what can you tell me about your craft which is not attached to external entities.
for instance:
source of energy
casting
shaping
imagery techniques
sensitivity training
devices
and most importantly-how does working magic feel to you?

My source of energy is the combination of imagination and the FORCE of thought. Casting feels like the energy is just draining away and doing whatever. Shaping to me is seeing the end result in my head and holding it there until I accept it as a reality. For imagery I use arcane symbols from Nordic runes to the necronomicon (read it, its a very sad story then he ate some shrooms) candles and an imaginary overlay. I don't have a magical work out per se and I could probably use one. Devices take the form of random things I find along the way which just Have one significance or another.
to me magic feels like Heat, Pressure, Heavy. Like I'm flexing something in my head.

If I may ask, why do you refer to yourself as a wizard?

Arcanist Angus If I may ask, why do you refer to yourself as a wizard? Mostly I just identify with it, call me chauvinistic but I don't much like the term witch. I don't claim to be a heavy spell slinger, but i do my fair share of research (and I will tell you it is a chore separating what could be useful from "interesting theories"). Sorcery, at least form my sources, is big into contracts with supernatural entities with loopholes that could hang you and eviscerate just for starters. And I don't follow the law of three, life just is. But just in case, no it is not based in Harry Potter.

Please correct me if I am wrong. The term witch is not really gender specific. In modern culture this is usually believed to be the case, but looking deeper we know this is not true. However, in Scotland and such men who practiced "Witchcraft" were usually called fairy doctors, or the bonny old fellow down the road what heals you! I would like to see the source for a sorcerer binding supernatural entities to their will through contracts. I have never heard of this. One does not have to be anything to follow the rule of three. I am a witch and I do not follow such a rule.

Eliphas levi (a self claimed sorcerer) in his treatise on Egregores which from his writing were half of the time thought forms and the other half autonomous entities. I had no intention to insult any faith, path, or way. But in my mind I associate the whole with what I know of the few. I have much to learn in every way and more, but this is the path I tread.

voyagerXIII Oberon Zell Ravenheart? never heard of him. what sort of books did he write? A self-claimed Wizard. Some of things you said reminded me of his writings. voyagerXIII Eliphas levi (a self claimed sorcerer) in his treatise on Egregores which from his writing were half of the time thought forms and the other half autonomous entities. And do all sorcerers follow Eliphas Levi? I know of only one person currently that calls himself a sorcerer and that Jason Miller. He defines what he means by this quite well in his book The Sorcerer's Secrets: Strategies in Practical Magick voyagerXIII I had no intention to insult any faith, path, or way. But in my mind I associate the whole with what I know of the few. I have much to learn in every way and more, but this is the path I tread. Where are you getting your definition of Wizard, if I may ask?
