She Continues
So, I found myself at the liquor store because, well, it was time for more liquor. Rum is good for offerings, and I recalled the Radio Free Golgotha podcast (Yep: episode 2) mentioned how one of their spirit allies preferred Old Crow whiskey over other choices because the bottle has a picture of a crow […] … Continue reading…Exorcising Neo-Platonism 3: Old Crows & Gardens

I’ve been waking up from hypnagogic and/or dreaming states the last few days, and this morning’s was one I thought I’d share. A “vision,” I suppose, though more a teaching vision than prophetic. I saw a certain comic series (you may recognize it below) by a particular creative team, but I must admit that I […] … Continue reading…[NB: Gnostic, Hermetic, Comic Book Notions]
I ponder the leviathan and myths and the Otherworlds. When you are working on your culture and your practice— Does it promote toxic masculinity (or toxic something-else)? Does it exclude other myths, peoples, art? Is it monological & promote instrumental reason? Does it treat the earth & people & nature with respect, even reverence? Do […] … Continue reading…[NB: Further Leviathanic Notes]
[This post draws on notions I get at in terms of aesthetics, worlding, and etc. via Heidegger, Adorno, and Berque.] While engaging in some reductionist and sexist ponderings about tantra, Kenneth Grant offers the notion of tantra (& trance) as getting the object of consciousness (ego) to diffuse itself into the field of consciousness. In a sense, […] … Continue reading…[NB] Worlding Self
I was reading Marie-Louise von Franz’s Alchemical Active Imagination, & I’m only thinking how everyone wants to be who they imagine themselves to be—who they want to be? Achemy, via Dorn & the Jungians seems very much to be focused on male ejaculation: matter as feminine, embryonic, and form as male seed cast into form. Before “God” […] … Continue reading…[NB] Jungian Alchemy
For me, the point isn’t transcendence, which I see as abandoning this reality and life (or trying to). The point is to live here as yourself, as who you wish to live and act as. Either path is pretty damn difficult: the problems that Body encounters, finding yourself ignorant of or divorced from Fetch, having […] … Continue reading…Body, Fetch, Talker, God Soul, and: Part 7: And—
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
Talker as a talker uses language, uses stories, and we use stories to assemble Talker. (Really, Talker assembles Talker from stories.) Some folks like to say Fetch likes symbols, and they mean sigils, visual symbols, things like that—but Talker loves textual symbols, words, stories, and more. Of course, I’m not saying anything peculiar to esotericism. […] … Continue reading…Body, Fetch, Talker, God Soul, and: Part 5: Reweaving Talker
Many traditions divide the soul/self into a variety of parts, elements, and so on. Those familiar with the GD system know that they adapt and steal a qabalistic model: Neschamah—the highest part of the self, that which the soul aspires towards Ruach—the middle part of the self, that which relates to the mental faculties Nephesch—the […] … Continue reading…Body, Fetch, Talker, God-Self, and: Part One: Introduction & Body & Fetch
