Like everyone else, I've been sitting in front of my radio and TV watching the news

Since there's nothing else I can now do, I'm going to drum and pray for as much peace as this situation will hold and I call out to any Barbelithers who are so inclined to do something similar.

Without getting into politics, whatever you feel you can get behind, the lives of those wounded, peaceful solutions, the averting of any war situations. Whatever you feel strongly about do something.

If you're a chaos mage, do a sigil. Shamanic practitioner, journey, pray, drum.

Whatever your practice, just do something.

It's about all most of us can do and it's better than just soaking up what the media is feeding us.

OK. I do not practice anything to influence the outer world, but I will focus on mastering myself... because I am on the edge of hysteria, and maybe the way to forestall mass hysteria is individual by individual taking responsibility for her own mind.

Your presence of mind is breathtaking, Lothar. It's a privilege to know you.

Can't believe work hasn't just sent us home. Who's going to be phoning us now?

I want out of this office. Friends coming over to pray tonight.

Thanks Lothar. I've got my hands full over here with Mom, but I'm definitely trying to keep centered and post info as I get it.

holy shit
all i can do is wait for some news from my big NYC pal, Adam.

and i really wanna know if all our NYC 'lithers are okay, too. i mean, ok physically, cause i truly cannot believe what i saw today.

it's incredible. i'm totally ashamed of where human being can go wrong ; they already proved us many times. and now, it sounds like the people who got power for years, decades, are really fucked.
all my positives waves to all of u' people who got connections with anybody in this manhattan mess.
peace 2 y'all.

Ditto, june.

Not sure what I can do, bearing in mind the lack of coherent spiritual structure in my life right now - beautiful thread, though, Lothar. Nice one.

Thanks Lothar. I'm pretty worried about NYC 'lithers myself. Drop us a post when you happen to be on guys.

Hi everyone.

I’ve been interceding for this situation and in particular for the people I know are effected. If anyone has any specific prayer requests, please send me a private message and I’d be very happy to send some your way.

It’s frustrating to be at work right now, as I’m sure prayer is a much more constructive use of my time!

Yeah, strange as it may seem, sigilising (praying, whatever) seems like the only sane response. I can't give money (skint) can't give blood (British = vCJD), can't go back in time and make it all not happen...
All I can do is what I can do and wish for better.
Fuck it, I may even start praying again.

Ierne, I hope that all of your friends and loved ones are ok. I can't imagine what it must have been like for you and anybody else who was that close to it.

Excellent point. If anyone needs, or knows of anybody who needs, anything specific prayed/sigiled/magicked for post it on the board (or send private messages/emails). At the very least it couldn't hurt and it might very well help.
