Hunting, you say. Pandas. Boars. With spears. And bows. ... Has anyone here ever killed an animal? Killing chickens is a messy, bloody work. It always saddened me, and I saw that a lot when I was younger since, well, I grew up on a small family farm. I can still remember, me being 6 years old, firml...

Chaga is a bit bitter to taste, you can use lemon or perhaps fresh stevia. I use lemon sometimes. But I'd like to focus on this for a bit; The full benefit of a formula depends on your lifestyle (no sugar or caffeine, no alcohol and etc.). This is why I said drink chaga+marigold. Your body needs som...

Here's a list of what I'm using when I feel mentally/psychically out of shape for good meditation or shamanic journeying. I tried it twice already and I can say it works pretty well. Chaga mushrooms tea Depending on your diet, drinking chaga can take 3-4 days to cleanse your body from various toxins...

Thank you - I'll do some research on Tengu and Shugendo. However; These paths may lead you to what it is you seek. I'm merely interested into learning more about said creature(s), not summoning them or anything similar. I guess reading about stuff doesn't fall along the lines of 'fucking around with...

The stage is set, I'm waiting for the show.

Your cat in the box is clearly this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schr%C3%B6dinger%27s_cat

As for your questions, I believe you answered them yourself. [grin]

I agree the whole departure part is unnecessary. When I just got here at first it left an impression of a community that's very connected and even intimate to some point. But in reality it's pretty much what you wrote already. Also, there are other members who doesn't post frequently, perhaps they a...

I found this name online, specifically here: http://realitysandwich.com/151289/shamanic_truth_evil_spirits/ According to author of the article, Akuras are 'evil spirits' that ''...hates anything that is green and alive. They feed on darkness and fear." First part of the article tells about his ...

Here's the thing - I'm beginning to think God(s) is completely real by observing things a bit backwards. Let me try to clarify this. What is real? It is how we experience the world around us by our senses, right? For example, if I can take a rock in my hands, smell it, taste it, see it - it is real....

If you honestly believe Nicki Minaj is at the same artistic scale as Valentina Lisitsa , then I don't see a reason to continue this discussion with you. I wanted to come back to these two examples that you provided in discussing "art", because I see that far more artifice went into constr...

It really is, since the only thing separating "high art" or "high culture" from the low-brow or kitsch is the pretentiousness of those who see one variety as being more noble and worthy than the other. That is completely wrong. Structure, subtlety, emotional resonance with audie...

For me, that is where their real value exists - not as truth, but as whimsy - purely decorative and yet culturally enriching because all things cultural are really kitsch when you get right down to it. All those things that distinguish one group of people from other groups are basically elements of...

Jan Fries - Visual Magick: A manual of freestyle shamanism

Easy to read, practical. The author doesn't take himself too seriously, and doesn't beat around the bush - it's pretty straightforward and contains a lot of useful info. (got a recommendation on author here on OF - thanks for that)

Share your thoughts about the book once you read it please.

What I meant by Solidity was, you know it made an evokation in my mind. I am not going to define Solidity or Science. But what I meant with "Science is solid." was that Science doesnt contradict with logic but Occult does . Science can be prooven but Spirits cannot be or supernatural powe...

Never heard of that term, but that's why I use OF.

Thanks for info!

Isn't that philosopher's stone? [rofl]

Welcome, it's good you decided to register.

It probably would. Guess I'm not so young and reckless anymore.

It's great you have interest in your art and you're going to a therapist. It means you are wiling to fight, and that means you're a tough nut to break. :) I won't bore you with details - I've been in similar situation. It seemed completely pointless to keep going. Among bunch of other bad stuff that...

Nope, but it has crossed my mind. I'm returning to place that's for sure. I want to get more info from local people to figure out, among other things, why they avoid it during night.

Bears can be tamed - it takes skill and time, but it's possible. Aside from stories on the internet, I never met anyone who tamed a wolf. You talk about some things completely outside of any context. What's extraordinary to you is mundane to me. It's subjective. Bear, for example, has nothing extrao...

The idea of this topic is to share your special places (duh). [grin] Whether those are altars, places where you perform certain occult work or just places where you felt something. If you're comfortable with it, please do show us a picture or two, or tell us a story about it. I'm sure lot of people ...

You say you can't see anything magical in wolf, bear or an eagle, which says more about you than those animals. Also, 'chameleon is more magical than bull' - that doesn't make any sense. You say chameleon changes colors. I say bull can stomp chameleon with ease. Or run faster. Or provide food for my...
