More thinking has been going on and some decisions made!
Looking back over my occult workings so far in all honesty they have been the dabblings of an amateur. There’s been no consistency, no particular path involved and no direct goal to aim for.
So from now on everything is going to be written down. I’ve bought 3 note pads and ordered a diary in which you record a day per page (nice and cheap seeing as we’re 7 weeks into the new year ).
The notepads are for:
The Book of Tarot - where (surprise!) I shall record all tarot readings going forward. I have done this before but looking back at the pad I wrote in it’s just a mess and again done half heartedly.
The Book of Dreams - I shall try and faithfully record my dreams albeit given the actual totally lack of sense they make this could be hard. At least I know when I dream, just before I get up to go to the loo in the night (I’m at that age… ) and just before I wake up in the morning. I’ll try and find my voice dictation recorder and use that for the night one otherwise I’ll never get back to sleep if I turn the light on and write. I’ll also keep track of the moon to see if this has influence on them as well.
The Book of Quareia - I need to follow most of the apprentice course as it does seem rather sensible and meant for grown ups … and I need to grow up.
The diary is for just recording what I do each day without going into detail i.e. just a load on one liners and the other books will have more details.
I’m thinking of getting another 4 pads -
The Book of Seer - alll things to do with divination (apart from the Tarot obvs )
The Book of the Stars - I’m not really that keen on astrology but will need to have a crack at it at some point, if only for the Quareia course if I get that far.
The Book of the Spirits - all invocations and evocations therein. I do have a book of shadows, but again a random mess.
The Book of Magic - for everything else, spellwork, the Temple of Ascending flames stuff etc
Just to reinforce all this so it’s not just a flash in the pan, I 've bought some hypnosis files -
