The Occult Research Society

Note: We have a GGN forum now. This thread is going to remain for recruiting purposes and as a place for members to hang out and chat. For any guild topics, go here: http://www.gaiaonline.com/guilds/index.php?guild_id=8138

Secret knowledge, supernatural forces, "unnatural" abilities and non-mainstream religions all fit under the umbrella term: "occult." This guild exists for members to share their knowledge of the occult, based on their specific interests. This is a scholarly guild, dedicated to the knowledge of its members. Mystery creates fear, but knowledge creates understanding.

How this Guild Works

Things will change a bit once we have our GGN guild, but for now, this is how things will happen:

There are two main classes of members here: Teachers and students. (And no, this isn't some cheesy high-school RP thread.) Teachers, who double as mods, have been hand-chosen for their knowledge of specific aspects of the occult. Students are simply common members who's here mostly just to learn.

Anyone can ask a question about anything with an occult nature behind it (i.e. werewolves, Wicca, aliens, enochian chess, Golden Dawn, Aleister Crowley, the spread of Christianity through Europe, cats, etc) ANYTHING that can be considered occult, or which relates to the occult is a good topic. Our teachers will answer the question to the fullest extent of their abilities.

Discussion, and asking further questions about certain topics can be continued as long as you wish, even after a new topic of discussion has begun. Also, even if you're not ranked as a teacher in this guild, as long as you back up your post with references, feel free to answer any question or start any topic. If you can and want to answer a question, do it!

Each topic, and further, each point of discussion in each topic, will be indexed, using Gaia's ability to link to individual posts. If you ever want to find a certain topic, simply look in the index (located in the 5th post in this page).

Guild Rules

*This is NOT an RP guild. We are an actual study group. We don't pretend to prance around naked in candlelit circles. Some of us actually DO that IRL, but not here. This is a discussion guild only.

*Follow Gaia's TOS. That means keep it all PG-13. If you want to go beyond this, such as to share specific tantric techniques, post a link and a warning to a site off of Gaia.

*If you are starting a topic or answering a question about a topic, please try to post reference links. This lets members check the validity of your argument. It's not required though, so don't feel like you can't post a wonderful pearl of wisdom just because you can't find what page, chapter and verse it came from.

*Have fun here. I'm not going to be uptight and strict about anything here. Feel free to post off topic anytime you want. All I ask is that you don't post off topic and in topic in the same post.

Just curious, but how will this guild/thread be any different than the other 5 or 6 really good ones out there that already exist here on Gaia?

Well, for starters, we have people that know what they are talking about. We look at occult aspects a bit more logically than "the goddess wills it to be so" or "We're just psychic! Go Cleo!". We can provide both technical and spiritual answers for most questions (granted we are human so don't expect us to be super megabrain from Futurama).

Also, most people are a bit more mature than the other threads are. Not that I'm saying that all threads are swamped with "OMFG! I CAN DO MAGIKZ AND TURN MY EYEZ PINK!! LAWLZ!" kiddies, but the leader here has been a pagan and studying the occult for the last 6 or 7 years, so he'll know what he's talking about and will be able to say something or answer a question in a more mature and comprehensible manner.

Its ultimately your deciscion to join though. Its basically a study or discussion group. Anyway, we hope you do decide on us, as we are in need of some members.

Ah. I see. Sounds interesting...I'll think about it, and thanks for your comprehensive reply. I've been on the Path for about 6 years now and I'm loving it. Eclectic Witch is what I call myself, as its' more specific than just Pagan or a Witch.

I've been brushing and glancing at the occult for a while. Its more a point of fascination more than it is a religion at this point for me. Which is why AMOA will probably be answering questions pertaining to specific points about paganism.

This will probably sound like a stupid question, but what exactly is an Eclectic witch?

Anyway, we hope you do decide on us, and if not we do thank you for taking an interest in our guild. ^__^
