Greetings fellow travelers!

I recently finished a fairly large batch of Oil of Abramelin that I am pretty pleased with. Thought I would share some pictures of the yield and process. I did several cycles lasting a little over a fortnight.

I used a more traditional method of heated extraction this time instead of the Crowley essential oil method. I have made the essential oil version in the past, but as I have been deep in my alchemical studies this unfamiliar approach seemed like an appropriate choice for this batch.

The result is not quite as strong smelling as the essential oil version, but it also doesn't seem to stain quite like the oil of that method. We'll see over time, as it does tend to darken with age from my experience.

Feel free to ask questions. I'm not selling anything, just a dude doing some Work.

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.

Love is the law, love under will.

Here's the result after a few pages working with the feedback from ya'll.

I dropped trying to do the shadow, tried sticking with straights, avoided Z's, and changed to TAO instead of JAZZ.

What do you think? I'm really digging the negative space formation with these three letters.

Always up for feedback. The more specific the better.

Thanks for your time.

DAPR.

Drew this over a few months ago 2025 without planning it too much.

Each shape is tied to something specific, but I didn’t write any of it down.

It’s supposed to attract financial flow, but I feel like I might’ve missed something in the process.

Curious what others see in it

PS: I won’t explain what each part means.

Very first attempts at a throwie.

I've mostly been practicing line control, consistency, fonts and hand style.

I think the Z's could be a tad thicker for balance on the first picture.

Second pic is from my black book exploring different ideas.

Worked through a few more tutorials yesterday.

Let me know what you think, always down for tips and feedback!

Thanks for your time.

Practice from this weekend.

I have been practicing Times New Roman as well as just real basic font like the one printed on a Mac keyboard.

I feel like I'm making progress in terms of alignment and consistency.

I guess my main question is how is my hand style coming along? Am I on the right track at least?

Always appreciative of feedback, thanks for your time.

Okay. What up my witches?

So, my mom is being a total cow and says I need to clean my second bedroom. (Don't worry, this isn't the room where I keep my turtles, that room is immaculate.)

So, I just can't bring myself to do it because other people use the room too and I don't think it's fair that I should have to clean up anything from anyone else, even if the mess is mostly mine, I didn't leave that bread in there because I'm not gluten free but I always tell people I'm gluten free, so why would I have bread? Duh.

Anyway, I decided to work some chaos magick and I figured I would make the gnomes clean up the mess. So I got all the gnomes from the garden and I made a magick circle and I even turned on a Lowe's commercial that just plays over and over again on repeat. I figured this would be helpful because if they need tools or cleaning supplies they will see the Lowe's commercial and know where to go to get what they need. I even put out some of my Magic the Gathering cards so that there was more magic in the room.

So like, how long does it take for the gnomes to start actually doing shit? Do I need to prod them with my wand or something? Like some kind of gnome poking stick? I gave them an offering of Mass Effect: Andromeda to encourage them to do stuff, but still nothing. It's been two weeks, when do the gnomes clock in?

I have been practicing and trying to keep my letters basic.

I'm vibing with BEBOP, HOBO, TAO but am playing with other stuff.

I'll probably get called a toy, but I'm stoked for feedback. I have checked out a couple of the lettering bootcamps and some other resources. I've also been just checking out people's alphabets.

What should I work on?
