Who can be Epical?
Anyone...namely: YOU.
Unlike other dark societies, religions, factions, movements, trends, cults, subcultures or what have you, to be Epical is a mind set. It's not governed by what you wear, what clique you're in, what color you are, what political party you belong to, what school you went to, what talents you have, how much money you make, how old you are, whether you're able bodied or not... To be Epical is to be about YOU and you FIRST.
Many endarkened subcultures seemed snobbish or discriminating. That annoys me. Catholics, Episcopalians, Lutherans, Baptists etc, no matter what, all of them are still considered "Christian" yet they are unified under that one term different as their religions may be.
Not only that, endarkened subcultures carry almost a burden or stigma within them. They are linked unfairly to heinous acts and crimes against humanity. Epicalists dance the fine line of lawful organized darkness.
As previously stated, to be Epical is a mindset. One of an endarkened nature. You can be any age, any color. You believe in a force of darkness that guides your day to day and flows through your veins and your very core. You believe that you follow a path opposite of the norm. You root for the villain in the movies. You feel that you should be allowed to do nearly whatever you desire short of taking life unjustly.
To be Epical is to celebrate EVERY part of your life as if it were a triumphant plot in a movie. The movie that is YOURS. When more than one Epicalist is together, your lives intertwine in an Epical adventure. You seek to live your life out to it's emotional fullest. Emotional instant gratification is tantamount and grows exponentially if done in groups to add to your lifes script.
You're life CAN be as fabulous as you desire. To be a drama queen is not the plan, but to celebrate the drama of life can be exciting if you let it. The key word there is "Epic" in Epical. No one can judge you in an Epical society. There are no dress codes really save for thinking on a bigger scale. Your creativity is yours to explore and dramaticize.
To be Epical is to be interested in the the ethereal. To believe in plains of existence beyond this one. To believe that there are forces in darkness that can be used as tools for the day to day. To be Epical is to believe that only the proven and tangible exist even in the ethereal plain yet let a portion of your mind be open to the unexplained.
To be Epical is to believe that's it's rituals are those to enhance the dramatic effects of life. In most occult practices, imagery is used. Imagery is the belief that what you say you are is so and that you believe that with your heart and mind so as that imagined product may come to fruition with the inner power of your mind.
For some, imagination leads to acting out your fantasies...to live them. Your fantasies are products of an active imagination. Imagination shapes the will you wish to come to fruition when you wish to tap the ethereal dark energies of our plain of existence and the plains that coexist unseen.
