That’s not what I meant, my comments were not coming from that angle.

I kind of follwow your blog, and in the past you have been quite harsh and pretty arrogant yourself with quite a few occult groups (the ceremonial magicians, tarot people etc.) to the point that more than once, you got under “attack” for beeing a “wannabe” an armchair occultist. Remember?
You answered back saying that you were the occult boogie jumper.
So far, all is fine with me, to each their own, I respect all perspectives.

But all the sudden, you meet one santero, probably got some headwash, bano, despojo or whatever similarly pedestrian ritual plus a reading that was probably accurate (as they should all be) and an ebo to do, and there you’re all wowed away… Nothing wrong with that either. But from the tone of all your writings, I had the impression that you were beyond that point. A kind of been there, done that type… And I am realising that you are not. That’s all…

And that’s ok too. Like you all say, it’s probably *my* problem more than anything else.
I just have to take your posts with 1000 tons of salt in the future. I really thought for some reason that you had *some* experience, had dabbled here and there and decided to go your own way, your own style, your own practice.
Instead here you are saliving after what was probably basic magic 101!! After all the telling off and criticising you have done in the past, I had imagined that you knew more of what you were talking about.

Anyways, again, nothing wrong with you. I guess I am surprised that’s all.

And if that’s what Fatima is reacting to, this idea that being part of a group makes you weak, then guess what we all are on this website? A group! Whoops!

I really do wish I understood what was cheesy about the idea that existing within a community is somehow paramount to us as social beings?

Recently, this idea that you’ve posed for conversation, DIT, came through as a more valid method for approaching a dream interpretation that was hard for me to ponder ‘on my own’. No book covered it - so the best approach was to appeal to the living knowledge sphere of the Occult community.

There’s some truth to that old adage ‘No man is an island’, and even more so, the theme you see in Gnosticism and other areas that we are cells in one big ole body of God. As above, so below, no doubt.

I still think it’s a balance between the two that we are learning during this age. The middle pillar would be a good analogy of that ‘in-between’ system.

Yeah, let us know more about this Santeria experience soon - that too sounds interesting …

One love!

I’m reposting something Rev Max wrote over at Zac’s site re: your mojo perscription bag:

“magic is sowing seeds, into the future, to see what grows

and you need roots to do that

to sow the seeds, you need roots

to be tapped into the older thing

if you don’t have the roots, you don’t have the lever arm to sow with, to cast the seeds

thus, rootwork is not only about plant roots but also human roots

it is by grabbing onto the earth with both the plant roots and the ancestral ones that you can reach into the future and pull the toward yourself the one that you want, i think

because the dead travel fast and they do care, we just need to be like Nokis Kazantskinas (sp?) in saviours of god

pour a bucket of blood and see who comes forth to speak

work with the strong shades and dismiss the forlorn ones

because they are just as eager to preseve this particular planetary game preserve as we are

Other wise, no roots, no leverage, no ability to sow, cut off, controlled, hypnotized by the idiot box”
