Thank you for the kind words, and I'm glad it resonated with you! Clearly, I've had a similar reaction to JMG's works.

Regarding not taking the magical path, I noticed you didn't mention the Way of the Golden Section, which would be fully compatible with OSA, MOE, and even UGC work. Had you considered that as an option?

I'm not sure if by "not magic" you're saying "not even a daily banishing ritual, meditation, and divination" - if so, then, fair enough, WotGS would not be for you. But if you consider that basis as "just occultism," as JMG does, then it might be an option worth checking out if you haven't.

I was initially not much grabbed by the Sacred Geometry stuff, but having done a preliminary reading, I'm more intrigued than I once was. The main reason I haven't worked through WotGS is that I've had plenty to meditate on with the DMH and Dolmen Arch, and so far it has seemed useful to keep the Ogham as my primary system of divination, at least until I finish scrying every Few and doing pathworking (likely another six months at least, at this point).

Anyhow, certainly not trying to push anything, just thought I'd bring it up as an option in case you hadn't looked into it.

On your last point, yeah, I've been giving a lot of thought lately to how to keep the bits of the current weirdo spiritual scene I find worthwhile going through the coming years and hopefully well beyond that, which is one reason why I wanted to look at Revival Druidry as a case study. That being said, I suspect I have a lot more work to do on that front, but I'll share it as I'm able.
