After several weeks of silence, some of my favorite magical bloggers are spewing forth brilliance again.\u00a0 Combined with my own experiments, this is getting me thinking about a lot.\u00a0 In the coming weeks, then, you can expect lots of posts with links which will be increasingly out-of-date, as I don\u2019t generally like to post more than once a day and I often like to spend several days thinking about big things.\u00a0 (Today\u2019s blog-spoo of meta-posts not withstanding.)<\/p>\n
A few links you should read and which I will come back to:<\/p>\n
RO<\/a> and Jason<\/a> and Deb<\/a> and Jow<\/a> all wax poetic about a magicial convention that I would love to attend sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n Gordon at Rune Soup talks about his magical strategies<\/a> and experiences in ways that I think every newbie \u2013 and quite a few more experienced magicians \u2013 need to hear.\u00a0 He also has some really good things to say on the pursuit of enlightenment<\/a>.\u00a0 He also directed me to a very shiny<\/a> new blog AND a link to an older post of his that will be the source of many thinky-thoughts: in short, he attempts to establish a line between ethical syncretism and cultural appropriation<\/a>.\u00a0 It seems solid to me, but I wonder what Adrienne K<\/a>. \u2013 or another professional border guard of that distinction – would think of it?<\/p>\n Also in the next several days, I\u2019m going to switch from the traditional LBRP to a Neo-Pagan variant, and be reporting how that goes along with my first experiments with holy water.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" After several weeks of silence, some of my favorite magical bloggers are spewing forth brilliance again.\u00a0 Combined with my own experiments, this is getting me thinking about a lot.\u00a0 In the coming weeks, then, you can expect lots of posts with links which will be increasingly out-of-date, as I don\u2019t generally like to post more … Read More<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-80","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p8kUcm-1i","jetpack-related-posts":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/journeythroughtheobsidiandream.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/journeythroughtheobsidiandream.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/journeythroughtheobsidiandream.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/journeythroughtheobsidiandream.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/journeythroughtheobsidiandream.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=80"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/journeythroughtheobsidiandream.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/journeythroughtheobsidiandream.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=80"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/journeythroughtheobsidiandream.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=80"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/journeythroughtheobsidiandream.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=80"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
