All things start with a beginning.

My name is Joe (last name withheld for security reasons), and I am a Magician.
Actually that's a simple title. I'm a Sorcerer, Cartomancer, Astrologer, Geomancer, and several other things to boot.... What does all this mean? Well, for one thing, it means I don't tell a lot of people about my studies. Most people take a dim view on the supernatural in general, and view practicioner's as insane or misguided at best, or a threat to their way of life at worst. I've been doing this since I was 16, with a deck of Rider-Waite Tarot Cards, and a copy of Kraig's Modern Magick. The people that I know personally that know about this I can count on my fingers.

So, what is magick? Well there are a lot of definitions. There are two I prefer, one is from Aleister Crowley. "Magick is the Science and Art of causing Change to occur in conformity with Will." Another is from, of all places, a comic book called the Books of Magick. "Science is a way of talking about the universe in words that bind it to a common reality. Magic is a method of talking to the universe in words it cannot ignore." In simple language, Do cause A. And effect B happens, sometimes with no apparent interaction between the two.

I don't make deals with the devil, though angels pop up from time to time. I don't put curses on people, though I know folk who do, and its not outside of my ability. I'm here just trying to get along in life the best I can, I just have a few extra ways of doing it.

I have friends that are interested in starting to learn, I'm there to help as needed. I have friends that know and are a bit skiddish about it. I'm there to alay fears for them and show them what they want to learn or not.

So that's a beginning. You'll be hearing what I do in detail. So if your up to it, tune in, if not, not fine too. You'll hear what I'm doing and how it effects me, my friends and my family.
