Chaos Magic Notes on Lunar Cycles and Personal Patterns ๐
It's almost always during the waning moon ๐ and at year's end that I get sick more often or gain weight. At first, I attributed this annual cycle to holiday festivities: late nights, excessive sweets, overeating, and meeting more people than usual. Maybe that's exactly what it is.
However, the lunar component of this cycle deserves attention too. Was I ever guided by the moon as a child? Perhaps. I might have been favored by lunar energy while growing into my magical practice. I once found a frog on my pillow ๐ธ as a kid, with a clear ray of full moon light streaming through the circular window in our unfinished ceiling.
Maybe that's why fate favors me when the moon is at its brightest and fullest ๐. But as a chaos magician, you can't just let that pattern continue unchecked, right? You have to counter the waning moon periods and find favor elsewhere.
But where? From the sun? โ๏ธ From a specific place? I know I've felt a connection with Siquijor, a local island town just across from my city ๐๏ธ. These are just possibilities and speculation, though.
It's challenging to work magic when your belief system resembles a four-dimensional Frankenstein puzzle ๐งฉ.
Of course, I could always use the "set and forget" intention method, but that approach doesn't always work best for this type of dilemma. At most, it's a band-aid ๐ฉน.
Looking back, I've explored pathworking with various mystical entitiesโfrom angels ๐ผ to earth gnomes ๐งโโ๏ธโand these practices seem to illuminate the roots of whatever challenge I'm facing. I'm somewhat obsessed with understanding the underlying nature of problems rather than just fingerblasting them with magical force and hoping they disappear.
There are indeed paths of least resistance to most of our life goals, and pathworking, shadow work, or active imagination can help us find these routes โจ.
While it's been quite some time since my last journey into that space, I think it's time to return to pathworking ๐ช. The goal would be to counter this cycle and maintain an ever-expanding reservoir of "luck" ๐.
