I stand on the outside looking in
I’ve never really felt that I’ve fit in with the Occult or Pagan communities. I hold some rather unorthodox views including a vehement dislike of Aleister Crowley’s influence on occultism. I’ve also managed to get into some heated arguments about my practice of magic (specifically pop culture magic) on at least one podcast, where they [...]
Of Wounds and Tattoos
In a previous post, I showed off my most recent tattoo. Since showing it off, I’ve had an interesting, if somewhat painful experience that I want to relate. A couple days after I’d gotten the tattoo, I had three sores appear around the tattoo. One sore was actually in the tattoo, but on a spot [...]
Moving away from linear time
In this radio show, I talk about why its a good idea to move away from linear perspectives of time in order to do effective space/time magic. Listen to internet radio with Experimental Magic on Blog Talk Radio ShareTweet
Somewhere in Time
I watched the movie Somewhere in Time last night. It’s an interesting film because of the time travel aspect. In the film the protagonist travels back in time and to do this he hypnotizes himself to believe he is in the year 1912. To make this work, he has to remove everything from the room [...]
Developing a relationship with the spirits
I’ve been reading a lot of spider-man comics lately and one theme I’ve noticed in some of them is an exploration of the spider as a totemic being that spider-man is aligned with. It’s interesting to me because at the same time the question is raised as to why Spider-man hasn’t explored this connection in [...]
Conscious awareness as a reaction
As I’ve been writing Neuro-Space/Time Magic and exploring the concept of Identity, and how genuine changes occur in a person’s life, I’ve been thinking a lot about consciousness. Consciousness is put on a pedestal in a way, as a big accomplishment, and I understand why that is. Consciousness, when applied in a mindful manner, can [...]
My interview with Mona Magick on Inner Alchemy
Last week Mona Magick interviewed me on her radio show about Inner Alchemy, Neurotransmitters and Space/Time Magic. It’s been a while since I’ve been interviewed, so it was cool to be on this show. Thanks very much Mona Magick! ShareTweet
Intellectual Passion
When we usually think about passion we associate it with emotion, but in doing some reflection I find that a lot of my passion is intellectual. There’s something exciting about learning something new or putting together an experiment. or following through on a plan of action. I’ve always felt a passion for that. It might [...]
Identity Tattoo Part 2
Yesterday I went in for the last session of the identity tattoo. This time, for me, the focus wasn’t on covering something up, but being open to identity and where it could take me. Instead of trying to rewrite the past, I just allowed myself to be open to the present, and the possibilities [...]
pop culture magic and magical traditions
An intellectual interpretation of a symbol is by no means identical to experiencing the energy embodied by the symbol, particularly when the interpretation involves offhand alterations of basic meaning in respect or relevant words that should describe the subject matter accurately…a magical image, by way of contrast, may or may not have similar attributes to [...]
