I agree whole haertedly with so much of this! I'm constantly teaching my students, finessed basics make for advanced practitioners. Spirit and energy seem to often give you an advancement of a basic if you play with it for long enough.
The other beauty I find is when you do a basic practice enough that it can eventually become a subconscious action like breathing. This I feel is what makes ritual really magical.
Stoked to be hearing how the talisman set has found it's home in your life so smoothly and made an impact.
This was very beautiful, Gordon. Humble, devoted, intelligently executed work in service of something bigger than ourselves is exactly what the world needs right now... and has always needed. Thank you for all you do, your marvelous (and magnanimously affordable) classes and interesting reflections. Manna from Heaven!
