“Sounds like that dream you had helped you sort things out.”
“I suppose it did. But I have begun to wonder…”
Rudimentary footwork alphabet. Got the idea awhile ago to make sigils with dance and started writing words with my feet and hands as part of my stretch routine. I only use a handful of letters so this is kind of in the works, but so far nothing has gone horribly wrong.
The black line will be the foot you move first, or anchor with for some characters. Start with the closed circle, end with the open circle. The green line is your other foot- do the same there: start with closed circle, end with open.
Hands can follow a similar pattern, but move more freely. Movements can be small and confined or wide and expressive depending on your personal comfort level.
If I get the chance to, I’ll try to post a video.
is there one love?
I assume you are asking about a love deity. Ancient Egypt had many love gods and goddesses. The most well known is Hathor, who was analogous to Aphrodite. Isis-Astarte can also be considered a love goddess. My personal love goddess is the Thelemic goddess Babalon.
thoth is the god of knowledge?
Thoth is a god of knowledge. Traditionally, he is the god of writing, sciences, the moon, and magic. He records the judgement of the dead when their heart is weighed by Anubis. Also called Djehutiy, he is the herald of Ra and peacemaker of the gods. He is an aspect of the gnostic-hermetic being called Hermes Trismigestus. To the Greeks he was analogous to Hermes, to the Romans Mercury. Personally, for me, he is the god of Information which is the foundation of the universe.

Color in Magick
The use of color in magick should reflect what we know of color in physics and psychophysics. That is our use of color in ritual should be connected to our experience and the science of color.
The student of magic(k) would do well to build a basic understanding of both modern and historic color…
“To many people, the title of this book [Natural Magic] may seem to be a contradiction in terms. They think of magic as something essentially unnatural; indeed, against nature, because if it works at all then it must work by overthrowing nature’s laws.
However, the occult philosophers of olden time have never conceived of magic in this way. To them, magic works because of nature’s laws, not in spite of them. It is something built into the universe. Hence, there is nothing really supernatural or supernormal, in the strict sense of these words. All is part of nature; but much of the realm of nature is “occult”, that is, hidden.
The occultist, therefore, is one who ventures into these hidden realms in search of their secrets.”
