Much in agreement re visualisation. Found those exercises best as a jumping off point to discover the modality that comes the most naturally (not the visual in my case), and then building on that to broaden perception.
I had already worked as an artist before seriously studying magic, so it seemed weird to me to start with "picture a green triangle" sort of visualization, and I also don't like that it excludes people that have aphantasia. I use my other senses/sensations to differentiate between my imagination and the Other. I never really confused spirit encounters with my imagination, but I think one of the more interesting exercises to build on that was a very casual remote viewing, projection, and astral interactions over the course of being part of local group that often had to meet up online for convenience.
I'm looking forward to catching up on some of your music posts when I get a chance.
That dick pic tweet is still one of my top ten faves of all time.
I was never into visualisation for years(*) but I've got a bit better at it in the last year or so since doing some LBRP. I kinda like it. Still more into earth stuff
Proper.
