<p dir="auto">Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law.</p>
<p dir="auto">Been lurking for a while and finally registered last week. Not sure I'm in a position to offer anything, rather learning from the submissions of others - questions, answers, views, and discoveries.</p>
<p dir="auto">My own journey began when I was 12 or 13 in the early/mid 70s, by being introduced to spirituality through visits to the home of a Wiccan/Pagan practitioner, with friends (when we should have been in school).</p>
<p dir="auto">[The sad truth being in today's social climate (in the UK at least, with bogeymen and predators at every turn (if the media is to be believed, and many do alas)) this guy would be viewed with great suspicion, if not arrested.]</p>
<p dir="auto">Since then I've had an on/off affair with the esoteric side of life, with an accompanying library that grew and shrank at varying times (along with my retention of knowledge <img src="https://thelema.org/forum/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f610.png?v=b470f3dfed9" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-android emoji--neutral_face" style="height:23px;width:auto;vertical-align:middle" title=":neutral_face:" alt="😐" /> ).</p>
<p dir="auto">In recent years I've been, essentially, picking up again on my own self-initiatory path of <em>Love</em>, <em>Light</em>, and <em>Truth</em>. Once back 'in the zone', I returned to studying (as and when time permits), there is much to learn, more to comprehend, and a broadening of my curriculum to contemplate.  <img src="https://thelema.org/forum/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f631.png?v=b470f3dfed9" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-android emoji--scream" style="height:23px;width:auto;vertical-align:middle" title=":scream:" alt="😱" /></p>
<p dir="auto">It was only relatively recently that I turned to the Inernets in search of some specific texts and further reading - with Google throwing up several communities in the process I thought it might be broadening to connect, in some small way, with fellow aspirants and masters.</p>
<p dir="auto">Love is the law, love under will.</p>

<p dir="auto">Oh, I'm 'playing' too - I was about to say 'fiddling' to carry on the musical analogy but that might not be an apt metaphor.  <img src="https://thelema.org/forum/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f644.png?v=b470f3dfed9" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-android emoji--face_with_rolling_eyes" style="height:23px;width:auto;vertical-align:middle" title=":face_with_rolling_eyes:" alt="🙄" /></p>

<p dir="auto">Study away.  Sound theory makes a musician better.  But only playing makes a better player.</p>
