Credibility, causality, and magic
When I think about causality and magic, one realization I have is that trying to make the causality of magic credible is really trying to apply a different model of thinking that may not fit magic. Magic doesn’t really operate on Scientific laws of cause and effect. It has its own rules, and those rules [...]
She came to me
She came to me tonight as I was being massaged and said, “I would have an audience with you tonight.” I said I’d prefer if this audience occurred when I was alone, for since this was part of my emptiness work, that needed to be part of it. She smiled and said, “I’ll get you [...]
An art recommendation and a minor update on my work with elephant
Check out Acrylick Alchemy. It’s really fantastic, magical art by gifted artist and occultist Acrylick. I’ve liked her art from the beginning. I find to be very evocative. You can tell she’s tapped into the spirit of what she is working with. I’ve sometimes felt that the paintings could come alive… I haven’t posted an [...]
Elemental Love Work month 12
I wrote this poem on Thursday, in my live journal. I’m reposting it here, because it depicts part of the conclusion to the elemental Love work. The connection is what we want silver strands that glisten by the star light, whispering promises from the vibrations of the space/time wind The core opens to reveal the [...]
Bonding with the Land
I don’t get tattoos very often. In fact, I only get them on special occasions. I got a phoenix to say goodbye to the east as well as to signify my rebirth from the ashes of academia. I got a Green wolf paw on my left breast, when I married my wife. Today I got [...]
Review of Introduction to Magic by Julius Evola and the UR Group
Introduction to Magic by Julius Evola The title of this book could be a bit misleading, as it’s fair to say that the majority of the articles in this book are not intended for people who are just coming into magical practice. The articles requires at least an intermediate knowledge in Hermeticism, Alchemy, or Buddhist [...]
When sickness strikes, opportunity occurs
I’m not sick, but my wife is. She has strep throat. I took her to the hospital last night and we got her the appropriate anti-biotics to combat it. But she’s still infectious, so there’s the potential chance I could get sick. I actually had felt a bit of soreness in my throat earlier that [...]
Emotions and circuits
I’m reading The Emotional Brain by Joseph LeDoux. It’s a fascinating book, which so far has mainly looked at how psychologists and neuroscientists have tried to explain the role of emotions and where emotions reside in the brain. What I find rather interesting is that LeDoux argues that the notion that the emotions are based [...]
Neuro-Sorcery Pt 3
Each morning I’ve been doing the meditation I described in my last post about neuro-sorcery. What I’ve felt is a tingling feeling in the center of my brain. It’s been a pleasureable feeling. I have felt more focused using the meditation. This working has given me some inspiration toward how specific psychological or physiological issues [...]
Neuro-Sorcery pt 2
Today I re-established contact with the Endorphin and Serotonin neuro-transmitters. The Endorphin neurotransmitter gave me a ball with a synaptic fire in it. Said it would be useful for activating the psynapses for my experiment. Serotonin showed me how to combine the symbols for each neurotransmitter together and apply the synaptic fire to the symbols [...]
