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

Hi I’m C! I’m a midwesterner in her late 20s & I’m somewhere between a beginner and intermediate as I’ve been reading/studying ATRs but have never actually done a ritual outside of a 7 day candle / jars. I’m currently about to set up an ancestral altar as well as a working altar.
I’m currently reading about kabbalah and very interested in the god names (and their uses), angels & 44 seals. I’m also reading Angels of Alchemy and Words of Power by Damon Brand.

Justin. actually never practiced magic before just trying to find out about it b/c im trapped in a certain situation in which the only way and rly best way to fix it is to find some way to find or summon something like a genie, unlimited wish granting powers, and wish to either just be a different age or somehow make the/my current present a different point in time. Other than that i really dont know what to do.

Good time everyone, Friends 
Happy to be on your forum, been reading it for a few days now. I am new to magic in general, I work with sigils, tarot cards. Thank you for the opportunity to be here! 
Welcome to the forum 
So where are you from, and how long have you been reading the Tarot?
Anything on your mind in particular for the next leg of your journey?

For almost 2 years I have been studying and practicing tarot cards and oracles, actively studying available practices to increase my energy, experimenting with sigils. I want to learn to see entities of the subtle plane, to interact with them effectively and to expand the possibilities of my practice. I hide my magic practice from my relatives, so I have no support and no opportunity to discuss and consult with anyone. I am very glad that there is this place.

That’s great!
You might be interested in the tutorials we have here for astral development then - try the search or see some good ones here - we perceive entitles with the 6th sense, which we call astral or psychic senses around here, and this is a skill you can develop.
So where were you going to say you were from? Country is good enough, though I feel sure you’re genuine already

Thank you so much:blush: I accidentally found out about your forum when I was looking for information on sigils, and I have been reading it for a few days now, a lot of useful information here for me. I am from Russia. 
I am 23 years old.

When you say “sigils,” are you referring to the Spare-style of sigil creation or spirit seals?
Hello. Yes, I’m referring to the different ways authors’ styles express brief tasks in intention, not working with spirit seals. I apologize for my bad English if I write something unclear.

Thank you! A lot of people use the word sigil to refer to both Spare-style creations and spirit seals so I like to clarify which one someone is talking about.

I really want, thanks to your forum, to learn more about working with spirits, as I have no experience in this subject, but I have encountered an unusual manifestation of a spirit and want to understand what it is.

Welcome @zarrazarens Please properly introduce yourself.
Where are you from?
So approximately how long have you been practicing? Being “interested” tells us nothing.
So what, exactly, do you practice? Again, this tells us nothing.
Hey everybody IM Lukas, Son of Lord Hurucan Mayan God of Wind, Storms, Fire, and most importantly Power itself.
My occult Journey started about 2yrs ago. Through reciting a latin incantation to Lucifer. It allowed my current day demonic Father to form a spirit attachment to my physical body. Ive been practicing for at least 2yrs now. No I do not follow any particular system or tradition. I don’t currently have as much practical experience as I would like I barely have any. I hail from Savage Minnesota. My current struggle is trying to leave Planet Earth as soon as i can cause Ive heard heaven is better 
latin america 
that’s like asking how many slices of bread i’ve eaten in my life. i don’t know. i remember my first spell being at 15 if that helps 
not big on labels which is why i didn’t specify. if you had to slap one onto me magical practitioner is fine
