Q-Link & Witchery on the Pre-Internet

Sir Thomas at this point was a pretty skilled programmer in Basic, and navigating through Usenet, the Online BBS systems, and creating some pretty magical applications evoking daemons, and doing computer wizardry. He was in his senior year of High School. Enamored by the movie “Weird Science” he came up with tons of odd ideas for computer magic. After a brief stint of athiesm, he knew he was not alone. Another glimpse of a shadow being from the corner of his eye once doing homework in his room, and a few more haunted house tales through his time in history, not to mention a couple of successful ouija board sessions with friends in the local graveyard … pushed the young mage back into his quest of knowledge over the occult. Having practiced at this point his own mix of Santeria meets Classical witchcraft, Egyptian Mysteries, and Catholic magic he was thirsty for more. That november, his Commodore 64 popped up with a new BBS system called Quantum Link/Q-Link. Little did he know this would turn into AOL and the World Wide Web someday very soon. As he was interactively chatting with new friends around the world, he began correspondence with a witch where he was planning to go to Uni. This male witch, awoken the knowledge that there was such things as Wiccan Covens that he could join when he came there. He started to delve deeper into “Wicca” and the practice of “Modern Day Witchcraft”. Through Q-Link … he was networking with witches, druids, shamans, and others with like-minds and interests around the world.
