Greetings Jeff, I'm catching up on your writings from the last month and enjoying reading the story of your journey. Thank you for sharing.
For your scrying, I'm pondering the difference between "listening to the wisdom of your body" versus "learning to listen..." For many modern males, part of the right of passage is in some way showing mastery over the body, particularly in the military or sports where not eating of pushing past your limits is celebrated. Perhaps this is pointing to something more complex than just listening to your body more, maybe this is pointing to a whole other branch of your occult work - "learning to listen to the body" - which may involve more than just eating when you are hungry and honoring resting rather than celebrating pushing through, though these things are likely part of the wisdom of your body. I can imagine a years worth of observations and meditations just in listening to my body through daily cycles, moon cycles, and the solar cycle of seasonal changes.
I may also be extrapolating and assuming too much; and I am realizing that your advice is pertinent to me, and this train of thought is one I should explore further.
Hope you are finding ways to stay cool and hydrated. May you and yours be blessed.
