For the last 7 years or so I have facilitated a Study Group geared around the book AN CAROW GWYN: SORCERY AND THE ANCIENT FAYERIE FAITH by Robin Artisson. Within this text we gain a deep insight into what has survived as the OLDEST SPIRITUAL PATH of mankind, animism. Beginning here soon I will host a weekly Gathering to pour over this text with others. And the best part? These are recorded, so discussion can continue. I highly recommend getting a copy of the book, which can be bought as a Kindle or a paperback. I will be providing a reading and supplementary materials which will go to the creation of a "course" here on Skool. With relevant articles and other sources. Before there were pantheons and cultural myths, there were stories shared around the campfire of real interactions with Spirits, and we, today can have our own FAYERIE TALES.

To meet the Gods- the sacred forces worshiped by a people face-to-face- was not for everyone. To regain intimate communication with the dead, to see and experience the afterlife-condition that awaited all in death, to know one's place, to know how all the world came to be and whence came the wretched conditions that now proliferated: that person would have knowledge best reserved for the dead, and the Gods themselves. No one with that kind of knowledge will submit to slavery. They will not submit to manipulation, and they will not be carried away by the shallow sentiments that rule the hearts of most. For an individual man or woman, that was a precious gift, and if they had the wits to remain judiciously silent, it was the most precious of things. But society as a whole could not have such gifts; such a society would never survive. The force of truth appears as a grim destroyer when a society is carefully based on complex systems of untruth. -The Secret History, by Robin Artisson.

Sometimes the easiest exercise is also the hardest. When building your esoteric muscles you want to build long term focus and concentration. The most intense exercise is a simple meditation. Sit in a comfortable position. Take three deep bellows breaths, close your eyes, and count down from 100 to 1 while visualizing each number. Yes, as simple as that. If your thought strays, start over. Focused attention is the name of the game.

So I recently moved and so been behind on a lot of things. As soon as I get my laptop set up I will be able to start sharing content, videos and more. In the meantime, let us see about building more activity and interactions.

Greetings, One of the first things most mentees ask me when it comes to sorcery and the Old Ways is, which Spirits should I focus on building a relationship with? While most times I would say beginning with one's Domestic Spirits such as the Spirits of the Home, or one's Ancestor Spirits, really the first place anyone should start would be to seek communion with your Co-Walker. In ancient lore, it is said that when we are incarnated, a spirit comes to this world with us. It has gone by various names, including Guardian Angel, but I like the term Co-Walker. Some liken this spirit to their Wandering Soul or their Higher Self. While there is a bit of wiggle room so to speak, I feel the co-walker to be a separate personage than your eternal Fayerie self embodied. Think of your Fayerie Self as Frodo and your co-walker as a type of Sam Gamgee. Eternally there, helping mediate your luck experience. To begin building this relationship, begin with working on going into your Sensorium. This is an essential practice. Once you have even a modicum of success in this, you can practice something called Profane Scrying. Taking a normal mirror, and a small candle, set yourself in a darkened room. Sit or stand before the mirror. Make sure the candle is not visible by the mirror or your eye, but that there is enough light to see the basic outline of your face. Then, sit there and gently gaze in your eyes through the mirror. This will, over time, induce a light trance state. You may begin to see your facial features change and morph. You might see yourself change into horrible shapes. You might see your skin fall away. You might see nothing but a skull. DO NOT FIGHT the changes. This is natural. Eventually, your face will look "normal", except that the pupils will be gone. It will be like you are looking into an abyss. This is your Co-Walker. When you reach this state, you MUST introduce yourself. And state what your goal is. And that goal is to build a relationship with it and to have that spirit become familiar to you.
