Following my prior posts around both ritual inhalants and seasons and cycles, it is appropriate to discuss the nature of sensory awareness within this context. Even a substance as ubiquitous as caffeine can change the way you interact with the world in your immediate periphery, changing the way you sense what you sense. This deeply held awareness of one's situation, circumstances, and the flows which work their ways within a given situation is an important aspect of serpent sorcery.
In essence, its what makes this Work worth doing.
The Work itself changes how you relate to the land you're on and the spirits upon it, creating a sensory awareness of the flows at hand. When this occurs, it can change the way you interface with those entities and powers by changing the way you feel and sense them. This shift in sensory awareness then dictates your cognizance of the flow within the land and, in turn, increases your ability to work with these forces.
This is where meditation comes in as an important tool, as it creates body and spirit awareness while creating emotional awareness. While you Work, be mindful of any felt shifts, however small, and attempt to ascertain their nature. If you can learn to do so, you'll find yourself better prepared to interface correctly, which in turn creates more powerful magic.
Pro tip. ;)
Blessings,
