Book Review: The Green Witch by Arin Murphy-Hiscock
So often when I crack open this book, I get a real sense of familiarity. Unfortunately this is not a positive sign. So often I feel like I am about to read the same old shit again. This book was a little bit different because it doesn’t regurgitate the circle drawing practices or the wheel…

Jinn Ritual
So following my previous post about a Jinn Ritual I have done a couple more rituals from Corwin’s book. One was of a personal nature and that is now over a week old and let’s just say there isn’t any evidence that it is working. No evidence is has failed, but there isn’t any evidence…

Jinn Ritual
So I have been working from Corwin Hargrove’s Practical Jinn Magic and noting down a review which gets more complete as I do each spell. I wasn’t a fan at first because when I work with jinn there’s usually a lot of talismans and verses from the Qoran which Hargrove doesn’t bother with, but in…

My family had some Egyptian and some Mediterranean roots and religiously they were Egyptian Christian (a sect known as Copt) through both my Grandmother and Grampa had been…

Papyri Graecae Magicae (PGM)
Also called the Greek Magical Papyri often called by the acronym of their name in Latin PGM. I found the texts in Swansea University library when I had first developed a serious interest in the occult in 2005. I was so excited to find them written in what I thought was Coptic. It was a…

Raising More Melanated Voices
I’m white. I have many friends who’s skin is a darker colour than mine. I often see them go through things, that I don’t go through as a white person. However what I see is a peak, like through the crack of a door. I don’t see their entire lives and miss a lot of…

Thelemites and Money
What is this? Thanks for coming to read . Tthis article. It’s incomplete right now. This is slowing being written as a course designed to make Thelemites think about money from a more Thelemic point of view and thereby be better with money. I’m hoping eventually it will be a full course that anyone can…
