What systems, sects, individual authors/practitioners whose names we may be familiar with have you worked with, whether solitary or in a group?
Has anyone ever worked with Grant's Typhonian Current/OTO?
Has anyone attempted to use Donald Tyson's Great Old Ones texts?
Has anyone dabbled into implementing the Simon Necronomicon with complete successes?
Has anyone here delved into the Chaos current using Lovecraftian themes, and to what success/failures?
Please, share. We are pretty anonymous, mostly. Also, lets get some conversation going. Lets roll this place to maximum size.
My experience is mostly just reading and discussion. I've read several works by the Farrars, Cunningham, and Buckland on witchcraft. I was reading Magick: In Theory & Practice by Crowley but someone swiped it from me. I've read several works by Lacey and both of Vengers' works. I've also read some Rosicrucian stuff. The Simon Necronomicon is a favorite of mine; read it 3 times. I've done some coven work. That's pretty much it.
As a bit of background, I am a practitioner and student of paganism and various occult disciplines of eight and a half years now. I have studied Asatru briefly, as well as Kemetiscism, and Druidry. I was a spiritual Satanist for most of these years, but even that has run its course. To answer the other four questions swiftly, no, I've not. In this aspect, I am quite the novice, but am certainly very keen on learning to. I have studied other paths as well as the aforementioned, and can boast a fair amount of general knowledge in the realm of spirituality.
Despite all this, I feel I have a profound lack of...something. I've felt this throughout all my years of study, though I now believe I have found what that is, hence my being led to this wonderful site. I do have much to learn, but have always been quick and eager in doing so.
