The modern enlightener has a rather daunting task. It is to become the source of happy days for himself and others in a world that no longer facilitates quest and adventure. The coming fall (and especially the coming winter) are times of incredible, potent magic. For the first time in a long time. You might step into others worlds, if the right paths are taken and the correct doors unlocked and opened. Straight from the halls and cupboards of your own home. Some people will spend most of these days swearing and cursing at themselves and others, or nagging the weather or their jobs or whatever else will be going on in the world at that time, invoking the spirit of burden and kicking out the presence of mirth and goodness from their homes. Others will remember that in a world that does not understand the magical is fully devoid of it (and that you cannot react to it), and that the magical must be built in the sacred secrecy of their hearths. They will seek to invite the spirits of pleasure and kindness on their own terms and behalf. It is through them that life will go on peacefully and gently, and the pathways remain open into the greater timeline. For those with the wisdom and vision to seek them and know them. Thur.
