I was fulfilling what seemed an entirely reasonable request from one of my spirits for additions to their altar, and my hand brushed up against the wings on their statue’s back. And I brushed against feathers and wing—actual feathers and wing—and I pulled back and kind of giggled and spun around a bit dizzy. I […] … Continue reading…Clairsentience & The “Real”
Codices It was the “supermoon” of 2017, or at least the visible supermoon of 2017 for where I lived the other night, and compared to many full moons of the last year, this one wound up being far more involved. Sabbatic revelry was the first order of business, but as I chatted with the Devil, […] … Continue reading…Spirited
A Crazy Wall of my own knot of synchronicities—associative, allusive, weaving a serpent journey, as the raven flies. … Continue reading…Feather & Scale
This process we know better as the way a lens (here the soul) refracts light into a form useful to our desires. The general mental faculties Bruno points to fall under, yes, what we these days might call intelligence but which also include the imagination–the ability to form images (image-ination). … Continue reading…Light, Shadow, Darkness (2)
In an article about occult and paranormal subject matter, asking about such simple concepts like light and dark risks sliding into the territory of cliché. One of the central clichés of New Age writing is about “light,” which is rarely addressed in any other than uncritical and vague terms. Outside of mundane illumination, I imagine the […] … Continue reading…Light, Shadow, Darkness (1)

I had been keeping a magical journal (“grimoire” as I pretentiously like to affect to myself—and sometimes here) back at some point prior to 2013. I began in […] … Continue reading…Re-Introduction, Premises, Declarations
I started to go into the Dark Wood, which seems brighter and closer now, last night, but I headed towards the cave to TTL. The path to TTL seems to begin on a plain and meadow with some sparse, young trees—grassy fields and maybe scrub—until you start passing larger trees and mounds and small hills. […] … Continue reading…TTL, Golden Dawn Initiation and Soul Work
I did deG’s invocations of the SG and—well, that felt good enough that I did it two or three times. Afterwards, I tranced and went through the door again, to the Shores. Once there, I aligned, dancing in the blue rainbow faentaur and that also felt fantastic. It was night/dusk/pre-dawn, and I called T and […] … Continue reading…de Grandis Revisited, Imaginaries, Shaping
I went in on the 8th, the night of, and K and I made our way to the Dark Wood and up Elethis. As I made my way up the Root and then the Trunk, I became aware of a wind blowing down and out from the HW and how my wings unfurled from it, […] … Continue reading…Trancing, Spatial Metaphors
That projection of vividly imagined—things, sights, sounds, sensations, is something everyone suggests as starting point or as kick-starter to magic. Thorn does so. So do others. I’ve found myself wondering about my disbelief and others’, and what I think happens—with worry about whether or not I’m being paid on the first, this revisits old anxieties […] … Continue reading…Counter ôl-vala, Rites, Chakra Notes, Bridging
