as the religions took over the world and became mainatream. I had long since abandoned christian dogma, but couldnāt bolster enough faith to ever say that there is not higher spiritual forces at play in reality. So I began to form a much different opinion of my supposed agressors. Perhaps it wasnāt them that were the source of the problems I was facing. Perhaps maybe the whole world was under a spell of a dark force taking the image of the light. The thoughts that maybe there was a demiurge vying for the worship of a fallen world could not be ignored or rejected carelessly. My ventures became that of further gnosis. Focused on understanding what I thought was darkness rather than trying to confront it. So at the end of the year of study my first ritual evocation after months of preparations became one of introduction and peace. Since then, those that wrong me befall tragedy without me ever lifting a finger and I seem to be able to seemlessly avoid the traps and snares of those that would wish to harm me. Those I care for have also recieved blessings and protection. It has gotten to the point that claiming coincidence would be arrogantly naĆÆve. Since then I have become ordained as an interfaith minister, initiated into the munay kai shaman tribe, gotten a number of accredited certifications: sound aroma therapy, professional psychic training, Neurolinguistic programming, and mastery in 3 forms of reiki. I have expanded my library and magical tools to a moderately advanced level. Over the course of the last several years I have done a lot of self work and discovery. Then the path to Qliphothic self initiation unveiled itself to me. So, I have spent the last year and a half studying and preparing myself for initiation. Many of the entities of the tunnels of Set are familiar to me and I have worked with already or at least had an introductory evocation ceromony. That brings us to today when I discovered this forum. So, thank you for allowing me to share this very long story of my path towards the nightside. I look forward to learning and sharing with anyone and everyone that I can.

Welcome @Numinous I gotta say you story feels so strongly similar to mine. From persecution to thinking somethings wrong with you and withdrawing into studyās. The coming to the consensus of the demiurge to and now working with qliphothic forces. I feel like youāve had a long and cumbersome journey and I hope youāll find solace in this community
