Art Meditation for the Full Moon

This is a fusion of techniques for connecting with hidden wisdom that I learned in workshops with the writers Elena Georgiou and Selah Saterstrom and the artist Jamie Ridler.

Process:

* Gather a magazine, pens, glue stick, two pieces of paper (or a piece of paper you don’t mind cutting up and an art journal), scissors, and a timer.

* Set an intention: While making this piece I will meditate on… The Full Moon or the sign of Cancer or my feelings or what I’m ready to release…  

* Set a timer for 5 minutes and quickly tear images that stick out to you out of the magazine. Don’t think about the aesthetic or how they will fit together or what your choices say about you. Trust your intuition and choose.  

* Glue the images you collected into a collage on a piece of paper or your art journal. Don’t think.

* Set the collage aside, preferably somewhere you can’t look at it, and set a timer for 5 minutes. On a piece of paper you don’t mind cutting up, write the first things that come to mind about the subject of your meditation. Don’t think. Just write.

* Read what you’ve written and cut out pieces of what you’ve written that stick out to you and glue them onto the collage. 

* Look at what you’ve made. What is your soul trying to tell you?

Recently I've been doing a deep dive into red flags that one may run into while in occult spaces. It's best to be educated so that in the instance you come across one of these red flags, you know when take the information you're receiving with a grain of salt. The following is a list of some red flags I've come across in my time as a Pagan. Some are pretty obvious, others not so much.

• Claiming St. Peter's cross is Satanic, or that Ankh is Christian

• Thelema, Aleister Crowley, or Magic with a K

• "Qabala" rather than actual Kabbalah

• Talking about Atlantis as if it's real

• Saying "real Satanists" don't believe in Satan or refusing to acknowledge the difference between theist and non-theist Satanists

•Claiming a crystal, incense, oil, herb or whatever else can be used in place of medicine

• The use of lightning bolt symbols, the Black Sun, etc

• Saying aliens built the Egyptian pyramids or that humans bred with aliens

• Saying the Illuminati controls everything or talks of a "New World Order"

• Weird fear-mongering or out-there conspiracies about Freemasonry

• Vaguely alluding to an all-powerful group that's only ever referred to as "the elites" or "they"

• Doing closed practices they aren't apart of

• Refusing to cite sources, or if they do cite sources, it's a TikTok or something

• Referring to ANYTHING the Nazis did

• Tribal tattoos from a tribe one isn't apart of

• Claiming they'll provide you forbidden knowledge or that if you follow their way of life you'll reach God or whatever

• Any mention of Aryans or some superior race in a non-critical/historical explanatory context

• Joy of Satan or The Order of Nine Angels

• Claiming "you were meant to see this video!" when it's a video that is showed to hundreds (or thousands) of people based on an algorithm

• Gatekeeping practices, worship, tools, etc, from a sex. IE, "only women can do this spell!"

• Recommending any work from scammers (ex: Joe Dispenza)

• Discouraging learning the history of a practice

• Claiming deities from different pantheons are the exact same. (Ex: Aphrodite and Venus)

• Using AI in place of real art, imagery, people, etc. (Seriously, I've seen shops on Etsy try to sell me tarot readings with a photo of an AI generated old lady claiming to do the readings, marketing it as if it's a real person.)

If you have ANYTHING else to add, please feel free to do so.

* I'd also like to add that these bullet points are not ranked at all and in no way am I comparing any of the things on this list. It is just a list. + Many of the things on this list are nuanced. And everything has exceptions.

the only reason why ten year old girls are destroying stupidly overpriced products at sephora to make “skincare smoothies” is because they aren’t being given access to a yard with a variety of mud, sticks, rocks, puddles, and old ceramic planters to make potions in. the children yearn for the apothecary
