ON GENETICS,GEOGRAPY AND HISTORY

Dear Mark,

God bless you for your generosity in sharing knowledge.

I pray I am able to reward you as is fitting for such spontaneous open handedness.

These ideas,exploring relationships between genetics,racial formation and migrations,between biology,geography and history,in relation to archaic symbolism,will prove very rewarding to meditation.

I see that Odin features significantly in your thinking, as an archetypal Caucasian shaman, and that you are in tune with the imaginative resonance and magical implications of the English landscape,in relation to theories of earth energies as mapped onto different parts of the earth.

It becomes clear that the Goetia-Girls site is the most integrated expression of your knowledge known to me, but it does not indicate the full range of that knowledge,although the ideas you express in other sourcres,such as in the mail on genetics and history, also relate to the material in Goetia-Girls as the sources of your images and your magical technique,as well as being suggestive of the journay you took to get to Goetia-Girls.

I am going to give headings to each of the letters in the blog so as to reflect the contents of the letters in a manner that guides research.

I will study your letters carefully one by one,and provide cross-referencing,an index and list of contents for them,and link them to your Goetia-Girls,Yahoo and Art Zone work,along with other miscellaneous essays of yours.

For example,the figure of Odin,his hanging from Yggdrasil,his placing his eye in the Well of Mimir,his eight-legged horse Sleipnir and your correlation of that steed with scientific ideas connected with conceptions of consciousnes recurs in your writings.These correlations could also be understood to have fed your commitment to transpositions of conscousness through dream,trance,meditation,chanting and imaginative shaping of vision through visual art,as your own favoured methods of shamanic flight.

I would be pleased to have any corrections to or refiments of my understanding of your thought and practice.

All the best and thank you very much.
