Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name.
Hi guys - and praise Satan.
In this Cancer New Moon, I felt compelled to introduce myself, as well as his blog.
I have been interested in the occult from the time I was a child. How could I not? I was raised by parents who practiced a distinct flavor of boomer occultism focused in New Age thought, spiritism and conspiracy theory. Also, I was born a clairvoyant - capable of seeing auras, energies, even entities. I suppose this heightened sensibility has also aided me in becoming a tarot reader, an activity that I have been practicing for the last fourteen years, to such an extent that it’s second nature now.
For a long time, I tried to comply to my family’s dogmatic standards of spirituality. But for me, something was missing. I have always felt attracted to the nightside, a preference which had been deemed sinful in my midst. I loved the darkness at midnight, vampires, demons, old tales of witchcraft. And I was made to feel awful about it, like my deepest nature was somehow inappropriate and something to be reformed.
At some point, however, there was no other choice for me but to embrace who I truly am. I have been practicing various forms of magick for the past four years, with a focus on astrological magick. It’s about to be one year since I came off the Satanic closet - to myself, at least. Guided by S. Connolly’s books on Daemonolatry, I have found a practice that makes sense to me, that fills primal needs for madness and rage. Within the Daemonic Divine, I have found a long lost spiritual family that has taken me in and supported me in a way my family of flesh never could.
This has only been made possible after another pivotal reading: Qabalah, Qliphoth and Goetic Magick by Thomas Kalsson. This is the book that showed me a Left Hand Path that I could tread with joy and inner resolve, because it reflects my inner setting. For long I have dreamed of the perfect, black stillness of the Cosmic Night, the impeccable void where only potentiality exists. With this book, I realized this is, indeed, the ideal cosmic state of affairs.
I have created this tumblr to share my passion of the darkness with you. Hail and well met!
