Siin<p>So, I might pop in from time to time after all as things get going. I appreciate your patience as I navigate all of this: there are a lot of things on my mind related to the way I'd like to live and the reality of how I should live right now given the choices available. </p><p>But enough of that for now. The first newsletter has been sent out to members, and I'd like to share it here as well for anyone interested to read. </p><p>"A Treatise on Ascendent Ritual"</p><p>This work is participatory. It is demanding of discipline, of belief, of preparation. It highlights shortcomings, shortcuts, and insecurity. The results you achieve are based on the effort you put in: in knowing thyself, in forging the thought patterns that work towards your will, in curating mindfulness and careful attentiveness. This is magick: this is what makes it real.</p><p>There is an industry, a very profitable one, that would like you to believe that magick just happens for a price. That if only you pay the right price, you can bypass the work of magick. They frame the inner work required as healing, but false healing: healing that doesn’t require you to look inward too deeply, healing that looks like lush palm trees and swimming pools and sound baths, healing that comes automatically from hearing the right frequency, taking the right substance, or buying the right clothing. There are practitioners that will take your money and tell you that all you need to do to manifest prosperity is to buy their book, their workshop, their jewelry, their incense, their candles. To outsource your power to them. Their will is not teaching or guidance, because they are the new priesthood: interpreting energy and doctrine for you in the ways that benefit them.</p><p><a href="https://sigillosacro.com/this-kind-of-work-is-earned/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">sigillosacro.com/this-kind-of-</span><span class="invisible">work-is-earned/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/Ghost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ghost</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/Magick" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Magick</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/Witchcraft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Witchcraft</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/Pagan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pagan</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/FediCoven" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FediCoven</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/Occult" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Occult</span></a></p>
