Where to begin practice?
-
After many years neglecting my studies, I have returned.
Recently I have re-read The Book of The Law and am re-reading Magick in Theory in Practice, paying especial attention to the appendices which I didn't grant enough attention to before.
As well as reading, I intend to restart my Magickal Record.
I am working alone.Where would you recommend I begin?
I have found some useful sounding exercise in:
Liber O vel Manus et Sagittae
Liber E vel Exercitiorum
Liber RV vel SpiritusBut am not sure which of these are appropriate.
Any ideas?
Eternal thanks. -

Eternal thanks.Interesting thoughts about the Resh, especially considering today's date:
Where I live sunrise is currently around 04:30, sunset 21:45.
Boleskine would be more like 04:15 and 22:20.
Then you have the midnight one.At midwinter, these times would be around 08:25 & 15:40, and 09:00 & 15:30 for Boleskine.
I'm guessing in California, for example, there would be much less variation due to the lattitude.

One of the results of practicing Resh, if you are scrupulous about observing the actual times of sunrise and sunset as these times change throughout the year and according to your location, is to keep you mindful of your place in the drama between the sun and the earth. In the same way that a ritual like the LBRP centers you in space, Resh centers you in time and space. (I haven't expressed that well, but I don't think I'm going to do any better. I hope people get it.)

"
"Where would you recommend I begin?"I'd recommend hours of meditation each day, paying attention to your own mind and how it all is meant to flow/work. I was surprised that ceremony was so recommended, in other people's replies?"
/agreed. IMHO, there should be balance between meditation, ceremony, and study.
