#readings

I briefly mentioned this before but this is the new page of offerings -- you can also view them on my website. Let me make you something powerful for your altar, craft you a sigil to work into your practice! I'm also offering readings: Dreams are incredible tools for magical work. We literally experience our astral body in dreams, and when we learn to ask for specific answers they often reveal themselves to us. Even when we don't ask, sometimes something particularly important nags at us through recurring dreams or recurring motifs in dreams: a figure that keeps showing up, a sensation, people from our past. If you'd like to get into something that's been coming up for you, feel free to book a reading and I'd love to dive deeper into how to disentangle these threads. Likewise, sometimes certain symbols come up again and again, and you might waver between how to engage with it. I'd love to hold space for that kind of weaving as well. If any of this resonates or feels needed in your life, please feel free to reach out. I'd be happy to offer any of this on a "pay what you can" basis. Ultimately, these offerings are as a result of needing income to keep ourselves going and normally I'd like to offer them for free, period, and have for some of you who continue exchange with me frequently. However, for those of you who can afford to, I would love to offer them in commerce for the time being with hopes that eventually I can return to a purely organic mode of Practice and knowledge sharing. #Dreams #Pagan #Witchcraft #Readings #Psychism #Occult

🇫🇷 L'homme en rouge de Julian Barnes Partant du portrait de Samuel Pozzi, célèbre gynécologue et chirurgien français de la "belle époque", peint par Sargent en 1881, Julian Barnes offre un livre dense qui présente la vie parisienne de la fin du XIXème siècle jusqu'à la grande guerre. Outre le Comte de Montesquiou, un homosexuel notoire et un des nombreux dandys, qui caractérisent l'époque qui est es omniprésent, on croise pêle-mêle Sarah Bernhardt, Flaubert, Daudet, Wilde, ... pour n'en citer que quelques-uns... Ce n'est pas un roman mais plutôt une série de petits articles (il n'y a pas de chapitres ni de sous-titres) qui relatent des aspects de la vie de la "bonne" société à Paris à cette époque. C'est une lecture qui m'a paru par moment assez ardue du fait qu'il n'y a pas vraiment de structure mais qui est intéressante malgré tout. Samuel Pozzi est ce qu'on appelle un "Don Juan" et n'inspire ni sympathie, ni antipathie... En fait, il m'a laissé assez indifférent pour dire la vérité. Une lecture à réserver à ceux que l'époque intéresse, époque qui n'avait pas grand chose de "belle" d'ailleurs, contrairement au nom donné à cette période de l'histoire de France. C'est quand même à cette période qu'a lieu l'affaire Dreyfus, les assassinats de Jaurès et de Carnot. L'ouvrage est illustré de nombreuses reproductions de chromos "Félix Potin" que l'on trouvait dans les tablettes de chocolat et aussi de la reproduction de quelques tableaux présentant de quelques uns de ces personnages rencontrés au fil des pages. 🇬🇧 The Man in the red Coat by Julian Barnes Starting from the portrait of Samuel Pozzi, famous French gynecologist and surgeon of the "belle époque", painted by Sargent in 1881, Julian Barnes offers a dense book which presents Parisian life from the end of the 19th century until the Great War. Besides Pozzi, we meet a large gallery of personalities from those years and among them the Comte of Montesquiou, a notorious homosexual and a real dandy, like the many we could have meet then. Sarah Bernhardt, Flaubert, Daudet, Wilde, ... to name just a few... are also present in the book. The Man in the red Coat is not a novel, nor a biography but a small articles (there are no chapters or subtitles) which relate aspects of the life of "good" society in Paris at that time. I must admit, I had some difficulties sometimes to get into the book for that reason. Nevertheless, it is an interesting reading for readers interested in art, science and history. Samuel Pozzi is what we call a "Don Juan" and inspired me neither sympathy nor antipathy... In fact, he left me indifferent indeed. A portrait of a era in Paris, called the "Belle époque", which is already funny to call it "belle" as during this period, the Dreyfus affair took place as the assassination of Jaurès and President Carnot. The work is illustrated with numerous reproductions of the "Félix Potin" images that could be found in chocolate bars and also with the reproduction of some paintings presenting some of the characters encountered throughout the pages. #mardiLecture #Lectures #Readings
