M.G. from Oregon on Essays 9 “staggering” essays: “Dear Erica 93, I’m absolutely blown away with all your essays in #9. ‘On love girt with a sword’ I found helpful and informative. ‘On the Yama of attention’ it filled me with inspiration and excitement. ‘On the interpretation of dreams’ I found cautionary and wise. ‘On the I-ching sticks used by Aleister Crowley’ I’ve made a set and am now more inspired to use them. Your essay on egregore was brilliant and astonishing. I’m grateful both of you have come into my life with your writings. It’s exciting finding magical books that really speak to you and this one definitely did for me. Thank you for all your hard work and time. I can tell that right away that this was a product of awesome gnosis, enjoyment and passion.” Thank you!
