I'm not fond of purely mental exercises at all, but they do seem to work pretty well.<br /><br />IIH is one of those books that I never seem to get around to getting. Either I lack funds, or my pendulum tells me to get something else instead.<br /><br />Remember, in Neoplatonic thought the archangels are like your family. They're looking out for ya. :)The Unlikely Magehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17240640320016617550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5819133491755111466.post-57654652629734971602011-07-22T09:10:28.562-04:002011-07-22T09:10:28.562-04:00@Polyphanes - True, and I found it interesting tha...@Polyphanes - True, and I found it interesting that he mentioned it might not be as long as I think. For that reason, I'm going to do some activities to help foster positive "fire" in my personality using the meditation I mentioned in the post, as well as stuff from "Initiation Into Hermetics", "The New Hermetics", and such.<br /><br />Admittedly, part of my disappointment was not being able to do the initiations in the order I wanted, but I'm going to let that go and keep things a bit loose!<br /><br />@Mr. Black - I actually went through the process of creating the Black & White Mirrors of the Soul a couple years ago. I need to go back, look over them, and update them where needed.<br /><br />In fact, I think I will indeed do that. Once I get that done, I'm going to work on balancing things out, especially with fire. And I'll be consulting my copy of IIH soon. ;)Ocean Delanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09015988243103173794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5819133491755111466.post-71860768818060965902011-07-22T01:27:43.388-04:002011-07-22T01:27:43.388-04:00and this is why FB "Initiation to Hermetics&q...and this is why FB "Initiation to Hermetics" is the most complete piece of magick instructional manual i've ever seen, elemental balancing is on the very first chapters of his book.<br /><br />at least R was nice enough to let you know where to go.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17965336534777156741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5819133491755111466.post-91313650965216716662011-07-21T23:16:40.661-04:002011-07-21T23:16:40.661-04:00Well, not like you can force the issue, but at lea...Well, not like you can force the issue, but at least Raphael's looking out for you.
