Still in love with this piece from over a year ago now, but the time has come to take it down from the altar and place it with the other Enochian instruments I’ve been crafting, one by one. Look forward to a Thelemic piece coming soon. There’s a bare spot above the altar now and I’m going to fill it with something.

There is great magic within me. I’m not trying to stop it anymore.
How to draw a Cretan Labyrinth
The Labyrinth is a symbol used by both Christians and Pagans alike as a means to meditate. The unfortunate thing is that since the purpose of them is to literally get lost, that makes them hard to draw. (Even for someone who is artistically inclined like me.) So here’s a little tutorial on how to set up a grid and make a labyrinth, complete with crude drawings by yours truly!
1. Set up the grid. You can use graph paper if you’re so inclined. Make a + and then right angles inset into that cross and a dot marking the next part of the grid.
2. Connect the topmost part of the inner + to the topmost part of the inset angle.
3. Next, connect the top of the left angle to the rightmost dot.
4. And then the leftmost dot to the bottom end of the rightmost angle.
5-8. Continue moving down the left side, connecting to the right side until you’ve reached the bottom. You want to keep your ‘hallways’ even in width, which is the tricky part and mostly that comes with practice.
9. Make one final connection to the bottom of the angle and the bottom of the cross by going the looooong way around. This will leave an opening and you have a labyrinth!
reblogging again because this is cool and also to say even with the instructions this took me three tries..
Believe me: it took me like five before I got it and I had the reference material right in front of me.
I don’t think its supposed to be easy. xD
I have helped build a labyrinth out of candles for samhain 3 times and every time we mess up at least three times… and the guy leading the project does it every year…
THAT MUST LOOK SO COOL AT THE END!
I went through a phase of drawing labyrinths on EVERYTHING including the wall of the shed during my zine residency at Roberts Street Social Center in Halifax. I should do that more. It was fun. Once you get this structure down it is easy.

~Traditional Witchcraft, Gemma Gary The Red Serpent of the East Road The White Hare of the South Road The Grey Toad of the West Road The Black Crow of the North Road
One: recognize that everything is synchronicity. Two: act upon it with integrity. Those two ideas are all you need to do, to create the life you desire. That is it. Period. That is all there is to physical reality: everything is synchronicity; act like it. That is all that is needed to be in complete harmonic resonance with your conscious understanding of All That Is, as it expresses itself as physical reality. Synchronicity is your conscious recognition that all of the events, all of the objects, all of the relationships, all points of view, all perceptions, all interactions – these are all one thing. Every single thing you experience, and every differentiation you create in your reality – all are the same one thing from a different point of view. The same one thing, manifesting itself simultaneously as the illusion of many things. Everything is one thing – ONE. Integrity: integrated, blended, one, wholeness - the recognition that if you are aware that everything is one thing, and you are a part of it, then you recognize that you have everything you need to be anything you want, without having to force yourselves upon anyone else to do it.

Life Lessons of a Witch #11
Learning to control your emotions means not only being able to keep calm in adverse situation, but also being able to become frenzied in an instant. The best magic is worked from intense emotion, combined with focused intent and an iron will.
The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.

If you have been in the vicinity of the sacred - ever brushed against the holy - you retain it more in your bones than in your head; and if you haven’t, no description of the experience will ever be satisfactory.
Daniel Taylor - In Search of Sacred Places: Looking for Wisdom on Celtic Holy Islands
Of all the cats devoted to Dionysus, [the panther] was not only the most graceful and fascinating but also the most savage and bloodthirsty. The lightning-fast agility and perfect elegance of its movements, whose purpose is murder, exhibit the same union of beauty and fatal danger found in the mad women who accompany Dionysus. Their savagery, too, fascinates those who watch them, and yet it is the eruption of the dreadful impulse to pounce on the prey, tear it to pieces and devour its flesh raw.
Walter F. Otto, ‘Dionysus: Myth and Cult’ (via caballerodelatristefigura)
Continuing my series on British fairy magic and history, using the events and ideas of Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell as mirrors to jump through.
This time, visionary operations and magical substances for granting sight of spirits.
In which is presented a survey of experiments and operations to produce a magical substance which allows one to perceive spirits, drawn from early modern grimoires, 'books of secrets' and magicians' working-books.
An integral part of the sorcerous journey which the Second Magician, Strange, undertakes concerns learning how to actually perceive the spirits he wishes to conjure; more specifically, learning magic to create substances that afford him such perception. Such an endeavour is not merely a fictional one. For interested (not to mention interesting) parties, I present this brief collection of various operations for creating magical materials to reveal the presence of spirits – often a salve to smear over or in one’s eyes rather than an elixir. They are taken from formal grimoires (manuals of ritual magic), popular collections of occult ‘experiments’ known as ‘books of secrets’, and the personal notebooks of local wizards, cunning-folk, and astrologer-physicians.
To begin our examination of such visionary substances, we find these texts detail several ‘experiments’ to see into the spirit-world: to witness ‘marvels’, ‘strange sights’, ‘prodigies’, ‘chimeras’, as well as spirits in more humane or at least singular form.
Dr. Cummins’ has directly supplied some of the experiments to ‘see fairies’ found in books of magic from the early modern era. I cannot stress how helpful, or wonderful, and insightful, this is enough.
