When I make a talisman of any kind, I want it to be a gate, a portal to the spirit, an access point to this realm, an interface.Rufus Opushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10806987441760167537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25882546.post-52652831495619979012011-07-17T14:12:33.558-04:002011-07-17T14:12:33.558-04:00I've recently been reading about painting [ort...I've recently been reading about painting [orthodox] icons, and it seemed to have some resonance with what you've posted here. The importance of getting in touch with the saint or angel being painted so that it's truly a window, and not just a painting; the fact that it's a link to the spiritual world, etc.<br />Do you have any thoughts?Michael S.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25882546.post-27548603817980102272011-07-14T15:42:20.246-04:002011-07-14T15:42:20.246-04:00"By giving a spirit a physical manifestation ..."By giving a spirit a physical manifestation point in your life, you're granting it your authority to change your manifest reality. You're giving it more power too, because now it has a foothold in your world. It's a really potent way to bring a spirit's influence into your life, and it guarantees that you will experience the forces the spirit represents first hand."<br /><br />I love you, RO. love, love, love you.

I first found Head For The Red when you were working on the Bune pot and it was my all time favorite series of yours, except of course for the Neo-Platonic Basics. The essay I just wrote for Hadean's Conjure Codex has a section on a spirit pot I made for Semjaza.M.C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07684336826610460278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25882546.post-56056544162756299972011-07-14T07:24:35.116-04:002011-07-14T07:24:35.116-04:00Dude!

And an appropriately poetic ending to that whole story. I'm almost inspired to write a short story about the poor slob who stole it. Yikes! Can you even imagine?<br /><br />Another killer posting; deceptively rich in information and leavened by you unique rogue-ish humor.

There's nothing wrong with having a spirit pot for them. Of course you wouldn't be trapping them. They would still be everywhere all at once in the way they are before the spirit pot is made. You would simply have a stronger link to them in your personal world.Rufus Opushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10806987441760167537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25882546.post-26362370895392551202011-07-13T20:46:53.510-04:002011-07-13T20:46:53.510-04:00So, I have a question.

What I mean is, I'd feel a bit silly asking someone as high on the spiritual food chain as Cassiel or another archangel to inhabit a spirit pot. Am I just being slow, or would you aim for something on the level of a familiar spirit like the kind the planetary archangels can give?<br /><br />Also, my apologies if my English is a bit off.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25882546.post-88673130526084498112011-07-13T19:52:34.905-04:002011-07-13T19:52:34.905-04:00One of your best posts, thanks, fraterOne of your best posts, thanks, frateryuzuruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13690259763179863019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25882546.post-79623263534841640492011-07-13T19:17:27.445-04:002011-07-13T19:17:27.445-04:00Awesome post, man.
