This June will mark the two year anniversary of my blog. Yea! Things have changed in that time, so I think it’s time to change the about page. If you want to see the old page, it’s still a post and still the mission statement.
About two years ago I began this site to post some articles I had written for a friend’s e-journal that never saw publication. I had wanted to do my part in putting good, useful information online for practitioners, something I didn’t see enough of. Did I succeed? I don’t know. I still think the site needs more practical information. And I really should update more often. I still don’t think the site has made any big waves in the metaphysical community.
But what began as yet another project on the side two years ago has become an indispensable part of my spiritual practice. This blog has not only become my outlet for distributing my public spiritual work, but it has also become a valuable learning tool. I believe I’ve learned more writing this blog than anyone else has learned from reading it. From the beginning it was a dream of mine that one day my blog wouldn’t be filling a gap in the community, but that there would be a plethora of sites like it maintained by practitioners who wanted to share some of their knowledge publicly. I’ve seen a few good sites appear since starting this blog, and I’ve been directed towards a few others that were here before me, but they still seem to be a difficult to find rarity. If you’re a practitioner, I’d suggest and encourage starting your own blog and website to publish information and thoughts, if not to selflessly give something to the community, then for the selfish reason of advancing your own spiritual attainment.
As for the site, my name is Rob, I’m a practitioner, and this is my blog. It deals with everything concerning magick. I’m very good at keeping it on-topic. Feel free to give your opinion or ask questions in the comment sections, and if need be you can email me directly. I make new posts when I can, which is, unfortunately, not often enough. I try to respond to every comment, although it sometimes takes a while. My sidebar has a list of links that I think most people will find informative.

Hello and I really appreciate your website and sharing. You mentioned that you started your own group that is open to community members and I was wondering how one finds out more information about it and getting connected. Is it in the Los Angeles area by chance? And if not, then do you know of a group in the L.A. area that might be good to connect with for those interested in learning about magick from practitioners such as yourself? Also, can you share about what the best ways to learn about magick for the practitioner, as it seems that in cities like L.A. there is much commercialization of magick, “closed” or “limited” sharing of information, and much of the information does not seem to go beyond the superficial levels.
Thanks so much and please keep up all of the important sharing that you are doing with this blog,
Ree
