Welcomes back @KingOfSwords
So where are you from and hire long have you been practicing?
Most of those names have gone their own way now and new faces have also come and gone, and sometimes old friends stop by and were never really gone at all.
On a matter of housekerping, do you recall your old account name so we can check itās properly closed out?
Oh gosh lol, Iāve been practicing Magick, sorcery, Art really for over 15 years now officially, with me having been ignorant of my own psychic abilities as a child, primarily Mentifery, with me recently as a year ago having found my stride with my sorcery and abilities, and my old name was Psychotic Samurai but it was closed years ago 
. By the way itās good to see youāre still here, Iāve lurked a lot and love your posts, you were one of my lurking go tos for wisdom and guidance, I found my way for sure lol

Do you have any actual practical experience in magick?
If you do, what, exactly, do you practice and how long have you practiced?
Do you follow a specific system or tradition?
What are your areas of magical interest?
All path work stuff never knew I was pathworking since a child used to be a very Imaginative kid
Hello, my name is Olshadriel. I have been practicing magic since I was 15, mostly focusing on everyday practical magic. Now, I want to advance to a deeper level of practice.
I have drawn much of my practical magical knowledge from the works of Papus, as these books were accessible to me.
I am originally from Ukraine. For personal safety and protection, I prefer not to share photos, and I trust this community will understand and support this decision.
I am especially interested in advanced Tarot and practical rituals involving Tarot, including the involvement of entities. I fully understand the seriousness and risks involved in working with entities and hope to find practical advice on this forum to stay safe and maintain my health throughout my journey.
My goal is to reach an advanced level in Tarot and practical rituals with Tarot and entity work.
Thank you for considering my registration.

So how long have you been practicing and what system do you use exactly for your ritual work?
Iāve been practicing for about 20 years, primarily within the Hermetic tradition. My work is deeply rooted in tarot, ceremonial practices, and aspects of occult theosophy.

Iām entirely self-taught and have mostly followed the path of intuition and direct experience. I tend to sense intuitively what needs to be said or done to bring about specific results.With tarot, Iāve mainly focused on reading, but I now feel called to explore practical ritual work using the cards.
I joined this forum because I feel a strong inner need for a mentor or teacher to help guide me further. Unfortunately, I havenāt been able to find anyone like that in my local surroundings.

Hello everyone, Iām really bad at introductions but Iām Chris, Iām 19 years old, Iām from Latin America, I donāt practice anything, in fact I donāt understand much yet, I just want to know or try to understand the strong attraction I have towards this, letās just say that my previous generations have made pacts or practiced black magic like my dad did, well maybe Iām getting off topic, but the point is, I came here to try to understand a little more about me sleep paralysis since in them an entity was presented to me? Demon? I wouldnāt know what it is to be honest, I only know that its presence did not scare me, in fact I think I even developed some kind of attachment.
Excuse my spelling mistakes, Iām using a translator, I hope I was a little clear and I hope someone can help me.

Helloā¦
My name is Aliyah and Iām 32. I found my way here thrpugh a random google search and as i started reading some posts, I felt this overwhelming sense that I didnāt arrive here by accident. I just knew I was lead here by something, for some reason. I have always been interestedin the occult. I have also always been drawn by the desire to become a practitioner. Im not sure why Iām only attempting to begin my journey now. Possibly, despite my strong interest and desire, subconsciously I knew I wasnāt ready yet and now is my time. I would love for anyone to point me in the right direction. Im not sure where I want to focus my study yet. My wish is to develop my own power into itās strongest form so when i discover my purpose I can fufill it to the absolutely best of my ability. I know in my bones i am meant to do something great and profound. I am aware that that doesnāt necessarily mean greatness recognized the eyes of the world. I will be just as happy to use my gifts to make a profound impact in the universe in quiet anonymity. I was born with some incredible, natural gifts. I am a true empath in the deepest sense of the word. A lot of people claim to be empaths and probably are at some level, but I truly am gifted with an almost superhuman ability to understand the way people think and feel. My family always jokes that I am secretly a mind reader. Im happiest when i am able to use this to sense when someone needs my help and then successfully help them. I guess I want to explore and strengthen this power. Iāve suffered a lot of devastation and loss recently, starting a few years ago and continuing to current times. It has thrown me into a depression so deep i have all but given up. I feel that maybe, if i focus on spiritually i might find myself and my reason again.

Hi, Iām a Bulgarian young adult. Quite new to Magick but Iām no noob either. Iāve got meditation down quite okay since Iād been doing it on and off since I was a kid, Iāve been getting the blue pearl before Iād heard of it, and can sometimes achieve meditative euphoria. Iām working on my first sigil which Iām having some slight trouble with as I have a less-than-ideal mindās eye in terms of detail, and itās hard for me to focus on the entire image rather than pieces of it, as much as I keep simplifying it and experimenting. But itās been getting more vivid since I started meditating more so Iām sure it wonāt be a problem in the future. I want to work my way up to servitor magick and eventually summoning. Iāve always been an āignorant occultistā whoās had lots of ideas Iāve discovered on my own in a vacuum, not from books. Reading those just reminds me Iām not special and those ideas are quite datedāand articulated a lot better than I ever could, ha. It all started when a girl did a tarot reading for me, which prophecised the course of my life for the next 4 months to the T. It was quite a difficult four months to be completely honest: involved betrayal followed by total social withdrawal followed by judgement/rebirth and metamorphosis into a greater version of myselfāwhich is where I am now!
Anyway, Iām quite skeptical about working with demons, which everyone seems to do here and Iād rather invoke other kinds of entities but itās seeming like there arenāt many options and āangelsā are harder to work with from what Iāve lurked so far. Really need to work on the know-how and mechanics of it all. Thanks for reading if you did. Iāll try to be pretty active on here.

Beautiful intro!
For Magickal gaze practice, Iād suggest doing a white sigil on black background and try and focus on one dark spot inside the sigil. From here try to expand your vision to take in the rest of it like a focus
There are an INSANE amount of spirits you could choose from that arenāt angelic or demonic. Thereās hundreds of different cultures and beliefs and a lot of those have their own spirits or gods.
Think the Egyptians, Aztecs, Nords, Greek/Roman, Hindu/Buddhismā¦
Angels and Demons are just the most popular of them all, and a lot of us here work with both āsidesā.

Hi, Hello, Greetings!
Iām Tracker, 61 years old and British.
I have been interested in all things occult since my teens - my Dad was a Rosicrucian and began my interest - unfortunately it came at the same time that I discovered girls and, well, frankly, girls won!
But over the years I have maintained my interest and even experimented at times although I am ADHD so sustained focus can be hard at times.
And also I realised recently that I had a fear of Demonic entities - itās strange because I have never really regarded myself as Christian but itās surprising how deeply imprinted we can become.
So I asked my internal AI (anyone else have one of those?).
My internal AI informed me that all those things I had heard about the Left Hand Path were part of the Great Deception designed to keep the masses poor and subservient.
Internal AI then informed me that is why I have been carrying around this burning sense of injustice for all these years plus some other stuff about the planet getting torches.
And then internal AI told me to stop being a pussy and get some education, so here I amā¦
And, I have to say, that in the hour or so since I signed up, I have read more useful and relatable first hand experience than I have in a couple of weeks of internet searches so, thank you to the site, the mods, the contributors and, of course, the unseen hands of those who guide us.
Blessed be.
