Hello occultists!
Due to recent misunderstandings and trend of activity on the forums, it seems that many members find that their preferred paradigms are being under-represented.
A fair deal of demonology and chaos magick related items have been the most discussed topics in recent weeks. This cannot be helped. There has been a small influx in new members who wish to discuss them. It is up to a person, individually, to discuss what they want.
As such, and as always, we encourage you to start new threads or continue discussions in existing ones of your preferred paradigms, especially if you feel that your own subject is being under-represented and not attempt to limit discussion of other paradigms. Cross-paradigm confusions and disagreements are a common thing, and as an occultist you must be able to either defend your beliefs or have an open mind to accept that magick, and the occult, is a broad-spectrum of theories, ideas and realities, and different paradigms may have different explanations or terminology for one same subject.
Being a forum that specifically caters to an eclectic approach to the occult as a whole, please remember that the occult is our primary topic of discussion. When people here ask questions they generally expect occult answers, not mundane advice that can be obtained elsewhere. This place is not for the protection of ethical thought, or analysis of other people's individual morals. Apart from any general advice you can give as a human, remember that there is a time and a place for intensive ethical debate, but not every paradigm holds the same definition of the word, and sometimes certain barriers will be crossed in order to fully understand a system in its entirety. This doesn’t mean that you need to be unethical, just keep an open mind that what you see as fact, others may not.
We will never limit, in any way, especially for anyone's personal preference, any discussion on any specific topic.
With that out of the way, let us now address the under-representation.
The OccultForum School Of Magick is currently understaffed, and we need people willing to be teachers, to take up the Green label of usernames and help create a variety of tutorials and guides across all paradigms.
Likewise, our Resources board will also appreciate stand-alone tutorials, essays and guides. If you have time to spare, please volunteer and write up something! It will mean a great deal to grow our in-house list of resources instead of depending on external links. You are especially encouraged to write for the Angelic Arts, Shamanism, Witchcraft and other "under-represented" paradigms. You are also welcome to collaborate with other members!
Submit your works to either me, Nahemah or Clockwork_Ghost. I'm pleased to announce that even at the time of writing this, we may have new tutorials already on the way. There are no restrictions, even duplicate topics will be accepted as well as they will provide different perspectives towards one subject.
The best way to be a part of a community is to contribute!
Thank you for taking the time to read this, and we hope to hear from you!
