This month I asked Audrey Brice to come by and tell us a little about Rising Darkness, the latest release in the Demonolatry steeped OTS series. She tells us what inspired it, how Demonolatry plays a role in her novels, and what’s next for Elizabeth Tanner and the crew. ————————- FD- What inspired you to […]

Matrons, Patrons & Mentors – Oh My!
I have known people who made a hasty choice for their Matron/Patron and later redid their dedication to a new Matron/Patron. However, I’m a bit old-school in my personal opinion. Back when I began practicing, we were asked to study and practice at least a year and a day before even considering exploring Matrons or […]
Changes
This month’s topic has been debated by online groups, forums, and organizations for years, and will probably continue to be debated for quite some time. Very few ideas or concepts within the occult field are as hotly contested or argued over, and I believe that to be due to the personal attachments and feelings people […]
Much Ado about Being Overdue
Well, half the year has already passed, and I’m finally at a point where I can sit down and start my writing again. I would have never guessed that something as simple as changing jobs could have completely destroyed my schedule and routine as much as it has. Who knew? A couple of months ago […]
Keys of Ocat is Available!
The Keys of Ocat reveals the never before published Saturn rites, seals, and theophantic gate opening rituals of Ocat, the abyssal gatekeeper of the dead. Behind His gates dwell the Daemons of death including Euronymous, Balberith, Bune, Hekate, Frucisierre, and many others. These blood magick rituals, talismans and seals will aid the advanced magician in […]
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 […]
Demonic Possession? Or something else.
No matter how one looks at it, or what one’s opinion is on it, the very notion of Demonic Possession is an interesting and intriguing idea to think about. It’s either a scary, abhorant thought to you, or it’s something that you wish you could experience just once. Though I am sure there are more […]
Demonic Possession Doubts
I’m not a very big fan of the commonly held perception of Demonic possession. Even ignoring the fact that it perpetuates the negative stereotypes and misconceptions about the Daemons, I simply don’t think it’s very well thought out. To begin with, the very premise of non-consensual Demonic possession infers that the Daemon wishes to make […]
In Search of Demonic Possession
Infernal Greetings to All … Welcome to March and this month’s topic, Demonic Possession. This is a rather difficult topic to write about since nobody seems to agree what exactly it is or if it is real at all. I have read everything from psychologists that feel it is nothing more than a severe […]
Raising Hell
This month I didn’t do a post on the second because the end of the year for me means chaos at work. However I was given a rare opportunity to read the pre-print copy of S. Connolly’s Infernal Colopatiron and it inspired this random post that isn’t even on my day so I hope the […]
