I grew up interested in magick from a very young age. I never had Christianity shoved down my throat as my mom thought it best to find my own belief system for which I am very grateful.
I believe that our lives are what we make of them. We can't sit back and expect the universe to give us what we want or even need in life. It's all about what you put into it.
I don't really think there is a "meaning" to life but that could change someday. I stick mostly to occult studies, mainly left hand path stuff, but am open to discussion on other things along these lines.
