The Daily Merlin insights are in the format of a ritual. They are a repetitive sequence of workings invoked by the magical faculties of the mind. A connection formed between the woken conscious mind and the hidden (occult) super consciousness by way of divination .... usually in the form of specific tarot decks. The ritual is always undertaken in the same format. Meditation music, which the sub-conscious has come to associate with it being a signal for the connection to be made, is played to create the right vibration in the sacred space and also to aid the mind in adopting the right frame of mind to be sufficiently disciplined to undertake the working.
An image is more often than not chosen as the focus .... so by psychometric means the image will aid in providing the vibration on which to focus the working. This vibration is more often than not further reinforced with a written intention ... the theme of the working for that particular night.
The ritual then proceeds with the actual dialogue being received by the lower consciousness in the form of a written transcript. Whatever the source of the dialogue it is not important. During the time of the working, during the ritual, the mediation is accepted as being real and valid .... and it is the desired effect of the ritual to receive the dialogue ...
The tarot images will always be chosen in the same way ... a ritual within a ritual. The crystals cast onto the tarot to formulate the vibration and shape of the information received by the conscious mind from the super consciousness. The working is then photographed as a closing ceremony within the ritual. The digital image then processed .... and then added to the transcript copy published on A Light In The Darkness.
The entire procedure is a repetition each and every time. Basically ... a ritual is can be described as repetitive and the same thing over and over again. This repetition .. is what gives the working its power .... as the mind anticipates ... and prepares for the connection to be made.
