Hi!
Perhaps a Re-#Introduction is in order since there's so many more people in this space to share stories and insights with.
I'm an #Alchemist. I manipulate symbols and materials to effect #transformations and thus transform myself.
My practice was revealed to me in a series of trances by an ancient #goddess who has many historical forms. Some of these are the #Kemetic goddesses known as the Eyes of Ra. She recently revealed to me that she would like me to refer to her as #Hathor. I'm not second guessing that advice.
I'm a cis het old guy (58) happy married for 25 years. I adore women. Mostly from afar.
Race- white, blue eyed ethnic jew.
My technique is centered on an apparatus I built based on a design the goddess revealed. I later connected the components and operation symbolically to equipment and processes described in classic #Alchemy sources.
I'm a non-traditional Alchemist. I don't use a forge or do metallurgy. My device is electrical and uses a type of #crystal to focus energy. It can roughly be described as a type of lamp. The picture shows the output of my process. It's called a #Violograph.
It is commonly asserted, and I agree, that the coveted philosopher's stone refers to the practitioners themselves. As the goal of the process it is in reality the transformed person.
This is done by separating the spirit and soul from the #body, changing them and then re-uniting them in the body again. Carl #Jung has some interesting ideas on this.
Politically- #anarchosyndicalist and card carrying #Wobbly. I’ve been working at the same factory for 28 years.
Other areas of interest besides the #occult are listed below.
Music-
I write songs, play electric #bass and #ukulele. Not famous at all.

Philosophy:

#HerbertSpencer (I know- cringe)
#MaxStirner
#Hegel
#Heraclitus
#Iamblichus
Â
Food: #glutenfree, I'll take what I can get. Non-celiac.
Drink- #pinotgrigio wine spritzers mostly.
A pinch of #weed goes a looooonnnng way. After 45 years of smoking I'm a total lightweight now that it's legal here. That's #Chicago (officially a suburb 10 miles outside city limits), btw.
Everyone I’ve met here is awesome!
Peace and Solidarity!
