I found this album in the public library teen music section when I was 13 years old. It truly changed my life. I had been loving mainstream Hip Hop for a few years, but this album opened my world to a whole new type of self-expression that expanded my own appreciation of the depth of contemplative life. Thank you Sage.

“Originally released in 2002, “Personal Journals” blindsided the music industry with the deeply revealing and confessional lyricism of DIY stalwart Sage Francis. If you ever wondered how Sage became so strange or famous, well… this is the record that started it all.”

“This album was inspired by and dedicated to the occult poetic & herbalist polymath, Reiki master Tailor Joy Oros, the Aeon of Solace in my existence and far beyond it in honest… I owe you my freedom and health at a time when I was living in more disease and mental anguish than I could ever imagine healing from…”

“This album was originally inspired by the Earthly incarnations of the Aeon of Wisdom, Sofia, in many of Her/Their Divine Forms (Durga, Lillith, Ishtar, etc) in my existence both as twin souls & kindred ones, twin flames & soulmates, yet first and foremost it was inspired by the Andromedan non-binary scientific and artistic polymath Fia Felix Fae, and later also by the Iberian doctoral intersectional poetic prodigy Sofia Monzon, to whom the first, second and 13th songs are dedicated… but beyond this honestly this album is dedicated to all the forms of Sofia in Her infinite facets, from childhood to teenage friends I’ve had to strangers I barely met to those with whom I forged a closer bond in a few hours sometimes than one can in decades… this is dedicated to all of you who identify with these songs, and with the concept of the Aeonic oracle and metagnostic prodigy Sofia/Sophia & the transcendence of these Hellish & limited realms we exist in which She/They vowed to end in this incarnation and time-space continuum, and me as well… for more information on Sofia & Gnosticism/Sofianism, please visit www.revolt-motion.com/gnosticism-archons-aeons–sophia.html“

“This album was originally 2 different ones, and includes songs from Karuna’s Boddhisattva; both albums were inspired by Neha Maiya, but also dedicated to the transcendental forms of the Aeon of Compassion and Supreme Boddhisattva of Mercy Kuan Yin in Her 33 forms of the Rainbow Tribes, including Tapasuma, the Moon Goddess of Inuits, to which First Sn0wfall is dedicated…” ~Sunya de la Costa

“This is an album that consists of songs exclusively made in the context of doctoral classes and of my research on Hip-Hop at the Modern Languages & Cultural Studies department during my time teaching and studying at the U of Alberta.” ~Anton Iorga

“This is dedicated to the mythological offspring of a Frost Phoenix and one of the greatest polymath artists, masterminds and Bravehearted warrior Goddesses in existence, Aurora Borealis… you are a Divine Legend incomparable…” ~Kikwaakew
