She Continues
I feel how after a few days of decent sleep and not having to perform the usual professional and social personae I feel much more myself, and I can practically feel myself unfurling. I can feel body & spirit opening, allowing me to breathe, to flow, to align, to live, to shape body & self, […] … Continue reading…Unfurling, Weather Patterns, Twilight Bodies
Energy work remains one of those things that I know I need to do, that I try to do, but that I feel I should do more of. That said, I also wonder about the tech behind energy work. I concur with folks like Jan Fries who observe that chakras and similar approaches to energy […] … Continue reading…Energy Work, Spirit Interaction, Self
I see how I’m treading over much of the same ground, that I am “inventing wheels.” But…I think I need to do that. Much of my work has involved psychic therapy… Much of it has been exploratory, a process of acclimatization, and practical…I can’t help but see the patriarchal threads throughout many of [these other systems], or the racist threads elsewhere, or the ideologically-driven threads still elsewhere. And in those senses, my resistance to those other systems has been political as I choose how I wish to make and shape myself while working to open myself to other beings (humans and otherwise), to the Otherworlds, to the world, to everything while remaining in authentic contact with the deeper parts of myself. … Continue reading…Making Maps, Seeing the Sights

I suspect that transcendentalist thought has done much to obscure God Soul, Sacred Dove, “higher self,” what I call Elaith, and so forth—and I suspect that the reality is that the path to apprehending God Soul has as many steps or layers as you need/want/expect. I think we also tend to render God Soul as […] … Continue reading…Body, Fetch, Talker, God Soul, and: Part 6: God Soul and Other Names
The skies are where I want to rise to, to climb Elethis into the skies. But the land also calls to me,—I want to explore them both, touch and hug the tress, soar through the clouds, walk the land to the sea—and I would even touch the waters, drink and swim. Hmm. I still feel […] … Continue reading…Align, Materialize, Sex, Shape
I dreamt of Doctor Who and computers last night. I think I had glimpsed last night’s revelations on noticing how free and magical I felt in admitting to myself—, in calling down the blue rainbow light, the faentaur, in letting myself change and immerse myself in it and the Otherworlds and ôl-vala, in wanting and […] … Continue reading…Practice, Goddess Being, Art & Magic
Bruno talks of the “subject” or “locus”—the domain of the Memory Palace, where you assemble it in the mind or Otherworlds. This locus becomes one’s astral temple—but I think the variable valences of “memory” that Bruno points towards are very pertinent. (I would feel very lost without my recent grounding in GD, c.m., CM, aesthetic […] … Continue reading…Bruno, Light, Passion
That projection of vividly imagined—things, sights, sounds, sensations, is something everyone suggests as starting point or as kick-starter to magic. Thorn does so. So do others. I’ve found myself wondering about my disbelief and others’, and what I think happens—with worry about whether or not I’m being paid on the first, this revisits old anxieties […] … Continue reading…Counter ôl-vala, Rites, Chakra Notes, Bridging
Getting 8 hours of sleep for a couple of nights in a row shows me I’m dreaming most of the night and can remember a lot. My dream about competing for my body with another—tells me integration is still something to work on, tells me I worry over how I perform myself— Bridging and sustaining […] … Continue reading…Sleep, Bridging, Practice
