We have to stop CONSUMING our culture. We have to CREATE culture. DON’T watch TV, DON’T read magazines, don’t even listen to NPR. Create your OWN roadshow. The nexus of space and time where you are — NOW — is the most immediate sector of your universe. And if you’re worrying about Michael Jackson or Bill Clinton or somebody else, then you are disempowered. You’re giving it all away to ICONS. Icons which are maintained by an electronic media so that, you want to dress like X or have lips like Y… This is shit-brained, this kind of thinking. That is all cultural diversion. What is real is you, and your friends, your associations, your highs, your orgasms, your hopes, your plans, your fears. And, we are told No, you’re unimportant, you’re peripheral — get a degree, get a job, get a this, get that, and then you’re a player. You don’t even want to play that game. You want to reclaim your mind and get it out of the hands of the cultural engineers who want to turn you into a half-baked moron consuming all this trash that’s being manufactured out of the bones of a dying world.

THIS!
The charging of the black stone.
The heartbeat can be heard, the heat can be felt. The Djinni rests in its new home.
From: ‘The Gift of a Djinni’ by Docteur Cæli D’Anto
NYX
[noun]
Greek mythology: Nyx (Νύξ, “night”), Nox in Roman translation is the deity of the night. A shadowy figure, Nyx stood at or near the beginning of creation, and was the mother of personified gods such as Hypnos (sleep) and Thánatos (death). Her appearances in mythology are sparse, but reveal her as a figure of exceptional power and beauty. She is found in the shadows of the world and only ever seen in glimpses.

Inspiring; have you developed different routes between nodes, and diff ways up n down?
I have yet to develop routes but I am thinking about them.
I have come to the conclusion that the there are three regions of the nodes. The upper region of the metaphysical plane, the middle region of the material plane, and the lower region of the energy plane.
I am not sure if I ever will develop too much on the routes for a couple of reasons. One, I believe in a cyclical nature of the universe, you can use any starting point and find no true ending.
Two, I and mindful of the words of Peter J. Carroll, in his lecture, Some Considerations on the Philosophy and Practice of Magick:
“Modern Kabbalah in which I include the whole vast overblown edifice of correspondences between archaic pantheons, metals, plants, metals, stones, tarot, and astrology, can often be more of an obstruction than an aid to magick. Those who attempt to use the system in its entirety tend to be too preoccupied with patching in incongruent maps to each other, and their experience with the outer landscape, to do much effective magick.”
On that note, I have been working far too much and theorizing during my precious off time. I’m off to DO some magick.
