Good afternoon. I live in Sao Paulo in Brazil. I study as much as I can on Taoism, Buddhism, Hinduism and other religions of various cultures. I had an idea to study mudras, more precisely - the Kuji Kiri and came across this magnificent site of Taoism.
I was born in a Christian family, I was baptized in the church but since I was a child I did not align with this religion but I believe in Jesus Christ as an avatara, wise, very powerful.
When I was a child, I studied the scriptures and I was always praying but still I always got into trouble. I always had a hard time. It took me a long time to date. I couldn't understand the math lessons mainly, I had few friends, and I was always badly treated at school and in social places.
People call me crazy and smart. I don't think smart because I didn't guide my life to the destination I wanted. I missed many opportunities in life out of extreme fear and ignorance, very afraid of everything and everyone, shyness.
Nowadays, I have this message ... I ended up trying to study the various religions but always the magic, the occult, the philosophy were lines of study that I always studied. Sometimes I stopped, but as now I'm coming back, hit my spirit to study mudras, kuji, breathing and meditation.
I have Tao Te Ching but it is a book that needs guidance from a master to understand it deeply. It is a scripture by Master Lao Tse. I am passionate about Chinese Culture and Chinese Occult Knowledge .. Chi Kung, Wu Shu, Kung Fu, Taoism, Buddhism ...
I am a shaman practitioner. I even participated in indigenous shamanistic rituals. I took Ayahuasca, daime tea a kind of enterogenic tea that makes people see the spiritual world and on the tea trip I saw a female entity wanting to kill me (she seemed linked to my ex-girlfriend who often said she wanted to kill me and that's why we broke up) on the spiritual trip I saw many things how life worked and such. I saw that there is a spiritual charge of the past for the ancestors, something charges men, men are always addicted, sick and crazy and drunk and I don't want to go this way.
I do rituals and in the midst of these rituals, this site (Taoist Sorcery) appeared precisely in my search to practice mudras but came more information that I did not even know, such as Taoism Talismans.
My late grandfather was a spiritist, a medium, prayed beating drums in an African religion. I helped people with their spiritual knowledge and I believe I am unwittingly called to it, I just want to fix my life work, get a better mind more dynamic being less dumb and innocent, unlocking my sentimental, loving, creative, financial life, ...
I'm not lazy. I've always been working. I don't want anything free but I've tried everything and see myself in a circle repeating things ... I want to be an important person, developing a job in the world, a good job.
Anyway, I am not against Jesus Christ. I pray to him! I happen to like to study the magic arts too. I like to study other religions and shamanism. I always put Jesus Christ.. Buddha and others forward in my prayers but I believe in other arts.
I'm going to sleep as I have to work.
Feeling thankful!

Short Note from Taoist Sorcery Master: Understanding the Tao Te Ching will guide a person to find peace in this chaotic world. A person who follows the Folk Taoist Path, can pray to all gods and spirits of any religions of their liking. If a person become a Christian, he is not allowed to pray to other deities or spirits of other faith, which is stated in the 10 commandments. It becomes a contraction between faiths.
