I have been off path for quite some time when it comes to my Thelemic studies. This is due to the birth of my daughter who is now 10 months old. Now that Leota is getting a little bit older I have been returning to my studies in the arena of ceremonial magick and Hermetics.
There has been a visit to Pyramid Lodge in Buffalo, New York over the past while. Then I visited a Thelema study group in Syracuse, New York a couple of weeks ago. I am beginning to get back on track. I seems like my memory is finally returning to me as I begin practising the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram once again.
On Saturday I visited a Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn lodge. Chic Cicero and his wife Sandra Tabatha Cicero were visiting Toronto. They gave some lectures. It was a most enjoyable experience. In the morning Chic discussed magick squares. I made a few notes so I can study this subject further in the future.
Tabatha discussed using tarot cards as talismans in the afternoon for her discussion. Then we had a discussion from Chic about his friendships with Grady McMurtry and Israel Regardie. It was an event which was well worth the $65.
In the upcoming future I will be taking part in a study group on Magick In Theory and Practice by Aleister Crowley.
