I started my path when I was 16, almost 17.
I will be turning 18 in a few months.
As you may comprehend, I have studied the Arcane Arts and the Esoteric for a very short amount of time. I do not rush into things, I prefer a more natural and stable evolution - making sure not to cut any corners as that will certainly end in disaster.
Most people on /fringe/ are rather young, I'd say 20 years old on average.

19 is when I started really learning about things. Though I had some metaphysical, literally otherworldly experiences in young childhood and have been manipulating energy for as long as I can remember. I only just intuited but the smallest amount of knowledge that way, after I started for real, I quickly surpassed nearly 2 decades of experience in a summer.

I have been wizardly for about 15 years now.
But I'd like to say this;
Your brains are still properly functioning at a young age.
Most wizards are young. This is because age calcifies the pineal gland. You will experience diminished abilities as you age unless you counter this.
Youwill hear stories from old people about how they could 'do' stuff when they were younger, but lost it as they got older.

I've read that 'awakening', that is, becoming more aware and interested in esoteric subjects, has sped up; in the near past it took decades for individuals to reach the same point that some of us reach in a matter of months or years, meaning more people "catch up" with the rest more and more younger.
I was born "aware" but I had my "awakening" when I was nearing the age of 18.

Im gonna say this as a word of warning to all you kids messing around with the occult, you may think you know something but you dont. Your mind needs to be focused on higher things when opening yourself up etherically. An attitude of atheism and teen angst will make you prey to malevolent entities which you may pretend do not even exist, until its too late.
If you really want to learn something, move out and go where your intuition guides you. If your heart is right there will be a beautiful explosion of synchronicities teaching you things that a thousand books could not.

….I don't know what I am, but I do know this.
My first memory was waking up in the backseat of a car.
In front were the people who I now know as my parents.
When I woke up, I was supposedly about age five.
However, I did not recognize my parents.
I didn't recognize the car.
I didn't recognize my own home.
I only understood basic english phrases.
I remembered nothing else at all, not a single thing.
Not a single person, not a single place, not foods, not smells, or feelings, or even what pain was. I had no concepts of anything except basic english phrases, and as time passed, I simply realized I suddenly knew things, things I had never been taught, or spoken to about. Simple things like toys or other common objects would pop with great in depth information the first time I held or played with them.
Perhaps it is difficult to understand or explain, but I do not fully believe I am who or what I am have been told I am.
Ever since that first day I have never been able to shake the feeling that I am missing something. That something is horribly, awfully, god awfully wrong right now, and that it's staring me in the face, but I have no idea what.
Sometimes I lay awake at night, wondering what I really am.
But yeah, enough edginess. I figure that if wizardry of any kind is real, there are other forms of magic, and I would at least suspect that I would therefore possess some capacity to it, and that perhaps my circumstances were related to this phenomenon.

One of my first memories: I open my eyes from darkness, I see an imaginary landscape and I can see in 360 degrees and inside my own perspective. Then I can only see in 180 degrees and I'm looking at the same imaginary, light blue landscape, it looks like water color. I'm falling from airborne. There is a spiritual wooshing. I close my eyes. I open them and I'm standing in a field in texas and I'm kind of dizzy. I hear the thought "So this is what the kids [here] feel like."

Around 17 when I started tripping balls, which gave me intense precognitive dreams, although I had such dreams beforehand. I wouldn't recommend tripping, but it can help you just start your development, although psychedelics are the most dangerous drug in all honesty. The drugs did decalcify my pineal gland, which was a really strange experience having it opened so fast. I had no idea what I was doing until months later when I read about it. I would not recommend drugs, although I have met shamans and stuff who still smoke meth occasionally.

Started somewhere around 16? Im 20 now. I consider myself more of a psychonaut than a spiritualist at this point. Intuition comes so naturally to me I was controlling wind and ommunicating with my cat early on. Recently I've become interested in manipulating my physical body through neurochemical shortcuts so I can better receive and sense energies(as if it wasn't easy enough).
At this point, from seeing no energy and then experimenting with different drugs, I see jetstreams of energy in the sky Auras on plants seep off dark wispy smoke. I can now feel energy at a level I could not have reached this fast through practice alone. It's also drastically increased my intelligence and abstract thinking. Though I know a lot of you "wizards" presume taking drugs to gain enlightenment is bad, I have found there to be more profound truths attainable is such a short time for myself than any meditation I have done. I taught myself my own trance meditation before I knew what it was. At this point I can barely meditate for more than 15 minutes without being overloaded, and I can usually handle large reserves of energy.
I used to suck, but I always caught on fast. Before the drugs I was a complete scrublord. After, somehow it put me on the fast track to evolution.

I have a few memories from before I was 5. I moved to the next town when I turned 5 too. I remember my old house, I remember the backyard. I remember my dog and play structure. I remember the hot as fuck girl next door(teenager) that I was crushing on hard. I wasnt even 5 yet and I felt attraction. I was never really "conscious" till 10th grade. I had personality but operated on autopilot. It wasnt until I went through depression, bipolar, and schizo did I truly become conscious. I dont ever remember being "conscious". Just there. I cant even begin to try and feel attached to that version of me because it was not me. I think some people just need to establish a jumping off point for their life to feel comfortable. The farther back you go the more interesting shit you find. I just wanted to interact and socialize with people but that translated as "play with me!". At this point in my life, I realize thats exactly what I want to do, my base passion. This comes directly from the ego. Your physical body is a representation of that, and you donr fully develop your conscious awareness till later. I probably had it in bits and pieces but couldnt fully use that awareness till it was nore developed. Its let me separate the ego from the awareness. Your conscious memories from childhood are probably just the ego. Unless youre some super sensitive 5th dimensional spaghetti messiah, it was most likely just ego
