Hello/Salam/Aloha/etc.

[Jadugar]

I never learned how to make a good introduction. Right on with it, then.

I go by Jadugar but call me whatever you wish. I'm much the same as anyone here: curious, seeking advancement and mastery, interested in a wide variety of occult fields, a practitioner. A practitioner of what is a good question. I've worked within many paths without any singular focus, but I'm partial towards the sorcery of Iran and its cousins across time and space (rep the homeland and all that). Letterism, prayer-writing, efficacious poetry--very linguistic path, isn't it?

As for interests outside of the occult, well, I'm willing to try and desire to do everything at least once. Talk to me about whatever, I'm always curious to learn more about anything and everything.

I'm excited to meet all of you! It's strange to think how occult corners of the internet shrunk as the internet grew, but I suppose it should figure that occult places would be, well, occult; but nonetheless, I'm glad to have found one and I hope to provide even a fraction of the camaraderie, knowledge, or enjoyment that I'm sure this community will offer me.

Salam aleikum, babajan. (thats how far my iranian vocabulary goes, except some dirty words like kuskesh and tjutjulehshame on me, lol)

Nice to meet you. My islamic paradigm is not shia, but dutch. Sort of my own invention after understanding that all is between me and the divine/allah and that those winds whirl different everywhere. Very interested in your points of view as i encounteted a lot of troubles here(netherlands) with iranian people, especially when staying within islamic paradigm. I noticed the same issue in the islamic corner of reddit.

My arabic is crap, my motto is la allah illallah.

My work has a lot to do with mindmapping a safe reality with lots of different cultures and hopefully create a more beautiful city. The hardship of bending salafism into a less extreme version and stopping murders is one of the things i deal with.

Salam aleikum, babajan.

Salaam! Very nice seeing other folks interested in ME magic, even if, as you've probably noticed, there's usually sometimes heavy disfavour towards it. But the work of the magi is never easy nor accepted, but well worth it, no? As for my views, well, al-Kindi's On Stellar Rays and the Ghayat al-Hakim gives a good general idea of the techniques if not my personal religiousity. Wouldn't mind going into more detail with you--about both our mindsets, of course--elsewhere!

I got stuck on a 'take heed' in the picatrix, then jumped to an other 'take heed' and almost got into an argument, which to me has become a perpetuum mobile, so i let go.
