Some months ago I wrote an entry about why it was important for me to run: fitness and meditation – both, which play into my mental, physical and spiritual well-being. I am not a health freak by any stretch, and there’s a lot I could do better. But on a very basic level, I believe that [...]

I was fascinated by a series of photos (from Danish newspaper, Politiken) that I want to share: These are Spanish Catholic lodges (no Masonic relation), who celebrate Easter in a Good Friday procession wearing hooded robes and carrying candles. The sample below is from Zamora in Northern Spain, where the members of Santisimo Cristo de [...]

I have been interested in Tarot for a long time, but in recent years I have kicked it up a notch when I joined BOTA, Builders of the Adytum. As it happened, I was recently given the opportunity to further expand my studies as Bro JMD developed a PDF-course focussing on the Jean Noblet Tarot [...]

(Well, I missed the planned second part of this series, but I’ll get around to that one sooner or later.)
Yesterday I had the tatoo done, and it was a good experience. I had communicated with the artist, Gordon, but I hadn’t actually seen any artwork, so that was pretty exciting. When I saw the illustration [...]

Last night I had my first experience with lucid dreaming, something that I had been wanting to try since watching Richard Linklaters groovy animated feature, Waking Life.

Last year I decided to pick up a correspondence course based on Tarot, a “society” created by Paul Foster Case, called BOTA, Builders of the Adytum. You basically pay a monthly fee to subscribe to a series of lessons, a few pages of text per week; you can pause at any time and pick [...]
