She Continues
I decided to take a note–er–a page from @TheJaymo and figured I could do weekly-ish notes, too. The Daily Routine My current morning routine is a slew of business: Acknowledge country St. Cyprian protective prayer Do my version of St. Patrick’s lorica (kinda sans St. Patrick) Do a St. Columba success prayer Do the Heptameron […] … Continue reading…Weekly Notes: December 21
One of the recurring things in magical studies—and I am broadly including strands of alchemy, mysticism, and more under this rubric for the time being—is that embodied life on Earth represents a second order existence that comes after some preceding state. From a Christian perspective, we live in a “fallen” state—we are postlapsarian rather than […] … Continue reading…Jailbreaking the Fall
Over the last couple of years, I’ve explored astrology and geomancy, and both practices have contributed to my larger practice and lifeways. Tarot remains my go-to divinatory or fortune telling method, though. I also use it often for facilitating spirit contact, especially if I need some help getting to the right headspaces at the time. […] … Continue reading…12 House Tarot Spread
I’ve waited on making this post because it reflects experiments I had begun with the eclipses of January, and continued on with the July eclipse in Cancer. I began this experiment after having several brainstorms. I knew the eclipses were coming up this year, and they’re hitting pretty sensitive places in my chart. Indeed, I […] … Continue reading…Out of the Shadow: Eclipse Experiments
So, I’ve been doing a lot of star magic of late. I’m not making (astrological) talismans, though I’ve played with those in the past. No, this current spate of experimentation began with Gordon White’s “[Lunar] Mansion Game” for Q2 2019. I suspect Gordon looked at the space weather for June through August and decided, fuckit. […] … Continue reading…Out of the Silence
  The following article I had started to draft months ago for a particular project that was abandoned. However, I had some recent notions about the subject that I wanted to explore. Dating most likely to the early eighteenth century, the Clavis Inferni identifies the demonic, directional Four Kings of the spirits as Uricus, Maymon, […] … Continue reading…Allegories of Hell
My friend @stefficus and I talked about containers recently. I don’t just mean plastic storage bins, but containers including signs, decans, cosmological concepts, the universe, you, and more. Back a little over a year ago, I had written about humans as “hollow vessels,” and there I focused more on how we choose to fill ourselves: […] … Continue reading…Astral Vessels
I was meditating a few weeks back and got a strong ping from the Pleiades, the Seven Sisters, and I’ve always had a fondness for the asterism. I always enjoy looking up and recognizing the Pleiades (and Orion). So, I decided I’d try my hand at calling up the Pleiades. What do I mean by […] … Continue reading…Seven Sisters
Today’s the anniversary of David Bowie’s death. It’s also the third anniversary of me actually finding Bowie through “Blackstar” (and Blackstar). I mean, I’d always dug certain stuff by Bowie, but I was a late bloomer for Bowie. I mean, yeah, Labyrinth, “Under Pressure,” “Life on Mars,” and such I’d liked, but I didn’t deep […] … Continue reading…Blackstar Day
So, magical language as reality, performing that language, thinking about where it comes from, and where and when we do it. In this post, I’m going to begin by covering some familiar territory, but I’m doing so for three reasons. Firstly, I try not to presume everyone remembers where I’ve gone before (let alone those […] … Continue reading…Strange Grammars
