Multiversal Tone
The hypnotic movement of the music, the sashay that calls for a steady shuffle as you and I move in time we create this altered reality a place of eyes, your eyes staring into mine mine staring into yours Your soul baring its truth to me showing all your possible timelines realities unfolding as you [...]
An infinity of possibilities
Multi-angled eyes stare into an infinity of possibilities absorbed in the flow of time acting on space unrealized possibilities folding into realities not are own as well fall into shimmering waves of existential bliss The angles of the angels reveals place, purpose, function, What are they but what they identify with? The angles of the [...]
Belonging and Occult groups
I’ve never belonged to an occult group, and only briefly considered joining two, before I determined that I’d rather just pursue my own path. But recently on Facebook someone revived the Zee List and for a time I participated on that list way back when and it was interesting to observe how different people responded [...]
A day of ritual work
Right now Portland is experiencing an unexpected snow storm, which has pretty much shut down the ability to travel in the city. I’m not one to spend my time idly, however. So I decided to do some ritual workings today and have another I’ll be joining astrally later tonight for the solstice. I first decided [...]
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 [...]

Follow-up to my post about my disillusionment with the Occult Scene
I’ve been watching with some interest just how much traffic my post about my disillusionment with the occult scene has generated. It even got linked by Chas Clifton, a pagan blogger and academic. He summarized that post as, ” Aleister Crowley’s legacy still poses problems for occultists — especially when they take Internet “life” as [...]
My disillusionment with the occult scene
My disillusionment with the occult scene started eight years ago. I remember the incident vividly. I was telling my mentor, a magician who was a member of TOPY about some ideas I had about pop culture and magic, when he stuffily told me that my ideas weren’t real magic. I was pretty shocked to be [...]
Magic and Role Models
The Occult and Role Models Humans are social creatures, and we inevitably seek people to model our behavior off of. Magicians and mystics are no different. My experience with the occult, from some early Robert Anton Wilson, Jung, and general mysticism, has largely been from Taoist sources. Interested in meditation, Chi work, and philosophy, it [...]
Some occult authors to look into
In my last post about Julius Evola’s works, one of my commenters asked if I’d include a list of lesser known occult authors that people might consider looking into. So here’s a small (and not complete) list of occult authors that I personally think people should read. Note that I’m not including Crowley’s work or [...]
