I am going to try and keep this one short, as many of us are busy making preparations for the coming weeks. This time of year usually brings out different emotions for many of us. Of course it is usually a happy time to gather with family and friends. But for those of us who […]
I don’t see any problem with creating your own form of Demonolatry and / or using Traditional methods. Traditional Demonolatry could be considered a perfected free-form Demonolatry. If you think about it, it had to start somewhere. Someone’s ancestor worked hard, wrote information down, and passed it on. Some families probably died out or lost […]
I’ve always found it fascinating how our culture has turned something as unique and sacred as personal spirituality into some sort of bizzare competition where the “loser” is everyone but ourselves. Perhaps it’s the human need to be “right” or somehow “special” and to have others validate that, that causes the “who’s right and who’s […]
So in this blog I would normally just have commented on how I’ve been using Abyss Hyms music (check out the shop, up in the bar ;D ), I have used sea shells from store bundles to add the water element into rituals, I have bathed with salts dipped in mint oil before rituals calling […]
I know this month’s topic is supposed to be about ritual atmosphere, but I have something else weighing heavy on my mind and I thought today I’d do a little soul baring and tell you about something that happened to me this week. Now mind you my intention in sharing this story is not to […]
Ten things I wish I knew when I started out: 1. Never go in to any magickal work expecting to do it once and know it completely afterward. 2. Every three years (at most) go back to the beginning to find all the things you missed. 3. Don’t be literal – think outside the box. […]
I have several things that I wish I would have known when I began my path, with hindsight being 20/20 and all that. I’m only going to touch on three here though, so I don’t run on for pages. I apologize for the post coming a day late, but since the introduction of a new […]
Not too long ago I was talking to a young man about training for the priesthood. He told me about how he’d gone through the training for priesthood in several other traditions and he was always left feeling like the training had no substance. This left him jumping from tradition to tradition, looking for “the […]
To be honest, I was nervous about this month’s writing topic. I was having a hard time nailing down the practice of pathworking, but after sitting down with my copy of The Complete Book of Demonolatry and searching for the area on pathworking that I remembered seeing, I had soon re-acquainted myself with it’s particulars. […]
I never start my year with magickal goals. I generally start my year with a new list of goals for project completion, self-work, or mundane things. This year my list looks like this: First Quarter Goals: Finish 3 projects in the first quarter Clean out boxes and bookshelves in office. Put together boxes for donation. Taxes: Feb […]
