College of Thelema: Thelemic Education

What are you trying to say? Do you believe witchcraft is something bad?
Are you asking how to do it?

😀 Well, a couple of paragraphs worth 😉

Love the spiral! A g.f. just got the triple spirals tatted on her wrists. Pretty! I dance with hoops (yah, hoola hoops) and when I teach workshops I always anchor in the vortex spiral nature prior to doing what we called "sustained spin", a move that is ecstatic and entrancing, much like the Sufi dervish.

I just re-watched Alan Moores video regarding magic and shamanism because that is apparently where I am headed with all this. The problem might not seem problematic to most, but it is in the word "shaman". That is different than where I want to go with this since most "neo-shamans" are not indigenous nor have the actual rearing a medicine person has. Much like a magician, it takes years of guidance, theory, and practice to reach the grade authentically.

I like this a lot though:

Thanks Edward

Some would call it semantics, but after spending time with and adopting into our potlatch and actual shaman, from Siberia, I find the word to be a catch all. My concern is that it isn't just semantics, but actual titles of a specific kind of people. I find (mis) appropriation a part of that "post" colonial type of non-sense that has created a large but flimsy base supporting power that isn't geared toward making elementary corrections. I think people are lazy thinkers. I know it's not my job to fix it. Or is it? I'm refraining from being idle and hope that some of this stuff can cross pollinate amongst the way out west, and south.

Love Mexico, a far different circumstance down there than here. Looking forward to mixing things up!
