Hey

[Dusk]

I've been into magic seriously for about 3 to 4 months. I have so much that I am interested in, I'm determined to leave no stone unturned. I have read things on Shamanism, Hermeticism, and am currently into the LHP. You might say however that my primary focus is Chaos magic. As you might be able to tell, it suits me very well. :) I love being exposed to new ideas and like to think I keep an open mind.

:)Hey Dusk! Welcome! If it's magic you're looking for , you've come to the right place. Pull up a recliner and make yourself at home! Just finished casting a spell, see you down the rabbit's hole! AV.

Welcome - tried to say hi yesterday but my cell phone is obtuse for anything but reading threads....

Welcome to Abrahadabra! XD

I am a chaote also and have been in magick literally since I was in the cradleboard...it is a very appealing belief structure and liberating from all kinds of traditional crap....

An ancient Chinese curse runs, May you live in interesting times. Since the fall of the Roman Empire there have rarely been more interesting times than these. Whenever history becomes unstable and destinies hang in the balance, then then magicians and messiahs appear everywhere. Our own civilization has moved into an epoch of permanent crisis and upheaval, and we are the beset with a plague of wizards. They serve an historic purpose, for whenever a society undergoes radical change, alternative spiritualities proliferate, and from among these a culture will select its new world view.

It is for the wizards to determine how that new spirituality will manifest. Most will end up crying in the wilderness or being put to the stake in various ways, but a few will bequeath to humanity a greater gift than they will ever realise. Orthodox hierarchical monotheistic religions are a spent force spiritually and intellectually, although there will be some bloody battles before they are completely finished. Science has brought us power and ideas but not the wisdom or responsibility to handle them. The next great advance that humanity will make will be into the psychic domain. There are many encouraging signs that this is beginning to occur. In this new field of endeavor we shall rediscover much of the magical knowledge that the ancient shamans once possessed. of course, we shall know it under different guises and will eventually expand on their knowledge immensely.

thanks for the intro Dusk - glad you could make it!

you may occasionally read one or another disparaging posts regarding Chaos Magick but don't be discouraged by this.
There is more support here than you may think...only...as with Satanism and a few other branches of occult philosophy, many of us are more intent on what these things may yet become than what they are at present...

there are no (safe) sacred cows at AF, and anyway, the night is young, as they say! :D
