Taion the Gnome
@taionthegnome.bsky.social
Just a gnome that wanders about the upper Midwest. I love my Wife, Hekate, used book stores, coffee shops, the woods, and rivers, especially rivers. I write Haiku, make art, read esoteric books, and ponder. I strive to ever be a Student.
The world has always been on fire and has always been falling apart. It's just a matter of degree and if you are currently in the flames.
I hope everyone reading this avoids the flames.
Happy Wednesday

I have been pondering why I chase magic. I don't know. I wonder if birds ask how they fly or if fish ponder swimming. I know that I crack myself open and tear out my innards and examine them, put them back. I breath and rest and find myself doing it over again.
I am a moth and magic is my flame.

Why do you pursue Magic?
Why put up with the self doubt?
Why chase the ephemeral?
I don't expect a lot of folks to answer but admit to being curious about others reasons to step into the unknown.

Some Gnosis from a Hekataion Witch.
In the last 4 years of working closely with Hekate I found a Cadre of other Gods that seem to be around her.
Obviously, Selene, Helios and his descendants, Hermes-Thoth, Demeter, Persephone.
Also Isis, Neb-Thet, Cybele, Ma'at, Sekmhet even Baba Yaga.

Bad Basics lead to bad or inefficient magic.take time to assess if you need to revisit the basics.
Boring builds until it's fantastic.
Raw talent can be a trap without solid basics.

Odds are you won't find anything profoundly magical on Social media.
You will however find leads, threads that you may be able to follow to profoundly magical experiences.

I think magic and science are the only two endeavors that always lead to more questions than answers.
Or an understanding of how much you don't actually know and as a side effect it cracks you open.
And then you/I ask yourself/myself to what purpose do I seek these answers

Type up your spells so that you can get at them from your phone.
I love hand written and paper or printed and paper. But it's really handy to have them available almost anywhere.

In a reading rabbit hole these last several days.
Dark Man is a good balance of soul and academic.
Fairy is almost all academic light on soul, more of a primer
Sigil Witchery is good and now I get the influx of similar looking sigils on social media
Lucus is all soul and I am enjoying it.

This is the biggest Hagstone like this I have ever found.
I gave it to my wife a bit ago and she is giving it to the Yoga studio we go to.
Also she got me a rack to dry prints on

I find the Augury of birds to be the most reliable form of divination. Even better it comes to me.
If you're interested in it, I got there by acknowledging the sun every day at sunset. Then slowly developed by asking my questions facing the sun

The moment you decide is when you're engaged. Decide to do a rite or summon a spirit you're engaged in the work. You decide to do a spell you're engaged with the spell. By this I mean really decide. We all know the difference between I think I'm going to and I am.

This Lino carving experiment has taught me form only exists when things have been removed to let the shapes come forth.
Yet the parts that are recessed are still there and tied to the whole giving it strength.
Where does the print end and begin?
This informs my magic ideas
