basics again

sorta going back to basics again if only for my sake. am i going toward something of nourishment like the mother or am i fleeing a danger (like the mother in modern applications :)?

its those first 2 systems whether we deal through RAW or Angel Tech. The first is the Freudian mother complex and the second the father complex. The third of course is the conceptual, the map making, or the time altering. These first 2 are so crucial as to our relationship with ourselves; that is how we mother and nurture ourselves and then our relationships with the world around us, with the wider community.

I tend to think of who i was in the neighbourhood growing up and how much that person is a part of my identity. In astrology it is the 3rd House. the neighourhood. Mine is ruled by Leo, by the sun. The style in which i approach my community is as king, leader. I have that precocious little boy who doesn't acknowledge rightful authority, he is the little boy i approach the world as. That is 2nd system.... How do i shit on the world? How do I leave my mark? Tying it in with the astrological model, it seems i think my shit don't stink. It is my right as ruler to shit around the community, the neighbourhood, the school yard, the class room. All these places are 3rd house.

I excel in my place of learning. Leo children are good learners. The 2nd system for me is one i was imprinted by my father and my father is a very strong dour, stoic, solid man. And very much a man i was imprinted by. Not someone with a dominant boyish side. A gemini sun he is, which is my first house... maybe rules my first system in how i mother and nurture myself. I am seeing that i was built to survive but that is how i see it as i am seeing me and i know how to make me work.

Leo and gemini in sextile tends to work and then I start seeing the map as i put the relationship up that the two archetypes share with one another. the map making or the time bending and that to some extent come in to the 3rd House on an astrological chart. Of course astrology is a high school thing in Angel Tech. I believe it is 7th grade.

Astrology is a great map making system and naturally occurs as an octive above the third gear or grade. That is map making or tool making. Containing and using time to make our constructs.

So if I go from nurturing myself, to how do i get on with the others, then i go to what am i building and how am i building or creating. Building is a more capricorn word and create a more leo word

direction

I like the direction our posts are taking. Looking at solid cultures like indiginous Australian, German (Saxon, Goths, Vandals), or as we go to Native American, Kahuna...

These sort of things fit in to the mapping part of the circuits, that is the 3rd circuit or grade. The magick systems of each fit into 5th-8th grades

I mustn't forget either that each circuit has thing occurring which either draw me in to safety or make me run away from it outward...That 1 st circuit or oral circuit suggests that wego forward with our mouths to taste something infront or we are repelled not wishing to join our mouths with that in our realm.

It will be interesting to see where we go with this now. I like the fact that the sigils and magickal aspects were mentioned and maybe chaos magick using the 8 circuit model is ready to take another step forward.

I think of a bit of this sort of stuff for the creation of wealth. I like collecting symbols and facets of the illusion. I find that Napoleon Hill describes the methodology for the creation of wealth very clearly in his book Think and Grow Rich and having the material resources to do our work is a very basic Tradition in the 12 step programs.

Shamanism across cultures.

Today I stopped to whatch a video in the NGV (National Gallery of Victoria) on an aboriginal artist who paints on bark. What I found most interesting is firstly he was speaking in a tribal tongue and secondly that the language when translated had words that were equivelent to supernatural and magic.This paiting on bark is very magical, in fact the artist can see supernatural movements and images - divination through his art work.

What a shame there is so little around about the hertitage and the magic of this culture. hmmmm....

Anyways my heritage is german and that has prompted my current studying of germanic runelore and magic. This is a very intriging subject perhaps most interesting is the psychology developed by the ancient vikings/northern europe cultures. They have what can be describe as a complete system for soul development and work. Germanic culture is very aggressive and battle oriented and it integrates and embraces the animalistic part of ourselves.

Im quite sure 8-C's can be contrast agaisnt this, im just trying to work out how exactly and some exercises to help one gain access to some of the soul/runelore's power (a mysterious sort of power almost zen like but with a dark side) . I think theres almost a book in it.....nonetheless I plan to write my first proper article around this subject and it will be coming soon. The next one might a translation of Aboriginal shamanism into the 8-c's as well, so many things to do and so little time.
