As noted, my work described here is...Good question. As noted, my work described here is 1. adaptive but 2. based on instructions from the grimoire who author was quite Eurocentric. When working with medieval and Early and Mid Modern Era (ie, 13th-17th century or so) grimoire, I think it is important to understand how the work was meaningful to the people in that time and place and then consider how to make the work and process meaningful and relevant to you right here and now. That means adaptation, experimentation, and reconfiguration play into the mix. It seems intuitive to me that a person from the Southern Hemisphere who decided to construct the Almadel tables would need to configure them in a way different from as described in the text. The tables themselves are supposed to be made out of wax with holes placed in them where incense, placed beneath the table rises up. East table is supposed to be made it is respective season. There are traditional mages out there--namely Frater Ashen Chassen, who have done the construction and evocation work exactly in alignment with the grimoire text. I take a more artistic and adaptive approach.Soror ZSD23https://www.blogger.com/profile/15056865183374988025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2919954722785758311.post-52147897006756756092017-08-10T04:53:59.262-07:002017-08-10T04:53:59.262-07:00I am in the southern hemisphere, so our seasons di...I am in the southern hemisphere, so our seasons differ. Isn't the location of the sun in the astronimic zodiac a more reliable way of determining which colour to make the almadel?Winged Sentryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09380893420003805432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2919954722785758311.post-27110217794275606922016-11-05T12:05:45.850-07:002016-11-05T12:05:45.850-07:00Thank you!
