«El hombre moderno no comprende hasta qué punto su “racionalismo” (que destruyó su capacidad para responder a las ideas y símbolos numinosos) lo ha puesto a merced del “inframundo” psíquico. Se ha librado de la “superstición” (o así lo cree), pero, mientras tanto, perdió sus valores espirituales hasta un grado positivamente peligroso.» #jung #simbolo #mito #imagen

«El poeta debe conseguir, cueste lo que cueste, la independencia social y espiritual, aprender a pensar tanto mítica como racionalmente y no dejarse asombrar por las fantásticas bestias no zoológicas que se introduzcan en el círculo; vienen para que se las interrogue, no para alarmar.»

R. Graves

“From the time of Sigmund #Freud and Carl #Jung and to our present System 1 theory of fast, instinctual cognition, #psychology has acknowledged and explored the submerged irrational aspects of mind. But this has had little impact on #education. The pre-rational mind is treated as a liability rather than a resource to be cultivated.”

Uhm... #introduction

Nothing really to say about me as a person, I have crippling #anxiety & so no life/accomplishments to speak of. Here are some of my interests, I'm an expert on none.

#introduction

I've stumbled upon this place looking for some kind of calm, relatively cozy internet space where I can seek out a tiny community. Or just talk into the void, that works too. I'm looking to find my voice again and what it is I want to say.

I'm Jen. I'm a writer, lately more of a thinker, and I'm looking to start fresh with something new. And not just my writing but my whole self moving forward. I've been through so much internal transformation in the past few years that I've come to feel alienated from pretty much everything/one I know. I need to re-orient myself within all of this change. I'm finding that difficult to do with the people who have known me for a long time---it can be so hard to break out of the expectations of those closest to you, those who think they see you so well, but no longer do. I aim to create a little chrysalis for myself, so to speak, so I can embody myself more fully.

Hi!
Perhaps a Re-#Introduction is in order since there's so many more people in this space to share stories and insights with.

I'm an #Alchemist. I manipulate symbols and materials to effect #transformations and thus transform myself.
My practice was revealed to me in a series of trances by an ancient #goddess who has many historical forms. Some of these are the #Kemetic goddesses known as the Eyes of Ra. She recently revealed to me that she would like me to refer to her as #Hathor. I'm not second guessing that advice.

I'm a cis het old guy (58) happy married for 25 years. I adore women. Mostly from afar.

Race- white, blue eyed ethnic jew.

My technique is centered on an apparatus I built based on a design the goddess revealed. I later connected the components and operation symbolically to equipment and processes described in classic #Alchemy sources.
I'm a non-traditional Alchemist. I don't use a forge or do metallurgy. My device is electrical and uses a type of #crystal to focus energy. It can roughly be described as a type of lamp. The picture shows the output of my process. It's called a #Violograph.

It is commonly asserted, and I agree, that the coveted philosopher's stone refers to the practitioners themselves. As the goal of the process it is in reality the transformed person.
This is done by separating the spirit and soul from the #body, changing them and then re-uniting them in the body again. Carl #Jung has some interesting ideas on this.

Politically- #anarchosyndicalist and card carrying #Wobbly. I’ve been working at the same factory for 28 years.

Other areas of interest besides the #occult are listed below.

Music-
I write songs, play electric #bass and #ukulele. Not famous at all.

Food: #glutenfree, I'll take what I can get. Non-celiac.

Drink- #pinotgrigio wine spritzers mostly.
A pinch of #weed goes a looooonnnng way. After 45 years of smoking I'm a total lightweight now that it's legal here. That's #Chicago (officially a suburb 10 miles outside city limits), btw.

Everyone I’ve met here is awesome!
Peace and Solidarity!
