Magick Working Journal

I am pretty stoked about the Occupy movement coming to Indianapolis. I knew that if I attempted no-mind meditation today it would be pointless. I increased my meditation time, and after settling into my four-fold breath, let myself visualize what the protest will look like. I ended up brainstorming ways I can help the people camping out. I’m no camper, and while I plan on protesting during the day, I will drive back and forth to the site. I realized that I could also transport food, laundry, and other necessities for those who do stay.

After banishing I felt a strong sense of inner peace. Maybe this opportunity to transform my rage into action will be fulfilling.

I used camphor resin as incense today, powerful stuff. I think I will reserve that for healing and clearing the mind. As the concrete floor of my temple gets colder and colder, I will need a carpet fairly soon. I plan on painting a circle on an area rug. I know one of the inscriptions for the circle will be my motto – Quero Regnum – “I seek the Kingdom”. Still debating on what the rest will be. I looked as AC*’s example for Liber ABA. God names may make an appearance.

*Yes, I am making my peace with Aleister Crowley. I have ordered The Magick of Aleister Crowley by Lon Milo DuQuette to further my understanding.

For the most part, my dreams last night elude my waking memory. I do remember two things. One, visiting a huge dead tree with multiple trunks. The bark rotting off of it.

Second, the word “Leviathan”. I don’t know who spoke it or why. It’s a bit disconcerting, but more curious. I don’t fear Christian concepts of devils and demons anymore. In fact, I find one man’s demon is another man’s angel. I still wonder why he mattered so much to remember his name so distinctly. I am fearful of Cthulhu, whom I believe to be a form of Leviathan.

Another hit changing my perceptions of the world. Someone in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is reading my blog.

For most of my life I have never remembered much of my dreams. Then, last week, they seemed to open up to me. Sadly, I remembered nothing from last night. One variable may be alcohol. Another, that I don’t meditate on the weekends. I guess I will stay away from booze and see what happens tonight.

During meditation today I concentrated on how I want to craft my fire wand. I definitely want to use some of the acorns from the same tree as part, either at the tip or the base. Probably the tip. This may require some type of metal pin to make sure it does not break, which I’m okay with. I believe that wands should contain some sort of conductive material. How I will accomplish this in a practical sense is another matter. I have never been good with tools, but I am determined to work at it.
