STRATEGIC SORCERY SUMMER SCHEDULE!
I have a lot going on this summer and folks have been asking me to set dates and make them public. So here goes: WISDOM OF HEKATE What is it? A Three Month Course that Explores The Mystical Side of our Hekatean Arcana. When does it start? June 21st, which is SOON! BLACK SCHOOL SORCERY […]
Continue readingSTOP PROTOCOL STACKING!
The Student wants to gather Graveyard Dirt for a spell. They have heard that there is a proper way to do this and of course, they want to do it right. So they do some research and find that in RootDoctor X recommends first making an offering a shot glass of whiskey in exchange for […]
Continue readingStop Trying To Make Dark Spirits Nice
I keep encountering students that want to work with the Darkest and most Wrathful Spirits they can find, and put them to work on NICE things. A group of spirits that curse a victim with loss? “Hey maybe I can get them to steal my addiction away!” A demon known for wasting a victim slowly […]
Continue readingIn Defense of Schueler Enochiana
John Dee and Edward Kelly started receiving what we now know as Enochian Magic in the 1580’s. It included many Christian elements common for magic of the time, but also an Enochian Language and Script, and many complex tables containing names of spirits that are unique to this system. This is true and well documented, […]
Continue readingUnpublished Enochian Manuscripts!
–April 1st, 2024 Anyone that perused the shelves of the Magic or New Age sections of a Bookstore in the 80’s and early 90’s will remember the Enochian books of Gerald Schueler.

Whether it’s magic or politics or money, invariably one of my fellow “magical people” raises and eyebrow and tells me that my approach is somehow strange for […]
Continue readingHOW TO KICK ASS AT SPELLS: 3 STAGES
I was talking with a student about how to get good at spellcasting. Not a particular tradition or a system but just sort of overall. It’s a question I get asked a lot. Sometimes even people in advanced classes on Sorcery of Witchcraft have overlooked the topic of spells. If you want to get really […]
Continue readingThe Father Of Witches
When I sent out the Hekate/Helios rite this week I referred to Helios as “The Father of Witches.” I have done this a few times now, and every time I do I get some variation of the following question: “I have researched the known epitaphs of Helios and cannot find any instance of him being […]
Continue readingIs New Years A Good Time for New Starts?
At some point over the last several weeks you have probably seen some variation of a “NEW YEAR/NEW YOU!” type of marketing. “Now Is The Time!”, these adverts and articles say, for you to join the new program that will get you fit, reduce your stress, make you rich, get you laid, unlock your divinity […]

I was thinking about joining Sorcery of Hekate, BUT…. 1. The timing right now is bad: Then don’t join right now. I have no plans on going anywhere and this course is available at least twice a year. 2. I can’t afford it/it would be a major financial stretch It’s tough out there, and anyone […]
