*Path of the Faery Seer: The Apprenticeship Series: Module II
Ancestral Voices: Working with the Spirits of the Dead in Faery Seership*

A Intimate Weekend Intensive with Orion Foxwood
[...] This workshop will deal with the necromantic aspects of Faery Seership and how we can work with “our spiritual next of kin.” Our work
will focus on ancestral reverence, redemption, partnerships, folk practices, death-bed midwifery, blood voices and other aspects of this branch of the work including:

The River of Blood and the Cave of Voices
Building the Ancestral Shrine
Souls in pain and the power of redemption
The Door of Parentage
The Gate of Remembrance
The awakening of the blood
The Opening of the Way Rite for Transitioning Work
Faery and Ancestral relationships
The role of the beloved dead in inner world contact and work
Soil as the providence of the dead
The role of the Faery in birth and death transition
Ancestral contacts of the future and past
Ancestral dead and the power of place
Death as a spiritual intelligence



Man, I wish Orion would start a new cycle of this series up here in the Bay area. (Actually, I might theoretically have been willing to go to SoCal if I could have planned for it and if this were the first module in the series.)

Great googly moogly. Someone apparently sold a copy of the Azoëtia to Weiser Antiquarian, because here it is in their latest catalogue: Read more... )

Didja get the number of that donkey cart? $2250. Now, that's not the one I have; the so-called "Sethos edition" was actually published in several forms in 2002 and 2003. This copy on offer is of the last, the black "Sethos-Behena", and what I have is the "Deluxe" of the 2002 editions (no picture on the page there, but it looks similar to the "Standard" except for the quarter-binding in cream-coloured leather). I have no idea if mine is more or less valuable than the "Sethos-Behena", and I'm sure Weiser paid less for it than they're turning around and selling it for, but geez. (I should probably point out that when I bought it at release I recall paying a couple hundred dollars for it.)

From the plutonica.net blog, this sounds interesting:

Over at Rune Soup Gordon introduced a book game with the following guidelines:

How would you introduce someone to magic using only books? He or she has a month in a lake house and will read whatever you tell them in the exact order that you tell them to. Not even any peeking at other books on the list.


I'll have to think about my own response, but in the meantime I'm interested in yours. Feel free to exapnd a bit from "magic" per se into your personal spiritual path or whatever. (Note that the books certainly need not strictly be on such topics; Psyche's take started out with Baudelaire.)

This post isn't complete, but I'm going to throw it out there anyway as it seems (three months later) that I'm unlikely ever to do so, and I'd rather not have no record whatsoever in my journal (as I do of 2009). Read more... )


Additional:

Does anyone out there happen to knowBasalt? (a large gentleman with a beard; I believe an Asatruar -- I know, I know, really helpful description) He was at the Scotch tasting and somewhen at the absinthe suite, and was talking with [livejournal.com profile] enotsola about maybe getting him work, but [livejournal.com profile] enotsola failed to get his email address.
