Ramblings about my Shared Astral Temple
Apparently, astral temples, or inner temples, are not uncommon among magical practitioners. Mostly they are personal places, for individual magical peeps. But also really like the idea of shared astral temples, which I’ve seen used in a couple of systems of magic.
About two years ago, an online friend and I started creating our own temple, which we would enter and work on, and in, at least once a week. We did this for a while, just the two of us, and then more recently, I invited some new people to join our temple ritual time.
I figured, more people working with the temple makes it stronger, or develop more quickly. But also I just want to feel like I’m participating in this thing with other people, connecting on some other realm of existence. An imagined place, but still real in some sense of the word. And it is real. We created it, it exists when we think about it, or even when we’re not thinking about it.
Anyway, where was I going with this?
Well, turns out it’s kind of hard to have other people be as invested in the thing as I am. I’ve thought about opening it up for more people to join, and share our experiences online. I even started making a grimoire focused around the temple.
But there’s been personal conflicts and confusion, and I don’t even feel like I know what I’m doing most of the time.
But still, I really like my astral temple and having spirit guests in it, whether they are connected to physical human people or not. My tulpa/thoughtform now works in the astral temple, cleaning up and tending to the guests. I guess it is a kind of busy place now, even if it’s mostly on my end (and imagined, but whatever, it’s fun).

I have EXTREME brain worms with this man, and since I already talket about his lore here, I’m using his ref sheet to share facts about him!
Rambles under the cut
- He has 25% dragon blood, as his grandparent was a dragon. This manifests on black scales on his arms, and plates on his chest and shoulders. His fangs are slightly pointy, aswell as his ears. It isn't noticeable here but his eyes are slightly reptilian too
- He also inherited part of his draconid ancestry's magic, specifically an small affinity towards acid and poison. Like a dragon, he's able to produce acidic clouds from his mouth, and has some small form of manipulation over them. He uses his breath-like weapon to obscure vision and AOE, since it doesn't inflicts much damage, but was extremely useful in the past combined with the combat tactics his group used to employ. His venom is also inflammable, and can be condensed into liquids to coat his weapons with
- Since he's hiding his identity at the moment, he's disguising himself as a pyromancer. He carries ropes with him on his arms and waist and burns the extremes, so he's able to turn his breath weapon into a makeshift flamethrower
- He got his top surgery on his mid-late 20's, while on the military, and he transitioned a few years before! He's also MLM, not sure himself if gay or bi/male oriented. He just,,, likes men in general

If one were to build a World Destroying Weapon nd Disguised it as a tower as tall as the eiffel tower, would any of you be concerned for it's existence?
(Hoo boy, this is gonna need a read more because I got way too many muses.)
"What?! Why would you do that?! The logisticsssss alone would be a horrible idea!"
"Much as I might not seem like I give a shit, I would shut your ass down before you got that far."
"This is why demons don't trust Sinners down here."
"Yeah, if you did that shit, I'd be outta work, so fucking don't."
"You gotta a brain in there at all? Cause if you do, I recommend making sure you keep it from getting blown out by your stupidity."
Surge and Kit are simply glaring at the anon with murderous intent. Starline is adjusting his gloves with the same glare.
"I've already seen stuff like that. Do that, and my trauma response would be to blow you up to kingdom come." Elfilin says spear pulled.
"Ditto." Au'ra Darious says.
"The same goes for me and Draco." The Dragonborn Darious says as he and his brother look ready to fight.
"I'm a Maverick Hunter. But Maverick or not, I will stop you for the sake of the world." Axl proclaims.
"Do you really need to ask that? More than half the people on here are heroes, and the rest all have their own reasons for wanting to stop that."
