~ Om Namah Shivaya, Shivaya Namaha ~
(My username is a combination of Kutulu -- the spelling of Cthulhu in the Necronomicon -- and Tiamat. Any Lovecraft/Necronomicon buffs please say hello :D )
To begin with the beginning, I was first drawn to the Occult through my love of fantasy and horror books, movies, TV shows, etc. In retrospect, I suppose I held out hope that some great unveiling would occur, and I would find out that I had nothing to fear -- that I actually belonged to that world. I have always been most interested in what could be going on just out of my sight, and this constant wonder is what feeds my ambition; I want to uncover the whole Truth.
I was about 11, maybe 13, when I began to discover the body of literature dedicated to the serious study of magick. It was daunting and confusing, so I dabbled on-and-off for a few years, periodically returning to refresh my knowledge and try again. Everything fell into place gradually, and I still continue to learn many things every day.
My moral and spiritual beliefs lean heavily toward Buddhism, particularly the Mahayana sect. I was not raised in a religious household, so this way of life developed naturally and gradually from my interaction with my inner and outer worlds. I am where I am meant to be. Concerning magick, I would consider myself a Chaote: I draw on any sort of inspiration that I deem fit for my spellwork; basically, whatever inspires awe and gives me confidence -- I can be elaborate and flamboyant, or utterly simple, depending on my mood and desire.

I'm very passionate about traditional/classical Japanese poetry, art, fashion, and custom. I love love love books, but for the time being I'm more of an admirer than a creator. I'd like to be an author someday, but I have yet to find my muse. I'm working toward fluency in Japanese and French, and I'd like to take up Italian sometime before I die.

I'd like to offer Tarot readings, to help whomever I can however I can and improve my psychic sensitivity. Send me a PM or say hello in the chat :)
