“Words are, in my not-so-humble opinion, our most inexhaustible source of magic. Capable of both inflicting injury, and remedying it.” ~Albus Dumbledore Words are Spells - We cast spells over the world by spelling words into existence – What spell are we casting? What are we broadcasting? Are we being held spellbound – Caught in the hex web of accursed conjurations - Beguiled by societal grimoires - Seduced - Hypnotized – Entranced..? Words are riddles - not authoritative catch phrases. Words have power -The Power of Intent – Voiced thru the influence of Sound Vibration – Inscribed thru symbolism & metaphor - It is how we share ideas, how we communicate, how we affect & inspire change in ourselves & others. What will we Pronounce? The Magical Essence of Words can become Words of Power, when we speak Truth to power – When we pronounce the God Names, conjuring orisons of Blessings. We can use the Law of Attraction in the Practical Application of Word Magic - to Manifest a sovereign reality - To bespeak Healing. Each word is a mysterious incarnation of the Logos - The Word - which is ever in-forming our Universe. The outward form of words can conceal or reveal The Logos. The Logos is a title of The Christ - as the preeminent expression - The spiritually transcendent thought of the Godhead realized - The living reality of the infinite. The Logos reveals itself thru Love. Only a Lover can justly enter, interact & announce this all-inclusive Mystery. To know Love is to Understand – To Understand, we need to go under - To look under the glamor - To invoke the Wisdom to lift the spell. When we stand under, we can realize the essence standing behind the spell. “Wherever you are and whatever you do, be in love.” ~Rumi. Love doesn’t do battle; it cultivates connections, forms bonds. If love is not the ultimate message, then words become a babel, confusing communication. Words reveal the Logos only to the ones who can stay in Love. Can the world become our Love Poem? - (from the Gk - poesis = ‘to make’) ''Poetry heals the wounds inflicted by reason.'' ~ Novalis ~hag
18 February 2025 – “Speaking with the Stars” ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY (4 interesting Deathdays)
1535 – Deathday of Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa, German magician, astrologer, & theologian. “ In Agrippa’s time one found, it is true, little comprehension of the “natural magic” which he advocated, and which seeks in nature the natural, and the spiritual only in the spirit; men clung to the “supernatural magic” which seeks the spiritual in the realm of the sensory, and against which Agrippa fought. This is why the Abbot Trithemius of Sponheim advised him to communicate his views as a secret doctrine only to a few chosen ones, who were able to rise to a similar conception of nature and spirit, for “one gives only hay to oxen and not sugar, as to songbirds.” It is perhaps to this abbot that Agrippa himself owes the right point of view.” ~ Mysticism at the Dawn of the Modern Age, by Rudolf Steiner
1546 – Deathday of Martin Luther, German priest & theologian, leader of the Protestant Reformation. A piece of paper was later found on which Luther had written his last statement. The statement was in Latin, apart from “We are beggars,” which was in German. The statement reads: No one can understand Virgil’s Bucolics unless he has been a shepherd for five years. No one can understand Virgil’s Georgics, unless he has been a farmer for five years. No one can understand Cicero’s Letters (or so I teach), unless he has busied himself in the affairs of some prominent state for twenty years. Know that no one can have indulged in the Holy Writers sufficiently, unless he has governed churches for a hundred years with the prophets, such as Elijah and Elisha, John the Baptist, Christ and the apostles. Do not assail this divine Aeneid; nay, rather prostrate revere the ground that it treads. We are beggars: this is true.
1564 – Deathday of Michelangelo, Italian sculptor & painter. “In Michelangelo we have a spirit who helped human evolution on its way because he had a maturity of soul which enabled him to imprint on the world of space and matter significant facts from the spiritual world. He stood wholly in the great current of his times yet his own inmost quality was not fully understood. A friend once wrote to him that even the Pope feared him; and yet in his soul there lived all the greatness of Christian impulses which flowed into his work. While he felt himself at one with the great Christian impulses he yet lived at the dawn of a later epoch — closely though it was still connected with earlier ages. The content of older Christian impulses still affected his soul and out of that he created something which in its form and artistic method was already part of the ties in which we ourselves live. Hence comes the mood of the poem which he wrote — probably during his last days as he looked back over his life — and which makes it clear what our relation is to him, and how we should allow his influence over us to work: Now hath my life across a stormy sea Now know I well how that fond phantasy, Those amorous thoughts which were so lightly dressed Painting nor sculpture now can lull to rest
1967 – Deathday of J. Robert Oppenheimer, American physicist & academic. “Father of the atomic bomb” for his role in the Manhattan Project, the World War II undertaking that developed the first nuclear weapons. The first atomic bomb was detonated on July 16, 1945, in the Trinity test in New Mexico. Oppenheimer later remarked that it brought to mind words from the Bhagavad Gita: “Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.” In August 1945, the weapons were used in the atomic bombings of Hiroshima & Nagasaki. After the war ended, Oppenheimer became chairman of the influential General Advisory Committee of the newly created United States Atomic Energy Commission. He used that position to lobby for international control of nuclear power to avert nuclear proliferation and a nuclear arms race with the Soviet Union. He opposed the development of the hydrogen bomb during a 1949–50 governmental debate on the question & subsequently took stances on defense-related issues that provoked the ire of some factions in the U.S. government & military. During the Second Red Scare, those stances, led to him suffering the revocation of his security clearance in a much-written-about hearing in 1954. Effectively stripped of his direct political influence, he continued to lecture, write & work in physics.
