Orphic offering
There is an ultimate offering. It is to the God of All, to the whole. It is giving to all whatever is needed to make the living world an example of the great beauty, to match all that we are with all that is and will be. We call this “activation” I suppose, and it…

Exit Interview
I was given the questionnaire to answer after leaving the Seatemple Inn gathering. Once I was rested, I opened the file and began to respond to it point by point. Q. How would you define the Wunderkabinett project in your own words? Is it a physical/digital collection, an artistic concept, or something else? What inspired…

Gold Leaf Talisman
In our work we describe objects as vessels for knowledge animated by shamans/magicians. How does this “animation” work? For example, one researcher told the short tale of a talisman made of gold leaf, held in the pouch of an old woman whose grandfather entrusted her with it. She has no idea what it is or…

Instruments
After examining the situation through various facets, and in the final writing of the report, I realized that the search is to find not objects but instruments. As instruments of magic, the ritual objects are used as communicators, and also as connectors to the unseen realms. Those of us whose objects have been accepted by…

Presentation and Vision
I was lost and broken when I first arrived at the Seatemple Inn, and unsure as to what was expected of me. “Don’t worry,” the clerk had told me as I surveyed the empty lobby, you will meet the others soon. Were the others at an event that I hadn’t been given clearance to attend?…

Subtle Dialogue
I saw a knife; was it rusted or blood encrusted? Encrusted or cursed? It glowed in twilight, it stood in darkness, hidden behind the stone wall. It was from the old days, and it was in the hands of a man whose face was hidden. Behind him I heard cackling, snorting laughter of a woman,…

Seatemple Inn: Vacancy
As I mentioned my notes were sketchy and unclear. The event itself was more crystalline and real than anything I had ever known before. And I left with the profound understanding that all the work done by researchers over the years was somehow culminated together here in this luminous sphere. Like Shakespeare’s Globe theatre, the…

Look Again
It was after all the overviews and reading the dossiers, and collecting the repetitious connections that appeared to make sense at the beginning, but then they did not make sense. Somehow, my words had been stolen in such a way that they were flattened. They lost some of the magic that I had thought they…

Initiation
We are made ready by meeting those who are initiates, and then one will be in the appropriate affinity to open that first door, a first true step out. Then comes the reality. Almost like after-surgery care, the initiator is around helping for a time, then even if this one leaves or not, the pulse…

The Amulet
The problem is the systematic destruction of the kabinett warehouse, the horeum, and the mixing of crappy replicas with the highly charged objects, so the good ones are not able to be found and catalogued. I started thinking that there might be a twist. The organization behind this replacement with false items: that organization seems…
