My original plan had been to begin my meditations Monday by making the first round of candles, which would be dedicated to Dionysos.\u00a0 Unfortunately, Sunday night I cut my hand badly while doing dishes, and that plan was immediately scrapped.\u00a0 I can’t make candles or build altars without reopening the wound at this stage.\u00a0 Taking this as something of a sign, I spent yesterday coddling my hand, reading actual printed words, and living life unplugged from the internet.<\/p>\n
I type this post, now, entirely left handed, still full of peace from my first day of real leisure since … I don’t remember when.\u00a0 I spent all of yesterday reading, and half of today. \u00a0Depending on how quickly my hand heals, and how far behind I get as a result of this setback, it will be the 11th or the 18th before I start the Do Magick challenge.<\/p>\n
Sitting still for a day felt so good, though, that I cant quite bring myself to be upset by this delay.\u00a0 I think that my meditations will be improved by the slowdown.<\/p>\n
In the meantime I will continue my research.\u00a0 I’ve ploughed through Detienne and bookmarked both the Homeric and Orphic hymns, but Otto and Burkurt yet await.\u00a0 And I still have a lot of art to dig up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
