So here I am...

This Blog gets its name from a very simple thing. Some of us have hobbies, or enthusiasms, or whatever, and there comes a point when you wake up in the morning and you find yourself thinking in terms of that thing that's been getting more and more lively in your life and then it hits you.

You either drop back, stunned, or sit, hunched, trying to catch your breath as you have just realised something. You are {X}. For X, substitute Political theorist, musician, theologian, actor, physical therapist... Magician/Sorceror. And that's me on the end.

Yes, I've got a number of little tags that you can add to my name. Some of you know me as that geeky kid. Some of you think of me as the person you loved to kick instead of the football at school. Some of you know me as a Gentleman. Some of you think of me as a bastard of the first water (and for most of you who think that, I'm truly sorry. Most of you. Except for you; yes you. You know who you are and why I don't mind you thinking of me as a bastard). Some of you are aware of me as a Brony. Some of you know me from some websites I hang around. Some of you may also know me under the auspices of the Grey Rainbow. And some of you know me as one of the very few male Dark Goddess Theologians out there. And some of you who have come to this blog may now be thinking of me as a man with more pretention than I should have. But I'm digressing...

Yes, I have a point. My point is that I woke up one morning and had the sudden realisation, as I looked round my bedroom and saw my Table of Practice, and my Shrine to my Genius, and my Lamen, and my piles of notes, and my first thought was something to do with having to invoke someone or other that evening. And that's when I had my revelation, in a burst of pure solid clarity:

“Holy Shit, I'm a Sorcerer!”

The sensation of such a moment of clarity is uncomfortably similar to having a nervous breakdown.

Now, hopefully, this blog will last some time. Some blogs start and fail. But I do have a wealth of topics to talk about. I'm going to talk about the nature of my relationship with my Goddess, my conjuration of spirits, my desperate attempts to keep my head above water (or learn, metaphorically speaking, to grow gills), and, occasionally, to provide little snippets of information I have discovered.

I'm not going to claim that I have some Hidden Secret Knowledge. Maybe I have a little bit of knowledge that no-one else does for the simple reason that no-one else has done precisely what I did. I can tell you that it's a very bad idea to burn sulphur in incense in any large quantity indoors, but I'm sure that that's fairly common knowledge, and most people aren't that stupid. But what I will do is share my little bits of info that I glean; the experimental results when I have found something that works and works well.

If you're a Lilith worshipper, then welcome. You'll find bits of useful info here.

If you're a general Pagan, you'll likely feel at home.

If you're a ceremonial magician, then you'll find good stuff here as well.

If you're a newbie, you'll find handy things about here also.

If you're a fundie Christian, you might have some problems.

If you're a Fluffy Bunny... well, there's room for you here, but don't be surprised if you lose your Fluff.

Hopefully, I'll be able to give people some insight.
