Hello to everyone!

[Victoriana]

Hi! I´m so happy and excited, that I found this website!
I´ve been practising my mostly intuitive craft for a few years now. But since a while I´ve been feeling a calling to widen out my expertise and dive deep into the different sciences of the occult. I can´t really say yet, what I´m most interested in, except for studying and learning new paths of occult life and integrating these into mine. I´m very curious to see what new perspectives this site may bring me and if it leads me down the path, that I hope it will or if life does what it does best and throws me into a completely different direction.
Needless to say I´m excited to meet and exchange views and ideas with experienced practicioners and witches and hopefully my english skills wont give up too easily on me, since i´m not a native speaker haha

Farewell and let´s meet again in a discussion!

Thank you!

I mostly practiced divination, especially Tarot, that´s what really got me into the world of the occult. On top of that i practise mostly herbal magic these days, since I inherited a lot of knowledge regarding plants and that always worked well for me. Then I dabbled in astrology and numerology, but never in a way that I would call myself really "experienced". I got lost in popcultures idea of spiritualism and witches and ultimately never build on the foundations i learned because of university, moving cities etc. The only constant practise is divination through Tarot and deity worship of a certain goddess that I still made sure to never forget. But I´m very dissatisfied with my current knowledge and am lately feeling a strong calling to explore again. But as I´m currently exploring this site, I see that it won´t be easy to decide where to begin

What occult areas are you experienced in? I see that you´re an author, so I´m assuming you do have some expertise haha

I'm that most unpopular type, a materialist magician I've spent years researching a scientific basis for magic, which for this purpose I define as "the engineering of coincidence" or "being lucky on purpose", and yes, I have written a book

The Engineering of Coincidence: a scientific explanation of magic

What is magic? We all know that magic exists, but can it ever be explained? Over thirty years ago, I set out to answer these questions, and to look for a truly scientific explanation of magic. Now, I'm not bright enough to invent new physics, or dumb enough to try and pick loopholes in the...

That sounds incredibly interesting! I´m always open to unpopular, new ways to define what we perceive as magic and your viewpoint (based on the short summary of your book I just read) sounds like exactly the type of new experiences I´m looking for!
