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. […]
Pathworking mystery
It took me the longest time to figure out what Pathworking is.. I feel dumb now, since someone just explained to me what it was.. I’ve been doing that since I was young in the occult, it was called “ground and center time” or “meditation guidance”. The rhythmic drum beat, ta ta ta ta ta ta […]
Bringing in the new
Each year always feels like we have a fresh slate, doesn’t it? We can start over with new routines or habits that we didn’t have before. I think once a year every magician should do a thorough cleaning of her energy and space. Some people do it in the spring time when they’re cleaning their […]
Goals, Achievement, Progress
The custom of setting new resolutions or goals, right in line with the birth of a new year, seems entirely too Pagan of an idea to be of modern decent. At least to me, anyway. That does not however, change the fact that the modern practice is an empty shell of what it could, or […]
Resolutions or Goals?
I’m not a resolution man. Resolutions are for people who have no intention of really doing what they resolve to do. They are feeble promises we make to ourselves about superficial things. My wife keeps making resolutions to eat less sugar and more vegetables and it hasn’t happened yet. Goals are something I can get […]
The Power of Ritual
This month’s topic was supposed to be about ritual. The exact topic was Ritual: What rituals have had the most meaning for you and your life? But as many of you know, I’ve been busy completing Infernal Colopatiron (which is now at the printer) so the month got away from me and I was unable […]
Now is the Time for Atonement
“Of all these things I offer unto you, infernal wisdom waits…” Burt Offerings – Iced Earth November is when I sit down with the Daemonic Divine and re-evaluate my goal lists. It’s also a time when I tend to make my biggest offerings. Not offerings to the Daemonic directly. I’d like everyone to reconsider the purpose […]
Threshold..
What I say today in this post is just my opinion… In today’s world of magick, many magick users tend to want to conduct quick rituals and instant results.. With Threshold magick, it is not quick and the results are unseen. Long time students of magick, they avoid true Threshold magick and do simple cleansing of a […]
Crossing Da’ath Without Drowning
Many years ago I attempted to keep a blog. I procrastinate too much so it didn’t work out. However, one thing I did discuss at some length was whether or not the magician needed to be deconstructed while crossing Da’ath. I know this is a point with a lot of magicians. Some believe that the […]
