Occult Day 2022

Occult Day    
The word occult refers to things hidden from view. It is a reference to the supernatural as well as mystical, or magical beliefs, practices, or phenomena.

There was once an adventureous side to my existence which has abated over time. It was a time when I actively pursued the activities of the occult. I was even once foolhardy enough to attempt to evoke demons. I was once one to attempt the casting of spells.

I gave the subject of occult techniques and practices conscientious and lengthy study reading many books on the subject.

I once thought I would put a root on you if you messed with me. I once delved into places and things better left alone. The occult, while fascinating is likewise something with which I ultimately chose to respect and mostly avoid. I recall naive sessions at the ouija board when I didn't know those other worldly things I've experienced since.

Then there was my foray into actual magick and conjuring — and that further reinforced my avoidance of most things occult.

I no longer pursue the supernatural for reasons of my own: I feel that based on personal experience there are forces and entities out there better left to their own devices and other things which should not not be delved into.

You can do and say as you wish but a paranormal investigator is something I will never be at this stage of the game. The thought of picking up some entity attachment due to foray or folly is simply not what I need or seek. The opening of portals and triggering vortexes likewise no longer attract me for fear of those consequences with which thus far I have not been forced to deal.

That "bordom" which is reality (or how I viewed it) suits me just fine these days. For I am older and wiser now and MUCH less impetuous or risk taking than I once was.
