Using Cartomancy to Understand your Witches Compass

This is a method I've been doing to uncover archetypes, symbolism, and mythologies/stories (some of my own making, some are not). If you are personally attuned to divination, this may be a fun exercise for you!

I'd like to note that I'm not an authority by any means over the subject of the Witches' Compass, I'm still exploring and learning how it fits into my life. However, I'm really passionate about the subject so I'm quite eager to share this idea I've been working with.

[Process explained under the cut. Warning! This is a lengthy post]

There are probably more correspondences to the cardinal directions than I'm even aware of, and there are multitudes of ways you can correspond each element. I highly recommend finding a firm understanding of how you generally perceive each cardinal direction, that way you have a basis before you start.

First, a list of things I recommend for this exercise, but they aren't necessarily required:

Have a preexisting idea of what each Cardinal Direction means to you. For example, I meditated on each direction and got an idea of which senses and emotions were evoked by each direction.

Take advantage of how the time of day can be associated with the Compass.

Have an understanding of how the elements connect to your cards and what symbolism they possess.

Now, moving onto the exercise itself:

1. Select a deck from which you can work with.

Tarot. Playing cards. Whatever you feel will take you on this journey without hindering you with preconceived notions. In my case, I selected a playing card deck I consecrated for divination.

2. Select four cards that represent each element along with 'beginnings'.

In my case, I used the ace card and then meditated on each card until I felt pulled to ascribe a direction to each one. You may feel pulled to rely on predetermined associations when it comes to ascribing directions-- go ahead and do that if it feels fit.

3. Take the card you associated with "East", this is the first card you will be starting with. Meditate on what symbolism behind the card means to you and how it empowers the cardinal direction.

If you're working with unfamiliar symbolism, don't shy away from taking a day to research the hidden meanings behind each card. You may also ascribe any preconceived feelings or notions towards this cardinal direction while you meditate on this card.

4. When you feel like you've sufficiently connected to both the card and the cardinal direction, place it to the east. Place the others in one of the cardinal directions.

Since the other cards aren't the focus, it shouldn't matter how accurately the others are placed. However it's desirable to attempt some accuracy if it doesn't pull away from your focus.

5. Now, this is when you will invoke the Compass:

I am not one for consistently opening the compass the same way every time, but for this excersize specifically I felt it nessicary to start with rhythmic humming and chanting. Moving clockwise, I invoked the spirits of each direction. I used an "open arms" gesture as I spoke to better connect me to each spirit (a symbolic way of welcoming each one). When I finished invoking each spirit, I would bend down and place a hand on each card, imagining the spirits of that direction standing guard over their respective card. I also find it helpful to imagine myself as the center of a Compass, and the circle I walk is the bounds I traverse.

6. Stand/sit at the center (whichever is more comfortable for you) and state your intentions with this working:

In this instance, I had said something to the effect of "I ask the spirits to facilitate my exploration of the East direction." And then I specifically asked the spirits of the east to "help me better connect with the direction of the East through symbolism and mythos."

7. Close your eyes and let yourself be taken on a journey. While waiting for the journey to begin, imagine the aspects of the cardinal direction, and imagine sensations and feelings you associate with it.

How this journey looks will vary greatly from person to person based on their beliefs, notions, and ideas of the unseen world. For me, I was approached each time by a different Goddess who shared with me a pivotal story that shaped them, but for you it could be a wide variety of possibilities.

8. After your journey is done, write down what you experienced. I personally like keeping my compass open for this portion because I feel that it helps me recall better. After you're done thank each cardinal direction for it's part in the exercise, and then close the compass when you feel ready.

I strongly recommend taking the rest of the day to do other things. I found it was easier for me to fully understand and digest the experience when I split each component of the exercise into dedicated days.

9. Repeat with each cardinal direction, moving in a clockwise direction.

So after your work with East, you will delve into South, then West, and finally North.

Concluding Statement

I think that just about covers everything! I took heavy inspiration from the exercises created by Ian Chambers in his book "The Witch Compass" so I definitely urge you to read his work if my exercise did anything to help you open your eyes to the nature of your compass.

I myself am nearing the end of my cycle on this exercise (I'll be honest I'm waiting until winter solstice to fully harness the energy of the north for my final journey), and it definitely has given me a robust understanding of how each facet of the compass can represent me as a person.

I hope this idea can be as helpful to you as it was to me! Feel free --as always-- to share any ideas you have for exercises that can supplement this one or ideas that can work alongside mine!

Science is spiritual!

Learning how the world works doesn’t strip it of magic, it reveals even more of it. The more I understand the universe, the more sacred it feels.

Teas for Witches: the Basics

I can talk about tea literally all day (and I have because I’ve worked in a spice and tea shop for years), and there is SO much to talk about with both health and magical benefits. Teas are made from tea leaves called camellia sinensis, with the exception of herbal teas/infusions. For this, I’m going to list magical and health benefits by type of tea.

Black Tea

Feminine * Earth * Winter * Strength * Stability * Death * Expelling Negativity * Alertness * Energy

Black tea is the most fermented and oxidized of all teas. Its tea leaves look shriveled and black. It combats heart ailments, digestive problems, high cholesterol, asthma, and breast/menstrual problems. Black tea also has a lot of caffeine (47 mg, still less than coffee) and too much of it can cause acidity issues in the stomach.  

Examples: English/Irish Breakfast Tea, Assam, Darjeeling, Lapsung Souchang, Ceylon, Earl Grey

**There is a subset of black tea called Pu-erh, a post-fermented black tea. Some consider this to be the “purest” of all teas and connect it to the aether, as it is rare and valuable.

Green Tea

Masculine * Fire * Summer * Passion * Healing * Conscious Mind * Sexual Health * Love * Energy * Progress * Magic

Green tea is slightly steamed but not fermented, which maintains its green color. It has many health benefits, such as detoxifying, reducing cholesterol and weight, boosting immunity and stamina, and reducing blood glucose. It has less caffeine than black, but still some. 

Examples: Jasmine, Sencha, Matcha, Gyokurocha, Genmaicha, Hojicha, Gunpowder, Dragonwell

Oolong Tea

Feminine * Water * Autumn * Reflection * Meditation * Wisdom * Serenity * Concentration * Romance * Friendship

I always describe Oolong as being between Green and Blacks, since it is half fermented. It can help manage weight and stress, balance blog sugar levels, remove free radicals, and promote healthy skin and bones. HOWEVER, too much can actually speed up bone degradation because it sweeps away excess calcium. And beware of its high caffeine content (I used to drink Raspberry Wulong to pull all-nighters).

Examples: Milk Oolong, Formosa, Wulongs

White Tea

Masculine * Air * Spring * Happiness * Wisdom * Moon * Purification * Protection * Clarity * Cleansing * Beginnings

White tea is a little harder to find. Either the tea leaves are plucked as immature leaves and steamed, or the leaves have not been processed (there seems to be little consensus across cultures). Some have a small amount of caffeine. It’s a great antibacterial and antioxidant, and it improves the heart, oral health, and skin. Drinking a couple cups works better than one, and you can reuse the tea leaves, granted that the second cup will brew longer.

Examples: White teas come in many flavors and are usually labeled as white tea. You may need to seek out a tea shop to find some.

Herbal Tea

Magical properties depend on which herbs are used

This tea seems to be the most popular for witches on tumblr, because it is composed of dry, unprocessed herbs, seeds, fruits, or roots, and has no caffeine (as long as the herb doesn’t!). There are many recipes online as herbals are easy to make. In general, herbal tea promotes calm, reduces cholesterol and risk of heart conditions, cancers, and diabetes. Due to its lack of actual tea leaves it has less antioxidants than other teas. Some don’t even call it a tea, but dub it Herbal Infusion.

Examples: Rooibos, most Chais, Ginseng, Chamomile, Peppermint, Spearmint, Hibiscus

**Yerba Mate is an herbal tea that is notorious for its high caffeine levels (you’ve probably seen the energy drink). It also zaps one’s appetite and can become addictive, so be careful around this tea!

As always, feel free to add/message me of any corrections, and I hope you find your cup of tea!

Sekhmet

Egyptian goddess of war, destruction, plagues, healing, divine wrath, fire, and the Sun

In Ancient Egypt, the gods all had two forms: their animal form and their human form. The goddess Sekhmet would either appear as a woman in a red dress or as a lion. Although to show her forms together as one, she was depicted as a woman with the head of a lion wearing a sun disc circled by a cobra on her head. She often holds the ankh – the symbol of life, when seated. When standing or striding, she is seen holding the papyrus specter which symbolizes Lower Egypt. 

As a sun goddess, she is connected with the scorching, searing, and burning heat of the sun. In this aspect, she was known by another name, “Nesert” which means flame. This sealed her fate as a terrifying goddess. Her title as the Red Lady associated her with desert where the heat of the sun reigns. And it is even said in myth that it was the breath of this goddess that created the desert. Sekhmet is also closely associated with the pharaoh and his kingship. She is believed to protect the pharaoh during war as the warrior goddess of Upper Egypt. She acquired the title “The Scarlet Lady” because of her lust for blood. In fact, celebrations and sacrifices are often offered to the goddess to appease her after the war and end the destruction.

Being the mother of a healing goddess, Sekhmet has her healing and protective aspects. While she may bring about disease and plague to those who wrong her as the Lady of Pestilence, she is also a master of the art of medicine as she provides the cure to various ailments she may have brought to man. She was the patron goddess of all healers and physicians. In fact, her priests were known to be very skilled doctors. As a result, the gruesome “Lady of Terror” becomes the benevolent “The Lady of Life”. She was mentioned numerous times in the various spells of The Book of the Dead as both a creative and vicious force. However, she is most known as the protector of Ma’at (balance or justice) with the epithet: “The One Who Loves Ma’at and Who Detests Evil”.

One of the most known myths of Sekhmet starts with Ra, the god of the sun. Ra was angry with humans as they were not properly following the laws he had given them, and maintaining justice. As punishment for the disobedience, he pulled an aspect of his daughter from his eye in the form of a cobra that transformed to a lion. He then sent her to Earth to destroy the dissidents. The Eye of Ra became Sekhmet. She ravaged the people and the land was covered with blood. Upon witnessing the carnage, Ra began feeling sorry and tried to call off the lioness, but she was bloodthirsty and ignored his plea. Anxious to stop the killing, Ra poured thousands of jugs of beer stained with pomegranate juice into the Nile, coloring it as red as blood. Sekhmet, thinking it was blood, drank it so quickly she became completely intoxicated and slept for days. When Sekhmet woke up, her bloodlust had faded and she gained a loving aspect named Hathor. Humanity was saved from her wrath, justice and balance existed once again.

In my personal experiences with this goddess, Sekhmet is deeply empowering, protective, and cunning. While she is fiercely protective and can be easily angered, she also can be motherly and understanding of others. She also wields a fiery and intense presence that may be overwhelming for some. Though her aggressive side seems to be quite dominant, it is best not to forget that she is also a healer, a nurturer, and a protector. With Sekhmet at your side, your suffering doesn’t have to be battled alone and she will show you how to find strength in every circumstance.

Tiamat

Mesopotamian archdragon-goddess of life and the ocean

Other names: Tántira

Mythology: In Mesopotamia, Tiamat had been known as the creator goddess; however, the Babylonians came to view her as evil due to her chaotic nature. This caused them to demonize the goddess and corrupt a true account into a myth that portrayed her as violent. 

In Akkadian myth, there are two cosmic oceans, the one of fresh water and the one of salt water. While Tiamat personifies the saltwater which encircles the Earth, her mythical husband Apsu personifies the freshwater ocean. Mythology describes the two primordial gods as mixing their waters in order to reproduce more deities. The oldest son of the gods was Ea, known to be the cleverest of the deities and had even become the most powerful among them. However, all these deities caused a great deal of clamour, constantly disturbing the sleep of Apsu. Angry and frustrated, Apsu tells Tiamat that he wishes to destroy their offspring, but Tiamat is furious about his plan and argues against it. Unfortunately, Apsu is intent on ridding himself of the younger gods and continues his scheme.  

Tiamat warns the god of wisdom, Ea (Enki), of the plan so he may keep safe, but Ea instead decides to go to Apsu and cast a spell on him. This spell puts Apsu into a deep slumber, allowing Ea to take his crown and slay him. Ea then builds his palace on Apsu’s waters, where with the goddess Damkina (Ninhursag), he fathers Marduk- the great god of storms. The other gods, however, went to Tiamat and complained of how Ea had slain her husband and wished for Apsu to be avenged. Heartbroken and enraged, Tiamat agrees and births an army of monsters. She also created the first dragons, “filling them with poison for blood”. Then the goddess herself takes on the form of a massive sea dragon. Tiamat next appoints her first-born son Kingu as the leader of her army and proceeds to wage war against Ea. The god Ea, being at a loss on how to fight such an opponent, requests his son Marduk to fight in his place, with the promise that he would rule over the gods if he won. Marduk thus began attacking Tiamat and her army, eventually vanquishing her. He then splits apart the goddess’ body and uses it to create life on Earth.

History: In Tiamat’s true history, she is a dragon who had been created by an Aeon within the realm of the Ogdoad, and was made with the ability and intellect necessary to create life on Earth. She first entered Gaia when this world was barely formed and coupled with her husband Krontár, who was also a dragon. With his voice, Krontár brought the Universe into order. With his purpose fulfilled, he was then reabsorbed into the Source, beyond the Universe. Tiamat then began operating on the Earth for about 1.5 billion years in order to create various oceanic lifeforms, starting from multi-cellular organisms and evolving them further. One of Tiamat’s many children is Leviathan, who was one of the main Watchers for Earth before becoming one of the three High Kings of Hell.

One day however, the Usurper arrived to Earth in order to claim it for himself. This is the notorious War that sparked Lucifer’s rebellion and many other gods to rise up to fight (the war of the Titans is based on it as well). Tiamat joined this battle and created many monsters and other beings to defend the Earth from this Tyrant, but this only ended in defeat. Tiamat then sacrificed herself in order to empower Gaia with further life-forming abilities, and then faded from the world. Her formless consciousness then rejoined her counterpart, Krontár, within the Source. Here Tiamat remained for billions of years, but has recently reformed and returned to Earth’s oceans as promised.

Appearance: Tiamat appears as an enormous Dragoness with dark gray scales and golden-green eyes. She is greater in both size and power than any other dragon in existence. 

Personality: Above all, Tiamat is a Mother. There are three primary Mother Goddesses for this planet: Tiamat as the creator of Earth’s lifeforms, Lilith as the manifestation of the Cosmic Womb, and Gaia as the Earth. Tiamat strongly values life, birthing, protection, love, generosity, and nourishment. Since she is one of the dragons, she shares in her kind’s values of illumination, harmony, and independence. She is strongly against falsehood and oppression, standing for freedom, truth, justice, and evolution instead. She preserves life and is not eager to destroy it, but is terrifying in her wrath. She is also a powerful defender against Apep, the snake-god of evil. Tiamat is also a protector of the young and innocent, as well as all those who are helpless. 

What she can help with: Healing from traumas and injustices, revenge against the corrupt, becoming self-empowered, learning how to move on, learning how to embrace life, and defense against tyrants.

Offerings: sea water, shells, cuttlefish bones, whale figures, sea dragon statues (do not offer things in the number of five)

Dragon Oracle Cards by Diana Cooper

The Starseed Oracle by Rebecca Campbell

Celestial Tarot Cards by Unknown

This art peice is inspired by the three cards I pulled today.

I am using "you" in the context of myself, and whom this may apply to aswell.

🐲♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤🐉♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤🐲

Be still. In the silence, magic can

happen. Be in the moment.

Page 110 from oracle book

Guidance:

"A source dragon has come to you now because it is time for you to enjoy a period of stillness with awareness. Breathe deeply and listen to the silence. ..."

Take time for yourself, give yourself space to breathe and listen to your intuition, relax.

"... Something very sacred is coming into your life. This could be anything from the fruition of a long-held dream to becoming a true master. ..."

This is very similar to the reading my BiBo, big brother (he/they) , gave me. I was asking for a message from Ki/Kishar, two cards fell out before he could shuffle them, they said that had never happened to him before. Those cards being Death and The Wheel of Fortune, right-side up. The jist of that reading was pretty much, "Good things are on their way, you're about to end a negative cycle." He had the feeling that she was mostly saying, "I'm here." Quite interesting that this card is playing into that message!

"... Breath is the key to being in the moment and this is where the greatest magic happens. ..."

Again, breathe. Focus on the now.

"... Ask the source dragon to accompany you on every step of your journey and always remember that the present moment creates your future."

Ki is here for your journey, and she wants you to just chill, listen to her, and let her guide you through this.

Page 38 from oracle book

P.s. I don't believe in starseed ideals, but I was called to get this deck by my Dragon Guide.

"The Pleiades are our cosmic cousins. They are here to remind us that it is never too late to learn new things and change the future. ... take a breath, shake off what you have been taught about the world, and hold a new vision for humanity. ..."

Education can greatly impact the future. Let go of what you have been taught and learn things that can be of use, use those ideals to bring in greatness.

"... You're likely a natural big-picture thinker here to generate ideas for the future. ...new age and... new world... woven by [dreamers] like you. ...enough courage to to question [the past] and envision new possibilities for the planet.

The world needs more artists, dreamers, inventors, and visionary thinkers. Perhaps you had an idea recently that you have been called to usher in. If so [this is your sign]. ..." <paragraph

You have the power to create change for yourself, or your environment. (With limitations of course). Put your ideas to use. Starting a Community Garden? Do it. Helping kind elder or disabled neighbors? Do it. Protesting for change in your neighborhood or town? DO IT. Even if it is the smallest act of kindness, you are creating a better future.

"... The Pleiadeans support us in this important stage in Earths development. They want us to know that the decisions we make today will affect the well-being of our planet and speices. They're calling on you to be a leader of the future. To hold a clear vision of what's possible. To trust that vision and follow it through with daily action. To dream a world into being. For it takes great courage to pave a new path- to trust a vision before it's a reality."

Again, doing what you can to make a better world. Though, you don't have to be a leader, just do what you can to make a change, kindness even to those you don't find so kind can make a difference.

"...Some projects take time, patience, and a gentle touch, just as growing plants does. When the seeds have been planted, the plants must be watered regularly, tended, weeded, sometimes trimmed, protected from slugs, and finally- after many months, they are fully grown. ..."

Growing, healing, and change take time & healing. Without taking care of yourself the way you would a plant, you can't have the change you expect.

"...The Seven of [Pentacles] reminds us that the effort we put into the present may not have results for many months or years to come, and that we should approach any situation with patience and care."

Don't get angry when you don't see immediate change. But you will see it with time, thank yourself for helping yourself, appreciate all that you are accomplishing.

☆ “[Ki]{1} blessed me by making me transsexual{2} for the same reason [she] made wheat but not bread and fruit but not wine: because [she] wants humanity to share in the act of creation. ...” - Julian K. Jarboe

{1} In Babylonian mythology Kishar/ Ki is the daughter of Lahamu and Lahmu, the first children of Tiamat and Abzu/ Apzu. Kishar represents the earth as a counterpart to Anshar, the sky, and can be seen as an earth mother goddess. Her name also means "Whole Earth".

{2} Transsexual usually indicates medical transition, some say only binary trans folk can use it, but I digress. If you plan on any medical intervention, then you can use it, weather that is hrt or gcs/srs. Transgender is typically used for the entire trans experience, anyone who identifies as a gender different than what they grew up being told can identify as trans, that includes demigendered folk that do align closest to their agab.

Entry number one: Creation, The Dragons, and The Spiritual Transsexual Experience as a Dragonic Pagan

Creation:

The art peice I created represents the creation of the universe, as well as humanity. As I see it Tiamat and Apzu created the first gods and our universe, their dragonic granddaughter Kishar created humanity and our Earth/ is our Earth, this is all within modern context of their stories. (Not to be taken literally, I say this with the intention of these Dragons representing the metaphysical creation, not the physical. As I believe in them being a metaphor but they have developed in the metaphysical space, because if you can imagine it, then it can be real in a sense.)

Also, no, I do not believe in a "first two people", I believe in evolution. My art represents creation of the human soul, well the piece needed for reincarnation. I believe our souls are not a 1 and done, we have many souls that make up our current selves, that collective soul gains more energy throughout each incarnation. We collect enough until we become gods ourselves, the gods we know are our ancestors (even the original xtian god), they had to learn humanity before they could be a spiritual leader for humanity. We hold the souls of our ancestors as well, even the forgotten one, our loved ones never truly leave us, you may see a peice of them in your kids (even the adopted ones). Looking at the creation of us through both Evolution and Metaphysical can help us understand the 9 aspects of our soul and body. Those 9 aspects being the physical body, ethric body, sentient soul, soul body, intellectual soul, conscious soul, spirit self, life spirit, and spirit body.

Understanding the Human, the Soul, and the Spirit can help us achieve being one with our current higher self.

The Dragon’s teach us to hold both the light and the dark to create a path for our higher self to walk with us. We must not hide our darkness, our pain, our sadness, our anger, to validate then rid them (using coping mechanisms incorrectly) is to suppress them. You must validate them and let them flow throughout yourself, let them disolve on their own. (Obviously if you are in a space with folks that don't understand, then hold them for later, then release them properly. I.e. writing, screaming, crying, ect.) Do not allow this to harm anyone in a physical manor or mental manner, (Baneful magick is hella valid though).

🌌 By partaking in the creation of a better you, you are a creator of your own universe. 🏞

The Dragons:

Dragons, "large mythical beasts that enjoy terrorizing villages with their fire breatheing powers-" Incorrect. Not all dragons have wings or breathe fire—and some do. Dragons are primordial teachers, here long before this current Earth <‐(I will not speak of my beliefs on that, as it may be uncomfortable for some). Dragons are found in ancient myths across the globe, I believe that even some deities started as Dragon Beings (ex. Brigid, Dionysus, Lucifer/ the Infernals, angels, primordial gods, ect).

{Disclaimer: When learning from these powerful Primordial Dragons, you must take into account that they are not deities, they are much more powerful. These Dragons MUST be respected, do not twist their words, do not treat them like pawns, do not evoke them. If you invoke (invite) a Dragon not in mythology and they come to you, do not speak their name to another soul without their permission. If you do these things without permission, you will lose the ability to communicate with the Dragon you called for.}

There are dragons for every element and season, even elements you may not see as being elements. There is no Dragon that completely rule over just one element, they may prefer to show you the power of a specific element though. But there are Dragons that preference storms, thunder, and/or lightning. There are chaos dragons and light dragons. Dragons that guard great treasures and some that live in the Fae Realm (those are sometimes called Faery Dragons, but that is not an accurate term). Many dragons are also shapeshifters, Dragons hold great power, magick, and ancient wisdom, they can be either more harmful or helpful, but are usually in a grey area teaching skills that may do either depending on the student. Working with dragons can give great power to you; just always remember that you already are holding that power, they are just teaching you how to use it.

To work with dragons spiritually, establish a connection through meditation, visualization, and intuitive communication. That involves asking Dragons into your spiritual space and understanding the unique abilities they possess and can teach you. The overall steps to work with Dragons in your spirituality are as follows: #1 Research Dragon mythology and symbolism, don't go with one source. #2 Create a sacred space for meditation and connection, doesn’t have to be a physical space. #3 Develop and listen to your intuition, writing down random (on topic) thoughts can be very helpful. Invoke (invite) your Dragon Teachers during spiritual practices, ask for an audience essentially. It may be scary if you start working with them all of a sudden, I suggest working with "smaller" Deities first, ones who enjoy human company (still treat with respect, they are teaching you as well).

The Dragons are here to help support your transition into your highest current self. Many are glad to teach you as long as you are willing to respect and learn from them. Dragon energy is very similar in vibration to that of the 10th dimension, and although this is a powerful energy, it is also one that is full of wisdom, peace, and knowledge. Most of the time we need help to get out of our own way and stop holdingour power back. We need to let go of the patterns and habits that have built up over the years, if you are freeing yourself from the xtian cult like thinking, you need to unlearn what you were taught. Once these thoughts and actions are gone, we are free to just be, free to live in service to ourselves. We just need a little help from those willing to teach, in all dimensions.

The Spiritual Transsexual Experience as a Dragonic Pagan:

☆ My Transsexuality is part of my Spiritual Enlightenment, I am creating myself to be the best me, and the best me is the transmasc that finds a spiritual experience in loving my trans body. The tiny bit of medical intervention I shall have, is not to shape a new me or to fix your perception of me. It is to match my body to how I feel, testosterone brings me a new experience, one that makes me feel closer to being my own God. Kishar is an important Draconic Teacher on my Transsexual Spiritual Journey, she made me Trans so that I (any trans person really) may find creation to be beautiful, the way she does. She shows me the light every time I see how far I've come.

When experiencing love, it's always beautiful, I choose to be t4t, the spiritual Enlightenment I feel when loving other Transmascs makes me feel the highest vibrations. As if our souls are embracing eachother in perfect balance. The joy I feel in my life partner, (he/him), and I (he/it/they), transitioning together is godlike. I can't wait to feel more of this, the Dragons have taught me that it is the most beautiful thing to have more than one partner, not all the time can you fulfill each others needs. I love hearing my Queer Platonic Boyfriend speak of his crushes, and I love telling him about mine.

Kishar asks for only one thing during transition, do not lose yourself in trying to make yourself appealing to them. You are your own god, you only need to please yourself.

{When I say "you are your own god" I don't mean I am/ you are better than anyone, or that you should do things against the reasonable moral code. You are only in control of yourself, your actions are not "divine interaction", they are yours, you control yourself. You make yourself, your identity is only yours and no one else's.}

{Anyway, this is the end of entry #1, I think I much prefer a digital grimoire over a physical one, much easier.}
