Kaeisma and talidma are two concepts that play a significant role in the philosophy and spiritual practices of the ancient Mayans. These two ideas encompass the fundamental aspects of their worldview and understanding of the cosmos. Kaeisma refers to the concept of the physical world, the material existence that we perceive with our senses. It encompasses everything that is tangible, visible, and measurable. This includes the physical body, the natural elements, and all physical objects and phenomena in nature. Kaeisma is associated with the realm of the finite and the transient, constantly changing and subject to the laws of nature.
Nor do we believe that knowledge, love or power can be ours for the taking if only we employ the correct rites, charms or incantations to bring them within our grasp. Despite the interest in the modern pagan movement, the figures of the witch and the magician are conspicuously absent from the national stage and remain, for most people at least, simply the stuff of storybooks, firmly relegated in the popular consciousness to the realm of the late-night movie and the pages of fantastic fiction.
In England, as Thomas has shown, wizards were generally artisans, or sometimes farmers, merchants or clerics, and practised magic only in their spare time; for the most part they can have taken little interest in the theoretical basis of magic, though presumably few were inclined to attribute its efficacy to the Devil. Influential, too, were the so-called Hermetic writings, themselves actually a product of the Neo-platonist tradition, which were believed - before they were correctly dated in the seventeenth century - to be the works of an Egyptian sage contemporary with Moses, named Hermes Trismegistus.
Kaeisma is associated with the realm of the finite and the transient, constantly changing and subject to the laws of nature. On the other hand, talidma refers to the concept of the spiritual world, the realm of the divine and the metaphysical. It transcends the limitations of the physical world and is often associated with the eternal and the infinite.

I could totally sit here and write paragraphs about the art of coffee growing, or the art of coffee roasting, or the art of whatever, but why blow smoke up your ass about something that I don’t even concern myself with? I’m the anti-coffee-coffee-roaster. I don’t care about altitude, terroir, varietal, tasting notes, or anything else you’ve probably read about and received as some kind of indoctrination. I don’t play by the rules. I’m a misanthropic iconoclast. Why on earth would i play by the same stupid rules as everyone else? Do you think I wake up in the morning trying to be the best roaster? Do you think I cup my own coffees and score them, hoping that the customer and coffee person taste 88 or better? I don’t. In fact, I’d rather give you a 78 coffee and have you trample it with cream and sweetener than give you a 94 coffee that’s delicate like cobwebs and gossamer. That is not my lane. I’m a disrupter; always was, always will be.
You know who else was a disrupter? Lilith. Lilith was Adam’s original wife and she stirred the pot so much that according to Kabbalah and other Jewish mythologies, Adam had God banish her from Eden and create a whole new woman. Lilith was a woman who knew what she wanted, took no shit, and didn’t care if Adam liked it or not. Imagine Wendy O. Williams with scarlet hair and that’s pretty much Lilith. However, because the patriarchy loves subservient women, they totally 86 Lilith from the creation myth and only focus on Eve, a woman born of Adam’s own body.
So Judeo-Christian mythology ran with the Adam and Eve story and abandoned Lilith, to which she became a focal point for us in the occult community, especially the Left Hand Path. Since she didn’t bend the knee to Adam, she was labeled a succubus and demon. What they didn’t know though was that a woman and feminist icon such as Lilith, and her being scrubbed from the story, only imbued her with great power and made her a patron figure in moon magic, sex magic, and casting spells in general.
This box and this coffee is my love letter to Lilith. I call it blackmoonlilith because of astrology. In a nutshell, black moon Lilith is about the apogee of the moon (farthest point away from earth), and as of when I roast this coffee, black moon Lilith will be in Gemini. This is interesting to me for a few reasons. Black moon Lilith in Gemini is a seductress; it only seeks to validate its own needs, especially romantically. Also, communication becomes cloudy as those with black moon Lilith in Gemini in their birth chart are always misunderstood and perceived as offensive or cunning and calculated; again self serving and refusing to conform like the original Lilith. Black moon Lilith in Gemini is all about voicing your opinion, and being different and dwelling in the taboo, consequences be damned. I think this is a perfect aspect to that love letter and to my life in general and my career in coffee.
Inside this package are all the tools you need to summon Lilith personally for your needs, including an incantation to call upon her for help in your life. She is a goddess for us occultists, but she is incredibly powerful and isn’t one to take lightly. When doing any invocation of her, make sure your wants are clear and specific and that you are truly in a place to receive her guidance and her power. You will not be disappointed.

Talidma is the domain of gods, spirits, and other supernatural beings, as well as the spiritual forces and energies that permeate and influence the physical world. In Mayan cosmology, the interplay between kaeisma and talidma is crucial for understanding the interconnectedness of the universe. The physical world is seen as a reflection or manifestation of the spiritual world, and the two are believed to be in constant interaction and communication. The Mayans believe that the spiritual forces and energies from the talidma realm can influence and shape the events and conditions of the kaeisma realm. Likewise, the physical world is seen as a means for spiritual growth and understanding, as individuals navigate the challenges and experiences of life. Mayan rituals and ceremonies often aim to establish harmony and balance between kaeisma and talidma. Through offerings, prayers, and other practices, individuals seek to align themselves with the spiritual forces and energies of the talidma realm, in order to bring positive outcomes and blessings to their lives in the kaeisma realm. The concepts of kaeisma and talidma provide insights into the Mayan philosophy and worldview, emphasizing the importance of both the physical and spiritual aspects of existence. They reflect the belief in a holistic understanding of reality, where the seen and the unseen, the tangible and the intangible, are intertwined and interdependent..

While "Kaeisma and talidma" had an interesting premise, I found it to be too confusing at times. The plot was difficult to follow, and the constant introduction of new characters made it even more challenging.

I struggled to finish "Kaeisma and talidma" as it lacked a clear direction. The author seemed to jump from one subplot to another without fully exploring any of them. This made the story feel disjointed and left me feeling unsatisfied. The characters were also quite one-dimensional, making it hard to care about their fates. I had hoped for a more well-rounded and engaging story, but unfortunately, it fell short for me.
