I read the pages from the last entry until the beginning of the Nati section, but I didn't really have anything to say about them. It's not you, it's me

Madame Hawksquill,

About two weeks ago I discovered that you and I had simultaneously embarked on a reread of the Aegypt Cycle. Given the decades of synchronicity that have threaded the Crowley novels through my life< I should not have been surprised. I am following your notes with great interest~~we have essentially been covering the same parts of the text day by day. I am on the West Coast and not aware of your time zone. Have you been practicing the memory arts?

[arielhawksquill]

Synchronicity indeed! I must confess I did not expect to have an audience for this reading project, LJ being what it is these days. I am glad you are enjoying my posts.

I do not practice the classical memory arts--I am not a visual thinker, so the use of images did not work for me. I do use the Tree of Life as a memory palace at times (but that means I can only remember up to 32 things!)

I also use the Tree as the basis for my interior castle which makes a nifty four-storey structure with portals between floors at Da ath and etc. Not so much for remembering things, but as your namesake had noted, it is through the creative organization of what you do know, much of what you would like to learn (or dimensions to which you would like to go) may reveal themselves.
