I should've started here but I've had other things on my mind [neutral3]

Greetings! I'm Aalen/Harvester/Copper. I'm a girl/woman from south america.
I am new to occult studies. I started last year and decided to dedicate more time to them since.
Any books/material you'd recommend I start with? Blogs also appreciated!

As a sidenote, share your music with me! [yay]
I'm mostly into metal/folk but I dig other genres as well.

Hi Harvester. Welcome to OF [yay] .

Did you listen to Nightwish and Deathstars?

Welcome girl/woman from SA. I hope you find what you seek.

That signature of yours is precisely what my alarm displays to me. Funny.

Cheers

Cheers Napoli! Thank you!
I dig Nightwish! Although I really miss Tarja's voice.
I haven't heard of Deathstars, any songs you recommend from them?

Cheers and thank you, LoneWolf!
Likewise I hope your search is successful.

Blast! What are the odds?
That's an interesting coincidence.

Hi Harvester!

If you are a complete beginner you could try Franz Bardon's works starting with "Initiation into Hermetics" as it is relatively easy. I can send a link to it if you are interested.

Hello Mr. Fenrir!

Yes I'm pretty much starting from 0.
I've heard of Bardon's works but hadn't looked into them- Yes please send a link! I'm already pumped [yay]

I dig it! I think Synthetic Generation hit closer than Death Dies Hard symphonically, but they both have catchy instrumentals.
Thank you for sharing!

Thanks Fenrir! I skimmed through and got a .pdf
Do you mind if I ask you for more books once I finish it? [blush]

I also put it in learning order, if you have problems PM me.

Greetings and welcome!

Not alot I can recommend at this time in ways of Occult books that would help you out, though the Ars Vercanus is a good one if you can get it (I got my copy on Amazon). It says for advanced practices, but I didn't find too much that would necessarily be too difficult once you learned the core concepts which is explained in the book... plus it has a very good guide to the energetic body and the three major etheric centers that I haven't really come across in other books! Not that I'm well read in alot of them, but still interesting to read on

As for music... what type of metal do you like?

I see you like Nightwish, you may like the band Visions of Atlantis. Their Trinity album and Ethera album is very good, I recommend the songs Through My Eyes and Tlaloc's Grace personally.

Blind Guardian is always a good choice. The Bard's Song:In the Forest, Skulds and Shadows, Theatre of Pain, and Bright Eyes are all good songs, plus so many others.

I have plenty more bands depending on what you usually like

Hello and thank you Caerdon!
It seems a bit advanced for me but I'll pick it up at a later time, thanks for recommending it! [grin]

Metal.. well I'm not stuck to a genre but I often swing between folk/black/prog/power. How about you?

I'll check them out- also Blind Guardian is one of my favourite bands of all time. My brother introduced me into metal with them- Though I dig all their albums and don't want to pick a fav song Wheel of Time is a song I keep going back to ♡

Do share! Also thank you for dropping by and sorry for replying late haha [crazy]

Welcome Harvester, what do you enjoy most from what you have already tried?

Ah, if you like Blind Guardian, have you ever heard of the band Demon's and Wizards?If not, definitely check them out I do agree, Wheel of Time is an amazing song! I always return to Blind Eyes or Theater of Pain myself. Actually, their whole Somewhere Far Behind album is just a good listen.
I'm more of a Heavy/Prog/Power/symphonic metal fan for the most part, though I dabble in just about all types in one way or another.

Other than that, some other bands you may like are Iced Earth, Labyrinth, Symphony X, Pain of Salvation, Elven King, Highlord (I highly recommend their earlier stuff such as Heir to Power, When the Aurora Falls, and Breath of Eternity. Medusa's Coil is quite good as well. Haven't kept up on their newer stuff though). Kamelot is a good band, and you will probably enjoy Ayreon.
