Hi, I'm David, but Piper is my name for myself. As piping is my favorite hobby, and I'm 16. I used to be realy into spells, more of the invocations and influence type. After a while, I discovered a "negative" within myself. 2 years ago, I was identified as a Psi-Vamp with aid from a book... and eventualy I saw the tendrils.. I learned to read auras, and I do tarot. Right now, my line of work is energy work...
yeah, nice to meet you. ^^
oh, and I live in south eastern New Mexico!

Hello, You can call me some combination of the two words in my username, I live in the upper-Midwest, in one of the most haunted areas in the United States, and I am very young. Double-digits and all, but I'm still definitely a kid, and I have a lot to learn. I've been seriously into the occult for only two years at this point, spent alternatively researching avidly, and being stupid with energy. I'm learning Reiki (level 1 as of this post, but I'm due for an attunement next week.), I've done a lot of research into hoodoo, chaos magic, tarot and I have a working knowledge in a lot of other topics. As for religion, I've been hopping around for the majority of those two years, (Asatru, Wicca, various flavors of Paganism, Deity mix-n-match, Christianity, Discordianism, Cthulhu mythos smile ...) but I've come to a stop recently, with no answers. (It's fine with me.) I'm taking a break from active working and stuff at the moment due to a mental breakdown in miniature (had nothing to do with Lovecraft, I swear wink ). I enjoy thunderstorms, being nice to the cashier, and curling up in bed with chocolate in any form and a good 18th century horror story.

hi, i'm Erin. i know a little about a lot of magical systems (usually enough to point people where they need to go), a lot about a few magical systems, and i like pudding smile
i'm eclectic pagan. i just recently found the deities that claim me (yay celtic) and i'm working through a truly ginormous book about spirits from around the world. my personal occult library (both paper and pdf) has greater variety than that of my local library, which isn't that hard to accomplish come to think of it. i have read every scrap of knowledge i could get my hands on and i could always use more smile
i'm studying herbalism, both magical and mundane, and i can make stuff out of a common spice rack that does wonders. i'm good at creating a ritual out of just about nothing. my natural shielding is damn hard to get through and i like it that way- one of my friends is a highly empathic psychic vampire who likes to get me running high on monsters then suck off the extra energy (she has admitted to it. the only bad part is when i crash in two hours XD). because of that shielding, its hard for me to sense energy and spirits. despite that, i work around my non-sensitivity and i've achieved some really good results.
i also read tarot. i've deliberately not learned the particular meanings by heart because i don't want to influence the spread with what i want the answer to be. i have a tendency to see the holy in the secular, which is part of the reason i can walk into a thrift store and get an entire set of working tools for under $20.
the other reason, of course, is that thrift stores kick a**.

Hi, this is Ben... smile I'm a twenty-three year old who recently graduated from university with majors in theatre arts and classical languages. I started out in a small town, called myself Roman Catholic and enjoyed reading the Bible, fantasy, and some sci-fi for entertainment. I was always into the occult, even if I never looked into it until recently.
When I got to middle school, I had a crisis of faith for various reasons, called myself an atheist, and then, in high school, I found the internet! It helped educate me on a lot of subjects that I wouldn't normally have had access to in a small town like that. I became inspired to learn more about where I had come from.
So, I took Latin and Greek and Hebrew when I got to college. I also took some theology- my courses under Rabbi Holstein, including one called The Quest for Human Destiny, were the best classes that I ever took, in my opinion. I kept all the notes. I knew it was something amazing at the time, but only now am I coming to a deeper understanding of them. I took theatre as well, of course, because I always knew I wanted to act- so that I could be "everyone". And I certainly think it helped.
I call myself Roman Catholic again, even if I don't necessarily fall in line with all of their catechism/official doctrine and all. I'm a Jesus fan. Heck, I'm a Dionysos fan too, which should be no surprise considering my background, I suppose. I live in Los Angeles, now, and am trying to find the right path for myself. I live with two very intelligent young men, one of whom used to be very conservative Roman Catholic- but now they're both sort of new-agey all-is-one universal-God type people who do not claim a religion. We have lots of conversations about spirituality, cosmology, and we even have metathought Socratic conversations (or arguments sweatdrop )
Though I was once wary of new agey stuff, and still am, since I know how much fluff is out there, and how much is misleading... one day out of the blue when I first came to L.A., I found myself wandering to that section in a bookstore. I found a book on astral projection. Since then, I have picked up every book on astral projection I could find. I've been preparing myself to try and practice it, and this Pentecost Sunday marks the end of the first week of my fast (which Derek, my boyfriend and one of the men who lives with me, is also doing). We plan to do one more week of cleansing, and then, we hope we can begin astral travel.
But besides astral travel, there's a lot else I'm interested in. I hope to get tips on that and also have interesting conversations about whatever else while I'm here. Looks like there's a nice base here, so I look forward to it smile
