Witchcraft and the supernatural - experiences

I've had some occult experiences forced upon me.

Then I've done a bit of experimenting, just to kinda see if the basics are "real".

I learned 2 things about the occult knowledge.

1. A lot of people who take it up as a lifestyle, seem to go a bit bonkers. (Sorry, if any practicioner feels slighted, but that's been my observation as an independent non-religious (at the time) observer.)

2. It's like any other specialised field of knowledge, and very similar indeed to engineering (I think that's why I got the interest) in that if you don't know what you are doing, you can get "burnt" and learning how to do it without a mentor who knows you well to guide you is likely to be frustrating and dangerous, unless you are being used in some way. If you do enough and work hard with some practices you will meet different (and I mean different) entities.

That's all the truth I have to tell, about a HUGE subject.

Please note: the field is full of misinformation, dishonesty, and to honest, plain ignorance of common sense. 

The cautions I have given, should not be ignored, they came from watching people "get it wrong" some of whom (just like those who took up drugs or motorcyling or aviation) are no longer with us in this world, and some others are "maimed" by their experiences...
