Magic
It has been 23 weeks since my last post.
In this time I have managed to solve a severe mold problem that occurred in my bedroom and have managed to finally get over a cold that has lasted since winter (due to the mold issue).
I have begun studying natural perfumery, which is the first art form that I am actually passionate about. I have made several perfumes and perfume oils which relate to various deities including: Pan, Lucifer, Oya, Ochun, The Morrighan, and more... One that came out particularly interesting was an experiment with Cocoa Essential Oil that had many foresty notes including Fir Needle that transformed it into a chocolate liquor scent, which was fantastic!
My work with Heartsdesire has taken a fascinating turn. We have just begun work with the Elements, Guardians and their relationship to cosmology as well as the Iron Pentacle. So much of the material that was taughtove this past weekend has been really well thought out synthesized/syncretized and is original to Vanthi and Heartsdesire's personal gnosis, all with really thoughtful theological twists that were unexpected. The ritual introduction to the guardians was the first time in which I felt that the guardians could be approached for direct learning, and they actually talked to me!
I have also started work with Lucifer, a deity that I have long wanted to work with.
