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 […]
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 […]
Yes, it’s Angie’s day, but looking at the rest of the bloggers it appears that maybe Angie won’t be posting either. So here I am in her stead to apologize for being a slacker and not posting this month. Truthfully I had a wonderful blog planned out. I did. I was going to write about connecting […]
Recently it seems an alleged Washington D.C. attorney named Dick Kirchner is running around the web saying he had Kasdeya Rite of Ba’al verified as not authentic by a Penn University German professor named Brubaker. You can see where he claims this on this blog. Let me state some facts: First off, Mr. Kirchner is […]

In other news, I will be teaching a live video ascension meditation class in November (2-3 hours, $20 per connected computer – you can […]

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. […]
It’s pretty hard for me to write posts that are reader Q&A these days since most of my answers to the questions are printed in my books and most readers have read the bulk of my books. So everyone knows my opinion on this stuff. With regard to possession, suffice to say that I view […]
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 […]
