In A World Full Of Fake "perfect" Practitioners, This Is So Important.

In a world full of fake "perfect" practitioners, this is so important.

huge shout out to magic users who are recovering from burn out. I know you want to practice more and I know you're constantly dreaming of having a fulfilling daily practice and I know how hard it is to not have the energy to do everything you want to do.

I see you. I am you. We deserve to rest

I love this sketch, they were wonderful together. 🥹

(The Late) John Belushi ribbing Artie about ‘dropping’ Paul on SNL.

Stunning how this popped up right after I got his card in a reading.

Dua Heru indeed!

A prayer to Heru 🧿🌕☀️🦅

O Heru

Lord of the skies

Oldest and youngest of those who dwell in heaven

Creator, defender, son, avenger Avatar and helper of the vulnerable

Uniter of the two lands who dwells at the horizon

And makes the bright sky his home

Your left eye is the moon, your right eye the sun

Double-crowned son of Aset

Fighter of desolation who listens to the prayers of those who entreat him

Your mother leaned on you in her darkest hour, and so do I now in prayer

Glad-hearted king of humanity

Hear the plea of [NAME] your worshipper

With a kind heart please deign answer

And to my modest home please come closer

I feel this is worth reblogging, after reading a couple of quotes from In Restless Dreams, like:

“We had an uneven partnership because I was writing all of the songs and basically running the sessions because I would say, ‘This is how it goes, and this is the guitar part, and you should be playing that on drums, and the bass should be doing this’,” he says, adding, "Artie would be in the control room with [producer] Roy [Halee], and he’d say, ‘Yeah, that's good, let’s do that,’ but it was an uneven balance of power.” [x]

I... I don't know. For real? The wip of the songs shown in Songs of America, just to mention one source, tell a different story. And if you just listen to the songs together and alone you can hear the difference. Come on.

"We do not refer to Beatles songs as early Paul McCartney songs or early George Harrison songs. They are Beatles songs. (...) Rolling Stones songs are not referred to as Jagger's or Richards’s songs. Ray Davies wrote most of the Kinks’ songs but we do not call them early Ray Davies songs. The songs of Simon & Garfunkel were a collaborative effort, and are distinctly different from Paul Simon’s successful solo career. The works of Simon & Garfunkel have won many awards in the name of Simon & Garfunkel. They are in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in the name of Simon & Garfunkel." "Art Garfunkel was Paul Simon’s missing ingredient. Without him you’ve got smoke but not the explosion that was Simon & Garfunkel."

Thanks fuck somebody said this. Bravo.

Do not allow Art Garfunkel to be written out of history

There was a magical time for modern music, loosely between 1955 and the end of the 20th century, yet a very small percentage of it will surv

Eagle sculpture of the ancient Egyptian god Horus in the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut.

This has been haunting me for years.

“We didn’t talk to each other from the ages of 17 to 21… We were best friends. The love affair stopped with a bruise. People fall out. What else is new? I got over it because Paul was so damn good. I ran into him in Queens and he was so funny and smart that I dropped my old barrier, and when we started working together again we knew we were onto something. Paul started bringing the songs to me at Columbia College, where I was studying architecture. I was the midwife, pulling out and cherishing the babies as Paul kept giving birth.”
