  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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…
