I find that clocks are all over the place if I really need to see what time it is (which is actually quite rare), so I stopped wearing a watch. For me, time now ebbs and floes like the tides. I don't know if this sort of thing would work for you, but it's been a useful magickal experiment for me. >> >>

Clocks still said that an hour went by, and time didn't seem to go by any quicker for my wife who was at home. It's my opinion that this is the most that *I* can benefit from working with Fotamecus, and that's fine. I'm not willing to say that one can actually change the flow of time using magick. (I tend more towards a psychological model.) >>

Yes, you're affecting your perception of time, you weren't trying to do the same to your watch, or your wife at home. If you gave it a go to set it so you would percieve time 'normally' and your watch to speed up or slow down, how would you measure the results? Would you say you made an effect on time, on yourself, on the watch, etc?

Time is an illusion.
