Thread: Hiya!

Hey, what's up? My name's Pan, I'm 20, and I only really recently became interested in then occult. I was raised Christian (non-denominational), but identified as Wiccan in high school. This caused problems, though, so any magick I did was severly limited to whenever my parents weren't around, which wasn't often.

Once I turned 18, I continued studying and eventually stopped identifying as Wiccan. Now, when people ask about my religious beliefs, I simply tell them I'm an occultist. I practice chaos magick so my religious beliefs are slightly complex, and I don't feel I have time to go into them now.

Essentially, though, I believe all forms of magick and rituals have their place and purpose and that no one religion is truly 'the correct path'. I believe in aspects of Thelema, Levayan Satanism, Wicca, Vodou, HooDoo, Native American traditions, and ancient Middle Eastern traditions. I'm really interested in the Goetia, though I don't feel that I'm ready to work with those forces yet, so for now, I'm leaving them alone.

As for who I am, like I said, my name is Pan. I don't really identify with a gender, but I usually use male pronouns. I was born female, I really don't care what you refer to me as. Uh.... I live in Colorado, I'm huge on movies, and my favorite animal is the Portuguese Man of War (which actually isn't an animal at all, but thousands of tiny animals working together to make one large animal)... And I guess we're all just gonna have to get to know each other as I post here

Welcome Pan ...

Hi, I understand what you said about parents. I'm 13 and my Mum hates me studying the occult. I like your writing style, you've a very outward and upfront personality. I'm not normally the sort to hide my oppinions. If you want help with stuff, let me know. I'm farely good at wicca, necromancy, summoning and shamanism, but have yet to try chaos magick.

Pan, your name is the same as the Greek god of the wild, he took the form of a man with a goats legs and horns. He made pan pipes.
