Beautiful street art down a back alley out of sight in a small down-at-heel town. A serene goddess in an unlikely place #streetart #goddess #om #paganism #prayer #serenity #meditation

Books I've recently read & are keepers. #books #occultbooks #thelema #gnosticism #aleistercrowley #qabalah #occultsky #occultlibrary #gnostic
"I proclaim the Law of Liberty [...] in the name of IAO". Words from the EGC gnostic mass. Death is the final release into liberty "from whose eyes the veil of life hath fallen" #thelema #ecclesiagnosticacatholica #aleistercrowley #occult #occultsky #OTO #alchemy #magick #magicksky
"I proclaim the Law of Life [...] in the name of IAO". Words from the EGC gnostic mass. Why a picture of darkness to represent life? All life begins in darkness, in the womb. The womb of the body or of the abyss. #thelema #aleistercrowley #occult #occultsky #OTO #alchemy #magick #magicksky
"I proclaim the Law of Love [...] in the name of IAO". Words from the EGC gnostic mass. Love is the Law, Love under Will. (Ok, a lot more to love than sex but let's not shy away from it either.) #thelema #ecclesiagnosticacatholica #aleistercrowley #occult #occultsky #OTO #alchemy #magick #fairies
"I proclaim the Law of Light [...] in the name of IAO". "...the sole viceregent of the sun upon the earth". Words from the EGC gnostic mass. #thelema #ecclesiagnosticacatholica #aleistercrowley #occult #occultsky #OTO #alchemy #magick #tiphareth #magicksky
A delicate harebell growing wild in Northumberland, UK. Associated with intuition & spiritual awareness, harebells were thought to grow where the veil was thin between the human world & that of the fairies #paganism #pagansky #wicca #folklore #witchsky #wildflowers #symbolism #flowerlore
An impressive beetle seen on the Northumberland moors recently. #kephra #wildlife #northumberland #insects #beetles
....and all mountains turn to dust in the end. A detail on the path.
A rock stuck between a rock and a hard place. Life feels this precarious sometimes. Or perhaps this balanced; that rock has probably been there a long, long time. #balance #lifelessons #nature #mountains #countryside #outdoors #hillwalking
The way up the mountain. Because we are all on the path. #tao #dao #taoteching #thelema #mysticism #occultism #photography #countryside
...and a view of the whole stone that the cup & ring markings are carved into. Why were they made? Were they sacred, practical or purely artistic? #neolithic #ancienthistory #lordenshaws #rockart #northumberland #standingstones
More cup & ring marks at Lordenshaws, Northumberland, one of the largest clusters of this type of ancient rock art in the UK. Carved between 6000 & 3500 years ago. #history #bronzeage #stoneage #pagansky #witchsky #paganism #occultsky

Water lilies seem such perfectly formed flowers, often linked with purity & serenity. To ancient Egyptians, a symbol of the sun's journey due to the petals opening in the day and closing at night. #waterlily #flowers #nature #witchsky #thelema #egypt #paganism #photography #occult

Battersea power station. I've only ever seen it at a distance and it's an incredibly imposing building seen close up #battersea #batterseapowerstation #london #londonsights #photography #londonphotography
Egyptian obelisk known as Cleopatra's Needle in London. It was here that A.C. presented various (by all accounts, bemused) people with the Book of the Law, a charter of universal freedom for all. #thelema #occultism #liberAL #bookofthelaw #aleistercrowley #magick #occultsky #occult
