Interesting little piece of magic here, I think. #chaosky #chaosMagick #WitchSky #occult #Occultsky
This just arrive. My first thoughts are that it's a really beautifully designed and put together book. It's a little small, but it is a niche subject. A quick skim has shown a couple of areas that I would question. #chaosky #chaosMagick #WitchSky #occult #Occultsky #pagansky
Your point about working within the semantics we have reminds me of Hood Mysticism Scale, which seems to me to be an attempt to create a language with which to approach often indefinable experiences. In some ways this seems like a contradiction, but I think there's value in it.
Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden or Alice in Chains.
Currently running through boxes of books in my parents loft & coming across old occult books I stashed up there years ago. Has anyone here actually played Enochian Chess? #chaosky #chaosMagick #WitchSky #occult #Occultsky #pagansky
This is the letter column for issue 16 of Grant Morrison's The Invisibles (1996). It's the issue in which Morrison asked his readers to charge a sigil, introducing many of them to the Austin Osman Spare/chaos magic version of sigils. #chaosky #chaosMagick #occult #Occultsky
This is one of my favorite magical implements at the moment. My rituals have often been based around a sense of place, but I have issues with fatigue. I can't visit my spots as much, so I've been recording them, looping the sound files and using it as ambient backgrounds for meditation and ritual.

That's my current project. Once I've built it, I've got to learn to play it - which I suspect isn't going to be easy.
That's odd. I've come across Rosaleen Norton before but was only vaguely aware of Nevill Drury till last week, when I picked this up in a second-hand bookshop in my fairly small home town. It's not normally a place I associate with esoteric books, but the AOS cover caught my eye.
This just arrived - 'Cunning Man' William Dawson Bellhouse's grimoire. I've been reading up on cunning folk. They're often described as folk magicians - & there is folk magic in their books, but I've been surprised by the amount of ritual magic as well. #occultsky #Chaosky #FolkMagic #occult
The Uffington White Horse, looking down across the Devil's Punch-bowl to Dragon Hill. Because of it's placement, you can't get a decent shot of the horse itself - you can only get a good view of it from above. Possibly linked to the Celtic Epona, or Rhiannon. Silt deposits date it to 1380 - 550 BC.
With thanks to tumblr, where this originated. It indeed Christmas. Merr Christmas to one and all.
I've been reading about attempts to quantify mystical experiences such as the Hood Mysticism Scale. It's interesting in that it's a modern attempt to create a language with which to approach often indefinable experiences. e.g. this examination of introvertive and extrovertive mysticism #occultSky
