Your practice is like a painting and even the empty space matters and should be put their thoughtfully.

What I’ve discovered through the process of writing my grimoire is that it’s equally essential to explain why something is omitted from my practice as it is to detail what’s included. This is particularly important to me because I prefer not to leave gaps in my understanding. I’ve already arrived at conclusions about why I’ve chosen one path over another, […]
