:x how frusterating... just spent the last 45 mins typing my lengthy introduction was just about to hit 'submit' when the battery on my laptop decided to die!... oh well, here we go again lol.

Hi... I've been studying/practicing occultish stuff for a little over ten years now, been astral projecting since the wee age of 6-7, figured out I could do it during my insanely terrifying bouts with sleep paralysis which I am still blessed/cursed with to this day. I realized I could manipulate reality when I first started using LSD when I was around 15-16, started talking with other people about it and learned I wasn't alone, which got me into reading as much as I could get my hands on about psychedelic drugs, which eventualy lead me to the world of shamanism and the occult, Which eventualy lead to me buying 'hands on chaos magic' a couple weeks ago... that is the extremely condensed version of how I got to where I am right now.

I dont really follow any set path, but tend to work within the luciferic, discordian, satanic paradigms.

I study/practice the art of street, rapid induction, conversational/covert hypnosis and will be giving the hypnosis induction forum some well needed love in the very near future... though I wont be talking much about the covert style... or maybe I might... I have no interest in discussing it's use in a thereputic setting... or starting a cult.

I am also a bar/street magician, I use a mix of sleight of hand, hypnosis, mentalism and a touch of the real stuff for good measure... Much darker and spookier than david blaine or chris angel, closer to derren brown style, but have been told its even spookier than that :twisted: tends to scare the living **** outta most, and yet for some reason it is enjoyed... and no I will not tell you how anything is done unless you can somehow prove to me you are a magician/mentalist of the entertainment variety (although I might drop a hint here and there if you read real close)

I play the drums in a hardcore/street punk band as well, but wont post the name here because I haven't read the rules yet (I will as soon as I'm done this post, I promise ;) ) and dont want to get banned or offend anyone.

as for my work life, I've been a job hunter for the last 5-6 months... I have been landscaping for the past 3 years though (not including these past few months :cry: ) and specialize in building ponds/waterfalls... I love that kind of work.

I have a broad knowledge/experience in a large variety of mind expanding, psychoactive, dream inducing plants/chemicals and will be glad to help anyone if they have any questions on things of that sort.

see ya'll in the forums :D

K... I'm done... again lol
