The following blog post is from my personal website. I thought I’d share it here, too, as it’s relevant. I was having a conversation with a friend last week about necromancy and the thinning of the veil. He made a passing comment about how October 31 is when the veil is thinnest. I had to […]

Nuctemeron Gates
Nuctemeron Gates discusses the Nuctemeron of Apollonius of Tyana as a full path-working ritual for the adept and as a complete gate opening ritual to bring the “light of the world” manifest into the magus. Please note that this book is meant as a supplement to Infernal Colopatiron : A Manual of Daemonic Theophany. However, Infernal […]
Spiritual, Religious, Both, and Neither
This month’s topic can actually be somewhat of a challenge to write about. There is a great deal of ambiguity in today’s society regarding religion and spirituality. Some people use the two words interchangeably, while others hold them as two very different things. A great example of this is the ever-popular phrase, “I’m spiritual, but […]
Moving Meditation
I want to take a few moments to talk about tai chi, yoga, walking, and raking your yard – all while breathing. When we think of meditation, how many of us think of meditation cushions, bells, gongs, yogis sitting in lotus position, and being calm and still? Not as many people stop to think about […]
Meditation Opportunities
This month I am going to write about the varying opportunities that meditation offers us, and how taking advantage of those opportunities can influence almost every aspect of our lives, from the mundane to the magical. Meditation offers us many things. Even simple meditations involving nothing more than stilling the mind are more valuable than […]
Meditation is Fundamental
Meditation is one of the most fundamental practices that all magicians should make habit of. There are a lot of reasons for this and it could take me pages and pages to explain why so I’ll try to narrow it down to a few essential points. 1. Meditation makes the magician aware that he is […]
Research is boring and I’ll tell you why
I didn’t post early this month for two reasons. One because I was busy and two because when it comes to sex magic, that stays in my temple and I guess I subscribe to the idea that it isn’t something you discuss in polite company. That’s when I told myself I could conclude none of […]
Responsible Use
For June’s how-to Blog, I’ve decided to share a guide I wrote a few years ago, concerning channeling (Ouija) boards, and how to effectively use them. I wrote this guide as an informational tool to fight the misinformation I was bombarded with when trying to sell the high-end, heirloom quality channeling boards I once sold. […]
Atmosphere within the ritual space
The atmosphere of a ritual can vary greatly from one ritual to another, but it is always of great importance. Atmosphere is a fluid thing; It can be changed in order to fit whatever working or goal is being attempted. It has a strong effect on the psyche and a person’s confidence, which can strongly […]
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. […]
