Jan Keppel Hesselink posted an update: i just shared a paper on the construction of a Sigil for Abraxas and the steps around connecting to the Abraxas Principle, based on a chaos magickal approach, and would be quite interested in what friends here at Rensep think of it.

Jan Keppel Hesselink posted an update in the group Shamanism: Indigenous and Trans-Cultural: For shamanic practices in nature, landscape co-defines the intensity. We found an amazing magical landscape in the east Algarve that we document on our website; here is a summary of our eco-magick-shamanic landscape project I want to share. Here we do sometimes shamanic drumming and singing with an ancient Indian drone instrument. The interaction between shamanic activity and landscape is a topic I am interested in. Any input from the friends here?

Jan Keppel Hesselink posted an update: Landscape Magick at an Ancient Stone Circle we found with Megaliths. On the south-facing slope of Monte Pocilgais, in the eastern Algarve hills between the parishes of São Brás de Alportel and Moncarapacho, there is a grey stone oval approximately fifty metres long and twenty metres wide. The stones are materially foreign to the local geology. Old carob trees and stone oaks have rooted themselves into the structure over centuries. A possible passage opens west to east. The site lies close to a seasonal river but above the floodline. Nearly everyone who has sat quietly inside it has reported a shift in atmosphere that resists ordinary explanation. We revive psycho-emotional landscape ecology, or better: esoteric landscape phenomenology or genius loci-based ecological landscape practice.

Jan Keppel Hesselink posted an update: Happy to enter this group. Magick is the logical next step after meditation. I hope to contribute to the field of Magick, both as a scientist and as a practitioner. My first inspiration came from Abraxas, the Gnostic text from Jung. I did chaos magick based on Abraxas for quite some time.Looking forward to working in this group and sharing ideas and approaches.
