Re: BHOI
I'd love to see them. Am collecting materials from all over, and would especially like more that aren't part of the structured-coursework approach to Feri.
I don't need complete working diagrams with explanations; I'm collecting loose pieces to arrange for the specific people I'm working with, and since I'm not compiling a textbook, I don't need detailed background material & references for everything--I can just say "here's the picture; you got questions, ask."
I kinda like that there's a dearth of public BHOI material; it makes it one of the few aspects of Feri that people can't claim to have mastered by reading a website. (It also makes it really really easy to spot fake "feri teaching covens" when they show up... they grab the phrase, 'cos it sounds pretty, and come up with an utterly mangled explanation of it.)
Dominic was saying there are no BHOI "exercises;" that you reach the BHOI by getting your souls in balance and invoking the Iron Pent. Or something like that; I may be mangling his explanation. Which may be true; I can't think of any specific "now I will manifest the Black Heart" activities (other then something like "you, me, waterbed, chocolate syrup... now?"), so the "exercises" parts for the BHOI may be things like "run the pents and then cast a circle without using any words or tools."
