A broad approach to love magic
I think its best to take a broad approach to love magic. What I mean is, its better to do love magic that isn’t focused on getting a specific person, but instead is focused on drawing the right people to your life. And its important to remember that any love magic also needs to focus [...]
Shunning as Banishment
I’ve been thinking a bit about shunning as a form of magical banishment. In my own experience, when I’ve decided to cut a person out of my life, I essentially end up shunning them, but shunning for me works on a magical level as well, because part of that process involves systematically getting rid of [...]
Draining Possibilities
Typical approaches to space/time magic tend to focus on generating possibilities, or at least becoming aware of them. A different approach however can be found in the idea of draining or negating possibilities. In Space/Time Magic I explained that you could visualize multiple possibilities as balloons and then pop the ones you didn’t want, while [...]
Divine Union
The Dance of the Day is sponsored by the song of the Night, The Twilight times are when the courts meet and share a moment of respect urging each other on in their chosen duties longing for the next moment when they meet exchanging brief pleasantries in an exhausted daze before resuming the festivities that [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Use what you got
Use what you got. That’s one of my mantras when it comes to magical work, and what it means is use everything at your disposal that helps you accomplish your goal. If you feel fear or worry about a situation where you need a result, then use that worry and fear to push for the [...]
A Space and Time poem
The aligning of space and time into each other as separate elements yet conjoined by human perception as one element In sacred space I move to the mysteries of time that show me paths to navigate from one space to the next Each space is a node that represents person, place, or event Each strand [...]
Excitatory Actions and Magic
Excitatory actions are the second basic type of action that a magician can use to induce an altered state of mind. Excitatory actions involve hyperstimulating yourself through activity. A runner’s high is an example of an excitatory action. The adrenalin caused by the running helps to stimulate euphoric state for the runner, which in turn [...]
Results and their role in the magical process
We always get results. We don’t always get the results we want. In magic, we are told not to lust for results, but conversely we look to results to prove that magic is effective, and that our magical process works. The reason we are told not to lust for results is because if we do, [...]
