“Love what you do and do what you love. Don't listen to anyone else who tells you not to do it. You do what you want, what you love. Imagination should be the center of your life.” — Ray Bradbury
TAKING THE PATH: You have to walk the labyrinth, take the trip, do the work, risk the change in your work — and in yourself — in order to #MakeTheThingThatIsNot. (p. 79) #Ritual
My membership to the Art Institute of Chicago is worth every penny.
Throwback Thursday capture of Thinking of ̶Y̶o̶u̶. I Mean ̶M̶e̶. I Mean You., a major solo exhibition devoted to the work of renowned artist Barbara Kruger.
Every year at the solstices, the sun aligns with the Chicago grid system (the way our streets are platted). The result is that the sun sets in the center of the urban canyons of the Loop. It’s called Chicagohenge.
I am rather fond of these two sets. The colors came out really well. I decided to offer a choice of "sidekicks" for the set, because some people might not be comfortable with the female figurine. But everybody know the "wise old owl" motif - and wisdom is something we all need to manifest, lol.
These are prayer / manifesting ritual items for finding or enhancing your parnasah, which is your career or how you make a living.
Most of us these days think of artists as tortured souls who simply can’t even until they are inspired, and then they pour out their art in one rushing torrent of beauty and perfection. This is ridiculous. (p. 80) #Ritual
Unpaid help, alas. You'll get an in-file credit for the feedback. Publication itself will be free.
It might be helpful if you know what a peer review is, :) but you don't need to be a credentialed academic – it will just be fun if you can pose as one!
The game was tested. It's before formatting (6 A4s, ~2k words). Takes ~15 min. to play but feedback from reading is enough for the authors.

The Hermetic Library Anthology Album — Magick, Music and Ritual 10, the release for Equinox 2014, Sun in Libra, Anno V 0 (for some reason I wasn't releasing these on the anniversary of the library's birth in December yet), has started showing up in all the places online, streamers and shops, beyond Bandcamp!
I'm not finished adding all the permanent artist profiles for this year's new participants, but I just created the page for this year's supporter-exclusive album This Is Not An Hermetic Library Anthology Album -5 which will release for Thanksgiving, as thanks to those who help make it all happen! Want to get a sneak peek at what's coming at the end of the month?
More impermanent art on fallen leaves. Here, a sycamore. It’s a bit like writing a letter then burning it. There’s something very healing in drawing on a leaf, with certain intentions and feelings in mind, and then letting it go. Under the tree that it fell from, then into the river that keeps it alive. A very meaningful little ritual I can’t recommend enough. 💚
The Hermetic Library Anthology Album - Magick, Music and Ritual 9, the Samhain / Fall 2013 issue, the final issue of 2013, released 10 years ago on November 7th, and the final 4th issue of the last year when I did 4 seasonal releases each year, is now starting to show up in all the digital shops and players beyond Bandcamp!
