She Continues
I was fulfilling what seemed an entirely reasonable request from one of my spirits for additions to their altar, and my hand brushed up against the wings on their statue’s back. And I brushed against feathers and wing—actual feathers and wing—and I pulled back and kind of giggled and spun around a bit dizzy. I […] … Continue reading…Clairsentience & The “Real”
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
I’m up at [café] on a Friday, finding myself otherwise free. I’m glad to say I framed the Morrigan blessing I received from Morpheus for supporting The Book of the Great Queen. I’ve placed it behind _______. On its own, it fills in on the altar nicely—the cherry wood frame working well, and I suppose […] … Continue reading…Icons, Presence, Old Geometries
It’s Samhain, and I feel a little antsy. I want to have more of a notion what I want to do tonight. Communion with the Otherworlds, for one, but I also want to re-dedicate, if not dedicate myself, to the Path, to bridging, to the relationship I have with the Morrigan and Angus, and to […] … Continue reading…Tall Bright Shapes
I had drams about cleaning away crap and blockages, things relating to my parents, and I suppose I should work on this—my childhood and feelings about [my parents] are likely huge parts of whatever hang-ups I do have,—the emotional and spiritual blockage that bars me from what I want to do, how I want to […] … Continue reading…Blockages, Reclaiming, Bruno’s Reason
I found myself fretting and feeling that gnawing fear-obligation in regards to [work], and I fought that off, as well as I could. It’s a consuming fear mingled with guilt and obligation and more. And I wonder, Why do I feel guilt and fear—and the fear of shame. I’ve been thinking about what CC calls […] … Continue reading…Attention, Bruno, Freya
Last night felt awkward & difficult trying to project into the rath, and after a point, I reasserted my Presence and worked to embrace M with Morrigan’s help. I soared into the clouds, and She came as the Raven or Raven Headdressed, pecking into my side even as we embraced. At the edges of the […] … Continue reading…Shamanic Thingers, Castaneda
Elaith—it doesn’t seem quite right—the “tower”—elaith-tir maybe? Hurur, Lies, these include the shells of identity that cling to us and which trick us into seeing them as true expressions or egos of self. Self-identification, especially reified, commodified selfhood. They come from without, imposed upon you and accepted—or they’re shells we fashion and adopt defensively or […] … Continue reading…Hurur, Charting a Path, and Considering Silent Goddesses
Sleight of mind is also very important for seeing and working with Chaos—this is why theatricality is important. Parting the Veil, but sometimes it’s not that easy, and I feel like there’s a way to trip over across a threshold into it—or elsewhere. Part of it is familiarity, knowing and recognizing and reproducing the states […] … Continue reading…Perception & Otherworlds
I have let myself fall away from my practice. I probably needed a few days of extra sleep, and I probably need to vary my practice—but I went through a period of relative calm that fell away, and I’ve needed to relax and focus energy. I have been expending energy on fear & obsessive thoughts—not […] … Continue reading…Water, Selfhood, & Chaos
