Hello from Germany
« on: August 26, 2014, 03:48:02 pm »
Hello,
today I found the courage to log in into your community and hope that I can connect to some nice people with an occult background. I am from the former GDR and interest in occult matters is not common in this area. Therefore I feel very lonely in my occult aspirations.
I practice witchcraft. And when I compare my experiences with the different forms    witchcraft in my books (a lot of books - I love books) I would put it into the field of Traditional Witchcraft or Conjure. But I don't claim that my work is genuinely connected with a  profound cultural background. I rather bluntly steal from them (eclectic - if you want so) to refine my techniques to connect with the (long uncontacted) spirits of my home land.

So in short: I hope to make some friends.

Thank you for your attention.

Hello! I bet chanting and invocation sounds so powerful in German; I've been wanting to learn the language ever since I read Rilke's Duino Elegies. Your English is great – do you use both languages (or any others)? I study Japanese and I incorporate a lot of the mythology into my occult practice, so I like to use kanji. And French, when it sounds more beautiful lol. If I could pronounce German properly I'd want to use that too.

What sort of backgrounds do you borrow from?

Hello Matsukaze
Thank you for your post.

German is my mothertongue.. but we learn English and French rather early in school.. but I cheated a little bit.. I studied English and American Literature next to my main subject.

To be quite frank.. I do magick when in Gnosis and prefer to speak as little as possible.
But then the decision is akward because most books I read are in English and the German translation sounds very funny in my ears.

German is not as difficult as Japanese. You could give it try. One time you should try Turkish. It is an agglutinating language and very, very poetic.

I borrow heavily from the texts of Nicholaj de Mattos Frisvold and Lee Morgan. Then Robin Artisson, Cat Yronwood, Foxwood, Greer and Grey, Black and Hyatt....
