Thelemic and Occult-themed Art by Leanna

The fine arts have always played an important role in Western Mystery Traditions.  Recently, I came across an artist that fuses Magick, Thelema and other, more exotic themes in her work.. Her name is *--Leanna||Davidson--* (characters added by me to protect her from being "Google-ized"--a courtesy I extend to everyone).  The images containing adult-only themes are covered with a white page with a superimposed, grey "caution"-type sign.  Clicking on them reveals the pictures that lay beneath the cautionary signage.

Whenever I can, I try to share the music, writings and artistic endeavors of others that flow from their empathetic interpretations and impressions of the various areas of occult exploration.

Intro to the Abramelin: Knowldge and Conversation with one's Holy Guardian Angel

Much has been said and written about obtain "Knowledge and Conversation with one's Holy Guardian Angel," or "K&CHGA."  While I am not going to address whether or not this process puts one in touch with an actual entity or a facet of their "higher self," I plan to describe the process and other important facets of this all important working, considered to be the pinnacle of Magcikal attainment by many.  Subjugating one's Demons, both personal and not so personal is final portion of this elaborate and meticulous protocol.  "Energized Prayer,"  is a term that I feel best suits the main thrust of unification process, though it does not fully describe the entire working.  One must prepare themselves for many significant changes that occur within them during the six to eighteen month working.  Proper preparation can alleviate many possible snags one could encounter as the work progresses. It is this preparatory period with which I will continue this series of posts.  

Modern Scientific Illuminism.  It's Magick!
