I have mostly discontinued this particular blog and may only very occationally post on this one hereafter.
Also my group at meetup.com has change its name to
RAPTURE:OCCULT SCIENCES AND ALTERNATIVE LIFESTYLES N.W
at http://www.meetup.com/rapture/
Mostly because I no longer accept only the 'darker' ways of life. I still believe that working with our own shadow self for self improvement is vital to life itself but this no longer means, to me, using any dark magick such as hexes. It means to me, at this time, to look inside for those dark 'demons' we all share our subconscious minds with but dont realise that they dwell there. These subconscious fears or 'demons' control our every thought and reaction unless we can become aware of whats stored within our subconscious minds. In there are assembled and filed away all our life traumas, even those we think we have 'dealt with' and this is why our reactions to 'similar' situations is always based on the X-Files within the subconscious mind. So yes I do still believe 'Shadow Work' is vital to our own individual and collective survival.
Nor do I espouse the following of darker dieties anymore unless they are worked with in balance with the lighter aspects too - for self improvement not self destruction or destruction of any other entity. Diety is a very personal issue for everyone and my own beliefs really dont matter as they cant and shouldnt affect anothers beliefs and thats how life should be in my opinion. I believe from my studies and contemplations and meditations that BOTH outlooks are needed in BALANCE in order that life itself can be BALANCED.
I am a continual learner who always seeks to learn about what life is and what is has to offer and feel I am in need of creating more balance in my life than was with me previously and I KNOW that spiritual stagnation causes our own deterioration so constant learning and developing will, I am positive, give me new outlooks at a later point as I grow and evolve rather than devolve.
