Dave Outlandish was born in southern Alabama and lived between there and Oregon as a child. Dave was introduced to ceremonial magick by his father, though he was raised Mormon for the structure. Dave learned Occultism and Demonology as a teenager, making his pocket money reading cards and selling charms. Dave joined the Army and went to Iraq, and after coming back went to school for a while before deciding to work full time in his chosen field of Occultism and Demonology.
