Blue Fire and Skeletal Grounding
In a small online energy-work group, this is a ritual we are going to be working with for a couple of weeks. If you like it you can see more in the following book from which it is mostly taken. As someone who hasn’t read the book, however I cannot promise that it will be…

Occult Celebrity the new Fool’s Gold : Magic is Art or Science
I’ve been making the mistake of talking to people online again! But let’s not start there. Let’s set up some definitions before I get on with my typical rant. Fools gold is an expression sometimes used to describe Pyrite or Iron Pyrite. It’s basically iron with a bit of sulphur attached… as you can imagine…

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…
