A merry new year to all first of all. May the blessings of our mother, GAIA the Earth, shine upon all of us in all of it's forms.
May your spirit guides support and help you.
My real name is Tony, I am 36 years old and all of my life I have had an interest in the spiritual, the unknown, the occult.
I am portuguese, I was born in a relatively high christianized environment. I was a troubled child, I didn't grew up in the most perfect of homes, I was shy and my genetic heritage tends to nervous system disorders.
So, as you can see, growing up wan't that easy. And grew worse as years went by. The way I tried to compensate for all of this was to get answers from some ( any ) kind of spirituality. These days I am still looking for some kind of definite answer ( one of my faults is that I am very inconsistent and tend to move on when I don't find what I need, or find it fast).
I tried answers in the bible, but realised being a christian was not my cup of tea. I read books from author Haziel, on Angel magic and rituals. It worked for a while until I realised I wasn't too far ahead from the Good book. I was still a very submissive person for my own taste. I delved in semi-deep occult, mixed with paganism, until I realised that rituals dealing with hurting another soul were not something I could live with, nor would I ever try to perform one even as a rightful revenge.
So, I moved along, am sort of lost right now, that's why I was led to this place, probably in search of some kind of guidance.
Not meaning of course, that I don't have my own beliefs and standards in life, just that I hope to learn as well as spare whatever little drop of wisdom I might have.
To be more precise, I believe in the respect for all living things, the acknowlegdment of the sacred feminin, spiritual guides, animal guides, and nature in all of its forms.
I also read Carlos Castañeda, which I found very interesting, romances about Druidism, and Marion Zimmer Bradley, mainly the Avalon quadrilogy, and The Firebrand, a romance about Cassandra of troy, which moved me deeply.
My astrological sign is Libra and chinese is Tiger.
Lets see each other around the Forums and I hope to be worthy of your trust.
I can't edit my profile right now, but feel free to message me with anything you'd like. Oh, and one last thing, I love black cats. I hope to share pictures of them ( my pets ) when possible.
