I recount my journey in my work, Hymn to Our Holy Mother Hekate.
In my own real-life anagogic journey, I encountered angelic entities, evil daemons, and the face of Jesus. I felt terror to the bone. That I have recovered - if I have - is thanks to Hekate. It is she who led me to the doorstep of eternity with much to learn and worlds to explore.
One of the best descriptions of Theurgy occurs in Danteβs poem, The Divine Comedy. Hekate (as Beatrice) helps guide Dante from the demonic crossroads to the Beatific vision of the Primal Fire. Danteβs experiences in his ascent reflect those of a Theurgist in their Anagogic ascent.

A few years ago I wrote an article for @aeon.co about how French philosopher Henri Bergson's lectures in the early 20th century attracted a huge number of women and how their enthusiasm fuelled a backlash against him: aeon.co/essays/henri...

In the Theurgic liturgy, today is the Feast of Hypatia, martyr for Neoplatonism.
Hypatia's death in Alexandria at the hands of a Christian mob sounded a death knell for ancient philosophy. After her death, Theurgy had to move underground to bring light to those seeking Truth.

There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective.
Heβs not protecting others; heβs protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.
Woke up this morning wondering if maybe I was finally ready to learn how to take.

And people think art is all money, good feelings and gashing slits. Alfred Jarry prophesied our great leader many years ago, lending credence to the idea that art can transcend time and space. Here's a token of of the type he called Pere Ubu. Hail Trump the profane clown, top of the class.
Alyssa Liu has confirmed she frequents Club Pythagoras, where membership requires remembering at least one past life. It also does not serve beans.

I think the Trump regime has a unique opportunity here. Within days, Iran will be on the ropes and clamoring for a ceasefire and probably terms. Trump should demand significant social reforms including the emancipation of women, rejection of terrorism, and the destruction of the nuclear program.

Iran is showing Khamenei in heaven with his 72 virgins - whose age looks suspiciously close to Trump and Epstein's taste.
He threatened to expose some bad things Kennedyβs son was involved in.
I've been really enjoying this podcast series from Jad Abumrad about the life and music of Fela Kuti.
It's got everything: the birth of Afrobeat, his incredible revolutionary mother, post-colonial history of Nigeria, and the story of the movement he started. It's so fucking good.

James Talarico: I frankly am tired of the "thoughts and prayers" rhetoric from our leaders here in Texas and in our nation's capital.
I believe in the power of prayer. But there is something profoundly cynical about asking God to solve a problem that we're not willing to solve ourselves.
A light shines in the deepest darkest recesses of the human soul. Courage finds it, nourishes it, and brings it to the world at large, where it joins with all other light and re-joins what was never really separate.
In case there was any question about my feelings, thoughts, and prayers re: El Trumpino and his MAGAts

As the so-called major religions gear up for a season of repentance and reflection on sin, here's a friendly reminder that Hekate always waits to greet you at the crossroads of choosing between good or evil. She will guide you on the path to greater self-awareness and cosmic consciousness.
My daughters and I just finished reading Frankenstein. I havenβt seen the new movie, but my daughter has. She thought it was good. But after reading the book, she thinks the movie is not that great.
