She Continues
I wrote this post a little while back, but I held off on sharing it because the experiences pointed me to a particular experiment to perform, and I wanted to do that operation first before sharing the post. Then, “Black Seas of Infinity” came to me as I was reading through The Brazen Vessel, and […] … Continue reading…Force Majeure
I’m going to talk today about divine twins, the Gospel of Thomas, higher and lower dimensions, textual interpretation, and the imaginal. (Wait! Come back!) As I do so, I’m more thinking aloud than offering any concrete theology or cosmology. I’m still early into thinking with these ideas even as they build on plenty of stuff […] … Continue reading…Twin Inter-Play

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]

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]
NB: From my journals, so please read the tone as more on-the-fly ponderings than anything else, but I’ve done some editing here for clarity. Heathen Chinese posted a fantastic article on TWH that links (conceptually) with my thoughts on glamours & egregores, thought-gods—of “leviathans” (via Hobbes[1] & elsewhere) as aggregate entities, social “golems” assembled in […] … Continue reading…[NB] Leviathan Glamours
