Woo; Deconstruction; Breaking the Upaya
The purpose of this is to lay down sort of a foundational description, in the sense of 'This is what I am seeking to get out of this practice.' Frequently this is a set of tools for self-reflection, the ability to suspend skepticism to engage in a subjective experience, the communal making of meaning.
The Work begins by figuring out where baseline reality IS, because in order to bend the rules, you need to know they're THERE.
Woo; Deconstruction; Breaking the Upaya
So I've written an introductory post to my blog, describing thoughts after one month in Seattle's woo-oriented crowd.
Content warning; in this, I do the initial steps of establishing a conception of baseline reality based in philosophical materialism, atheism, skepticism, and empiricism. I deny things you may believe in.
I am wind, second most dangerous element. I deconstruct everything.

@KawaSeadrake Hail, traveler! I hope the thoughts in this account are of some use to you, or if not, then are at least interesting material in their own right. ^_^
@thefishcrow Awooooo!
Introduction; About this Account
This account is a space to talk about 'woo' (ritual; magical thinking; the practice of 'magic' for certain definitions of magic) without feeling like I'm necessarily forcing it onto everyone in my timeline.
As a person who's most comfortable when compartmentalizing various components of her life, this felt appropriate for a separate account, and I feel freer to talk about these topics.
