Michael’s Mass, Lucifer’s night.
Today is Michaelmas – the feast of St Michael. Since Michael is an angel he has no date of birth or death to link his feast to. Instead, the Mass of St Michael is celebrated to commemorate the defeat of Lucifer and the armies of Hell. Through the Christian lens, this is triumph of good […]
Continue readingThe Many Images of St Cyprian
Girolamo Menghi, leading exorcist of the Italian Renaissance,instructed exorcists to draw images of the demons that they were binding. Even if they could not perceive the demon, it would be bound to the image by the power of the priest. You see, the images of spirits are important. They are just as important as seals […]
Continue readingCyprian Days: STFU For A Second Would Ya?
So the “Days of the Cyprians” are upon us again, and if you follow me you know that the Sorcerer-Saint plays a huge role in my magic, so you might be wondering what I do to mark it. I think sometimes my Black School students are disappointed that I don’t have a super intense ritual […]

Continue readingWhen Revelation and Research DON’T Rhyme
I gave a talk a few months ago at the Hekate Symposium by Sorita D’este called “Making Research and Reveralation Rhyme”. The talk focused on how I hold both spirit revelation (I hate UPG as a term) and academic research in high regard. I keep them separate, yet let them each inform my work. In […]
Continue readingSorcery of Hekate Starts TOMORROW!
The wait is over. Sorcery of Hekate begins tomorrow. ” Far from being a cute little magic course to learn to cast spells and tell gods you love them, it is a tour de force of methodical personal evolution through the refinement of will, a call and a method for maturation into the bad ass witch you always […]
