My genius - by definition
As I worked through my ceremonial magick training, I was exhorted to develop my ‘knowledge and conversation with my Holy Guardian Angel’. Depending on what I was reading and who I spoke to, my personal HGA was either an external lifeform that would deign to work with me if I approached it sincerely, or an internal mechanism, a part of my Super Ego, a part of my ‘magickal...
Unnecessary focus obscures the big picture
Not that I believe anyone has a real sense of perspective — who among us claims to see the entirety of the big picture?
However, I really do find it can be damaging to focus on a single process, or shard of an idea to the exclusion of the context*.

Otherkin and reincarnation - it's all in the scope

Are we talking about reincarnation, but outside of the human wheel of Samsara?
Lots of people around the world believe in non-human reincarnation; there are even fairly robust guides on which...
Wabi-sabi →
Wabi-sabi (侘寂?) represents a comprehensive Japanese world view or aesthetic centered on the acceptance of transience. The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of beauty that is “imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete”.[1] It is a concept derived from the Buddhist teaching of the three marks of existence (三法印 sanbōin?), specifically impermanence (無常 mujō?), the other two being...
