Harry Dresden Is Good Company!

OK, I've been thinking too many heavy thoughts tonight here: time to loosen up! For sheer fun while keeping your feet still wet in magick and such, you just can't beat the "Dresden Files" books. Harry's a down-to-earth private investigator and the only listed "Wizard" in the Chicago phone book. The ...

"The Nature Of Personal Reality"

I read this book when I was just starting college, around 1977. That that point, most of the New Age-type stuff I had seen had been along the lines of Cayce/predictions, van Daaniken oddity/archeological/Pyramid Power, etc. Bach had given us "Seagull", that was like, the vision-opener around then. A...

"The Great Gatsby"

My favorite book (impossible to pick one, btw... maybe give me 10 choices) but I'd say "The Great Gatsby". On the level of words, it is one of the most beautiful reading experiences one can have: it's poetry. On the level of structure, it has one of the most elegant, simple, clear plot constructions...

Ah, be gentle, Sir. Many of us had the experience of Blum's being our first book on the runes, our first rune set, our base of runic wisdom. Personally, I found it a satisfactory intro. The mythology at the beginning gave context whilst remaining readable; the rune interpretations are distinct enoug...

This was a good book. Easy to read and understand, and very much stimulates your imagination and involves you. Gave me several "I think I got it!" moments. This principle, that The All is contained in everything, and everything echoes everything else in some sort of multi-dimensional hologram that a...

Had a similarly spiritual experience at Ayers Rock. It blew this Mississippi boy's mind. I expected it to be "cool-looking". I got a two-day stay in heightened reality. I had no desire to climb it, was kinda revolted by the idea, actually. I "did the circle" instead, walking around it alone. That ex...

I'd like to second stormgirl's closing point, there... you are very young, and inexperienced with relationships. You're still learning how to get to know another person. The kinds of hopes and expectations you are projecting onto those you meet, those are thoughts that shouldn't even be an issue unt...

I wish to align my will with the Universal Will, and become a true servant to, and agent for, my Master.
I wish for prosperity, to allow contentment, clarity, and choice.
I wish for companionship on my journey, to share the wonder. If that may be a romantic love, then may it be so.

Thank you.

50yo Southern Male Seeking My Own Path

Hello. I'm a 50 year old American male. I was raised in a fundamentalist area of the South, but by a mother with New Age ideas: I would come home from Baptist Summer Youth Camp to bookcases filled with Seth and Edgar Cayce. In school I was drawn to the sciences, especially physics. By the tie I was ...
