<p dir="auto">hello my name is Gunner, i am current living in roanoke VA, but this should change within 2-3weeks, i am transfering with my presnet job to north NJ.</p>
<p dir="auto">so lets see, how did i come to here, posting on a temple of thelema forum?  well i was about 12 years old, and i was starting my whole teenage rebellion. at that time i was a big marilyn manson fan, at that young age he represented my rebellion and i read every interveiw by him, tried to dress like him etc.  in an interveiw he metioned that his religious beliefs were based off anton levay and aleister crowley, so i bought the satanic bible, 777, book of lies. my 12 year old mind understood the satanic bible but knew it was not the religion i was looking for, with 777 &amp; the book of lies i didnt understand what was written, but i could understand that there was a real system and spirit behind it, unlike anton levays system.  so i kept studying these books and bought more and more of aliester crowleys work, about a year after i got on this path i bought the book abrahadabra by rodney orpheus, i guess this was about 1997, and that book really helped me understand thelema, also it was with that book i started to do magick meditation.<br />
then about 2 years ago i started going to see the gnostic mass @ the OTO nearest here, and soon after joined.  and i have heard great things about the TOT/COT,so it has basically lead me here.</p>
<p dir="auto">and  on juan's art work, from what i have seen it is great, and i would consider him a great artist.</p>
