The Year of Blake

Starting the week of Jan 1, I'll try to post once a week about William Blake, the great Gnostic Poet and unoffical Saint. Not sure where this will go, but it sounds like fun to me.

Fire Wand & Golden Dawn

I have completed the construction of my fire wand, finally. I'll be consecrating it this weekend/next week, either on Sunday or Tuesday. Haven't decided which day is more auspicious, yet. I'm about to start taking Golden Dawn degrees (about = sometime this year I get my 0=0). I've gotten on a GD forum, and they're perplexed that I've started with my weapons already. I'm simply working on them as the HGA directs. Edit: Had it explained to me by a member of the forum. These are supposed to be adept's (5=6) tools, so making them early is jumping the gun a bit. I'll simply have to make others/reconsecrate them when that time comes. The Abremelin working is going well. I agree with Steven Guth that the working should take longer than not.

In any event... 1) Look at the list and bold those you have read. 2) Italicize those you started but did not finish. 3) Underline the books you LOVE. 4) Reprint this list in your own blog so we can try and track down these people who’ve read 6 or less and force books upon them. The Time Traveller's Wife - Audrey Niffenegger The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams The Handmaid's Tale - Margaret Atwood Lord of the Flies - William Golding Life of Pi - Yann Martel The Secret Garden - Frances Hodgson Burnett Finished: 4/21/2022 The ...

Lack of Posting

I'm sorry there's been a lack of posting. I've been writing other things, and just haven't had time for profundity or time to write about it. So, I'm gonna ask a question. You can either answer here, or on your own blog if you want. Please list in the comments if you answer it on your blog, so I can either subscribe or just read it. The Question: When you experience gnosis , how do you experience it? And a follow up: Are there actions or thoughts that will trigger this experience for you? And third: Can you trigger it deliberately?
