Hello there people,

my name is Alec and I am new to this forum. I am very interested in all form of the arts and philosophy. Literature, music, visual art. Also very interested in the area of government, politics, and social relations.

I've done A lot of study on religion through the ages: Judaism and the Old Testament, the Rise of Christianity, Gnosticism, Ancient Greek mysteries, paganism, etc. I put Heathen in the title because I identify as an Asatruar, or what some would call an Odinist. Words for a Norse Pagan. I am very much interested in the Occult and esotericism.

My favorite book is probably Paradise Lost, and musically, I listen to a lot of Metal, Folk, Classical, Hard Rock. I am an avid musician. I also like a lot of old 70's classic movies, The Deer Hunter, Taxi Driver. Also a lot of old Grindhouse films.

Anyways, I hope to sharpen my mind once again here, being in early recovery I need to once more dedicate myself to the study of philosophy of all forms.

So I hope to talk with you all here and contribute something positive and constructive!

Thank You!

Oh yeah, my username Sol Invictus means "The Unconquered Sun" in Latin; Sol Invictus was a sun god of the late Roman Empire.

O quid solutes est beatius curis?
Cum mens onus reponit, ac peregrino
Labore fessi venimus larem ad nostrum,
Desideratoque acquiescimus lecto.
Hoc est, quod unum est pro laboribus tantis.

Lol I am unfamiliar with Catullus. I have actually unfamiliar with the old Roman poets; I've only read a little of the Aeneid. I wish to read a little bit of Ovid.

And I had to look that up on Wikiquotes; I don't speak Latin.

Anyways thank you for a good quote as a greeting!
