I'm taking a shamanistic approach to The Divine Comedy. My journey will last one year.

My goal is personal transformation.

The spirit worlds are here. Eternity is now.

I use this music to build a charmed atmosphere in my videos. More than anything else, I believe, music creates openings for liminal spaces.

I approached the composition, performance, and recording of these songs as exercises in giving myself over to the guidance of inspiration. I experienced each as a journey in itself.

Poetry, prophecy, music: these are gifts from Apollo. He is also the patron deity of philosophy. His oracular intervention converted Socrates to a philosophical way of life. This introduced a guiding concern for life and community into western philosophy. At Delphi, the High Priestess brought the light of divine truth into our world while serving as Apollo's Oracle. He is a god of balance and light. His creative commandment: Know Thyself.

For a period of about six months, I set myself a rigorous training program of philosophical recollection, dreamwork, and meditation. I structured openings for the influence of Fortune into the very design of this program. My hypothesis was that the universe would know what I need better than I ever could.

Out of that opening, the goddess Aphrodite rose upon me like a golden sunrise.

I give her thanks for a beatific season.

These are the basics to begin a dream practice.
