Welcome from a fellow new member!

I was unaware of this book, but did a little looking into it. I think it would hurt my brain too haha.

Thanks for the definition des. I'll still look into it but afraid I don't know is buy into that. Charging an object with energy I'm leaning toward though.

thank you for taking the time to post what you did rosered. I would love to hear what you have to say when life calms down and if you feel so inclined. I am unfamiliar with animist so looks like I have some more reading to do.

Welcome from a fellow new guy. From what I've seen the atmosphere here is very relaxed, so think you'll enjoy yourself here.

Welcome taeo!

I'm new here myself but I think you'll enjoy the atmosphere here. I'm also new to the occult so I don't have much to offer, but sounds like there's lots to be learned from you.

E=MC2 "This equation expresses the fact that mass and energy are the same physical entity and can be changed into each other." For instance, adding 25 kilowatt-hours (90 megajoules) of any form of energy to any object increases its mass by 1 microgram, increasing its inertia and weight ac...

I think this just broke my brain.

Thank you gents. While I want a definitive answer I suppose there's no clear cut answer. I'd suspect there's people in both camps on the issue. While I can't say with 100% conviction, I tend to believe the tools hold power themselves. Somewhat related, I definitely feel energy people emit. Not all p...

Great example desecrated, thank you. I'm still curious though if any of the physical elements that we put energy into have importance in and of itself. I tried my hand at sigil magik last night for the second time. This time I was more ceremonial about it. Creating the sigil by candlelight of an ano...

Asurendra, I appreciate the information. I'm very new to all of this so I don't know the specific disciplines. I currently focus on the center of my mind all while not focusing at all (if that makes sense). Doing this quickly puts me in a trance like state. Sometimes specific things become clear to ...

I'm very new to meditation but #34 works well for me. Thanks for sharing this;gives me some things to try.

Thanks so much for the reply! Regarding heading down a path with spirits/daemons/etc is not something I feel confident at this point. I like your explanation about how some methods require more energy to be put in like a jar spell and the anticipation helps build the energy. That makes perfect sense...

I thought I understood magik but the more I read the less about magik I realize I know. I understand at the core, magik is manipulating energy. The difference (in my limited understanding) between types of magik or spells is merely semantics. That is to say, whether you're doing a ceremonial ritual,...

Thank you ramsha!

Thanks guys! Welcome to you too littlegoat. I saw your intro and agree with you on the maturity of the forum. @manodsands that's one of the things I had found doing research was the point of the ritual to focus. I appreciate the advice and perhaps ceremony might be something I need to work in at som...

Thanks for the warm welcomes.

@manonthepath while I am drawn to chaos as a practice and I believe it can meet my needs, I'll certainly take your advice and keep an open mind. We don't always know where we'll end up.

Hey everyone! I'm sure you've seen plenty of me come through here; no particular experience but hundreds of questions. I'll try not to ask them all at once lol. A little history, I started meditating several months ago and working on feeling my chakras. I was surprised how well I could feel them and...
