Spirit House

by Mishlen

Before you stands a vehicle for the manifestation of spirits. It has grounded in the following ways:
Upon the limestone base of Earth stands a cube of clay, representing the four of disks, as seen in the Crowley/Harris tarot deck. The skull is that of a goat, corresponding to the Great God Pan. Pyrite crystals stand eore and behind it, arming it for the use of protection; for pyrite, like cold iron, cuts through the astral effluvia we all must sometimes face. The feathers it wears are from the raven, both eater of the dead and messenger to the gods above. It carrys two fierce faces, to face fierce foes. The agate eyeabove it sees into the unknown, and a lunar crescent below tempers its nature.
Ensoul this piece further by dropping into the hole in its crown those talismans which represent the force you wish to evoke.
Honor it -- all these beings, including myself, have come together to create this living being. Such is the crossroad to wisdom.
