myself. Not much to say, except that our lovely moderator invited me aboard a while back and I jumped on. I have not been available to get involved until today, and my computer time waxes and wanes.

I am interested in seeing what this group is like. I tend to be a loner to a large extent as far as magick is concerned, though I am an initiate of the Hellenic mysteries, and many others...and perform large group ritual. Love it, too.

My more every-day ritual is more on the chaos wave-length...not all easily explained, but I work a lot with sigil casting, blood magick, runes paired with cutting, intention setting, and every once in a while a tumble head first into the abyss. For reals. It's happened without bidding since I was young. Not always fun, but usually worth the trip.

I am not a speaker of mathematics, but love chaos theory. Living systems theory also makes a lot of sense to me. Biopsychology, existentialism, anarchism and Neruo-Linguistic programming are all solid building blocks for me.

I know that chaos magick is often about dissembling those blocks, but that is the natural impetus for me. My grasp on "reality" is pretty damn fluid. I have an easy time changing my mind. Really changing it. Like, from the ground up. It's finding ways to maintain my grasp and build some pillars and walls where I need to work. And have worked at it already for years.

I just got back from a better than two weeks road trip, presenting workshops in many major northwestern cities. (If you wanna see what I do you can check out my site at <www.lasara.us>) Away from my home, my kids, my partner for a tour...and when I'm on the road, Chaos always rides shotgun. I am a big fan of The Ride as a spiritual initiation. I leave as one thing, and return as another. So, coming out from under a big wave of chaos, currently.

Thanks for being here.
