In the past I used to run two sessions of Sorcery of Hekate a year. The cycles keep getting bigger and so I decided to run overlapping cycles, so that there would be four rather than two cycles. I think maybe I want to scale back to three in order to give myself a bit […]
Continue readingI recently asked current Sorcery of Hekate students what they wished they knew before taking the course. One student suggested they wished they knew more about Spirit Mandalas since a mandala plays a huge role in our Arcana. So, here we go. You are probably already familiar with the word Mandala, and maybe think of […]
Continue readingIf you follow this blog, or are familiar with my work at all, you know that I have a series of courses designed to train students in a specific body of Sorcery related to Hekate. Of course when I started teaching on Hekate, there was not the abundance of material and teachers devoted to her […]
Continue readingI don’t generally talk politics here but I also cannot ignore that I and a large majority of my readers/students/fans are pretty stressed out over the result of the election.

Tomorrow people all over the world will begin the 9 days of a novena […]
Continue readingA couple weeks ago I posted a random vision I had when waking up. It was Jesus seated with Mary Magdalene standing on one side and Mary of Bethany on the other. The arrangement was very similar to how Padmasambhava sits with Yeshe Tsogyal and Mandarava on each side of him. Anyway, I posted it […]
Continue readingThere is a new round of posts on Social Media arguing for/against charging for magic and magical training. Actually, to be honest I have only seen posts FOR it, which is probably a result of blocking, being blocked, and the algorithm generally showing us all what we already think.
