Almost Arrived

After a disturbing journey through the Realm of Storms, I have settled near the edge of its destructive and confusing beauty. Also nearby is a Realm of glittering lights (which I will describe here soon I hope). Needless to say the shadow created inthis borderland are as compelling as the rays of brilliance. The potential is nothing short of overhwleming which in combincation with the mundane affair s of many current and upcoming events on the mortal material timeline have been tossing me about like a tiny rag doll such is their force. Well tis mainly the former rather than the latter that has such strength but after it's gotten in a few blows I'm so dizzy thart just about anything has a shot a knocking me to and or fro.

The days that follow bring a uniication of energies as my new home takes shape. In this new place I espect to be able to wield greater magics, have grander adventures and delve further into the depths of life.

Wish me luck as I pass it to all of you my sweets.

Perspectives

Cease practice based on intellectual understanding,
Pursuing words and following after speech,
And learn the backward step
That turns your light inward
To illuminate yourself.
Body and mind of themselves
Will drop away and your original face
Will be manifest.
- Dogen (1200-1253)

The exodus and an experiment

From within a laybrinthine and teetering sturcture of cardboard boxes filled to the brim with the material aura of "life" in this world, I take a moment away from preparing for the great move to my new Scarlet Home to share a fun game to play.

Stare into the mirror, deep into your eyes and over all of yourself and stare so deeply that your reflection begins to waver. Then gaze upon countless other alternate and potential yous and marvel at your differences and similairities and the insight granted from touching another you, be they a few realities away or leagues beyond this one.

Moves both physical and of the meta variety

So the process of moving provides all sorts of challenges to mundanes. The financial acrobatics and societal inspired stress on what should be a joyous adventure are enough to cause many people to wrap themselves in a cocoon of stress and become lost in an inner fantasy where the discombobulation of the powers that be happens on monthly intervals as a mild amusement. Yes that may have just been a thought whose purpose was solely to use the word/concept of discombobulation but my point is no less valid because of my playful smirk.

For those with an awakened mind or a vested interest in planes and energies beyond the "physical" realm have a host of other issues to deal with. A home can exist in connection with any number of other realms some not necessarily condusinve to your living in close proximity to (depending on the individual). A variety of potentially negative psychic residues can coat the spaces within and without and certainly aren't listed on any building inspection report. Potent spirit haunting to my knoledge are rare but that doesn't mean that ther aren't necessarily entities tied to the place and that their presecen won't have an effec ton your life.

Can you cast there effectivley? Is the space condusive to your style of magic? or are their restrictive quaities in the area. Sometimes these are harder to spot as they aren't even attach to any particular focal point. How do you deal with issues that your senses aren't enlightened enough to perceive consciously.

Of course a new space is also filled with new potential and with proper care can be developed into a powerful tool in your magic and in your life.


As you may have guessed fair reader this is exactly the process I am goin through currently. Though I am far from a creature of stress, I must admit that even I have been affected by the minions of the reality thoughtcage but not for long.

In a rather sudden motion I find my life flowing arouund another new nexus which shows exciting promise as well as being considerably more open and free (in so many sense of the concept)

From within a sea of cardboard boxes I set my eyes to the horizon which holds both a fortress of solitude for this Supergirl and a open space to communicate , socialize and create with friends form the many relams for your friendly neighbourhood Sorceress.


Wish me luck spellkins!
