Just a note that with my translation of chapters from one of Weinfurter's works finishing up (the last chapter is up for Dreamwidth accounts), as per my recent announcement I will be posting chapters/sections from another translation, this time on a monthly basis (every 1st of the month), for Dreamwidth subscribers to my dreamwidth blog. (This time I will be leaving the chapters up instead of taking them down with each new chapter.) The new work will be the somewhat scholarly Franz Dornseiff's The Alphabet in Mysticism and Magic (originally published in German in 1922).
A post about the author and some excerpts from a 1923 review of the original in the journal Classical Philology are on my blog here for those who would like an idea of what this work will be about.
My general lack of questions for Magic Monday at the moment stems from my reading of Weinfurter's work on mysticism and some of his comments which I will very poorly summarise as the idea that the answers will come to you when you are ready for them and not before, with the primary imperative being to focus on what you are immediately doing (this emphasis on concentration and action is probably the biggest gift from reading these Magic Mondays too). Such is my path.
