Can't believe I haven't done this in a long time...

I used to do a good bit of meditation using electronic music- especially progressive breakbeat (I think I have the right sub-genre here...), generally with interesting results, very different from meditation without music. Habersham's Transparent Sound was really good for my brain getting to some interesting places.

Last night, I was listening to some Pat Foosheen and found a track that I've had but apparently never listened to, and was just blown away. It's called Zion, for anyone who might care. The forward-moving, layered wave-like structure of the piece kinda reminds me of Transparent Sound and the piece overall is vaguely remeniscent of a drum circle...if drum circles were electronically-generated. There are aso some wacky synesthesiac patterns, shapes and colors coming to mind that I'm having a hard time translating to words.

I need to pick this up again, meditation to the crazy music...lol

Bitchy Pagan Post

Where in the hell do so many pagans get the idea that you must be spiritually void or stagnant and incapable of having any sort of real connection to the divine if you are "book smart", a recon (or otherwise not eclectic) and/or actually (oh my gawds!) call it a "religion" instead of a "path"????

Really, I find the idea that because I prefer to get my information from sources not found in the Llewellyn catalog and because I *like* to read academic articles on the gods, history, religion etc, then I must be somehow spiritually stunted to be insulting and presumptuous.

Uh...nothing to see here, go about your business.
