Dyed the panels of Chapel Perilous, the chaos magick temple for #operationoctarine They came out with some wonderful textures from the dyeing process. I wish I had time to scry with them, but had to pack it in before it stormed. #chaosky #chaosmagick

We have dubbed them "Mater" on account of all the tomatoes they've been eating. Mater is really cute and we can't actually keep up with the number of tomatoes we're getting this year!

Plotting these paths on the twelve sphere tree of Emanant Void Magick to show the crossing of Devil and Star. The other paths don't appear to reinforce any clear association...

Marjorie Cameron, what were you exploring here? The double loop like Crowley's swap of Star and Emperor, but no mention of Emperor? We have 12 major arcana, but not the ones normally associated to the zodiac? Is this hinting at Devil on the middle pilar and star as a cross path? #tarot #thelema

17 on left an 13 on right connected by Star. "Breton often signed his initials AB in such a manner that they could also be read as 1713. Three brief notes in his neat handwriting discuss other instances of 1713, strengthing the symbolic weight of those numbers..." - Surrealism and the Tarot p.39

A magical moment from Chicago this weekend. Found this dirty cicada nymph crawling across the sidewalk and helped it up onto a tree.

Yep! I got the color panels figured out. I need to finish six more like this and dye them for the colors of chaos magick for the temple at #operationoctarine. The eighth side, for octarine itself, will be the entrance. #chaosky

First question I get, "What are you building over there?" A chaos magick temple for the Operation Octarine festival in Indiana this September. Next question I get, "How are you going to get it there?" In my truck somehow 😅

The chaos magick temple for #operationoctarine, Chapel Perilous, is coming together. The central pillar is a hollow chimney. Sigils may be written publicly upon its surface or slipped between the boards to rest inside. Next comes the base, shelf, and crown. #chaosky #chaosmagic

Another animal from this morning. The bear population around here is actually kinda out of control. This was in the bank parking lot in broad daylight. Cars and people all out.

Surrealist sigil working: Misindirection. Stay engaged in your work. It will keep you sufficiently distracted that your real work may be accomplished. #surrealist #chaosky
