What does Franz Bardon mean by Fluid Condenser?
Okay so Franz Bardon is a difficult read because a lot of what he is writing about as you work through his books is very simple occult subjects but he was writing at a time when qi-gong and simple English hadn’t really impacted the Occult much yet. Many of his terms seem to come from…

What is Energy?
Energy is the substance that you move around when you do Energy work. Well then, what is energy work? Well, it’s moving around energy. Okay… that’s not the most helpful definition, but it is probably the most honest one. Energy is a spiritual substance that can be moved around, moulded and used for a number…

Visible Construct
This is based on an article called Construct Flaring by Stony1205 originally at psionline.org. While this is not the most useful of the articles written by Stony, it forms part of an effort to recreate many of the articles that I learned the basics of my craft working with.

Everyone is Correct, Nothing is True
There comes a point in groups where we want to allow everyone to feel they are just as valid to have an opinion, but sooner or later someone comes along who is completely wrong and suddenly that philosophy falls apart. In a recent group meeting this Tuesday, one of the members of my coven said…

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…

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.…
