Did nada except for some reading, as I kept nearly passing out in my wheelchair in the morning.
My phone keeps acting up, so I think Iām going to get a new phone with a different carrier, new number possibly as well. Iām well beyond sick and tired of a phone constantly acting up on me.
A couple of books I was required to read as a Neophyte were āThe Mystical Qabalahā, āThe Tree of Lifeā, and āThe Sacred Magic of Ancient Egyptā. The latter had a sister book, āThe Sacred Tradition of Ancient Egyptā. I cannot help but wonder if the two books on Egypt expound on Magicians in Ancient Egypt and how they get and keep and utilize their power.
Needless to say, no Friday work was done. I think tomorrow I will strive for more self control and self discipline with my magick works.
DAY: Saturday, day of Saturn. Rules over Earth, Capricorn and Aquarius, exalted in Libra. Black candles, Sandalwood and Myrrh incense.
TIME: 11:20 AM PST
MOON PHASE:
WEATHER: Low 70s, sunny.
RITUALS PERFORMED: I might be able to do PotD rituals earlier, but after 3 or so is optimal timing that I know of.
PERFORMANCE:
RESULTS:
Watching Daddyās Home movie of some sort, makes me honestly feel inferior. I donāt pack a gun above a 22 palm size gun shall we say, and Iām no tough guy. Iām handsome but no heart-throb. But I feel Will Ferrellās character. I dated single moms and felt worse. I felt decades of anger.
Now in my upper 50s, I embrace my being alone. All the more space and time to work on what I couldnāt before, my best attempts at magic and being a magician.
TASKS:
Not on therapy calendar that I know of. Was up and in my wheelchair earlier. Just had my shower and applied deodorant as well. I brushed my hair, will brush my teeth after lunch. Will exercise even if no therapy.
Soooā¦old neighbor nearly kicked the bucket, is incoherent, fell, has or had tdk or a petit mal seizure.
Needless to say, he has been battling like I battle, becoming institutionalized. Itās not the time spent that causes it, itās the life trauma endured and the care received in a new place. The mindset of being institutionalized is a 180 here than a corrections facility I would imagine.
So⦠rituals wonāt be done today. Perhaps tomorrow.
This is why silence is the fourth law for students.
They snuck outā¦.so so did what I could. I will do the Middle Pillar Ritual and meditate once the folks have left.

LRVH Noon Adoration.Adoration to the Lord of the Universe. LRVH Evening Adoration. Adoration to the Lord of the Universe.
PERFORMANCE: Good, though voice was low, and it was hurried through. Done in time.
RESULTS: Should have a sacred space and a clean sphere of sensation. Will do Middle Pillar Ritual and meditation before sleep.
So I went and found coffee, and a very sweet lady carried my coffee for me. She ran out to her car to grab a NT with and Psalms and Proverbs for me to read.
Over the course of last night and today, I have been given a Bible and a New Testament book. A sign from above?
My sister came by today to give me clean clothing, brought a Diet Pepsi, and Krispy Kreme donuts. She gave me three - two raspberry filled and glazed donuts and one glazed donut.
Shortly after finishing breakfast, coffee still in hand, therapist arrived telling me that I was on the list for today. So we agreed on some time between 10:15 and 10:30 as it was about 9:40 at the time. So I show up around 10:00 in the gym and 15 minutes after I arrived I hopped on the new step bike and with a difficulty level of three, I did approximately 1,450 steps. That was about 60 steps per minute. After 15 minutes on that bike I went to walk in the Walker and walked all the way to the activities room, and actually I rested at nurse station to but eventually got the will up to keep walking and reach nurse station 3. About 15 ft shy of the activities room. Turned around and walked back and walked pretty much all the way back except for the main hallway that leads outside and got pushed back to the gym from there. We then worked on strength in the arms,
curls, lat pulls, flys. This was with wrist straps of two and a half pounds on each wrist and the 3 lb dumbbell in each hand. It definitely kept my wrists straight not giving an opportunity to bend but I found that my shoulders were trying to do most of the work as opposed to the biceps. All in all good workout. Got back to the room and my roommates brother and sister were here or I should say his son and daughter were here. Kirsten gave me an excellent piece of cinnamon bread from trader Joeās, I recommend stocking up on it heavily. On top of that I had a cup of lemonade and Iām waiting for beverages to arrive with lunch.
