Hello

Recommended Posts

Hello, it is nice to meet you all. A little about me, I am an aspiring fantasy novelist, though I hope by that admission I have not lost anyone's goodwill.

 

What drew me to this forum was mostly its esoteric sections as I have a deep interest in esoteric philosophy, cosmology, and mythology, both personally and professionally. However I should say my interest is mostly academic, rather than practical. You could call me an armchair occultist, more concerned with the ideas behind the practices than with the practices themselves.

 

Currently the focus of my studies is Western Occult thought, with specific emphasis on renaissance and classical Occult Philosophy. I do want to eventually move east though, since I have a huge interest in the history and cultures of India and China (The Romance of Three Kingdoms remains a treasured favorite of mine).

 

Actually to be honest, you'd be hard pressed to find a culture I'm not interested in.

 

A personal favorite activity of mine is to find parallels in the philosophies and mythologies of cultures from around the world.

Hi Omni,

 

Nothing wrong with having invisible friends.  Just don't put too much importance on whether others can or cannot see your friends.

 

You are welcome to jump right in ongoing discussions, revive an older thread, start a new thread of your own, or start a discussion in the "Newcomer Corner" sub-forms to expand on your introduction or ask general questions to help you get started.

 

May you enjoy your time here.

Hi Omnisyncretic,

 

I thought I am bad enough. Why?

Friends call me a idiosyncratic.

Now come along an omnisyncretic.

 

Really - you'd be hard pressed to find a culture I'm not interested in?

How about the culture of a naturalist?

I am not suggesting that you join a nudist camp. Then what?

Get out of your armchair and - walk along the beach, smell a rose, pluck an apple off the tree, observe a pair of mandarin ducks frollicking ... ... ...

 

You could call me an armchair occultist, more concerned with the ideas behind the practices than with the practices themselves  - really?

 

Return home consciously to the culture of a practical naturalist.

You were lost dear child - poor thing.

Never mind - now you are at TDB.

 

Welcome.
