Presentation on the Sabbaths
Not my most enthusiastic subject, but I ran through a presentation of the Sabbaths for my coven today. As a result, I threw together this presentation. It was made in a matter of minutes and it’s not perfect, but if it helps anyone else there here it is. Please don’t write to me telling me…

Book Review : The Emotion Code
Overall opinion This book really did not contribute much to the sum of occult knowledge. In fact there was little benefit in being written. It provided a number of ways to use the body to dowse information from the subconscious. The focus was healing trapped emotions in the energy body, but its method of dealing…

Learning Resources
Since I am teaching a group I have found that it is easier with worksheets and similar tools. Please find below some worksheets that can be used by learning practitioners. They are designed to be able to cut out and glued into an A5 “Book of Shadows” or similar journal. In a coven of beginners…

The Unfaithful have no Faith
I note when performing rituals with some other pagans, they are always so quick to change all the rituals. When they are handed down traditional Hermetic, Rosicrucian, High Magic, Qabalistic and Grimoiric rituals. So quickly I hear people say “oh let’s get rid of this bit and add this in.” “I don’t like X and…

The Power of Nostalgia
I don’t know about any of my readers, but I have books I learned from originally which I no longer hold in much esteem. Authors like Silver Ravenwolf, Oberon vel Ravenhart and Ted Andrews. You might not even remember the author. Maybe it was just a purpley-pink coloured cover with what looks like a sphere…

Is Magic Subjective or Objective?
This is a great question. By which, I mean that I do not know the answer. I hope to explore it and give my view and the possible opinion of a view other people who had significant influences on the coming of our Modern Magic that we practice today. I am going to need to…

Don’t like Crowley? He’s still major source material
I am going to quote a little bit of Crowley throughout this blog. I know people hate that. Sorry, but not sorry. A lot of people tell me they want someone else as the source of magic. I get it, you don’t like him. He has bad vibes and did a lot of stuff wrong.…
