The Midgard Serpent is one of Loki’s children along with Sleipnir and Hel as examples. He started out as nothing really but a little worm, and as he grew in size, he became too huge in a relatively short period of time. In fact, it grew to such a big size that he could bite his own tail.
There is viking myths about the waves in the sea being the result of Jormungandr twisting and turning in the oceans. Also, when the time comes for Ragnarök, he will fight Thor, the thunder god.

As the dancer whirls, she chants in a strange, slow voice, quickening as she goes: Lo! I gather up every spirit that is pure, and weave him into my vesture of flame. I lick up the lives of men, and their souls sparkle from mine eyes. I am the mighty sorceress, the lust of the spirit. And by my dancing I gather for my mother Nuit the heads of all them that are baptized in the waters of life. I am the lust of the spirit that eateth up the soul of man. I have prepared a feast for the adepts, and they that partake thereof shall see God.

I wanted to let you know about a new space for Community Announcements over on the Hrmtc Underground BBS.
The Community Announcements forum at the Hrmtc Underground BBS is a place is for people to announce calendar events, goods and services, creations of various kinds and gatherings that are of relevant interest to the audience of the Hermetic Library.
The intention is to provide a space for the community to reach out to each other without cost with brief notices that include some indication of how to find out more about the good, service or event mentioned, such as offering a link. Of course, I’ve been posting Goods and Services and Calendar Events on the blog for quite some time, but, until now, there was no formal way to submit or post these if I didn’t find them on my own, through my own ongoing search safari generally from day to day. By creating this new space on the BBS, it is possible to help not only get the word out to the community, but also I may occasionally feature these announcements on the Hermetic Library blog.
Witchcraft is the recourse of the dispossessed, the powerless, the hungry and the abused. It gives heart and tongue to stones and trees. It wears the rough skin of beasts. It turns on a civilisation that knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.
Dr. Michael A. Aquino’s experience on the North Solstice of 1975 CE, or the Year X of the Age of Satan, as recorded in the Book of Coming Forth by Night has provided a tremendous clarifying effect upon the doctrine of Aeons, Magi and Words. I will not be going into a full account of this…
