Constantine Posted July 7 Hi everyone, Long time lurker, first time poster By way of introduction, I am a lifetime student of magic, studying and practising a range of western and eastern systems, from shamanic through to Goetia, Enochian, Egyptian, Sumerian, thai occultism, Tibetan Buddhism… I practiced some martial arts in my youth - Taekwondo, Pai Lum - White Dragon kung fu, kickboxing, and Wing Chun and weight lifting. Then work became all encompassing for many years, with the benefit of this enabling me to modestly retire a couple of years ago and focus on my interests rather than giving everything to the job. I love hiking in the nearby hills with my wife and pups, gardening, crafting, and the culinary arts. I have been slowly learning I Ching and studying and practising what I can of the available translated Maoshan magic, which led me to the very helpful thread here on Jason Read's Maoshan magic system (bullet dodged, thanks for that!). I have been learning 8 Standing Brocades and Shibashi via YouTube and this got me hooked quickly. I came across Sifu Terry Dunn's Flying Phoenix Qigong sub forum here, and am excited to get underway with it. I have just ordered his DVDs, including his Tai Chi system, and am working my way through the sub-forum to build a supplementary guide for me to refer to as I commence the practice (there are over 200 pages of posts to get through!). I look forward to getting to know you all and participating in the forum where I can. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stirling Posted July 7 Welcome to the board. I’d be interested to hear about the world view that comes with the magical systems you have worked in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
