i'm new here. interesting place...
i'm an aging queer pagan hermit hippy anarchist living in the bush of northern alberta canada. i've made a life-long study of the occult and magick. i have always been fascinated by the darker side of magick. probably it's a rebellion against a very catholic upbringing.
i certainly sympathize more with lucifer than jehovah.
who wouldn't rebell against an angry and jealous god who cast him aside for a pitiful ape descendant. couldn't something else have been worked out???

Re: hello all.
Sun, April 6, 2008 - 1:32 AMhow about creating a religion in your own image? god and satan get so fucking old, after awhile. apes and peoples are related genetically, but socially, we created different societies over the last millenium or two, i don't think either was more pitiful than the other. Its european dualistic thought. that kind of thought, while popular in some quarters, really is not a prevelant theme, no matter what western culture or the church, or pagan group says so, in the larger picture of the world and its inhabitants. -

Sun, April 6, 2008 - 10:22 AMthankyou brian. unfortunately, my drakonianly slow dialup connection doesn't allow the luxury of you tube. videos just won't load or open for me. 28.8kbps is ridiculous, i know, but it's all i can get here.

is this the sort of welcome one can expect here? to be spoken down to in such a vitriolic way? -

Re: hello all.
Sun, April 6, 2008 - 12:03 PMcool, thanks. and, in turn, i was perhaps a little too defensive.
i was merely giving a brief impression of my thoughts on the judeo/christian view.
i'm a student of literature and have a tremendous love for milton's paradise lost. i believe that milton also sympathised more with lucifer, as was pointed out by william blake as well.
my own spirituality is celtic/shamanic/druidic.
i am fascinated by hermeticism and ceremonial magick in the judeo-christian tradition, but don't practise it.
my extremely isolated location, and the fact that the people who are here tend to be fundamental christian rednecks, i don't 'get out much'.
i'd love to make interesting friends here.
peace, patrick

Sun, April 6, 2008 - 12:38 PMcool, thanks. i was perhaps a little too defensive.
i do find judeo/christian mythology interesting, but my own spitituality is celtic/druidic/shamanic. i have always loved paradise lost by milton and havr indeed had more sympathy for lucifer (as i'm sure, milton did too, as pointed out by william blake.
i have a very cross-cultural love of mythologies too.
my isolated location and the fact that the people that do live here are largely fundamentalist christian rednecks, mean that ' i don't get out much'.
i'd enjoy making interesting friends here.
peace, patrick -

Re: hello all.
Sun, April 6, 2008 - 3:32 PMand perhaps i was a little tart cause i grew up in the bible belt of oregon, thats for sure. i remember what it is like to be a pagan amoungst the 'masses'. i grew up in a town that had 700 people, and three churches, and 5 forms of xtianity. so again, sorry i made you feel bad, that certainly wasn't my intention. welcome patrick.

In a way you really can do what you're saying. Read up on Konstatinos. You can create your own entities and give them power. There are ways to do that. Or, you can try and pull in and attempt to tap into energies of long past religions. -

Re: hello all.
Mon, November 10, 2008 - 12:21 AMWell of course, mr. A. It works well for me. it was a conjectural idea in an - out - of - ritual- magic- context. The most important thing, i gained a nice friend, that i would be delighted, to get drunk with, from this discussion. patricks a cool guy.
i've lived in the G-true universe since my inception in talking form, my dear man. i have a little shack out in Zothria. and i'm one of the few white boys that can see the kwa-loon. hee hee
"You can create your own entities and give them power."
-yeah baby, and let me tell ya, the last twenty five years have been a blast.
"Or, you can try and pull in and attempt to tap into energies of long past religions."
- or, you can be physically possessed by ancient gods. (much more direct. horses mouth type of thing)

Re: hello all.
Sun, April 6, 2008 - 4:30 PMhello. i was a cradle catholic, but am recovering quite well, thankyou. the jesuits used to say, "give them to me 'til they're five, and i'll have them for life."
in many ways it has been a hard recovery. my 90 year old very catholic mother is still doing novenas for my return to the church. i've told her that her prayers would be better directed to other causes. seriously, one should never underestimate the cone of power generated by a bunch of old ladies with rosaries. -

Re: hello all.
Thu, April 10, 2008 - 7:12 PMMy son, knowing I was married to his father by Tim LaHaye, and Jerry was my youth pastor at Scott Memorial Baptist Church in San Diego, gave me a copy of the Left Behind book they co-wrote. When I stated I really could have written the book myself if I believed such theology, he told me it was great science fiction fantasy. Well, it isn't great, it was boring. The point being, all of us grown up in the Judeo/Christian/Muslim religions of a monotheistic god, who have "woken up" and left our spirituality of origin are recovering or recovered. I celebrate us! We took our spirituality serious, having found our own truths. We acted with courage to leave in the face of the fears we were taught would haunt us if we did so. Without a caring support network of each other, we will suffer more than we need to. -

Sat, November 1, 2008 - 11:49 AMmy! such an introduction! i share many of your predilections but my purpose in living as a hermit in a n`atl forest in s cali is that of a solitary walk with my beloved, the greatest magician of them all. my magic is that i constantly am filled with that divine magic and am never alone or lonely but am fulfilled happy and content no matter what life hands me..my comment on Jehovah would be that as man has grown how much more so has man`s Lord grown -

Sun, March 8, 2009 - 2:36 PMHey Patrick. I clicked on this today. It seemed like a place where people may type something out and it wouldn't become the vengeful newspaper. So if You ask me, I hope that you could diminish your anarchist tendencies.
