Hello everyone, my name is Julian Invictus. I'm a 34 year old non-binary Stay-At-Home parent of two #autistic children. To be honest, I always struggle with giving an #introduction. Perhaps that is because of my self-diagnosed #autism, I don't know. Yes, I am part of the #twittermigration.
I chose to migrate to the Pagan.Plus instance because a number of people I follow on Twitter recommended it publicly. When leaving Twitter, it struck me that I had a choice regarding the type of community I wanted to join. Social Media was largely a tool for the last three years to promote myself as a Twitch Streamer, but I quit that in August to focus on just being a Dad and trying to sort out my own identity outside of content creation. Given the choice, I decided that I wanted to be part of a community where I could feel safe just being Weird. So I decided that the people I wanted to follow from Twitter to Mastodon were the type where I could talk shop about #esoteric, #occult, #mystical, and/or #spiritual things and most folks would be chill and open to those subjects.
My journey through alternative spirituality has been as meandering as anything else in my life. I started with #wicca, then moved on to studying #norse #paganism under a Heathen Godhi who was my mentor until he passed away years ago. We met in a class on #mysticism at my alma mater, The University of Kansas. Of course I have experience with #chaosmagick and creating #sigils and I participate occasionally on the #dkmu Discord server as well as #thesorcerersguild on Facebook. At this point I like to refer to myself as a "wizard" rather than any type of #pagan, and my major practices are internal alchemy and mysticism with a keen interest in apotheosis. I do a lot of trancework, practice Tarot divination, and I'm a big fan of Tommie Kelly's #fortyservants for divination and evocation.
I also write #poetry and work with #WonderApp and #Stablediffusion on #AiArtwork.
