Uhmmm...Ahhh... Hmmm.. must be all I've got to say on THAT subject for now. Sorry...! Except that I really am having an increasingly difficult time working with established "formulas" of magick. There IS only one law, right? All these other rules and formulae just seem to stiltify and regiment. Life seems much more fluid than that-- full of tangenital phrases and all sorts of things and presences and experiences that just don't FIT the map. Tricks of the soul that make it all so engaging and real. Sometimes I think we spend so much time looking for pristine patterns that we miss all the rich texture. But it may just be that I've been living in the swamp for a long time where everything grows and everything gets sucked up and where you're likely to bump into more invisible beings when you walk down the street than visible ones. And the visible ones are all drunk anyway. Speaking of which, I have a really hard time figuring out who's an actual human at the bar so I can wait on them. Those green and puce guys working through people's neuroses and obssessions again-- very pronounced in the wicked bar room! But I digress... We're killing the world-Soul, or at least our relationship with her. Most of what I read on Enochian Magick seems terribly lacking in soul-- very dry, scientific, literal. Where's the PASSION?? So have I rambled on sufficiently? What, exactly, did you want me to go on about?
