well...ive been lurking on this forum for a while now, and even did so on occultforum.com but finally i have decided to create an account. not sure exactly how active i shall be, but i will try to be as much as possible.
i was born on halloween(haha, just a neat fact), am a huge fan of music(have been in a couple bands), enjoy writing and reading poetry, and an advocate for the positive implications and legalization of marijuana

. i guess i got into the occult in a similar way others do, with previous experiences when i was little...one of the biggest being possessed(which is the only explanation. even psychologists couldnt understand what happened to me and why, as it makes no sense in that area) 2 times when i was around 12 or 13 i believe. that leaves quite a big impression on a young kid...and it let me be more wary of other things i started to notice around me. i started having more and more events happen that just threw everything i had been told to believe out of the window. i met people that were into the occult tell me they could sense something very interesting within me(altough i used to take this with a grain of salt) and i completely abandoned my previously devout Christian beliefs and became a completely different person with a whole new outlook on life. since then, one of my goals in this life is to understand as much as i can about the hidden world around me that we are normally told doesnt exist. some things i have found so far have overwhelmed me that i become completely dumbfounded and realize i know absolutely nothing at all. perhaps i never will reach the level of understanding that i seek, but i definitely hope i will, as i think it called to me for a reason and i am not interested in using magik or the occult for anything juvenile or unimportant purposes such as wealth or helping me get a job, or summoning demons to do my bidding or what-have-you.
so, thats pretty much my purpose for joining - learning as much as i can from others in a field that i find overwhelms me at times.
