Gave a journal code to reicheire for venetiakitty, and then added agent139 because he added me first and sounds cool (though no idea how he came across me), and added gremliness' friend nalidoll because she is also cool.

I think we'll count it as a simultaneous mutual friending, then.

Hi. Of course, I probably "got" less than half of that, but hey, cool.

[agent139.livejournal.com]

just a bit of qabbalistic nonsense. wasn't sure if you were in that game or not.

[azurelunatic]

Not very far.

Likely the LBRP's about all the further I'll go, at least at this point. But it did make a nice structured starting point.

if you're going to bother with it - and you don't mind glaring historical innaccuracy for the sake of practical use - i *highly* recommend getting the thoth deck (tarot) and the book of thoth and just working with it that way. that is if you're visual or artistically inclined.

History is history. Practical is practical.

Though I do appreciate it when they come nicely labelled.

hm. they do say that when you don't learn from history, you're forced to relive it until you have. however i don't know who 'they' are, and i think this is just another way of looking at adaptability.

still, the point remains- history is something more than an armchair exercize. personal or otherwise.

[azurelunatic]

History is the accounting of what happened, often written by the winners.

The practical side of it are the things that are supposed to be learned from the history. All the history in the world won't serve you well if all you learn is to recite dates and Important Events without attaching any significance to what these things meant.

you will find no argument from me on that. contrary to our elementary school programs however history is a great deal more than a collection of facts. its a mythology from which, as you said, a people can make legends of themselves, and make their detractors or blemishes disappear. (little kundera, maybe, i'm on a roll.)

what i wonder though, is where the point is that personal history becomes cultural history- or vice versa. or is there such a point at all?
