Introduction
On my other blog in my original post entitled Full Circle, I highlighted my background influence by the aura of Santeria (since childhood) and how I made my transition from Catholicism to Wicca as a teenager. In my late teens I came to realize that Wicca was no longer moving me forward, and it took several years for me to make a clean break from it. I'm an earth sign, this probably has some bearing on my bond with earth as an element. I was always drawn to Celtic and Sumero-Babylonian religions and mythologies. I also began to feel a pull in different directions: to witchcraft, shamanism, a myriad of different forms of magic, history, mythology and folklore, philosophy, hermeticism, gnosticism, spellcraft, necromancy, chaos. As a grad student I studied philosophy, medieval magic, renaissance magic (names like Ficino, Bruno, Agrippa, Fludd), as well as religion and the social and intellectual histories of 19th century society (Mesmer, Levi, Kardec). Incorporating all of this together, in addition to some new age concepts has helped me to form a more flexible way of looking at magic - which is why I often refer to The Late Hour Light as my theoretical/experimental blog.
My major point of reverence is usually aimed at the Universe, and I tend to focus an awful lot on chaos and order as a few of the gossamer threads that hold everything together (kinda like duct tape).
