“Lust” by Lady Frieda Harris, commissioned by Aleister Crowley.
Remembering The Red Lady.
Part of the difficulty of talking about details in regards to my first forays into witchcraft is that my records from those times were either badly kept, or completely lost during my first move from my parent’s house into the group home.
But some things are hard to forget. Witchcraft makes it hard to forget.
I would like to think that my spiritual initiations into the Craft didn’t start until the summer of 2010 when I performed my first dedication ritual to the compass directions. Make it all nice and neat you know?
But today I remembered something that occurred before that.
… Or was it the Candlemass after that?
My memories blur around the edges, time is often transient and un-pinnable in the spiritual worlds.
A couple of snaps of the original watercolour paintings by Frieda Harris of the Adjustment and Tower cards from the Crowley Thoth Tarot Deck – taken at The Venice Biennale 5 Sept 2013.
The Thoth Tarot deck has been my deck of choice since I was a little girl. My grandmother (who is a psychic) introduced me to it. Painted by Lady Frieda Harris according to instructions from Aleister Crowley, it’s majesty is unparalleled. This card was always my favorite as a child.
The quality of looking within and trusting what is there. The word confidence comes from the root base to confide. Confidence is the ability to confide in and deeply trust oneself.
