Ritual is a conscious connection to the unconscious (or a connection to kia via the unconscious, w/e floats your boat).

Though they are not 1-to-1 the same, I connect 'ritual' etymologically with 'habit'. The same way you have small daily habits, you can have small daily rituals.

On of the first things that people like Gison and Burroughs will tell you to do is to deliberately form a daily habit/ritual that is without purpose. For example, you have a paper wheel pinned to the wall near your light switch. Every morning, when you leave the house, you invert the wheel 180 degrees. Soon, you will be jnverting the wheel without thinking about it, showing how deliberate intent can effect the automatic functionings that control our actual second to second actions

Also, with the hypernormalization of 'reality' that many of us face, I'm forced to admit that even very fantastical things cannot be automatically discounted they way they once were.

What physically would be different in your life if la sombra Did take down united 93? Would we not have invaded Iraq? If the infamous 9/11 dust really Was the dust of a vampire coven making it's nest on floor 82, does that mean all those people would not have gotten sick from inhaling it? Posters like to joke 'death to America', because they say the country is evil. If the country was ruled by Literal evil vampires, would that really change?

Then the arguments "no the people who rule us here in real life are literal evil monsters, just not Vampires" . And then it's like, okay, but notice how none of the context or solutions change between scenarios?

Awakening is itself throne propaganda to keep others from ascension

Its a dirty rear end trick, but aren't they all

all of this celebration of mantic divination is excluding those of us who, barely aware of even the present, cruise magooïcally thru blessing after blessing, evincing at best a dull awareness of our own impossibility

The best description of the tarot I've ever read has been from, of all people, Mercedes Lackey

E. In her 'Pheonix and Ashes' a young elemental neophyte of fire is enslaved by a mistress of earth via the burying of her fingerbone under a stone of the hearth. The only teacher she has is hedge witch for whom raising up an elemental adept is clearly out of her league. Ahhh, but if she goes through the Tarot sequence as the seeker....

Speaking of authors who are also magicians, I was reading Dune Messiah, and the scene where Jessica is introducing Farradn to the start of Bene Gesserit training is Word-For-Word out of Liber Null / Psychonaut

Witches have been trying for time immemorial. Afaik, it only works with chimpanzees and the fetus never makes it to the third trimester
