  • Motives for Magical Practice

    If we don’t practice from a good place then our practices often fail to bare fruit. If you practice because you believe that there is something wrong with you and you are attempting to attain to that then you push yourself to grow without enjoying the state you have achieved and you don’t firmly using…

  • Curses

    This section is about magic, which is done with the intention to harm or destroy another person. Curses can be called a variety of different things: hexes, jinxes, banes (although this is usually a poison), the evil-eye, bedevil, malediction (specifically spoken curses) and even a, whammy (yes as in “double whammy”). All these words have…

  • Atlantis

    It is unlikely that Atlantis existed. Should it have existed, it is unlikely that it had any of the things ascribed to it by the modern New Age community. Location The island was located just beyond the pillars of Heracles. This is just beyond the opening of the Mediterranean onto the Atlantic Ocean. Just beyond…

  • Drawing the Circle

    This is a stub … I hope to just add notes here when I come across things that inspire me to add more. A circle can be draw in many ways, in some cases with symbols interwoven with the edges of the circle like in the ritual form of the LBRP. In some instances however…

  • Toxicity of the New Age Community

    Anyone that knows me in person, knows I used to be a regular face at conventions: Glastonbury… London… Cardiff… even Cleveland, Ohio and probably in Feb 2022 or so, Detroit, Michigan. I was involved in multiple OTO bodies, I gave an IOT group a try and I did other things which I really can’t talk…

  • Magic vs Christianity

    Many pagan authors harp on about Christian persecution of witches and pagans. I quickly tire of the long tirades and ask what is the relevance to the practice of magic? I don’t think I have ever noticed a practical magical application to thinking of oneself as repressed. Maybe a magician might see a respectable power…

  • The 3 Refuges

    You might notice that I notice about Buddhism a lot. A lot of pagans and magicians hold Buddhism with a lot of respect. In the words of Crowley paraphrased from somewhere in the begining of Magick ABA (Book 4), many famous religious leaders achieved attainment: Jesus, Mohammed, Buddha are among them, but the advantage with…

  • Book Review Corwin Hargrove Practical Jinn Magick

    Perhaps you can cast you mind back to when we had come out of lock down from the Coronavirus, we were slightly worried about a second wave and then we had an incredible heatwave for a week in August. It finally broke with a huge thunder storm. Well that marks the beginning of me working…

  • Cardinal Points

  • Random Poetry – Fucking Stupid

    Why can’t you see? You’re so fucking stupid. You turn from truth, reason left looted. Why can’t you see? You’re so fucking stupid. Slogans and earworms, facts uprooted. Evidence, not arrogance. Thought, not fire. Wisdom, not freedom, To be a fucking liar. Fear is the mind death, It shuts your brain down. Everything you’re scared…
