First and foremost, I would like to thank the Gods for never turning their backs on humanity and never giving up on us.
Second, I would like to thank all the Clergy for putting in the time and the work so that the efforts of the Gods can manifest and be maintained in this physical realm.
Without going into too much detail I will say this about myself, I have always been the kind of person that deeply valued spiritual knowledge/power and art, specifically painting. I always wanted to go to art school but unfortunately, it just wasn't in the cards for me.
However, I never truly stopped drawing and painting and tried my best to teach myself through free online courses and youtube. I still have a very long way to go and for those who are interested, check out Proko on Youtube he is a great resource
After school, I landed a slightly above-average paying job but I was absolutely miserable because I knew in my heart of hearts that I was not utilizing my artistic ability to its fullest potential and in a meaningful way.
One night when I was working late, I just remember having this extreme emotional buildup and frustration and I looked up into the sky and said '' Satan I know you can hear me, I try not to ask for help unless I think it absolutely is necessary but I truly need your help this time'' Later that evening,(or a couple of days later I don't exactly remember the time) something quite out of the ordinary happened to me and let's just say I met someone who gave me a shot into the kind of life that I wish I had since childhood. I would even go as far as to say, the kind of job that is so right for me but somehow I didn't think of it before. As if this was done by a being that knows me better than I know myself
But the reason why I was able to make the most of this once-in-a-lifetime shot was because of the things I have learned on Joy of Satan. I always knew I had potential but I just was never able to reach out and grab it and make it work for me if that makes sense.
1)I was unmotivated
2)Undisciplined
3)Couldnt stick to anything more than a couple of days at best
4)Didint see the value in small steps so I would just not even try (10 push-ups is better than 0 push-ups. 5-minutes of meditation is better than 0)
5)Abused drugs + video games
I'm not going to say after dedication all of these changed within a week, it actually took me a couple of years to settle into myself and make some profound and lasting changes. When I first found JoS I thought I was going to be that prodigy kid who mastered telekinesis/astral travel in 1 year.
However, I realized to be able to do these things I needed a strong skill-building foundation which I did not have and unfortunately, no one ever taught me. So with the help of this website, I taught myself. These teachings later translated itself into different aspects of my life. For example, when I did the chakra opening meditations/the 40-day program by HP Cobra I knew I in fact did have what it takes to stick to a program that is a month long.
There is so much to be said but,in closing, I am so incredibly grateful to the Gods, to the HP's, and to certain members who have been here forever, you guys truly are like a family to me. The idea of being able to log in here and just talk about magic and not be publicly ridiculed is something the young me thought they would never have. Finally, I am so proud of myself for being able to make all this happon for me.
Thank You
