POST SCRIPTUM I- taste

✦ once tasted, silence stains ✦.

✦ ᛚ ᚦ ᛇ ✦

Hypnosis is not submission.

It is a banquet in the dim light.

I offer you the cup. You choose whether to drink.

But once you taste inner silence — that warm darkness where there is no violence, only heartbeats —

wakefulness tastes like ash.

Welcome to my night.

"...rituals of the Void are brought forth..."

The full illustration will be available in the upcoming release of my Lexicon Book: The Thanuvith!!

Only the Special Edition contains these special illustrations and explanations of the path of Sul'voth.

I go back and forth with which I want to adopt as an official ritual language. I can see the strong benefits for either, but I can't try to learn both at once. also I should probably pick on Ogham/Ogam spelling for each fid and stick with it

Which language do you use in your practice?

Sen-Goidelc / Old Irish

Gaeilge / Modern Irish

Gàidhlig / Scottish Gaelic

Gaelg / Manx

I use a mix of a modern Gaelic language and Sen-Goidelc

I strictly use English, even in spell and sigilcrafting

The Ritual of Falling

✦Note: This piece contains soft hypnotic language and may feel trance-like.Read only if you’re comfortable, and proceed at your own pace.✦

✦ ᛉ ᚨ ᚷ ᛟ ✦

We’ve already talked about triggers. About how a sound signal, a word, a snap of fingers, becomes the liquid border between trance and awakening.

Something so simple forged through the repetition of sessions. Like a warm loop until the brain — that proud, stubborn animal — stops resisting and accepts.

It becomes as natural as the heartbeat you don’t remember. Something rehearsed a thousand times, like a kiss learned in the dim light.

As common as breathing. As easy as closing your eyes.

A sound. A gesture.

That interrupts wakefulness like a silk knife.

Pay attention. Do what I say. Obey me.

But you already know you can. You learned it. You want to do it.

It feels so good to follow. Listen to me.

And fall.

Not into a void. But into a bed of dark moss, where the mind undresses without hurry.

Where Thought Learns to Hunt

✦ the mind does not think alone it is always surrounded ✦

✦ ᛚ ᚦ ᛇ ✦ Why don’t I reveal how to build a trigger? Am I afraid that someone might use that information for harm?

Perhaps.

The mind is like a deep jungle. Untamed. Wild. Filled with trees competing for a single ray of sun.

And in the jungle, when you are surrounded by so much vegetation, you begin to pay attention.

Just in case there is a predator.

But the predator does not attack with claws. It attacks with a voice. With a caress disguised as shadow.

It is not fear that I seek. It is reverence.

The same feeling you have when you walk at night and the wind carries the scent of jasmine and wet earth.

Something beautiful might be watching you. And for once, you don’t want to run.

I am currently hard at work on a new list of the Sul'voth runes to have as a permanent resource here, with a cleaner and more accessible aesthetic, as well as a few adjustments.

This set will be the final iteration, which will also allow me to focus on the next steps, namely the actual Lexicon and the upcoming Patreon page. Not to mention my return to creating videos, so stay tuned.

Cheers folks, and good tidings.

Contextualize.

Some people like to use phrases like 'Blessed Be', and 'So Mote it Be', when talking to other pagans online. However, don't be surprised if someone asks you not to, or might possibly be offended by your doing so. These phrases are ritual language. That is to say, they are phrases used within the structure of Wiccan ritual for very specific purposes, and outside of that context they may be meaningless, or incorrectly applied. Some Wiccans feel that using them out of context cheapens or degrades their sacredness. Others may not feel as strongly. 'Blessed Be' is a very specific blessing. It's not a greeting or a parting, and by using it as such you're showing you don't know what it properly means, or that you don't value its' importance to Wiccans.

If you wouldn't sign off your casual posts online with "Body and Blood of Christ", then you shouldn't do the same with "Blessed Be". It's exactly the same kind of sacred language, and it doesn't easily apply to things outside its' proper context.

It happens all the time. There will always be people who pepper their speech or writing with these phrases are trying hard -too hard, really- to fit into a subculture they feel insecure about. We all know people who overuse the jargon for certain groups or interests in order to look experienced or knowledgeable...but quite often it's too much the other way, and you end up looking like a noob.

There's nothing wrong with just talking to other pagans, or specifically Wiccans, like you would anyone else. "Hi" and "TTYL" work just fine, instead of "Merry Meet" and "Merry Part", and they're not going to upset anyone or make you look over-enthusiastic. Save the formal ritual language for ritual.
