What Led Me Here ...
My journey began in earnest about twenty years ago, initially wading through the art and humanities of what it actually means to be human.
Looking back, that pull was inevitable. I’ve always been an intensely deep-thinking creative. While classically trained, I bucked convention early on: where the traditional approach starts with the broad canvas and fills in details later, my instinct has always been the inverse—to dive straight into the microscopic engine at the center, decode the grain, and work backward into the macrocosm.
As a young adult, that expressed itself as a drive for raw, visceral immersion directly into the elements. My art found form through physical design with stone, water, and soil—and at play... let’s just say I lived enough life for two of me.
Roughly a decade ago, I hit that existential crossroads. When the deeper search ignited out of sheer need to unbury myself, consciousness became the only frontier that could hold that level of inquiry. I immersed myself in the history and mechanics of the ancient mysteries, tracing the thread of the alchemical masters from the 1100s up through the Edwardian era. I was fascinated by the traditional lodges that gave birth to the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and the modern Western Mystery Tradition.
Because I did not find my way into any institutionalized lodge or outer temple, I forged my own exploration straight down through the classical texts. I love the beauty of the ceremonial, but over time the science and the art reveal themselves entirely within. As the work deepens, external ritual tools undergo a necessary redaction; the mineral instruments fall away, and the human organism itself becomes the living altar and primary conductor.
That descent eventually landed me in the Nightside current. Studying both classical and contemporary works, I gravitated toward the well-regarded "renegade" practitioners. The Typhonian transmissions and the mapping of Universe B is where I work from now and have found my home.
What led me right here, right now is that exact search for convergence. After years of solitary excavation, you reach a point where dogma and labels fall away entirely, and all that matters is connecting with independent travelers who are mapping the same underlying physics of consciousness from their own vantage point. Seeing your focus on where independent streams converge resonated immediately. When you strip away the outer ceremonial costumes, the true mystery school has always been an empirical science of consciousness—learning how awareness inhabits and animates the flesh, and experiencing reality as it actually is.
