Oh, I agree that the term "Fluffy Bunny" is derogatory. It was meant to be. It was coined by those Neo-Pagans who got sick and tired of walking into their Occult stores and seeing $ilver Ravenwolf books on the shelves, telling their readers how evil and vile the Christians are. Or seeing D.J...

I wrote this on another forum, and thought that it was relevant to this topic. So voila! FAQ: What is a Fluffy Bunny? This is a difficult question to answer, simply because there are many ideas regarding what constitutes a fluffy bunny. In this thread I hope to provide an overview of the...

Hajimemashite, Sidhe_Uaine-san! Hai, genki desu. Anata wa? I'm attending the University of Regina, in Canada. :)

~Fiction As Inspiration~ My Chaos Magick paradigm is the RPG Exalted by White Wolf. ~Non-Fiction As Inspiration~ The Sun inspires the entirety of my spiritualities. From Buddhism to the Occult, it's the Sun that serves to spark the most creativity, devotion, and sincerity.

WHKeith hit the nail on the head. Though the Necronomicon's origins are in fiction, it's effects on the magickal world have been very real. I'm one of several individuals who can't actually open the Necronomicon without being overwhelmed by nausea and a buzzing sensation in my head. I...

Konnichiwa, mina-san. I am the Rain of Brass Petals. I am a Buddhist and an Occultist who is very much interested in interfaith dialogue and discussion, as well as Taoism and Shinto. I have found that it requires a great deal of self-discipline to discuss such matters without resorting to...
