[Official] Can WF do more for you?

[SkullTraill]

Soon, I will be posting an update to the WF Roadmap, outlining some changes to the structure of the forum, new sections to be added, and an early preview of some of the donation/subscription perks. All this will be to keep you informed and be able to voice your opinion and make me aware of how you will receive and benefit from those upcoming changes.

@ryen will also shortly be posting an interest-check thread for a fun and useful new idea he has for WF that I will help him implement.

But aside from the above, I would like to know what WF can do better for you, how it can be improved, and how I can encourage you to spend more time on the forums.

Please feel free to vote in the (anonymous) poll, and post below in this thread, or in the Suggestions section if you would like feedback from others.

I’d love to have a book club (hell, I’d even offer to do the work, if there are some more people interested). Something where we pick a book for the next month, start reading on the 1st and have a thread in the forum so everyone reading can discuss. Maybe we take suggestions the last week of the month, run a poll to ultimately choose the book. Biggest issue would be getting people interested.

One of the goals should be to include a lot of different topics, not just Crowley or Brand, but works that aren’t as well known. Expose everyone to new ideas.

Would be great if you could do an interest check thread in general, and if you decide to go ahead with it, I'll help in whatever way I can.

Definitely, the biggest issue is getting people interested... we only have 300 or so members, of which only about 100 are active even on a once-a-month basis. But I think it's a good initiative to start even if it's just a few members at first, because it will definitely attract more people from within the community as well as from outside.

Maybe some subsections in the two Right Hand and Left Hand. Like one for Angels specifically, one for Goetia, Grimoires, modern Grimoires like NAP.

 

[Yazata]

Maybe it would be cool if, like once a month or so, someone wrote a pathworking. Based on one of the Major Arcana, or the Zodiac sign the moon is in at that time, or whatever. Could be fun.

Book writing support, were the rough drafts are Bata red and corrected, were credit is given to contributors 'if desired', with the possibility of the book eventually being published by MF, for members to purchase.

Interesting idea. I'll think about how to implement this. Main concern right now is that the section will be almost empty.

Is there already a section, for this? I'll post, something.\ there.

For occult related topics, if there is not already a section for it, then it belongs in general occult discussion. When something gains decent traction/thread volume, then it can get it's own section and threads moved there. Sort of like what happened with book thread and the library section.

Hi. Thanks for the forum. Love it.

My only suggestion would be forums for areas of occult practice that are popular. Examples include Ceremonial magick, Hermeticism, neo-"Shamanism", maybe the runes.

 

[Öwnchef]

Yes, it is well done, thank you indeed!

 

[DiLoco_DelEted]

It's an awesome site. I think more professional, well-known magicians on here would be helpful, at least in terms of interaction with newbies/clueless veterans to magick. In terms of tougher questions/more obscure topics that eyre experienced with.

I mean these categories already exist under different names, imo. If you think some names should be changed, or new sections added, would be good to hear about it in Suggestions so that others can vote on them too.

We need more experienced Magicians who has knowledge and kind to answer question, Admin did his part, now is up to us to put in the work like Admin did.

 

[DiLoco_DelEted]

Maybe a FWB thing. Do rituals for others, but somehow ensure only those participating from start to finish reap rewards.

 

[WisdomAddict]

Its all good here,
The place i ever wanted to be a part of it...

 

[8Lou1]

bigger players dont just come to a site, they need a reason for our silliness to evolve.
lately im out of silliness and nice interconnections, but i might still have some grumpy old farts hiding under several stones.

Im on board with this.

I think one thing that would help beginners is a good range of topics that get them up to speed quickly (albeit my candle magic tutorial was a bit sparse), and perhaps a Magical FWB group, where for six days everyone does a ritual for person X, the days that we get off in hindsight are not that much, and we can get a lot accomplished for people.

I think the benefit we have over other magick forums is the range of topics to discuss, not just magick. We should ramp up on this types of posts as well.

Finally, what I should be doing, is research on everyone of my questions and doing everything stated in my journal. Get A Job appears to be a successful ritual.

I would like to make a suggestion:

* Create sub-sections in the "Book shares" category dedicated to different topics (e.g. Magick (Ceremonial, Chaos,...), Hermetism, Witchcraft,...). Within these sub-sections, perhaps also create threads by authors?

This would make the section more orderly and user friendly for individuals looking for certain topics.

Thank you for your great work SkullTraill - it's appreciated.

SkullTraill... I was going to make a thread dedicated to you. Since I feel so naive of not giving you the respect you deserve. And, I am honored to be apart of community that you created. I thank you. I never gave you my thank you for what you are doing. So, once again... I thank you so much SkullTraill and Yazata, and Kjeno of course Love you All.... just showing my graitude!
