I recently purchased the book used and it's looong. I just saw that it's considered unfinished because the author passed before it was complete. I'm scared to look up much about the book in case I see spoilers.
If the book truly is incomplete, do you think it's still worth reading? It's a long one, so I'm wondering if it's worth the time investment or not. Thanks.
I'm about halfway through Middlemarch, halfway through LotR Fellowship of the Ring, and 1/3 of the way through The Enchanted April. I've lost momentum with all of them.
I'm not sure if I'm in a reading slump and need to put these aside and pick up something else for a while, or if I'm struggling to read now and need to focus on other hobbies.
Either way, any suggestions for classics that you feel would really hook me in? I have an extensive physical TBR to choose from, and will buy something suggested if I don't have it.
Recent 5 Star reads have been Anna Karenina, Mrs. Dalloway, I Who Have Never Known Men, The Passion According to G.H, Agua Viva, and Notes from Underground.
I'm in my second year of practicing the craft and at first I would completely deplete my own energy and always feel exhausted after a working.
Now, I've gotten great at drawing energy up, so much so that I'm always lightheaded and even a little dizzy after workings.
Any tricks for re-grounding this called up energy? I try visualization the same way I do for calling it up, but some still lingers with me and it's intense! If I can run outside to my favorite tree it dissipates right away. But I'm not always able to do this
I've asked a similar question in the past but I think I may have described it poorly, so I'm here to try again.
Is there a specific type of practice where spellwork is done purely on paper? I'm thinking taglock info/bio material, color correspondences, written intention or sigil, maybe even herbs taped, glued, or infused into the paper, and then charging it up and either folding it into a little bundle to keep on your person, or dedicating an entire journal to this purpose?
I don't just mean writing a petition on a scrap of paper and burning it. I mean the kind of magic where all you need is yourself, something to write with, and a piece of paper that you can pour your energy into and keep with you for as long as you want the spellwork to stay active. Like a charm bag, but just a piece of paper.
I know some people do spellwork through junk journaling, but that's not what I'm getting at here. Simpler than that.
I'd love if this was an established practice with a specific name that I could research further. I will be trying this out myself regardless, but am interested to see if others practice this way.
