What in me is dark illumine

About Me


I'm a musician, artist, writer and photographer. Everything I do in life involves creativity.
I'm very spiritual (NOT religious--big difference). I have been studying and practicing all aspects of spirituality for at least 17 years. I study High Magick, and I follow both Light and Dark paths. I believe there is wisdom to be gained from both sides, so I could never limit myself to just one system of beliefs. One day I'll be reading about Krishna Consciousness, the next Satanism.

I feel deeply connected to Darkness. I truly believe you can't grow spiritually unless you experience the "dark night of the soul". But I am as equally attuned to the Light. I am passionate about all subjects occult and esoteric. I do not practice spell-casting and other forms of "low" magic. I need to develop my spirituality beyond simple spell-casting.
This profile was created as a place to post my spiritual musings and philosophies and ponderings, the occasional dream, other metaphysically- and spiritually-related subjects, and other random thoughts. I keep many diaries and spiritual notebooks. This is just one of them.
ATTENTION BANDS: I just want to let you know that I am using this profile only for spiritual purposes. So I am not accepting band friend requests here. But if you send a request to any of my music profiles, I'd be happy to add you! The addresses are:

www.myspace.com/thegloom (goth/alt)
www.myspace.com/theimpatiens (punk)

If you're a female in a heavy band, or a heavy band that has female members, you can also request to be added to my profile promoting women in heavy music: www.myspace.com/hellhathnofurymusic
Thanks!

Music:

Everything from old-school punk rock to metal to psychadelic to 1970's schlock.

Movies:

I'm very picky about my movies. Most of the stuff coming out of Hollywood these days is so crappy. I like old-school horror, anything dark and disturbing, but it has to be well-done. However, I do also enjoy really bad, cheesy B-movies. Sometimes there are some movies that are so bad they're good! For me movies either have to really good or really bad. I also like documentaries.

My most recently-watched movies: Blair Witch Project, Carrie (original), Hellraiser & Hellbound, The Hills Have Eyes (original), Amytiville Horror (original), The Gore Gore Girls, The Wizard of Gore, Sleepaway Camp

Television:

I rarely watch TV, but when I do, I usually watch: Most Haunted, Nature shows, documentaries and other educational stuff, 70's re-runs, Seinfeld, The Sopranos, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Sex in the City

Books:

I read anything...I have many interests. I mostly read books that I can learn something from. Especially books on spirituality and Magick. Grimoires, encyclopedias, text books. Yeah I'm a total nerd.

Heroes:

Frida Kahlo, Vincent van Gogh, Timothy Treadwell, Julia Butterfly Hill, Bob Hunter
