She Continues
I’ve been knee deep in star magic of late over at Rune Soup, and the tech in question uses Christian prayer to help get things off the ground. Why? The tech continues and builds out of vastly ancient magical techniques. And as I’ve played with it, it works. Meanwhile, Gordon pointed folks to a prayer […] … Continue reading…Angelic Protocols
Years ago, I had experimented with some “classic” chaos magic praxis about “personal demons”: trying to exorcise those parts of myself that have gone rampant and demonic, negative thoughtforms, etc. As I was talking about this with a friend the other day, I thought I would revisit the topic with the benefit of more experience […] … Continue reading…Reforming Demons
I felt spurred to start writing this post after reflecting on the unwillingness of many folks I know to actually assert any kind of authority with spirits. I’ve been guilty of this trait myself. I think in some ways that I didn’t want to be a jerk. I didn’t want to reproduce forms of nominally […] … Continue reading…The Daimonic + The Divine
The last week has been weird. I had stomach issues in the middle of the week (something I’d been taking went off, I suspect), allergies (I think from the cat—and dust), and forgetting my watch and keys yesterday at work. I forget my watch on occasion, but this was the first time I remember ever […] … Continue reading…Weird Angels
I was chatting with a friend via email, and as is my wont, I wound up having lots of things to say, and I started pondering things and trying to articulate them. But the topic of the NFL playoffs and the weirdness of the results came up. Now, I can’t do anything with football myself, […] … Continue reading…Red Pills & Furnaces
In having learned a bit more about astrology and the significance of the classical planets—even as the outer planets of Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, and others also do something—I’ve been trying to synthesize these things into a shape that fits me. Part of this synthesis has entailed easing into a sense of the cycles of my […] … Continue reading…Time
This is a long one. This article is ultimately about how the Conscious bridges or connects to the Unconscious, how the individual ego connects to the cosmos and the cosmos’s depths but also our own psychological and spiritual depths. In doing so, I’ve woven together several threads to get to where I’m thinking on these topics, so let me walk you through how I get at these ideas in this post. … Continue reading…Nyarlathotep, the Devil, and the Unconscious
I ponder the leviathan and myths and the Otherworlds. When you are working on your culture and your practice— Does it promote toxic masculinity (or toxic something-else)? Does it exclude other myths, peoples, art? Is it monological & promote instrumental reason? Does it treat the earth & people & nature with respect, even reverence? Do […] … Continue reading…[NB: Further Leviathanic Notes]
NB: From my journals, so please read the tone as more on-the-fly ponderings than anything else, but I’ve done some editing here for clarity. Heathen Chinese posted a fantastic article on TWH that links (conceptually) with my thoughts on glamours & egregores, thought-gods—of “leviathans” (via Hobbes[1] & elsewhere) as aggregate entities, social “golems” assembled in […] … Continue reading…[NB] Leviathan Glamours
Years ago, I was riding with friends in the next town over. Riding in vehicles is a wonderful way to experience a light trance state: road hypnosis, after all. And I hadn’t really been trying, hadn’t really learned anything about trance states, but there I was. At some point during this ride, I had the […] … Continue reading…3: Obscuring Magic
