Hi all! Another great session of Lodge and more things of interest to note. I was actually recovering from food poisoning today and admittedly feeling very depleted, but I wanted to show up for Lodge today anyway and see if the magic could meet me at my level, and it did. My experience with Chokmah was not as strong as my experience with Keter, probably due to feeling poorly, but no less interesting.

While meditating I could see a massive beacon of energy barreling downwards, like a thick pillar of light, and on the outmost layer of the pillar energy seemed to spiral. The part that seemed a little funny to me afterwards but intriguing in the moment was that once this pillar crashed down into the earth, I could see a vision of a bowling ball hitting the alley floor and rolling forward with force. The sound of the impact was particularly important, and reminded me of a thunder crash accompanying a lighting bolt, which seemed appropriate for the Lightning Flash. I suppose we’re really getting the ball rolling now 😛

Hi Stephanie! Thanks for sharing your research. It’s so interesting how perceived corruption or aspects which naturally disgust us can actually transform into beauty or substances of merit, just as individuals who are struggling with vices can overcome them and find peace. There’s always light to be found in darkness.

I’ve never smelled Storax, I’d be interested in hearing your take on it when we get there! Excited to be exploring the Spheres alongside you.

Edit: Realized I made a separate post instead of replying, forgive me, it’s been years since I was on an actual forum!

I’ve been lucky enough to get vivid images most of my life, especially coming into contact with different spirits, and it’s an ability I’m looking to hone even further over time. I think it could be very useful!

And thanks, I’m doing better, and will hopefully be at 100% again for this coming weekend 🙂 Hope you have an amazing rest of your week!

That’s a great way to see it! I’m glad to be welcomed.

Well done on finding the recipe! I hope it turns out well! And condolences to you for your gluten intolerance too. We are sisters in food issues 😂<3

Wow Paula, what a great message to receive! And very apt for us gathered as a Lodge and community. Please share the results of your spiral bread making! I’ve been living gluten free for about a year and a half due to an intolerance and boy do I miss good, real bread. Simple things like that really do become sacred when you lose access to them.

In my moment with Keter, I saw white light, and I felt a sense of peace and freedom from everything more than I’ve ever felt before. I’ve been thinking about it since and how to get closer to that feeling and to not worry about everything so much. Additionally, when we were tracing spirals over the Aces, it seemed to me as if the imagery on the cards came to life and expanded, as if I could see into them. Brought me to tears! But many things I’ve experienced so far with 22 Teachings have done that. Constantly in awe and amazed by what is possible to experience. Looking forward to the many journeys ahead and knowledge to gain here over the years. Also when Naha was talking about the future of the Lodge, my High Priestess card jumped a little on my desk. Great sign for the future!
