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 […]

Those things that grow inside you
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 […]
Sometimes It Chooses Us
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…
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. […]
So Many Things…
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 […]
Pathworking is not an Enigma
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 […]
Pathworking to Empowerment
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. […]
A Rite of New Year Intent
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 […]
Generous Offerings
Infernal Greetings to All … Welcome to November and this month’s topic, Offerings. I really don’t have a huge amount of information to provide on my personal feelings and practices regarding Offerings. I am totally aware of the significance and purpose of giving Offerings and their importance to Demonolatry and Occult practices in general. They play a […]
Things That Go Bump in the Night
Infernal Greetings to All … Welcome to October and this month’s topic, Necromancy. I have to state up front that my knowledge of this topic is fairly limited. I have had brushes with it over the years but I have never undertaken an in depth study of it. I am not sure why since it […]
