Am I a Man or Woman?
I received a request asking if I were a man or a woman. So, I do include some information about me in this blog from time to time, but mostly it is done relatively anonymously. There’s a reason for that. Many people disregard a source before considering information. They throw out the baby with the…

Old X-files episode Kabbish
Loving this old episode of X-files which begins with the murder of a man called Isaac Luria. Interestingly he is murdered in what we assume is the mid-90s the time of the show, in New York, but his name bares a remarkable similarity to Isaac Luria of the mid-16th century, the creator of the modern…

Handfasting
A popular temporary marriage, available in Christian Tudor England and Scotland. Revived recently as a form of marriage ceremony among neopagans. Some consider treating it as temporary for a year and a day at which point, the couple will decide whether to be married fully or to separate without commitment. However, many neopagans ask why…

Running Iron
So this practice comes from the Feri and Reclaiming tradition and forms a major part of the book “Magic of the Iron Pentacle” by Meredith and Parma, which I am currently reading and reviewing. A huge part of this practice is working with an energy construct, which is connected to the egregore of the Iron…

The Mistake of Modern Morality
It’s a beautiful thing to live in a modern, evolved and respectively-lefty society that I live in. The type of society that most of Europe and Canada live in. LGBTQIA+ identity is more openly accepted than ever before and those that do not accept our identity often find themselves silenced and censored. Their views unwelcome…

The Four Empedoclean Elements
The four elements, known commonly in many Wicca, Hermetics and Thelema-based practices around the world, are Fire, Water, Air and Earth. These form a powerful way to work with the universe and with the self. They seem on the face of it, to be a massive oversimplification, but that does not stop the idea of…

Book Review: Creating Magickal Entities by David Michael Cunningham
When I was younger I became disillusioned with the books on offer for young magical practitioners. Every book I picked up was designed to feed the ego. It sounds bad, but really they tell themselves they’re building up the audience so it’s done from a place of love. The thing is I value myself. I…

Elemental Work
The first step in any Hermetics-based magical path – which nearly all modern magic is – is to refine the core components of the initiate’s being. The individual parts of the initiate are separated out, refined and then re-integrated to form a perfected being. The perfected being is then a suitable receptacle for divine power.…
