The Eight of Cups: Indolence

"Fast by her Side a listless Maiden pin'd,
With aching Head, and squeamish Heart-Burnings;
Pale, bloated, cold, she seem'd to hate Mankind,
Yet lov'd in Secret all forbidden Things."
— from The Castle of Indolence by James Thomson

#FollowFriday and some #Introduction (5/2)
I'd like to post more #Pagan and #Occult stuff, myself. It'd help if I followed some people that posted similarly.
I have ~15 #Tattoos, most of them are #Spells using #Sigils.
I have studied #Tarot. Mostly #ThothTarot from #AleisterCrowley. My partner and I own dozens of Tarot decks.
I think about #Loki a lot. And their daughter, #Hel. #Chaos and #Death track all over my life, so I witness their influence on me.

@Crazypedia Replying ever so very late to this thread, but there seems to be a lot of that going on lately with so many of us recent arrivals at Mastodon.

I'm going to throw out there pretty much anything by #LonMiloDuquette A great starting point is "Low Magick: It's All in Your Head ... You Just Have No Idea How Big Your Head Is" #LowMagick opened up doors and blockages for me & helped me to unlock some levels of prior religious programming that I had not consciously keyed into still influencing me the way it was. And, it's not at all a typical #grimoire or manual or how-to guide, it's more a series of personal Essays in a memoir style from a long time practitioner. Casual, non-intimidating, and yet quite impactful.

Also, his book on the #ThothTarot is possibly the best one out there on the #Thoth deck. I'd handily recommend it over #Crowley 's own writing on the topic. LMD is much more accessible and maybe even more informative.
