She Continues
This post begins a series on the Guardians, and this post serves as my overly broad introduction on that topic. My knowledge of the Feri Guardians comes primarily via T. Thorn Coyle, but with some inflection from other sources. I have learned that many Feri initiates considered the Guardians initiatory knowledge, lore only to be shared […] … Continue reading…The Guardians: Part One
I started writing an article on the Feri Guardians, but I found myself referencing the Wyrms that Are Wise[1] (WtaW), and I realized, well, I should probably talk about the WtaW. All symbols are alive. Or they can be. Or some are more alive than others. Some symbols are more alive for some people than […] … Continue reading…Wyrms that Are Wise, Experientiality, Otherworlds
Ivo Dominguez, Jr. in Casting Sacred Space recommends—I’ll call it an exercise—but he recommends engaging in your own mythopoeisis. Write your own myths. Reach inside and articulate your myths. Now, I’ve recently done something similar as a series of trance utterances that remind me of the rune poems—my powers and abilities and tricks and knacks […] … Continue reading…Myth, Belief, Art
I started writing an article on the Wyrms that Are Wise, but I found myself needing to start here, much as I started Antic Delights with these concepts. Early in my renewed, twenty-first century practice, I started setting up a shrine/altar, as one does. Now, some people have very particular definitions for shrine and altar, […] … Continue reading…Representation, Symbols, The Riddle of the Shadow
[Most recently edited 9 December 2017] I began this blog—as “antiquated” a concept as blogs have become—because a god asked me to do so. So I did. I had been keeping a magical journal (“grimoire” as I pretentiously like to affect to myself—and sometimes here) back at some point prior to 2013. I began in […] … Continue reading…Re-Introduction, Premises, Declarations
Pondering a refocus. Maybe something less transcriptiony of unorganized notes and something a bit more—focused? So, as I said, pondering. … Continue reading…Meta-Next
Sometimes, aligning works. Othertimes, I feel like I’m pushing against blocks or aren’t connecting. This morning—and I’ve been far better about daily practice than I had a while back—I aligned, and I felt meh about it. I then recalled I wanted to send Y out on business. I began an act of power, and in […] … Continue reading…Practice, The Flow, Trance
On my walk today, I reflected and aligned and chatted with Y. The previous night, I dreamt—no, as I tranced into the Dark Wood, as I moved along the path, I had a sense of the enchantment process. We often draw down elthil into objects for various ends, and as I moved, I had a […] … Continue reading…Anger, Paths, Breathing
[I spoke with Star Seeker about the Guardians.] Where do you come from? SS: We’ve always been here. We’re dragons. We’re the WtaW. I’ve been around since there were tempests and the mind gazing out at itself and eternity. […] We do teach, after all. Shapeshifters, and we know to change ourselves, to look into […] … Continue reading…Star Seeker and Guardians
I—last night was odd, but today was also strange. I felt—I feel that the Otherworlds are closer than ever before, that I am more immersed in them, but also to the near world, into Haisuith. I aligned in my new way, interiorizing it, and I’m still adapting. It feels like I’ve reached some new level, […] … Continue reading…TTL, Dream, Guidance
