Thunder Arousing

A spell and ritual to awaken the life force existing in a pause between moments

Thunder, Arousing is a spell and ritual that offers the potential to awaken the life force existing in a pause between moments, and to arouse dormant hope, that which was thought lost. 

A magic spell resonates with potentiality, its potency allowing it to be uncovered, discovered, non-imposed.   If fragments of a spell collide with a person’s unconscious desires then it is possible that a magical transformation may emerge.

The duration of a spell’s enactment is stretched away from that which we understand as ordinary time.
