Yesterday I spied two Magpies on a boulder in my yard and it reminded me of the famous nursery Rhyme about foretelling fortunes by counting Magpies. You have probably heard it. One for sorrow, Two for joy, Three for a girl, Four for a boy, Five for silver, Six for gold, Seven for a secret, […]

If you jump off a building, you will fall to the ground. That’s gravity: it’s a natural law. Doesn’t matter who you are or where you are. Gravity is applicable to everyone, everywhere, all of the time. It doesn’t matter if you believe with your whole being that you can fly like Superman, if you […]

Today is the feast of St Cyprian, and I thought I might take this opportunity to talk about how St Cyprian taught me to honor both Christ and the Devil. Early on in my workings with Cyprian, he appeared to be standing at the mouth of a cave that led to the underworld. It looked […]

There are a lot of people writing about St Cyprian these days, but the person who is shedding the most light on his magical history has to be José Leitão.

I just opened registration for the JUPITER: Sorcery of Achievement Course. I love all my courses, but this one is very special to me because it links what I consider to be the highest mystical work available to the most mundane and material parts of our lives. Even if you don’t take the course, I […]

I got an email this weekend with an intriguing question: “Jason, you have laid out a scheme of levels of reality that goes from non-dual, to mental, to astral, to etheric, to physical.

This morning a student asked: “could one receive a siddhi from accumulation of one of the gods mantras, for example Helios’s mantra or Jupiter’s chant?” Given that they used the term “Mantra accumulation” I am assuming they have a background in Tibetan Buddhism, but like me, apply some of what they learn in that context to […]
