Hello ! Great article! I am looking forward to the next one!
I like to work magick with different selves. It's very liberating to be able to shape shift in that way. I guess some people have a stronger sense of identity and for them they are just one and the same. I never felt that committed to anything. Nation, religion and other societal and tribal forms failed to capture me and fix me. I don't identify particularly strong with any gender, third gender being the closest to who I feel I am. I feel free to be whoever I want at any given time. This makes it easy to work with different selves.
Magic seems to me very much a process of writing your own story, even if only metaphorically. I am convinced that our experiences can indeed influence the archetypes and their future. It's an interesting relationship that we have with them.
