youtu.be/o6f593X6rv8?.... One of my all time favourite songs, that feeling of being whisked away by intense love. #thelema #hga #occultsky #occultism #magick #witchsky #magicksky #pagansky

Originally misread this as Papal bull endorsing the Knights Templars' first same sex marriages. If only history had left out that comma....😂🤔😂

Good god, even palm branches can be lurking places of the devil can they? I'll be sure to bear that in mind when I next encounter one 😂😂😈

100% how it feels.

Thanks!

#3 Dark Night of the Soul and other beautiful mystical texts) was eventually killed by Catholic authorities who felt threatened by the changes that Theresa & he promulgated. Changes to bring the faithful closer to god by way of mystical union. Do religions promote or deny mysticism even now?

#2- during her time, the counter reformation was in full swing. Any heretical thought got you burnt at the stake. Mystical thought was seen as dangerously undogmatic and therefore to be suppressed. Keeping the sheep as sheep. Her close colleague, St John of the Cross, (the author of )...cont'd..

It is shocking to see how the Catholic authority of the day could so ruthlessly eliminate Theresa's memory. She is still seen as a genuine mystic even today. Whatever we might think about the Christian framework from our privileged perspective of religious freedom, she didn't have that freedom.

Info plaque. In 1620's, a campaign to make St Theresa a co-patron of Spain. The pope overruled the Spanish kings who supported the campaign. The pope then ruled that all imagery of Theresa be destroyed. This painting is an almost unique survival.

My path to mysticism started off with the Carmelite tradition. I've long since moved on, but it's interesting to go back & revisit the past in order to 'slay some demons'. And then find out they weren't demons after all. More in comments. #occult #witchsky #pagansky #occultism #thelema #magick

Ostensibly the penitent Magdalene but I reckon she's casting a secret spell #witchsky #pagansky #magick #spellcasting #occult #occultsky #occultism #chaosky #paganism #wicca #witchcraft

I love the simplicity & coherence of this. A question - why have Kia at the other end to chaos?

Wishing everyone a peaceful Spring Equinox. May this time of equal day & night bring a more balanced current to the world. #chaosky #thelema #witchsky #pagansky #springequinox #magick #occult #equinox

Just stick some horns on & tell them you're Baphomet - that should scare off any nay-sayers 😉😆😆

You mean you have to choose? 😂😂😂

Anyone else reached a point when you know you've got to get off the path & chuck yourself into the fast moving current? All rivers lead to the formless chaos that is the sea. It's what rivers do. It's whether you want to be swept along with it or stick to a path. #chaosky #magick #occult

As a maker, I can relate to this. It's way more creatively satisfying to not have total control over the end result (process). And the end piece is often much more interesting than if it had been planned to the nth degree (product). An element of randomness is a large part of creativity IMHO
