A quotation from O'Malley, Austin:

«««««
To laugh sturdily and often, and to wear a long belt, are not incongruous with sanctity. God’s image is in every man, high or low — a road puddle holds the moon as well as the sea.

Interesting interview with the Swedish religious historian David Thurfjell about our ability and desire to enchant/animate the world.

Adding the book to my reading list wondering why Thurfjell avoids the word #sanctity. A driving force in man has always been to point out holy places by separating the sacred from the profane, thus bringing order to chaos pinpointing an #axismundi

Sacralizing the world isn't quite the same thing as enchanting it.

Food is one #sanctity
Jesus turned himself into
a loaf of bread and soured
Grapes
Moses and Mo the Finale (PBUH)
were carnivores minus bacon
Real party animals

To find nutrition from moonbows
We can learn to veganise night food
Mushrooms!
My favourite are shiitake

What spice and sage herbalist
will soil our urban soul dankeries
with wondrous fungi?

If anyone needs me
I will be cooking the goddess realm
Balti, Wok and Cauldron

One #consecrated soul is preferable to a thousand other souls. If a small number of people gather lovingly together, with absolute #purity and #sanctity, with their hearts free of the world, experiencing the emotions of the Kingdom and the powerful magnetic forces of the Divine, and being at one in their happy #fellowship, that gathering will exert its influence over all the earth.
