Thread: Hello

I am completely new, I just started dealing with magic, I started with basic meditation and basic reading, especially of chaos magic. And I started it, because of few strange things happening to me lately. So I tried shielding myself to.
Well thats the reason to join this forum, I actually don't know anyone who is dealing with occult, there is a few i know who are into wicca, but I just can't feel that path.
As I can assume (@astral eye) you're dealing with astral projection... well, i know a little about it, 'cuz a friend practice it and it turned bad, well he was young in those days, but still.

Oh dear, what a confused comment I have written. Well, I am looking forward for some guidance (not an teacher, because I want to descover for myself) and I hope I'll get it some here.

Hope my English isn't so dreadful and hard for understand.

Hey there and welcome. I'd imagine that meditation and reading are probably more enjoyable than freezing naked in a graveyard! Don't worry about your English...mine can be pretty atrocious, particularly after several rounds of whiskey.

Hi there. Welcome to Occult Forums. Glad you could join us.

@ GraveyardSlut
Yes, I do use some astral energies, but I work with spirits and summoning them, but I allso practice necromancy, shamanism, sorrcery, wicca and am studying elementalism.

Well, from posts I can only guess that there is a lot of quite experienced members on this forum. As I already had written, I am not like that, YET.
@astral eye: you have to be a very busy by learning, exploring and practicing all that...

Well, experience is always relative, so you are probably already more experienced than you realize, GraveyardSlut (Yes! I got to type the name!)
To me, the most effective magick most often uses "basic" methods anyway, so I think you're on the right track by building on the foundation you've set for yourself. You mentioned that you've had strange things happen (not sure what "strange" really is anymore) and that you've already done some shielding and such. These things give you a degree of experience that someone else may not have, so you might be able to help another person by sharing what you've learned too.

I would also advise working primarily with one aspect of magickal development for a while (divination, astral work, energy work, candle magick, sigils, or whatever) until you feel you've gained more confidence in that area before working with too many other areas. You don't want to diminish your efforts by spreading yourself too thin. And you can (and will) always add to your magickal toolbox in time.

I'm only 13, and while I've loved magick all my life, I really started properly at the age of 10, and that's been in secret, hiding it from my mum. She doesn't like me doing this stuff, but oh well. Don't worry, your probebly more experienced than me, just I have a wide range of interests

That is a really useful advice. I guess I a have to be more focused for the start, maybe the progress will be more visible then and it will be easier to clear some things that I still don't uderstand.
Thank you
