Heck, I'm still trying to get a new girlfriend. Anyway, try some of
that Cup and Sword Magick, the J & H communion stuff that RAW describes.
Maybe that Dashwood/Tarantella-as-Rhoda scene will get her going.
} BTW, she's also on book II of Schrodinger's Cat; a coincidence???
Coincidence? `Coincidence' means two things that happen at (roughly)
the same time (as observed from a particular frame of reference). It's
an observation, not an explanation. Calling an odd juxtiposition of
event a coincidence is like explaining that something is blue `because
it gives off a blue color'. (Trick Top Hat is, in fact, all about
coincidence and interconnectedness as one of the three common metaphors
for understanding Quantum Theory. Stranger and stranger.)
I hope she likes the book. You could read the fun parts to each other.

The Scottish Rite Temple in L.A.? The one at 4357 Wilshire Blvd? That
is some large and gorgeous building! Exactly what I would expect as
something built in California for Freemasons. It isn't as wild as
Rosicrucian Park, but it's worth seeing. I attended 1) a Masonic
communication, in one of the *many* lodge rooms, and 2) my little
brother's swearing in as a member of the California bar, in the main
auditorium. Even if you're more interested in architecture than LSD,
you ought to see this monument to tasteless beauty.
