Looking for paths un-journeyed!

[Lux]

Merry meet everyone!

glad to finally start participating in the forum! I've admittedly just been thread creeping for a while. I'm a solitary witch from Canada who is really looking to explore more variations and paths that I have yet to discover. I'm also looking for a sense of community, I've just moved to a new area of Toronto and I'm hoping I can find more witchy/occult gatherings in the area I'm in now. I used to live in a very christian dominated area and I was hard pressed to find an occult community in general. As you can guess I'm also looking into broadening my online presence and community!

Just out of curiosity, can anyone suggest some keywords/topics that I can research? I'm always looking for new ideas.

Welcome. What are your interests? We have a search function on the forum, but I would need a bit of direction in order to suggest keywords. You mentioned paths. That might be a place to start.

Welcome aboard.
I highly recommend looking through our Wicca 101 forum. You may find some things of interest there. Also, the Book review subforum may be a good idea to look at

Ah sorry I wasn't specific enough.

Currently I'm researching:
Gnosticism
Hermetic Magick
Vampire Magic

I'd like to know more about:
Tengrism
Kabbalah
Shamanism

Hopefully I'll expand on this list soon. I feel like I'm only at the tip of the iceburg.

Welcome to the forum.

My list is constantly expanding... I kept thinking the more I read, the more I would know and the shorter that list would get. Wrong. Dead wrong.

Hi DarkHeart,

Good luck in Toronto. I'm originally from Montreal, which has a wonderful Wicca and Pagan community; but the city destroys my spirit! I'm out in the mountains up north now and loving it. The solitude is bliss

I personally eat up everything about Wicca and Paganism. Though the items on the following list aren't all considered "paths" I am always reading about them, because I learn so many new things that compliment my own solitary eclectic path:
Kitchen Witchery
Cottage Witchery
Hoodoo
Faerie Lore
"Old Wive's Tales"
Moon Magick
Weather Lore
Superstitions
General folklore
Animal Totems
Astronomical folklore
Celtic Mythology
Floriology
....seriously the list goes on, but each one is fascinating and expands my mind and spirit as I keep learning!

My last research was about Eismagie, Ice Magic, not the common spells and rituals with ice, not that, I'm talking about "path of the empty hand" (this is my best translation, sorry), a mix of martial arts, Norse religion and all kind of magic. Is a hard path, there is a terrible lack of information and there is currently no covens. I think it is an un-journeyed path.

Thank you for all the suggestions! I'm researching like mad!
