Praxis
I also need to figure out what praxis means for me. I've been very focused on the building aspect of woo rather than the praxis, so... this is definitely something worth consideration.
Woo; Cosmology?
I swear I didn't expect my woo to have a cosmology, but... this week I've repeatedly had inclinations towards an inkling of one. We'll see if I can flesh this out a little more with time.

Woo; Long-Overdue Update (2/2)
I know that I feel a sense of awe and a deep wisdom from pine trees, looming black against a midnight blue sky. This is sacred.
I know I feel very good bringing food and herbs to harvest. The harvest is sacred.
The advisors I've brought forth in my practice... I keep anticipating that there will be four, or thinking I've found a third, but the only two who stick are Andromeda and Selena, embodying reason and empathy. Perhaps the structure is not four-pointed.
Woo; Long-Overdue Update (1/2)
So I haven't really updated here; nothing really concrete has developed since the last time I gave an update on my spirituality. I certainly know that certain imagery gives me a sensation of sacredness, and feels profound to me, but I can't quite find a way that it weaves together.
For lately it's mostly been focused on being the best me I can be, leaning on certain metaphors-of-self. A ranger. A knight. A lady knight? I know what feels right, but not why.
Quote on Reverent Agnosticism
"I'm still agnostic. But in the words of Elton Richards, I’m now a reverent agnostic. I now believe that whether or not there’s a God, there is such a thing as sacredness. Life is sacred. The Sabbath can be a sacred day. Prayer can be a sacred ritual. There is something transcendent, beyond the everyday. It’s possible that humans created this sacredness ourselves, but that doesn’t take away from its power or importance."

Ritual
I'm incredibly proud of her, and the growth she's had in the time I've known her. It hasn't always been easy, and I know it hasn't been in the direction she's expected or perhaps even desired originally, but I can see it. I hope others see it as I do.
The Work is happening. The gears turn, the acorn sprouts. The machine upgrades, the tree grows.

Ritual
My apprentice's first harvest from her garden yielded small successes, but important ones. A few carrots, some leeks. We lost the spinach and zucchini, but we harvested from the basil all fall.
The first leek pulled from the garden has gone into the creamed corn. That goes into the cornbread, and thence into the stuffing, designed to be safe for almost everyone. In this way, the Work is shared, and everyone becomes part of the cycle.
drug, woo, vague
It's not that he's vain. It's that his metaphor is a pop idol, and this is his attempt at apotheosis.
woo
Finally met the internal entity aligned with my west / courage-facing front. Hello, Cleo. Hello, old friend.
woo; compass rose
The Magician's Reflection has to say on the compass that it is a symbol of "guidance, direction, knowledge, intelligence, and right-conduct", but not much else. No mention of associations with the cardinal directions either.
woo; compass rose
My exploration of my spirituality has me pointing to / looking at compass symbology repeatedly. I know I wouldn't have the only system to ascribe meaning to cardinal directions and to the image of a compass rose; does anyone else know the meanings associated with the compass rose and the cardinal directions?
Hail, and thank you! (Woo)
There's something about harvesting your own food that just feels so... authentic. I can see why this season is all about nature's bounty and giving thanks. Tend your garden with care, and Nature will provide.
Hail, and thank you!
woo; glow
The best time to find out that the compass you've chosen as a pendant / symbol of guidance has glow in the dark markings is late at night, mid ritual, when you've gone under to do work and realize that your pendant is glowing. @_@
woo
Hoping for a little guidance

woo
Now that I'm out of school, I want to begin shaping myself into the person I'd like to be. Physically, mentally, spiritually. I've seen some amazing examples of my friends embracing inner truths and projecting them outwards; now that I'm in a context I can do that as well, I think it is important that I do too.
If I'm changing up my expression or jiggering with my thematics - that's part of what this is. I know large aspects of what I want. And it's going to be quite a path to get there.
drugs; woo
Yesterday, while very stoned, I get scared, and call for my friend Elluim. He hugs me, and at the same time, I feel the otterprene behind the mask hugging me. The following conversation ensues:
"How did you get here?"
"In your room?" he replies. "You called me, and I came."
"No," I reply, indicating my head, and then... the slightly shimmering patterns on the ceiling, the unreality. "-Here-. Up here, where I am."
He smiled knowingly. "You called me, and I came."

tarot card of the day
Ace of Wands.
Wands, fire-aligned, the suit of creativity, passion, courage, drive.
Aces, representing new beginnings, potential, a seed, and the unitary concept of the suit
I'm going to read into this that it's a good time to take initiative, I think.
Thanks, Andromeda. :]
