After moving to Chicago in 2022, my social and sex life began to expand in a big way. This slowed down my progress on the A.’.A.’. curriculum but as I neared the end of my probationership in the spring of 2023 I finally broke through a wall. Some relationship trauma needed to be worked through and I was given a great opportunity to heal and grow. Once I had addressed and released that old pattern, my focus returned to my studies and I was quickly received as a neophyte in the order.

That summer was incredible. It was like I had been relieved of this incredible romantic pressure. I no longer was trapped by desire, and instead was just open and receptive to the people and relationships around me. As if by magic, once I no longer desired these external pleasures, I seemed to be surrounded by them. My life became full of joyous and fun sexual and romantic connections. My relationships flowed with ease. All this time however, my feet moved steadily toward my spiritual goals.

Incredibly once I moved through that old wound, it was like the weights were lifted and my skills that I had honed through years of relating to people as a wounded man- I was now able to put to work as a fully integrated warrior. My own gold began to shine in my heart- and this would one day lead me to my true path. Not only was I seen as a powerful and integrated man- I was able to so easily guide others into their own power. It was like breaking through what I thought was an unbreakable barrier and suddenly what was once such a challenge became trivial and fun.

My day job flowed with ease. I got a promotion and a raise, which helped support me as I continued my work with developing an online presence. Much like in my romantic life- my online presence really began to grow on its own once I relaxed into my present life and relationships. I was not expecting to be at the center of a developing lodge of occult practitioners, but that energy brought me into contact with some incredible minds which would in turn inspire me to create.

That period was a greatly inspiring time, that would include much growth and experimentation. We would together begin to develop some magical techniques that are still widely in use today. It was during this time that I started to think that maybe - I was part of something . I didn’t know what at the time- but it began to feel big.
