Even a day can be a real wowser, first time. I collected four or six breaks the first HOUR I practiced guarding speech by Jugorum (I'd have to dig out the journal from that period to say for sure - it was disheartening). Just something that struck me reading the posts. paul 201434369420143436942014343694201434369420143436942014343694718 From: Grey Area: Thelema To: Fir 14 Apr 95 22:14:20 Subject: Re: 8TH AETHYR SEMANTICS UpdReq Stacte is Latin for myrrh OIL, not myrrh in general. It's used in the recipe for Abramelin Oil, but not for Abramelin Incense. The old man made a clear distinction in the Book. Grey 201434369420143436942014343694201434369420143436942014343694718
