as an ex-catholic who thinks that the concept of (a monotheistic) god is irrelevant, i find it hilarious that i am now reading a grimoire by a guy who points out that his wisdom can only be acted on by people who, in short, do magic out of belief and love in god.

new---proust questionnaire, and updates to commonplace and diary. i am becoming lost. off to work...
the grimoire in question is the dehn & guth translation of "the book of abramelin." very easy to read (so far), even if practicing it may be nigh impossible for one such as i. i'm interested in playing with some of the underlying concepts---in an abstract sense, one could see adonai as the fundamental nature/energy of the universe, & the holy guardian angel as how individuals interact with energy. unrefined idea tho.
needless to say, with each passing day, my life makes increasingly less sense.
