Hello Everyone,
After intentionally looking for places to meet other Thelemites and/or practicing Magicians for a few weeks, today I stumbled upon this site doing a google search for a somewhat related subject. I'm happy to say my search was definitely fruitful AND I found what looks like a goldmine of intelligent, knowledgeable, experienced and friendly patrons. I am relatively new to Thelema but have experienced spiritual growth through other paths. After practicing daily meditation for the past 3 years in addition to other searching, reading, studying and soul searching, I've found myself here. I've just begun studying Qabalah, Tarot, Grimoire, Enochian and Ceremonial/Ritual Magick and I found myself completely fascinated and consumed with it all. I come from a judeo-christian background as I am from the "bible belt" of the US. It is still an ongoing process undoing the fear charged deep rooted belief system instilled into my psyche from the formative years but most of that has been neutralized. This may explain my new found love and obsession as ANYTHING occult had been forbidden and eternally damning in my previous life which I am mostly free of these days. Even after practicing only the LBRP for two months, and more recently the Middle Pillar Ritual I find myself with an insatiable appetite for Magick and Ritual and clearly see this as my new path. I need help, guidance and advice and look forward to meeting you guys!

Welcome, Indagator! 93's.
There certainly is quite the spectrum of personality and expertise here, as any true Thelemic community should display! In the few years I've been here, it's been wildly helpful in grounding my perspective and giving me avenues to explore I wouldn't have thought of on my own. I wish the same for you, as ye will!You seem a nice fellow, so I look forward to your posts

Hi guys,
After two years away (some of the time was just being a lurker) I thought I might try to participate. I see a lot of good discussion on this board and I feel like I should come out of my bubble and ask questions - as I have some.
I have continued a daily practice of the standard probationer-style rituals as well as Asanas and Pranyama and I continued my study of the Kabbalah, Tree of Life, Paths, attributions and as much else as I possibly can.
I am currently an "Aspirant" of the A.'. A.'. and am working to the best of my ability mostly alone. I am using Jim's "The Mystical and Magical System of the A .'. A .'.", Gems from the Equinox, all of the probationer's required reading and a small library of other books.
Also, I don't like my old name anymore so I changed it to ubermatticus

Well hey! Didn't lose it! Always nice to hear a success story. I changed my name too, as you can see, a bit closer to home.
Anywho, the practices feel good, eh? When it comes down to it the benefits are markedly practical.
Throw the questions up, we'll have a go!93, 93/93
