Hello bums! New here and I love the occult.

[middle_path]

I'm so thankful that this community exists, and that it's active! Within the past year I have gotten more and more interested in occult studies. It has always been a fascination of mine, but discovering MindandMagick's youtube channel really brought it out of me. He is a practicing magician and though I am not, I love hermetic philosophy. 

 

I've always been a lover of Buddhism and Taoism. I've gotten into the Kybalion, Franz Bardon, Joseph Campbell, the Law of one, and numerous things here and there. I meditate daily. 

 

I would really like to begin some energy work, but have no clue where to begin, or what I'm looking for. I do have an issue with masturbation and I hear that it drains a lot of energy. I have been trying to stop, and I can always manage a few days, but once I'm alone it just happens. 

 

So I know very little of qigong or thai chi. I don't know of any groups in the area, but I could look. But I feel most of my journey (at the beginning) will be solo. Thank you.
