“I want you to be nice until its time not to be nice”.  – Dalton, from the movie Roadhouse. Someone recently wrote me asking some questions about evocation and prefaced it with “I know you don’t approve of working with the spirits of the Goetia…”.

GURU RINPOCHE DAY

Today is Guru Rinpoche Day. All hail the Lotus Born! Though today is a special practice, I do a Padmasambhava practice any day. In fact every day, before I even get out of bed, the first words out of my mouth every day are the following: ཧཱུྂ༔ ཨོ་རྒྱན་ཡུལ་གྱི་ནུབ་བྱང་མཚམས༔ hung orgyen yul gyi nubjang tsam Hūṃ! […]

Many of you will already know him from his work with the Pagan and Magical community, and of course the Open Source Order […]

Weaving a Story in Business

“But Jason, you said opening and occult store was a BAD Idea.” Actually, I usually don’t say that. I usually something like “opening an occult store without an angle is a bad idea”.  And it is. You cant just hang a sign in a random town with a smattering of stuff for witches and magicians, […]
