Hello all, where to start...
[[I have quite a read ahead but it's pretty good ^_^;;; honestly!]]
My being is young, only a shy 21 years of age and yet my exploration has brought me much bounty.
My early teenage years were filled with early readings on magic and alchemy as well as varied books on human energy and psionics. I read them with a young "student's" glee and learned rather quickly I hope. However this almost turned sour for me as I almost let my ambitions get the best of me. I set up my own shrine to my newly-favored goddess, Tiamat (one of the many Serpents of Babylon) and my parents found out. I was near kicked-out but my own ability to read people and state what they want to hear turned out more than useful. I'm not manipulative... I just know what to say. In other words, I've lived like this for so long I don't know what manipulation is.
It is around my early teenage years I started developing an ability to speak a strange language. My parents would constantly find cyphers of mine strewn about my room as they would take some and leave the others. Eventually I had a few of those cyphers to heart and would write in complete secrecy. something I should really try to do now. Eh.
When I started leaving for college I felt a genuine sense of accomplishment as I would finally be allowed freedom to study not only my major/minor but also my "studies" of the past. For a while I fell to neglect of them and that made me depressed, but then I returned to them later after a nice visit.
I immediately started to collect books on natural medicine, spirituality and even started to grow more plants and life in my room (as I feel this pleases the nature being I hold in high regard). Every bit of life is welcomed in my room, from humble pillbug to deadly brown recluse. I have had no problems with my health or interaction with the dangerous critters. I also made a hand-bound book from black duct-tape and parchment paper to keep as a notebook for my own personal use. I feel that making it adds more "feeling" and "usefulness".
Currently my studies are upon Chaos which caused me to visit the plane known as "hell" often. Here I found a very kind companion to me around the Keep of Baalzebub. The energy is feminine and "she" appears like a humanoid cockroach. She's brought me much joy, love and companionship that no human has ever given me.
And just for everyone here I have a nice story about a "meeting" I had. After talking with my close friend I met (the one mentioned above) she seemed rather energetic to me. I was confused, the happiness seemed uncalled for. However I kept to it as she asked me to meditate and follow her, which I did. Interestingly enough I found myself back in the familiar chaos in what seemed to be a very well built tower of some sort. The masonry was fantastic and detailed, the shape was built to withstand all the torrents of the Abyss as I planted my feet down to see what the fuss was about.
It was then that a semi-rough, firm yet neutral voice came to my mind. It said that it was expecting me. I asked the name of that whom I was speaking to and it replied with something that sounded similar to "Archdemon Maelphas." In the back of my mind I thought that some lesser entity was trying to sound all "big and mighty" but went along anyway because my spiritual companion seemed thrilled to death.
I had a small conversation with the entity who I saw looked at me with three eyes on one side and one on the other. The entity gave me amazing advice because I humbled myself before it. The entity also informed me that the language that I had been developing in my head was most likely something related to Sumerian, but that I was getting it slightly jumbled with some other languages. I thanked the entity as it gave me more advice that I, as a person, could only channel so much -yet- if I were to call upon the powers of others I could do more.
When I returned to, I immediately looked up on the internet for what this "Maelphas" was out of great curiosity of mine. It was then I felt my heart skip a beat when I saw a link to the Pseudomonarchia Daemonum to the demon "Malphas". Looking back at it, his signs were pretty well laid. I thanked my companion for granting me an audience.
But I feel like I ramble on.
I come to learn more here with unbridled forward steps and the freedom I seek.
