Trinitarian Prophesy: An examination of oracular praxis on mind, body and spirit

The archetypes of the oracle have often been regarded with a combination of consternation and curiosity. Witches, shamans, and magicians have all practiced the attainment and delivery of oracular work.

oh no… :( but at least they were there for each other! I know that’s probably no consolation, especially for Posner, but still! (also I love it that you dreamt about them, it is so rare to have dreams with fictional characters (at least for me).) And since we’re at the subject, have you seen the play live?

Of Flashing Sounds, transcribed from the notebooks of Allan Bennett and published in an issue of The Monolith (Journal of the Order of the Cubic Stone). Here Bennett is suggesting the use of the dissonant tritone (the diabolus in musica) as a sonic analogue to the Golden Dawn's use of 'flashing' (or complementary) colours.

In astrological terms, this possibly makes sense: while in Kepler's system an opposition between bodies would yield the concordant interval of an octave, in this system it gives a dissonant tritone.

The instruction about making a wand that has a sonic characteristic is also an intriguing idea, although I frankly have no idea what is being suggested in the final paragraph...
