How did you find WF?

[stratamaster78]

Not sure how I ever missed this thread.

I was a member of the previous incarnations of WF and tbh I don't remember how I stumbled upon those. I think it was back when I 1st stumbled onto the Occult and probably found it through googling different Occult subjects.

I found WF 4.0 specifically because I was actually reminiscing about the older ones one day and how I missed it and how angry I was about the older one getting wiped out including everyone's contributions that were made.... especially from TGK and some of the other older Guard.

I was digging around to see if the person who took credit for it publicly was still around and if anything else was said or done about it and by chance saw hits for WF (WF 4.0) showing up again.

So I joined back up immediately with my same previous username hoping to see some familiar folks.

Thankfully a few are still around but also there are many new members here now that are making lots of great contributions.

Skull has done a great job resurrecting the place and the Mod Staff does a much better job than previous ones at dealing with Trolls.

I'm just really glad that WF is back.

What's the story on the wipeout? Forum vets talk about it like great gramper groused about the horror of the Meuse-Argonne, but I never heard real details.

Curious to hear about the wipe too.

As for me, I was looking for Donald Tyson's New Millennium Magic, Google showed a thread on Reddit and it linked here, so here I am. My first intention was to get the book and leave, but then I decided to look around since there aren't many people I can talk to about magic and forum makes it possible. Also it's interesting to see approaches of people from different cultures and paths, it contributes to my own perception and understanding of some things, even if I don't participate in every discussion I read.

Don't worry about non-participation. The late Roma and myself was/are reputed to participate in threads we never even read.

Googled occult forums and found a reddit board and looked there and found a link here.

I will make a separate thread about that, or else this one will get derailed.

Thank you everyone for sharing!

Hi, I found this website back on its first incarnation, when I was a teenager. It was being advertised on /X/, of all places and I hung out on that website at the time. I joined then, and I wrote a bunch of different things for the site (if i remember correctly, of varying quality lol). I thought this site was gone forever, but I typed it in just to see what would happen and here it is, on its FOURTH incarnation? Very cool. I even saw one of my old posts archived in the energy work section! That is awesome.

So at any rate, here I am back on this website again after what feels like a little over a decade, though I'm honestly not sure. Looking forward to seeing who is still around, and whats going on or being worked on these days! I have much more experience and understanding of metaphysics and energy work, astral stuff and many other things now. Guess that happens as you get older.

I got tired of being linked to the cancer pit that is Reddit anytime I had an occult query so I simply Googled "esoteric messageboard" and found this place.

...I'm editing my first poetry anthology which is a series of mediations on the psychological effects of meditative practice, working on my second poetry anthology which is an epic retelling of a series of pathworking visions (kind of like the rime of the ancient mariner, and yes I got bored with editing my first book ) and a personal poetic journal of seasonal meditations and incantations of the will (I use fidget spinners as Talismans to enhance these exercises - (it's probably as a far as I'm going to go with using physical tools).....

And that's about it!

Can I include my website in the signature too?

I'd been looking for an occult forum that actually had people on it, for some time. A google search revealed the existence of this forum

What did the other ones have? Spambots? Or Ascended Masters of the Cosmic Spheres? I waded few a few demon sloughs before I got here. They were either genuine demons or the kind of kids that coulda gone Cloumbine had they not found their magical-coping mechanism.

Most of them were... full of tumbleweeds

Just curious!

DuckDuckGo and Startpage, both with "Best forum for Sorcery and Magic", or something close to that.

 

[Amadan]

Not sure, but probably DuckDuckGo

 

[IllusiveOwl]

I was looking for a PDF of the Hecateon and this bangin site was the first place to offer it. Yinz library is the best

 

[Darkesh]

DuckDuckgo " Forum for Magick " Listed Number one.

 

[szamatlii]

Brave browser. Think I asked the AI for the best occult forums. Love AI search, love Wizardforums lol.

Actually I was googling information about Hekate and this site was listed, thought I'd give it a look, and here I am.

I used to be a member of the old WF, life happened and when I tried to find it again, t'was gone.
2024 rolled in, I was once more enamored with the OcCuLt for a couple years and, upon googling a book I found it here
Glad to be back!
