How did you get started into magick? what sparked your interest? heres my story

Ive always felt magick was real. I felt energy...talked to the dead(my grandmother) and even had the will to predict things as a child. I disregarded it. A few years ago i started buying books and researching about wicca. I practiced wicca for a while then once again disregarded it becuase it had too many rules for me. and i wasnt THAT devoted to the earth. I then made my own path Santi-Magick which is basically a mix between necromancy and many other things. I still practice that path buti study more the anything so you can say im a Magickal Historian lol.....so howd you become interested with magic?

Well it all started when a little show on tv came out called CHARMED!!!! lol i knew it was fake but i was like hey you never know.
Then...ofcourse....HARRY POTTER!!! YAy!!!! LOL
I dont know why but these two things got me interested.
I started looking things up about magick, stuff like that. bookstores, webpages. and i eventually found this site. Thats my story

Lol... well my story is actually very funny in some ways and kind of wierd...

I have always been close to magick, and the farthest memory i have of using magick was when i was 6. Since i am a natural empath my empathy wa strong when i was younger so i would always cry very easily if someone else cried, i would get mad very fast if someone else got mad, etc.

Now it was about 3 years ago when i actually strated practicing magick. My mom bought a ouija board when we went to buy risk, and so i wanted to use it. When i used it for the first time it worked and i got the crap scared out of me but i kept using it. I used it contantly, then i went online and started looking for protection spells because i started to get weak when i used it.

And after a little while i got some friends intrested because they came in once during a ouija board seance and they got haunted (another story) and then i started practicing magick in many forms. Eventually (nearly 2 and a half years later) i foudn this site and began to share my knowledge!

Ok mine is a very ..........how do you say it,,a wierd story.
I was born into a native american family that was very spiritual.My grandfather was a Shaman,but my grand mother was the teacher.I was taught Native American Shamanistic ways from a very early age.
I allways had a close connetion with the spiritual,supernatural side of things.
As a young person I was very much into the darker side of things,and I acted and did things without feelings or remorse.
As I grew older I felt the need to balance the scales for the bad I had done,so I studied and became a Minister in the Indipendant Christian Church.After a while I became dissillusioned wth the church(I dont meen all churchs,just the ones I was with)I left the Church and started to Go back to my roots.
Thats where I am today,I practice many different styles,with some inluence from all of my past.As well as what Ive studied and learned since then.

I began meditating long before I started practising magic, purely because it is a good way to deal with stress. I started taking an interest in magic last year when I found a book on magic (Spells, Charms and Amulets by Pamela Ball) when my dad was clearing out old books. I took the book just because I found the topic interesting and then started collecting things liek crystals and candles for their magical properties, but have only just got up the courage to start using them. I am still quite new to magic, really.

I still haven't told my parents about my interest in magic because I thought it might be a good idea to wait for a while to see what their feelings are on the subject. Yesterday we walked by a shop with a sign saying "CLAIRVOYANT - PALMREADER" on it and my dad went on a rant about how they're lying thieves just after your money, so I'm too scared to tell him now.

Is it the practice of magick that they hate?
Or is it that they think their fakes and simply out for the money?
It could make a big difference in the reaction you might get if they were to know your feelings about Magick.

Then by all means Kry keep it too our self,if your not comfortable telling them.
As a parent I would rather know what was going on in my kids life,and try to help if I could,but I also understand that my son might have worries about telling me what he was doing,lol.
I would only ask that you think about the possibility of them finding out,and if they did,and come right out and ask you,that you try to give them the respect of an honest answer.
Again these are just suggestions ,,what you do is now and always will be your choice.
Im jut saying what I would like my son to do if it was him..Peace
