Magic Forums

Hey everyone.
I am pretty new to this whole idea. Ive always read about it and was interested in the idea of magick. However, I never had the time nor money to actually research it quite thorughly. So if something required me to either borrow a book from the library or buy a book or anything I would have to ask my parents for the money or a ride to the library as a kid. Which in turn would get a rather drastic thats a bunch of mumbo jumbo speech from my step father and the whole thats worshipping the devil from my deeply rooted Christian grandmother.

Being grown, Now I can really look into what I can and get information with out the judgement from family. I am the type of learner that I must practice something in order to fully grasp the idea of something. I am strong in my knowledge of Social Sciences and languages. History especially. I know a lot about the history of the world and how most beliefs if not all have done nothing but evolve into more including the belief of Christianity and todays most common religions. Now all I want is more information on how it all evolved from and what exactly it is. I believe that todays religions are deeply rooted in the world of Magick and the Occult. So here I am trying to find things to practice and see how it all really works. Any tips or advice? Maybe some more sources to check out?

Truly,
A.G
