Anyway the transgender relationship to magic is inherently deeper in many ways. It is not often that the Practicioner is able to literally exist as physical synthesis between binary energies. We are our own archytype. As above so below.

It is true that the worlds of the other gods are not without paradox. But none of these world is as disrupted by it as is the world of Dionysus. He, the nurturer and the god of rapture; he, the god who is forever praised as the giver of wine which removes all sorrow and care; he, the deliverer and healer, “the delight of mortals”, “the god of many joys”,so the dancer and ecstatic lover, the bestower of riches", the “benefactor” - this god who is the most delightful of all the gods is at the same time the most frightful. No single Greek god even approaches Dionysus in the horror of his epithets, which bear witness to a savagery that is absolutely without mercy. In fact, one must evoke the memory of the monstrous horror of eternal darkness to find anything at all comparable. He is called the “render of men”,“the eater of raw flesh”, “ who delights in the sword and bloodshed.” Correspondingly we hear not only of human sacrifice in his cult but also of the ghastly ritual in which a man is torn to pieces. Where does this put us? Surely there can be no further doubt that this puts us into death’s sphere. The terrors of destruction, which make all of life tremble, belong also, as horrible desire, to the kingdom of Dionysus. The monster whose supernatural duality speaks to us from the mask has one side of his nature turned toward eternal night.

Friendly reminder that over here at forbidden-sorcery, we (myself and the void within me) say - nazis of any sort fuck off, disarm cops (who are all bastards) and arm trans people, abolish anthropocentrism, perform rituals in the woods, rewild the world and decivilize!

i’ve been studying & reading tarot for over 20 years and it thrills me in a way few other things do with its potential for astounding variety and combination, but if there’s one thing that has never made sense to me and i still don’t care for is when any given card is described as essentially “masculine” or “feminine.” i can’t imagine limiting myself or the cards in such an absurd fashion.
