Releasing negativity by using negativity
Yesterday I was feeling very frustrated and negative about some situations occurring in my life. I felt like I had no control, or like anything in my favor. I realized that I was in a bad enough mood that I’d probably end up feeling this way the rest of the day unless I did something, [...]
The Emptiness Working Month 3: Rage
Dec 17 We’ve just moved into the new place and I have online connection again. The last half week has been hard. We got moved out quickly and right after it snowed in Portland, which pretty much brings this city to a crashing halt. Mainly though, I’ve been dealing with rage, with anger, and this [...]
My Magical Room
I just moved into a larger place. And one of the perks of said larger place is that I have my own room now. I like having my own space, always have and so knowing I was moving into a new place, where I could have my own room, I immediately began planning for how [...]
Clock time and natural time
I’ve been thinking further about natural perceptions of time vs clock time. Jean Houston, as far as I can tell, was the first person to overtly note a substantial difference between clock time, and natural or internal time, in her book The Possible Human. However, As I’ve been musing on this subject, I’ve also noted [...]
Some thoughts on physiology, entheogens, and awareness of time.
I’ve just started reading Sex, Sleep, Eat, Drink, Dream: a day in the life of your body by Jennifer Ackerman. I’m already intrigued by what I’ve read, but in the first chapter she notes that there is a set of neurons that comprise the master clock in your brain, which basically dictates the rhythms of [...]
Space/Time Tarot/Deity experiments
I decided to do some space/time work with tarot cards after finishing A Brief hirstory of Time by Oryelle Defenstrate-Bascule. In his book he’d explain some of his own space/time tarot techniques and it reminded me of some of my experiments with space/time tarot, which I’d done a year or so back. As good as [...]
Emptiness and Time
Since I’ve started reading Oryelle’s A Brief Hirstory of Time, and also because of a conversation with a fellow practitioner, I’ve been thinking a lot about time’s role within emptiness. It strikes me that time has a very prevalent role, both in emptiness itself, and in what comes after emptiness. Within emptiness time is representative [...]
Bonding with the Land Part Two
The latest Radio show Next week’s show will feature Laura Sherman the Chess Coach. We’ll be focusing on what Chess coaching is, how it’s used to imagine reality and the discipline it brings people. Not exactly an occult topic per se, but I think it will be illuminating. Plus I like to find spirituality in [...]
Elemental Love Work Month Ten
I have two more months left to the elemental love working. It kind of amazes me that in such a short, but also long time, my yearlong working with babalon and the element of love will be receding into the background to make way for the next element to be worked with. This month has [...]
Follow-up to my post about my disillusionment with the Occult Scene
I’ve been watching with some interest just how much traffic my post about my disillusionment with the occult scene has generated. It even got linked by Chas Clifton, a pagan blogger and academic. He summarized that post as, ” Aleister Crowley’s legacy still poses problems for occultists — especially when they take Internet “life” as [...]
