A long time ago I had a thriving blog, but then the website it was on went down and I haven't picked it up elsewhere. It had begun when I was a new student of the mysteries, my two youngest children were very small and my teens weren't nearly as independent. I think I had a lot more thought to put down on paper in those days, mainly frustration and boredom while one handed typing and nursing a toddler.
I'll start by introducing myself, since you've wandered into my lair of mundania. I'm Aedria- that's my real name by the way- I've always liked my name for it's uniqueness and later when I started studying gematria learned it has a nice numerological attribution. I'm mainly just a Mother, I have seven wonderful daughters who range in age from five years old to 19. In my free time, if I get some, I make musick using manipulated sounds as well as recordings of my dulcimer and thumb piano or any various noisy instrument. This is not done nearly as often as it used to, I've focused a lot of my mind elsewhere these last few years and we've dropped from five releases a year to one a year at best. The band is called ctephin, and it is classified as dark ambient noise as a close approximation of its genre. When we play live we generally go all out and do full magical invocations, the audience is always perplexed afterward.
I started studying the Mysteries, as I've said before, back in 2007, getting very interested in 2008 when I signed my oath and task as a student of the Order A.'.A.'. . I've gradually grown in that, learning more about myself in the process than I really intended to, and finding that the Work is much more difficult than I ever dreamed possible with very little reward. I eventually joined the Ordo Templi Orientis and got involved in that and have been working on this corporal level to do some good in promulgating the Law of Thelema, which I humbly ascribe to. (For anyone who does not know what Thelema is it means "Will" and it is a belief structure and Law which was received by Aleister Crowley in the early part of the 20th century with his communication with a praeter-natural entity who transmitted the Book of the Law or Liber AL vel Legis. There are many definitions of this and I do not care to go into them at this time.).
My interest in the occult has spurred me to practice various methods of ceremonial magic, and this blog is the musings of a Mother, Musician and Magician. I hope that it is enjoyed.
