I am here for Networking

About Me

~~~ On May 1st, 2001 I took a vow to mark each year of my life as a service to the Cosmic Feminine. My path is marked by this my sixth year of objective psychic development; a year to focus on my abilities and hone my skills through objective reasoning and LOTS of writing and research. A year of study and progression. My focus this year is to document our tradition and create our training materials. These materials will open OAO to community projects and help to establish an ever growing network of local, like minded, support. Binah rules my life as the creative mother lives within me and all around me. My body is her body; holding up the stars and pushing out the flowers~AS ABOVE SO BELOW~EVERY MAN AND EVERY WOMAN IS A STAR. As I transit each year of my life I open my body as a conduit of the Goddess and act as a healer, councilor and guide to all those willing to suffer to learn. Love is the Law!

My Interests

My main interest is in the History of the World and the exploration of literature that links esoteric tradition and mankind’s naturalistic progression. I love to cook in my spare time and am quite passionate about coffee and tea rituals from around the world. I thoroughly enjoy herbology and find that simple cottage crafts are a joy to master. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I work nights so A majority of my time is spent in isolation from society and I chose to construct as naturalistic a balance as possible. The Earth my mother is constantly teaching me her ways and I enjoy all aspects of spiritualism and spell craft along the path. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'd like to meet:

~ ~~~~ The one man who holds my adoration in all stages of being is Aleister Crowley. This prophet of Sun was an absolute conduit of truth and reality; he always reminds me to learn things the hard way and set higher goals for myself...TO DO THE WORK. His writing saturates the mind in the oceans of transcendental instruction. 93I am open to networking with all disciplined and objective persons who see religion as a fusion of Humanity's creative manifestory potential and the absolute study of the divine synchronicity of existence.

Music:

~~~~~~I LOVE music that evokes mood.~~~~~69~~~~~)(~~~~~~~~~~~~ The BEST: Switchblade symphony~~~Mediaeval Babes~~~The Smashing Pumpkins~~~The Dresden Dolls~~~Butterfly Messiah~~~Inkubus Sukkubus~~~Rasputina ~~~Apoptygma Berzerk~~~VNV Nation~~~Deep Forest~~~Jai Uttal~~~Billie Holiday ~~~Ella Fitzgerald~~~Lamb~~~Vas~~~Vox~~~Stevi Nicks~~~~~~

Movies:

I’m a big Monty Python fan. Knights of Holy Grail is almost too funny! Almost... I also love spook and art films so David Lynch is a great source for all things creepy. Fifth generation Chinese Films are great too, Farewell my Concubine, Raise the Red Lantern etc. I love any piece of film that can draw up color or visceral emotion based on a single idea; the combination of elements in film create a realm of their own, a parallel reality where moments are allowed extension for the sake of aesthetics.

Television:

~ ~Television is a device used by the controlling powers of this planet to manipulate and distort humanity’s perception of reality.~ ~Prolonged exposure to the layered image patters and sound/time variations has been scientifically proven to distort social perceptions of the physical world.~ ~ This system was arbitrated to maintain the status quo and the economic stability of the global wealth networks.~ ~IT ROTS YOUR BRAIN SON!!!!~ ~

Books:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~*~The Book of the Law/Liber Al Vel Legis by Aleister Crowley, Rose Edith Crowley. "A great place to START!!!!!"~~~~~~~~~~ ~*~The Secret Teachings of All Ages (Reader's Edition) by Manly Palmer Hall. "One of the most digestible forms of western esoteric history available. Hall has a rhythmic style that often leaves an astral thread between meditation and reading. His insight and detail offer a great foundation in the Western Magickal Arts."~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~Diary of a Drug Fiend by Aleister Crowley "One of the greatest conduits this system has ever known; greatly loved and missed... this..a single thread of his great work, aptly conveys the reality of this world and the deconstruction of the self through endurance."~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs (Llewellyn's sourcebook Series) by Scott Cunningham "The best cottage craft companion available! Cunningham provides all the information needed for proper spell crafting and offers great information on folk use and traditional hearth and hedge witch methods of herb-craft. A MUST HAVE FOR ANY HERB~LOVER"~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~*~A Witches' Bible: The Complete Witches Handbook by Janet Farrar, Stewart Farrar "THE neo-pagan GUIDE-book! The Farrar's have masterfully created a structure for the Neo-spiritual movement. Though never the original intent behind the text, it often serves as the first BOS for many groups in the USA. The book offers an essential package for followers of Wicca, acting as a great foundation for historical reference and ritual construction within the tradition."~~~~~~~~~~~~~..This profile was edited with Thomas' myspace editor™ V2.5

Heroes:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The emulation of those separate is folly to me. Indeed it is better to love and feel passion for these people we honor than to idealize them in terms of self-projection. What we each are bound to in this life can not be determined simply by what we like or adore or even strive for. So often the heart becomes lost to the layers of the world and true direction is not bestowed by some submissive emulation of greatness. It is in fact cultivated by the slow direct progression of the self......for the self...... by the self. Let none but the wind bring thee to sway.~~~~~
