Nice. I’m reading this book soon.

Would kill for ur take on it........ It's a lot... More than anything it is making me super aware of everything in my life that steps in and out of "sacred space". Today, I am thinking about how the substack feed makes writing less sacred, because people are analyzing writing too much. The Sacred and the Profane is the same - so much writing on Spirit, and then spirit feels less sacred when you close the book. I am enjoying

I’m listening the Doctrine and Ritual of High Magic by eliphas Levi and this seems like a wonderful modern counterpart. I love magic and ritual and i love your love letter to this book. I’m inspired by your mysterious golden ears and might do something at ours like that too.

the golden ears are special ….. ill tell u since we are down here…. and its quiet…. i am going to have people whisper their shameful confessions in one ear , and then the other, will be their wishes. I think it will be important for people to hear it outloud and do something funny while they do. Ill see how it goes… Gold ear is also just a good look

I am constantly editing at different thresholds of publication and its an inside joke with myself and i dont know if its good habit. Like the original email of this has a photo of jerry seinfeld in it I think. Idk if its a whim i should follow but here we are

Megan H.'s avatar

yes to jerry photo - which I failed to notice was missing… follow all your whims because it helps remind (me) us to do the same. thank you gabi 🏅⛲️🖐🏻

After 4 years trying on sign offs, I landed on “Yours,” — feels the most raw. I like yours📿❤️
