Characith

And the exploration of yet another Tunnel of Set ends.

There is this funny thing that happens to me with magick. No matter how long I’ve been into it and even into this work of exploring the Tunnels of Set one-by-one, there are moments in which my skeptical self takes control and thinks “Maybe it was all a coincidence and the visions were meaningless. Probably nothing more is going to happen”. Then reality kicks my ass and something huge turns my life upside down again.

Like meeting a fascinating existence that shouldn’t be alive to begin with. And this event had perfectly synchronized with the Characith working.

I also suspect when this all ends I won’t even be living in my country anymore. And probably with 7 tunnels remaining I can’t begin to suspect how different my life will be when it all ends.

I would get personal but I don’t like getting personal through words in Tumblr. I prefer the subtleness of the images and reblogs. Its more comfortable and it lets me express myself deeper, even though it looks like I’m not saying anything very specific.

In Characith I learnt a bit more on how magick works and on how reality reacts to your innermost beliefs about it. If I want my music to go anywhere I have to believe I am a musician, and to do it deep enough that I become unconscious of such belief, “its just who I am” (then again, is such a belief worth burying in the unconscious?). And the same goes with any other aim. Yet there remains the really important question here, and I guess this might be related to the Zamradiel tunnel I am now opening. Which aims are really worth? Aren’t personal aims sort of wasting the potential of magick? I need to re-learn how to think big. In the end sometimes it feels like magick flows stronger when your vision gets wider and your aims become more relevant not just to your petty desires but to the society and culture you’re living in.
