Nungali Posted September 30, 2013 Hello all. I only found this site this week and have read a little here and there. I have various interests in a range of subjects in the western mystery tradition and indigenous 'shamanism', both from a subjective participatory level and objective cultural anthropological level. Â I will be spending some time sifting through the subjects and posts looking for the little gems of wisdom and insight you have scattered about, hopefully I can offer some of mine in exchange?

Chang Posted October 1, 2013 Hello and wlcome to the tao Bums Nungali. You will find much here on your subjects of interest. Â Please take the time to read the two pinned posts at the top of the Lobby and also take a look at the forum terms and rules http://thetaobums.com/topic/19575-forum-terms-rules/ before moving on. This covers all that you need be aware of as things are pretty easy going here. Â Good luck and best wishes, Â Chang Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nungali Posted October 1, 2013 Thanks Chang. I read the pins and rules again ... just to make sure. I like it 'easy going' too. Â Yes, there does seem a lot here in my area of interest and also some people that are a repository of knowledge (the sort I like; not 'new age speculation off the top of the head' - I have had enough of that for the moment thanks ). Â Also I noticed there is some martial arts interest ... which I have as well ( my experience is in Kobudo, Shorin-Ryu {Matsamuru Seito - i.e. the family tradition as opposed to the temple tradition} and Akido , with a smattering of other stuff). Â I got a black star and I haven't even been naughty ... yet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nungali Posted October 2, 2013 Oh I see ... thanks for explaining everything to the 'new guy' Â - I meant the black star next to my name on the Lobby index. Â What does 'Banned technician' mean ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
