They all knew government was a monster that needed to be bound by law and magic 💀

Now I'm going to think about that all day, I'd never thought about it from that angle before-- interesting

Hehe (hugs) I learned this from my Tibetan teachers when they build monasteries. Religion and government in Tibet was medieval in its nature. They pinned government through ritual to the ground. Didn't always work, but their ruling body knew about energies and seats of power.

This is really interesting to me-- I'm imagining Tibetans using ritual magic to curtail the inherent powers of their government and it's seats, while it looks like the US uses ritual magic to enhance the powers of the seats. I may have it wrong, but thanks for giving my imagination something to busy itself with today!
