To all who mark it, a blessed Samhuinn - may the close of this year's life bring bounty and harvest, and the opening of the next seeds ready for growth. For anyone else, happy Halloween!
To Share: For those who do podcasts, Mark Bisone's The Podcast Was Never Found recently hosted his friend John Carter, and their discussion was wide-ranging and interesting. Maybe most interesting to those here was some fairly extensive speculation on the role of narrative in metaphysics and/or how we choose to relate to what happens to us and the wider world - it's certainly at least an interesting way to look at what it is we're doing here in incarnation: https://markbisone.substack.com/p/tpwnf-episode-2-the-dark-jeddak-rises
To Ask: I had a question on the "Heathen Rosary" I posted last week, and it had enough of a magical side to it that I thought it would be worth asking here. In brief, it's a set of prayers with a set of beads modeled on the Catholic Rosary, but with prayers to Heathen Gods and Goddesses and with some different numerlogical symbolism. After each prayer, you say "Alu" where a Christian would say "Amen." The reader asked if it would be worthwhile to vibrate ALU in this sequence. I wasn't sure, as Alu is certainly a word of power that seems worthy to vibrate in the right place, but the sequence of prayers isn't a magical ritual, which is the only context for which I know of vibrating words of power. So, would this be helpful, harmful, neutral, or something to determine by experiment?

Thank you again, JMG and everyone here!
