Hi everybody,
For reasons I am not even sure of, my interest in Thelema has been reignited as of late. I was initiated Minerval in OTO back in 2004/2005, but didn't really stick around long enough to form any long term bonds with people. I was very shy back then, and didn't really know what I wanted. I had limited magickal and mystical practice, but didn't really ever follow through with much of it. I would follow books like Donald Michael Kraig's Modern Magick up to a certain point and then either burn out or get distracted by other things.
Then I got married, had a child, and have another one on the way later this year. These events have been extremely transformative for me, and have really forced me to really shed a lot of my old ways.
Without getting too rambly, essentially what I want now is to find my true will, my essense of being. I just picked up "Living Thelema" by Dr. Shoemaker and I like his style of writing. I'm going to be working through his recommended magickal regimen, and then after a while, I will try to follow the A.'.A.'. syllabus. I doubt I will have much time in the coming years (2 small kids) to get fully involved with any orders of organized groups, so hopefully I'm able to share ideas and learn from some of experiences you all have.
Glad to be here!
