Some thoughts on hidden knowledge

I am the daughter and the granddaughter of pilots.

Back in the day (I don’t know about now), they were taught to navigate the same way ancient seafearers were- by the stars. So I was very little when my dad taught me about how to differentiate between planets and stars in the night sky (planets don’t twinkle), and the names of various constellations. It began a life-long love affair with these mysterious elements.

When we begin to learn a magickal or esoteric art, we acquire most of our knowledge through meditation. We might focus on a sepiroth, a chakra, a Tarot card- or simply have the symbols around us so that we absorb much of their subtelties through our daily life.

However, if you want to learn astrology, the best thing you can do is get under the night sky and breathe the stars and planets into you like opium smoke. I will see you there, maybe on a sports field at midnight- or out in the mountains where they crowd so densely and shine so brightly that the mind is scrubbed clean for weeks…
