Hmmmm....that reads like it's missing a "Hail Eris!" or two... ;-)

Okay... ajrose93 December 22 2006, 02:06:23 UTC

...now you're just GIVIN stuff away. Next you'll let people know that initiation is largely a test of WIT!

(Uh, oops. Forget I said that. :) )

Happy Solstice, and/or Holidays of Choice, to you & yours! (ooo -- and belated birthday, too, I suddenly recall) :D

93, Sis!

Aren't you kind to say so! I was hoping somebody might want a glimpse at what I'm wasting my life doing. ;)

I am pleased with how the four (five, with the original Supreme Ritual) rituals fit together on the Tree, and manage to suggest something about "initiation"; and I think the Winter Solstice might be my favorite, as the "Festival of Change," where we prepare to turn back up from Malkuth and make our way to Kether for next 20 March and a new annual current. (The other festivals also correspond to the Tarot 2's in question: Spring = "Dominion" (Chokmah), Summer = "Love" (Binah), Autumn = "Peace" (Tiphareth), and then Malkuth, Winter, Change, and back up the Tree we go. The Supreme Ritual itself is actually an invocation right back upwards (and now I'm going on too long and will shut up).

Anyway, thanks again so much for the comment! :D
