Re: Describe your path
Gods, not so much. I give homage to Celtic and Viking gods during magick rituals, as a tool, and also because it's part of my ancestry, and sometimes mix elements of Egyptian, Voodoo, and H.P. Lovecraft.
Although, I do entertain the hypothesis that the gods could have been an advanced civilization, or alien peoples.(the Aesir, in particular, had great technologies and such, and I'm sorry, but Stonehenge and the great Pyramids HAD to have been done by E.T.'s)
I practice Chaos Magick, which is based on the premise of chaos theory. Originally espoused by Austin Osman Spare. The idea is to reach a state of gnosis, through creative, imaginative, and any other means,
for the purpose of making the conscious experience a sub-conscious experience.
When the conscious thought becomes a sub-conscious belief, and by-passes that filter, like chaos theory equations in a computer, the sub-conscious breaks these rituals and symbols down to basic form and keeps on working to solve the "problem" until it's worked out.
It's funny because these equations end up eventually taking real world shapes.(shapes of mountains, moving ameboids, and water ripples) and these are created souly out of the algorithms fed into the computer, which works them out without any input from the user.
So, basically, all existence can be explained by math, and by chaos theory. Everything is a product of chaos.
I accomplish the same affect in chaos magick by a number of different means. I'll write down a spell, or incantation(though it's usually just a very specific statement of intent) then I'll take out all repeating letters, and create an artistic sigil.
This is similar to breaking down math problems to their most simplest form, and then solving. Only we're working with thoughts instead of numbers.
At random times the sub-conscious mind will send off measurable(though the origin, or "will" of it is immeasurable) electro-magnetic pulses, similar to soundwaves, they travel 3-dimensionally in all directions, and oddly enough at the speed of sound as well.
They exit the skull(this has been scientifically measure) and vibrate molecules in the air. By law of association, particle A, affects particle B even when it's moved far away, and if B comes into contact with particle C, because particle B also affects A, and C, simultaneously, C affects A by extension of B, and so on.
I use other rituals, and elements, but really the goal is to induce gnosis(no-mind), by belief(the ritual aspect), to cause the sub-conscious to actuate it.(the end result) Emphasis is on creativity for sure.
I believe in reincarnation and the world tree so-to-speak, but in a more...scientific sense. I try to explain it scientifically.(which I think is very accurate, even though many scientists would disagree because divinity=not science, right?)
I also believe, sort of loosely, in a type of karmic cycle, similar to that in Buddhism.

What rituals do you practice and for what purpose?

Do you believe in the Afterlife or Otherworld?
