That my known self will never be more than a clearing in the forest. That gods come forth from the forest into the clearing of my known self, and then go back. That I must have the courage to let them come and go."</i><br /><br />-<b>D.H. Lawrence<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /><br /></span></b>This quote pricks at my senses in a most peculiar way. When I think of it, I can almost smell dark, waxy green leaves and look into the ancient eyes of moss-covered satyrs. There's a very forbidden texture to even acknowledging this movement of the gods. I almost shudder with fear and sharp delight.<br /><br />I promise you this. I will always try to infuse my work with that feeling.<br /><b><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></b><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8054542854004506545-6471952948391080632?l=ceilede.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Kara Rae Garlandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13316404301205774503noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8054542854004506545.post-132547516265387292008-05-08T03:11:00.000-07:002008-05-08T03:22:50.671-07:00<a href="http://plutonica.net">Plutonica.net</a> is an esoteric blog exploring philosophy, spirituality and magick hosted by my long-time online BFF, Psyche, of <a href="http://spiralnature.com">Spiralnature.com</a> fame.

I'll tell you a secret. I make a hole in the universe and we will both peer through. I will tell you what I see and you will tell me what you see. We will rejoice where our vision overlaps. It's called Boolean Logic. Mystics throughout the ages have called it the Vesica Piscis. I am Pisces. The Fish is a symbol for Christ, the fisher of men. This is no coincidence, my friend.
