Salutations…
I am Stephen, a 32 degree Mason and esoteric “dabbler”. Looking to up my game from someone who studies to one who practices. I have enjoyed the Masonic path but 99% of all the rituals are presented without much meaning. Most Masons are “dabblers” and know little about anything they are preforming. Of course all these rituals were taken, diluted and modified by Albert Pike, for the modern lodge. I remember after reading Morals and Dogma I thought, “Man I need to find the sources of this info and study that!”.

I have had many positive experiences with lucid dreaming when I was younger, and like many played around with a Ouija board and Tarot cards but nothing serious. I read Crowley when I was 18. During that time I had several unusual experiences that included being visited by something when I was sick with a fever. At the time I believed I was just hallucinating. Then several times it reoccured, whenever I felt a bit feverish. After many months of lucid dream exploration I had an out of body experience that frightened me and I stopped all occult dabbling at that time.

But this stuff has always called me.

I am a full time physician in Florida, (what I do not who I am) I have written several books, including the Philosophical Physician, which “gently” touches on some very neophyte magic. I am interested in the dark arts to better my abilities, in healing, in my business and in my personal evolution. E.A’s approach and explanations spoke directly to me and now, I am no longer afraid of the dark…

I am a beginner with a lot to learn. More to come.
