Hekate Helps Take Back Your Mind

I took the week of the blog but have been meaning to point out THIS PIECE from Jesse Dollar. He takes both my Sorcery of Hekate Course and the Take Back Your Mind course and is finding the cross-fertilization fruitful. I often focus on the outward successes of Sorcery because I want to fight against […]

HELIOS GLOBAL RITE IS NOW!!!

The Helios Global Rite is happening now, but the window is still open through the 4th if you want in on it. Best yet, we are following this up in the Strategic Sorcery Community with a 2 week challenge – an invocation of a planetary power every other day starting next Monday. This lets us […]

Conventions and Money

Last month Taylor Elwood wrote an Open Letter to Pagan Convention Organizers, detailing how he is no longer going to present at conferences where it is expected that he foot the bill to come and present workshops. This post was followed by much conversation and a few other posts on the subject. Some expand his post to […]

Strategic Sorcery: Does it work TOO WELL?

I got the following comment in an apprentices field report, that sums up something that many students have communicated: “Sometimes I almost wonder if I am not neglecting other parts of my magical education by having my problems solved so (relatively) easily this way. The thing is, it fucking WORKS.” -VM You see, when most […]

The Blog-o-Sphere

Those that have been active, seem to have most of the comments on facebook rather than on the blogs themselves. Part of this is due to spammers slamming blogs so hard […]

David Bowie.

This morning, Tiffany woke me up with the words “David Bowie died last night”. It’s kind of odd how some moments feel like they just get stapled into the memory books because of their importance.
