Having decided, more or less, to do this, in some fashion, there remained the fact that I didn't know jack shit about what I was doing or how to do it, until a late night, absinthe-fueled conversation with Satyr and Sthenno resulted in suggestions which turned into an actual plan. Candle + Orphic Hymn to Saturn. Basic, easy, nothing too likely to eat my face.
My goal was to start this particular set of activities on, you know, a Saturday. I was going to do it every Saturday for awhile until something exploded or got boring.
And then, I missed my first Saturday. I was tired or drinking or busy, and it didn't happen. But there was an urgency calling me, a lingering of that coldness I'd felt a few days before, sitting in my car, and the goal shifted. I could do it during one of the hours of Saturn. Every day. For ten days.* After that I plan to back down to every Saturday.

10 Days of Saturn: Intro
I.
The first time it happened, I was in a childhood basement. We were talking about magick; we weren't doing anything. And then, suddenly, I was.*
Suddenly the objects on the table were simply in the wrong places, and I sank to my knees and aligned them and poured some kind of charge over the cups we were drinking. I had no idea what was happening; only the urge for the physical actions was clear to me. At the time, I believe, I said that something had walked through me, because that was the only way I could explain that impulse coming from inside, right at my core.

2011 In Review: The Fool
I am inspired by The Sassy Sibyl's 22reflect: 2011 prompts, using each of the major arcana as a lens through which to analyze your experiences, progress, etc in 2011. It's a very cool project.
I initially decided I would work through the questions she provided, but... I am going to use my Thoth cards instead, mostly because I hypothesize that I might get a lot out of sitting and meditating with each card physically in my hands. Or, to up the stakes a bit, actually throw up a circle, trance out, and go visit the folks myself.
Did I mention that I plan to do all of the majors? One each day until I am done?
I might also be effing insane.
