I've been interested in the occult for some time now but I've never delved into it fully. I've always been attracted to 'dark arts' and I've been sharing my philosophical/spiritual views with the occult, but previously was rooted in Advaita Vedanta mainly.
My only experiences are with lucid dreaming, and now I've been looking into astral projection. I've made it a goal to have my first OBE this month.
Now here's the thing. I feel a great need to start 'The Great Work'. I wish to start practicing right away, but I'm afraid I don't have the knowledge necessary. How much should I read up on before setting up my altar and doing rituals? I REALLY want to get my hands dirty, fast. I am not in a hurry as a whole but I really do feel like I need to start practicing right away, like I'm longing for it. I've suffered great loss in my life recently and I feel like having that space where I could meditate and do rituals would help me heal faster. Also, should I just buy a wicca altar kit on ebay or what? Do all magick practitionners start there and then modify their altars to their own needs and stray away from the standards of wicca? Not really sure if I'm making sense here but I just don't know anything about neo-paganism/wicca but they are the only altar kits available on ebay.
I'm reading the Liber ABA right now as well as little bits and pieces from many other things. But I've barely scratched the surface about magick. What would you recommend me doing?
Also, I know of a musical project called Arktau Eos and I really would like to know which branch of magick they are apart of-- if any. It is possible that they are beyond magickal paradigms. Have a look and tlel me what you think... Arktau Eos
