A Wealth Magic Entity Experiment

In February I decided to create a wealth magic entity, specifically a sales magic entity. I was feeling frustrated with my lack of sales for my day business and I felt that what I needed was some help getting those sales. I realized I was too close to the situation so I created the sales [...]

Further Experiments with Zhine

  Since my original post about Zhine, I’ve been continuing to work with the technique and as is often the case I’ve taken to doing a bit of experimentation with it. My experiments have involved the core technique of maintaining awareness, without actually thinking or analyzing what you are maintaining awareness of. This has been [...]

Doubt and its role in your magical work

Jason recently posted a fantastic post about doubt and why it is useful for your magical work. I agree with his perspective that doubt is useful and that we shouldn’t automatically accept that just because we’ve gotten a result that it is the actual result we wanted. I think magicians are afraid to admit to [...]

Cutting across the artificial divide of cultures

I’ve been reading a book on Tibetan dream yoga and another one on quabalistic practices. What fascinates me the most is that both books discuss dreams and how to work with them in a similar fashion, despite the fact that both authors are from different cultures. As far as I can tell neither author has [...]

Why Evocation isn’t the One True Way to do magic

I love it when people make arguments that a particular technique is the one true way that magic works. Or make the argument that the only way something works is through the intercession of spirits. Let me be clear, I do evocations, invocations, and work with spirits, but not all the magic I do involves [...]

Why magic fails and why a process perspective can help

Nick Farrell recently posted an intriguing article about why magical rituals fail. He’d decided to play devil’s advocate and post on Facebook about a magical failure he’d recently had occur and he wanted some input, but he also wanted to explore how people justify failure in magic. He wasn’t the only one to weigh in [...]

The Value of Challenge in our Spiritual Work

I’ve lately been re-doing certain exercises and techniques I learned years ago. I’m redoing them because it’s been some time since I’ve done them, and I’ve challenged myself to do these exercises with more intention and awareness than I likely applied the first time I did them. To my mind, part of what makes spiritual [...]

Why Immanion Press is so Important to me

I don’t write much about the work I do with Immanion Press on this blog. Indeed, as far as many of you know, I’m just one of its authors. But the truth is I’m not just an author of Immanion Press. I’m also the Managing Non-Fiction editor of Immanion Press. (Cue in the jokes about [...]
