Figured out how to refine the mastermind experiment
Tonight, at the local experiment group, one of the people had put together an experiment where we would synchronize our states of consciousness by doing a meditation together. The meditation was fairly simple. We basically just walked back through the entire day in the emditation, reliving what happened during the day. But what fascinated me [...]
Latest space/time Tarot Experiment
At Pantheacon, I had the good fortune to barter one of my books for a very intriguing Tarot deck, the Elemental Hexagons Deck. Tonight I broke the deck in with a space/time tarot ritual working for a friend of mine. I used the voyager deck to create the magical circle and invoked the future version [...]
Release of The Flowering Rod: Men and Their Role in Paganism by Kenny Klein
Immanion Press/Megalithica Books is pleased to announce the release of its newest nonfiction title, The Flowering Rod: Men and Their Role in Paganism by Kenny Klein! Much is made of women in neopaganism–but what about men? Where are the men’s mysteries, and what is their role in modern paganism? These questions and more are addressed [...]
Economic Activism as a form of Social Responsibility
Last night I was invited to speak at a Reality Sandwich event at Powell’s books. I evidently spoke well enough that people actually wanted me to sign copies of the RS anthology about 2012, even though I had not written an essay for the book. One of the subjects I mentioned was economic activism and [...]
Specialness, Vulnerability, and Magic
Yesterday I had a conversation about the need to feel special and how that plays out in occult/pagan culture and also the feeling/role of vulnerability in magic. I don’t really perceive myself or what I do as special perse. I think my practice of magic is an expression of my spirituality and curiosity. It’s a [...]
Update on Mastermind experiments
I posted a while back about experimenting with the master mind concept in Napoleon Hill’s Think and Grow Rich! And honestly it’s been a bit of a flop. I’ve noted some synchronicities with people I did it with, but also a fair amount of inaccuracies and I’m not entirely sure how to refine the process [...]
Elemental Emptiness Month 4: Compassion pt 1
1-15-09 I’ve spent the entire day sitting with several patterns of behavior which I’ve identified as behaviors where I’m engaged in dysfunctional behavior. One example is that while I think it is good to recognize qualities you want in a partner, taken to an extreme this can be its own form of objectification. Have I [...]
Releasing negativity by using negativity
Yesterday I was feeling very frustrated and negative about some situations occurring in my life. I felt like I had no control, or like anything in my favor. I realized that I was in a bad enough mood that I’d probably end up feeling this way the rest of the day unless I did something, [...]
Connecting to my shadow self
Tonight I was taken on a pathworking to find some resources to help me work with my emptiness. Throughout this pathworking I used the Taoist water breathing meditation, which helped put me in a deep head space. The priestess who took me on this journey is someone I trust, who really knows her stuff and [...]
Thoughts on energy work
Very recently I had an experience with energy work which really amazed me, because of how subtle it was and yet how how powerful as well. It was a case of someone taking over an interaction and showing me how I was actually over-extending myself instead of allowing myself to flow into the moment. This [...]
