Greetings,

As the title would suggest, I have found discrepancies in nearly every source on magical correspondence, I have thus far checked. Most will agree about the symbols of the elements and zodiac but few will agree on the Planets- the number, angles, hour, exc. will all differ wildly between sources. This trend is especially true of herbal correspondence; I have yet to find two sources that agree on more then ten or so- many will contradict each other out right.

Yet for some reason it all still works. Regardless of which set of correspondence I use, it seems to work most of the time. The results would indicate that the correspondence does not matter, and the effort I'm exerting is what counts. Can this be true, or is there some method to the inconsistencies that allow it to function despite the errors.

Thanks,

Greetings,

All right, then I must find an association I like and work with it with the aim of trying to become acquainted with the energy it links to.

Any I thoughts on the feelings or sensations associated with a particular energy; or are these to open to interpretation. Just asking, thought it might make things go faster if there was some sort of universal association.

Thanks

In my experience there is a sort of 'template' sensation that all energy abides by - in my opinion it's similar to the other senses, and I generally classify energy sense as a sense of it's own (6th, 7th, depends on how many senses you calculate); for instance every image may be the same, but they are all composed of light, and sensing light with the eyes is a particular sensation that we generally overlook in favor of the images themselves. The same goes for hearing, touching, tasting, and smelling. So, if you go over your past experiences with energy of any kind, it should be an easy thing to establish what the template sensation is, and go from there. Knowing that template is a great boost for learning to access and interpret other energies, but beyond that just like how everyone has different subjective opinions on images, scents, sounds, etc., energy is subjective as well.

Keeping an open mind about an energy, that is having no expectations about what it will feel like, will lend towards a quicker experience, that you will be more sure of.

peace
